Halloween Comes to Pokemon Go
Happy early Halloween, Pokemon fans! As a seasonal treat, the catch and spawn rates for the following Pokemon have been raised in the AR game: Meowth, Persian, Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Drowzee, Hypno, Cubone, Marowak, and supposedly more! In addition, the “buddy Pokemon” the player has selected will now walk four times faster than usual, making it easier to obtain candy needed for evolution and strengthening combat power. Just remember to stay safe while searching for new creatures: you wouldn’t want to end up like the ghosts of Lavender Town!

Microsoft Reveals New VR Headset
Many VR headsets have been unveiled to the public in only a few years. Now Microsoft wants to join the other companies that have invested in this product with a brand-new headset that will be priced at almost three hundred dollars, way cheaper than the Oculus Rift, which is priced at nearly six hundred dollars. Google’s Daydream, on the other hand, is priced at only seventy nine dollars. Microsoft’s product is currently available for pre-order in Ireland and parts of Europe and Asia. According to the company, Microsoft’s VR headset will be different in that it will work directly with the operating system in the device, leaving “zero need for separate room and zero need for a complicated setup”.
