For 12 years now, Google’s Street View cars have traversed roadways around the globe with that unmistakable camera rig affixed to the roof which bit by bit has captured sprawling megacities, less populated towns and hamlets and everything in between. On Friday, the search giant pulled back the curtain a little more on its ongoing effort to map the globe, revealing the breathtaking amount of the planet the company has now mapped and photographed.

To date, the company says its Steet View cars (and trekkers, which are camera rigs that are manually lugged where cars can’t go) have captured so many billions of images that Google has now collected more than 10 million miles of Street View imagery. To put that in perspective, that amount of Google Street View imagery would circle the globe more than 400 times.

As I alluded to in last year’s list of my most anticipated games of 2019, this year was for all intents and purposes the last full year of the generation. Next holiday season, Sony will launch the PlayStation 5 while Microsoft will launch the Xbox Series X, and although both are expected to be backwards compatible with games from the current generation, many game studios have already begun to redirect their efforts to next-gen development.

But there are still plenty of games to look forward to next year, even if the generation is winding down. Below, we’ve collected our 12 most anticipated games expected to launch within the next twelve months.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is just a few days away, but the movie is hardly able to match the excitement and buzz that surrounded Avengers: Endgame. Thanks to Infinity War, Avengers 4 was the most talked-about piece of entertainment in town, in a year that brought us not only the end of Marvel’s Infinity Saga but also the final season of Game of Thrones — and now, the last movie in the third Star Wars trilogy.

With nearly eight months gone since the Endgame’s premiere, we’re still talking about it, as we’ve been getting plenty of new information in the past few weeks. The film premiered on Disney+, complete with an exciting bundle of deleted scenes that are still fun to watch, even though they didn’t make it to the final cut — especially one that would have significantly altered the course of events. At the same time, Disney is pushing the film for award considerations, which means we now have the full script available online and it’s another source of exciting Endgame Easter eggs. Like the fact that a different major MCU villain was supposed to have a cameo in the film at one point before Marvel decided it to cut it from the final version.

It’s particularly crowded everywhere this time of year, not just because of the moody weather, but also because everyone is going places. Traveling during the holidays can be a massive chore, especially if it involves lots of driving. And while there are at least a couple of great apps to help you out with directions and all sorts of relevant navigation data, it turns out they have a massive flaw, one that a newcomer is looking to fix.

Sure, Waze will warn you about all sorts of incidents, snowy roads included, and Google Maps will show you great places to eat, and tell you whether the next train is crowded. But neither will tell you when it’s best to stop to make the most of your journey while on a drive. There’s one app that will, and that’s why you’re probably going to want to check out Nexit on the iPhone this Christmas.

The silver Apple Watch Series 5 in 44mm was the best-selling Series 5 model we covered during this year’s big Black Friday and Cyber Week sales, which makes sense because it was down to its lowest price ever… until now.

Definitely snag one on sale while you can, and get a bunch of silicone Sport Bands in different colors while you’re at it for as little as $5.99 a piece!

We’re nearly there, Star Wars fans — one week away from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. In many ways, The Last Jedi felt like a sort of ending to the Skywalker saga. But then again, there are three movies in a trilogy. It doesn’t help that The Rise of Skywalker’s plot has leaked online, and there seem to be different leaks that corroborate the same storyline. And things aren’t necessarily looking up for the final film. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go watch it as soon as it launches, something I plan on doing next week in the midst of all the craziness that precedes Christmas.

Until then, however, we have at least three brand new movies hitting cinemas this week that you should be aware of. First up is Jumanji: The Next Level, which will easily win the box office this weekend, although it won’t be able to hang on to that top spot for more than a week. Uncut Gems is the rare Adam Sandler film that people say is so good he should get an Oscar for it. And then we have an unusual Christmas story: Black Christmas. If you’re staying in, by the way, then Ryan Reynold’s action flick 6 Underground is waiting on Netflix for instant gratification.
