Former BioWare writer and project lead Mac Walters recently gave some insights on the new game from Worlds Untold. While details are scarce, we know it'll be a sci-fi action-adventure game, and not at all an RPG like Mass Effect. During an interview with the MinnMax gaming podcast, the studio head of Worlds Untold talked about his career at BioWare and what's next for him at his new venture. According to him, this next project will be a mix of elements from Mass Effect and, surprisingly, Apple TV's grounded sci-fi show Severance.
Kinesis Advantage360 Ergonomic Split Mechanical Keyboard Review
12.12.2023 - 00:13 / mmorpg.com
It’s been about five weeks since I opened the Kinesis Advantage360 Ergo Keyboard to review for the site, and I have to say it’s been one of the more unique experiences I’ve ever had reviewing a piece of tech. I’ve always been fascinated by ergonomic keyboards, purely because they look unmanageable. Yet, I know many who swear by them, specifically the tangible physical benefits of using them.
I was more intrigued when I tried one at PAX West earlier this year, so when Kinesis reached out to see if we wanted to take their split design ergo keyboard for a spin, I jumped at the opportunity. Yet, I knew it would be a daunting ask — I’d effectively be spending the next few weeks re-teaching myself how to type, something I’ve been doing effectively my whole life. Would that trial and error be worth the benefits of using an ergonomic keyboard, and does it make a difference in how my wrists are feeling towards the end of the day? Let’s dive in.
I remember the first time I saw an ergonomic keyboard being used by someone — it was in the Google Deep Mind documentary about AlphaGo. One of the programmers working on the project was seen programming on an ergo keyboard, and it struck me as odd, really. I knew people who used them, though not well and would often swap between keyboards, but this was the first time I saw one being used by a professional in a professional setting.
As we all spend way too much time sitting at a desk, in front of screens for our jobs, this can take a toll on the body. Standing desks are becoming much more affordable (I actually have two for my work and gaming rigs), yet a more ergonomic setup for the mouse and keyboard is something I never seriously considered until I saw that documentary.
It always seemed daunting, learning how to type a split keypad, effectively retraining decades of bad habits. Yet I was pretty excited when the Kinesis showed up on my doorstep.
One aspect of the Kinesis Advantage360 I like is the fact that the body itself is split into two distinct pieces, a major departure from its predecessor, the Advantage2. Splitting them apart at shoulder width has been a massive help, especially as my chair does not have 4D armrests that can be turned at an angle.
Another distinct feature of the Kinesis Advantage360 is its concave keywell, which helps to limit the amount of stretching one might normally do when typing on a flat plane. As a result, the first time I set my hands on the highlighted home keys in each keywell, everything felt rather natural.
Since each side of the keyboard is independent of the other, they can be rotated and positioned in the exact spot that puts minimal strain on the arms, hands, wrists, and shoulders.
It feels like the overall design of the

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Review
Humans are horrible. You don’t need an allegory about the environment filled with blue aliens to tell you that. However, the joy of James Cameron’s Avatar isn’t in its humans, or the azure Na’vi, it’s in the vibrant, living world of Pandora. From the instant you start Frontiers of Pandora, it’s clear that Ubisoft has done an incredible job bringing this world to life, and while you bathe in the neon glow of its incredible wildlife, you’ll discover a people whose lives and culture you’ll want to protect.

IQUNIX Super Tilly60 Mechanical Keyboard Kit Review
IQUNIX has been on a run this year with its brand new line of SUPER custom mechanical keyboards. We’ve looked at two of these so far with the ZONEX 75 and the 1+1 , both of which were two of the most unique mechanical keyboards we’ve reviewed so far. Today, we’re looking at the Tilly 60 , a compact keyboard that comes in either a 60% or HHKB layout, has a built-in storage compartment, and a volume knob, as well as a unique mounting style we haven’t seen any other company do yet. It’s available for $249 for the wired version and $269 for tri-mode wireless, which is expensive but around $100 cheaper than an actual HHKB and better in every way.

Apple’s Redesigned Magic Keyboard Will Make The OLED iPad Pro Look More Like A Laptop With A Sturdier Aluminum Frame
Apple marketed the iPad as a computer replacement in 2017 and continues to deliver features supporting its notion. However, the iPad Pro is far from a computer at this stage, and iPadOS is one of the reasons why. The company introduced a Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro that can transform the tablet into a laptop-like device with a keyboard and a trackpad.
