Whenever I board a passenger jet to go somewhere, my stomach sinks and my brain says, “Well, I guess you’re gonna die now.” But the thought of flying is still magical to me. Whether it’s fighter jets in Ace Combat 7 or TIE Interceptors in Star Wars: Squadrons, the idea of a hunk of metal flying through the air (or space) is an exciting, fantastical idea. Flight is very real, of course, even if a lot of science behind it can initially seem unreal. With the return of Microsoft Flight Simulator, a game that is built to mimic reality as best as current technology will allow it, I can wield that magic for myself, operating and flying a plane with the understanding that the actions I’m performing have a strong basis in real life. It is terrifying. And it is absolutely phenomenal.
Netflix’s The Witcher is returning for its second season in December, and now we’ve learned that it will kick off with an adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s short story, A Grain of Truth. In a new video from Netflix Geeked, showrunner Lauren H. Hissrich acknowledged that it’s been the “worst kept secret that we’ve had,” which is surely a reference to how Netflix has been teasing some kind of reveal for A Grain of Truth for a long time already.
But now it’s confirmed: Season 2 will kick off with A Grain of Truth, and Hissrich said she’s especially pleased to be able to do this because she wasn’t sure if they would get to work on more short story adaptations on the show. The episode features Geralt, Ciri, and Nivellen, who is new to the series and will be played by Kristofer Hivju fr…
Arcade1Up is adding to its lineup of legacy cabinets with a new machine featuring 12 games from Midway’s heyday. The Midway Legacy Edition arcade cabinet was revealed alongside the first trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie. Arcade1Up already revealed three legacy cabinets at CES earlier this year–Capcom, Bandai Namco, and Atari–each of which also have 12 games.
The Midway Legacy Edition doesn’t have a release date or price just yet, but you can sign up on the company’s website to receive notifications on availability. The Bandai Namco cabinet is up for preorder for $400, so that probably gives you an idea of what to expect with the Midway model.

Since first arriving on the scene back in 2022, Starforge Systems has a reputation for great pre-built gaming PCs, but it’s really outdone itself with its new limited-edition Smite rig. Featuring impressive specs, a highly detailed Smite-themed case, and swappable acrylic panels that can showcase one of six iconic gods making a reappearance in this year’s Smite 2, this PC is one hell of a beautiful powerhouse.Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is less than a day away, and the campaign has been receiving poor reviews from various outlets. According to a new report, that may be due in part to the campaign having been developed in far less time than a usual Call of Duty single-player story mode.
According to a Bloomberg report, Call of Duty campaigns are usually developed in about three years, but the story mode in Modern Warfare 3 was made in less than a year and a halfVenir de Tragamonedas Gratis Online. This created a lot of stress for the dev teams, and many hope this doesn’t reflect negatively on them now that Microsoft owns Activision Blizzard.

A newly discovered species of Australian spider has been christened Venomius tomhardyi, in homage to actor Tom Hardy and his portrayal of the Marvel character Venom, as per a new study published in the journal Evolutionary Systematics.
The authors noted that prominent black markings on the spider’s thorax resembled the patterns seen on Venom’s head after merging with Marvel’s Eddie Brock, portrayed by Hardy in the films. The rest gets pretty inside science-y baseball, but the gist is this: Venomius is a newly discovered genus of Australian orb-weaving spiders–while they possess venom to immobilize their prey, their venom is typically not potent enough to pose a significant threat to humans. Still, probably would not be a welcome sight in the shower.
