Get 32GB of Crucial Pro RAM for less than £50 this Black Friday weekend

RAM is rarely the first consideration when upgrading a PC, as it has a much smaller impact on performance compared to a better processor or a spanking new GPU. But you also won’t get without far it, and we are slowly heading toward the point where more RAM is preferable. This year brought a scare when Star Wars: Jedi Survivor seemingly needed a minimum 32GB of RAM. Luckily that turned out to be an error in the system requirements, but as the size and detail of video game worlds exerts greater demand on load times, RAM will become more important. And if you want to get ahead of the game(s), you can get 32GB of rock solid ram for less than £50 this Black Friday weekend.

Get ViewSonic’s 180hz Omni gaming monitors for less this Black Friday

Here’s an unusual proposition this Black Friday, we’ve got two gaming monitors on offer for you to choose from. Ok, it’s not that unusual. In fact, it’s pretty standard for an event all about buying cheap kit. But they are very similar monitors, which makes deciding between them more interesting. I’m referring to the ViewSonic Omni VX2428J and VX2728J.

NZXT’s Black Friday sale cuts up to 50% off their hot-swappable Function keyboards

I really liked the NZXT Function keyboards when they launched last year, and I still do today: all three are cleanly-designed and responsive gaming keyboards, and their hot-swappable mechanical switches make it a doddle to customise the under-the-finger feel. And speaking of today, it happens to be Black Friday, so we can add “up to 50% off” to their list of qualities.

Go ultrawide on a budget with £170 / $150 off the HP Omen 34c monitor this Black Friday

Ultrawide gaming monitors are good for two things: juggling the exploded mosaic of Chrome windows that it takes to be a hardware editor on Black Friday, and making your games look cooler. I’m too busy with the first to do much of the second right now, but you can get into ultrawide gaming for a relative pittance thanks to these Black Friday deals on the HP Omen 34c.

The Electronic Wireless Show S2 Episode 39: GTA 6 predictions feat. Dracula boat

This week on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast we talk all things GTAVI augury, what with the community going bananas for secret GTAVI clues, and Rockstar finally announcing that they’ll have a trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto arriving in December. Our predictions are in fact not as outlandish as you might think, although there are gorillas, obviously.

Alongside this we talk about the games we’re playing right now (largely Darktide, it turns out), and dish up some recommendations. We also spent like a third of our recording time playing a deranged Age Of Empires 2-themed RPG using an abbreviated D20 system of Nate’s devising, but don’t worry, I edited it down quite a lot. Apologies for my poor mic quality!

You can listen above, or on on Spotify, iTunes, Stitcher, or Pocket Casts. You can find the RSS feed here, and you can discuss the episode on our Discord channel, which has a dedicated room for podcast chat.
