Watch us play ‘Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire’ at 3 p.m Pacific

By Matthew S. Smith Published September 27, 2017

Guild Wars 2, the MMO from Arena.net, launched its second major expansion, Path of Fire, on September 22. It includes a major expansion to the game’s zones, and new campaign story, new mastery points for end-game character progression and, for the first time in the game’s history, mounts.

Mounts might seem like old news, given that almost every MMO has them, but Arena.net had very specific goals when it implemented them in Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire. There are several different types of mounts, and each of them have a different, unique set of abilities.

Don’t just take our word for it, though. Come check out our livestream of the game at 3 p.m. Pacific, 6 p.m. Eastern. We’ll be looking into the new expansion, as well as talking about how it stacks up to other major, recent MMO expansions, such as Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: Legion, and Final Fantasy 14.

AMD’s RDNA 4 may surprise us in more ways than one

AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

Thanks to all the leaks, I thought I knew what to expect with AMD's upcoming RDNA 4. It turns out I may have been wrong on more than one account.

The latest leaks reveal that AMD's upcoming best graphics card may not be called the RX 8800 XT, as most leakers predicted, but will instead be referred to as the RX 9070 XT. In addition, the first leaked benchmark of the GPU gives us a glimpse into the kind of performance we can expect, which could turn out to be a bit of a letdown.

This futuristic mechanical keyboard will set you back an eye-watering $1,600

Hands typing on The Icebreaker keyboard.

I've complained plenty about how some of the best gaming keyboards are too expensive, from the Razer Black Widow V4 75% to the Wooting 80HE, but nothing comes remotely close to The Icebreaker. Announced nearly a year ago by Serene Industries, The Icebreaker is unlike any keyboard I've ever seen -- and it's priced accordingly at $1,600. Plus shipping, of course.

What could justify such an extravagant price? Aluminum, it turns out. The keyboard is constructed of one single block of 6061 aluminum in what Serene Industries calls an "unorthodox wedge form." As if that wasn't enough metal, the keycaps are also made of aluminum, and Serene says they include "about 800" micro-perforations that allow the LED backlight of the keyboard to shine through.

Google one-ups Microsoft by making chats easier to transfer

Google Spaces in Google Chat on a MacBook.

In a recent blog post, Google announced that it is making it easier for admins to migrate from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat to reduce downtime. Admins can easily do this within the Google Chat migration menu and connect to opposing Microsoft accounts to transfer Teams data.

Google gave step-by-step instructions for admins on how to transfer the messages. Admins need to connect to their Microsoft account and upload a CSV of the Teams from where they transfer the messages. From there, it requires just entering a starting date for messages to be migrated from Teams and clicking Star migration. Once it's complete, it'll make the migrated space, messages, and conversation data available to Google Workspace users.
