Game of Thrones has been off the air for six months and fans are still not over it. The quality of season eight is still being debated, and the output of quality fanart and fanfiction remains high. That doesn’t mean official content isn’t still being created, it’s just that the official content is more of a look back than a look forward. Earlier this month, on November 5, Insight Editions released its behind the scenes book, Game of Thrones the Costumes, the Official Book from Season 1 to Season 8....

Earlier this week, Game of Thrones, one of HBO’s most popular series, finally came to an end after 8 seasons. This awe-inspiring fantasy series, based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novel series, has made a lasting impact on fans since 2011. Compared to previous seasons, the show’s final season has garnered mixed reactions among fans. While the season has no shortage of awe-inspiring moments, there are still some that made fans want to cry out of sadness and/or frustration....

Sophie Turner weighs in on how the final read through of the season 8 Game of Thrones scripts had everyone involved in tears. Game of Thrones has been one of those rare shows that managed to actually increase its viewership with each season. Almost every episode of the show this year managed to out-do its predecessor in terms of audience size, and that acclaim has brought with it critical accolades. Game of Thrones has landed Golden Globe nominations alongside those from SAG, AFI, and other prestigious organizations....

Fans of the Gears of War series have been waiting for more news on the upcoming Gears 5 for some time. E3 2019 has been on hand, though, and the Xbox press conference revealed a new trailer that talked secretively about being bound by blood. What’s more, The Coalition also confirmed the game’s release date. Gears 5 may drop a couple of words from the franchise’s moniker, but Xbox gamers are hoping that it will be a strong return to form for the property....

Rachel. Ross. Monica. Chandler. Phoebe. Joey. Not many series have a cast of main characters that have become so iconic that they’re recognizable by first name only. The long-running sitcom Friends, however, is not like most other series, standing the test of time as one of the most successful and beloved sitcoms to ever air. While it was the main characters of the series that drew people into watching Friends for the long term, there’s no denying that there’s much more to the series than its core cast of Central Perk regulars....

Google’s decision to force the transition to Workspace rankled non-business users who set up a free G Suite account over a decade ago. Google stopped offering the free edition to new customers in December 2012 but kept the service alive. Then last week it informed users that this edition will cease on July 1, 2022, and that they’d have until May 1 to pick an alternative paid-for Workspace account. The G Suite legacy free edition let users have a Google email address ending with their own website domain rather than the “@gmail....

Given the overall reaction to the final season of Games of Thrones, it’s no surprise that the finale was met with a mixed reception. Regardless, it was nice seeing most of our favorite characters make it out alive. Perhaps most surprising was Arya. Arya Stark has been a fan favorite since the very first episode. Given her penchant for getting into deadly situations, her survival seemed doubtful. Now, as she sails off into the west, we can look back on one of the show’s best characters....

Game of Thrones had plenty of memorable villains over its eight-season run, but probably the most intriguing was the Night King. The leader of the army of the dead, the Night King posed the biggest threat to our heroes and Westeros in general with his massive army and ancient powers that made him almost unstoppable. The defeat of the Night King in the third episode of the final season stuck out to many fans as a waste of the character....

Caution: Spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones season 8 - The trailer has arrived for episode 4 of Game of Thrones season 8. GOT has delivered its long-awaited Battle of Winterfell episode and certainly held nothing back in terms of major character deaths, shocking twists and huge plot developments. While the episode may have had many viewers frantically hitting the brightness control on their remotes, it also brought one of the show’s central stories to a close, as the battle against the Night King began and ended in epic fashion....

When author/creator of the A Song of Ice And Fire novels George R.R. Martin disclosed that his latest book, “The Winds Of Winter”, would not be complete to publish before Game of Thrones season 6 airs, many fans were disconcerted. For loyal readers of the book series, this development represented a tough decision between forging ahead with the show and inevitably encountering massive spoilers or a potentially long wait for the next book - and due to the show’s huge popularity, some pretty tricky internet spoiler avoidance....

Apple said that the new iPad Pro with its A12X chip was faster than “92% of portable PCs” at its announcement event on Tuesday. Apple uses ‘PCs’ as a nice euphemism for both Windows and Mac computers without directly slighting its own Macs. Geekbench benchmarks for the new iPad Pro have shown up online, and the scores are certainly impressive. The iPad reports ~5030 in single-core, and ~18000 in multi-core. The single core score goes to toe-to-toe with a 2....

If there’s a single role that helped put actress Courtney Cox in the limelight, it’s surely that of Monica Geller in Friends. Also known as the “mother goose” of the group, Monica is definitely the strongest and most underrated character in the entire series. And though she’s often depicted as a bossy control freak, she’s also nurturing, sensitive, mature, and compassionate. That’s why it’s tragic that most fans consider her to be the worst Friends character....

Friends is known for many things, including its catchy theme song, but if the producers had stuck with their initial plan, the opening sequence would have had a very different song, and one that could have hurt the show. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, Friends debuted on NBC in 1994 and came to an end in 2004 after ten successful seasons. The series followed a group of six young adults (Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey, and Ross) living in New York City and doing their best to balance their social, personal, and professional lives, and everything else adulthood threw their way....

With the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones not releasing for another year, Maisie Williams may have hinted that Arya Stark will, in fact, survive the finale. A vague image she posted on Instagram has since sparked speculation about the possible spoiler. With the primary focus of the series winding down to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Jon Snow (Kit Harrington), and Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), character fates are impossible to predict....

Whatever opinions people might have of Game of Thrones’ final season, there’s no denying that the entire fandom is eagerly awaiting the release of the next book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, titled Winds of Winter. Game of Thrones fans frustrated with the way the show wrapped up are looking to George R.R. Martin to reclaim and do justice to the beloved story, while those content with the show’s conclusion look forward to reading a more fleshed-out version....

Physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has explained how Daenerys’ dragon Drogon was able to burn down King’s Landing on Game of Thrones. When he’s not probing the mysteries of the universe, Tyson spends his time spreading the gospel of science via his Star Talk podcast as well as frequent guest appearances on talk shows like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Sometimes, Tyson also chimes in on popular culture, with a specific emphasis on scientific accuracy (or lack thereof) in movies and TV....

With the game console market in a state of unprecedented flux as Sony and Microsoft both plan to release upgraded versions of their Xbox One and Playstation 4 devices sooner than anyone had expected, the industry’s eyes are currently also fixed on Nintendo and their still largely-mysterious new device, Nintendo Switch. A modular console that converts from a home TV-based machine to a handheld portable, it’s being seen as a potential game-changer and a sink-or-swim moment for the veteran Japanese gaming giant....
