Samurai sword-fighting has never been prettier.
What is Ghost of Tsushima?
We didn’t know much about Ghost of Tsushima when Sucker Punch (makers of Infamous) originally announced it at 2017’s Paris Games Week. That changed as of E3 2018, with the company giving us more details and even a first look at gameplay for the upcoming game.
What we can say for certain is that it’s an open world samurai game. As you’d expect from that description, [Read More…]
It’s more shows and movies, only with advertising.
Amazon has teamed up with IMDB (insofar as Amazon, which owns IMDB, probably said “Hey, IMDB! We’re going to do a thing) to bring free movies to the Internet Movie Database.

You’ll also get the visualizations that go with them — those flowing gradients of soft, muted colors that show up on the display of a Pixel when, say, your alarm goes off [Read More…]
Robotic vacuums aren’t necessary, but damn are they fun to have.
I’ve never minded vacuuming as a regular chore around the house, but when my fiancé and I moved into a bigger apartment earlier this year, I decided it was time to pick up a robotic vacuum to finally see what all the hype was about.
