It was a bad night in Seattle for the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks dismantled the Super Bowl runner-ups in a 29-3 victory, and handed the divisional rivals their first loss of the season. For 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick though, the good news is that he gets to keep his eyebrow.

Last week a video of Kaepernick and Seahawks’ QB Russell Wilson playing Madden 25 was released by EA Sports. In it, the two decide to make a side bet on the outcome of the game, with the loser shaving off an eyebrow. It was an obvious piece of advertising, but it quickly gained national attention – even though it was later revealed to be a joke.

In a radio interview Wilson shattered the illusions of many and confirmed – shockingly – that you can’t believe everything you see on the Internet. “It was more of just a friendly, joking-around-type deal,” Wilson said. “It’s not real serious. We’ll probably do something digitally. Something like that.”

Following the 49ers’ loss, EA Sports posted the video seen below where Kaepernick says goodbye to an old friend via a razor. The clip appears to use digital trickery to present Kaepernick sans eyebrow, and there is almost certainly a similar, alternative clip of Wilson “shaving” his eyebrow hidden deep in EA Sports’ digital vaults, along with congratulations videos for the the Netherlands World Cup victory over Spain in 2010, the 49ers win over the Ravens last year, and best wishes to Tiger Woods on his happy marriage.

So while Seahawks fans don’t get the joy of watching a divisional rival’s quarterback walk around with an asymmetrical face, they can take comfort in the video below (and the beating they put on the 49ers as well).

How to unlock fast travel in Another Crab’s Treasure

Kril with a coconut shell

Another Crab's Treasure is a fantastical soulslike set deep under the ocean where danger lurks around every corner. And like other games in the genre, it's often brutally difficult to overcome the various challenges you'll encounter. As such, you may find yourself wanting to backtrack for level grinding, to uncover new secrets, or to buy additional items in the game's main hub. However, you may notice early in the game that you haven't yet unlocked the ability to fast travel between the multitude of Moon Snail Shells (aka "bonfires") you've found. Here's how and when you'll unlock fast travel.
How to unlock fast travel
In the opening hours of the game, you may notice that you can access your skill tree, which will show a skill called Shelleportation. But you may be discouraged to see that you aren't able to apply any points to it yet. That's because the game doesn't open up this feature until you've advanced a few hours into the story.

To unlock fast travel, you'll need to work your way through the first few main areas of the game until you reach a boss called the Polluted Platoon Pathfinder. After beating this baddie, you'll soon find yourself teleporting to the Moon Snail's Domain. Here, you'll learn about the power of Umami, as well as unlock access to your skill tree.

Best gaming chair deals: Save on Corsair, Razer, and more

Razer - Iskur Gaming Chair.

Sitting down to play video games for hours and hours can be a lot of fun, but it can also be pretty bad for your health. Beyond just the lack of circulation, most modern chairs are not really made to have us sit in them for long periods, and so they don't offer things like lumbar support or breath to help keep us cool. Luckily, gaming chairs have come to the rescue, and if you're looking to at least help keep your body safe and healthy, going for a gaming chair can make a big difference. That said, gaming chairs can be quite expensive, which is why we've gone out and found some of our favorite gaming chair deals for you to pick from.

War never changes. The retrofuturistic apocalypse world of Fallout has graced fans with pretty regular releases since 1997, letting us explore the North American wasteland in the aftermath of a nuclear war in a variety of regions.

On top of the best Fallout games, we now have to consider where the new Fallout TV show fits in the timeline. We aren't going to get into every timeline detail here (the series' lore is surprisingly deep and detailed) but we will let you know exactly what year every mainline titles takes place in and how you can play them in order.
