Wheel of Time Cast Unite for First Table Read: Watch the Video
The cast of Amazon’s Wheel of Time series has finally assembled and read through the script for the season’s first episode.
Captured on camera for a promotional video uploaded to The Wheel of Time’s Instagram feed, the table read sees the entire cast of episode one sit together to act out the script. Principle among these actors is Rosamund Pike, who plays central character Moiraine.
The Wheel of Time is positioned as one of Amazon’s two contenders to Game of Thrones’.. erm… throne. A high fantasy series based on the novels of the same name, it features swords and sorcery in a world where the power of magic is reserved only for women. Pike’s Moiraine journeys with five other protagonists, and believes one of them might be the reincarnation of a powerful individual whom prophecies say will either save humanity or destroy it.

Return of the Obra Dinn Arrives on Console This Month
After being announced last month, Return of the Obra Dinn has now set its arrival date for console ports.
Developer Lucas Pope posted on Twitter that the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch versions of the game will land on October 18. The date comes accompanied with a rather striking image in the game’s signature graphical style, showing the game being played on CRT TVs (not quite the right period, but close enough I guess).

New Batmonster and Harley Quinn Statues Coming From DC Collectibles
Two new statues from DC Collectibles are making their debut at New York Comic Con, but IGN has a preview for you ahead of the show.
The first is a new addition to the Batman: Black and White line called the Batmonster. Based on a design from artist Greg Capullo, it features Batman transformed into a horrific owl creature as seen on the cover of the New 52’s Batman #6, rendered in black and white. The disturbing image comes from the events of Issue #5 where the Court of Owls break Batman’s psyche to the point where he hallucinates that he’s turning into an owl himself.
Check out new figure and the art pages from Capullo on which it’s based:
The second new collectible we have for you is a new DC Cover Girls statue of Harley Quinn designed by artist Frank Cho. The DC Cover Girls showcases iconic DC women as depicted by iconic artists who have drawn the characters. It speaks to Harley Quinn’s popularity that she already has a DC Cover Girls figure in her classic getup by artist Joelle Jones and now she’s getting a second, unmasked rendition by Cho.
Why Matt Damon Turned Down Avatar: ‘I Couldn’t Do It’
Matt Damon has revealed that he turned down the lead role in James Cameron's Avatar in a decision that cost him millions.

Ring Fit Adventure Preview: Come for the Workout, Stay for the RPG
I’ve been integrating Ring Fit Adventure into my daily life for just about a week now, and it’s kicking my butt. The fitness-RPG is no joke when it comes to challenging me, as someone who has been a regular gym rat for years though lapsed in recent time, leaving me in a sweaty but satisfied mess by the end of each session.
I want to spend more time with its fitness aspects before chiming in on its real longterm health applications. But I’ve been most intrigued by its simplistic RPG trappings, and how they do a great job of engaging me with its exercise elements.
7 Resident Evil Influences We’ve Found In Daymare: 1998
In July 2015, Italian indie developer Invader Games unveiled Resident Evil 2 Reborn, a short-lived fan project aiming to remake RE2 for a modern audience. A month later, Capcom officially announced the Resident Evil 2 remake and Reborn was dead. But from its ashes came Daymare: 1998, an original survival horror game that bears more than a passing resemblance to the original that kickstarted it all.
From HUNK to S.T.A.R.S., here are the seven Resident Evil influences we’ve found so far:
What a HUNK
Masked mystery HUNK has always been a favourite among Resident Evil fans, and this ruthless Umbrella agent is definitely the inspiration for Daymare’s Agent Liev. Both carry an MP5, are dressed entirely in black and their faces are covered by a rather sinister looking gas mask. Look familiar?
