Destiny’s loot cave may be gone, but here’s another endless font of gear for you

Add as a preferred source on Google

Destiny‘s infamous loot cave may be no more, but that hasn’t stopped enterprising guardians from finding other loot caves for optimal farming, as we see in this new video shared on the Legendary Engram Twitter feed.

Like the previous cave, this new spot allows players to camp in one location with a clear line of sight onto a narrowly-channeled spawn point, and easily pick off enemies as they appear. The new cave is located in Old Russia’s Rocketyard, and because of its more confined layout it is actually more conducive to solo farming than the original loot cave.

The exploit is valid as of patch 1.0.1.5, but given the fate of the previous cave you probably want to get in there soon before Bungie catches wind. Fans of Diablo III are already familiar with this endless dance between min-maxing players and developers that want to you just play the game. The endgame content introduced in Reaper of Souls smartly embraced this desire for optimal loot runs with the addition of bounties and rifts, but we will have to see how Bungie handles it as more and more players complete the story and begin the long grind.

Lenovo’s $99 280Hz gaming monitor is built for the ramen-budget crowd
Lenovo is selling a 280Hz monitor for less than GTA 6 Ultimate Edition
Lenovo gaming monitor render

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)

I played Halo: Campaign Evolved, and its cinematics show what a Halo series could’ve been
Halo’s remake looks ready for Hollywood. So where is the show it deserves?
Adult, Male, Man

There is a moment early in Halo: Campaign Evolved where I stopped thinking about the remake as a game for a second. I was watching one of its newly rebuilt cutscenes. Master Chief, Captain Keyes, Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn, and the enormous scale of everything around them suddenly appeared a lot more cinematic than ever before.

I played the original Halo: Combat Evolved in the early 2000s, and in my head, this was exactly how it looked and felt. The first Halo title introduced intergalactic war to me long before Star Wars, and the cinematic tastefully adds enough minor touches that enhance Bungie's original work from decades ago.
