'Life is Strange 2' trailer follows two young brothers on the run

The studio Dontnod Entertainment previously revealed that the sequel to its highly-acclaimed adventure game Life is Strange would debut with its first chapter on September 27th, 2018. But aside from some intriguing teaser footage, we didn't know what much about the game. Get ready, fans: An official trailer has dropped, and we've got a new pair of protagonists to follow and root for.

The first chapter of Life is Strange 2 tells the story of two brothers, 16-year-old Sean and 9-year-old Daniel Diaz. This season starts in the Pacific Northwest as the older Diaz fatefully chooses to flee suburban Seattle after a tragic event (alluded to in the teaser) and take his sibling to their family's home town in Puerto Lobos, Mexico. While the first game's favorites Max and Chloe are nowhere to be seen, that path does take the brothers south, which could lead them through coastal Oregon and Arcadia Bay, the fictional city that Life is Strange is set in.

Aside from that potential crossover, it's not yet clear how the two games and this summer's free interquel, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, tie together. But per studio Dontnod's blog post announcing the game, that connection will become clear -- and there will be a new power at play: "What it is and how it relates to the brothers is something you will discover in due course!" For everyone charmed by the original's dulcet backing tunes, composer Jonathan Morali is back with a whole new soundtrack for the sequel.

More gameplay will be released in the coming days, and Gamescom attendees can play the title's opening scene at Square Enix's booth. For everyone else, the first chapter arrives September 27th on Xbox One, PS4 and Steam.

Evernote cuts staff as user growth stalls

Image
Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to...

The best air conditioner

After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
