News::Louis Vuitton's 2016 collection, as modeled by 'Final Fantasy'

She might have already been decked in Prada (and er, moogles), but Final Fantasy XIII's often-reheated hero, Lightning, is now the face of Louis Vuitton's incoming collection early next year. This all comes direct from the Instagram account of the fashion house's Creative Director, Nicolas Ghesquiere. Watch Lightning wield an LV purse like a "Blue Steel" Buster Sword in the animated teaser after the break.

News::Spend an afternoon with the 'Sonic' charity marathon

The fine folks at Respawn Point are in the middle of a non-stop, seven-day Sonic the Hedgehog marathon, livestreamed on Twitch and benefiting UK charity Special Effect, which helps people with disabilities play video games. The stream started on December 27th and runs through January 3rd. Respawn Point's stream team is playing a lineup of historically significant Sonic games, starting with 1991's Sonic the Hedgehog and including notoriously awful installments like the 2006 Sonic disaster.

News::The best gaming headset (for most people)

By Dennis Burger

This post was done in partnership with The Wirecutter, a buyer's guide to the best technology. Read the full article here.

After more than 100 hours spent researching and testing 37 gaming headsets in all, plus more hours of long-term comfort testing than could reasonably be counted, we think the Kingston HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset is the best gaming headset for most people. It's beautifully built, comfortable on a wide variety of heads, and excellent in sound performance, especially for the price. In fact, you won't get find much improvement unless you spend more than double what the HyperX Cloud costs. This model is also incredibly comfortable—you can easily wear it for hours on end without any appreciable cranial distress. It's a clear winner.
