It’s hard to fathom that an already structured and developed plot and characters for any franchise that’s successful in the gaming world can get ruined by Hollywood. We already had Mortal Kombat this year, and the direction of that movie was bottom tier with a handful of highlights. Now, we have Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City and it aims to stick to the video game lore that Capcom had established with the first two games....

Apple in late-2012 debuted the then new Lightning I/O as a replacement for the aging, decade-old 30-pin Dock connector. One of its most compelling features: the symmetrical design allowing the cable to be inserted with either side facing up. I reckoned at the time that the industry would scramble to replicate Apple’s innovation. Sure enough, the USB 3.0 Promoter Group last December unveiled a new USB Type-C specification with much smaller, twice as fast connectors and cables....

Samsung Electronics, which manufactures Apple-designed chips for iPads and iPhones exclusively at its Austin, Texas facility, has reportedly hit the iPhone maker with a material 20 percent price hike. Unsurprisingly, per an unnamed person allegedly familiar with negotiations between the two companies, this price increase is only aimed at Apple and not other Samsung clients.

Politics and Hollywood almost always intersect when it comes down to an election year. Many heavyweights in the industry will throw their weight and money behind their candidate of choice, and they can become a strong part of generating revenue for their campaign.

After Biden performed poorly during a recent, crucial debate,many of his high-profile celebrity supporters are now shifting gears and suggesting that he should step down toprevent Trump from re-entering the White House....

Everything runs in cycles but some cycles are less expected than others. Once games were only physical, then slowly digital started being added to the mix. There was a bit of push-back at the time due to worries about storage, what happens when the console dies, you only license not own, etc, but the future kept on happening anyway. Digital and physical coexisted for a while but the convenience of digital made the shelves of local retails feel a little more empty as months went by and one store after another closed down....
