Apple VR / AR Headset Reportedly in Development
Apple is reportedly planning on jumping into the VR and AR headset wars, according to Bloomberg, which cites people familiar with the company’s plans.
Apple plans to release a standalone VR and AR headset by 2021 or 2022, Bloomberg reports, with the devices aiming to focus on gaming, watching video content, and enabling virtual meetings. Apple reportedly intends to release a pair of AR glasses as early as 2023 as well.
Where’s this technology stemming from? The 2020 iPad Pro will feature an additional camera, plus what Bloomberg describes as a “small hole” that helps enable a 3D system. Apple also plans to implement the 3D system on iPhones later in 2020, where they’ll be paired with a 5G network. The 3D sensor system is described as a more advanced version of Apple’s Face ID sensor.
Death Stranding Pizza Tips: There’s A Good Reason To Deliver Pizza
In Death Stranding, you’ll find yourself delivering all sorts of items for the strange and eccentric survivors in Hideo Kojima’s post-apocalyptic world. Whether it’s bringing classic game consoles to the Collector or delivering well-aged wine to those in the furthest reaches of the map, you’ll be putting in the leg work to ensure you can form bonds with the many characters you’ll come to know. However, there’s one especially strange series of deliveries that’s worth taking the time for.
In Episode 3, you’ll eventually get an optional order in Lake Knot City asking you to deliver a pizza. Shipping to Peter Englert, a prepper in the west, you’ll have to bring the hot item to his shelter in under an hour–even less if you choose to take on the premium delivery challenge. Once you deliver the cargo, you actually won’t speak to him directly, the terminal’s automated system will take care of the handoff. Once that’s done, you’ll eventually get a follow-up message from Peter thanking you for the pizza. Later on, the mystery man will send you an email asking for another one, this time, presenting clues on where to find the pizza, which you’ll need to deliver in the same fashion.
What makes delivering pizzas in Death Stranding a bit of challenge is that it is sensitive cargo that must be stacked horizontally at all times. The worst thing you can do to a box of pizza is to place it on its side, and in Death Stranding, that will cause it significant damage. To ensure that you can keep the item safe and sound, always make sure that you have items in your backpack before placing it into your inventory. If you have a full set of cargo in your backpack, the pizza will stack on top of it. Also, avoid using the auto-arrange feature when carrying pizza. While this feature can come in handy most of the time, it will ignore requirements for sensitive cargo to optimize the layout for Sam’s inventory. This means that it will more than likely pack the pizza vertically to make space. If you want to avoid messing with your inventory, grab a truck and place the pizza inside its cargo hold–instant pizza delivery truck!
These missions may seem like an odd diversion and a waste of time, but if you stick with it, you’ll come to find this questline has a somewhat surprising payoff. In total, there are about four different pizza delivery missions throughout the game. Eventually, you’ll be able to learn more about the identity of Peter Englert, and just what’s inside of his shelter. Once you complete Episode 10, you’ll be able to return to Peter’s shelter and find the door wide open. For the sake of spoilers, we won’t reveal what’s inside. However, we can say it’s a satisfying discovery which adds a lot to the overall plot. But if you’re looking for a more tangible reward, completing all the pizza delivery missions will open up special upgrades for Sam’s firearms, allowing him to fire rounds made from chiralium.

Netflix: Klaus Review
This is a spoiler-free review of Klaus, which premieres Friday, November 15 on Netflix. It is currently in limited theatrical release.
In a climate where most holiday stories have already been told and retold, Klaus, from Sergio Pablos (Despicable Me), stands out nicely as a unique and sweet original piece of Christmastime animation. For those looking for something new to show their kids this season, or just enjoy children-free even, it’s a stylish and darkly humored take on Santa lore.
Featuring the voices of Jason Schwartzman, J.K. Simmons, Rashida Jones, and Joan Cusack, Klaus dabbles in a handful of family film cliches, but they’re all mixed up inside an original fable involving a rich, spoiled postal academy student named Jesper (Schwartzman) getting banished to the distant Nordic town of Smeerenburg where his only way out is to get the townsfolk to send six thousand letters in a year’s time.
5 HBO’s Watchmen Theories From Season 1, Episode 4
5. Who is Doctor Manhattan?
And lastly, here’s a real left-field theory from Reddit: what if Cal, Angela’s husband, is Doctor Manhattan in disguise? Laurie, who dated Manhattan and has a big, blue vibrator, finds Cal to be “f***ing hot.” He seems reserved and quiet in the way Manhattan was. He appeared to be clock-watching on the eve of the White Night, as if he knew something bad would happen (or maybe he really was looking forward to presents).
Dig deeper, and there’s some meta, more circumstantial evidence. Cal sounds a lot of Kal-El, the Kryptonian name of Superman (who Doctor Manhattan was inspired by). And during the car scene when Angela, Laurie, and Petey are traveling to Trieu HQ, Laurie casually remarks that “[her ex] is no Cal,” which could read very differently upon future rewatches if he actually is.
It’s probably not true; to borrow Lady Trieu’s turn of phrase, it’s “too cute by half.” But this theory joins a long line of “Is X Character Doctor Manhattan?” speculation. Will’s suggestion in the second episode–that Doctor Manhattan could possibly change his appearance to look like someone else–has led fans to believe that he’s hiding in plain sight.
Dawn of X: Fallen Angels #1 Advance Review
Note: this is a spoiler-free advance review for Fallen Angels #1, which will hit stores on Wednesday, November 13.
With the release of Fallen Angels #1, Marvel’s initial Dawn of X lineup is now complete. It’s impressive not just how neatly these six books intermingle, but how high the overall standard of quality is. Fallen Angels may not strictly be the most necessary X-book in terms of plot or world building, but it does add compelling new wrinkles to an already fascinating status quo.
Fallen Angels is another example of a Dawn of X book dusting off a classic title but applying a very different take. In this case, Fallen Angels only really shares a basic premise with the short-lived 1987 book of the same name. This, too, is a story about mutant outsiders struggling to find their place. In the era of Krakoa, the true outsiders are those mutants who can’t accept a peaceful life in the new mutant nation. In particular, the book revolves heavily around Kwannon and her struggle to recover her autonomy and independence after years of having her body hijacked by Betsy Braddock.
