When it was done, I invited X-Men B-lister Magik to throw on a swimsuit and hang out by the pool, where we talked about all the juicy drama among our superhero housemates. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is one of the less conventional superhero games we’ve had in a while, and developer Firaxis Games’ gamble pays off. Half deckbuilding strategy/RPG and half superhero social sim, Midnight Suns represents a take on the well-worn genre that we’ve never seen before....

A new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra leak has revealed the specs, new renders and the materials. And apparently his flagship phone is going to be made of strong stuff, according to the latest rumors on the upcoming flagship phone, published by MySmartPrice (opens in new tab) with help from leaker Ishan Agarwal (opens in new tab). We’ve already heard about the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s new Galaxy Note-style shape and built-in S Pen, but Samsung’s changing the materials up as well....

We rank the Apple MacBook Air M1 as one of the best laptops you can buy right now. The addition of Apple’s own M1 chip was a real game-changer, improving performance across the board. Plus, this super-charged laptop still comes in a thin, light and ultra-portable package as you’d expect from a MacBook. In our Editor’s Choice review, we were most impressed with its remarkably fast performance, strong legacy app support, lengthy 14-hour battery life, comfy magic keyboard and exceptional HD webcam....

The Meta Quest 3 could come with a big boost in graphics power over its predecessor the Meta Quest 2, thus rendering virtual worlds a whole lot more realistic. That’s according to YouTuber SadlyItsBradley (opens in new tab) who claims to have leaked knowledge that the Meta Quest 3 will have twice the GPU of its predecessor. Now here comes the technical info, ready? Meta has been working closely with mobile chip specialist Qualcomm to improve on its first-generation Snapdragon XR2 chips, currently found in the Quest 2....

We expect to see the reveal of the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 and the Surface Laptop 5, and potentially a suite of other Surface devices. While we can’t say for sure until we tune in to the livestream, here’s what we expect Microsoft to show off during its big Fall 2022 event. How to watch the Microsoft Fall 2022 event The event will be broadcast live via Microsoft’s event website (opens in new tab) on October 12....

There are a lot of chess-pieces on the board for the annual game. The Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, having reached a contract agreement last month, looks to put that talk behind him by helping the AL take it this year. Oh, and have you heard about what happens if the All-Star Game is tied up after nine innings? Then, we get a mini derby, as you’d see see three players from each league go to bat, each taking three swings, to decide the final result....

Currently at Verizon, you can get an iPhone 13 for free (opens in new tab) when you trade-in your old device and open a new line with unlimited data. That’s one of the best iPhone 13 deals we’ve seen. If you don’t have an old phone to trade in, Verizon is also offering a free iPhone SE 2022 (opens in new tab) when you open a new line with select unlimited data plan....

Initially, the Razr 2022 was supposed to be unveiled on August 2, beating the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 by a week. Then that launch event was abruptly canceled with essentially no explanation. But now it’s finally here — and it looks pretty good. The specs are also promising, with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 powering the Fold 4 and Flip 4....

The Ultimatum comes from the same creative team behind Love is Blind and will also be hosted by married presenters Vanessa and Nick Lachey. The new dating show is hitting Netflix next month and reality bingers better mark their calendars because everything about The Ultimatum screams nonstop drama. The show’s core premise isn’t quite as straightforward as the likes of Love is Blind, The Bachelor or Love Island, but it certainly sounds like a format scientifically designed to create intense fights and lots (and lots) of tears....

As reported by Cybernews (opens in new tab), someone is selling a 2022 database of 487 million WhatsApp mobile numbers. This includes accounts from 84 countries like the US, UK, Russia, Egypt and many others. There are apparently 32 million US records included as well as 11 million from the UK. WhatsApp has around two billion monthly active users worldwide and this leak puts nearly half a billion users at risk....

The canceled show in question is called Q-Force, an adult animated comedy that hit Netflix back in September 2021. The show’s first 10 episodes dropped concurrently, and What’s On Netflix (opens in new tab) discovered that these episodes will comprise the show’s complete run. Q-Force’s fate has actually been known for a while now. Matt Rogers, one of the show’s writers and voice actors, revealed that “it did not get a second season” on the Attitudes!...

The big-budget movie was released last Friday (July 22) and stormed straight to the top of the Netflix most-watched list. The Gray Man has ranked No. 1 for the last couple of days and its position at the summit of the list is unlikely to be challenged for a while yet. Its success has led Netflix to order The Gray Man 2 and a separate spinoff. However, it’s not all been smooth sailing for The Gray Man with the film dividing critics and viewers....

The show in question is Keep Breathing, a Netflix Original limited series that arrived on the streaming service at the end of last week (July 28) and which has quickly replaced Virgin River S5 at the top of the charts. On the face of it, it sounds like a winner: a hotshot young lawyer is stranded in the Canadian wilderness and has to survive using only her wits. But the reality is… well, let’s just say that reviews haven’t been that kind....

The problem is thus far uptake of these games has been less than stellar, and it would seem that the vast majority of Netflix users would rather stream movies and TV shows than play games. CNBC (opens in new tab)reports (using data from Apptopia) that on average Netflix games attract 1.7 million players per day. That means that less than 1% of the streamer’s 221 million subscribers are currently playing games on the service....

Deep Space Nine first hit Netflix back in 2011, when Netflix acquired the rights to all five live-action Star Trek shows that existed at the time. But that era is now coming to an end, and the last day U.S. viewers will be able to watch Deep Space Nine on Netflix is June 30. Deep Space Nine was something of a departure for the Star Trek franchise. The show was controversial at the time, given its focus on a much bleaker version of the future than had been seen in previous series....

Last week, Kuo claimed that the Mac mini 2022 would actually slip into 2023, setting him directly against other recent reports, as well as the long-held predictions of reliable tipsters such as Mark Gurman. Now Kuo is back with another prediction that goes against the grain. “I think the new Mac mini in 2023 will likely remain the same form factor design,” he tweeted (opens in new tab). Using a Mac VPN can keep you safe and access more streaming content...

The Times has largely left unofficial Wordle sites alone since buying the game for a reported six-figure sum last month, but as spotted by Ars Technica, (opens in new tab) it’s now requested that the Wordle Archive (opens in new tab) run by Metzger Media be closed down. Now, instead of a Wordle grid, the archive’s website features a message confirming the Times shut them down. “Sadly, the New York Times has requested that the Wordle Archive be taken down,” the message reads....

New Zealand had looked likely to make it deep into the tournament from their opening match of the Super 12 section, in which they beat hosts Australia. After their fixture against Afghanistan was abandoned, Kane Williamson’s side went on to beat Sri Lanka and Ireland, with their only defeat coming against England. Progress was not so straightforward for Pakistan. They lost in dramatic fashion to India in their first match of the tournament and followed up with a shock 1-run defeat to Zimbabwe....

While we’ve known for some time that the Oculus Quest brand would be phased out for Meta Quest, it’s still surprising to see it actually take shape. The official Oculus Quest Twitter page has been renamed to MetaQuestVR (opens in new tab). Unfortunately, Meta was unable to take @MetaQuest as that’s currently owned by someone else. We assume that person did not want to sell their Twitter handle unless they received a large sum of money....
