Caleb Williams is already turning a corner, and the Bears have life

Caleb Williams just keeps getting better and better.

Watching Caleb Williams and the Bears offense through the first four games just left me frustrated. One of the worst run games in the NFL, combined with a rookie QB who is throwing the ball a lot in some dire situations, finished off with playcalling that has left a lot to be desired. Just a petri dish of poor offense.

However, the Bears turned a corner against the Panthers, and while yes it is...

Players will need a quiet place if they want to survive the A Quiet Place game

Saber Interactive says its game A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead will have a fitting feature that might seem obvious but wasn’t guaranteed: using your microphone, the game will alert the in-game monsters to your presence if they hear you make a sound — both in the game and out. And if they hear you, they come for you. Just like in the movie!

The microphone part is optional, though I’d definitely turn it...

Nintendo is making an alarm clock so you can wake up to Zelda and Super Mario sounds

It’s not a successor to the Switch, but Nintendo does have a new piece of hardware to announce: a motion-controlled alarm clock. The device is called Alarmo, and it “responds to your movements,” which means you can snooze it with a gesture, or stop it by actually getting out of bed. It costs $99.99 and will be available in early 2025, though Nintendo says Switch Online subscribers can purchase it early right now.

It appears this is the mystery Nintendo gadget...

I love running but hate how much everything costs. These are the best Prime Day deals for runners.

Running is really important to me. I try to get out of the house and hit the road at least three times a week. It's therapy in the form of sweat and chafe, and I keep coming back for more.

Things have changed considerably since I was a skinny boy competing for my school in local cross country events. Back then I bounced around the park in nothing but my school uniform and sneakers. There were no carbon-plated running shoes giving me an extra few seconds per mile. No running watch tracking my...

Exclusive: Play 'It's What's Inside' with friends through Netflix's online game

A few airports in Florida began closing and airlines canceled hundreds of flights on Tuesday ahead of Hurricane Milton’s arrival. Government officials from President Joe Biden on down warned companies not to overcharge people fleeing the storm’s path.
