One of our favorite deals of the years is back for Amazon Prime Day. The Razer Azu Smart Glasses are down to just $49.99 for Prime Day 2022. (Remember, you can also top up $50 at Amazon and get an extra $12.50 for free – so don't miss out on the free money).

Razer's Anzu smart glasses normally retail for a premium of $199.99, and honestly, it's not worth that. But for $50, you definitely have our attention.

A massive $150 discount is nothing to joke about as well, and well worth considering before the 48-hour Prime Day sales are over. Not only that, with your Prime membership, these glasses will likely be delivered within the next two days to your address. But, don't worry if you're not a Prime member, as students can sign up for a 6-month free trial, while everyone else can still get a 30-day free trial as well.

Both the regular-sized and large rectangle frames are on sale for Prime Day, both for $50, and you're actually getting a lot of bang for your buck. The Anzu glasses are engineered for use in both indoor and outdoor activities, as well as using your PC. Each set includes interchangeable lenses; blue-light filtering lenses for indoor PC use and polarized sunglass lenses for outdoor use.

The Pokémon Company is developing a reality show based on fans of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Casting is now open for an "unscripted series involving the Pokémon TCG" with fans of all ages encouraged to apply, though it's pretty unclear what the format of the show will be.

“From dedicated competitors in the Play! Pokémon programme and casual players battling after school with friends and family to collectors or general enthusiasts, we’re looking forward to spotlighting the stories of our diverse TCG fans," said Barry Sams, vice president of The Pokémon TCG. "Anyone in the Los Angeles area with a Pokémon TCG story to tell is encouraged to apply."

The casting call poster reveals a little more about the show's premise, as it states that "whether you are trying to learn the Pokémon TCG to connect with your loved ones, hone your TCG skills to get to the next level, or are already a competitive player, we would like to hear how a Pokémon TCG expert can help you."

The show may therefore be about partnering professional Pokémon card players with random members of the community in a zero to hero format. Nothing is confirmed at the moment however, and we'll likely just have to wait until The Pokémon Company reveals more itself.

Pokémon cards continue to grow in popularity 25 years after the original set was released, as evidenced, among other things, by the number of people trying to steal them.

An independent gaming store in Minnesota reportedly had around $250,000 worth of Pokémon merchandise stolen in February while in March a man was arrested in Tokyo for allegedly launching a literal heist in order to steal the treasured cards.

Also in March, a Georgia man didn't steal Pokémon cards directly but instead misused money from the government to buy one, using a COVID-19 relief payment to buy a rare, shiny Charizard.

This year's Amazon Prime Day promises to be the best Prime Day ever in terms of gaming PC deals. This is the first year that gaming PCs equipped with the current RTX 30 series video cards will be discounted down to reasonable prices, as opposed to last year when the prices were even higher than MSRP because of supply and demand. Not only has the price dropped significantly on these current-gen desktop PCs compared to earlier this year, but they're also more readily available and ship out sooner. The new 12th generation Intel Alder Lake processors were also released this year, which are a significant improvement from the previous generation Intel processors. If you want to future proof your PC, we'd definitely recommend splurging for an Alder Lake CPU.

Amazon Prime Day Gaming PC Deals

There are several brands of gaming PCs on sale on Amazon, including Alienware, Thermaltake, Acer, ASUS, CyberpowerPC, IBUYPOWER, Skytech, and more. All models are equipped with the newest RTX 30 series video cards and some are equipped with Intel Alder Lake CPUs. These prices are good through July 13.

Amazon Prime Day Gaming Monitor Deals

No duds here. All of these Amazon Prime Day gaming monitors have features that are actually useful for gamers, like a low response time, high refresh rates, and Adaptive Sync technology. That doesn't mean they compromise on image quality either. Low quality, color-shifting TN panels are a thing of the past. These gaming monitors boasts IPS or VA panels for wide viewing angles, accurate color reproduction (some have 99% sRGB or 95% DCI-P3 color space), and high brightness levels (some are HDR400 or HDR600 certified).

Should You Buy a Gaming PC or Gaming Laptop?

If you're looking for a PC to play games on, chances are you've already thought about purchasing a gaming laptop at some point in your research process. But is it better to buy a gaming PC or a gaming laptop? The short answer is: In most cases the higher performance you get with a gaming PC is enough to make it a better choice for gaming. However, if you are looking for something to play older games on that is fairly portable, a gaming laptop will work just fine.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Thor: Love and Thunder.

Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi has explained why the Guardians of the Galaxy didn't have larger roles in Thor's fourth adventure.

Thor left with the Guardians after the events of Avengers: Endgame and the ragtag group of intergalactic misfits featured prominently in the trailer for Thor 4, leading some people to believe that Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket Racoon, Nebula, Mantis, and Groot were going to have big roles in the movie. As it turned out, they only appeared for a brief couple of minutes.

Speaking to Insider, director Taika Waititi explained what happened to the Guardians of the Galaxy and why they didn't make a return after their opening scenes with Chris Hemsworth's titular character in Thor: Love and Thunder. He said they did consider having them show up at the end of the movie but ultimately decided that it wasn't the right time and place.

"The plan was always to have them in the beginning and then move on. Because they have their own movie. There was talk about having them come back at the end," he revealed, adding: "The thing is that happens in every movie. No more. No more of the cavalry coming at the end. So we shelved that idea. We just wanted Jane to come in at the end."

There are plenty of adventures with the Guardians crew coming up, starting with the I Am Groot series of shorts on Disney+ in August and then, later on in the year, the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special that is said to take place between Thor: Love and Thunder and the third Guardians movie, which is now on deck to be released in May 2023.

As for Thor: Love and Thunder, the movie has turned out to be another success story at the box office. The latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe earned $302 million in its first weekend at the global box office, having brought in $143 million in North America and another $159 million internationally to secure the 12th-best opening for an MCU title.

IGN awarded Thor: Love and Thunder a 7 out of 10 in its spoiler-free review of the film, noting that the fourth Thor movie may have been slightly "held back by a cookie-cutter plot and a mishandling of supporting characters," but that it ultimately succeeded as the "MCU's first romantic comedy thanks to Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman's chemistry."
