Jaime Griesemer, a former game designer at original Halo creator Bungie, famously once said that the Halo games consist of “maybe 30 seconds of fun” that are repeated over and over again in new ways with new locations and situations, culminating in hours of familiar enjoyment that doesn’t necessarily repeat itself. The series’ first game, Halo: Combat Evolved , came out 20 years ago this year, and while Bungie has moved onto the Destiny games, and Halo is now run by Microsoft subsidiary 343 Industries, those “30 seconds of fun” haven’t changed much in the four mainline sequels and two spin-off games since. Advertisement This is the moment, at the start of a review for the brand new Halo Infinite , where 343 and Microsoft would surely be hoping for an “Until now, that is…” But…Not really. Instead, Infinite still features the same 30 seconds of fun, just with more potential for variety crammed into that critical half-minute. That’s not to say there’s …

Donald Trump’s new tech company has raised $1 billion from investors, according to a press release from the former president and a report from CNBC. But there’s no way of independently checking whether Trump, a man known for lying about literally everything, has actually been able to secure such a huge sum in a relatively short amount of time. Advertisement “$1 billion sends an important message to Big Tech that censorship and political discrimination must end,” Trump said in a press release . “America is ready for TRUTH Social, a platform that will not discriminate on the basis of political ideology. As our balance sheet expands, TMTG will be in a stronger position to fight back against the tyranny of Big Tech,” Trump continued. Trump first announced back in October that he had started a company called Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which planned to launch a social media platform called Truth Social by the first quarter of 2022. …

If you’d asked a panel of experts 10 years ago what smartphones would look like in a decade, you’d have gotten all kinds of wild responses. Recall that in 2001 the biggest thing in cell phone technology was the Nokia 8250, the chief selling point of which was its colorful display. Instead of black-and-white, this phone’s screen was blue.
