Classic

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic have just been made official by Samsung this morning, and just about everything, including the cost, is now out in the open. It’s probably not too hard to imagine the price though. Samsung has kept the Galaxy Watch series pricing pretty similar throughout the last few versions. And the company isn’t really deviating from that with the new models. Still, there are different variations of the Galaxy Watch 6 that you can buy. And that means different pricing across the…

SkiFree Extreme – Mountain Guide – an arcade adventure game inspired by the original SkiFree from 1991 – is now in development for mobile and PC. DevRatGames submitted the game in the Fireside Jam on itch.io where all developers had to use the theme of “guide” to determine the type of game that would be made. “The thing that instantly popped in my head was some kind of mountain guide, and the game I came to think about was the classic SkiFree that came with computers back in the ’90s,” explained the developer in one of…

Here is a totally unnecessary adaptation of Stephen King’s 1977 short story about killer kids who slaughter all the adults in town as a sacrifice to a pagan corn god. Unbelievably, King’s 10,000-odd word story has now spawned 11 movies, beginning with the 1984 cult classic starring Linda Hamilton. This new one kicks off with the whiff of something interesting: the idea that kids today might want to slit their parents’ throats for leaving the planet in such a mess. But the script is nowhere near clever enough to exploit…

On the first day of this diary, we spent a good portion of time simply setting the iPod Classic up. The conclusion? Using the device isn’t quite as seamless in 2023 as it was in the 2010s. Technology, it turns out, keeps evolving. Thankfully, the worst of that’s all behind us. That means today’s diary can focus predominantly on the experience of using an iPod Classic as the main driver for all my audio devices. Let’s dive right in.Saturday, 08:32am: RunningI like to start my weekend off right: by torturing myself. Yes,…

The iPod is iconic. Not only did Apple’s MP3 player rocket the company into the public’s imagination, it also defined an entire industry. You can’t write the story of digital music without a rather hefty chapter on the iPod.Yet, as is always the case, the world moves on. The iPod is no more. While the final model, the iPod Touch, might have only been discontinued in 2022, the classic click wheel devices reached their end back in 2014. From Apple’s perspective, its MP3 player is long dead.Despite this, there’s still a…

Credit: DorSteffen/Shutterstock There are a number of classic experiments and theories that every psychology student learns about, but more recent research has questioned their findings so that psychologists today are reevaluating human nature. One example is Philip Zimbardo's 1971 Stanford prison experiment, in which 24…

Nia DaCosta’s The Marvels will deliver a trinity of the MCU’s top heroines: Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers, Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau, and Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan. There’s a huge gulf in experience and age between them, though each is possessed with incredible cosmic powers and together they’ll make for a formidable superhero team. Entertainment Tonight recently published a “new look” at the trio, so what better time than to get into the nitty-gritty of their costuming? Image via Twitter We can only concur. We also…

The Great Yellowbacks has been a seven-year-long passion project for you. How did the idea come up, and why did it excite you? Thomas Abraham (Courtesy Hachette) Yes, the yen to publish them was a seven-year itch but the interest dates all the way back to the mid-1970s in my school days when I got hold of my first yellowback at a used books market. Then, over the years, I got a few more. The signature design and livery had a lure of its own and that’s always stayed with me. From the late 1980s on, I collected…

Activision has fixed matchmaking server issues in some older Call of Duty titles for the Xbox 360. Players have been complaining about matchmaking issues in classics like Call of Duty: Black Ops and the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 over the past few years, as they haven’t been able to get into lobbies for multiplayer modes. Now that the servers are back and working, the player count in Call of Duty: Black Ops (which might not be totally accurate) stands at more than 100,000.That doesn’t mean thousands of Xbox…
