While I like the comparative groundedness of Tiberian Dawn, Command and Conquer 2 could be the best-looking game in the entire Westwood series. The bright, bold colors. The laser weapons. The mechs. Red Alert 2 also leaps off the screen, but Tiberian Sun finds this gorgeous middle ground between grim post-apocalyptica and C&C’s trademark high sci-fi. It’s a good time for RTS games right now. Tempest Rising is a worthy successor to the genre’s greatest classics and Age of Empires 2 just got a new expansion. But Fractured Alliance, from Tense Games, feels like the closest in spirit to the true old-school, and now we have details on its third faction.

If you’re looking to buy a new mechanical gaming keyboard, then this is a deal you won’t want to miss. The acclaimed Corsair K70 RGB Pro is currently the subject of a serious deal, enabling you to save a colossal $70 on the usual price of $169.99, bringing it down to just $99.99. Trust me when I say you won’t regret taking advantage of this bargain – I’ve been using a Corsair K70 in various guises for over a decade, and it’s the best keyboard I’ve ever owned. With its premium aluminum frame, we praised this keyboard’s "fantastic build quality" in our Corsair K70 RGB Pro review, but described its price as "hard to swallow," and that criticism has been dealt a swift blow with this current price reduction. Meanwhile, the handy volume control roller on the top right of this Corsair keyboard makes it easy to quickly change the volume of your music or game with a simple finger flick, which is much better than having to twist a knob or, worse, push buttons up and down.

Before the age of generative AI, I used to rely on Google search whenever I had to travel. I'd look up information about the neighborhood I was staying in, load public transit sites, and read about local attractions I might want to visit. All of this took quite a while, and I'd end up saving information from my searches so I could revisit it later. That included screenshots, which I'd sometimes forget about. Now that AI chatbots exist, I simply go to ChatGPT and ask all the questions I have about a new place I'm visiting. The best example is using ChatGPT Deep Research to plan an efficient trip to Tokyo after I attended the marathon. I say "efficient" because I wanted to see as much as possible while also giving my legs time to recover. Fast access to public transit, short walking distances, and grouping attractions by neighborhood were top priorities. I also had separate chats with ChatGPT about local transit, airports, shopping, internet access, and everything else I needed to know about Tokyo before I arrived. All of them were neatly saved in a folder inside ChatGPT, which I kept coming back to on my iPhone and Mac. This new system saved me a lot of time compared to the old Google search-based travel planning. There's no question I'll use a chatbot like ChatGPT every time I plan a trip. But one thing was missing from my Tokyo museum planning chat with ChatGPT: navigation. At the end of the day, I still had to copy and paste addresses from ChatGPT into Google Maps, my go-to navigation app on my iPhone. I know it's a first-world problem, having to switch between two apps to enjoy my travels. Still, it's a nuisance. Thankfully, there's a fix for that, and it's coming from Google Gemini. Google Maps just got a smart new AI feature that I'll use every time I plan a trip with ChatGPT. Thanks to Gemini, Google Maps can now understand screenshots and extract location information from them. Continue reading...
