The US could really use an affordable electric truck

But if anything can get Americans excited, it’s a truck, especially an affordable one. (There was a ton of buzz over the announcement of a bare-bones truck from Bezos-backed Slate Auto earlier this year, for example.) The big question is whether the company can deliver in this environment. One key thing to note here: This is not the first time that there’s been a big splashy truck announcement from Ford that was supposed to change everything. The F-150 Lightning was hailed as a turning point fo

29 years later, Settlers II gets Amiga release

Perhaps one of the greatest strategy games of the 16-bit era, The Settlers, did not get a sequel on Amiga. So, when The Settlers II came out in 1996, only MS-DOS and Mac OS enjoyed it. Aside from a release for Nintendo Wii in 2007, it didn’t land on any other platforms. So, what about the Amiga? Well, amazing news has just dropped: The Settlers II Gold Edition (the 1997 edition) is coming to the Amiga in October 2025. The legendary construction strategy classic finally comes to the Amiga!

I Can’t Stop Staring at This Official Half-Human-Torch Fantastic Four Costume

Disney has unveiled its selection of costumes for 2025, and they’re spectacularly silly and delightful. Leading the pack with incredible camp are The Fantastic Four: First Steps costumes. While Sue and Reed’s costumes play it safe, those for the Human Torch and the Thing offer better representations of their powers. Seriously, I cannot stop looking at the “flame on” mid-transformation look. It’s so ridiculous, I love it and sort of want to roller skate around in it. Check out the gallery below
