SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Review: A Big Upgrade From Budget Gaming Headsets

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-18 21:00:57

Voice chatting in games is important; everyone who’s ever played a co-op shooter knows that. And as someone who plays dumb baby games like Fortnite constantly, I can attest. The thing about comms, or more specifically, in-game audio, is that it can be unstable, which is why investing in a gaming headset to minimize hiccups is key. On that front, I’ve been slacking; I’ve been using a terrible gaming headset that looks like a Fisher-Price version of a real one, which has gotten me by with a very b

Amazon’s New ‘War of the Worlds’ Features a Head-Scratching Twist

Even before War of the Worlds entered the public domain a decade ago, H.G. Wells’ alien-invasion tale had been adapted over and over. Steven Spielberg’s 2005 movie is probably the best-remembered cinematic version, though Orson Welles’ 1938 radio broadcast, said to have sparked panic among more gullible listeners, is still the most famous.
