The Microsoft AI and Gaming summit is about to begin. How long until I get strap on a VR headset and go into a game perfectly designed to keep me interested forever and ever?

Strange creatures living at the bottom of the ocean under a polar ice cap is probably not a big issue, but just in case we should be equipping Antarctic research sites with nukes. It's the only way to be sure.

Facebook and the Australian government are going to war over the proposed laws requiring sites like Facebook and Google to pay news outlets to link to their sites. Big tech really doesn't like this, but the Australian government won't back down.

Finally, a trailer for the Justice League Snyder Cut trailer has been released. It only took years of super fans begging. Let's see what else can happen. Firefly reboot, please?

This week DJ got down to business to defeat the Mongols, Professor picked a really insensitive time to play a game about freezing and Dev-i-boy went back to Uni and ran out of time to have fun.
