20 Things We Learned From the New Stranger Things 3 Trailer
This Stranger Things trailer breakdown contains speculation, theories, and potential spoilers for Season 3 - we don't know any more than you about how the season plays out, but steer clear if you want to go into the new episodes completely oblivious, just in case our predictions come true.
The new season of Stranger Things is nearly upon us, and Netflix has released one final Season 3 trailer to whet our appetites. One thing is already clear - just because the new season takes place during summer rather than Halloween doesn't mean the show will be any less creepy or terrifying.
The Gothic Terror of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is not a science-fiction film.
That’s a controversial statement to make, and not just because the people who saw it might disagree; most of the people who made it probably would too. In its marketing, there was nothing to indicate that Fallen Kingdom -- which was released just about a year ago, on June 22, 2018 -- wouldn’t be exactly the movie its audience was expecting: a crowd-pleasing dinosaur adventure with IMAX-ready action set pieces, charismatic stars, and of course, as many dinosaurs as possible. Yet while Fallen Kingdom delivered the movie the trailers sold, it also provided one the trailers didn’t, because threaded between the seams is possibly the riskiest trick any 2018 blockbuster pulled: completely changing the genre of its franchise.
Anthem Is ‘Not Working Very Well’ Admits EA CEO
EA CEO Andrew Wilson has admitted that Anthem’s ambition to bring together story-focused gaming and looter-shooter mechanics is “not working very well”, but he vows that the publisher will stand by both the game and developer BioWare in hope of improving Anthem’s fortunes.
Talking to GameDaily.biz, Wilson said of the two player demographics Anthem attempted to bring together: “One was traditional BioWare story driven content, and the other was this action-adventure type content. About the 30 or 40 hour mark they really had to come together and start working in on the elder game. At that point everyone kind of went, ‘Oh, hang a minute.’ Now the calculation is off.”

At this point, you can't really buy a bad multifunction printer, as most have shrunk in size while feature sets have become standardized at this point. Almost every make and model can make prints, scan documents or photos, make copies, and send faxes just like any other. Nevertheless, I've done all the research and rounded up the best options below.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Is Suffering Online Issues
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, the remake of Naughty Dog’s classic kart racer, has released to critical acclaim, but is suffering some unfortunate online issues.
Many players have taken to social media channels to discuss the problems they are encountering in CTR’s online multiplayer. As demonstrated by a video linked to us on Twitter, players are seemingly disconnecting and disappearing off the track.
Question to @BeenoxTeam @CrashBandicoot @Activision...is Crash Team Racing Online supposed to play this badly? I'm hoping there'll be a patch soon I know bugs are expected but this is somewhat disappointing. #CTRNitroFueled #CrashTeamRacing @IGNUK @ign #PS4 #PS4Share pic.twitter.com/vd18Ze0Rb8
Batman Is Getting a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is about to have a new star added to it for everyone's favourite caped crusader, Batman.
As reported by Variety, the new list of honorees has been announced by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's Walk of Fame Selection Committee. These final picks were narrowed down from hundreds of nominees and include, among many others, the comic book hero Batman.
From the motion picture category, Julia Roberts, Spike Lee, Mahershala Ali, and Chris Hemsworth are all among those to receive stars. Television saw Andy Cohen, Wendy Williams, Christina Applegate, and Terry Crews all make the cut.
How Breaking Bad Influenced Marvel’s Black Widow Prequel
It turns out the critically acclaimed TV series Breaking Bad has had some influence in the upcoming Black Widow film.
In an interview with Gizmodo's io9, Marvel Studios' president Kevin Feige talked about the benefits of making a prequel. In particular, he said he hopes the Black Widow movie will draw from elements of Breaking Bad and its prequel series Better Call Saul -- though, of course, he still caveats that this movie is only hypothetical because Marvel and Disney haven't confirmed it is actually happening, despite the fact it is currently filming in Norway.
Link’s Awakening Switch: I Stole From a Shop and Was Murdered
After playing over 30 minutes of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remastered for Nintendo Switch I learned three main things: The combat feels great, old-school Zelda puzzles are still fun (and unchanged), and this game is struggling to perform acceptably on the Switch (at least in full-screen mode on a TV) in its current state. Oh, and I also learned that stealing is wrong (albeit very fun). There's a video of the incident below.
Let’s start with the good stuff: The shield is now mapped to the right trigger so it no longer takes up one of two inventory slots. This means you can block, stab, swipe, spin, AND jump (with Roc’s Feather, which I got in Tail Cave) all without juggling inventory slots. If you’ve played the original game, you know this was annoying and fixing it is a big deal. Here's some combat footage from my playthrough today:
Stranger Things Season 3 Trailer Teases the Mind Flayer’s Endgame
We're less than a month away from the premiere of Stranger Things Season 3, which debuts on July 4 as part of Netflix's genius scheme to keep everyone in America glued to their TVs this Independence Day instead of out getting sunburnt.
Ahead of the show's return, Netflix has released a new Stranger Things Season 3 trailer that offers us an even better look at the threat facing Mike, Eleven and the rest of the Hawkins gang in the new eight-episode third season.
