| Volkswagen’s EV racecar just broke records during this year’s Pikes Peak Hill Climb Posted: 24 Jun 2018 01:07 PM PDT  The Pikes Peak Hill Climb is a racing event that's been going on since 1916 — a 12.42 mile run that climbs 4,720 feet, and serves as a proving ground for car makers to test the speed and agility of their new vehicles. Last October, Volkswagen announced that it was building an electric racecar called the ID R Pikes Peak that it hoped would set a new course record, and revealed the vehicle back in March. Today, the car, driven by Romain Dumas, did just that, blasting up the course at over 90 miles per hour in just under eight minutes. Electric cars take well to the Pikes Peak race: they don't have to deal with the problems high altitudes and thinner air that can stymie racecars powered by fossil fuels, making it an ideal testing ground.... |

| Season 3 of Preacher takes an unusual approach to horror and humor Posted: 24 Jun 2018 11:00 AM PDT  Spoilers for seasons 1 and 2 of Preacher ahead. Early in season 3 of the AMC series Preacher, Tulip (Ruth Negga) has a vision. She's running down the road to the rural town of Angelville when she sees a man in a black-and-white spotted dog suit. The man-dog is ridiculous, but also eerie — particularly when it tells Tulip she's been chosen for a divine purpose. It gestures with its floppy paws and stares at her with black, shiny, empty eyes. Many television shows and movies use horror tropes as part of an action/comedy mix. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sleepy Hollow, and Wynonna Earp all sprinkle vampires or demons around their narratives. But while all these shows feature monsters, they aren't working primarily to terrify or disturb the... |
| God of War’s violent world comes to life in these stunning art prints Posted: 24 Jun 2018 10:00 AM PDT  This year's reboot of God of War on the PlayStation 4 was a wonderful surprise. It imbued the long-running series with an emotional core, turned Kratos into a likable character, and still managed to include some very satisfying action. It also looked gorgeous, as the series made the shift from Greek to Norse mythology with plenty of style. Now that style can live on your walls thanks to a new series of art prints from Cook & Becker. If the Cook & Becker name sounds familiar, it's because the art studio has slowly built up a reputation for offering some of the best game art around. In the past, that has included series for Fallout, Skyrim, Ni No Kuni, and even an absurdly large Final Fantasy XV art tome. The God of War collection... |
| Sphero bought a crowdfunded music tech company to expand its unlicensed toys Posted: 24 Jun 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Sphero, the maker of connected toys like BB-8, announced this week that it's acquired Specdrums, a company that makes rings that produce music through taps on different colors. We don't know how much Sphero spent to acquire the company's technology, but Specdrums raised over $175,000 on Kickstarter last year and just finished shipping to all its backers. It's clear that Sphero plans on integrating the ring and color system into its proprietary toys. Sphero CEO Paul Berberian tells The Verge that the company wants to "get back to its roots," through toys that won't have as much branded, character-focused play. We can already get an idea of what these future toys could do because Specdrums integrated its technology with Sphero's open SDK... |
| The Shadows That Run Alongside Our Car feels like playing your own low-budget horror movie Posted: 24 Jun 2018 08:00 AM PDT  It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend. There is a certain type of low-budget film that manages to tell a story in an unexpected way. It seems to come up most often with horror movies, where because of budget or time restraints, filmmakers are often forced to make choices they normally wouldn't. Like how in Clerks they could only shoot in the store after it closed and had to come up with an explanation for why the shutter was always down, or how the zombie movie Pontypool is set entirely in a small town radio station where they're trying to piece together what's... |
| Tom Holland revealed the title for Spider-Man: Homecoming’s sequel Posted: 24 Jun 2018 07:22 AM PDT  The sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming is just over a year out from hitting theaters, but its star Tom Holland seems to have revealed the title in an Instagram post: Spider-Man: Far From Home. Holland is at Ace Comic-Con in Seattle this weekend, appearing alongside other Marvel actors Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Mackie, and Elizabeth Olsen. While there, he posted a video to Instagram, and said that while there wasn't any announcements for the upcoming sequel, he did just get the script, and held it up on an iPad, revealing the title. Spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War ahead. Spider-Man: Far From Home is an apt... |

| One in three American drivers can’t tell if their tires are bald Posted: 24 Jun 2018 06:00 AM PDT  Whether you know it or not, driving a car is probably one of the riskiest things you'll ever do. Substantially increasing that risk is the prospect of worn-down, bald tires with little to no tread. Unfortunately, a worrisome segment of the driving population can't tell a normal tire from a bald one. According to the US Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA), 35 percent of American drivers can't tell if a tire is bald. In addition, 40 percent think they can tell if a tire is under-inflated just by looking at it, and just 17 percent knew how to check their tire pressure. These statistics are from a 2015 study, which resurfaced during National Tire Safety Week earlier this month in Ars Technica. Vehicles with worn-out tires are three... |
