If you're looking for a larger capacity magsafe power bank with the faster Qi2 charging standard, then Amazon's limited time deal today is just what you need. The Baseus Picogo 10,000mAh Qi2-certified power bank is on sale today for $25.99 after an extra 40% off coupon code "748WX3ST". Retail price is $70 but I generally see this power bank sell for about $42-$45. Baseus makes solid power banks and I recommend them as a less expensive alternative to Anker.
The Baseus Picogo 10,000mAh power bank measures 4" by 2.7". It's about 0.5" thick making it one of the thinner MagSafe chargers. It's a bit hefty at 6 ounces, but that's an unavoidable tradeoff for the increased 10,000mAh battery capacity.
This model has been updated with the newer Qi2/MagSafe standard, which means it can deliver up to 15W of wireless charging, double the rate of the first generation's 7.5W of inductive charging. When you need even faster charging, a USB Type-C port offers up to 27W of Power Delivery.
A 10,000mAh power bank carries an 37Wh capacity. An 80% power efficiency rating (which is about standard for power banks) gives you about 30Whr of available charge. An iPhone 17 has a 14Wh battery and an iPhone 17 Pro has a 20Whr battery, so this battery will give you somewhere between 1.5-2x full charges. Most magsafe batteries have a 5,000mAh capacity, which means you'll barely get a single charger (and probably even less).

The developer behind Dispatch — the superhero game that's censored on Nintendo Switch — has said it is "legally unable" to explain why it can't launch an unedited version of its game in specific regions — as CD Projekt Red did with Cyberpunk 2077.
Dispatch maker AdHoc Studio previously referenced Cyberpunk 2077 by name when discussing the development of Dispatch's Switch edition, and said it had "initially assumed" its game would also be able to feature similarly "uncensored mature content." Instead, AdHoc continued, "during the porting process it became clear that was not the case."
"This is the key point," AdHoc added. "Nintendo has content guidelines. Our game didn't meet those guidelines, so we made changes that would allow us to release on their platform. That's what happened here. Honestly we thought this would be obvious since we're the devs that released the fully uncensored version of the game on other platforms."
While AdHoc has stated that this explanation was obvious, it has not been able to explain why Cyberpunk 2077 released unedited in most countries around the world, while Dispatch did not. Indeed, many fans have called for Dispatch to get the same treatment, with a censored version released in Japan, where the country's strict rating board has been blamed for not allowing the game to launch unedited.
Now, AdHoc has responded on this point too — if only to say it is prohibited from explaining the situation in more detail.
"AdHoc is legally unable to provide further comment on why separate SKUs were not possible for different regions," the company said in a statement to GoNintendo, adding that there was "no possibility" for an uncensored physical edition either, and that it had no physical edition plans to announce.
Last week, fans were shocked to discover that hit superhero game Dispatch had been censored on Nintendo Switch — where enormous black boxes cover nudity and even a character raising their middle finger. While an option to hide these already existed on other platforms, on Switch it is enforced by default, and cannot be toggled off.
Yesterday, AdHoc apologized to fans and said it that its own disclaimer on the changes should have been more visible, and said fans had a right to be "pissed."

To celebrate the big football game on February 8, Sonos is kicking off a sitewide sale that takes up to 20% off some its best selling speakers. For a limited time, the Sonos Era 100 smart speaker has dropped from $219 to $179, a savings of 20%. You also get shipping with estimate delivery by February 5.
The Era 100 is Sonos' most popular and most versatile speaker. It's similar in profile and specs to the Move 2, but without the internal battery (and less expensive by nearly 50%). Despite its compact size, the Era 100 houses two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amplifiers to produce precise, distortion-free audio even at high volumes. It has a built-in microphone for smart functionality. Because of its flexibility, it's often paired with a sound bar or a second Era speaker.
This deal is part of a larger sale that runs through Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine's Day. After all, a gorgeous new 4K TV upgrade feels incomplete without a great sounding, room filling home theater system. If you're like most people and don't look forward to the task of setting up, positioning, and pairing your speakers, then that's where Sonos comes in. Its products offer excellent sound in a compact package with super easy DIY setup.

If you were to purchase a standalone Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card today, you'd be paying $3,000 or more. Why not just get a complete RTX 5090 prebuilt gaming PC for a similar price? HP is currently offering its flagship OMEN 45L RTX 5090 gaming PC for as low as $3,460 with free delivery. This is by far the least expensive RTX 5090 prebuilt right now; everything else is closer to $5,000 and up.
Follow the directions below to properly configure this system
Follow the directions below to properly configure this PC:
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has emerged as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Although with this generation Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to improve gameplay performance, the 5090 still boasts an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090 in hardware-based raster performance. If you want the absolute best performance for your gaming PC, there is literally no other option from any other brand.
The OMEN 45L is HP's roomiest chassis with plenty of cooling in the form of four 120mm fans for system airflow and an additional 240mm or 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution for the CPU enclosed in its own "Cryo Chamber" at the top of the case. This PC is equipped with a generous 1,200W 80Plus Gold power supply and current-gen components like an Intel Z790 motherboard, Kingston FURY DDR5-6000MHz RGB memory modules, and a WD Black M.2 SSD. The chassis itself looks great with its blend of steel and tempered glass and RGB lighting. Although it certainly exudes a very premium feel, it doesn't scream "gamer" like some other PC cases.

Amazon has produced yet another brilliant Pokémon TCG deal ready for the weekend, and it's once again on the latest Mega Evolution set, Phantasmal Flames.
While celebrating the launch of Ascended Heroes (albeit being a staggered release), it's a mighty bit of fresh air to finally get some reasonable prices on boosters for the popular Mega Charizard X sporting set from last year.
We've now got the best price ever on Phantasmal Flames' Booster Bundles, which are now just $43.13 at Amazon. These had previously gone out of stock the last time I covered, but are now back at an even lower price.
While stock lasts, at least, as this is such an excellent deal, and below market price, I fully expect these to fly off the digital shelves.
According to marketplaces like TCGPlayer, certain Phantasmal Flames cards have already skyrocketed further in price, and, following up from our Mega Evolution round-up, we’ve ranked the ten most expensive cards so far just above.
From aggressive Mega attackers to powerful evolution support, Phantasmal Flames brings a fiery mix of competitive threats and high-demand pulls.

Our February IGN First "cover story" kicks off right now with Mouse: P.I. for Hire! Enjoy 12 minutes of exclusive gameplay from the upcoming rubberhose-animated first-person shooter starring Troy Baker as the titular rodent detective Jack Pepper. This gameplay is from Vaudeville, the second mission of the campaign and the first case Jack gets assigned. We'll have more exclusive coverage all February long as part of IGN First!
Mouse: P.I. for Hire casts you as the aforementioned private investigator Jack Pepper, moving through its 1930s-era, hand-drawn, black-and-white cartoon world with an array of appropriately cartoony guns in hand to get the job done when talking just won't cut it. Watch the exclusive gameplay below, and check out the original reveal trailer and our first preview if you haven't seen them already.
Mouse: P.I. for Hire will be released on March 19 for PC, PlayStation platforms, Xbox platforms, and Nintendo Switch platforms. Wishlist it on Steam if you're interested.

If you're seeking the absolute best of the best in PC gaming performance, look no further than Alienware's flagship Area-51 prebuilts. Following CES 2026, Dell has discounted an Alienware Area-51 AMD Ryzen X3D Edition RTX 5090 gaming PC to $5,049.99 after a $600 discount. The Ryzen X3D Edition is essentially the second generation version of the Area-51 with a more powerful CPU replacement from AMD instead of Intel.
The Alienware Area-51 is Dell's flagship gaming PC. Unveiled during last year's CES, the Area-51 is a super-sized upgrade to the mainstream Aurora R16 system. The significantly larger chassis features more premium build quality and a redesigned cooling system with greater net airflow. In fact, this is the only model that Dell feels comfortable enough to equip with the hot and power hungry GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card. The first wave of Area-51 systems featured Intel CPUs exclusively, with AMD X3D options only available since late November.
This particular configuration is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, 32GB or DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Additional system details include a 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling system for the CPU and a massive 1,500W 80Plus Platinum power supply that allows plenty of headroom for future upgrades.
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is considered to be one of the best gaming processors on the market and outperforms any Intel or AMD non-X3D chip in games thanks to AMD's 3D-V-Cache technology.
Although the 9800X3D is an absolute speed demon for gaming, it only has eight cores. If you regularly use your PC for non-gaming applications that benefit from as many cores as possible, then you can upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-core processor, which doubles the core count while offering similar gaming performance, for an additional $300.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has emerged as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Although with this generation Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to improve gameplay performance, the 5090 still boasts an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090 in hardware-based raster performance. If you want the absolute best performance for your gaming PC, there is literally no other option from any other brand.

Valentine's Day is just a couple of weeks away, and if you're looking for a fun gift idea that you can experience with your favorite person, a co-op game is always a great pick. Split Fiction is one worth considering - we called it an "expertly crafted co-op adventure" in our review, after all - but what's even better is the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions are currently on sale for $37.49 at Walmart. This deal saves you just over $10 compared to their list price.
I'm a big fan of Split Fiction, but I'm certainly not alone. To continue on from our review, IGN's Luke Reilly said it's "a rollercoaster of gameplay ideas and styles that are usually discarded as quickly as they’re introduced. This keeps it fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration."
He continued on to say that, "With no idea sticking around long enough to get stale before making way for the next, it’s a victory of imagination and restraint in equal measure. Hazelight may have been rewriting the co-op rule book for a decade now, but Split Fiction is a new chapter that you (and a partner) cannot miss."
On top of all that praise from the review, it also earned runner-up spots in our awards lists of the best action-adventure game of 2025 and best Xbox game of 2025. It's even included in our list of the best Nintendo Switch 2 games. As you can see, we're very big fans in general. So why not scoop it up now while it's enjoying this nice discount?
If you're curious what other co-op games are worth playing over Valentine's Day, check out our rundown of the 10 best co-op games for even more ideas. This list also features Hazelight's previous release, It Takes Two, which is an equally delightful addition to your library.

Veteran role-playing game maker Obsidian Entertainment has no plans to continue The Outer Worlds with a third game, the studio has confirmed.
As part of a Bloomberg interview, Obsidian revealed that last year's The Outer Worlds 2 had underperformed, and a sequel is not in development. Avowed, the company's other blockbuster RPG released last year, also missed its targets — but Obsidian reportedly still has plans for more from its world of Eora, the same setting as Pillars of Eternity.
On a more positive note, Grounded 2 — yet another 2025 launch — was a hit. But of the three, it had the shortest (and almost certainly the cheapest) development period by far. Grounded 2 took just over two years to meet its early access launch, compared to the more than six years required for both Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2.
In 2025, Xbox trumpeted the fact that Obsidian was about to launch three games in just eight months, with Avowed hitting in February, Grounded 2 launching in early access in July, and The Outer Worlds 2 arriving in October. But the effort was "the result of things going wrong," studio design director Josh Sawyer has now said — and something that is unlikely to be repeated.
"Spacing those releases helps the company manage its resources and not burn everybody out," Sawyer told Bloomberg. "It's not good to release three games in the same year. It's the result of things going wrong."
Famously, Avowed began life as a multiplayer game with ambitions to be a cross between The Elder Scrolls and Destiny, before its online co-op was stripped out and the project was rebooted. It then took a while to steady the ship, though the arrival of Carrie Patel as its director saw the game on a smoother path — albeit some three years into the project.
As for The Outer Worlds 2's prolonged development, Bloomberg's report simply states that the project was made more difficult by the pandemic and technical challenges. Now, Obsidian's focus is reportedly fixed on ensuring games can be made on shorter development timelines, with releases more spaced out, and with as generous a profit margin from Microsoft as they can get away withmuster.
"I don't think anybody really likes five-, six-, seven-year dev cycles," noted Brandon Adler, who served as director on The Outer Worlds 2. "We've kind of grown into that."
Referencing Microsoft's eye-opening 30% profit-margin target for some Xbox studios, Obsidian boss Feargus Urquhart said he hoped the company still continued to fund riskier projects and accepted that "maybe where we are going to be from a profitability standpoint isn't going to be 30%."
Obsidian is yet to announce its next project, following 2025's exhaustive release schedule. Work on Grounded 2 continues, of course, and it sounds like Eora will be returned to. (Avowed will also launch for PlayStation 5 later this month.) As for what else might be in the pipeline, time will tell.
"I know everyone on the internet, on every game we ever announce, will constantly reference back to, 'When's the next New Vegas?'" Obsidian's VP of operations Marcus Morgan said last year, referencing the studio's beloved Fallout game that's served as the inspiration for the hit Amazon TV series' second season setting. Well, it's a good question.

Is Faces of Death a cult classic? It definitely fits the “cult” part, but I’m not sure if this seedy “horror movie” ever graduated to classic status. In any case, Faces of Death is getting a collector’s edition in the form of a Blu-ray steelbook. It’s up for preorder now (see it at Amazon) for $39.98 and is set to release March 5.
This collector’s edition is a new release of the original 1978 film, directed by John Alan Schwartz. The movie is presented as a documentary hosted by the fictional Dr. Francis B. Gröss, who shares videos of death and destruction with the audience. Some of the human and animal deaths depicted are real, while others are fake.
According to Wikipedia, “Approximately 60% of the film was real footage bought from news stations, medical researchers, witnesses of the Flight 182 crash, graphic war footage, deleted footage from other documentaries, and/or filmed by the actual crew in morgues or on a beach.” The rest is fake, including one scene in which the director himself plays the leader of a flesh-eating cult.
I was a teenager in the 1990s – a simpler time. This was before cameras were recording everything, and also before a curious person could navigate to the dark underbelly of the internet to see gross videos. In other words, many people had never seen anyone die.
For my friends and me, Faces of Death was a series of VHS tapes that offered just that. Each installment was a collection of otherwise unrelated videos of people and/or animals meeting their doom in a variety of ways. The footage was often grainy, the camera work unstable. Even if it wasn't all real, it definitely felt real, and it was ugly. Watching Faces of Death made you feel bad.
But you were also sort of intrigued. You definitely watched it with friends, and it was like a game of chicken: you didn’t want to be the first to lose your nerve and turn it off. The movie had a cultish, morbid, grotesque air to it. The marketing boasted that it was "banned in 46 countries." Even though I now know some of it is fake, it's still wild to me to see it getting a steelbook collector's edition.
Does the movie still hold its awful power in 2026? I don't know, but I suspect it does. Death is always a shocking and horrific thing. In any case, I have no intention of finding out – I'm never going to watch this movie again.
Faces of Death is very much a product of its pre-internet time. But pop culture is cyclical, and so it’s no surprise that a 2026 remake is in the works. It stars Barbie Ferreira and Charli XCX. We'll see if the sordid brand can still pull an audience to a movie that will surely be a much different beast than the original.

Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D'Amaro will officially succeed Bob Iger to become The Walt Disney Company's next Chief Executive Officer on March 18, 2026.
The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors and its chairman, James Gorman, shared the news, saying D'Amaro will step into this new role at the upcoming Annual Meeting on March 18. D'Amaro will also be appointed as a director of the board immediately following the meeting.
“Josh D’Amaro is an exceptional leader and the right person to become our next CEO,” said Robert A. Iger, CEO, The Walt Disney Company. “He has an instinctive appreciation of the Disney brand, and a deep understanding of what resonates with our audiences, paired with the rigor and attention to detail required to deliver some of our most ambitious projects. His ability to combine creativity with operational excellence is exemplary and I am thrilled for Josh and the company.”
D'Amaro, who has been with the company for 28 years, is the "architect of the largest expansion in Disney Experiences' history, and has led the segment to new heights financially, creatively, and in guest satisfaction." As Disney Experiences Chairman, he oversaw 185,000 cast members and the largest business segment at The Walt Disney Company with annual revenue of $36 billion in FY2025.
D'Amaro has served as Chairman of the Disney Experiences segment since 2020, and he previously held the roles of President of Disneyland Resort and President of Walt Disney World Resort. He was also a key figure in the development of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, Avengers Campus, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, and World of Frozen.
He was also spearheading such future projects as the Monsters Inc.-themed land at Hollywood Studios, the new Avatar destination at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom's Cars-themed Piston Peak National Park area and the upcoming Villains-themed land.
“I am immensely grateful to the Board for entrusting me with leading a company that means so much to me and millions around the world,” said Josh D’Amaro. “Disney’s strength has always come from our people and the creative excellence that defines our stories and experiences. There is no limit to what Disney can achieve, and I am excited to work with our teams across the company and brilliant creative partners to honor Disney’s remarkable legacy while continuing to innovate, grow, and deliver exceptional value for our consumers and shareholders. I also want to express my gratitude to Bob Iger for his generous mentorship, his friendship, and the profound impact of his leadership.”
Alongside D'Amaro's appointment, the board announced that Dana Walden, Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment, will become The Walt Disney Company's President and Chief Creative Officer. As Co-Chairman, Walden "led Disney’s world-renowned, award-winning entertainment media, news, and content businesses globally, including Disney’s streaming businesses."
This appointment is also a historic one, as Walden will be the first female president of The Walt Disney Company. She will report to D'Amaro and "ensure that storytelling and creative expression across every audience touchpoint consistently reflect the brand, engage audiences at scale, and advance core business objectives, while driving enterprise-wide initiatives and translating vision into action."
“Dana Walden is an excellent leader who commands tremendous respect from the creative community,” Iger said. “Given that creativity is at the heart of everything Disney does, she is a wonderful choice to serve in this new leadership role. In the years since Dana joined Disney, she has accumulated great knowledge about the many facets of our businesses and brands, and is very well prepared to be President and Chief Creative Officer.”
As for Iger, he has mentored these candidates and will continue on as a Senior Advisor and a member of the Disney Board until his retirement from The Walt Disney Company on December 31, 2026.
Iger served as The Walt Disney Company's CEO from 2005 - 2020, but he was reinstated in 2022 after the board dismissed then-CEO Bob Chapek.
“I am incredibly proud to step away at a moment when Disney’s future has never been brighter,” continued Iger. “I’m confident Disney will continue to innovate and put the spirit of Walt at the heart of everything it does – from its new park in Abu Dhabi to the groundbreaking partnerships just announced with OpenAI and the NFL, to the countless upcoming creative projects that will enthrall audiences around the world. Disney has shaped who I am as a leader, and I will always be grateful to this extraordinary company and for the opportunity to lead it over all these years.”

After months of being either sold out or on backorder through the LEGO Store, the U.S.S. Enterprise LEGO set is boldly going into stock over at Amazon (see it here). The incredibly cool set for Star Trek fans is now available to buy from the retailer for $399.99, but what's even better is, unlike the LEGO Store right now, there's no need to worry about a 60 day wait. Amazon states it'll arrive before Valentine's Day on its store page, so you can have it delivered and get to work on it within a few days.
This is quite a big set to undertake, with 3,600 pieces required to build the ship. Those pieces create a display piece filled with quite a lot of details, though, including a secondary hull, two mini shuttlepods, and warp nacelles with red and blue detailing. The shuttlebay also opens and the command saucer is detachable, so there's plenty to admire while putting it all together.
No LEGO set is complete without some minifigures, of course. This set comes with nine in total to set up alongside the Enterprise: Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Worf, Lieutenant Commander Data, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander La Forge, Counselor Deanna Troi, Bartender Guinan, and Wesley Crusher.
We consider the U.S.S. Enterprise LEGO set to be among the best LEGO sets for adults, so if you've had your eye on it, now is your chance to grab it from Amazon without a wait. And if you're curious what's to come this month in terms of new releases, our breakdown of every new LEGO set releasing in February can help you out. Whether you're interested in the new Pokémon sets or the adorable LEGO Golden Retriever Puppy, there are quite a few worth keeping on your radar right now.
