Valve is making another run at offering a console-style experience in your living room. The company has announced a new Steam Machine and Steam Controller that let you play PC games on your TV in the same way the Steam Deck lets you play them on the go. Better yet, it’s planning to release them both in early 2026.The Steam Machine works like a console, but is technically a compact PC running Linux-based SteamOS. The boxy device features a customizable front plate and LED light strip, with a USB-A port and a microSD card slot available up front, and DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0 and ethernet ports on the back. Inside, the Steam Machine is powered by what Valve describes as a “semi-custom AMD Zen 4” CPU and a “semi-Custom AMD RDNA3 ” GPU with “16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 VRAM” and either 512GB or 2TB ...

Disney and Pixar yesterday released the first teaser trailer for Toy Story 5, the sequel that brings Tom Hanks and Tim Allen back to the roles of Woody and Buzz yet again. The duo will share the screen, but most fans have wondered exactly how that will work out — and the new trailer doesn’t have any clues. For those who have forgotten, Toy Story 4 ended with Woody getting an unexpected happy ending by running off with Bo Peep, striking out on his own without a kid to love him. Fans of the franchise have been mixed on that decision, since Woody of all characters has always been loyal to the human characters, but since that is how the movie ended, fans have wondered what circumstance brings him back to the playroom with Buzz and the rest. The trailer doesn’t provide any hints there. In it, ...

You can think of the just-announced Steam Frame as a wireless VR headset for your PC, or a Steam Deck for your face. But another way to think about it is that Valve is finally entering the mobile realm. The Frame doesn’t just run Windows games on its Arm-based Qualcomm Snapdragon chip — Valve will now support and encourage developers to bring their Android apps to Steam as well.It’ll try to make some of them first-class citizens, too, Valve engineer Jeremy Selan tells The Verge. “From the user’s perspective, our preference is that they don’t even have to think about it, they just have their titles on Steam, they download them and hit play.”Valve says the Steam Frame can use the same Android APKs developers already use to bring their apps to phones and Android-based VR headsets such as the ...

When people think of the funniest movies they've ever seen, their minds tend to go to the best reviewed and most iconic comedy movies ever made. Those are the ones that everybody loves, so the really interesting thing to consider is the funniest films that have flown under the radar. These are the comedy movies that aren't iconic, are smaller indie projects, and even some that didn't receive good reviews but are still just downright funny. In one case, it's even a negatively received comedy sequel that's funnier than people realize. Regardless, all of these films are worth checking out for a great laugh. Role Models (2008) ...

Singer worked with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund on the euphoric dance number At long last, Robyn has returned. The Swedish dance-pop genius is back with “Dopamine,” her first original solo single since 2018’s Honey. The buoyant song was produced by her longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund. Like the best of Robyn’s catalog, “Dopamine” is a euphoric dance floor banger that pulsates with a hypnotic beat. In the Marili Andre-directed video, the singer dances her way through the high and the rain. “Everyone has a phone where they see their heart rate, and we’re learning how to decode our emotions through the hormones and chemical substances in our bodies,” she said in a statement. “It’s almost like we don’t even accept that we’re human anymore, like we’re trying ...

Fiscal-year results for 2025 at Aristocrat Leisure were “relatively in line … although divisionally mixed,” according to Jefferies Equity Research analyst Kai Erman. He shared his views in a pair of investor notes, filed November 11 and 12. Aristocrat’s social-casino warhorse, Product Madness, came out ahead of expectations. This, Erman said, offset other online underperformances. There were also 1,611 installations of leased machines that “should draw attention,” per the Jefferies analyst. Outright sales of gambling devices stood at 13,400, including what appeared to be a strong United States performance. Erman attributed the latter to better Aristocrat market share and especially to product launches, such as the Baron line of cabinets. Following the November 11 earnings call, Erman revis...
