A social worker shows up to investigate an alleged case of child abuse, only to discover something far more supernatural is to blame. Fortunately for the family, the social worker also happens to be able to see dead people. But at what price? That’s the set-up for They Live in the Grey, a new Shudder Original that…
A man in Thailand’s bong session went disastrously wrong, according to his doctors. In a new case report, they describe how he “completely amputated his penis” using scissors, apparently due to a rare episode of cannabis-induced psychosis. Though the man’s delusional symptoms faded after being admitted to the hospital…

With that in mind, though, Geoff Keighley, known for The Game Awards and now Summer Game Fest, has shared a new tweet claiming that there are a few other big acquisitions yet to come. “Have heard from multiple people: … Continue reading
Google One’s VPN hasn’t been much use if you primarily surf the more secure web through your iPhone, but that won’t be a problem from now on. Google is starting to roll out One VPN service for iOS users. So long as you’ve subscribed to the 2TB Premium plan in eligible countries, this should help you shield your internet activity. It won’t give you an IP address in another country, though, so don’t expect to browse foreign streaming service libraries.
There are new features for Android users, too. App Bypass lets certain apps use a regular connection if the VPN proves troublesome, while Safe Disconnect will only let you get online while the VPN is active. Snooze temporarily disables the VPN.
Google One Premium costs $10 per month and is currently available in 18 countries including the US, Canada and the UK. The iPhone launch probably won’t reel you in if you’re already using a VPN or a privacy-minded service like iCloud Private Relay. However, this might be just what you were looking for if you’re steeped in the Google cloud ecosystem and want a secure service you can use across platforms.
From a new version of omicron to when kids under 5 might finally get vaccinated, here’s the latest you need to know.
Patrick Wilson and Halle Berry may be action movie stars, but the real hero of Moonfall, Roland Emmerich’s newest disaster movie, is played by Game of Thrones’ John Bradley. As good-natured conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman, he keeps Wilson’s disgraced ex-astronaut Brian Harper and Berry’s no-nonsense NASA chief Jo…
NASA’s ATLAS, a planetary defense system that scans the sky for near-Earth objects, has been upgraded to search the entire night sky—half of it in either hemisphere—once every 24 hours. The surveillance system is vital for tracking objects like asteroids and debris that are on a collision course with Earth.
Being mocked as “cowards” and “feds” by one of America’s top podcasters wasn’t as devastating a blow as it might’ve first seemed for a Hitler fan club that’s spent nearly half a decade recruiting and training perhaps hundreds of young racist men to spread white nationalist ideals with public displays of hatred and…

The SSD fits directly in the chassis of the PlayStation 5, and will feature multiple storage options ranging from 500GB to 4TB. The company revealed the Corsair MP600 PRO LPX SSD on February 1, 2022, and it says the SSD will deliver “blazing-fast” save and load times for … Continue reading
Rocket League Sideswipe, a mobile spin-off from the hit car soccer game, is getting some new features and modes as part of its second season. Along with the latest free Rocket Pass and season challenges, a volleyball mode will go live in the iOS and Android game at 11AM ET on Wednesday.
The two-on-two mode has no goals. Instead, there’s a net in the middle of the arena and a new ball. You’ll score when the ball hits the ground on your opponents’ side of the net. It’s as simple a concept as “get the ball in the other team’s goal,” but offers a different dynamic to gameplay.
As volleyball arrives, players will need to bid adieu to Hoops, a basketball-style mode that has also been available in Rocket League. Psynoix says that these Extra Modes will cycle in and out of Sideswipe each season, likely to keep things fresh.
There’ll be a bunch of new items to unlock in season two, including some Rocket League favorites like the Breakout car and supernova and dueling dragons goal explosions. You’ll also have a way to practice against human opponents without worrying about your competitive rank. Casual playlists will arrive today at 7PM ET, ahead of the full season two update.
When the new season starts, Sideswipe will reset all competitive ranks. Players will be rewarded with titles and quick chat stickers that vary depending on their peak rank during the inaugural season.
Psyonix did a great job of translating the full Rocket League experience to a 2D mobile format with Sideswipe. It’s a good way for fans to get their car soccer (or volleyball) fix while away from their console or PC, though I’ve found it easier to play with a controller than touch controls.
