We’re only weeks away from the premiere of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones. The fantasy epic debuted on HBO back in 2011, where it has continued to amass critical acclaim and an impressive following ever since. The story is adapted from the Song of Ice and Fire novel series by George R. R. Martin, which follows a fight for power in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Meanwhile, a mysterious force of White Walkers, leading an army of zombies, threaten to sweep down from the north and wipe out all of humanity....

[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Game of Thrones ahead.] - Wrapping its sixth season earlier this year, Game of Thrones provided another 10 episodes of chaos, deceit, twists and turns that, for the first time, kept both viewers and fans of the original book series on their toes. The hugely successful HBO fantasy series has now been running for quite some time and is well-known for its roster of colorful characters; some of them hugely likeable and some of them not so much....

Following the roll-out of the second season of the AMC original series spinoff Fear the Walking Dead, which is franchise tie-in to the preceding basic cable mega-hit The Walking Dead, it would appear as though each and every major genre series on television would be ripe for successive spinoffs to roll out. That being said, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss might be served well to consider developing a franchise tie-in for their ever popular fantasy drama Game of Thrones for HBO....

Sansa is the last true Stark alive in Game Of Thrones. After a long wait, it’s just a few months until the final season of HBO’s fantasy drama, and there’s a lot of questions about how the show will end. Unsurprisingly, many of them center on the Starks, the family at the center of Game of Thrones. Since the first season, when the Starks at Winterfell served as the introduction to Westeros, fans have been rooting for the Stark children and their direwolves....

Several deleted scenes from the final season of Game of Thrones may have better set-up Daenerys’ (Emilia Clarke) turn to become the Mad Queen. It’s been several months since HBO’s fantastical series based on George R.R. Martin’s novel ended its eight-season run with a divisive ending. Following a well-loved first several seasons, the series’ final shortened year was picked apart by both fans and critics for its nonsensical narrative turns and rushed pacing....

Since the end of Game of Thrones season 5, a great deal of the discussion set around the series has focused on two questions: Will George R.R. Martin manage to finish the sixth book of the show’s source material in time for the new season? And: Is Jon Snow dead or alive? One of those questions one has definitely been answered – as Martin last week admitted that he won’t be done with the sixth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series prior to the start of the season....

It has not been a great year of publicity for publishers like Bethesda Softworks and Ubisoft. Major games publishers today are emboldened to engage in some of the most egregious anti-consumerist practices seen in the industry to date. This year alone, AAA titles have seen botched launches, undelivered promises, and unexpected pay-walls, and more. Sometimes a company will walk back or attempt an apology for an issue as big as these, and sometimes publishers stay the course, testing their consumers’ loyalties to the fullest....

After much speculation that the iPhone 7 Plus would include an extra GB of RAM, bringing its total to 3GB, a new GeekBench benchmark for the iPhone 7 Plus (iPhone9,4) confirms the amount. The iPhone 7 Plus is thus the first iPhone to come with 3GB of RAM, making it the largest amount of RAM to appear in an iOS device outside of the 4 GB-infused 12.9″ iPad Pro. Interestingly, the benchmark also shows that only two processor cores are handling the load, even though both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus ship with four-core A10 Fusion systems-on-a-chip....

We will never look at a hockey mask the same way again because of Jason Voorhees. Seeing it instantly reminds us of the first time we ever watched a Friday the 13th movie, and we will always think of Jason when we see that same mask outside the films. Yet, there’s more to the wardrobe of Friday the 13th than that infamous mask. In fact, there’s a treasure trove of trivia regarding the attire of Jason Voorhees and other Crystal Lake residents....

Right from the start, Joey was a fan favorite due to his incredible one-liners, his amazing personality, and his heart of gold. While he was often used as the comedic relief at times early on in the show, that wasn’t always the case for him. The show provided some very serious storylines for him at times, but he always had the underlying immature moments that would crack up the audiences on a regular basis....

Even though Friends has been off the air for over 15 years now, it’s one of those shows that remains in the lexicon. Whether it’s because of nightly reruns on Nick At Night or people streaming it on Netflix, it has managed to stick with viewers for a lot longer than its 10 seasons. Part of the reason is that the show hit so many perfect notes and when it was on a roll it was doing everything right....

Phoebe Buffay was undoubtedly a smooth-talker, despite going about this in her own quirky way. She wasn’t as overt about flirting as someone like Joey Tribbiani, but Phoebe was suave and charming nonetheless. She met her true love, Mike Hannigan, in season 9, and she would ultimately marry him before the end of the series. Mike was actually Phoebe’s third husband, which says a lot about her way with men. The quirky, lovable character certainly had a way with words and an alluring weirdness that never failed to charm her romantic interests....

Fugoo is the best Bluetooth speaker you’ve probably never heard of. I got mine after a few readers (and PR folk) rightfully noted its omission from our Best Bluetooth Speaker of 2014 list. I have been listening to it ever since and yep, it should be among the top and for $135, it is a no-brainer… Fugoo is a relatively new company comprised of industry veterans that makes only one thing: a waterproof 40-hour battery Bluetooth speaker....

iPadOS 13 gives you the ability to use a mouse with an iPad, but iOS 13 also lets you use a mouse with an iPhone. YouTuber Napabar decided to have a little fun with this… As he explains in the video, the mouse looks more modern, as it’s from a later platinum era, but the actual model number is unchanged, and it’s mechanically and electronically identical to the original. Amusingly, he overlays the current Magic Keyboard over the Macintosh one and shows that if you ignore the bezel, the actual keyboard size is virtually unchanged....

There are plenty of changes ahead in season 2 of Hulu’s puerile comedy Future Man, and the new trailer makes sure to introduce as many of them as it can. Building off the events of the season 1 finale, the hapless Josh Futterman (Josh Hutcherson), along with time-traveling warriors Tiger (Eliza Coupe) and Wolf (Derek Wilson), must contend with a bizarre, dystopian future world that is the direct result of their interference with the time stream....

Star Wars Celebration 2019 will feature a panel dedicated to Galaxy’s Edge, shortly before the theme park opens. Later this year, fans will be able to experience the galaxy far, far away like never before via Galaxy’s Edge, an ambitious and extensive addition to Disney’s California and Florida locations that’s been in the works for the past handful of years. With immersive attractions like Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance, Star Wars themed food & beverage menus, and much more, Galaxy’s Edge promises to be a special adventure for all....

WARNING: This post contains spoilers for Game Night. Game Night screenwriter Mark Perez said in a new interview that he would “love” to make sequels to the well-received comedy-mystery down the road, if the opportunity arises. To be certain, the movie’s unique premise - a murder mystery game-turned-actual kidnapping mystery that fakes out an unwitting group of friends - is the brainchild of Perez and producer John Davis. The mostly-praised Game Night is off to a good start with an 81 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes....

Tyrion Lannister had one of the most incredible, engaging and, at times, devastating journeys throughout Game Of Thrones’ eight-season run. He was the pariah of the Lannister clan which led him to drown his sorrows in booze and women. But over time, his story led him down many different paths and he became the fan-favorite character of the show. He had a lot of depth to him that we didn’t initially realize was there....
