Focus Home Interactive has released the E3 trailer for Call of Cthulhu. When H.P. Lovecraft first wrote about Cthulhu, he probably had no idea that elements of his horror stories would remain popular nearly a century later. But those stories that question sanity and praise madness still linger. Call of Cthulhu is one of those stories that just got a brand new trailer for E3. In Call of Cthulhu, the player will take on the role of Edward Pierce, a 1940s private investigator, as he ventures to Darkwater Island to investigate the murder of the Hawkins family....

Lab grown food is food that wasn’t grown in the ground or harvested from an animal – and some think tanks believe it could be the solution to some of humanity’s biggest environmental problems. But is it all that it’s cracked up to be, or is lab grown food just a fad that has been blown out of proportion? What’s more, if lab grown food replaces the agricultural business, what will happen to all of those jobs?...

New data from Canalys today shows that while PC shipments in the United States were up 17% last quarter, Apple saw a 3% decline in shipments compared to the same quarter last year. Apple was the only major PC vendor to post negative growth, and Canalys attributes that to iPad demand falling off. As usual, the Canalys data focuses on both tablets and traditional PCs. For Apple, Canalys reports that Mac shipments were up 24% year-over-year, thanks to the success of the M1 chip and Apple Silicon transition:...

It sucks to be blocked by someone on any platform. What sucks even more is when that person matters to you. Like any platform, Facebook also allows you to block anyone you find irritating or obnoxious on its platform. If you are one of those people, who got blocked by someone and now wonder whether you can still send a message to that person on Messenger, then allow us to break it for you!...

Players have inquired as to whether Battlefield 2042 features split-screen multiplayer or couch co-op. Local multiplayer, which was once commonplace in the industry, is now a rarity as developers devote their entire attention to the online experience. Even local area network (LAN) multiplayer is rarely supported by games these days. So, how does Battlefield 2042 differ from its predecessors? Can you play battlefield 2042 on split-screen? If that’s the question on your mind, you are in the right place....

I have to admit that this has never occurred to me as something to test in an iPhone review, but it’s reassuring to see someone has apparently tried it. According to a new Wired profile on the kinetic space launch system firm SpinLaunch, Apple’s iPhone can survive extremely fast rotations when physically tethered. SpinLaunch wants to create a launch system that uses kinetic energy to deploy payloads like satellites to space without the traditional fuel-powered rocket launch....

The producers of Star Trek were open to receiving scripts written by fans. There were several episodes of the numerous Star Trek TV shows that came from ideas and scripts that had been sent in by fans, some of whom were hired to work on the show, while others used the exposure to help their own literary careers. It was due to this open-door policy that the producers of Star Trek were flooded with ideas from both fans and the internal writing staff....

A new report from analytics firm Canalys claims that Apple has shipped nearly 7 million Apple Watches since the device debuted earlier this year. That number puts Apple’s shipments ahead of every other smart watch maker on the market combined. No other vendor even managed to ship 300,000 units, according to the report, with the Pebble shipping over 200,000 thanks to the boost from the recently released Pebble Time Steel. Korean competitor Samsung saw a drop in its own shipments....

Over the past ten or fifteen years, the zombie has become ubiquitous in pop culture - first shambling out of its monster-movie grave in the early-to-mid 2000s with movies like 28 Days Later and the reboot of classic horror Dawn of the Dead.

The act also exempts ISPs from liability for copyright violations by their subscribers, but does demand they send letters from rights-holders to file-sharers warning them against their actions. Canadians will also be permitted to record TV and radio shows for later viewing – but forbids them keeping a personal library of such shows. The bill also reduces Canadians’ individual liability to C$500 from a maximum of C$20,000 for making illegal copies of music or movies for private use....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the latest title in the Call of Duty franchise, is set to potentially be in the spotlight very soon in the lead-up to E3. The subject of many a leak from YouTubers and media alike, and playable since April this year, it looks like Activision could be trying to take some control of the press cycle back by going on a social media blackout and changing the logo and cover art to blank placeholders....

The Candyman movie made the titular character arguably the greatest black horror villain ever, but in Clive Barker’s original story, he was white. While he’s not quite the crossover superstar that Stephen King is, Barker is still one of the most popular horror authors in recent memory. Barker’s signature blending of mature adult themes, extreme gore, and unconventional but provocative sexuality has led to the creation of countless captivating stories by the British scribe....

Update: Black Panther crossed $1 billion in its 26th day of release. Black Panther has the fifth highest-grossing opening weekend of all-time, so does that mean it will eventually cross $1 billion?
