Sweet ride, brah: Destiny season pass gets you a free speeder bike that does tricks

Add as a preferred source on Google

Guardians that purchase the Destiny Expansion Pass or the first expansion The Dark Below by January 15 receive a bonus EV-30 Tumbler Sparrow, Bungie confirms. This new hover bike runs faster, jumps higher, and enables you to pull off sweet tricks like you’re Tony Hawk in power armor. Players who have purchased the expansion(s) receive the bike immediately, available for pickup from the in-game Postmaster.

Holding RT while mid-air on the Sparrow puts you into trick mode. Using the D-pad from there makes your rider perform moves like flips, barrel rolls and striking poses. If you land a trick successfully, you hear a sound acknowledging the accomplishment and your turbo is instantly refilled. Someone on Reddit has been compiling the available tricks. See it in action for yourself below.

Lenovo is selling a 280Hz monitor for less than GTA 6 Ultimate Edition
Lenovo gaming monitor render

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)

I played Halo: Campaign Evolved, and its cinematics show what a Halo series could’ve been
Halo’s remake looks ready for Hollywood. So where is the show it deserves?
Adult, Male, Man

There is a moment early in Halo: Campaign Evolved where I stopped thinking about the remake as a game for a second. I was watching one of its newly rebuilt cutscenes. Master Chief, Captain Keyes, Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn, and the enormous scale of everything around them suddenly appeared a lot more cinematic than ever before.

I played the original Halo: Combat Evolved in the early 2000s, and in my head, this was exactly how it looked and felt. The first Halo title introduced intergalactic war to me long before Star Wars, and the cinematic tastefully adds enough minor touches that enhance Bungie's original work from decades ago.
