In this issue
Around this time last year, we were in the midst of a lockdown and the holiday festivities weren't looking so, well, festive. But this time, things are a bit more different. COVID cases are going down, vaccination numbers are going up, and the economy is slowly recovering.
And so in this special year-end issue of Speed, we give you a rundown of devices, games, and streaming media that not only made headlines in 2021, but also made our current situation better, or at least more bearable, one way or another.
We even highlight six individuals who not only demonstrated excellence through their accomplishments, but have also set the stage for continued innovation and reaching for higher and broader milestones.
Because this is the first time in a long time that kids can be kids again (with health protocols still in place, of course), we'd also like to help you put a smile on the faces of your sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, and godchildren. So check out our Holiday Gift Guide for some fun, smart, and thoughtful gift ideas to help them curb cabin fever and take their online learning to the next level.
While you're at it, do read our interview with Xiaomi ambassador, Kapuso star, and Millennial It girl Gabbi Garcia—and find out why we love her.
There's a lot more in this year-end issue of Speed, so download your copy (bit.ly/SpeedNovDec21) or flip the digital pages on ISSUU (bit.ly/SpeedIssuuNovDec21) or Magzter (bit.ly/SpeedMagzter).

STARDEW VALLEY SUPREMACY
Stardew Valley is definitely one of the most successful and most popular indie games to have come out in the last few years. What started out as a fan-made alternative to Harvest Moon (Back to Nature is definitely one of my ultimate favorite games of all time), the game eventually received financial support and a cult following, paving the way for its release in 2016. By 2020, the game has sold over 10 million copies.
