Fortnite’s Eminem concert teased the future of the game

Image: Epic Games Fortnite’s latest virtual concert was more than just Eminem stomping across a destroyed city — it also teased a number of experiences coming to the game in the future. The Big Bang Event, as it was called, lasted around 10 minutes and whisked players through a variety of spaces. At first, everyone was gathered on the Fortnite OG island to witness a few moments from the game’s past happen again: a rocket launched, a meteor crashed, and then everything was

Amazon’s first Fallout trailer welcomes you to the wasteland

Fallout. | Image: Prime Video War never changes — and neither do the vibes in Fallout. After a bit of teasing, Amazon just released the first teaser trailer for its live-action adaption of Fallout, and it starts out a lot like the games: a vault dweller leaves the comfort of their home to explore the dangerous postapocalyptic wasteland outside. And boy, are things dangerous. This time around, the vault dweller is named Lucy (Yellowjackets’ Ella Purnell), and she experienc

Here’s how a bridal photo captured a single person in three poses at once

This is decidedly not evidence of the existence of parallel realities. | Image: Tessa Coates / Crop: The Verge Depending on how “online” you are, you may have seen a picture floating around socials with a strange quirk: a woman — comedian Tessa Coates — is standing in front of two mirrors in a bridal gown and, somehow, holding three poses at once.

The Ember Tumbler is a cool, high-tech travel mug — but it can’t handle the heat

It’s a good-looking desk accessory — but is it a good mug? | Image: Ember My coffee routine is needlessly fussy but fairly predictable. I wander bleary-eyed into the kitchen, add some water to the kettle, and start heating it to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, grind some coffee beans, get out the Chemex, add and rinse a new filter, put the whole thing on a scale, add 40 grams of beans, slowly pour in 600 milliliters of hot water, pour it into my trusty silver Yeti Rambler, and pa

Ctrl+Alt+Del: Xbox wants to be everywhere, and PlayStation should let it

OPINION: Ah, the console wars, we hardly knew ye. There was a time Xbox and PlayStation went console for console to try and dominate the market on hardware sales. Now, after a bruising defeat in the previous generation, Xbox has changed the game. It wants to be everywhere and PlayStation should let them. The idea of Microsoft wanting to whack Xbox Game Pass on competing devices is nothing new. Phil Spencer was responding to a question on the concept in 2020, saying “I love the Switch, I love

What is (Product)Red?

You’ve probably seen loads of products, most notably from Apple, given the Product RED branding, often written as (Product)RED. Dating back to iPod models of yesteryear, Apple has offered Product(RED) models for a number of gadgets, and has most recently launched an Apple Watch Series 9 with the branding. However, it’s more than just a colour option in a bright red hue. There’s a much deeper cause behind the product line. Save £100 on the GoPro Hero 11 Black The G
