Next to your game console, your television is the most critical part of any gaming setup. No matter how much power your console brings or how revolutionary your newest game is, you'll experience it through your TV. If you're a gamer who's thinking of upgrading your current television, you'll probably want to know what TV is the right one for you. Below, we have you covered across a variety of price points. Whether you play games on an Xbox One, PS4, or Nintendo Switch, you'll want to take a look at the best gaming TVs of 2018.
Considerations
No matter what TV you decide to purchase, you'll want to take a few key features into consideration.
4K: Assuming you plan to keep your television around for the better part of the next decade, you'll want to future-proof your set as much as you can. And with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X on the market--and next-gen consoles not too far out--4K is clearly the default resolution going forward. They cost a bit more than less pixel-dense displays, but prices have come down a lot in recent years.
HDR: Most newer TVs support HDR, or high dynamic range. This basically means that the television can display an exceptionally high contrast ratio--meaning brighter brights--and a wider range of colors. Not all HDR televisions are created equal, though, so you have to be careful when buying. However, when it's done right, it makes the image practically burst off the screen.
Input lag: When it comes to gaming, one of the most important specs a TV can have is low input lag. Input lag is the amount of time it takes the TV to display new information from a source. When playing a game, that's the time between you pressing a button on the controller and the result occurring onscreen. Unfortunately, input lag isn't something TV manufacturers put on their spec sheets. To get that information, you need to visit a site like RTings that performs in-depth tests. We've taken input lag into consideration in the selections below.
Best Gaming TV
Source: CNET
For those with deep enough pockets to drop a couple grand on a television, you can't go wrong with an LG OLED C7. For starters, our sister site CNET says it's the best overall TV they've ever tested. Its picture looks better than even more expensive units, with exceptional brightness and a spectacular color range. It also has low input lag for precision gaming.
Beyond its exceptional functionality, it features a thoughtfully minimalist design. With only a thin black border lining the screen and no logo visible on its front, everything but the display melts away when you turn it on.
TVs that cost between $700 and $1,000 fall in the happy medium between budget sets and high-end technological beasts. They don't reach the heights of picture quality you'll find in models that cost twice as much or more, but you can definitely see the improvement when compared with cheaper TVs.
Our pick for this category is the TCL 6 series, which presents terrific image quality, with bright brights, deep blacks, and excellent colors. According to CNET, it has the best picture in its class and can nearly hold its own against TVs in the $2,000 range.
For an even cheaper option, try the TCL 4 series. These are still 4K HDR televisions, but they come in wider range of sizes, including smaller models with scaled-down pricing that starts at under $300. As expected, the image quality is lower than you'll find in the pricier TVs above, but the input lag is nice and low, and it beats out other televisions in this price range.

Microsoft launches Military Spouse Technology Academy
The MSTA pilot program will take place in USO classroom space near Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
Spouses of active military service members face unique challenges. Frequent moves often pull them away from existing support networks, forcing families to build new relationships every few years. Relocations also require a constant job search while simultaneously finding new schools and childcare. This can be especially difficult when new assignments send families to areas with poor employment opportunities and when deployments necessitate extended periods of separation from loved ones. As a result, spouses face a 16 percent unemployment rate, which was four times the national rate for adults over 20 in the year 2017.
Today, Microsoft Military Affairs is expanding its commitment to this community with the launch of a new pilot program uniquely designed to train military spouses with necessary skills for long-lasting and meaningful technology careers that are both high-paying and portable.
Providing programs and support tailored to military spouses is a critical component of giving back to our broader military community. Through the Military Spouse Technology Academy (MSTA) pilot program, Microsoft seeks to deepen its commitment to military spouses by working with nonprofits and business leaders to not only help this community build the skills necessary to succeed in the technology sector, but also to enable military spouses to continue their career progression in the face of frequent moves. The program was specifically constructed to take these needs into account, offering an avenue to skilled jobs that can often be performed remotely.
“The success of Microsoft Software & Systems Academy is evidence that our programs for the military community work,” said U.S. Marine Corps Major General (Ret.) Chris Cortez, vice president of Microsoft Military Affairs. “Now we’re eager to apply what we’ve learned to a new, groundbreaking program called Military Spouse Technology Academy. This pilot program is one of a kind and furthers our commitment to service members and their families.”
Nineteen military spouses will participate in the MSTA pilot program.
MSTA will provide soft-skills training, technology training and mentorship. The 22-week classroom-based program will empower spouses to seek careers in Server and Cloud Administration, working jointly with USO’s Pathfinder program, which supports military members and spouses during their transition with services, opportunities and resources.
Nineteen military spouses will participate in the pilot, which will take place Sept. 26 to Feb. 28 at a USO classroom space just outside Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Lakewood, Washington. The schedule is optimized for spouses, who often are primary caregivers to their children. The USO will provide wrap-around assistance, helping cohort members complete MSTA and seek purposeful employment.
MSTA enjoys broad support across Washington state at the highest levels. “It’s incredibly important that we help promote opportunities for the families and spouses of the men and women who serve in our military. I am proud that Washington has the first statewide effort to establish a military spouse employment empowerment zone. We have great partnerships in place with installations from all branches of military service and commitments from a wide range of employers who are ready to leverage the workforce talents of this important community,” Gov. Jay Inslee said. “I am pleased that Microsoft is expanding their commitment to families of service members and look forward to future efforts to support our nation’s military spouses.”
Gina Kirby, an MSTA mentor and principal specialist for Azure sales at Microsoft, is a military spouse. “I am proud to see Microsoft commit time, resources and energy to a key participant in our military community: spouses,” she said. “The sacrifices of a military spouse are unique and challenging. I have seen firsthand the abilities these individuals have, the obstacles they overcome and the impact they have on the group at large.”
MSTA is designed to address the unique career challenges military spouses face.
Today, Microsoft Military Affairs will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the launch of the MSTA pilot program. J.D. Crouch II, CEO and president of the USO; Senator Steve Hobbs, 44th District; Joint Base Lewis-McChord Commander Sergeant Major Kenny Clayborn; and Elizabeth O’Brien, senior director, Military Spouse Program, Hiring Our Heroes will also be present to support and celebrate this achievement.
“Military spouses are extremely strong, resilient and innovative — and the value and benefits to building up this community are tremendous,” said USO Vice President of Programs Jeremy Albritton. “When we support our military spouses, we also strengthen our service members and military families. The USO is thrilled that companies like Microsoft are making a dedicated effort to help educate and empower military spouses, particularly within the field of technology.”
MSTA reflects the success of Microsoft Software & Systems Academy (MSSA), which launched in 2013 to provide veterans and transitioning service members with critical technology skills for the digital economy. Since its inception, Microsoft has seen a retention rate of over 90 percent of MSSA graduates after the second year and beyond — compared with most transitioning military members and veterans who stay in their first job less than two years. In March 2018, Microsoft completed Phase One of its 2015 stated goal to open 14 MSSA locations coast-to-coast with the capacity to graduate 1,000 students yearly.
Microsoft is proud of this groundbreaking new pilot program as part of its journey to continue learning how best to serve military spouses. It’s a small part of the company’s broader commitment to members of the armed forces through MSSA, YouthSpark and more.
Welcome to the Weekender, your weekly look at the best new games, sales, and updates. We’ll lead off with not one, not two, not even three, but four updates to great games. We’ve also got the western release of a monster hunting game and a whole slew of sales. Read on.
Let’s start with a free update to one of the best games of 2018: Meteorfall. The “Demon Update” is out now and is aimed at players who have bested the game with one or more classes. The update adds Demon mode, which confronts the player with a series of five increasingly difficult levels to tackle. Each level layers on additional challenges and culminates in a boss battle with a different demonic foe. The update also adds 20 new cards and two new events to the game. Two content updates since Meteorfall released early this year is great, but the developer isn’t done yet. There’s at least one more coming. The game is absolutely worth checking out if you’ve not done so yet.
Another update…this time for space-based RTS Iron Marines. The Borealis update adds a new planet to discover and of course fight over. Borealis is a world of ice with ten new missions against a new alien foe and a powerful boss to take on. The update also introduces three new premium heroes: Blue Dragon, a starfighter pilot, Roy the alien gunslinger, and Sparas a seasoned pathfinder.
Yet another free update to a great game? Sounds good. Competitive turn-based board game Antihero has added a new area of the world to fight over, the dueling docks. This map takes place on the water and features a fight for the control of a pair of steamships.
The last update to mention this week is to a very recent game. Vampire’s Fall: Origins just came out a couple weeks ago and has already become one of my favorite mobile RPGs. Recent updates have added some nice features into a potion that’ll increase the frequency of random encounters for those looking to grind out gold and XP. There’s also a new respec option where you can completely reapply your skill points, which is great. For the PvP crowd hit points now scale to three times the amount when battling another player, which extends fights and allows for new tactics. Finally, the devs have included opt-in ads for those who want to show some support for the free game.
If you’re interested in the Monster Hunter games but would rather befriend the beasties you find CAPCOM has a game for you as well. Monster Hunter Stories flips the franchises usual script and has you looking to befriend the monsters you find and ride them across the world on an adventure or take them into battle against other players online. This is the apparently full-featured port of the Nintendo 3DS game. It’s been out for some time in Japan and is now being released in other markets.
One of the better builders and puzzle-game options on mobile, Mini Metro, is on sale in the App Store for the cheapest it’s been in 9 months. I gave it four stars when the game came out and the developers have since added a bunch more cities and game modes.
Hex-and-counter naval wargame Carrier Battles 4 Guadalcanal focuses on WWII air battles in the South Pacific in 1942 and 1943. It gets frequent updates and is rarely on sale (it’s been over two years). If you’re into military simulation games and want to save a buck give it a glance.
The missing link Baldur’s Gate game, Siege of Dragonspear, takes place between Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II. It features a 30-hour campaign that explores new regions of the Sword Coast, within the long running Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms campaign setting. It’s normally $10 and is on sale for its lowest price yet.

How Github Can Be The Most Powerful Ticketing Tool
How Github Can Be The Most Powerful Ticketing Tool
Compared to all other ticketing tools, GitHub Issues is the only platform giving entire freedom to define whatever types of labels you want. All other tools have an opinion on label types, such as priority, severity, component, epic, etc. Now if you consider that the number of GitHub public active repositories amounts now to 25 million at the end of 2017, and that, well, most of these public (understand open-source) projects are managed through GitHub, then you could be wondering if any best practices have emerged. Are there any unique best practices that cannot be applied to other tools? Should we all switch to GitHub to manage our projects there?
In the past few years, I’ve contributed to the development of two developer platforms – CodinGame and Tech.io. Together they total more than 1 million developers. I’ve recently co-founded another company, Anaxi with the mission of delivering actionable business intelligence for the whole software engineering organization. So, part of my job is identifying growing trends in software development tools. In other words, I think about this kind of thing quite a lot!
First, let’s analyze the 20 most popular open-source projects, how they are structured, and which labels they use.
Then, we will try to find common patterns, to help us understand when and how those best practices can be applied to your project.
Finally, we will compare with other existing project management tools, so you can decide whether GitHub is worth using as your project management tool.
The Top Projects on GitHub
We analyzed the 30 highest-velocity open-source projects on GitHub listed by the Linux Foundation, and selected what we felt were the most well-organized projects. We then analyzed the labels they used to organize their issues, and especially what we call their label categories.
What do we call a label category? Some labels show the following pattern: area/networking, area/hosting, area/backup. “area” is the label category for which there can be lots of labels.
Some projects use “/” to define categories, like in the example above, and others “:”, as Tensorflow and Angular do.
Here is the list of the projects we selected along with the label categories they use:
By the way, did you notice that most projects are backed by big companiescorporations? Tensorflow and AngularJS by Google, React by Facebook, Moby by Docker, Ansible by RedHat and ElasticSearch by Elastic. In the list of 30 that we analyzed, 9 were backed by foundations and only 6 were not backed by an entity. We analyzed them all and kept the best-in-classes in terms of project organization, ending up with one for each (not on purpose): Kubernetes by CNCF (foundation), and DefinitelyTyped (not backed).
Ok, let’s deep dive and see what is interesting about this now.
The Patterns and Best Practices
We identified 7 different types of label categories that those projects were using. If you think it would make more sense to organize the categories differently, don’t hesitate to leave a response – we’re all ears. But here is our take on it.
Type or Kind:
In other project management tools, you would get bug, feature, task or subtask here. But as you can see, GitHub projects are able to expand far beyond this with experimental, discussion, technical-debt, failing-test, docs and much more. That could be interesting to any company. Right now, we generally put everything that is not a bug or feature as a task, but being able to specify what the ticket is should be valuable, whatever the size of your team.
Status/State or Triage/Resolution or Lifecycle:
We grouped these label categories together, as they all inform about the state of the ticket. But each one has nuances. That’s why Kubernetes uses all three – Status, Triage and Lifecycle. Triage and Resolution are used similarly; they explain how the ticket got to this Status/State. While Lifecycle describes the state of the ticket within its state, and has values as active, frozen, rotten, stale. If you have a large number of tickets to handle, this can become very handy, as you can have a process to resurface tickets or just stow them away to enable more focus on what matters.
Priority or Severity or Frequency or Workaround:
We put all four of them together, as they address the same overall issue. But there are important nuances as well. You could actually think that severity, frequency and workaround are 3 different topics that explain the priority better. And a better prioritization can have a massive effect on your business.
Component or Area or Feature:
These are used in a similar way, unlike most of the others. You won’t see a project using Component and Area or Feature, for instance. However, the interesting part is some projects use subcategories, such as area/platform/… or area/os/…, or just different label categories but for the same use, like browser:.. or cli:.. This enables you to have 2 levels of labels to define more precisely which part the code is really about. And within your team, you could have one person responsible for a subcategory, and another for a full category and all its subcategories. So, better delegation and accountability. This is especially helpful to big teams with big projects.
Difficulty or Size or Experience or Need:
This part is about what is required to solve this ticket. It can be time, experience or other dependencies. Other project management tools, like Pivotal Tracker, enable you to put estimates on tickets. The point here is that you can also add information about what level of experience is required for the ticket, which is pretty important for open-source projects. You will want newcomers to start with easy tasks. Angular also uses the label category “needs” with values such as breaking change, browser fix, docs, feedback, investigation, jquery fix, merging, more info, public api, review, squashing, test, work. It enables you to be more explicit about the work to be done to move the ticket forward. Typically, breaking change is very useful to know, so you can prepare the community or whole team for this change.
Milestone Related:
On GitHub, you can add milestones. But some projects add additional label categories related to milestones, such as milestone/needs-approval, milestone/needs-attention or milestone/removed. This creates opportunities to discuss and decide. Realistically, part of some weekly meetings could be dedicated to milestone/needs-attention. Ansible also uses labels with an indicator of the versions – affects_1.2, affects_2.3, etc – that the ticket can affect. This is pretty important when you have clients and customers using previous versions – forward compatibility issues – which is kind of every software unless it is a cloud-hosted SaaS product.
Pull Request Related:
GitHub is first and foremost used for code versioning, and therefore pull requests. Angular typically has the following label categories:
Kubernetes has do-not-merge/ with values like blocked-paths, hold and work-in-progress.
This enables clarification of the reason for the state of the ticket. My personal feeling is that this doesn’t apply to most non-open-source software projects, though. Feel free to disagree!
So which ticketing tool is best?
First, let’s take note that any additional information you ask your team to provide is an extra effort for them. And if they don’t feel it is worth it, they will naturally not make the effort, and it will just be useless. So, if you’re considering editing your tools and processes, you’d better consider only what is worthwhile for your particular project.
Let’s take 3 different examples to illustrate the point. In no way do I claim that the points below apply to your particular case; only you know what would or would not work for your team.
If you’re a startup with less than 30 engineers
I would think expanding the type of tickets to documentation and refactoring still offers value. Your deployment processes shouldn’t be that complex, so you shouldn’t need any additional label possibilities around status and pull requests. Similarly, milestones shouldn’t hold many intricacies. Having the ability to detail frequency, severity and whether there is a workaround still holds value, but in a startup mode, you would rather maximize the time spent on the output than on a clean process. Finally, the product shouldn’t be too complex for you to have several layers of components. So overall, the flexibility that GitHub offers is a nice-to-have, but clearly you can have very clean processes without it, by using other tools that offer better user experiences – like Trello, for instance.
If you have several teams working on several products
If you want to have some kind of visibility over all your projects, you’d better be using the same tool in all your teams if you want your team to build consistent reporting on top of it. I would think it is pretty similar to the startup case. It really depends on the team sizes.
If you have large teams working the same products
Typically, this would apply to any complex software, or actually open-source projects. In that case, all the points listed with the label categories apply. And any additional label category could add value. The point is no longer about individual output, but the best communication for the best collective output. That’s actually why a lot of enterprises build their own in-house ticketing tool, with little success. GitHub could be a great solution for them. However, there is a UX and visibility problem with GitHub, but it can be fixed. How? Read on.
But GitHub is missing a lot…?
In terms of project management features, GitHub doesn’t offer the best experience, although it has progressed a lot on this point lately. But we’re still missing quite a lot:
The interface lets you input labels as text; there is no picker. So you have to know the basic structure of the labels.
You cannot make any label required when you create an issue
Labels are great if you want to monitor the tickets assigned with them. You can’t do that on GitHub, unfortunately.
Visibility over your projects on GitHub is pretty absent, to be honest.
That’s why Jira is the most used tool across the world. You can partially customize your workflow (unfortunately not at the extent of GitHub); it offers a good enough UX to manage tickets on a day-to-day basis and a set of reports so you have some kind of visibility.
What if you could integrate GitHub and use your label categories as if they were part of GitHub initially (with pickers)? Then, you could also monitor the issues for each of those labels and get the visibility you were missing. Better yet, what about integration of GitHub and Jira, so if you are using GitHub for some projects and Jira for others, you could have one single interface for your reporting and get the visibility you need.
I hope this article will help you think about your processes and, more precisely, the labels you use.

WoW Classic Demo Included With BlizzCon Virtual Pass
Blizzard is once again offering a BlizzCon Virtual Ticket so those who can't attend in person can take part in some of the festivities from home. But this year, Virtual Ticket holders can actually try an otherwise exclusive demo of World of Warcraft Classic.
According to the announcement, home viewers will be able to download the BlizzCon WoW Classic Demo that will be playable on the show floor for attendees starting on November 2 around 1 PM PT. That will include two early-level zones, one for the Alliance and one for the Horde. It will be available until 10 AM PT on November 8, so those who attended BlizzCon in person will have time to go back home and play more of it themselves as well.
Virtual Ticket holders will also receive commemorative items to display their faction alliance, available starting today. You can equip the War Mantle of the Alliance or the Horde, and the Stormwind Champion's War Banner or the Orgimmar Hero's War Banner.
Other goodies include a Legendary Demon Hunter skin for Sombra in Overwatch, a variety of Heroes of the Storm cosmetics, and as-yet unannounced bonuses for Diablo, Hearthstone, and Starcraft. The Virtual Ticket costs $50--an increase of $10 from last year--and also gives you access to watch extra broadcasts and panels from the show floor. BlizzCon will kick off on November 2.

Bringing the power of Windows 10 to the Robot Operating System
People have always been fascinated by robots. Today advanced robots are complementing our lives, both at work and at home. Warehouse robots have enabled next-day deliveries to online shoppers, and many pet owners rely on robotic vacuums to keep their floors clean. Industries seeing benefits from robots are as diverse as manufacturing, transportation, healthcare and real estate. As robots have advanced, so have the development tools. We see robotics with artificial intelligence as universally accessible technology to augment human abilities.
Microsoft is at ROSCon 2018 in Madrid, Spain and we are excited to announce an experimental release of Robot Operating System [ROS1] for Windows. ROS is a set of libraries and tools that help you build complex robots, used in many cutting-edge robotic projects around the world. This development will bring the manageability and security of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise to the innovative ROS ecosystem.
Windows has been a trusted partner of robotic and industrial systems for decades. With ROS for Windows, developers will be able to use the familiar Visual Studio toolset along with rich AI and cloud features. We’re looking forward to bringing the intelligent edge to robotics by bringing advanced features like hardware-accelerated Windows Machine Learning, computer vision, Azure Cognitive Services, Azure IoT cloud services, and other Microsoft technologies to home, education, commercial, and industrial robots.
Manufacturers want to make robots more aware of their surroundings, easier to program and safer to be around. Governments, manufacturers, and academics around the world are investing in the next generation of manufacturing, sometimes referred to as “Industry 4.0”. Microsoft is working with Open Robotics and the ROS Industrial Consortium to bring the Robot Operating System to Windows. Microsoft has joined the ROS Industrial Consortium whose mission is to extend the advanced capabilities of ROS to manufacturing and improve the productivity and return on investment of industrial robots.
At ROSCon 2018 in Madrid, Spain, Microsoft is demonstrating a ROBOTIS Turtlebot 3 robot, running the ROS release known as Melodic Morenia, that recognizes and steers toward the person closest to the robot. The robot runs Windows 10 IoT Enterprise on an Intel Coffee Lake NUC using a new ROS node that leverages hardware-accelerated Windows Machine Learning.
Microsoft is also showcasing a ROS simulation environment running in Azure. It demonstrates a swarm of robots running in a virtual world connected to an orchestration system and controlled via Azure IoT Hub.
Microsoft will host the Windows builds for ROS1 and shortly ROS2, as well as provide documentation, development and deployment solutions for Windows. To get started using ROS for Windows and ROS with Azure, please visit the Getting Started guide at http://aka.ms/ros.
