Post Scriptum Review
In most squad-based games, communication is king. In Post Scriptum, that’s taken to new heights: the need for constant coordination with your team is not only necessary for success, but easily the most enjoyable aspect of this World War 2 military simulation. This formula of squad-based team cohesion on steroids would make for a worthwhile shooter were it not for the frustrating maps, overly simplistic game mode, and a few baffling design decisions that get in the way of experiencing what Post Scriptum does well.
Post Scriptum is an unforgiving game where some players are inherently more powerful than others, and a single whizzing bullet can unceremoniously end an otherwise uneventful five-minute trek through its WW2-era Netherlands maps. This may sound difficult for difficulty’s sake but this opaque environment is ultimately what drives people to work together: there’s safety in numbers. If you’re gunned down while alone you have absolutely no recourse, but with a section of soldiers (a group of anywhere from four to nine) at your back you can be avenged and revived. And while this incentive also exists in Battlefield 1, the sheer amount of waiting and running required to get back into the action of Post Scriptum makes sticking with your squad feel even more essential. As someone who loves team play, this element was immediately gratifying, but as time pressed on getting back to this baseline of cooperation proved arduous.
50 Million Facebook Accounts Compromised by Security Vulnerability
If you had to log back into your Facebook account and were wondering why, a massive security breach is to blame.
On Tuesday, Facebook “discovered a security issue affecting almost 50 million accounts,” one that allowed attackers to “steal Facebook access tokens” and take over innocent people’s accounts.
Facebook reset the access tokens on the 50 million affected accounts, as well as an additional 40 million user accounts as a “precautionary step.” Affected users would need to log back into the app, desktop version, and linked apps as a result.
A notification at the top of your Facebook news feed will explain what happened, Facebook said.
Is the DC Universe Becoming Too Dark?
If there’s been any takeaway from the from the last several weeks’ worth of DC Comics releases, it’s that it’s not the greatest time to be a hero in the DC Universe. Nightwing was just grievously wounded in Batman #55. Doomsday Clock #7 revealed that Doctor Manhattan caused the premature death of a famed Golden Age superhero. And most disturbingly of all, no fewer than six heroes were killed in an act of superhuman mass-murder in Heroes in Crisis #1. At some point you have to question whether the DCU is becoming too dark for its own good.

Acer has been shipping its own keyboards with its Predator desktops for a while now, but has never offered them for sale to the public before. That’s going to change with the new Aethon 500 (See it on Amazon). It’s a full-size gaming keyboard positioned at the very top echelon of the mechanical keyboard market. It features dedicated macro keys, per-key RBG backlighting, clicky Kalih Blue switches, and a snazzy magnetic wrist wrest. As you can see, this keyboard is full-loaded, and priced accordingly at $180. I took it for a spin to see if its lofty price is justified.
