For those of you who loved 2017’s awesome post-apocalyptic role-playing robot-riding extravaganza Horizon Zero Dawn, actress Janina Gavankar just confirmed that a sequel is in the works. We don’t know any more as yet, but I know I want it now. I want it yesterday. Gavankar — best known as Iden Versio from Star Wars: Battlefront 2‘s story mode — played DLC character Tatai in Horizon Zero Dawn. She has expressed great appreciation for developer Guerrilla Games and was also apparently a fan of the game even before appearing in it. So it’s probably not a surprise that, when an appreciative fan approached…

Highly Recommended is our new series talking about the experience of safely engaging with tech-based entertainment and gadgets while “high.” We hope our frank, open approach to this subject matter will aid in the fight to normalize the legal use of cannabis for recreational and medicinal purposes. Rockstar Games is one of the most recognizable names in the gaming industry. Its franchises — including Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto — are basically licenses to print money for the company. For some reason, people can’t get enough of them — that reason is, often, probably cannabis. It’s a safe…

It was only a few years ago that Anker started making premium audio gear, through its Soundcore sub-brand. Even though it doesn’t exactly have much of a historical pedigree, it’s managed to impress through worthwhile products like the Soundcore Space NC. One interesting product in its line-up is the Soundcore Life NC. These neckband earbuds come equipped with active noise cancellation (ANC) technology, which can absorb external noise that would otherwise interrupt the listening experience. This makes them perfect for listening to music on a flight or catching up on podcasts when crunching weights at the gym. Battery life is…

Earlier this week, Sony finally rolled out the name change option for PlayStation Network users. And gamers who are rushing to change the problematic name they once thought was funny might discover that Sony’s taking the liberty of doing it for them. An FAQ on the PlayStation site, spotted by Gamasutra, details exactly how this enforced cleanliness will happen. If you attempt to change your PSN name to something another player has reported as offensive, then you’ll be given a name that’s “TempXXXX” (with the Xs being numbers) and allowed to revert to your previous name at no charge. So far, so fair. But if…

Umm, how did a fly get into this ‘weather-sealed’ camera lens?

Weather-sealed camera lenses let you shoot in the rain, in the snow, at the beach, in a desert, and all sorts of situations that might otherwise make you think twice about bringing your gear. They’re sealed against the elements, so though it’s not uncommon to find some specs of dust here and there, that’s usually as bad as it gets… which is why I’d really like to know: how did a whole fly got into one? Roger Cicala from the aptly named Lensrentals.com penned a blog post detailing the process of removing said fly from a Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS II lens.…
