  Windows 11 Announced and Set to Release this Fall as a Free Upgrade

  Windows 11 release date, price, and other details revealed.
  
  Well look at me with egg on my face. Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that they were going to show off the "next generation of Windows" during an event set for today (June 24th). I was so sure that it was just going to be an update to Windows 10 because, well, Microsoft said that Windows 10 was going to be the "last" version of Windows that they release.

  Minecraft is Far from Dead and this Sonic DLC Proves It

  How well can a block do a spin dash?
  
  Despite what one mentally stunted individual might be saying on Twitter these days, Minecraft is very much alive and doing quite well for itself. In fact, the game has never been more popular. It's also now the only place where you will be able to celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog's 30th anniversary in style (since Sega themselves won't have anything new until 2022).
  
  Mojang and Sega have partnered up to create a special piece of Sonic themed...
