Is there anything quite like the summer game reveal season? First with E3 and now with Summer Game Fest and all the associated publisher-led events, early June is the time when the industry shows off its biggest games. As players, it’s also the time when we set absolutely unrealistic expectations and have our hopes crushed underfoot. We all have our perpetual picks for a game we hope to see, but know that we probably won’t. For a long time the classic example was Hollow Knight: Silksong, a game that became so notorious for fan hype and a disappointing no-show that…

I asked the College Board if this theory could be true. A spokesperson disputed that any student’s SSN would have been shared with Columbia via an opt-in program called “Student Search.” Prior to 2018, when SSNs stopped being shared entirely, the College Board confirmed that the “only circumstance” in which it would have shared my SSN was if I had requested that my SAT scores be sent to Columbia, something I never did. My frustration grew over four months of dead ends, until I had finally emailed Columbia enough times that it agreed to tell me what was really going…

EA Sports is lifting the curtain on both of its American football games, Madden 27 and College Football. Both games will offer plenty of new features both on and off the field, with a major College Football being the ability to customize your team’s home stadium in Teambuilder. Part of that stadium-customizing experience is through a new audio suite for your school’s fight music, and with that new tool, EA College Football will be digging into the EA vault for inspiration. Eight tracks from past EA titles have been re-recorded with a marching band, and will be included among iconic…

Some tech giants, including Microsoft, OpenAI, and Oracle, have made statements in recent months indicating that they are moving away from evaporative cooling entirely in order to save water. That includes OpenAI and Oracle’s massive Stargate expansion in a number of states, including a water-stressed region of Texas. Google is taking a different approach. On Wednesday, the company rolled out a series of water-related commitments to communities where it has data centers, along with funding announcements for water-related projects in the US. They include pledges to replenish more freshwater than the company consumes, via investments in local water projects; to…

The NFL would prefer a calendar that is never truly football-free, and one thing keeping the league in the spotlight during the otherwise quiet month of June is the annual reveal of the next Madden. This year, Madden NFL 27 is following one of the series’ best efforts in a long, long time, though last year’s game also took some hits as time went on and updates didn’t address issues–or even made things worse in some cases. Madden 27 is clearly made with this community feedback in mind, featuring several changes that address specific complaints and popular requests. We’ve rounded…

“Over the life of the mission, MAVEN supported more than 8 percent of all of our relay sessions planned by our rovers and landers, but it accounted for nearly 18 percent of all of the data returned, illustrating its usefulness when returning large data volumes,” said Tiffany Morgan, director of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. The network still has plenty of capacity to support the Perseverance and Curiosity rovers, with some minor caveats. “We do have remaining assets, and those assets have adjusted the amount of data that they return, and the rovers have also adjusted their planning for how they…

The clock is ticking down toward the all-digital T-Mobile, expected to start August 1. On that date, the carrier will remove access to legacy systems for all consumer upgrades and transactions that add a line to an account.

I am hyped for God of War Laufey and I am tickled to death by all the edits of Faye air-juggling monsters while her husband and son tearfully mourn over her corpse. But it’s time to put all the funny new memes aside for a moment to have a real conversation. I really hope we don’t see Kratos again in God of War Laufey. He made a brief cameo in the 20-minute gameplay presentation that capped off PlayStation’s State of Play event this week. And though his name is more or less still in the marquee, his appearance in Laufey…
