What are you most excited to see at CES 2025?

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is an annual trade show event that takes place each and every January. Over the years, the show has played host to many notable tech products, both in experimental and ready-to-ship capacities. With 2025 now having kicked off in earnest, big-name brands from across the globe are congregating in one central location: Las Vegas. CES 2025 is set to take place from Tuesday, January 7, through Friday, January 10. This multi-day showcase will undoubtedly be filled with press briefings, product demonstrations, and, naturally, a great deal of media presence. Ahead of its official street date, a number of consumer tech products from within the CES sphere of influence have already been uncovered or pre-announced. These include an all-new LG projector with a novel floor lamp design, a 27-inch 4K OLED Samsung gaming monitor, as well as an uber-affordable duo of smartphones from HMD. For CES 2025, which tech products are you personally most excited to see the

It's 2025. When will GTA VI be released?

When you look at the 2025 games release calendar, you see a lot of TBA, with major titles like Ghost of Yōtei, Borderlands 4, and Death Stranding 2 all curiously lacking a release date. And that's no accident, as every video game maker on planet Earth doesn't want to confirm their release date now, only to accidentally go up against what will surely be the biggest-selling game of the generation: GTA 6. While Rockstar hasn't said anything just yet about when we can expect this game to finally be released, rumors are already flying, especially with many talking about the other big release of the year, the Nintendo Switch 2. With that in mind, I'd love to know what you think: When will GTA 6 actually hit store shelves?

Do you like The Polar Express?

Haters, come at me -- I come from a Polar-Express-stanning household, and unironically, too. It's a beloved film reserved for Christmas Eve every single year, and the uncanny-valley characters are anything but lifeless in my eyes. Years down the road after acquiring an English degree, I've picked apart everything there is to know about the masterpiece movie, from the lack of names to Tom Hanks hiding in every possible corner of every frame. What is it about The Polar Express do people dislike? The forgotten toy train car scene is universally hated -- I know I got nightmares at least one year from it -- but for the time, I felt like it was peak animation. The memes from Travis Scott resemblances to stitching in the Tokyo Drift audio over the frozen lake scene are fantastic, and no one can argue with that.
