It’s happened. In a manner of speaking. Facebook-owned messaging service WhatsApp is currently testing the ability to share statuses — those Facebook-like, limited-time messages — with other apps. Including Facebook and Instagram. What could possible go wrong?
One Punch Man, in case you’ve been neglecting your anime viewing of late, is a series about a hero. A hero who never needs more than a single punch to defeat his foes. Which sounds absolutely awesome, until you realise that that’s… a pretty boring life to lead. We’ve already seen the oddball series take manga and anime forms, and now it’s about time for a video game to make an appearance. Publishers Namco Bandai has announced One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows — a 3v3 fighter in the vein of Dragon Ball FighterZ or the many, many Naruto…
In this week’s Light Start we have technical Windows things, military Thor, the new Xbox console (one of em), and Genshin Impact.
We’ve been following along with Netflix’s Stranger Things since Season 3 was announced. While previous trailers have proved to be a little… meh, showing more drama and a not insubstantial amount of rampant consumerism (albeit a retro version of it), the newest — and final — Stranger Things Season 3 trailer brings the pain. And more than a little horror, to boot.
It’s a hard life being cheesed off, but that’s just what happens when you’re attempting to afford a member of Apple’s lineup of computers. If you’ve had eyes on the massively-expensive Mac Pro announced earlier this month, though, you might be aware of its cheesier qualities. That is: a casing capable of shredding rotted bovine lactation. Or, at least, so we thought.
We’ve all had questions, ever since it first was announced that Huawei is losing access to Google’s Android operating system. There was talk of a backup OS (which may or may not happen), a delayed notebook, and through it all Huawei has remained… remarkably calm.
Everyone’s getting a battle royale these days. Like a Mountain Dew-crazed Oprah handing out gaming goodies, just about every video game is getting a battle royale variant. The latest? Fallout 76, for some reason. Oh, and this fan-made conversion of the original Super Mario Bros., known simply as Mario Royale. Which you should go out and play right a-bloody-way.
What’s that, we hear you cry? It’s about bloody time? We’re right there with you on this one. It’s been far too long since Stuff had a fresh giveaway for its readers. But the drought has broken and we’ve got three Bluetooth speakers to give away to three winners. That’s one each, not three each. Important distinction. Up for grabs? Two LG Xboom Go PK3 speakers, valued at R1,000 each, and one LG Xboom Go PK5, valued at R2,500.
When things are going your way, it still helps to have a backup plan. That seem to be Huawei’s attitude to the ongoing China-America trade wars, which have wound up with the Chinese company on the so-called Entity List. And now that Plan B is looking more and more like a thing, the company has begun trademarking its Hongmeng mobile operating system around the world.
Video game publisher Konami has some new hardware on the way and for a change it has nothing to do with a Pachinko machine (long story). In keeping with Sony, Nintendo, and Sega launching throwback mini-consoles of their own, Konami is bringing back the TurboGrafx-16 with the TurboGrafx-16 Mini, a smaller version of the 1980s console released by the gaming company.
