We’ve known for some time now that developer Obsidian Entertainment was forced to cut Fallout: New Vegas’ post-game content during its development. But now, thanks to the data found on a recently unearthed Xbox 360 dev kit, we can finally take a look at what some of that scrapped content would have entailed. It turns out that a more sinister conclusion to Yes Man’s story once existed after the credits rolled. Regardless of who you side with during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, there’s no squeaky-clean, morally sound conclusion to Fallout: New Vegas. Going with Caesar’s Legion is the…
Advanced alien civilizations may communicate via a series of flashing lights, similar to how fireflies do, a new paper hints. This would potentially make extraterrestrials much harder to spot if we continue to rely on our current observation techniques, the researchers argue.However, while this thought experiment raises interesting questions about alien intelligence, it does not provide any evidence that these signals actually exist.So far, the quest to uncover alien intelligence has focused on finding evidence of distant human-like civilizations. For example, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute — the world’s leading organization dedicated to searching for alien life —…
For the first time in years, Nvidia declined to introduce new GeForce graphics card models at CES. CEO Jensen Huang’s characteristically sprawling and under-rehearsed 90-minute keynote focused almost entirely on the company’s dominant AI business, relegating the company’s gaming-related announcements to a separate video posted later in the evening. Instead, the company focused on software improvements for its existing hardware. The biggest announcement in this vein is DLSS 4.5, which adds a handful of new features to Nvidia’s basket of upscaling and frame generation technologies. DLSS upscaling is being improved by a new “second-generation transformer model” that Nvidia says has…
Meta has been experimenting with EMG technology for years. In 2025, the company commercialized it for the first time in its Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, which users control via a dedicated neural band that is able to interpret subtle muscle movements in the wrist.Now, at CES 2026, the company is offering its first look at how its neural band could be used to control devices outside of its smart glasses lineup. Meta has teamed up with Garmin, as well as a handful of research partners, to explore some intriguing use cases for its wrist-based controller.The social media company has previously…
Good news! Amazon is doing its 3 for $33 4K UHD Blu-Ray sale again. If you’ve been wanting to build up a physical collection of your favorite movies (or grow your current collection), you should take advantage of this deal before stuff starts selling out. As spotted by deals guru Wario64, Amazon is once again offering up 4K UHD movies for just $11 each. The catch? You have to buy at least three for the deal to kick in. But, once you have three in your cart, you can just keep adding movies, and they each only cost $11. Want…
Astronomers have spotted an unexpectedly hot galaxy cluster in the early universe that’s challenging theories of galactic evolution.The scorching cluster existed just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang, blazing far earlier and hotter than current models of galaxy cluster formation predict should be possible. The discovery suggests that the predicted patterns of cluster growth might need a rethink, researchers reported Jan. 5 in the journal Nature.Galaxy clusters are collections of dark matter and hundreds to thousands of galaxies, all bound together by gravity. Those galaxies are separated by a mix of gas known as the intracluster medium. As galaxy…
As a Windows system built inside of a functioning membrane keyboard, the HP EliteBoard G1a announced today is a more accessible alternative to other keyboard-PCs. The Commodore 64 made the keyboard-PC famous in the 1980s, but the keyboard-PC space has been dominated by the Raspberry Pi. In 2019, the single-board computer (SBC) maker released the Raspberry Pi 400, which is essentially a Raspberry Pi 4 SBC inside a case that also functions as a keyboard for the system. USB, HDMI, and Ethernet ports, plus a GPIO header and native Raspberry Pi OS Linux distribution add up to a low-end desktop…

Valve has more recently been preparing to have additional gaming devices run its SteamOS platform. Even though Xbox ROG Ally is…
Whenever my kids get stuck playing a game, they run around the house yelling for me to help them. Doesn’t matter where I am or what I’m doing. Making dinner, taking out the trash, going to the bathroom, nowhere is safe. I patiently try to explain to them that back in my day, there was no grownup to help me beat Snake Man in Mega Man 3 or find Excalibur in Final Fantasy IV. I just had to bash my head against the wall until I figured it out or give up until I got older. They never find this…
A Reddit user has accused Corsair of cancelling a confirmed prebuilt PC order and then relisting the same system at a higher price, triggering criticism online. The issue was shared by Reddit user u/Senior_Ball_9068, who said he ordered a Corsair Vengeance a5100 on December 31st. The system was priced at $3,499.99 and included an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, an NVIDIA RTX 5080, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD. According to the post, an invoice was issued, and everything was set.
