A sound once synonymous with the internet—a screeching, crunching melody of beeps and static—will soon fade into silence. AOL, the company that brought millions online with its dial-up service, is discontinuing this relic of the digital age on September 30, 2025. Along with it, the AOL Dialer software and AOL Shield browser, designed for slower connections and older systems, will also disappear.

Bethesda Heretic+ Hexen Re-Release
In 1994, Heretic broke new ground in the first-person shooter genre, combining fast-paced action with dark fantasy and light RPG elements.

Bethesda and Nightdive Studios have now recreated these classics, improving on the originals while introducing new content and current themes. The Heretic + Hexen package, which is available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Game Pass, is a nostalgic delight with enough new elements to appeal to both old and new gamers.
