Belkin’s wireless HDMI adapter freed me from a long annoying cable when I travel

I've never been comfortable logging into streaming services on a hotel or Airbnb TV. My alternative for watching our favorite shows on a big screen is traveling with a 10-foot HDMI cable and a USB-C-to-HDMI adapter for directly connecting our mobile devices to an unfamiliar TV.

New 'Cryo Archive' Launch Trailer Promises A Confrontation With A Classic Marathon Enemy

Marathon Bungie Extraction First Person Shooter FPS Halo Destiny PlayStation Studios First-Party Game Cryo Archive Raid

Bungie's first-person extraction shooter, Marathon, launched earlier this month on March 5, and since then, players have been killing each other, looting Tau Ceti IV, and, for the most committed, attempting to solve a massive ARG puzzle. After weeks of work, which included killing 500 million UESC enemies, the puzzle is complete and the Marathon ship floating in the sky is ready to board. With its doors open, players can finally partake in the Cryo Archive, an endgame map that seems to be Bungie's extraction spin on its Destiny raids. 

The Cryo Archive will officially go live in Marathon tomorrow, on Friday, March 20, and will see players race through its seemingly haunted corridors to take down UESC, other Runners, and maybe even a Compiler, a classic S'pht enemy from Bungie's original Marathon trilogy. In the Cryo Archive launch trailer that Bungie released today, we get a glimpse of a Compiler (in the image above) at the end of it, indicating players will likely have to fight this enemy to complete the run and exfil out of the Marathon. 

Check it out for yourself below in the Marathon Cryo Archive launch trailer: 

Game Informer published its Marathon review-in-progress yesterday, and we expect to attach a final score to the game after playing the Cryo Archive-related content in order to give our readers a complete look at all the content in Marathon.
