After two years of being canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, San Diego Comic-Con's coming back this year with a vengeance and a sizable stack of announcements, trailer drops, and early screenings of some of the entertainment industry's most hyped projects.

While there's almost no way to see absolutely everything that's going down during this year's SDCC, knowing where and when some of the convention's biggest panels are taking place is a solid way to get the most out of your time if you're on the con floor (or just following along from home). Here are all of the biggest film and television panels happening at SDCC 2022 that news-hungry fans are going to want to keep an eye on.

Halo Infinite's network campaign co-op test flight is finally live, developer 343 Industries announced Friday. As part of the test, you'll be able to play the campaign with up to three of your friends, and the game supports crossplay across Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, and PC. The test also includes a mission replay feature, which wasn't included with the game at launch.

Before you jump onto Zeta Halo with your friends, you should know that you'll be starting the campaign from scratch in this test. Any progress you've made in the retail build of the game won't carry over, and anything you accomplish in the test won't show up in your retail build, either. But if it's been a while since you played through Halo Infinite's campaign, starting...

ESPN is raising the price of its standalone ESPN Plus streaming service from $6.99 per month to $9.99 per month, a nearly 43 percent increase, beginning August 23rd, as reported earlier by Sports Business Journal. The price of the annual plan is also going up from $69.99 to $99.99.

If you get your streaming ESPN service as a part of the Disney bundle, however, which packages Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and ad-supported Hulu for $13.99 per month (including Hulu without ads takes the price to $19.99 per month), that will remain at the same price as before. The service's website and support pages haven't been updated to reflect the increase yet, but a statement sent over by Disney spokesperson Paul Melvin indicates subscribers will be notified...

The Sims 4 is making it easier for players to create Sims that better reflect their lived experiences. As a free update coming at the end of the month along with the High School Years expansion, players can now choose their Sims' sexual orientation and romantic / sexual attraction.

It works like this: within the "Create a Sim" function, you'll be able to fiddle with how your Sim experiences sex and romance. First, you can choose if your character is attracted to men or women. The Sims 4 team is aware that making this choice based on binary options isn't ideal.

"I understand that there will be concerns here around the initial options being gender binary," SimGuruJessica, the design lead on the High School Years expansion wrote in the...

Amazon’s Prime Air drone delivery tests are coming to Texas, too

Amazon's Prime Air delivery drones will begin testing in Texas soon. The drone delivery tests are happening in College Station, Texas, along with a test area announced last month located in Lockeford, California.

The current MK27-2 design (shown above) has a hexagonal shape that Amazon says increases stability as well as propellers that the company claims will minimize high-frequency soundwaves.

The company originally announced plans to create a 30-minute drone delivery service in 2013 and showed off this now-dated video (embedded above) as a demonstration of what the future might be like. Amazon showed off redesigned drones with hybrid VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) capabilities in 2019 and received approval from the Federal...

Even the Playdate Simulator can run on Steam Deck

Posted: 15 Jul 2022 10:45 AM PDT

In yet another reminder of just how flexible Valve's Steam Deck handheld gaming PC can be, an enterprising Redditor has gotten the Playdate Simulator running on their Steam Deck, as shared on Twitter by Valve designer Lawrence Yang.

The Playdate, if you're not familiar, is Panic's tiny yellow handheld with a crank, but similar to the long reservation queue for the Steam Deck, Playdate preorders are backed up for months. If you place a Playdate preorder right now, it isn't expected to ship until 2023. If you already have a Steam Deck and want to mess around with the Playdate's old-school vibes, though, it looks like it's possible to do that by installing the free Playdate Simulator.

You can see a video of the simulator running on Steam...

Bungie is now officially part of Sony

Posted: 15 Jul 2022 10:37 AM PDT

Bungie, the developer of Destiny 2, is now officially a part of Sony. The PlayStation maker had announced its intent to acquire the gaming studio in January, and now, that acquisition is complete. At the initial announcement, Sony said (pdf) the deal was worth $3.6 billion, but in an SEC filing on Friday, it said the deal was worth "approximately" $3.7 billion.

Though it's now under the Sony umbrella, Bungie will "continue to independently publish and creatively develop our games," Bungie CEO Pete Parsons said in a blog post from the original...

Why stars look spiky in images from the James Webb Space Telescope

Stars in the new images from the James Webb Space Telescope look sharper than they did before. And I'm not just talking about the image quality, which is astounding. I'm talking about the fact that many of the bright stars in the images have very distinct Christmas-ornament-looking spikes or, as one of my colleagues put it, "It looks like a J.J. Abrams promo poster, and I love it."

But this isn't a case of too much lens flare. Those are diffraction spikes, and if you look closely, you'll see that all bright objects in the JWST images have the same eight-pointed pattern. The brighter the light, the more prominent the feature. Dimmer objects like nebulae or galaxies don't tend to see quite as much of this distortion.

This pattern of...

Here are the best AirPods deals you can get right now

If you know where to look, there are often some great discounts available on Apple's popular — yet oftentimes expensive — AirPods. Since Apple launched the third-gen AirPods last year and unveiled its new lineup, we've seen the starting price of the second-gen, entry-level model drop from $159 to $129. What's more, we've seen many retailers heavily discounting the second-gen AirPods as well as the more expensive AirPods Pro and Max, which offer noise cancellation and better sound quality than the standard model.

In recent months, we've even seen some significant discounts on the third-gen model that, despite lacking the "Pro" moniker, resembles the AirPods Pro more than the long-stemmed original model. Here, we'll run through the best...
