Two Weeks with the PS5: How Sony Is Adopting the Best Aspects of PC Gaming

Ever since Sony switched away from the Cell processor architecture it used on the PS3 and adopted x86-based chips and AMD GPUs for current-gen consoles, the PS4 (and the Xbox One for that matter) have been viewed by many as dumbed-down PCs.

The Director of Twister Tried to Make a Godzilla Movie Before the 1998 Version

You don’t need to be a Godzilla fan to know Roland Emmerich’s 1998 film is a black mark on the franchise. Besides changing the design of Godzilla, it was just generally a poor movie that got dismissive reviews and barely made back its large budget in the United States. What you probably do have to…

Facebook Removes ‘Stop the Steal,’ a Pro-Trump Group Behind Demonstrations

You’ve probably seen Donald Trump supporters standing in front of ballot-counting facilities demanding that authorities “stop the count,” and you’ve probably seen similar pro-Trump groups in different states demanding that authorities “count every vote!” While it’s only been two days since the election count began, those slogans have already morphed into the more all-encompassing message…
