This Video Game Flop Burned a Staggering $200 Million

We were first introduced to the world of Halo with the launch of the Xbox in 2001. That one game became an instant classic and one of the best original Xbox games ever made, allowing Xbox to compete with the likes of PlayStation and Nintendo. Thanks to the massive universe that game set up, plus the ending teasing more to the Master Chief’s story, it was only a matter of time before we got more Halo games. Over 20 years later, there are about a dozen games in the series, but only five are numbered. If you were to simply follow the mainline games, you would be missing out on huge swaths of the story.

All Halo games in order, by release date and chronologically

GTA 6 got its first reveal trailer seven months ago, and so far, Rockstar Games has been pretty much quiet about the game. But it seems that the second trailer may not be far from now.

EcoFlow’s new Power Hat must be the dorkiest piece of headgear I’ve ever heard of — and I think I love it? It’s a wide-brimmed floppy-ish sun hat full of solar cells that you can charge your phone with. EcoFlow says it can charge a 4,000mAh smartphone to capacity “in as fast as 3–4 hours.” Sounds ideal for casually scrolling feeds at a campsite or surviving in a sun-blasted, Mad Maxian desert wasteland.

Horror trilogies have come and gone throughout the years, but rarely are they consistent in quality. Usually, this is because the original director abandons the franchise to work on other projects while other filmmakers scoop up their remains to try and profit off of them as much as possible. This isn't always the case, of course, and lots of horror trilogies out there are full of nothing but awful movies.

GTA 6 is shaping up to be one of the biggest games ever, but a former Rockstar employee is warning that the title might leave players a bit disappointed on day one. Rockstar Games blew up the internet in December 2023 when they unveiled the first official look at GTA 6 with a record-breaking trailer, giving players their first look at a modern Vice City.

“I don’t want to jinx it, but it seems to have gone extremely well with the second implant,” Elon Musk said on the Lex Fridman podcast. “There’s a lot of signal, a lot of electrodes.” The wires on Neuralink’s first human brain implant retracted, resulting in fewer electrodes that could measure brain signals. 10 more implants could come before the end of this year if regulators approve.

If you haven’t seen The Matrix, you might want to reassess your priorities. This 1999 cinematic masterpiece is not just any film; it’s one of the most influential pieces of science fiction of the past 30 years. A groundbreaking exploration of reality, technology, and human consciousness, The Matrix has etched itself into the annals of pop culture history. And for those streaming enthusiasts, it’s currently available on Netflix, but hurry, because it’s leaving the platform in the US at the end of July.

Look, fun is fun and all, but sometimes boring is better. A flip phone dripping with nostalgia that comes in bold colors and lets you run apps all willy-nilly on the cover screen? With inviting wallpapers and playful UI touches? That’s fun. It’s also not the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. But while I thoroughly enjoyed using the Motorola Razr Plus — the fun flip phone — reliability wins out in the end.

It’s unclear whether the name refers to a new Like a Dragon title. On July 26, Sega filed a trademark for Yakuza Wars in Japan, but it’s unclear whether this refers to a new Like a Dragon title or something else entirely. Regardless, the title will likely be used in a video game of some sort, and not as part of other Sega ventures.

Hope Logan Spencer (Anikka Noelle) was the voice of reason on The Bold and the Beautiful until recently. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) has said many times that Hoep is fair, and he admires her morals. The writers have recently shifted the character, and Virginia fans differ on how they feel about it.

At first glance, the idea of a movie being beautiful and grotesque at the same time might sound like an impossibility. Visual beauty can be tarred by things that are more conventionally ugly, violent, or otherwise unpleasant to look at. Similarly, movies with gross, upsetting, or disturbing content might often stay away from presenting things in a visually pleasing way, just to drive home the ugliness of the story or what’s being explored thematically.
