I still distinctly remember my first experience playing a video game in VR. I was working at Rolling Stone when HTC came to the office to demo several experiences on its Vive headset. After playing some basic arcade games, I commented that I could really feel that the tech was in its Atari era. The simple game design made it clear that this was just the beginning for VR gaming, and that I shouldn’t expect it to match console gaming anytime soon. It was an experimental ride I was ready to take. Playing Asgard’s Wrath…

Image via Universal Pictures Whenever the conversation is about the scariest horror movies, 1973’s The Exorcist almost always comes out as the winner. But as I said, almost always.  In years since the film, there have been many that have tried to edge it out of the top rank but only a few have managed to be deemed horrifying enough to contend for The Exorcist’s crown, and one such scary wonder is John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi horror flick, The Thing.  Starring Kurt Russell, The Thing, saw a group of American…

It’s easy to take a steadying presence for granted. Steady doesn’t work as a brand, and it doesn’t compel hot takes. Instead of announcing itself to the world, steady quietly gets the job done without expecting fanfare.Steady was the way of Christine McVie. Her death on Wednesday, at age 79, leaves behind an assortment of open wounds, but the absence of her stabilizing presence may be the most visible and acutely painful. Fleetwood Mac bandmate Stevie Nicks called her “Mother Earth” for her unflappable grace amid…

We review a lot of headphones and earbuds here at TechCrunch, and most of them compete for the low- or mid-range of the earbud market. With price points ranging from $75 through $300 or so, they’re often awfully same-ish. The feature set is not dissimilar. They sound different, yes, but not by so much that you’d feel like your life would be ruined if you’d picked one set over the other. It’s a rare moment, then, that I get a piece of equipment shipped to me that breaks the mold. That’s precisely what happened with…
