In 2007, a group of Mega Man fans under the name Team.Nekokan uploaded an animated music video titled “Air Man ga Taosenai.” Also known as “I Cannot Defeat Airman,” the fan song describes a fruitless campaign to beat the Mega Man 2 boss with a box fan in his chest. It’s a viral video so old that you might’ve encountered it on the forums or at an anime convention tape swap before a YouTube link. A few days shy from its 19th anniversary, McDonald’s summoned the original artists to recreate the video. This time in service of iced coffee. Where…

Carriers routinely retire old plans when launching new ones. While these phased-out options become unavailable to new customers, they are grandfathered in for those already on them. Generally, a carrier won’t boot you from your plan without your consent or at the very least, a heads-up. T-Mobile, however, is doing neither.Moving customers off old plansThe Un-carrier is quietly bumping customers off legacy plans, hiking their monthly rates by up to 60% in the process. Reddit user inspron2, for instance, was shifted from the “Preferred FT 600 NW Reduced price” plan to “Legacy Rate Plan C26ML4999” in April.As a result, their…

In November 2023, we reported on dubious claims made by marketing firm Cox Media Group (CMG) Local Solutions. The company advertised a service called Active Listening on a website that said, “It’s true. Your devices are listening to you” and claimed it could use “voice data” to help advertisers target ads to specific people. Naturally, panic ensued. 404 Media, which initially spotted the website, for instance, wrote that the idea of smartphones listening to people to sell products “may finally be a reality.” A screenshot taken in 2023 from a webpage that CMG has since removed.

Valnet, the self-proclaimed “leading digital media investment company” behind the likes of Polygon, GameRant, OpenCritic, Collider, and over a dozen more gaming, technology, and lifestyle websites, isn’t known for paying its freelance writers well. But new “Pay Per Session” contracts issued to writers and editors at TheGamer on May 21 threaten to break new ground when it comes to click-mill-style exploitation. According to details outlined in TheGamer’s Slack, these new terms, mandated by Valent management, would “reward top-performing articles.” However, Kotaku last learned, based on the details outlined in the newly issued contracts, that the proposed “performance structure” would also…

A rep working at a third-party owned T-Mobile store, known as a TPR store (T-Mobile Premium Retailer) had an interesting question. On Reddit, he wondered how a woman he worked with at this store, and was his manager, got hired by T-Mobile just one week after she was allegedly fired for taking part in a $30,000 fraud. She worked over 6 and a half years for wireless retailer Arch Telecom, which is a T-Mobile preferred retailer, and Sprint.T-Mobile hires former Arch Telecom employee accused of $30K fraud, makes her a manager, gives her a pay raise T-Mobile third-party store. | Image…

SpaceX launched the first test flight of its upgraded Starship rocket and Super Heavy booster Friday, with mostly positive results. The powerful rocket, propelled by 33 methane-fueled main engines, climbed away from SpaceX’s Starbase launch facility in South Texas at 5:30 pm CDT (6:30 pm EDT; 22:30 UTC) Friday. Within a few seconds, the 408-foot-tall (124-meter) rocket, the largest ever built, cleared the launch tower and turned onto an eastward heading over the Gulf of Mexico. Starship splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean a little more than an hour later to conclude the first flight of the latest…

Dead by Daylight is adding Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th fame. The 4v1 asymmetrical horror game has a gallery of villains and monsters that rivals the Funko Pop shelf of any horror-obsessed fan, but it’s featured one glaring omission for years now. The Camp Crystal Lake slasher is finally coming on June 16, Behaviour Interactive has revealed in a new trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YebqRYaTVNg When Dead by Daylight was first coming onto the scene, Jason was already in the process of getting his own game, Illfonic and Gun Media’s Friday the 13th: The Game, and DBD wasn’t yet full of licensed…

Addressing allegations of worker abuse, the Chinese Embassy maintained that Beijing “attaches great importance to protecting the lawful rights and interests of workers and always asks Chinese companies to abide by laws and regulations.” Martínez said she wished the general public better understood these prehistoric animals. “Sharks fall under the class of fish, and because of this, they communicate their experience to us differently than marine mammals.” The human-like eyes and behavior of dolphins and sea lions make it easier for people to project themselves onto them, but it’s harder for people to naturally relate to sharks, Martínez said. Harvested…

At the 2022 Game Awards, Ken Levine debuted the first trailer for Judas, his first game since BioShock Infinite. Filled with scary automatons, body augmentations and a dystopia lined with brass features, no one would have been shocked had it been a space-set sequel to Levine’s famed steampunk series. Not to be confused with the official BioShock sequel in the pipeline, Levine sat down with IGN to explain how Judas will offer something different. “If you ask me to define what a BioShock game is, I couldn’t really even tell you,” says Levine. “It’s slightly alternate history, but still really…
