Game of Thrones isn’t considered one of the greatest TV shows ever made, but it could have been had the series run for longer. The final two years of the HBO behemoth bore witness to a downturn in quality (at least in the eyes of critics and fans), with problems that could’ve been solved by drawing the story out more. The issues were most prevalent in the recent eighth and final season, where the negativity around Game of Thrones truly took hold....

The opening title sequence from Game of Thrones has been recreated using nothing but Oreo cookies. The sequence was crafted to promote the new limited edition Game of Thrones-inspired Oreo cookies releasing along with the show’s final season. Following its debut in 2011, Game of Thrones has become a staple HBO series alongside other classic shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, and Deadwood. Based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series, Game of Thrones hasn’t just proven itself as a successful series, but fully ingrained in pop culture....

Casterly Rock We’ve heard talk about Casterly Rock plenty of times on the show before, thanks to it being the seat of the once-mighty House Lannister, but even book readers have never visited the location. Though it’s unknown whether the castle will be seen again after being taken by the Unsullied, its sudden appearance on the series after six seasons makes it worthy of mention. Though the show reduced its scale quite a bit, the rock on which the castle sits is deemed to be thrice as tall as the Wall and the Hightower in Oldtown....

The upcoming UFO drama series Blue Book has found its lead actor, and it’s someone who’s very familiar with conspiracies. Game of Thrones alum Aidan Gillen has been confirmed as the star of the forthcoming scripted show from the History Channel, which is being executive produced by Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis. It’s one of several projects that the GOT actor is working on, and also looks to be arguably one of the most interesting....

Game of Thrones is about to return for its eighth and final season, and theories about how it will all pan out are coming thick and fast. There’s a lot for HBO to wrap up in only six episodes (even six extra-long episodes that feel like movies) - from the battle with the White Walkers at Winterfell to the eventual winner of the Iron Throne. Beyond the big questions, however, there are plenty of smaller plots to be tied up and fan theories to be answered (or, more annoyingly, left hanging)....

The classic Friends is one of the most iconic and influential sitcoms in recent memory. Granted, it’s a product of the ’90s and certain plotlines, jokes and outfits wouldn’t fly today, but there’s really no denying the power of the show. Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey fans continue to adore them, sixteen years after the show’s conclusion. The relationships between the gang are the primary reason for the show’s success....

Last month’s Frozen 2 is now, officially, the third Disney animated film ever to make $1 billion at the worldwide box office. The Mouse House has had quite the banner year at the cinema in 2019. Last week even saw the company setting a monumental new record, as it was revealed they earned a record-setting $10 billion at the worldwide box office this year, becoming the first studio in history to do so....

The entire games industry was in mourning in July of last year when it was announced that then President and CEO of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata had passed away after complications due to a tumor at the age of 55. Several messages on social media were posted honouring his memory, often using iconic characters he had helped create, like Kirby. There was even one image showing a rainbow over Nintendo headquarters that was dubbed ‘the Rainbow Road to heaven’, referencing the Mario Kart stage....

Game of Thrones cast members Sophie Turner and Richard Madden reunite, making fans get emotional about the offscreen Stark reunion. Game of Thrones is of course the critically-acclaimed HBO show that premiered in 2011, and is based on the work of George R.R. Martin. After eight seasons of the show, HBO is finally wrapping up the story for Game of Thrones, with the series only having two episodes left at this point....

GeForce NOW is developed by Nvidia and ready to give a tough competition to Google Stadia in the upcoming days. Both the services offer a cloud-based gaming platform and users can play their favorite or popular games on any device like Android smartphone, TV, Laptop, Desktop, and some other platforms. Most importantly, we don’t need any gaming computer or powerful graphics card in order to play games on these cloud-based gaming platforms....

After adding support for the M1 through Rosetta last year, Nvidia has just announced that its GeForce Now cloud gaming service is picking up native support for M1 Macs through its latest app update. Rolling out now, the GeForce Now app for macOS is adding official native support for the Apple M1 chip. As mentioned, support has been available through Apple’s Rosetta compatibility layer since February of last year, but native support will result in better overall performance on Apple’s latest Macs....

Apple’s latest action movie sale is ready for the weekend Apple is back with a fresh $5 movie sale as we head into the weekend focused on action titles. That’s alongside a new $1 rental sale (Reg. $5+), which is perfect timing for Friday and Saturday night movie sessions. Apple has a number of $5 titles this weekend featuring Sylvester Stallone, but there are a number of other movies on sale as well....

Monica is the high strung control freak who keeps all of the members of the Friends crew in line. She is often the one who sets the rules and makes sure everyone abides by them, especially when it comes to cooking and cleaning. Fans cried with Monica as her heart was breaking during her break up with Richard and they shed tears for her once again during her and Chandler’s infertility struggles....

Apple’s PCIe SSDs are already very fast, in part due to the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol used in the latest MacBooks, which dramatically reduces latency times. But future models could get even faster as MacWorld notes that the very latest SSD tech is compatible with NVMe. Optane’s compatibility with NVMe has only just been revealed by Intel, which will of course also be compatible with the Skylake chips Apple is expected to use in its next generation of MacBooks....

The fans have spoken and declared that the Game of Thrones season 7 episode ‘Beyond The Wall’ was the worst “moment” from the show’s penultimate season. ‘Beyond the Wall’ was a controversial episode that took Jon Snow’s Magnificent Seven to the icy plains beyond the safety of The Night’s Watch. However, with so much happening in the previous episode, it seems odd that it would be roasted as the worst episode of the season....

It must be so frustrating for the men of the Night’s Watch to have to hear reports about the squabbling between the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms. All of their conflicts are pointless, as the White Walkers have arisen and are preparing to bring a new Long Night to Westeros. The Walkers have created an army of zombies and are ready to wipe out all the living beings in the world, but the main houses of Westeroes neither seem to notice nor care....

The HBO fantasy show Game of Thrones featured plenty of memorable characters. Some of them were more popular among the show’s fans, some less, but they all had one thing in common - their lives were far from easy. Westeros isn’t an easy place to live, even if you’re born into a noble family, and you could, therefore, expect to be treated well. Sansa Stark learned painfully well that if you make mistakes in this game of thrones, you’ll end up paying for them sooner or later....

Fans the world over have been anxiously awaiting the return of Game of Thrones, easily making its season 6 premiere the spring’s most anticipated television event. Last season left audiences with many burning questions, and it’s almost a guarantee the premiere won’t answer any of them outright. But hopefully, Game of Thrones doesn’t intend to leave us in the dark for too long. Theories about what will happen this season on Game of Thrones are as abundant as ever – perhaps even more so, since unlike past seasons, season 6 is delving further into material that has yet to be published in George R....

The Gardena small garden watering system promised HomeKit compatibility in the first quarter of the year, and has now made good on that promise … Macerkopf says that it has been beta-testing HomeKit support since the end of last year. Four products get the update: Smart Water Control Smart sensor Smart Irrigation Control Smart Power external socket In addition to Siri control, HomeKit support means that you can now have integrated scenes, like switching on external lighting and automatically watering the garden at sunset....

Of all human history’s most troubled and terrifying ordeals, the Second World War arguably ranks highest in terms of ongoing public fascination. Despite film after film having been made over the years, both audiences and critics alike never seem to tire of the colossal tale that pitted good against evil on a global scale - just as filmmakers never seem capable of exhausting the rather endless supply of tales yet to be told about that specific period in world history....
