Electric vehicles haven't taken over yet, but in 2020 nearly every automaker was discussing its plans for the segment. Between regulations muscling combustion engines out and advancements in battery technology and infrastructure, the groundwork is in place for electrified vehicles to take the center stage. Andrew Tarantola runs down the year's biggest headlines in EVs, and yes, that naturally includes a lot of Tesla and Elon Musk discussion.

I've been thinking about the way The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, one of the best thing's Nintendo's yet made, reminds me of another game I played over a quarter century ago. I can't remember where, but at some point in early 1990 I read an interview with Richard Garriott--the same Richard Garriott (de Cayeux) now celebrated for catching a $30 million ride to the International Space Station in 2008. But in 1990, he was still better known as "Lord British," after a benevolent monarch who ruled over a fantasy computer domain Garriott dreamed up in the early 1980s. The interview concerned the sixth game in that series, Ultima VI: The False Prophet, a swords and sorcery romp that also, unusually for a video game, wrestled with themes like racism and xenophobia. It's been 27 years since I've thought about gargoyles and codexes and vortex cubes, thus I can't say how meaningful a story that seemed weighty then might come across now.
