For the past few months, however, Sony’s flagship console, the PlayStation 4 Pro, has been curiously difficult to find. The PlayStation 5 probably isn’t coming for at least three more years, and in the meantime, the PlayStation 4 Pro has definitely not been discontinued. At the time of this writing, only three major retailers, Best Buy, GameStop and Target, had the PlayStation 4 Pro in stock online. If you’ve been trying to buy a PlayStation 4 Pro and have been frustrated by stock issues, we’ve

Take the franchise with the longest dilithium footprint: Star Trek. With a proto-Alexa that could tell you where all your friends were (in the Holodeck — pretending to be Sherlock Holmes!) We all remember the big finish of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, which recreates a WWII dogfight in the trenches of a small moon. The docking of Gemini 8 (the big sequence midway through First Man) encounters an issue with “drag” or suborbital drag, or maybe drift. But from an artistic standpoint, and for

Alden Ehrenreich gave Han Solo a fresh face in this year’s prequel Solo: A Star Wars Story, but many fans missed Harrison Ford’s original take on the iconic character. Of course, Ford’s a bit too old to be playing a young Solo, but thanks to deepfake technology, YouTube channel derpfakes (via io9) gives us glimpse of how Han Solo’s backstory would’ve panned out if Ford played the role back in the ’70s. Derpfakes previously rendered Harrison Ford as Han Solo using footage from the trailer, but no

Taking up the roles of Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird will be Matt Vogel, Spinney’s protege since 1996, who also filled the parts of Kermit the Frog and Count Von Count. The first takes of Big Bird imagined the character as more of a “a funny, dumb country yokel,” but Spinney told the New York Times that he suggested making Big Bird more childlike, so that he could learn along with th

The Stanley Parable can be “finished” in under 30 minutes, but you’ll want to go through the game multiple times to see everything there is to see. The short length of the game does mean, however that many players who bought it on Oct. 17, 2013 — when it launched — and never picked it up again are now eligible for a very special achievement. The achievement is called “Go outside,” and it requires that the player not touch the game for five years. Today is the first day that it is possible to leg

And even when you’re not physically at the office for 60 or 100 hours a week, you’re there psychologically. Recent firings at ArenaNet and Riot Games make it abundantly clear that the studio owns your personality after hours on social media as well. Emotional labor is reinforced even when the industry tries to protect itself from claims of abusive practices. The demand for the emotional labor of employees, combined with a lack of union protection, leads to this culture of disposability. We’ll ge

Truly prolific voice actor Phil LaMarr even showed up to grace us with his versions of “Heroes never die” and “Justice rains from above.”The Overwatch cast has a beautiful history of m
