Game of Thrones’ divisive series finale is nearly a year old now, having premiered—ten months ago to the day—on May 19, 2019. As sobering as that may be in a “time flies” kind of way, it has allowed everyone to objectively reflect on things. Indeed, now that the smoke and ash has cleared from our

Ram V had been announced some time ago as taking over solo writing duties as of Justice League Dark #21. He is, if you’ll remember, the writer behind one of my favorite surprises of 2019, These Savage Shores. He’s an inventive and thoughtful storyteller, making him an ideal match for DC’s supernatural world. I was
You can also move your units in any order you want rather than follow a rigid turn order determined by the initiative queue. Wasteland 2 fans will recognize this as a big change to the combat. In Wasteland 3, the turn-based system feels fluid, dynamic, and balanced. Range of movement and attack is displayed clearly

Automated Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) controlled by artificial intelligence First demonstration of fully autonomous, long-term SPM operation An Australian-German collaboration has demonstrated fully-autonomous SPM operation, applying artificial intelligence and deep learning to remove the need for constant human supervision. The new system, dubbed DeepSPM, bridges the gap between nanoscience, automation and artificial intelligence (AI), and
The same can’t be said of the much maligned Hyman, who has nevertheless always been good for a bit of meta-humor. With Plum presumably not skilled enough in Traveling to take the group to Vancouver, Penny’s decision to return the pervert ghost to his body provided an enjoyable exploration of the ups and downs of
Unfortunately, one of Ori and the Blind Forest’s best quirks is missing from the sequel. Ori’s ability to save anywhere, once a selling point, is now gone—and why shouldn’t it be? In the last five years, games have mostly shed any emphasis on manual saves, either doing it automatically as Will of the Wisps does
Before season 2, Westworld composer Ramin Djawadi (who also did the music for Game of Thrones) spoke to Pitchfork about the process of developing the Westworld soundtrack over the last few years. Djawadi was working on Person of Interest with Jonah Nolan when Nolan pulled him aside and asked if he would be interested in doing the music
Echo has been revealed as Overwatch‘s 32nd hero in a new trailer that teases her arrival to Blizzard’s competitive first-person shooter. Blizzard didn’t share any details regarding the hero’s abilities or stats, but it’s expected the developer will roll out that information in the coming weeks. The omnic — the Overwatch universe’s version of a

Due to the overwhelming demand, last week the government started to ration two masks per person per week, as a drastic measure to address the supply
To control flowering and fruit ripening, plants release the gaseous hormone ethylene. Environmental conditions, including drought, salinity and pathogens, can also cause levels of the hormone to fluctuate. Therefore, monitoring ethylene’s release in real time could provide a farmer with important information about a plant’s development and health. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science

While Ray talks the gang through a heist plan, Charlie just walks over to the producer and yoinks the ring, leaving both crews more than half an episode to turn into bachelor/ette parties. The ladies make it rain on a nice young fireman on the ship, while the guys and Charlie get morose and loaded
While we went hands-on with the new expansion, the Demon Hunter class, and many of the new cards, we can’t share details regarding all of the new cards just yet, but we can say that each class (aside from the Demon Hunter class) will get new Legendary class cards known as Primes. Primes assume one

[embedded content] Interestingly, Hearthstone’s Priest class is also set to receive a fairly significant overhaul as part of the Year of the Phoenix update. This overhaul will see certain Priest cards removed from the game’s standard mode of play and be replaced with new cards. Other Priest cards are being reworked entirely. Blizzard hopes that
The real target of Brattle’s plan is the brewery. Brattle already knew that Jake was using the space for private means, so he stages the blackout so he can orchestrate a fire at the brewery while the police are tied up elsewhere. Brattle knows that Spivey’s reputation won’t be able to recover after police find
Franchise, likewise, is about the same, although there’s one clear new addition that could excite some players. You can now create custom teams to take the place of the Miami Marlins or Texas Rangers, or any of the other 28 teams. In practice, that means changing the team name and colors, as well as creating
The cast and crew have been urged to “not report to the set or to the studio without the express permission of your supervisor.” Indeed, the halting of production will not only keep them safe and stem the possibility of spreading the virus in its 10-day symptom dormancy, but also ease the impact that the
An update from 343 Industries suggests that the PC version of Halo 2, available as part of the PC port of the Master Chief Collection, may go into testing as early as the end of this month. “Many of you already know this, but Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary are now on deck for

It is well-known canon that Principal Skinner was a POW during the Vietnam War, and his first reaction to the crisis makes sense. He pees his pants, which is the event to start the panic. Ned saves the day, throwing himself on the grenade, but the fallout is oddly scattered. Kirk Van Houten, Millhouse’s dad,
Cosmos has been around since 1980, and the optimistic tone of both the late Carl Sagan’s show and the current iteration hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson has been the hallmark of the series. In its effort to make science more accessible and more inspirational to the average viewer, Cosmos: Possible Worlds has taken us on
Yet despite all of that I’m still coming out mostly in favor of this episode. Why? Because it has that essential Power Rangers building block. The one that helps even the most divisive episode become memorable. Let’s talk about “Trouble by the Slice” again. I know, seems like an odd time to bring up one
The conclusion of the last My Hero Academia episode teased that La Brava has a powerful Quirk that she’s reluctant to use due to its strength. She lets it loose here and it’s one of the more creative Quirks to show up in the series. Basically if La Brava feels intense love for someone, that

The global coronavirus pandemic which has already been taking its toll on live events, conventions, and the movie release calendar is unsurprisingly now starting to effect the TV schedule. With so many TV shows in production, and in particular broadcast and network TV shows deep into their seasons with finales looming, it was only a
Ubisoft and Devolver Digital have shared updates on their E3 2020 plans now that the event has been canceled due to coronavirus concerns. “The health and well-being of teams, players, and partners is our top priority,” Ubisoft wrote on Twitter. “So while we’re disappointed, we fully support the ESA’s decision to cancel E3 2020.
