The Morning After: Preparing for Summer Games Fest 2024<p>I hope you had a quiet Memorial Day. It was a quiet one tech-wise, and I
briefly fought the urge to copy and paste yesterday’s TMA into today’s newsletter hopper.</p>
<p>There were a few teases and glimpses of gaming news, with E3 successor Summer Games Fest kicking off in just over a week. SGF’s <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="

game showcase[/url] is set for June 7. Leaks suggest we may see a new soccer game to rival EA’s non-FIFA franchise at some point, while there will also be more <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="

2D remakes[/url] of classic RPGs and hopefully big reveals at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9. Expect to hear <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="

a lot more[/url] about the next Call of Duty title. And what is PlayStation up to? It’ll have a presence, but will it have any new games?</p>

celebrating its 15-year anniversary[/url]. In summary, there should be
lots of games to play. And if you’re not a gamer? Don’t worry: Apple’s WWDC kicks off just as SGF ends.</p>
<p>The biggest question though: Where are the best tacos in DTLA and can you tell me? I’ll be in Los Angeles to report on the games show in a few weeks.</p>

<p>Engadget’s Dan Cooper contends with breadmaking, both manual and with helpful appliances. He tests some of the top breadmakers, while kneading out his own creations. Would a breadmaker work for you? Or is it time to get your hands dirty? (No more rhetorical questions in this newsletter, I swear.)</p>
