Game of Thrones left a lot of story elements unresolved, but one prophecy might actually still come true… albeit in the MCU rather than Westeros. Based on George R.R. Martin’s popular novels, the fantasy epic debuted on HBO back in 2011. Though opening with moderate acclaim and buzz from audiences, the show became an outright cultural phenomenon over the course of its proceeding seasons. The show ended with its highly-divisive eighth and final season earlier this year....

A fan petition to have the final season of Game of Thrones remade has reached over one million signatures, which is a result of growing dissatisfaction with the direction that the end of the series has taken. Many fans aren’t onboard with how things are turning out. The audience reaction to Season 8 of Game of Thrones has been mixed, with many fans feeling unsatisfied with how many of the plotlines that have been built up for almost a decade have been resolved....

Are you a raving gaming addict? Then today let me tell you about an epic win. No, this isn’t my sordid approach at internet meme humor. “Epic Win” is an up and coming mobile phone app that will help you win at more than just video games. Yes indeed, it will help you accomplish things in the real world such as real adventures chores of your real life. Ready to start winning at real life?...

Every great sitcom tends to have a ‘hub’ where the characters will spend the majority of their time on the show, and for Friends, that location was Central Perk. The coffee shop played host to many a classic moment, from Ross and Rachel’s iconic kiss all the way to Phoebe blaring out “Smelly Cat.” The gang always had their sofa and chair situation sorted, with the giant-sized mugs and a red-hot coffee ready to drink....

Even though Friends ended a long time ago, there are lots of people that are still watching it, and some of them have some seriously strong feelings about some of the things that happened in the show. Lots of viewers were excited when the series ended with Rachel deciding to ditch her move to Paris so that she and Ross could be together. But, on the other hand, some people believe Joey would have been the perfect guy for her....

A full trailer for Kingsman: The Golden Circle will arrive on Monday, and to tide fans over Fox have released a second teaser. The boys in suits are back as we edge closer to the release of the sequel to 2015’s surprise hit Kingsman: The Secret Service. That film introduced us to the stiff-upper-lipped world of Colin Firth’s Harry Hart and his London-based spy group. The Golden Circle expands on that, taking audiences to meet Kinsman’s American counterpart, the Statesmen....

Over the weekend I got my hands on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip smartphone. It doesn’t possess the type of flagship specs found on the recently revealed Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, but to me, it’s by far the more interesting phone, thanks to its ability to fold a 6.7-inch AMOLED display into a clamshell form factor that’s much more portable. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is not the first foldable smartphone, but it’s easily the most impressive foldable phone that the industry has seen thus far....

The future of the X-Men franchise is looking bright. Series vet Hugh Jackman may be hanging up the Wolverine claws in March with Logan, but there’s a lot of mutant goodness on the way. Despite the lacklustre response to X-Men: Apocalypse, a new main series film is planned, rumored to be called X-Men: Supernova, and the off-shoots will keep coming too: Deadpool 2 is in development with Ryan Reynolds and returning writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese joined by John Wick director David Leitch, while Josh Boone’s New Mutants is rumored to have built up an impressive cast....

The French anti-trust body, the Autorite de la Concurrence, has carried out searches of Apple’s offices, wholesalers and retailers in a search for evidence into alleged anti-competitive practices by the company, reports the Les Echos newspaper (via the WSJ). The report was light on detail, but likely relates to claims that Apple obliged retailers to buy iPhones in large quantities and to promote them heavily as a condition of stocking the phone....

However you feel about Friends, there’s really no denying that it’s one of the most beloved sitcoms in TV history. Fans rode the Ross and Rachel roller coaster for almost a decade, as they laughed and cried right along with the gang. Even so, the show has been and remains controversial, really showing its age in some respects. The writers couldn’t please everybody, and they certainly didn’t get every relationship right....

Samsung has recently released the latest Galaxy Watch 4 in a couple of variants that offers plenty of useful and advanced features out of the box. This time the Watch 4 from Samsung has come with Google’s Wear OS on top of One UI Watch 3 skin instead of Tizen OS which is a big advantage. But a couple of Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 users are reporting that the Sleep Tracking is not working properly....

Hundreds of iOS developers have been working with Apple in secret Cupertino-based sessions on apps for the Apple Watch, and now we’ve learned that this list includes game developers. According to two sources, multiple “mass market, casual” game developers have been in the running to show off light games on stage during Monday’s “Spring Forward” event in San Francisco. While Apple could end up not showcasing games next week, we’re still told that they are championing the idea of light weight gaming on the Apple Watch....

Here are our biggest questions going into Game of Thrones season 8. The final season of HBO’s megahit series will only be comprised of 6 episodes, though the second half of the season will have its runtimes extended to 80 minutes. Still, with many fan-favorite characters still alive (at least at the beginning), there is a ton of ground season 8 must cover to wrap up the series’ multiple storylines....

Readers of the Game of Thrones season 8 scripts have discovered that a key scene between Theon Greyjoy and his sister Yara was cut, robbing the character of his redemption arc. Theon, played by Alfie Allen, was portrayed as a cowardly figure for much of the series, especially when it came to his disloyalty to House Stark. He redeemed himself a bit when he saved Sansa Stark from Ramsay Bolton, but he returned to his spineless ways soon after, abandoning his sister Yara after she is captured in season 7 episode 2....

Who doesn’t love quirky, cute Phoebe Buffay? Sure, she’s got a dark side, but she’s the hippy vegetarian of the Friends crew, and her wacky ways are just plain charming, most of the time. However, she uses those colorful clothes and Phoebe-isms to occasionally be manipulative and hypocritical, and everyone else in the gang just kind of… accepts it. It’s actually pretty impressive how Phoebe has been able to create an image of herself that is so pure and wholesome, given that she is just as shameless as the rest of the crew!...

Despite the show gaining a loyal fanbase From Dusk Till Dawn season 4 didn’t happen – here’s what we know about the show’s cancelation. From Dusk Till Dawn was Quentin Tarantino’s first paid writing gig and at one point it was earmarked to be the second Tales From The Crypt film, following 1995’s Demon Knight. The project was eventually handed to Robert Rodriguez to direct, with George Clooney and Tarantino himself playing the bank-robbing Gecko brothers, who wander into a vampire bar in Mexico....

No other character in Game of Thrones was as iconic or popular as Daenerys Targaryen. As soon as she started taking charge of her dragons and started taking kingdoms, she quickly became a sensation and one of the strongest beacons of feminism on television. It’s too bad the showrunners made her do a 180-degree tantrum which barbecued millions of Westerosi. Despite this, Daenerys is still one of the most cosplayed characters in Game of Thrones....

Game of Thrones seemed to heavily imply that Tyrion is gearing up to betray Daenerys in season 8. Their relationship has been on unsteady ground for some time now, and “The Last of the Starks” made it seem like his devotion to the Dragon Queen is starting to critically waver. Winning the Battle of Winterfell and stopping the Night King doesn’t result in the unity Jon and Dany were hoping for....

Garmin has announced new versions of its Garmin Drive range of in-car satellite navigation devices, using Bluetooth connectivity to an iPhone or Android phone to provide additional functionality. Most are available in a choice of 5- and 6.95-inch models, somewhat confusingly indicated by 51 and 61 suffixes. Three additional models add further functionality and design features … The entry-level Garmin Drive 51/61 adds free real-time services, such as live traffic, for select models when wirelessly paired with a Bluetooth-enabled smartphone....

When it comes to Friends, the most iconic set from the entire series is Monica and Rachel’s apartment, which plays host to the most scenes in the history of the show and many of Friends’ funniest and most emotional moments throughout the 10 seasons. Even the final scene in the history of the show was shot in Monica and Rachel’s apartment, proving how influential the set is. While the actual layout of things doesn’t change too much throughout the show, there are many hidden details that fans aren’t aware of....
