On Thursday afternoon, many people with smart home setups connected to Google Home / Nest, or who are trying to stream music on Spotify, started coming up empty. All I got when I tried to open the Spotify website was a message that says “Audiences in Jwt are not allowed,” and opening the app also […]
And for its next trick, DC Studios is expanding its new cinematic universe with a series focused on Mister Miracle. During its presentation at this year’s Annecy Film Festival, DC studios announced it is producing an adult animated Mister Miracle series that will be showrun and executive produced by comics writer Tom King.

I love finding deals on devices that pull double duty, as it feels like it’s stretching my dollar even further. That’s why Google’s discounted TV Streamer (4K) caught my attention this week.

Get ready for more Silent Hill. As part of its Press Start online presentation on Thursday, Konami announced that it’s remaking the original Silent Hill in partnership with Bloober Team, the studio that developed last year’s well-received Silent Hill 2 remake.

The iPad Mini is no longer the biggest tablet you can fit into a mobile gaming controller (without breaking it a little). Razer’s new $199.99 Kishi V3 Pro XL can accommodate a 13-inch iPad or Android tablet that uses a USB-C connector. It’s like Razer’s 2013 Edge, in spirit at least. My 10.9-inch iPad Air […]
Tubi‘s next move to expand its streaming catalog sounds like a win for the indie movie set. Today, Tubi (which is owned by Fox) announced that it is partnering with Kickstarter to distribute a number of films funded on the crowdfunding platform. Beginning this fall, more than 20 movies “that uniquely resonate with Tubi fandoms” […]
Rolling across rugged alien wilds, your circular base in The Alters offers a twinkling haven from the whipping winds and nauseating radiation. At least, that’s how it feels for the first few hours.
