Moderated by Overclocking.TV's Isa&iuml;e "Trouffman" Simonnet with special guests Joe Gialanella from ModMyMods, Eric "hobbseltoff" Hobbs from PC Modding Enthusiast, and Justin "Robeytech" Robey, these four experts took us through the history of PC modding over the last 15 years, the highs and lows of some of their very own builds, and what lies in store for PC modding going forward. It was a fascinating panel, and we caught up with Simonnet afterwards to try and recapture some of that excellent hardware chat for you folks at home. <br>To view this article you&#39;ll need to have a Premium subscription.

After joining the team in 2017, she spent a lot of time in the RPS hardware mines, testing all the bits that go inside our PCs, but now she gets to write about all the lovely games we play on them, too. She'll play pretty much anything she can get her hands on, and is very partial to JRPGs and the fetching of quests.         <br> <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-saturday-daily-round-up" >  RPS@PAX 2022: Saturday daily round-up </a>          <br>Indie games galore, and hanging out with Skyrim Grandma<br>       <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-saturday-daily-round-up#comments">     4       </a>   <br> <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-mcpixel-3" >  RPS@PAX 2022: McPixel 3 is back and just as daft as ever </a>          <br>&#34;We don&#39;t talk about McPixel 2,&#34; says dev<br>       <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-mcpixel-3#comments">     2       </a>   <br> <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-friday-daily-round-up" >  RPS@PAX 2022: Friday daily round-up </a>          <br>Games!
