• Doom Can Now Be Played In Doom

    As Doom continues to be played on just about every piece of technology available, things have finally gone full circle as someone has now made Doom playable in, well, Doom.

    As spotted by PCGamesN, YouTube user kgsws uploaded a video of himself modding the game into itself, before showing actual gameplay of him playing Doom within Doom on PC.

    The 'inner' Doom replaces a wall within regular Doom and mimics any movements the player makes. By walking right up to it, the inner Doom therefore takes up the full screen and can be played in its entirety before players return to playing the main game.

    While there's obviously not much practical use for this, it's just another fun and ridiculous way players have found to play the classic 1993 shooter. Other recent examples include playing Doom on a McDonald's kiosk, on Twitter, and even a pregnancy test.

    They join a much longer list that includes a LEGO brick, an ATM, a potato-powered calculator, a treadmill, and more.

    For those looking for a more modern and, dare we say, normal way to play Doom, the latest game in the franchise, Doom Eternal, would be a good choice. In our 9/10 review, IGN said: "Whether you're a new Doom fan or a veteran one, Doom Eternal is bound to delight & entertain you. It's gloriously fun."

    Ms. Marvel Just Introduced a Long-Awaited Addition to the MCU

    Superhero fans have been wondering how mutants – and therefore the X-Men – would be introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since Disney purchased Fox in 2019, but that question has finally been answered thanks to the Ms. Marvel series.

    Warning: The following paragraphs include spoilers for the Ms. Marvel Disney+ series.

    Early on in the series we learned that the magic bangle worn by Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel herself, only activated something already within her, and we're later told that she's a djinn, a new type of supernatural being for the MCU.

    In the sixth and final episode, however, Khan and Bruno discuss her genes further before he comments there's something different about her still, "like a mutation".

    While this could still be open to interpretation given how many directions the MCU is currently going, a quick soundbite of the actual X-Men: The Animated Series theme song plays on top of the scene, making it pretty clear that Ms. Marvel is the first stepping stone towards a full mutant and X-Men introduction.

    Marvel hasn't said anything about the X-Men's introduction to the MCU previously but it is focusing resources into the franchise elsewhere with the X-Men '97 series that's coming to Disney+ next year. One of Fox's other major franchises, The Fantastic Four, is being introduced as the final film in Phase 4, perhaps leaving Phase 5 wide open for a full X-Men introduction.

    This would include characters including Wolverine (a role that's currently being pursued by Taron Egerton of the Kingsman franchise), Professor X (that featured briefly in one of the latest Doctor Strange film's alternate universe), and Magneto.

    Amazon Prime Day Deal Still Live: 55″ Sony Bravia XR A80J 4K OLED TV for Under $1K

    For the second half of Prime Day, Amazon has dropped the price on two sizes of the 2021 Sony A80J 4K OLED TV. The 55" model is only $998 and the 77" model is $2399.99. The 55" model is $100 cheaper than LG's 55" C1 model while the price drop on the 77" model brings it to within the same price point as LG's 77" C1 model. That's pretty impressive considering the fact that Sony OLED TVs are usually more expensive than their LG counterparts.

    Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers

    The Sony A80J is a true OLED 4K TV. It boasts unrivalled response times, so ghosting is non-existent. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, OLED TVs offer better image quality, deeper blacks, better contrast ratio, and wider color gamut. Not only does this translate to better gaming, but also better image quality overall, including with 4K HDR content. It also has HDMI 2.1 inputs that support 120Hz refresh rates at 4K resolution. If you own a PS5, Xbox Series X, or a gaming PC with an RTX 30 series video card, you'll have access to games that can run at 4K @ 120Hz, with more supported games coming in the near future. The Sony A80J now supports variable refresh rate (VRR) thanks to a firmware update that was released earlier this year. It's also G-SYNC compatible for PC gamers.

    The Sony A80J uses Google TV for its smart TV experience. Google TV is a more intuitive version of Android TV and works just as well as Roku, Fire TV or Apple TV, even more so if you use an Android phone or tablet.

    Amazon Prime Day Deal: Score a 4-Pack of Apple AirTag Keyfinders for $84.99

    To kick off the back half of Prime Day 2022, Amazon is offering yet another great discount on an Apple product. A 4-pack of practical Apple AirTags keyfinders is available for only $84.99. That's 15% off the original MSRP of $100 and averages out to just over $21 per AirTag.

    Amazon Prime Day Deal: 4-Pack Apple Airtags for $85

    The Apple Airtag is a small coin shaped device that you can put in your wallet or attach to your phones, keys, remote, or anything small enough to be easily misplaced. It works as a little WiFi keyfinder that helps you locate your lost objects by pinging the exact location to your iPhone. In my personal experience, it works more reliably than the Tile keyfinder. At close range, your iPhone will look for the device using Bluetooth 5.0, or Ultra Wideband on newer iPhones. At longer range, the AirTag will actually use every available Apple device in the immediate vicinity to triangulate the exact position of the item at large. That's a lot inadvertent help. This is a very convenient gadget for anyone who already has an iPhone and thends to lose his or her small essentials around the house.

    Amazon Prime Day Deal: 70% Off AirTag Loops

    The AirTag Loop securely and easily fits your AirTag to your bag, backpack, keychain, or anything else that has a loop for this to attach to. It's made out of durable polyurethane and although $29 is a bit much for this, $9 (70% off) is a great price. Three colors are available.
