Why play a virtual dice game when you can play it in real life?

What you need to know


Assassin's Creed Valhalla features several mini-games, one of which is Orlog.
Orlog is a dice game where players roll dice to attack and defend from their opponent.
It became so popular that Orlog is getting a physical version in 2021.


Spend too much time in Assassin's Creed Valhalla and you may get tired of bludgeoning your enemies to death. No? Well bear with me. Should you do ever tire of this, Valhalla has several mini-games to partake in, one of which has captured a lot more attention than others: Orlog. The dice game has become so popular that a physical version is coming in 2021 (via Eurogamer).

Not many details are known at this point, but it appears that Ubisoft has partnered with PureArts to publish the physical version sometime next year. PureArts is known for making pop culture and gaming collectibles, so this is right up the company's alley.

All the best and brightest games coming to Xbox consoles.

The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are here, launched in late 2020 to much praise. One universal question mark hangs over the games line-up, which hasn't exactly been stellar. Still, there are plenty of games worthy of being in our round-up of best Xbox One games and best Xbox Series X, Series S games that launched towards the end of 2020, and hopefully, even more so in 2021 and beyond.

When you look at Microsoft's purchase of Zenimax, and the announced games from both first and third party, the landscape becomes quite impressive, and all the more exciting.

A once-great extension is now accused of containing malware.



What you need to know


Microsoft Edge now warns that "The Great Suspender" extension contains malware.
The Great Suspender was recently sold to a new owner.
Microsoft Edge has a similar feature that can be enabled through edge://flags.


I've used "The Great Suspender" extension on Microsoft Edge for quite some time. The extension puts tabs to sleep after a specified amount of time to free up RAM and system resources. But this morning, when catching up on the news from over the weekend, I saw a strange warning sign. Now, Microsoft Edge suspends The Great Suspender and warns that the extension contains malware.

The Great Suspender has been a trusty companion to my browsing for some time and never caused any issues, so I was confused by the warning. It turns out that the extension was sold to an unnamed third party earlier this year and has since been accused of containing malware.
