<p>It's a good day when you get a free replacement for something broken. For me, it was a new controller. My old controller had its right joystick snap off in my bag. Despite the protruding nub snapping off, the analog mechanism still worked - so I reached out to the manufacturer for a replacement stick, and instead, they sent me a very nice and very new replacement. The thing is, like Carrie from <em>Sex and the City</em>, I didn't want a replacement Blueberry iBook, Aiden! I just <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWSZJXhOvBw">want my PowerBook fixed</a>.</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong. Of course, I am just as grateful for the replacement as I was for the Thanksgiving turkey I'm still digesting. But my request to …</p>

<p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/23437426/black-friday-guide-cyber-monday-tech-gadgets-2022">Cyber Monday</a> is behind us &mdash; but is it really, though? Many of the deals that started on Black Friday continued through the weekend, remained with us on Cyber Monday, and now, we&rsquo;re here. It&rsquo;s Tuesday, and there are still many great tech deals available on gadgets like earbuds, smart speakers, smartwatches, and even some smartphones.</p>

<p>Sure, some hot deals cropped up during that time and have since sputtered out, but if you didn&rsquo;t get your chance to shop already or were indecisive, you may still be in luck. Check out all the deals we&rsquo;ve compiled and rounded up for you, ranging from all types of handy products across a variety of price points. The holiday shopping season may continue to bring a smattering of great deals, though not all will be this good, so save what you can on those gifts. Or, if you&rsquo;ve already been checking people off your list, maybe it&rsquo;s time to treat yourself to a little self-care with something new.</p>

<p>The inaugural season of <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/15/23354157/overwatch-2-heroes-battle-pass-progression"><em>Overwatch 2</em>'s battle pass</a> is almost done, <a href="https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23878812/">with season 2 starting on December 6th</a>. With the new season come a fresh set of skins, a new hero, new map, and a new game mode, all with a Greek mythology flavor that might make you forget about that <a href="https://www.theverge.com/23414754/god-of-war-ragnarok-hands-on-preview-interview-ps5">other god of war</a>. (<a href="https://www.theverge.com/23437043/god-of-war-ragnarok-review-sony-ps5">Unlikely</a>.)</p>
<p>The biggest development coming with season 2 is the release of the sexy sentient robot Ramattra. Over the weekend, Blizzard <a href="https://youtu.be/4Rxne0rbQ-A">revealed more</a> about his design, abilities, and play style, creating what Blizzard's calling a "tempo tank," reflecting his unique ability to change his form and thereby his abilities to fit the flow of battle.</p>

<p>On Monday, NASA's Orion spacecraft reached its farthest distance from Earth, clocking in at 268,563 miles away from our planet.

<p>"Artemis I has had extraordinary success and has completed a series of history-making events," NASA administrator Bill Nelson said in a press conference, pointing out that Orion was the first spacecraft designed to carry humans to enter a distant retrograde lunar orbit and that it has surpassed the record for the furthest distance traveled away from Earth b …</p>

<p>It's been 20 years since <em>That '80s Show </em>spectacularly failed to recreate <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2022/05/that-90s-show-reboot-netflix-cast-updates.html"><em>That '70s Show</em></a>'s monster success and wound up being canceled just weeks into its first season. The way <em>That '70s Show </em>went out with a lackluster bang a few years later could easily have been the end of the franchise, but Netflix is gearing up to bring the Point Place crew back with the very imaginatively named <em>That '90s Show</em>.</p>
<p>Similar to <em>That '70s Show</em>, <em>That '90s Show </em>revolves around a group of young Wisconsinites whose budding friendships are destined to become lifelong relationships as they all grow up and get to know one another. As much as Leia Forman (Callie Haverd …</p>
