Digital Foundry | The Dark Souls 2 Lighting Engine mod delivers the remastered experience this game demands
Fully modernising a sometimes overlooked From classic.
Dark Souls 2 is an often overlooked entry in the Souls series, despite just how unique it was in experimenting with its mechanics and atmosphere back in 2014. In being sandwiched between the now iconic original Dark Souls, and developer FromSoftware's later efforts like Bloodborne, it's at times forgotten - thought of as an experiment, a tangent that wasn't followed up on. Even so, the modding community around Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin is blossoming on PC right now, and among the most remarkable mod offerings for the game is the Dark Souls 2 Lighting Engine.

Review | The Crush House review - reality TV has never been this truthful
Shooting your shot.
I always feel a little icky when I say I'm a fan of reality TV. It's no doubt a pop-culture titan, but it's also a genre that comes with a lot of problematic baggage. Exploitation, humiliation, hypersexualization, reinforced gender essentialism - the list goes on and on. The controversial topics the genre is tangled up in is - put lightly - a complete nightmare, but I can't stop watching. It's not just the drama (although I love the drama, too), I also like watching humans just be human, you know? I connect with the authenticity on screen, seeing people's emotions in their rawest form.

Supporters | Game of the Week: Doom 2 is eternal
Hurt me plenty.
Growing up, my family was a staunch Nintendo household. The virtue of having two older brothers meant I was able to devour all the games they inevitably pestered my parents for, though at that kind of age, all that really meant was repeatedly playing the same opening levels over and over again because that was all my tiny, un-coordinated child hands could manage. When our first family PC entered the scene in the mid-90s, I remember I always had to get one of them to load up DOS for me, too, as I could never remember the string of words and backslashes involved to get Magic Carpet running (a game that, to this day, I still have no idea what it's about). Or, indeed, the infinitely gorier Doom 2, a game I definitely shouldn't have been playing as a seven or maybe eight year old, but one I found myself surprisingly proficient at nonetheless.
