By Russ Burlingame - June 6, 2018 02:25 pm EDT Share 2 Comments 2 With Wonder Woman 2 thought to be taking place in the 1980s (in no smal part due to an unsubtle hint from DC chief creative officer Geoff Johns), we had to wonder: if you were making a Wonder Woman movie set in the '80s, what would be the people, cultural forces, and challenges she might run into? Turns out there were a handful that might be kind of fun to explore, so we decided to share some of those thoughts below. From world politics to pop culture, the '80s provides a wealth of interesting opportunities for storytelling with Wonder Woman -- and that is without actually getting into the events that were taking place in the Wonder Woman comics around that time. ...Although, if you want to know? Wonder Woman #318 from August of that year saw Diana transported to the 63rd Century to defend Pardise Island from a race of alien pig-men. You're welcome. The Pig-Men are unlikely to show up in Wonder … [Read more...] about WW 84: ’80s Phenomena That Could Inform ‘Wonder Woman 2’

Steelseries Arctis 7 review: The best gaming headset bar none
Home • PC Game Hardware • 37 The best gaming headset ever made Katharine Castle Hardware Editor 13th December 2017 / 10:00AM Readers, I think I’ve found it. The best gaming headset. For me, anyway. Thanks to a simple strip of fabric, Steelseries’ Arctis 7 is hands down the most comfortable gaming headset I’ve ever used. Instead of cushioning that damnable headband with memory foam and other such gubbins you normally find in online mattress ads, Steelseries’ so-called ‘ski-goggle’ design puts all the weight on a stretchy piece of material that wraps tightly, but snugly round your skull, while the main aluminium frame sits suspended above your head. No pinching, no headache, nothing. It’s beautiful. You can adjust the tautness of the fabric with its tough velcro fastening on the side should it prove too small or large out of the box, and you can even buy additional bands to spice up its design … [Read more...] about Steelseries Arctis 7 review: The best gaming headset bar none
