Commerce/Deals Writer

Antonio is a commerce writer for The Verge, covering tech deals and trying to save you [and himself] money. He comes from the world of photography and gets very obsessive about lenses and the discourse over "bokeh." When not deal hunting, he does wedding photography on the side, plays lots of video/tabletop games, collects vinyl records, and professes his love for the great state of New Jersey.

Notice me, Rick-senpai.

Adult Swim put out another short teaser for Rick and Morty: The Anime, and when I say short I mean it’s less than one minute of some out-of-context footage. There’s not much to explain Summer doing her best Sayla Mass impression or Rick doing the Umbrella Academy meme with parallel universe versions of himself, but it all feels on-brand.

Sometimes I’ll settle for cheap over good.

Working the deals beat often means buying things I don’t truly need because I can’t pass up a good value. So here I am again, ordering a set of Philips Hue bulbs from Woot that are $29.99 for a four-pack (around $40 off). They’re not the brightest and they don’t turn fancy colors, but damn they’re cheap and I’ll find a use for them.

Got another job for you, 621 — only this time you’re up against the world.

Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon is getting a fresh v1.05 patch on December 19th, complete with new ranked online matchmaking and a global leaderboard. The PvP mode is also getting a batch of new maps and personalized nameplates for mecha sickos to feast on.

It’s a good time to jump into FromSoftware’s big robot resurgence, as the game is also on sale right now.
