Mad Max meets anime in all new racing RPG Resistor

The world premier of all new racing RPG Resistor shows fans that this title is more just about racing, it's about fighting for what's right. 

The short one minute trailer that was showcased at the Future Games Show Summer Showcase gave us a first peak at what looks to be a brilliant mesh, of story, racing, Mad Max, and anime. 

Set in a dystopian world covered in sand and tarmac our protagonist Aster will have to race against the top dogs and a cast of characters who look like they've stepped straight out of an anime for entry back into the city. While the motive behind this dangerous endeavor is yet unknown Aster claims that she "has to get back into the city" and so we can only assume that this is a fight that is close to her heart. 

The racing looks like a thrilling ride that wouldn't be out of place in a Mad Max movie, with customized cars, dangerous off-roading, and of course dubious tactics, Resistor will most likely keep fans on their toes until the very end. 

Thankfully, this isn't your average racing game, with a narrative which will hopefully be immersive and purposeful Aster encounters more than her fair share of individual characters in the trailer. With an antagonist that goes heavy on the hair gel and a cybernetic grandma, Resistor looks to be full of surprises, and may well end up on our best racing games given the right execution. 

Resistor will be released October 13, 2023 on PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S, and you can wishlist the game on Steam now right now.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
