Now that the season six (of the new series) has concluded, Doctor Who fans will have to wait until Christmas for the next TV episode. But for those that can’t get enough, the BBC has you covered.

Following the success of the first “season” of the Doctor Who Adventure Games, which featured four original episodic games starring Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor and Karen Gillan as Amy Pond, the first episode of the second season will be available on BBC’s official page, on October 31.

The first episode will be titled “The Gunpowder Plot,” and have the Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves battling two old Doctor Who enemies in 1605 London, even as Guy Fawkes begins his plans to destroy Parliament.

The first episode is listed as a free download, but that is likely specifically for British users. The previous episodes were also free for British users, but cost everyone else a few dollars. When all four episodes had been released, the set cost just $13, and has since dropped even more in price.

If you're the kind of person who plans vacations around vintage arcades, hunts down rare pinball machines, or misses that one table you played years ago, there's now a surprisingly useful tool built just for you.

Called Pinball Map, the free website and mobile app does exactly what its name suggests. It helps players locate public pinball machines almost anywhere in the world, whether they're tucked away inside dedicated arcades, neighborhood bars, restaurants, museums, breweries, or even campgrounds. Think of it as Google Maps, but instead of helping you find coffee shops, it points you to your next pinball game.

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance
