Game of Thrones loves killing off characters. Since the beginning, the show has kept audiences on their toes as main characters and fan-favorites are beheaded at any point. With Season 8 just about here, any character who has made it this far deserves a round of applause. While no character is really safe, a few seemed likely to make it this far. Main characters like Daenerys, Tyrion, Jon, and Arya needed to make it to the end, even if it is a bloody end....

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Game of Thrones up to season 8, episode 3. Game of Thrones fans were shocked by Arya Stark killing Night King in season 8, episode 3 - but looking back, it’s easy to see that the show has been setting up this big moment since the very beginning. The death of the Night King at the Battle of Winterfell wasn’t too much of a shock in and of itself, of course....

The Battle of Winterfell in Game of Thrones season 8 is one of the most anticipated events of the TV show’s final season, but it’s also an event that may mean a lot of characters die fighting the Night King and the Army of the Dead. Game of Thrones has been building to this moment ever since the first ever episode when Ned Stark executed men of the Night’s Watch who had deserted after an encounter with White Walkers....

Friends mostly follows the lives of the six main group members. However, to keep things exciting, the main cast had to interact with other friends, co-workers, romantic interests, and family members. While viewers excitedly tuned in to watch their favorite six characters in kooky situations for ten years, some supporting characters deserved more screen time than they were given during the series’ run. As there were already so many main characters, the focus did not deviate from them often to allow some of the show’s recurring cast the opportunity to make a larger impression or appear more often....

On Friends, Joey was notoriously known for loving his bachelor lifestyle and his love of women. Whether it was because of his skills as an actor or because he had a natural charm, Joey knew the right things he had to say to end up with a date. It was the only area of expertise where his advice was taken seriously by Ross and Chandler. However, while some of Joey’s pick-up lines have proven to be successful, fans have wondered if they would work in the real world, because sometimes the things Joey did made no sense at all....

HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel is already filming under the working title Bloodmoon, but a leaked logo may confirm it as the show’s official title. Earlier this year, HBO announced the prequel series would begin filming in the summer, and the Bloodmoon working title was first revealed at the start of production. However, creating a logo for a working title is unusual, which suggests it could, in fact, be the Game of Thrones’ prequel’s actual title....

For some time now, gaming video content - most popular characterized by Let’s Play videos - has become something of a mainstream phenomenon with younger viewers, and the latest report has it that the entertainment medium is steadily superseding primetime television. While more popular YouTube personalities like PewDiePie and Markiplier may be the most readily citable examples of gaming video content creators, numerous other personalities and independent channels have sprung up over the course of the past several years....

Acclaimed actor and director Taika Waititi joins the cast of Free Guy, a video game-inspired action/comedy movie starring Ryan Reynolds. While Waititi’s work both on and offscreen in his films What We Do in the Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople earned raves from many, it wasn’t until he entered the MCU with 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok that Waititi finally became a household name. Not only did he helm the hysterically funny and endlessly thrilling Thor threequel, Waititi also played the hilarious supporting character Korg, now an MCU favorite....

Canadian inventor Raymond Li has spent the last 10 years working on this project, and it’s finally seeing the light of success. He calls the invention JetLev, and unlike the commonly conceived rocket powered jetpacks that you’ve seen in James Bond movies and The Rocketeer, this one is powered by water. The pack weighs approximately 30 lbs, and produces 430 lbs of thrust that will allow you to fly up to speeds of 22 mph at a maximum height of 30 feet....

Rachel may very well be Ross’ lobster, but that doesn’t mean that they were actually perfect for each other. Sure, they became the nation’s sweethearts and people really wanted to see them end up together, but the road to Rachel getting off the plane was a very bumpy one. Countless times throughout Friends, Ross Geller is far less than a perfect boyfriend, or just a friend for that matter. While they do break up several times throughout the show, they never do split up for good, despite the fact that there are several moments on the show when it would have been warranted....

Did another actress nearly take over Jennifer Aniston’s role as Rachel Green on Friends? Aniston was a core member of the cast over Friends’ decade-long run, but that almost wasn’t the case. The series could have played out much differently in the early stages. Rachel Green appeared in every episode of Friends. In the pilot, she was introduced as a naive runaway bride who ran into her childhood friend Monica (Courteney Cox) and decided to relocate to New York City....

A Friends reunion may actually happen as Jennifer Aniston reveals that the whole cast is game to reprise their respective roles. The cult favorite sitcom from David Crane and Marta Kauffman catapulted Aniston to stardom alongside her co-stars: Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc. Running for 10 seasons with 236 episodes, the series debuted in 1994 and wrapped up in 2004. Centering on a group of 20-year-olds living in New York City, Friends received critical acclaim throughout the entirety of its run....

Samwell Tarly of Horn Hill was born the eldest son of Randyll Tarly. He should have been a lord but was instead was disinherited and sent to take the black and become a Brother of the Night’s Watch. While Sam’s relationship with his family is tragic there are many heroes, including the Bastard of Winterfell, Jon Snow, who should be very grateful that Sam’s father sent him away. The big bookish boy would go on to make quite a difference for the people around him, at least some of the time....

Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke is eagerly anticipating what her current showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, will do with their planned series of Star Wars movies. True, the actress has beaten the two to the punch. She is one of the stars of Solo: A Star Wars Story. As Han’s childhood friend Qi’ra, Clarke’s character is seemingly the female lead of Solo, making it her first big (and hopefully more successful) role since the underwhelming Terminator Genysis....

A Game of Thrones fan rewrites season 8 and details the changes to the series’ ending through a video essay. The clip is mostly focused on the Night King’s relevance in season 8, along with prioritizing narrative logic. Since being published on May 22, the video has received over four million views. When the Game of Thrones series finale aired in May, many fans complained about sloppy writing and rushed pacing....

Warning: This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Game of Thrones Game of Thrones star Isaac Hempstead-Wright thought that he was reading a joke ending from a fake script when he learned that Bran ends up sitting in the Iron Throne. Based on George R.R. Martin’s novel series titled A Song of Ice and Fire, the HBO fantastical show created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss ended over the weekend with a final 80-minute episode....

While Android users usually turn to Wear OS for a smartwatch and iPhone owners default to the Apple Watch, there are some great options out there that focus on fitness above all else. That’s what Garmin has been known for, and this year, the company is introducing the Venu 2 Plus and Vivomove Sport, both with a neat take on how to use a voice assistant on your smartwatch. The Garmin Venu 2 Plus and Vivomove Sport were announced today as the brand’s latest Android and iPhone compatible smartwatches....

As wait for the next-generation iPhone launch continues, Gartner is out with new numbers this morning that portray the wait’s effect on worldwide smartphone sales. According to the research firm, global smartphone sales fell 2.3-percent in Q2 from the last quarter. Gartner attributed the wait for the “iPhone 5” as a large reason for the slump in sales. With smartphone sales up more than 49 percent year-over-year, total global device sales reached 419 million units during the quarter....

Devolver’s new Metroidvania-lite game Gato Roboto is an entertaining monochromatic Metroid homage, but isn’t particularly memorable or deep. It’s tough for games to survive and thrive on charm alone, even bound by the joint superpower of charm, chunky cute pixels, and wide-reaching retro references. Devolver Digital’s new release Gato Roboto is meager, and that’s not just a reference to its short total play-time, because there’s a feisty worthy spot in all of our download libraries for focused, bite-sized games....

App Usage Tracking for Android So, just install the app from the Google Play Store – the basic version is free and it should cover most users’ needs. The difference between the two is that you have to start the free version after Android has booted (the paid one, which costs $0.99, starts by itself). The other perk of the paid version is that you can set its tracking accuracy – the better the tracking, the bigger the battery consumption....
