Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

This week, Westworld is back and despite my issues with how season two unfolded, I’m ready and waiting for season three. Aaron Paul and Marshawn Lynch are interesting additions to the cast, and with the robots venturing out of the park for the first time, its incredible visuals should go to another level.

Still, the big question is if this show can offer viewers something more than just another game -- with teasers that reference our current fears about AI, personal data and privacy, the potential is clearly there.

'Call of Duty: Warzone' is a free battle royale game

If you already own a copy of Modern Warfare, you'll be able to play the game starting at 11am ET on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Everyone else gets to join at 3pm ET. So what does Warzone bring to a very crowded field of free battle royale shooters?

Try having 150 players in a match, a massive map called Verdansk that blends popular CoD maps like Overgrown and Terminal into one area, vehicles and a Gulag mechanic that pits defeated players in 1v1 matchups where the winner rejoins their living teammates. It’s even ready for cross-platform play, so it doesn’t matter what system your friends are on. If you’re interested in playing, make sure you start the download early -- if you don’t have Modern Warfare installed, it could take up to 101GB of data to get everything sorted.

Check out Nick Summers’ report on competitors challenging the notion that esports is a young person’s game, right here.

Apple’s iPad and Keyboard Folio is all I need

Apple’s iPad and Keyboard Folio is all I need Six months ago, Dan Cooper was outraged at the prospect of Apple charging $160 for a keyboard folio add-on to its seventh generation iPad. Then it went on sale for $100 on Black Friday (it’s currently available on Amazon for about $144), and he bought one. Now Dan can explain why it’s the physical keyboard that “fixes the iPad.”
