Blizzard's annual celebration doesn't just attract the studio's biggest fans, it also attracts some of the biggest cosplayers, some of whom were even there in an official capacity.

In case you didn't know, tonight is the fabled date for the brightest moon the Earth has ever seen since 1948. You might literally never get a view of the moon this good again in your lifetime - so if you want to watch, here's what you need to know.

With both BlizzCon and Worlds 2016 behind us, this weekend was a chance to catch our collective breath.

Video: After months of controversy surrounding the live-action Ghost in the Shell, we finally have something more fun to talk about. At a live event in Tokyo, the first trailer was unveiled to the world, and it's pretty fantastic.

If you were one of the few people lucky enough to get your hands on the recently released NES Classic, than you've probably already been relishing its retro aesthetic and extensive library, even as you curse its short controller chords.

For those playing (or re-playing) Skyrim right now and thinking, gee, this sure is a big game world, remember: for 1996's Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, Bethesda weren't feeling quite so constrained.

Some prefer the reassuring clickety-clack of a noisy mechanical keyboard. Others crave the quiet spring of membrane keys. Razer's Ornata keyboard combines the two into something called Mecha-Membrane, and it really is the best of both worlds.

One of the highlights of PAX Australia is, and always will be, the indies. There's plenty of games to play, from methodical singleplayer titles to frantic co-op couch shooters. I played a bunch over the course of the three day convention, and here's what I'll be keeping an eye on.

The first thing you should know about the NES Classic, aka the Mini-NES, is that it does exactly what it's supposed to do. The second thing you should know is that it's kind of a pain in the arse.

Creativity can go a long way, whether it's in the office or the D&D table. But people might not realise just how much utility lessons gained from fantasy adventuring can have in the real world.

In my game of The Sims 4, there's an NPC named Bruce Biggs. I first met him as he wandered over to a park bench, shirtless, wearing basketball shorts and a luchador mask. He promptly fell asleep.

After being completely bombarded by customers desperate to pre-order a Mini NES, EB Games has given up the ghost.

Its site is in a bad way, and it wants to do this all over again tomorrow.

EB Games did people the service of announcing its latest round of pre-orders for the Nintendo Classic Mini NES, but it looks like the whole thing just backfired. Badly.

EB's website is in a pretty bad state right now.

A couple of people immediately jumped to Tinder when they saw a little flame on ScribbleTaku last Friday, but it took Sombra to point out that the flame was actually from Overwatch. Figured I'd go with something more modern to finish off the week.

But it's a new day, and a new game. Let's see how you all go with this one.

Most VPNs do basically the same thing: mask your browsing from hackers and agencies. ZenVPN, however, goes above and beyond the status quo by offering high-speed browsing and advanced features that won’t get in your way when you surf. For a limited time, you can get a lifetime subscription for only $58.64 AUD .

As you may already be aware, EB Games is taking a second run of pre-orders for the Nintendo Classic Mini NES today at 12 midday.

But what you might have missed: JB Hi-Fi already did its second run, on the quiet.

Didn't matter: they were gone within minutes regardless.

This is insane.

After a few jam-packed weeks, Bethesda and Dishonored 2 largely got all of last week to themselves. Call of Duty and Battlefield was nowhere to be seen, and the only major distraction was on the hardware side with the Mini NES. (Which most people couldn't buy.)

So now that the game has been out for a weekend, how are you finding it?

A rift between the developers at Riot Games and the competitive scene around League of Legends has been growing for some time. A new letter addressed to the company and signed by 18 different professional League teams shows it's only getting worse.

Yesterday evening, NRG eSports took a best-of-seven series 4-2 against rivals Orbit eSports to become the North American Rocket League champions.

The win cemented their bid for top-place seeding at the global championship later this fall in Amsterdam, as well as earned them $US13,500 ($17,883) for their talents at using rocket-propelled cars to smash giant inflated balls into a digital stadium's goals.
