More than 50 years after The Beatles called it a day, the Fab Four’s legendary final concert arrives for streaming. The audio of that iconic 1969 rooftop concert dropped at the stroke of midnight, and is the companion to Get Back, Peter Jackson’s marathon Beatles documentary which dropped in three parts from last November on Disney+.

The Office Now Has a Mobile Game for People Stuck in 2009
It may seem hard to grasp the appeal of a video game format where your only task is to press a button over and over, but The Office went off the air nine years ago and it’s still dominating streaming numbers, so there’s a market for everything. East Side Games Group knows this, which is why they developed The Office: Somehow We Manage, a new idle game available for download on iOS and Android. In the game, players collect characters from The Office and work to sell paper at a digital Dunder Mifflin. As is the case in all idle games, this “work” earns players in-game cash. It’s a pretty straightforward concept, but the characters in the game reference plotlines from the show, so you get your nostalgia fix in a new, interactive way. Talk about beating — or clicking — a dead horse. ...
