‘Stranger Things 3’ trailer brings the gang back together

The Stranger Things crew are back together and we get plenty of onscreen action. It starts off with a homecoming party to Dustin and a look at all things ‘80s. Somehow the almost three-minute clip ends up with the Upside Down bringing in its menace and monstrosity into the mix. Perhaps a nod to when the show is going to air (July 4^th), there is even a big Fourth of July party thrown in there.

Robots are coming to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

It doesn’t come as a surprise that there are going to be robots present at the 2020 summer Olympics happening in Japan. The Tokyo Olympics’ Organizing Committee recently launched a Tokyo 2020 Robot Project, which will have these automatons assisting both the spectators and the crew behind the scenes. There will be robots like the one from Toyota (pictured above) that can help wheelchair-bound guests to their seats, deliver their food, and even provide information. Panasonic, on the other hand, will be providing Power Assist Suit exoskeletons for the works to help the carry everything from food, trash, to heavy cargo with ease.

According to the organizers, there will be more robots coming and these will be announced at a later date. Japan is eager to show off its capabilities in the segment, with the aim to demonstrate the “practical, real-life deployment” of the technology.

Something creepy lurks in new ‘Stranger Things’ Season 3 teaser

Just a few moments ago, we got a rather disturbing look at what could be lurking in the town of Hawkins, Indiana. Yes, that’s right. Stranger Things is coming back and we’re being told: “it’s almost feeding time.” And this means rats, apparently. A teaser was just released on the show’s social media accounts and all we see are rats running away. Are they running away from something sinister or towards something to feast on? We’re not quite sure, but the upside down smiley face is telling. Now, we can’t wait for the full trailer to drop. Stranger Things Season 3 is coming on July 4^th.
