We’re still awaiting a US ruling in the Epic Games antitrust case against Apple, but the games company has now received the go-ahead to take the same case to court in Australia. Apple had successfully blocked legal proceedings in the country, arguing that the matter was already being decided in the US, but Epic has now managed to get that ruling overturned – at least, for now … Background There can’t be many people in the tech world who aren’t aware of the basics in the dispute....

He then played a smaller, but important role in King’s 2013 Shining sequel novel Doctor Sleep, which centers on his now adult son Danny Torrance....

The events in the Evil Dead franchise began thanks to a book called Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, but what is it about and why does it have the power to create so much chaos? Back in 1981, Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead brought a different kind of demonic possession and an unlikely hero that would become a legend in later films, as well as a book with a mythology of its own. The film follows a group of friends vacationing in an isolated cabin in the woods who discover a tape recorder and a version of the Book of the Dead, which has the power to unleash demons and other malevolent spirits....

For those who have yet to venture down the Gungeon’s floors, this smiling sun-colored package hides a fierce challenge, and one of the absolute best action roguelikes ever made.

[This is a review for F Is for Family season 1. There will be SPOILERS.] - For those familiar with the stand-up comedy of Bill Burr, you can imagine how crafting a television show around his comedic sensibility and tone might have been difficult just a few years ago.

At the time, I was editing videos with large headphones on for eight hours per day, and the idea of swapping one set of headphones for another after work just wasn’t appealing. Purchasing a set didn’t cross my mind until one year later when Apple showed off the AirPods wireless charging case and elusive AirPower mat....
