Today Amazon is offering an excellent low price for an MSI gaming laptop equipped with the new Alder Lake CPU and RTX 30 series GPU. Walmart also has a solid deal on a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop with veyr simliar specs. You can't go wrong with either if you're looking for a portable gaming powerhouse.

MSI Rainbow Six SE Crosshair 15" QHD Intel Core i7-12700H Alder Lake RTX 3070 Laptop for $1439.20

Amazon is offering an outstanding deal on the new Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop equipped with the 12th generation Intel Core i7 Alder Lake CPU and RTX 3070 GPU. The latest Alder Lake CPU is considerably more powerful than previous generation Core i7 variants, and the RTX 3070 GPU has TGP rating of 140W, which is the maximum TDP rating you'll find for a mobile RTX 3070 graphics card. Higher TDP means more power is supplied to the graphics card, and that directly equates to better performance in games.This means that this laptop is one of the most powerful RTX 3070 gaming laptops you'll find. As long as you're keen on the bold aesthetics of this "Rainbow Six" edition, there's little reason to pick something else.

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16" Intel Core i7-12700H Alder Lake RTX 3070 Gaming Laptop for $1599

Walmart is offering an outstanding deal on the new Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop that is also equipped with the 12th generation Intel Core i7 Alder Lake CPU and RTX 3070 GPU. The RTX 3070 GPU in this gaming laptop also has a TGP rating of 140W, and it performs as well as the MSI Crosshair on paper. In real world benchmarks, the Legion 5 Pro is one of the best performing gaming laptops on the market. It also looks more like a standard laptop, so you might want to pick this over the Crosshair if you're not into the gamer aesthetic.

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Starting at $749.99

The GeForce RTX 3080 GPU really doesn't need any introduction. This is the de facto card to get if you plan to run current generation games at 4K, since it's up to 50% faster than the previous generation RTX 2080 SUPER and doesn't command the exorbitant price of the RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3090 (both of which are a mere 3%-5% faster in real world performance). It has an HDMI 2.1 port for passing through 4K @ 120Hz, which it has the power to drive even in resource hungry games like Elden Ring, Battlefield 2042 or Cyberpunk 2077.

EVGA's XC3 Ultra model is a "smaller" dual slot heatsink with triple fan cooling and a protective metal backplate. It has approximately similar dimensions as the 3080 FE, so it can fit in smaller or more restrictive cases. It boasts a modest 1755Hz Boost overclock compared ot the stock 1710MHz Boost on the 3080 FE.

EVGA's FTW3 Ultra model comes equipped with a ridiculously large triple slot heatsink with triple fan cooling and a protective metal backplate. This amount of dissipation allows the card to run cooler and quieter than the reference model RTX 3080 FE. This also enables the FTW3 Ultra model to have a bit more aggressive 1800MHz Boost overclock. Lastly and certainly the least important detail, let's not forget about the RGB lighting. There's enough there to make this card stand out in both traditional and vertical orientations.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + Free 12-Month Nintendo Switch Online Membership for $49.99 (or Animal Crossing: New Horizons for $50.99)

Nintendo Switch Online is automatically added to cart

Best Buy is offering a free Nintendo Switch Online 12-month individual membership when you purchase Super Mario Kart Deluxe 8 for $49.99. Alternatively, swap the game with Animal Crossing: New Horizons for $50.99. Nintendo Switch Online is required for online play in games like Super Mario Kart or Splatoon, downloading custom maps in Super Mario Maker 2, playing free retro SNES games, saving your game data to the cloud, and much more.

ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660 Ti Gaming PC

Walmart is offering this AMD Ryzen 5 3600X GTX 1660 Ti equipped gaming PC for only $799. The GTX 1660 Ti is still a very capable video card that can handle just about any game at 1080p resolution. You certainly won't find a more powerful video card for this price.

New Apple AirPods Pro for $179.99

The current generation Apple AirPods Pro is one of the best sounding "truly wireless" earbuds you'll find, especially at this price point. "Truly wireless" earbuds have no wires whatsoever; even the earbuds aren't hardwired to each other. In addition to the excellent sound quality, the AirPods Pro is the only AirPods with active noise cancelling technology. That, combined with the inherent nature of in-ear earbuds, means that the AirPods Pro will provide better noise isolation than over-ear headphones like the Bose QuietComfort or the Sony WH1000XM5. If you're thinking of getting a pair of new AirPods, we highly recommend jumping on this particular model.

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB M.2 SSD for $119.99

PS5 Compatible

Samsung SSDs need no introduction, and the EVO 980 PRO is the best of the best. It is fully PS5 compatible in terms of form factor and performance, with blistering speeds of up to 7,100MB/s. It goes toe to toe with other (more expensive) options like the WD Black SN850 and the Seagate Firecuda 530.

Alienware Aurora R10 RTX 3080 Gaming PC for $1673

This wasn't actually an Amazon Prime Day, but it should have been marketed as such because it is technically a better deal than any gaming PC deal we saw on Prime Day. Amazon has the best price on this RTX 3080 equipped Alienware Aurora gaming PC. It's $150 cheaper than getting the same configuration from Dell directly even compared to Dell's sale price. In addition to the powerful RTX 3080 GPU, this PC boasts a liquid-cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

Currently Woot, which is owned by Amazon, is offering up to 40% off PowerBlock Sport adjustable dumbbells. The 25lb (per dumbbell) set is only $129.99 and the 50lb (per dumbbell) set is $239.99. They are as well built as the Bowflex and the specs are similar. The 25lb set can be adjusted in 3lb increments and the 50lb set can be adjusted in 5lb increments.. These sell out very quickly at Woot so if you've been eyeing a pair, you better not hesitate. Woot is owned by Amazon, so you can sign in with your Amazon Prime account to get free shipping.

Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda

Score a rare 20% off this popular little Zelda collectible.

This excellent monitor has hit a new price low for Black Friday. It's one of the best 27" gaming monitors you can buy for under $500. The S2721DGF boasts a high quality IPS panel (better than the VA panel found on the popular S3220DGF model). It features wide viewing angles and excellent color rendition including 98% DCI-P3 color coverage, a super fast 1ms response time and up to 165Hz refresh rate through the DisplayPort. It's also FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC compatible.

LEGO has announced a new set based on the classic game console Atari 2600. The set includes a buildable recreation of the console itself, plus a joystick, a few game cartridges, as well as some extra features. LEGO Atari 2600 will be available exclusively on the LEGO Store on August 1, for $239.99. Preorders will not be available.

The set is comprised of 2,532 pieces. It includes buildable game cartridges of Asteroids, Adventure, and Centipede. These can be placed in a buildable game holder, and each one has an alternate build that lets you create images from that game (see the slideshow below).

Lots of thoughtful additions are also included. The joystick on the controller moves just like the actual Atari joystick. You can slide open the front of the system to reveal a side-view of a gaming room from the 1980s. It has a minifigure playing video games on a CRT television in a room adorned with a boom box, VHS tape, and era-appropriate posters.

The set is from the LEGO Icons line and it features the 18+ age designation. That comes as no surprise seeing as it’s intended for display rather than play — and most people who played the Atari 2600 as kids are several decades past that age anyway.

LEGO has been on a roll putting out retro gaming-related builds in recent years, including the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System, Sonic the Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone, and Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block. Additionally, the company has teamed up with Nintendo to create a whole product line of Super Mario Adventures sets that let you create “playable” Mario levels.

This set releases right around the 50th anniversary of Atari as a company. On a related note, Atari is also releasing Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, a new game that will celebrate the company’s history.

Razer just released the successor to one of the best gaming chairs available today with the Razer Enki Pro. The original Razer Enki surprised me, looking much like every other racing seat but turning out to be one of the most comfortable chairs I’ve ever used. The Enki Pro upgrades that design with new Alcantara trim, dual density foam cushions, a new recline knob, magnetic headrest and more. All of that comes with a major price jump to $999, a full six hundred dollars more than the original. Are the upgrades worth the major increase in price?

Razer Enki Pro – Design and Features

If you’ve seen the original Razer Enki, the basic design of the Enki Pro is much the same. It follows a traditional racing bucket seat design, but with some important changes that make it much more comfortable to actually use. The back has the traditional bolsters and cut-outs around the shoulder area, and the seat is wide and has its own set of wings. It’s trimmed in Razer’s iconic black and green, and while there’s no “For Gamers, By Gamers” stamped on the seat like the Razer Iskur, it’s still unmistakably a gaming chair.

You’ll have to look close to spot the first major upgrade. At a glance, you might think the Enki and Enki Pro were twins, but Razer has traded the suede-like fabric of the original for high-quality Alcantara on the back and seat, the same as you might find in a sports car or Formula One racer. It’s soft, supple, and surprisingly durable, perfect for a chair that will be seeing hard use.

Like the Enki, the Pro mixes its materials to deliver its eye-catching look and surprising comfort. A leather strap runs down the center of the back and seat, which Razer originally said was meant to feel better against the spine, but isn’t very noticeable. The bolsters are trimmed in leatherette for easy maintenance and are stitched with bright green accent thread. The upholstery is impeccable without a single loose thread to be found anywhere I looked.

Beneath that fabric, Razer has upgraded the cushions for enhanced comfort. The seat is now softer than the original while the back remains firm. One of the common criticisms levied at the Enki (and to be fair, many other gaming chairs, too) was that the seat was too stiff. I didn’t find this to be the case, personally, but the seat is noticeably softer out of the box, without feeling like it’s going to be too soft after a couple years of use.

The firmness of the backrest is important, because it’s a key element of the built-in lumbar support. Rather than use an adjustable lumbar like the Secretlab Titan Evo, the Enki Pro’s built-in arch works in conjunction with the backrest and cushion densities to evenly distribute your weight and alleviate stress on your body. The backrest is specially curved to align your shoulders and back, and promote good posture. It comes together so naturally that you may not even realize you’re sitting differently until you move to another chair – or look back at the end of the day and realize you don’t have any soreness in your back. The seat base is also wide enough to support crossing your legs when you need a break from that upright posture.

It sounds like a lot of marketing speak, I know. But it works. When I reviewed the original Razer Enki, I tested it at home and liked it so much that I moved it to work for a long-term test. That chair, designed almost exactly like the Enki Pro, proved to be more comfortable than any other gaming chair I’ve used. That includes expensive mesh chairs designed entirely around ergonomics, like the Cougar Argo and Cooler Master Ergo L. With the new dual density cushions, that’s even more true with the Enki Pro.

Turning the chair around, the Enki Pro has also had some work done around back. While the original Enki had leather upholstery all the way around, the Pro’s back is clad in a hard, carbon-fiber styled plastic shell. It looks nice and will definitely get the attention of your friends. The shell wraps around the sides and has removable panels that hide the brackets that attach it to the seat.

If you’ve used virtually any other gaming chair this decade, you might be surprised to find that there’s no lever to tilt the seat back. Instead, Razer has replaced this with an adjustment knob that you twist to adjust recline. It’s more precise and helps to prevent those jagged movements where the back snaps back or forward, but its higher position makes it more awkward to reach.

The other upgrade this time around takes a page out of Secretlab’s book. The headrest no longer uses straps to attach to the chair. Instead, a powerful magnet holds it in place so you can slide it up or down to find a comfortable position. If you’re worried about it falling off or moving out of position, don’t be. The magnet is powerful enough that I left the cushion on throughout the entire assembly process and it didn’t fall off once. The cushion is fantastic, so being able to move it to match a wider range of body types is a great thing.

Everything else on the chair is exactly the same as the Razer Enki. The chair is still rated for users between 5’5” and 6’8” and up to 299 pounds. The armrests are still 4D and adjustable height, depth, width, and angle. The wheelbase is still painted aluminum with standard 60mm casters. You can still adjust the chair’s rocking tension or lock it at a certain angle, and adjust the height up and down.

The two chairs have more in common than different, and in this case, that’s not entirely a good thing. This is still the same comfy chair I called “Great” back in 2021. But for a six hundred dollar price increase you get Alcantara, a few changes to the cushions, a plastic back, and a knob instead of a lever. It’s just not worth the thousand dollar price when the original Enki is still being sold and is still so good even without those upgrades.

Razer Enki Pro – Assembly

Assembling the Enki Pro isn’t difficult but is definitely easier with two people. The chair comes in a gigantic box that weighs more than 80 pounds. Inside, you’ll find a glossy thank you letter from Razer’s founder, Min-Liang Tan, that flips to reveal a large assembly guide. Bonus points to this guide for being large enough to actually use as a mat to protect your floor during parts of the build process.

The chair comes with everything you’ll need to put it together and is nicely separated out to make finding each part easy. Razer even inserts all of the screws you’ll need, so you know exactly where to attach each piece. The most difficult part of the process was attaching the back to the seat, but Razer added a piece to the left side that made lining up the brackets much easier than on other chairs. I also appreciated that Razer hid these pieces behind removable panels, allowing the plastic back to wrap around each side of the chair.

I used a drill to speed up assembly and was able to complete the process in about 20 minutes by myself, stopping to take pictures in between. With an extra set of hands, using the included tool, you can expect assembly to take the same or less. It’s straightforward enough that you won’t need the instructions if you’ve built a gaming chair before, but I would recommend using it if you’re a new builder so you don’t miss a step.

Razer Enki Pro – Performance

Having used the Enki as my main chair for the last seven months, I had a good idea about what to expect going in. And good news: the Enki Pro is even more comfortable than the original and just as adjustable. Whether you’re playing games at your PC, kicking back with your feet up, or settling in to work a full workday, the Enki Pro is ready to deliver.

The new cushions are the kind of subtle upgrade you won’t fully appreciate until you’ve tried another, firmer gaming chair right out of the box. Many gaming chairs feel stiff until they’ve had a chance to break in. The Pro is essentially pre-broken in, so it’s soft and pliable right away. It hits a perfect middle ground where it’s soft enough to be immediately comfortable without feeling like it will be too soft after a few months of regular use.

The lumbar support is just as good as ever, as long as it matches your back. There’s no adjustment option to move the lumbar support up or down, so you’re stuck with where it’s at. At 5’8”, it was perfect for me, and a colleague that’s 6’2” also found it to be very supportive, but since we all have different body types, your mileage may vary. The lumbar support is contoured to match the arc of your back and firm enough to offer the support you need to sit comfortably in that position for extended periods of time. The shoulder arches offer gentle encouragement to keep you centered and sitting upright. Even the pillow, which is usually something I remove from other gaming chairs, is designed to slide under your neck so sitting back with it is actually comfortable.

The armrests are the Enki Pro’s secret weapon. They offer the same adjustments as any other set of 4D armrests, but raise several inches taller than most other gaming chairs. This let me set them to match the height of my desk (or even slightly higher) so my arms never had to press on the sharp edge of the desktop. Whether I was playing with mouse and keyboard or with a controller in my hand, I was always able to find a comfortable position that supported me the way I wanted to sit. The elbow cushions are also softer than the harder plastic found on most racing seats and kept me from getting sore throughout the day.

The wide seat base is an asset if you’re a leg-crosser like me. I usually sit straight up when gaming but sometimes tuck a foot under the opposite leg. The seat is designed to accommodate all manner of sitting positions, including completely crossing both legs.

The new recline knob is nice, but not revolutionary. It’s slightly awkward to use, but allows you to make small adjustments without having the backrest slam forward or back. This is also possible by taking a little more care with a lever, however, so it’s a small upgrade overall. Still, the Enki Pro is one of the few chairs that’s comfortable enough that I actually find myself reclining in when I need a quick break from the day, and is a dream seat for kicking back with a controller.

The Alcantara fabric is another nice-to-have feature, but wasn’t something I noticed often. It feels good against the skin, but it’s not a game-changer compared to the fabric of the original Enki. It will touch a bit of your legs if you’re wearing shorts, but that’s about it for such a headlining upgrade. It’s a feature more about flex than function.

You’ll also need to be ready to clean the Enki Pro more often than a full leather gaming chair. In the time I had it for testing, the Alcantara managed to gather little fuzzies and stray pet hairs that stood out against the dark fabric. The original Enki also had this issue. About once a month, it needed to be vacuumed because the fabric accumulated dust you would usually be able to wipe away but couldn’t because of the fabric. If my test window was any indication, the same will be true here.

My biggest takeaway after testing the Enki Pro is that while it offers a handful of upgrades, none of them really change the fact that it’s still incredibly similar to the much cheaper original. For a “pro” version, I would have hoped to have seen bigger changes, like an adjustable lumbar system to match a wider range of backs. The Enki Pro is definitely fancy but it’s not a great value.

Ghostbusters fans are adding Winston Zeddemore to the 1990 Sega Genesis game, after the fourth Ghostbuster was emitted from the original.

As reported by Ghostbusters News (and spotted by Kotaku), Zeddemore was left out as a playable character despite featuring in the first two films and The Real Ghostbusters animated series by the time theb game arrived.

The project is being created by modders Danilo Dias, BillyTime!Games and Master Lunkeui, who shared a first look at the mod on Twitter (below), showcasing Zeddemore in a variety of suits and poses.

Winston in SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis Ghostbusters???

THE MOST WANTED ROM HACK EVER!!!

Two custom colour palettes will also be available, depicting the original Ghostbusters' khaki uniform and the sequel's dark blue version. The modder also revealed that Zeddemore would be stronger than the other playable characters – Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler – as he can jump higher and do more damage.

Though the mod is still in development, BillyTime!Games also revealed working gameplay on their YouTube channel, showing Zeddemore battling various ghosts on his way around a haunted building.

Myriad Ghostbusters games have been released since this one, of course, with technology moving on quite a lot since the Genesis days. The franchise is even stepping into the virtual reality world with the aptly named Ghostbusters VR, which is coming to both the Meta Quest 2 and PlayStation VR2.

Rodney Barnes' Killadelphia is easily one of the more inventive horror comics to come along in many years, given how the series combines vampire horror with a very grounded look at crime, corruption and murder in a major American metropolis. Fans of that series will definitely want to keep an eye out for Barnes' next horror epic, a period piece dubbed The Butcher of Black Bottom.

This new slasher horror series pairs Barnes with Argentinian artist Germán Erramouspe. The Butcher of Black Bottom will debut digitally on Barnes' Substack channel, Dark Apocrypha Presents, and will later be released in print form through his Zombie Love Studios imprint.

Check out the slideshow gallery below for an exclusive first look at The Butcher of Black Bottom:

There are no vampires to be found this time (that we know of), but plenty of blood will be spilled all the same. The Butcher of Black Bottom is set in 1920's Detroit, a time when the city is seeing a large influx of African American migrants from the South and racial tensions are reaching a boiling point. Adding fuel to that fire is the titular serial killer. Has Detroit attracted its own Jack the Ripper?

“The Butcher of Black Bottom speaks to the struggle to find racial harmony in a post-Civil War America. Where the migration of blacks from the south meets an industrializing north wrestling with its own issues," said Barnes in a press release. "As one might imagine finding peace was no easy chore.”

This series is one of several new horror projects Barnes is debuting in 2022, alongside previously announced books like Blacula (an adaptation of the 1970's Blaxploitation film) and Crownsville, a ghost story set in a black insane asylum.

Barnes will be discussing these and other projects during a pair of horror comics-focused panels at San Diego Comic-Con later this week. The first, "How the Best Horror Comics Summon Readers' Worst Nightmares," will be held on Friday, July 22 at 2:30pm in Room 5AB. The second, "Monsters Are for Everyone," will be held on Saturday, July 24 at 5:30pm in Room 24ABC.
