This month's "Retro Let's Play" for April is Unreal Tournament 2004.
Unreal Tournament 2004 was released a mere 17 months after Unreal Tournament 2003. It was to be a mere upgrade but it came with changes to movement and weapon switching speed. To a twitch fps player, those two becomes hardwired into your brain, so when fundamental things like that change... people get miffed.
As of 2026, Unreal Tournament 2004 remains the highest-rated game in the Unreal series on Metacritic. ut2k4 has all the game modes of its predecessors, but two of the reasons for the success of ut2k4 was the new Onslaught game mode and the sheer volume of user made maps and mods.

The number of written reviews of Intels new CPU launch is a little underwhelming, is this proof reading is a dying art form ?
For those that wont be reading anything except the youTube titles, the TL;DR from this launch is Intel have a pretty good CPU here.
Otherwise, read on to find out just how good and if it's time to throw your Ryzen 9 9950X3D Dual Edition in the bin yet

This weekend is a triple-header for motorsport - F1, MotoGP and World Superbike! Extra large bag of peanut M&M's for me, then. Anyway, the first two of these might be NSFW I guess..
