What follows is a spoilerific rant. If you have not yet watched the episode and want to save any goodwill you still harbor for Mr. Robot, please turn back now. You have been warned.
I adore my 10-year-old pup. A lot. To the point where my mother dodges my calls on vet days so she doesn’t have to hear a breathless blow-by-blow of his every aspirated fatball. But my fixation is, admittedly, less about the dog, and more about the countless pet “gadgets” I’m offered on a daily basis. I, without fail,…
The general consensus is the Samsung S7/S7 Edge/Note 7 are the best damn Android phones you can buy right now. They’re also really expensive. Off contract you’ll be dropping at least$800 to enjoy a gorgeous device saddled with Samsung’s clunky TouchWiz OS. But Huawei just went and made the Honor 8, a phone very…
On Friday the very hotly anticipated No Man’s Sky was finally made available for PC gamers, a full four days after console gamers got it. Reportedly this was because the developers wanted to “make it right.” Unfortunately it was still a rush job and game stores like Steam and GoG have pages and pages of angry…
You haven’t really experienced PC gaming if you’ve been playing on a laptop instead of a desktop. You’ve enjoyed the convenience of taking your games anywhere, but you’ve sacrificed playability for mobility. Your games are rarely pretty. You run things on mid-to-low settings. The newest games struggle. But with…
Mr. Robot has been a little uneven in its second season. There’s a lot of fascinating stuff at play, but the show has been bad about taking advantage of the audiences’ affection to do supremely indulgent hour-plus episodes. Yet, according to Variety, that hasn’t stopped USA from renewing the show for a third season.
In 2012 the Macbook Pro Retina wasn’t so much the next stage of laptops as it was a fun oddity by Apple. It was a workstation, designed to handle grueling video and photo editing tasks with aplomb, but it was missing some workstation musts, like a DVD drive or Ethernet port. Instead it was thinner and lighter than a…
Hufflepuff had a great reason to exist in the beginning. J.K. Rowling had divided people up based on their defining characteristics of bravery, ambition, or intelligence. And yet some people aren’t defined by that. Some people are defined by their really soft hair, or their ability to sound just like Shakira when…
The latter half of last night’s episode of Mr. Robot was as taut a thriller as the show has ever done. But the first half was a descent into a late ‘80s/early ‘90s sitcom that was as bizarre as it was amusing.
Getting from to Anthony’s Comics Book Art in Moonachie, New Jersey, from New York involves a short drive on the highway and a longer stretch through a series of industrial parks. They’re all single-story warehouses you normally find huddled around airports or shipping yards. The roads have been ravaged by overloaded…
No, the mega for series crossover from DC and CW expected later this year will not be a transcendent orgy of pop music and dancing. Because that would mean Berlanti and his array of showrunners and producers looked out at the onscreen talent afforded them and said: yes. Motherfucking musical.
We’ve been waiting four painful years for new MacBook Pros, and if you’ve been holding on to your dying machine in hopes that a refreshed line must be imminent, we’re sorry to inform you that you’re going to have to wait even longer. According to Bloomberg’s Apple sleuth Mark Gurman, the new MacBook Pros are…
My mom has not cared about a comic book since she stopped reading Casper the Friendly Ghost in 1959, but she likes comic book movies because she grew up on a steady diet of B-science fiction flicks. After learning Suicide Squad was about people blowing up monsters and not, as previously assumed, about group suicide,…
The Gizmodo office is rife with Australians.
Just now, I saw a man almost die. He was holding a robotic oar down by his side while riding a skateboard. The oar, loaded with a motor and fitted with a wheel at the bottom, sent him launching towards the film crew and me at speeds usually reserved for small cars and scooters.
In the bitter war between console and PC gamers, there is one statement neither side can find contentious. It doesn’t matter how much you adore your PS4 or your Xbox One or your Atari Jaguar, consoles suck when playing first person shooters. Man was not meant to frag one’s enemies using two joysticks and some trigger…
We get it Samsung, it’s hard playing second fiddle to Apple. You owe them a billion dollars from a four-year-old patent lawsuit, because the Samsung Galaxy was a lot like the iPhone. Another time you got a smartwatch to market, and then Apple descended from the clouds of Cupertino to declare to the world that it has…
Unless you’ve got a Roku TV or one of the latest premium sets from Samsung or Sony, there’s a good chance you need to invest in a set-top box. Unlike the software built into many “smart” TVs, a set-top box is easy to use. The software and apps are all specifically designed to be operated from the couch, the remote is…
Hot damn! After a couple of weeks of dull slogs and tedious jaunts into the waaaaacky world of Elliot and friends, Mr. Robot is back on track. This shit just got real good.
There were very few complaints when the original Xbox One was announced, and it failed to handle 4K. In 2013 nobody really cared about HD’s successor. Not unless they’d spent thousands of dollars on one of the few 4K TV sets available at the time. Yes, the best consoles have a habit of being future-proof (see the PS2…
