Lord of the Rings: Gollum dev issues statement apologizing for game

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum launched on Friday to broadly negative reviews, claiming that the game is buggy and isn't a lot of fun. Brutally, our pals at GamesRadar describe it as "not so much an unexpected journey as it is one to avoid altogether." 

TRG was left on read when we tried to get code for the game ourselves. 

Amidst this launch, developer Daedalic Entertainment has taken to Twitter to apologize for the game, claiming that the those at the studio "deeply regret that the game did not meet the expectations we set for ourselves or for our dedicated community."

Daedalic Entertainment has committed to improving the game, and has thanked players for their criticism, suggesting: "We understand that a game’s success relies on the enjoyment and satisfaction of its players. We genuinely value your feedback and have been actively listening to your voices, reading your comments, and analyzing the constructive criticism and suggestions you have provided.

"Our development team has been working diligently to address the bugs and technical issues many of you experienced. We are committed to providing you with patches that will allow you to enjoy the game to its fullest potential.

"Once again, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we appreciate your understanding during this time.

"We will continue to keep you updated on our progress and provide transparent communication regarding the upcoming patches and improvements. Your passion and dedication as players have been the driving force behind our determination to make things right."

The statement seems to have its own share of bugs too, describing the game in the very first line as The Lord of Ring: Gollum. 

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is currently selling for £42.99 on Steam. You can buy an emote pack for £1.99 that gives Gollum six new emotes including the ability to say his catchphrase "my precious," while the Sindarin VO pack (another £1.99) will allow the Elves in the game to speak with the Elvish tongue Sindarin in their voiceover.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
