Liverpool fans cringed when Steven Gerrard slipped, handing Manchester City their second Premier League title. Well, these dumpster fires existed in the virtual realm too.

The latest headset to arrive from the Thrustmaster is the Thrustmaster 350 CPX 7.1 Powered Headset; one that should work on every gaming system around, including the PC. This new headset is not bad looking, but the build quality doesn’t feel fantastic for a mid-range set of headphones. The top band is a hard plastic which can be adjusted by sliding them around a metal support on the inside. They are solid enough but also quite rigid which, in my experience, can make them vulnerable to snapping at some point in the future....

In his post-win interview, the professional Taiwanese Hearthstone player said, “Liberate Hong Kong,” on live stream.

I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who has completely matched my likes or taste in tunes. Musical taste is a lot like someone’s personality. It’s specific to that person, unique in many senses, and varies significantly. I can also admit that my musical tastes are sometimes embarrassing. Like, why do I even like songs by Poppy? I’ll give any song a chance. I can usually tell within the first 15-seconds of listening if I’m going to like it or not....
