Twitter can be many things. A place to look at all the good dogs, Bront. A digital field for harvesting GIFs. A fine place to increase your blood pressure. A spot best used for harvesting news relevant to your interests. The trick is curating the folks that you follow in order to provide the experience you want. But don’t you feel like Twitter could be more? Twitter does.
What happens when you combine Bus Simulator 18 with classic mobile game Snake? We’d like to think that you’d wind up with something like Snakeybus, a game so delightfully bonkers that we can’t stop watching the trailer. We suspect that we probably wouldn’t be able to stop watching someone play thing one. And as for playing it ourselves… headsplosion.
This week in Light Start, we explore some of the Marvel universe, check out some frikkin’ laserbeams, and witness an eldrich abomination made flesh.
We’ve been following rumours that Lenovo-owned Motorola is looking at cracking the folding phone market (such as it is) with its very own entry — a folding version of the iconic Motorola RAZR. We’ve found out what the specs are likely to be, and now we may have a pretty good idea what it looks like.
Okay, okay, we’re totally having a go at Samsung here. The Korean company has a new TV on the way, called the Sero. It’s not quite as apocalyptic as we’re making out, either. It’s just got one little feature that, honestly, makes it stand out. Or up.
It’s that time of the month again, where a new issue of Stuff Magazine hits shelves. And for the May 2019 issue of Stuff Magazine, we’re going to do things to your head. Or at least, you’re going to do things to your head. We’re just going to give you loads and loads of options.
This week on Light Start: multiple Will Smiths, William Gibson’s Alien script, Endgame shatters records, and Bill Nye the Science Podcast.
In a world filled with technology, it’s really easy to get caught up in messages, notifications, working from wherever, and just generally being busy. It’s difficult to remember to take some time for yourself but the Moment Pebble hopes to encourage you to do just that. This little gadget might look like the most pointless thing since the Pet Rock (Down Fluffy! Stop hitting the nice man!) but it could be just the break you need from your frantic modern life.
We might have first seen it around 1 April but upcoming DC series Swamp Thing is no joke. The first teaser video for the swamp monster-featuring show has dropped and it’s looking a whole lot like traditional horror fare. Suitably DC-flavoured, so there’s grit, grime, and (probably) mothers named Martha everywhere.
Dadabots is a musical project that uses a neural network to produce music. Heavy music. Death metal, if you want to put a label on it, though we’d add that there’s some grindcore and a whole mess of machine-gun bass.
