The world is under attack by the "undead" and the 7 billion people that currently live on earth are rapidly diminishing. Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt), a former United Nations employee, is trying to buy some time on finding something to stop the pandemic by travelling to different places in the world to find answers.
There’s nothing quite like a cool summer breeze blowing in your window on a hot day. Open windows are great for keeping your house a nice, moderate temperature and chilly wind can feel great when you’re trying to sleep at night. But in the summer months, we don’t often get a lot of cool breezes, and at night it can be almost impossible to sleep because the house can feel like being on the inside of an oven. So what’s the best solution to stay cool and comfortable this summer? Look no further than a portable air conditioner or cooling fan.
This year stay cool as the days and nights heat up with one of these great air conditioners or fans:

If you follow the PC industry at all, you’ve probably heard considerable buzz about Intel’s latest Core processors. The 4th generation CPUs (known as Haswell) have gained a lot of attention in the laptop space thanks to an amazing power-saving design, but there are also desktop versions and these are big deal too. Besides faster and more efficient computing in general, the Haswell desktop CPUs incorporate significantly boosted built-in GPUs. According to Intel this translates into a processor that takes less than one minute to prepare a 6-minute HD video —up to 25% faster than its previous generation of desktop CPUs.

It's time to turn over a new leaf. Welcome to Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the newest and most jam packed edition of the series yet. In this first for the Nintendo 3DS, you get to take on new challenges and twists and turns as the town mayor, while retaining a lot of the same fun elements of previous games.

It’s not stretching the truth to say that kitchen upgrades are expensive. New tile, new cabinets, and large new kitchen appliances like fridges and stoves can break your kitchen renovation budget. But if you want to feel like you’re in a new kitchen and you don’t have the cash to do a complete kitchen upgrade, you can still make the most used room in your house brand new – all you need are a few cool, new small kitchen appliances and you’re good to go.

The Newsroom has turned heads and is one of the best series on television today. A show created by the wonderful Aaron Sorkin and starring Jeff Daniels, what more do you need to be believe in the hype?
And now, to conclude my coverage of E3 2013, here are pictures gathered here and there to give you an idea of the atmosphere on the show floor and in the surrounding areas.
Every E3 brings a new crop of shooters. There are literally dozens on display, some in public, some behind closed doors, some only in secret meetings with people wearing non-gamer outfits. Here are some thoughts on two that attracted my attention: Titanfall and Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Here are some more details about three of the XBOX One’s launch titles, gleaned during semi-private press demos earlier today.

Brace yourselves, folks, because Disney Interactive is going to make waves in the coming year. And not just once, but twice.
Grade 12 students in high schools across the country are no doubt all atwitter this month as graduation nears and that coveted first day of university draws near. As I reminisce about my own high school graduation, I can’t help but think of all the thoughtful gifts I received from my family. Thoughtful, but entirely useless. Diamond earrings? Amazing! But did they help me get through the culture shock of my first semester? Not so much. So, with that in mind, here are some practical, yet still thoughtful and cool gifts for the grad on your list.
As the weather gets warmer I like relaxing on my outdoor deck with a summer cocktail and listening to some tunes. Having great sounding speakers like the Pioneer Wireless Outdoor Speaker (A3) is makes it an even better experience. There are a lot of portable speakers you could choose from, but if you are looking for a premium sounding speaker that has excellent wireless capabilities this is a great choice.
Though they decided to stay away from the round of press conferences this year, Nintendo still had plenty to show off on the floor at E3, and announced some new goodies for the WiiU and 3DS as well. Come take a look at some of the announcements, release dates and see screenshots of titles like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze!
"Meet me at the tank," said one of my colleagues earlier today. Nowhere but at E3 does that sentence make sense. But here it does - because, look! There is a tank at E3!

E3 had barely opened its doors that I fell in love with Tearaway, an upcoming PS Vita game that combines the art direction of Katamari Damacy with the best use of the dual touchscreens that I can remember. A fun, fun game - just don't expect an easy ride because your character will gladly plunge to his or her death whenever you misread the game's 3D perspective - which happens A LOT.

Yes, there certainly can.

This is the second part in our series about building your own PC gaming rig (you can read the initial installment here). With the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) now in full swing, video games are on everyone’s mind and while the latest generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft are in the spotlight at the moment, PC gaming excitement is building too with titles such as Dragon Age 3:Inquisition, Titanfall, the PC version of EA’s Battlefield 4 and Elder Scrolls Online. You’ll be wanting a powerful computer to make the most of these coming titles, which brings us to the question: Buy or build your own?
Best Buy is live at E3 this year. Check Plug In, and the information network regularly for live and up to the minute news. In the meantime, here is a brief recap of June 10th: Day One of one of the world's largest gamer playgrounds.

With the next-generation console battles heating up after this morning's presentation of the XBOX One's launch lineup, what does Team PS4 have in store for gamers at E3? Tons of exclusives?

We know what to expect from an EA press conference, right? Lots of sports games, a few new installments in long-standing AAA franchises, and maybe a tiny morsel of information about Bioware's next opus if the powers-that-be deem us worthy. In other words: lots of content, but few surprises. Right?
Wrong.

When Microsoft unveiled the XBOX One, a few weeks ago, games took a backseat to the new console's ability to function as a general-purpose set-top box and living room entertainment center. Oh, we did see a somewhat mysterious teaser for Quantum Break (one of EIGHT brand new franchises we were promised for the console's first year on the market), some mouth-watering images of EA Sports' ubiquitous chart-toppers... And of course, that dog from Call of Duty: Ghosts. But to really sink our teeth into the XBOX One's game offerings, we were told that we would have to wait until E3.
Well, the XBOX One E3 press conference is now over. So did Microsoft and its publishing partners deliver the goods?
