Razer’s Project Christine Could Revolutionize PC Gaming
I’m going to set aside my fear of naming machinery Christine for a moment to discuss the potentially revolutionary gizmo that Razer recently showed off at CES. Code-named Project Christine, it’s a concept for a modular PC that offers a “revolutionary new concept design that will change the way users view PCs” by removing the barrier of entry that comes with upgrading, customizing, and maintaining one. Buying a high-end PC can be stressful if you aren’t tech-savvy and if you own one fiddling around with it can be risky.
Razer’s goal is to simplify things by offering a PC with a modular design that allows users to install graphics cards, hard drives, disc drives and even touch screens quick and easy. It’s like Legos, only sexier and your work is rewarded with something you can play video games on.
I’d say the only immediate downside to this concept is the possibility that said modules will need to be purchased from Razer. If that isn’t a problem for you, feel free to get familiar with Christine after the break.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
