| Valve is making Dota 2 players pay to avoid toxic gamers Posted: 18 May 2019 11:00 AM PDT  Dota 2 is no longer free to play if you want to have the best experience. In this year's Dota 2 "Battle Pass" — a premium subscription that usually offers cosmetics and other optional curiosities to the game — Valve bundled one of the most important features it has ever created. Players who buy the Battle Pass can now use an "experimental" Avoid Player feature, which is supposed to keep toxic players away from you. Here's a different way to say it: Valve is now charging players a minimum of $9.99 to avoid harassers. I'm glad to see that Valve is finally taking more steps to address its toxic player community and protect Dota 2 players from the worst of the bunch. But it's telling that the company sees this as an add-on, and not part of... |
| A Memory Called Empire is a brilliant blend of cyberpunk, space opera, and political thriller Posted: 18 May 2019 10:00 AM PDT  In Arkady Martine's debut novel, A Memory Called Empire, Ambassador Mahit Dzmare, an emissary from the distant Lsel Station, is called to the center of the vast Teixcalaanli Empire after her predecessor winds up dead. As she begins to understand the ins and outs of her new role, she also has to figure out how to keep her home station from being absorbed into the Empire, and what happened to her predecessor. Author Martine lays out a fantastic look at how a society's memory steers cultural and political events, and offers a meditation on the lengths people will go to be free. The novel is set in the very distant future: humanity has spread throughout the stars, traveling from system to system by way of a stargate-style network. That's... |
| 9 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 18 May 2019 09:00 AM PDT  Welcome to the annual biggest week in trailers, aka TV upfronts week. This is the week when TV networks present glimpses of their new shows to advertisers, trying to woo commitments ahead of the shows' debuts later this year. Naturally, those trailers also end up online. I love watching all the upfront trailers because they're just incredibly awkward and strange most of the time. At this point, the shows have each only filmed a pilot episode, and so a trailer for them is basically a three minute tour through a single 20-or-so minute episode of TV. No surprise, a lot of them are pretty bad, but there are always a few gems. I've included some highlights below, but if you want to watch them all, you can check out trailer roundups for ABC, N... |
| GameStop is discounting games, consoles, accessories, and more today Posted: 18 May 2019 08:00 AM PDT  GameStop is hosting a day-long sale today on games, consoles, accessories, and memorabilia based on movies, TV shows, and video game franchises. This is a rare opportunity, aside from Amazon Prime Day 2019 and Black Friday, to find popular games and console bundles for less than their usual prices. Before jumping in to see a few of the best deals, you should know that a membership is required before you can take advantage of today's deals at GameStop. Its PowerUp Rewards program costs $14.99 per year to join, and it will earn you 10 percent off of used inventory as well as an extra 10 percent back in store credit if you trade in a game, console, or an accessory. So if you still purchase games on disc, a membership may be worth it for... |
| How to use Google Maps to help someone find you Posted: 18 May 2019 07:00 AM PDT  Google Maps is great for helping you find your way — or even helping you find your car — but the app can also help other people find you. Maps has an easily overlooked feature for sharing your real-time whereabouts with someone so they can see exactly where you are, even if you're moving, and then navigate to your location. You can use the same feature to let a trusted person keep tabs on your travel progress to a particular place and know precisely when you're set to arrive. The best part? It's all incredibly simple to do. The trick is knowing where to look. Share your real-time locationWhen you want someone to be able to track your location: |
| Surface Headphones are $100 off at the Microsoft Store Posted: 18 May 2019 06:00 AM PDT  Microsoft is discounting its Surface Headphones by $100. The deal is available over at the company's online store, and it looks like a temporary price cut to $249.99 down from the regular $349.99 price. Microsoft's headphones have Cortana built-in, but they also work with Apple's Siri or the Google Assistant on Android. Surface Headphones also include noise canceling (NC), smart switching between multiple paired devices, and USB-C charging. Microsoft first released its Surface Headphones back in November, and this is the first major discount on the Surface cans since then. We reviewed the Surface Headphones and found them to have great wireless performance, excellent noise cancellation, but lacking in sound quality overall. Rumors... |
