HBO’s fantasy drama returns for season 8 on April 14, finally revealing who (if anyone) will sit on the Iron Throne and who won’t make it through to the end. Theories on who will survive both the White Walkers and George R.R. Martin abound, but there are a few things that may make some deaths a little more likely than others....
Game of Thrones returns to HBO in Summer 2017 for its seven-episode penultimate season. Details about season 7 are naturally being kept under the tightest possible wraps, but there have been a few tantalizing information leaks, including one concerning the fate of Sophie Turner’s Sansa Stark that was dropped by Turner herself. According to Arya Stark actress Maisie Williams (who herself is not a big fan of spoilers), the season will end with a “huge cliffhanger....
New data from Gartner today sheds light on the smartphone industry in the first quarter of 2020. According to the new report, global smartphone sales declined by 20.2% during the quarter, with Apple’s iPhone shipments falling by an estimated 8.2%. Apple does not disclose unit shipments for any of its hardware products, so data from research firms like Gartner is based on indicators like supply chain sell-through and market research. With that in mind, Gartner estimates that Apple shipped 40....
Ever since Full House aired in 1987, fans have fallen in love with the Tanners. Their heart-warming family dynamic and entertaining storylines have kept fans watching and re-watching the show for years, long after it’s finale aired in 1995. It’s hard to believe that the show has been over for a quarter of a decade now, but the show’s reboot, Fuller House, has definitely eased the pain. While some things have changed in the reboot, one thing has stayed very much the same, the Tanner house....

As noted in a new report on Uber’s fatal accident involving an autonomous vehicle, the Financial Times includes new data on how many self-driving cars Apple may be testing in California.

While DC is going through a Rebirth, Marvel NOW! seems keen on not only reintroducing classic characters, but packing the shelves with all new titles and superheroes. Over the past few years, the House of Ideas has added Ironheart and Moon Girl, given fans multiple Captain Americas and Hulks, and the newest Ms. Marvel seems destined to be one of the publisher’s biggest heroes. There’s also been something of an interesting revival for Spider-Man supporting character Gwen Stacy, who’s back from the dead and loving it....
According to X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner, future movies are effectively on pause until after the Disney acquisition. Disney now expects to complete their purchase of Fox by June, after which point they’ll take ownership of most of Fox’s film and TV empire. The X-Men and Fantastic Four will be handed over to Marvel Studios, with Kevin Feige set to decide how exactly to integrate them into the MCU. This leaves the future of the X-Men film franchise in considerable doubt....
Ah, Game of Thrones. Few shows have tanked their good graces quite as spectacularly. It’s honestly a bit sad since the first six seasons– which do still hold up quite well– are getting lumped in with seasons 7 and 8. That said, it’s not like Game of Thrones was perfect until it suddenly wasn’t. It’s always had issues as an adaptation, most notably when it came to cutting characters. It’s hard to believe this actually ended up becoming the show’s biggest problem....
GameStop will be closing 180-200 store locations globally, the company announced earlier during its Q2 earnings call, as a bad 2019 continues to get worse for the retailer. GameStop has already been reporting major issues with financial profits and future outlook, while the company has laid off several employees in sweeping cuts that took place in August - one of which heavily affected gaming outlet Game Informer, which lost seven members of its staff unexpectedly, some of which were out-of-country reporting on Gamescom 2019 at the time of their release....
Freaks and Geeks is legendary as one of those great shows that never found its audience when it was on the air and was canceled after a single season. Years later, the show would gain popularity and receive the acclaim it always deserved. A big part of the rediscovery of the show was due to the cast members hitting it big in Hollywood. Actors like Seth Rogen, Linda Cardellini, and James Franco got their start on Freak and Geeks, playing the misfit high schoolers who were unlike any teenagers on television at the time....
But amongst all those gems were some real headscratchers. And I’m not even talking about the super weird “adult” games. I’m talking about these ones from the “how did this get made?” reel. I think the titles speak for themselves: Election ’92 Captain Bible in the Dome of Darkness Preppie! II Revenge of the Mutant Camels Did I just unwittingly disparage one of your childhood favorites? If so, I deeply apologize, and please feel free to defend its honor in the comments....

More details and gameplay footage below: It looks like we will be getting more of what what we loved about the original including levels that scroll in both directions, online challenges, a full single player campaign and an all-new death dealing array of traps and hazards to avoid....
Futurama might not be on the air anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s still not an extremely popular show. The reason for that popularity is probably a combination of things, from the humor to the animation style to the fact that it’s set in the distant future. But the characters themselves probably contribute a good deal to why people watch the show. We certainly love the crazy cast of the animated adventures, so we went over to the Myers-Briggs® website to see which personality types fit them best....

The company is said to have come to the conclusion that fitness software has a more stable future at the company, leading to the discontinuation of the FuelBand and other wearable fitness products and the firing of most of the 70 employees currently working in that division. The move is interesting timing....
Companies with deep pockets looking to make a splash could do a lot worse than spending some of their fortune on a Super Bowl ad. Over the years, lots of previously-obscure outfits have worked their way into the public consciousness via clever, creative and at times outrageous spots featured during the year’s biggest sporting and television viewing event. Wix.com has entered the Super Bowl ad fray before, running their “It’s That Easy” clip in 2015....
