Last week we all, sadly, got to see a new Halloween mask based on that terrible looking live-action Sonic film. I don’t know who wants to be Sonic for Halloween, let alone THIS particular version of the character. Regardless of all that, I still asked you folks to create some images featuring the mask.

Sideshow and PCS Collectibles have created the ultimate item for fans of the game. Standing in at 24-inches in height, the Spider-Man Advanced Suit statue can be yours for just $1,100. Sideshow is creating two different versions: an “exclusive” one that comes with a flexible web, and the “standard” edition that doesn’t have it.
Spider-Man is the focus, but the base he is leaping from holds the demonic imagery of Mister Negative, one of the foes he squared off against in the game. The Advanced Suit was created by Insomniac and has become one of the more popular looks for this iconic character, appearing on numerous comic book covers and collectibles since the game’s launch.
Sideshow estimates the statue will ship between January and March of 2021.

Red Dead Redemption 2 arrives on PC on November 5, and you can now get a taste of just how beautiful it is going to look for people who have the hardware to run it in 4K. The first shot of this short minute-long trailer shows off the increased draw distant and general improvements to the world – from the lighting to the grass. I’ll repeat this sentiment: It looks absolutely stunning. The PC version will also deliver new Bounty Hunting missions and gang hideouts for players to unearth.
With the release just around the corner, are PC players eager to play it for the first time? Also, what about console players that have already gone through it: Do the visual upgrades make you want to purchase it again?

It could damage the system!
The Switch might be a technical wonder – allowing users to game on the go, or on the couch – but if you don’t put it away safely when you’re done playing bad things could happen.
Nintendo’s customer support Twitter account for Japan recently issued an amusing but serious warning – reminding Switch owners not to throw their system on the sofa in case they sit on it. Obviously, if you do this you run the risk of breaking the screen, analog sticks, and buttons.

Shu Yoshida with the goodies.
It’s been exactly two months since Sony acquired Marvel’s Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games, but it appears that the team at the Burbank campus has only just gotten around to celebrating the purchase properly. The studio has put on a special team lunch for all employees, with the likes of PlayStation’s Mark Cerny and Shuhei Yoshida in attendance.
After dedicating a moment of silence to Craig Goodman, one of the studio’s artists who recently passed away from brain cancer, Insomniac Games’ CEO Ted Price had a few quick words to share with his fellow employees. Shu Yoshida then followed that up by discussing Spyro the Dragon and even handing out PS4 Pros and a copy of Marvel Spider-Man’s Game of the Year edition to everyone in attendance.

Sow good.
Don’t let its rudimentary title deceive you: action-puzzler Pig Eat Ball is a fun homage to arcade titles that develops into a surprisingly deep experience with a quirky plot. You play as Princess Bow, a young pig forced into marriage when (like any good princess) she wants adventure in the great wide somewhere. Your overall goal is to collect pearls to power your father King Cake’s space station, which is achieved by competing in contests for clams. These mini-games range from sucking up tennis balls to destroying terrain; there’s a great variety.
With its pixel art aesthetic and mobile game scoring system, Pig Eat Ball might appear little more than a time killer. Yet, after the basic introductory stages, you’ll find great level design that carefully crafts a need to think outside the box. This makes most of the puzzles a joy to figure out, though there are those that feel dissonant; while most clams work to a theme based on a new skill learned, there are puzzles scattered in that are either too easy or irrelevant, seemingly existing for the sake of padding.

A new report claims that an upgraded AirPods model – called the AirPods Pro, in the manner of the iPhone 11 Pro – may be about to release to market.
An incoming AirPods Pro release was cited in a report by China Economic Daily, which said the new AirPods were expected to launch before the end of October, meaning the claim could be proved (or dismissed) very soon.
We’ve heard a lot of speculation and rumors around the AirPods 3, though the Pro model would likely sit alongside the base model for those seeking more premium features. China Economic Daily says that the AirPods Pro will come with active noise-canceling, which is lent credence by the mention of “with or without noise-canceling” audio settings in code for the iOS 13.2 beta.
A previous story by the outlet says that the next AirPods model could feature a new metal design to help with heat dissipation – so there could be a new feel and and form to the AirPods beyond the tech hidden inside.
it’s worth noting, too, that the current-generation AirPods got a price cut across retailers this week, which could signal a new model on its way shortly.
The AirPods Pro will reportedly cost $260, which converts to around £200 / AU$380 – though UK pricing is likely to match the US figure, so it could cost £260 too.
That’s a decent step up from the 2019 AirPods’ $159 / £159 / AU$249, which is already pretty expensive for true wireless earbuds, when there are certainly cheaper options available – some with similar performance. But if you’re after an Apple model, or active noise-canceling is what you’re after, the upgraded AirPods Pro may get your bet in the coming weeks.

Thanks to the Huawei ban stopping recent Huawei and Honor smartphones from accessing Google apps, the future of Honor (a subsidiary of Huawei) in the UK has been a bit up in the air.
Now the company has just unveiled a new handset is on its way to the UK, and it’s the previously announced Honor 9X.
The Honor 9X is the latest in the Honor X series of affordable smartphones. The last handset in the range was the Honor 8X (unsurprisingly), and it sits alongside the Honor V range, and main series of Honor phones.
The Honor 9X comes with a 6.59-inch LCD display, which is pretty big for an affordable phone and there’s no notch breaking it up – instead, the smartphone has a 16MP pop-up camera.
There are three rear cameras, and while none of them are as high-tech as the type you’d find on the Huawei P30 Pro, for example, they look decent on paper.
The rear camera consists of a 48MP main snapper, 8MP ultra-wide angle, and 2MP depth camera for improved portrait shots. There’s notably no telephoto lens.
Keeping the phone running is a 4,000mAh battery, which powers the Kirin 810 chipset.
On the back of the handset is a fingerprint sensor, and there’s also a unique rear pattern that shows an X-shape when light shines on it. You can see that design in the photo above.
We don’t currently have an exact release date or price for the Honor 9X in Europe or UK, but we expect it to hear more from Honor on the subject soon.

If you want a really nicely priced multifunction printer, then the HP Envy Photo 7155 could be right up your street – particularly considering that you can get it for half-price right now (Black Friday-level deals seem to be coming earlier and earlier, these days).
This is a multifunction machine, meaning that it’s not only capable of printing, but also scanning (and copying documents by combining those two functions).
It’s also a wireless model as you might expect these days – although there is a USB port for a wired connection – and is capable of printing at speeds of 14 pages per minute in black/white (9 ppm in color) at resolutions of up to 4800 x 1200 dpi.
In other words, you can get good quality prints from this machine, which has an input capacity of up to 125 sheets and boasts automatic duplex printing (printing on both sides of the sheet of paper). Furthermore, the scanner features a 1200 x 1200 dpi optical resolution.
Not only is the initial cost of this all-in-one printer cheap given this 50%-off deal, but you can also benefit from HP’s Instant Ink to keep running costs low going forward.
We will likely see more compelling deals on printers – and indeed the whole gamut of tech – as Black Friday 2019 and Cyber Monday 2019 approach, and of course a whole host of corking offers when the time itself actually arrives.
