The goal is clear: if you’re on your couch, Netflix wants to be involved. And while the streamer still dominates subscription home viewership across television and film globally, it left gaming to its mobile app. Until now.After years of development, Netflix has launched a suite of games that run directly on a television with players using their mobile phones as controllers. The streaming platform has tried to make the experience as social as possible, and its first wave of games includes party-focused titles such as Lego Party!, Tetris Time Warp and the upcoming Dead Man’s Party: A Knives Out Game.To date, this kind of local social gaming has been dominated by the Jackbox Party Pack – launched in 2014 – which offers similar mechanics and mini games across a growing number of volumes.

Photo courtesy of Netflix LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- If French New Wave films sound like boring old foreign movies, then one should really watch a few to see how much fun they can be. Viewers could also check out Nouvelle Vague, in theaters now and on Netflix Friday, which shows what a romp filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard had with cinema. Guillaume Marbeck plays Godard in Nouvelle Vague, which opens in 1959 France. Godard, just shy of 30 years old at the time, dreams of becoming a film director like his colleagues Francois Truffant (Adrien Rouyard) and Claude Chabrol (Antoine Besson). With his debut feature, Breathless, Godard wants to break all the rules, and he does. Even at its most anarchic, Breathle...

As a soundscape genius, producer, and songwriter, Andrew Balfour - better known as Black Sands - has recently released a new single, and fans are loving it. He is an artist best revered for the particular construction of his tracks, the way he seamlessly blends the good in life with the bad, and brings genres together. Previous records of his have sparked listener conversation around the power of his vocals and how he immerses them into the lyrics themselves, swimming in meaning. Titled ‘Down The Road’, this latest song offers us a slight twist on what we are used to from Black Sands. Instead of his classic merge into an upbeat sound following a slower initial tempo, this offers an almost entirely steady beat. It lets us ride the wave of a speaker finding themselves, realising the strength...

I've tried almost all of the mainstream music streaming services now. I've listened to Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, and now Apple Music.I've found replacing Spotify really hard. No other streaming service has as many features — whether that's music discovery, social, or playlist features — but Apple Music has got the closest thus far. I think Apple Music is my new go-to.Three main features have helped me make the switch: 1) Apple Music's live radio, 2) Apple Music's best-in-class Dolby Atmos-powered Spatial Audio, and 3) Apple Music's super-specific year-by-year genre playlists. Slowly, but surely, the Spotify-shaped hole in my heart is closing. You may like 1. Live radio (Image credit: Future / Apple Music)One of my favorite parts of Apple Music is the live radio.

Graphics cards have had a rollercoaster of a journey when it comes to PC gaming. Starting off with simple 2D cards, we went through the 3D accelerator boom in the 90s, and then hurtled toward today’s top GPU silicon, where ray tracing and AI are all part of the mix. Nvidia is now a household name, and PC GPU tech powers all the latest consoles, but which graphics cards have really had the biggest impact over the last few decades? Most of us on Club386 have been PC gamers for a long, long time. We’ve seen (and benchmarked) it all, from 3dfx Voodoo cards to Nvidia Blackwell GPUs today. As such, we thought it would be fun to chart the ten GPUs that still really stand out to us. They’re not necessarily the fastest GPUs from each generation, but the ones that changed the game, had huge stayi...

The artwork for Vesper Sparrow by JJJJJerome Ellis. In JJJJJerome Ellis’s magical compositions, their stutter is a guiding light. Pauses and repetitions spark new life, new ideas, new possibilities, as Vesper Sparrow explores their “dysfluency” in the context of Black musical traditions. The Grenadian-Jamaican-American artist and former Yale lecturer is heady, intellectual company: in the manner of Alvin Lucier, they gently talk the listener through the sonic and political reverberations of their work. “The stutter … (cc)can be a musical instrument,” Ellis announces, before an exhilarating rush of tiny noises – made from hammered dulcimer, flute, piano, voices – fizz into being.To create Vesper Sparrow’s soundscapes of ambient, jazz, spoken word and reimagined gospel, Ellis works with gran...
