Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

In keeping up with our waning attention spans, some pretty ridiculous (read: super cool) guns are popping up in our games.

From the brutal electrified shotguns and explosive machine guns of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! to the deceptively adorable teddy bear cannon from the soon-to-be released Sunset Overdrive.

But what if The TNTeddy was really there, firing explosive laden teddy bears? Or what if you could use The High Fidelity, a mechanised vinyl slingshot (who doesn’t love a Nick Hornby reference?), to sling some unwanted jazz at your mortal enemies?

Thankfully, there’s now a video to show us what that might be like.
