EVE Online player uses obscure rule to pull off the biggest heist in the game's history
(CCP)
Back in 2017, we learned about the biggest heist in EVE Online history: A year-long inside job that ultimately made off with an estimated 1.5 triillion ISK, worth around $10,000 in real money. But now another EVE player claims to have pulled off a heist worth significantly more than that--and with significantly less work involved.

I plunged into the depths of Elder Scrolls metal bands and found the ones worth listening to
(Bethesda)
Staring at the words "Elder Scrolls metal" I pledged my allegiance to the Night Mother and took the plunge. Deep within her fertile grave, I discovered the dank sludge of Wuuthrad, and the gritty power of Daedric Chamber, amongst other Elder Scrolls-themed bands. The Bards College best beware because we're going electric--these are the metal bands that Elder Scrolls inspired.

The Big Story
Capcom removes Denuvo from Resident Evil Village
(Capcom)
Like many recent Capcom games published on PC, Resident Evil Village included everybody's favourite anti-piracy software Denuvo when it launched back in May 2021. Also like many recent Capcom games published on PC, the DRM has quietly been removed.

Review of the Week
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened review: A perfectly grisly detective game that shows no scars of its development in a country under siege
(Frogwares)
Far from a rushed retread of the original game, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened feels fully reimagined with care and polish, and the result is an impressive, modern detective game that will feel fresh for longtime fans, but also requires no nostalgia or knowledge of the original to enjoy.

In Case You Missed It
Portal writer Erik Wolpaw still wants to make Portal 3, but Valve's 'flat structure' makes it a challenge
(Valve)
Valve's allergy to the number three continues. While the desire for a third Portal game might not be quite as powerful as the hunger for Half-Life 3 (or even just Episode 3), the mind-bending puzzle series continues to have plenty of fans eager to see it continue, including Portal writer Erik Wolpaw. Unfortunately, the likelihood of another sequel remains hard to gauge.

Finally, Something Funny
If you thought things couldn't get stupider, someone just held a CO2 reader up to a PC to prove 'bitcoin mining has zero carbon emissions'
(Riot Platforms)
Bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms recently shared a video claiming that its crypto mining operation "has zero carbon emissions," and if you think that's ridiculous, wait until you see how it reached that conclusion.
Wait, What?
