I got so freaked out by the fact that Gordon Freeman is canonically 27 that I decided to find out how old all the other classic FPS protagonists are, and it didn’t make me feel better

The narrator first played Half-Life at age 11 and found it frightening. B.J. Blazkowicz from Wolfenstein 3-D was born on August 11, 1911, making him 32-33 years old during the game's events. He is the grandfather of Commander Keen and an ancestor of DoomGuy. Kyle Katarn from Star Wars: Dark Forces was born in 23 BBY, making him 23 during Dark Forces, 28 in Jedi Knight, and 35 in Jedi Outcast. Cate Archer from No One Lives Forever was born in 1942, making her 25 during the game's events set in 1967. Prisoner 426 from Unreal has no defined age, allowing for player interpretation. Caleb from Blood was born in 1847, making him 81 during Blood set in 1928, but his death complicates his biological age. DoomGuy's age is generally assumed to be in his mid-thirties, though it is never officially specified. Ranger from Quake is suggested to be in his mid-forties to early fifties, based on lore from Quake Champions. Duke Nukem's age is ambiguous, with some sources suggesting he is between 45 and 47 during Duke Nukem Forever, while others envision him in his mid-thirties.

GeForce NOW comes to Linux, as Nvidia’s game streaming service exits beta

The prices of graphics cards and RAM have increased significantly, making building new PCs expensive for gamers. Cloud-streaming services like Nvidia's GeForce NOW provide an alternative by allowing access to existing game libraries from platforms such as Steam and Epic Games. The highest tier membership offers 5K streaming and up to 360 FPS for .99 per month. Nvidia's GeForce NOW has launched a native Linux application, moving out of beta, which allows Linux users to stream games at graphical fidelity comparable to RTX 5080 levels, with official support for Ubuntu 24.04 and later. The service has added nine new games, bringing the total to over 4,500 compatible titles. Since early 2026, a 100-hour monthly streaming cap has been implemented for all users to manage demand.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam (PC) Review

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam has officially launched after a series of open betas and a brief delay. Expression Games has adapted the 50 vs 50 first-person combat experience from World War II to the Vietnam War, featuring dynamic firefights, strategic planning, expansive maps, and historically accurate weaponry. The game combines elements of an arcade shooter and a military simulator, with gameplay that is faster and more fluid than its predecessor. Players can swim, climb ladders, and utilize helicopters, gunboats, logistics trucks, and tanks, although vehicle controls can be clunky. The game has visual and technical challenges, including texture popping and difficulty in differentiating maps due to similar appearances. Recent improvements have been made in hit detection and overall stability. The game has received positive feedback despite its challenges, offering a unique take on the franchise.

Australia’s online watchdog is taking messaging app Telegram to court over ‘pro-terrorist’ posts

Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, has filed a lawsuit against the encrypted messaging app Telegram for allegedly failing to detect and remove pro-terrorist and extremist content. This legal action follows a year-long investigation and is the first enforcement of online codes regarding unlawful material established a year ago. The lawsuit details multiple violations of the Online Safety Act 2021, including the failure to remove posts related to the Christchurch mosque attack and the Buffalo mass shooting, despite user reports. Telegram has claimed to have blocked over 150,000 terrorist-related communities and removed over 200 million pieces of terrorist content. If the lawsuit is successful, it could lead to penalties up to A.6 million and potentially a ban on the app in Australia.
