The Pixelbook Go is Google’s Most Affordable Self-Made Chromebook Yet

Google’s has a history of making the most premium and expensive Chromebooks around, but at its Made by Google event, it introduced an affordable Pixelbook Go laptop.

A “thin and light laptop” with reported all-day battery life, the Pixelbook Go comes in just black “and not pink,” but the “not pink” can be ordered at a later date.

It includes a “wavy” bottom for increased grip and has a keyboard promised to be both “comfortable and quiet.”

Unlike Google’s previous convertible Pixelbook or detachable Pixel Slate, this new Chrome OS device is a classic clamshell laptop. From the outside, it looks like an everyday slim 13-inch notebook, that is until you flip it over and reveal its ribbed, washboard-styled bottom.

WWE: RAW and SmackDown Draft Results – Night 2

WWE’s Draft, meant to more definitively split the main roster between USA Network’s Monday Night RAW and FOX’s Friday Night SmackDown, concluded on Monday.

Night 2 saw the likes of Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, and Rusev head to RAW while SmackDown nabbed Brock Lesnar, New Day, Bayley, and Daniel Bryan.

As mentioned back in the Night 1 results, WWE’s two main shows have two separate corporate masters (which have also been turned into on-air “characters” in the form of “executives”) so this Draft, even though it’s the second one this year, is meant to be a more permanent split.

As previously announced, this year the Stadia service will be exclusive to those who purchase the Founder’s Edition. That $130 pack includes a limited-edition night blue controller, Chromecast Ultra, a three-month subscription to Stadia Pro, early access to a Stadia name, and a three-month Buddy Pass of Stadia Pro for a friend.

Once the full service launches in 2020, you’ll be able to play on any supported device without needing to purchase a bundle.

Marvel’s X-Men Relaunch Leaves Us With These 8 Burning Questions

From a brand new mutant nation to the newfound ability to cheat death, the X-Men have entered a very different, very exciting era in the Marvel Universe.

We’ve already broken down everything we know about the new X-Men status quo, but we still have a lot of questions as Marvel prepares to launch its new ongoing titles. There are still major mysteries that need to be solved, and a few things that have left us scratching our heads. With that in mind, these are the biggest questions we have about Marvel’s Dawn of X relaunch.

What’s New To Netflix This Week? Movies, TV, And Originals

It’s getting chilly outside, and why spend your time searching for a jacket when you can stay inside and watch movies and TV shows on Netflix? This week, there are a couple classic movies you’ll want to watch.

Arriving on Thursday, October 17, The Karate Kid arrives. The classic movie follows Daniel, a kid who moves to a new school and finds himself at odds with the school bully who knows karate. Daniel finds his own sensei, and he eventually takes on his bully at a martial arts tournament. The movie holds up exceptionally well, even when you rewatch it as an adult and realize that Daniel isn’t the hero we all remember–he’s kind of a jerk. After you watch The Karate Kid, go check out the YouTube Premium show Cobra Kai following Daniel and Johnny decades later. It’s very, very good. The first two episodes of Season 1 are free to watch.

If you’re in the mood for something a bit scarrier, as we’re in the throws of the Halloween season, you can watch Sinister 2 on Wednesday. The 2015 sequel follows a mother and her two sons who move into a rural house and find a bunch of old movies that show people dying. Of course, this is part of a curse, and now an ancient, supernatural being, wants their souls next.

Below, you’ll find everything headed to Netflix this week. For more streaming news, check out what’s coming Hulu and Amazon Prime Video for the month of October.

Need For Speed Heat Feels Like the Dying Light of Racing Games

Every time a new Need For Speed game comes along I eagerly await to see what the new hook (if I’m being positive) or gimmick (if I’m leaning negative) is this time. For 2017’s Need For Speed Payback that was “action driving”, which initially felt promising, but ultimately failed to deliver. Thankfully this year’s Need for Speed Heat feels different. I’m happy to report that after five hours of hands-on time, the game’s ‘hook’ of day-night switching not only feels refreshing, but also an interesting direction for the series.

When I sampled Need For Speed Heat at Gamescom I was initially concerned about how the day-night switching worked. After all, Payback had introduced a seamless day/night cycle to the series for the first time, and to abandon that after only one outing felt like an odd choice. After more time with the game though, I now understand this decision as not only a game mechanic, but also a unique step in helping mould this games’ character.

X-Men #1 Continues a Thrilling Marvel Epic

Note: This is a spoiler-free advance review of X-Men #1, which will release on Wednesday, October 16. For more on this relaunch, find out everything we know about the X-Men’s new status quo and learn even more about the mutant who changed Marvel history.

It’s been 28 years since the release of a comic titled “X-Men #1” has been cause for so much excitement. This issue isn’t just the beginning of a new monthly series, it’s the next major step in the grand machine that is writer Jonathan Hickman’s X-Men revamp. House of X and Powers of X defined the scope of the X-Men’s new status quo. Now X-Men and the five other titles that comprise the Dawn of X line will begin the next chapter. Just don’t expect this ongoing story to maintain the brisk pace its maintained up till now.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Review

It’s been five years since Angelina Jolie took on the iconic role of Maleficent, reimagining the stylish but one-note villain from Disney’s classic Sleeping Beauty for a whole new generation. Its sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, is a definite step up from the first movie by expanding the story beyond its fairy tale inspiration and bringing in compelling new characters (and actors to play them), though it is held back by pacing issues.

The first movie expanded on the fairy tale by introducing a backstory that saw the horned fairy betrayed by the ambitious and cruel man that she once loved so he could become king, and eventually having her become surrogate mother to Aurora (Elle Fanning). Though you don’t need to have seen the first film to enjoy Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, this sequel gets the audience up to speed from its opening “Once Upon a Time” intro. It follows on directly from the end of that fairytale with Aurora living as the Queen of the Moors (the fairy folk), but both their lives are upended when Prince Phillip (Harris Dickinson) asks Aurora to marry him, setting off a devastating chain of events.
