The video game industry suffered serious whiplash from the impact of COVID-19. Hardware and software sales skyrocketed in 2020 as people were stuck inside their homes with little else to do. But those same lockdowns hobbled the development of upcoming games, resulting in a barren slate over the last two years. There was a serious

As we get nearer to Christmas Day, it’s only going to get harder and harder to find gifts you can get delivered in time. We’ve already passed the shipping deadline for several online retailers and if you’re against going to an actual store to shop you may be feeling a bit hopeless. However, there are
America and Canada are (mostly) peaceful neighbors, but it seems that their two avian symbols don’t get along. Recently, security cameras at Grant Public Utility District in Washington state captured a majestic bald eagle flying into view … with a hapless Canada goose clutched in its talons. “This is something you don’t see every day,”
Paramount / XboxRecent video game adaptations, like Resident Evil on Netflix and Halo on Paramount+, have been heavily criticized online by fans for veering too far from the original source material the shows are supposedly inspired by. And while I do hesitate to agree with angry fans online and I think adaptations should be allowed

Two things here. Firstly, I’m sorry Danny, but as a long-time enjoyer of the “dudes getting hurt real bad” genre of physical comedy, this is—within video game circles, at least—an all-timer. It’s like a modern recreation of Will Ferrel’s “I’m Very Badly Hurt” bit from Austin Powers, only with a Call of Duty twist: austin
Although this manga has been on hiatus for a spell due to its mangaka’s health, RuriDragon quickly had me captivated by its bizarrely wholesome story about a high school girl coming into her own. One day Ruri wakes up to discover tiny horns on her forehead. Perplexed, she asks her mom what the deal is,
Just so we’re clear, the fact that I’m recommending a movie doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “good.” At least, not in the traditional sense. G/O Media may get a commission Advertisement Case in point is Jack Frost, a movie in which Michael Keaton turns into a snowman. This is not a “good” movie, but it will
Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter sent Tesla’s stock price on a roller coaster this year as its value correlated — largely negatively — with each development at the social media company. But SpaceX’s support from investors seems immune to the drama. Back in April, when Musk first announced his intention to acquire Twitter, it was

Solid Power, one of the leaders in the race to commercialize all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, has been stumbling of late. But a new deal with BMW might give it the boost it needs. After going public via SPAC in late 2021, Solid Power’s share price followed the all-too-familiar SPAC bump then bust, trading for much of
About 100 years ago — or that’s how long it feels — we were all together, playing Wordle. Well, we weren’t technically together. We were in sunny places, snowy places, various countries, commuting, staying at home. We were together, though. In a sense. And we weren’t screaming. Little score grids popping up everywhere, instead of
Shagun Malhotra Contributor A CPA, CIA, and an experienced auditor and process consultant, Shagun started her career in public accounting.

Willow is bringing old-school fantasy action to Disney Plus, with new episodes hitting the streaming service each week. The series follows on from the events of the 1988 movie, with lead actor Warwick Davis (best known for his many Star Wars roles) returning as the titular character. “Whether you’re a fan of the ’80s movie
James Cameron has a score to settle, and he’s using science to do it. The Oscar-winning director has spent the last 25 years hearing speculation about whether there was room for Jack on Rose’s makeshift raft in the 1997 movie Titanic. In other words, Leo died and the internet still isn’t over it. In an
Isn’t it wonderful that there are researchers out there whose job is quite simply to make a robotic bird? That’s certainly the goal of this lab, whose flapping-wing drone, or ornithopter, has now been equipped with a grasping claw to let it take a rest on a nearby branch or perhaps even a finger —

Nintendo / WayForward / Arc System WorksMuch of my enjoyment with the earlier levels of RCG2 is how it narratively writes around the trope of video games stripping its heroes of all the awesome power-ups and moves they had in previous games. What incites their adventure isn’t a heroic calling to save their town from
In August, Drop announced its first new in-house mechanical keyboard in quite a while: the 75% Drop Sense75. On paper, the $349 gasket-mount keyboard looked like a winner, with an understated but classy design, Drop’s DCX keycaps, in-house stabilizers and its Holy Panda X tactile switches. The final result is a bit of a disappointment,
Amid 2021’s record-breaking funding activity, it wasn’t uncommon to see startups raise rounds composed of numerous small checks from a large number of firms and angel investors. But now that said companies are looking to raise extension financing, they’re realizing that more investors doesn’t always mean more future money. Last year, FOMO was running high,
Advertisement On the Arceus side, the game’s open world often looked empty and flat. On the Scarlet and Violet side, framerate drops, constant pop-in of objects, and rogue glitches held back an otherwise ambitious new blueprint for the future of the mainline Pokémon games. It’s hard to know how much these shortcomings are due to
Sony isn’t really hiding that, at least. In its hands-on preview, The Verge notes that PlayStation spokesperson Ken Zhang said the new DualSense will have a “moderately shorter” operating time than the original PS5 controller, which has between five and 10 hours of charge.

Star Wars: Convergence brought us into a new era of a galaxy far, far away last month. It’s the first adult novel in the High Republic era’s Phase 2, which takes place 350 years before the Skywalker Saga. Gella Nattai proves a compelling protagonist, but not all of Star Wars: Convergence’s characters are as strong

Sounds of Mars: NASA’s InSight Senses Martian WindSo yeah, nice robot! But like any robot sent into space, InSight is running on a battery, and while solar panels and judicious use of its systems have helped prologue its life, the time is fast approaching where it runs out of juice for good and is forced
Before hitting play on 2019’s Synchronic, there’s one thing you should know. It’s not that it’s a low-budget sci-fi film with an intriguing premise. It’s not that it stars Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan as best friends. It’s not that its directors directed a couple of episodes of Marvel’s Moon Knight. It’s that Synchronic will really, really
The Force Engine Version 1 TrailerTo get more specific, The Force Engine lets us play the same old Dark Forces but with loads of modern improvements and touches, like proper widescreen support, higher resolutions and, most excitedly, full mouselook support (the original, like Doom, locked the players movements to the X and Y axis).
