After more than a decade of planning, arguably the most controversial World Cup in history (opens in new tab) has arrived. It’ll be host nation Qatar that gets the tournament underway, and they’ll be looking to make a splash on home soil. Qatar does have some international tournament pedigree. They were winners of the Asian Cup 2019 and semi-finals in the 2021 Gold Cup. Not to mention its domestic league has been paused since mid-September which has given the majority of its squad more preparation than most....

Right now, a 12-month PlayStation Plus Essential subscription is on sale for $29 on the PlayStation Store (opens in new tab). That’s $30 off its usual price of $59. This half-off deal drops a subscription down to its lowest price of the year. For now, this discount appears to only apply to the Essential tier, but it could be rolled out for Extra and Premium memberships in the coming days....

This information comes from Twitter deal-hunter Wario64 (opens in new tab), who posted images of the bundle on his account. The pitch is straightforward enough. Sony will be selling the PlayStation 5 Console — Horizon Forbidden West Bundle through its PS Direct program. For those who haven’t tried PS Direct before, it’s essentially a way for you to buy PS5 consoles directly from Sony by adding yourself to an e-mail waiting list....

At a staggering $250, there’s no getting around the fact that the DeathStalker V2 Pro isn’t for everyone. And, at that price, the keyboard really should have included a wrist rest, as its low-profile design can be a little tough on the wrists. Otherwise, though, it’s hard to pinpoint any major shortcomings in the device. The DeathStalker V2 Pro is arguably one of the best gaming keyboards you can buy, provided you’re willing to pay the high (possibly exorbitant) price of admission....

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (from $1,299) is still the phone to get if you want a handset with a stylus, especially since Samsung has confirmed that a Galaxy Note 21 isn’t happening. So is the Note 20 Ultra worth the ultra-premium price? After thoroughly testing this big-screen phone, my previous answer was yes. However, most should wait for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, which is rumored to include a built-in stylus and could be a proper replacement for the Galaxy Note....

The Samsung Galaxy S22 will aim to hold onto Samsung’s spot near the top of our our best Android phones list, with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in particular sounding like the phone to get based on current rumors. Another new leak about the S22 Ultra gives us a new reason to anticipate that particular model. According to Samsung leaker Zaryab Khan, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be getting a major S Pen upgrade, one that could beat the Apple Pencil on the 2021 iPad Pro....

Right now, Samsung is offering the Galaxy Z Fold 4 for $619 (opens in new tab) with trade-in, which is $1,300 off its regular price. Samsung’s best offer covers the 512GB version of the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which normally commands the tidy sum of $1,919. (If you don’t have a phone to trade-in, you can still shave $400 to $500 off the cost of the phone, depending on whether you get the phone unlocked or through a specific carrier....

South Africa had their African derby with Zimbabwe curtailed and then abandoned due to the weather, with the sides sharing the points. It means that we have not really seen much of the Proteas, save for some devasting batting from Quinton de Kock who managed to get 47 runs off just 18 balls in a desperate bid to score quickly. Bangladesh got their Super 12 campaign off to a decent start, beating the Netherlands by 9 runs....

Say what you will about how the Epic Games Store compares to Steam, but it’s hard to beat getting a new free game to play every week. Last week, Epic Games gave us Maneater. But if causing maximum destruction as a shark wasn’t for you, now it’s time for something different. The first-person puzzle game Supraland is available to download for free on the Epic Games Store this week. If you add it to your collection, you’ll own it permanently, and can play it whenever you want....

While these two TVs are only one number apart from one another, there’s a significant difference in price, performance and feature set between them. And while it’s tempting to just pick the less expensive of the two (the 5-Series) you could be missing out on key features that would’ve made movie night that much better. Whether you’re a gamer looking for the best gaming TV, or a binge-watcher looking for a TV with Dolby Vision and Atmos support, the 5-Series and 6-Series have what you’re looking for…just to varying degrees....

If the rumors are to be true, the Tesla Cybertruck won’t be arriving for at least a year. But that doesn’t mean we have to be kept in the dark about what’s going on; quite the opposite, in fact, and this new batch of leaked images proves it. The photos were posted to the Cybertruck Owners’ Club forum (opens in new tab), and show off a number of changes compared to the model Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled in 2019....

If I had watched The Batman at home (which isn’t an option until The Batman’s HBO Max release date of April 18, anyway) I would’ve fallen asleep before the first Bat-Signal. Much of what made the film interesting relied on the masterful shadows of a high-resolution picture and seat-shaking surround sound. In case you’ll actually take my advice and go see The Batman on the big screen, I’ll avoid plot spoilers....

I can see the question being asked by friends and family coming from a mile away, even though the iPhone SE 2022 isn’t on sale yet. “What’s the best cheap iPhone?” The easy answer would be the new iPhone SE 2022. After all, it gives you a fast A15 Bionic chip, 5G connectivity and numerous camera enhancements for a reasonable $429. Yes, that’s $30 more than the previous iPhone SE 2020, but I think it’s a reasonable price bump given the upgrades....

Luckily, finding the best gaming mouse pad for your setup is a pretty simple process. You simply need to ask yourself a few questions: “How big of a mouse pad do I want?” “How much do I want to spend?” “Would I like a hard or soft surface?” “Do I need any extra bells and whistles?” Once you determine those things, picking the best mouse pad just about takes care of itself....

The Switch provides access to some of the most popular multiplayer games in the world, such as exclusives like Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, or cross-platform giants like Fortnite or Rocket League.

These titles offer just as much fun in fresh and innovative ways, and for a smaller price tag too....

A good webcam’s image sensor is much larger than the camera built into your laptop. As such, it will pick up features better, even in lower light. Most webcams also have a higher resolution than most laptops, so you’ll get a lot more detail, too. Thankfully, many of the best webcams are very affordable, and even the top-end models (some of which have built-in lights and can stream in 4K) are usually no more than $200....

However, the thing which has stuck with me since watching the latest season isn’t one I expected. While the storyline didn’t fail to impress and the characters and attention to detail still leave me wanting more, this latest season provided something completely different. Something which no other Netflix series has managed before. Spoiler warning: Before I go on, bear in mind that I will be mentioning some specific scenes from Stranger Things 4....
