It’s been quite some time since SEGA stopped building video game hardware, with the Dreamcast being the last in the line. However, the Japanese video game company recently flexed its console-building prowess through a sleek machine dubbed “the World’s Fastest PC.” Made in conjunction with Intel and ASRock, the unit features top-of-the-line PC components, including a Core i9-12900K processor and ASRock Z690M-ITX/ax motherboard, along with 32 gigabytes of RAM and 2TB SSD. As a cheeky nod, SEGA attached the unit on wheels and zipped the machine across Chiba Prefecture’s Mobara Twin Circuit. The PC was made to mark SEGA’s Steam Winter Sale, which will end on January 5. To enter for a chance to win the unit, you must be a resident of Japan, follow SEGA Official on Twitter, along with retweeting...

Logan Paul recently announced that he spent $3.5 million USD on a box of first-edition Base Set Pokémon cards, but now it seems that the collection could possibly be fake. Over at PokeBeach, the Pokémon TCG fansite compiled a whole roster of evidence showing numerous inconsistencies and issues with the box of cards Paul purchased, suggesting that the YouTube personality could’ve fallen victim to an elaborate scam. The cards first surfaced on Canada’s eBay back in March 2021 but the post was full of errors, and the seller (named number1pokemonmaster) gave a series of contradicting accounts of how he came to actually acquire or own the collection. From there, the box set sold for a mere $72,500 USD, whereas usual sealed cases would go for hundreds of thousands, suggesting that other col...

Halo Infinite fans have now discovered an unfinished cutscene in the game originally intended to play in the middle of the end credits that could potentially set up a prequel. Featured above, the short clip shows Master Chief‘s new companion Esperanza picking up a signal on his ship and alerting the Spartan of it. While we only find out that it’s a friendly UNSC tag that was detected, the cutscene has already fueled widespread speculation online within the Halo community, with some suggesting that it could be from a character that wasn’t in the main Halo Infinite campaign, such as Spartan Locke or Commander Palmer. Others also point out it could be a lead-up to a co-op campaign experience for an expansion or sequel. For now, 343 Industries hasn’t addressed why the cutscene was re...
