As a squid kid, you have many more movement options than a normal third-person shooter character does. WithSplatoon 3, there are even more ways to get around than ever before with things like the Squid Roll and Squid Surge options to master. However, these moves, plus your normal run and swim abilities, are not exactly meant for long-distance travel. While maps are generally compact inSplatoon 3, there are times when you need to spring across the level as fast as possible....

Summary Over the month of May, I finally watched the mystery dramaThe Leftovers, and I’m convinced HBO hasn’t released a better show in this genre in the decade since it first premiered. HBO has been the captain of prestige TV dramas and comedies for several decades now, and while acclaimed Sunday night HBO shows often prove to have a hold on popular culture, some end up flying relatively under the radar compared to shows with similar praise....

Summary After rewatching Netflix’sIron Fist, I think theMarvel Cinematic Universeshould bring back Finn Jones and his version of Danny Rand. I am a huge fan of the Netflix Marvel shows — The Defenders Saga. The MCU has released some exciting series since it started to expand on Disney+, with projects likeWandaVisionandLokibecoming Marvel Studios' best TV offeringsand other series varying in level of quality. However, I think that an episode or two aside, theMCU’s Disney+ serieshave fallen short of Marvel’s shows on Netflix....

Adding Amazon Alexa support to the newJarvishX-AR smart motorcycle helmet’s feature set was a savvy decision. Riders don’t necessarily need to worry about learning how to manage the new lid when they can ask Alexa for what they want. Tech-loving riders may expect voice assistant interfaces in smart helmets. If less technology-enamored bikers are attracted to the convenience, entertainment, and safety features in smart helmets, however, they might be more than happy to let Alexa manage everything via voice commands....

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 13, one of the most dramatic missions in the history of space flight. Launched from the Kennedy Space Center on June 18, 2025, the mission was intended to carry three astronauts to the moon. But two days into the mission, an oxygen tank on board the spacecraft failed and caused an explosion, venting much of the available oxygen into space. The world watched as mission control scrambled to find a way to extend the small amount of available oxygen to keep the astronauts alive for four days until the craft was able to splashdown in the South Pacific Ocean....

So far, these clips have ranged from aWalking Dead-inspired scene, to a dog watching a movie and eating Cheetos on the couch, to the Sesame Street crew frozen on the set, and to a huge crowd frozen in place as they cheerMarshmello....

While there are somegreat keyboard appsthat improve the screen-tapping experience, a physical keyboard remains the best way to type on any electronic device. Unfortunately for keyboard fans, smartphones with keyboards have been slim pickings in the last few years, with theBlackBerry Key2and KeyOne being your only real options.

Summary Grey’s Anatomyis one of the longest-running shows on TV, but I’m starting to think it wouldn’t have thrived as long without killing off Derek Shepherd. The series was starting to show its age beforePatrick Dempsey’s exit duringGrey’s Anatomyseason 11. Due to that big departure,season 11, episode 21 was one ofGrey’s Anatomy’s most important episodes. Before that development, I believed Derek and Meredith were untouchable because of their popularity. The best way to force a show into a new direction is to eradicate a part of what made it so successful in the first place....
