Google Doodle Pac-Man 45th Anniversary Birthday
Pac-Man turns 45 this year, and Google is celebrating with a macabre twist on the iconic game to get you in the Halloween spirit. This little yellow circle has been nibbling its way into people’s hearts – and high scores – for generations, having first appeared in arcades in 1980. Now, the search engine giant offers a completely new Halloween-themed Google Doodle to your doorstep. When you nudge the doodle, you’re immediately whisked into a browser-based chase that combines the original’s simple thrills with all of the terrifying shivers.

Duke Nukem Zero Hour PC Port
Duke Nukem tried something fresh back in the day, 26 years ago to be precise. Zero Hour dropped on the Nintendo 64 in 1999 as a third person shooter – and not just any third person shooter, but one with time travel, Victorian London levels and a Wild West showdown, all wrapped up in one. Critics thought it was okay, while fans largely gave it a miss. The game just sort of vanished from sight, stuck in that cartridge age, trapped behind ancient hardware. Well now a small team has dug it out from the ashes and rebuilt it, and its performance is a surprise to just about everyone.

Bambu Lab A1 Mini 3D Printer
Bambu Lab’s A1 Mini is really making waves with its price tag of $199 – that’s half its original $399. And from the moment you open the box, it’s clear this little printer is something special. Assembly goes from zero to hero in a flash – basically just plug in a power cord and slide the build plate into place, and you’re good to go. Twenty minutes pass, and you’re already on your way to printing something amazing – no tools required, no messing around with leveled beds, no trial and error nonsense.

Renders of the Google Pixel 10a have leaked and they show a phone that’s familiar in ways both good and bad. Leaks reveal a device that’s sticking to the 9a’s blueprint. This midranger is expected to launch in early 2026 and measures 153.9 x 72.9 x 9mm – slightly shorter and narrower than the 9a but a bit thicker. That extra thickness suggests room for a bigger battery but the overall shape is the same flat-edged design with a plastic rear panel that sits flush against the camera housing.

Honda Super-ONE Prototype Micro EV Japan Mobility Show
Honda just unveiled the Super-ONE Prototype at the Japan Mobility Show, a sleek little electric hatchback that can be both a city charmer and a weekend getaway vehicle. It all started with the Super EV Concept, which drew public notice at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. Now, with the camouflage stripped away and in the spotlight, the prototype showcases how Honda plans to bring this car to market next year. Unfortunately for the US, there’s been complete radio silence thus far, which stings even more when you’ve been patiently waiting for a compact plug-in since the Honda e vanished a few years ago.
