"I was kind of seeing my family there, and it's a special moment to represent my country in the NHL at home in Prague," Hertl said.
"So, a lot of emotion, and it was just a special moment. I'm so proud I can be even here."

BRUSSELS, Oct 6 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators are asking games developers whether Microsoft will be incentivised to block rivals' access to "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard's best-selling games, according to an EU document seen by Reuters.

"I have no doubt making the BDR compulsory for licensees, giving police more agility and the courts more scope to place problem drinkers on the BDR will lead to a reduction in alcohol-related harm and crime."

The EU competition enforcer also asked if Activision's trove of user data would give the U.S. software giant a competitive advantage in the development, publishing and distribution of computer and console games, the EU document shows.

Regulators also wanted to know if there would be sufficient alternative suppliers in the market following the deal and also in the event Microsoft decides to make Activision's games exclusively available on its Xbox, its Games Pass and its cloud game streaming services.
The cost of a new VR headset might be going up these days, but the quality of VR experiences still makes the price tag worth it. The best headset out there, the $400 Quest 2 offers a completely wireless experience, with access to a huge library of fantastic games like Resident Evil 4 and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners -- it can also be connected to a PC to play titles like Half-Life: Alyx. Yes, it's a great time to get into VR, but it might get even better in the coming months.

While we haven't had a chance to test the new model yet, we expect it to be a strong Windows alternative to the MacBook Air. Also, if you want to save money, the 2021 XPS 13 with 11th-gen Intel chips is available for less now.

Dell Inspiron 16 Plus




Best 16-inch laptop for creators on a budget













There are plenty of 15.6-inch laptops, but 16-inch models like the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus are something of a rarity. The 16-inch display is a great size since the laptop is barely bigger than a 15.6-inch model, but you get more room for work and a roomier keyboard and touchpad along with it. For this Inspiron, Dell packed in performance parts including Nvidia discrete graphics (though it's nearly half the price if you go with Intel integrated graphics) and the display covers 100% sRGB and 81% AdobeRGB color gamuts, which is good enough if you're getting started with creating web content. Also, the laptop has a more premium fit and finish than we're used to seeing in the Inspiron line.

If your idea of the best VR headset is to have the best image quality in consumer VR, wins. For serious gamers (or ), it's probably your best choice. The 2,160x2,160-per-eye resolution and 114-degree field of view are the best at this price range, and the lightweight, comfy headset also has fantastic drop-down speakers designed by Valve. It's technically a Microsoft Windows Mixed Reality headset that prefers to launch into Microsoft's native Windows 10 VR ecosystem, but it bridges with Steam VR and works with those games and apps, too. Built-in camera-based room-tracking is easier to set up than the Valve Index's external base stations, but is more prone to tracking errors. The included controllers, based on Microsoft's VR controller design, feel clunkier than either the Quest 2 controllers or Valve Index controllers. Also, the over-ear speakers are your only audio choice: there's no headphone jack.

Playing PSVR on a PS4 still holds up, though. Sony has delivered -- and continues to deliver -- many excellent virtual reality games, many of them exclusives. (A few good games to start with are .) Note that this PlayStation VR headset is increasingly hard to get, and that may continue as Sony pivots to PSVR 2.

Matches at Wembley are becoming increasingly common for the Lionesses, but Scragg is one of the few women to have played at the old Wembley, having taken part in two 15-minute matches against Scotland as a warm-up to the men's FA Cup final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace in 1990.

Valve's headset is starting to age, but its Steam VR and Vive hardware compatibility, its excellent audio, and its  still make it hardware worth considering. Valve's "knuckle" controllers are pressure-sensitive and can track all five fingers, making them almost like gloves. Not all apps make the most of them, but Valve's hardware is mix-and-match compatible with the HTC Vive, which also is built on the Steam VR platform. The Index headset has excellent audio and a sharp, wide field-of-view display.
