Mario has always been a lovable, carefree character who never holds a grudge against even his greatest adversaries. He’s always willing to go for a round of golf, play some tennis, race around the track, and party with friends and foes alike. The Mario Party series is what kicked off this trend of the cast of Mario getting together to compete in a board game-style competition. While it seemed like a strange departure when the first game came out for a series so focused on running and jumping to spin off into a turn-based game with dice rolling, it turned…

Yesterday, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he has no intention of banning cryptocurrencies. It’s unclear whether the unelected monetary body would have that authority in the first place.“The Fed chair is not so sure what he wants to say,” Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said this morning on CoinDesk TV’s “First Mover.” That feeling might apply evenly across the entire U.S. government, Emmer suggested.According to Emmer, who co-chairs the Congressional Blockchain Caucus with Rep. Bill Foster (D-Ill.), cryptocurrency has emerged as a citizen’s rights issue, a potential revenue source and a perennial nuisance for a government still trying to…
If it feels like we’ve talked at length about how just important Black people are to the video game industry, it’s only because there are still many people who need to learn this lesson. Despite what lackluster representation may suggest, Black folks form a vital part of the culture both as players and creators. In fact, the video game industry as we know it would not exist without the groundbreaking work of African-American engineer Jerry Lawson. You’d think a pioneer as peerless as Lawson would be as famous as Shigeru Miyamoto or Gabe Newell by now, but only recently has Jerry’s…

For the first time ever, T-Mobile is America’s Fastest Mobile Network. Our 2021 drive tests took us to 30 cities and traveled 10,000 miles, and we found that T-Mobile’s mid-band 5G network is the only 5G that makes a difference right now. If you haven’t gotten on the T-Mobile 5G train, it is definitely time to jump on board.The carrier’s new mid-band 5G network now covers more than 165 million people, according to T-Mobile, and it’s targeting 200 million by the end of the year. You’ll need a new 5G phone to take advantage of the network, though, and that’s…
Now that you’ve chosen AT&T as your carrier, it’s time to pick a phone. Choices are broader than ever, as AT&T has largely gotten rid of phone subsidies. Most people still buy their phones from their carrier with the help of monthly payment plans or fast-upgrade plans such as AT&T Next Up. But there’s no overall cost penalty to buying an unlocked phone anymore, and AT&T supports more unlocked devices than any other US carrier. That puts a lot of choices at your fingertips, so we’re here to help narrow them down.AT&T placed second in our Fastest Mobile Networks tests…
We put dozens of phones a year through rigorous testing in PC Labs to find out which ones live up to their ad copy and which are just phoning it in. If you’re buying a phone on Verizon right now, these are the best you can get.Verizon fell to third place in our Fastest Mobile Networks results, but that could just be a blip. The carrier is retrenching before a big rollout of C-band 5G next year, which could help it catch up to the performance of T-Mobile’s mid-band 5G network. At the moment, Verizon’s “5G UW” is an odd…
The launch of Diablo II: Resurrected did not exactly go to plan, as a host of server issues and bugs made the game nearly unplayable at launch. A couple of quickly-released patches and server-side improvements have since made the game playable, but it’s still suffering from a host of issues and some missing features. One of the things players have been looking for an update on was ladder play (Diablo’s name for a competitive Realm where everybody’s progress is tracked and ranked). Blizzard warned ladder wouldn’t be available at launch, but there was hope it would be introduced relatively quickly.…
