Game of Thrones Is Getting a Documentary About Making the Final Season
HBO announced Game of Thrones is getting a documentary about the making of the eighth and final season called Game of Thrones: The Last Watch.
This two-hour documentary debuts on HBO on May 26, one week after the series finale. Described as a chronicle of the show’s “most ambitious and complicated season,” The Last Watch "delves deep into the mud and blood to reveal the tears and triumphs involved in the challenge of bringing the fantasy world of Westeros to life in the very real studios, fields and car-parks of Northern Ireland."
HBO is labeling The Last Watch documentary as a feature film, and considers it more than a making of documentary, calling it "a funny, heartbreaking story, told with wit and intimacy, about the bittersweet pleasures of what it means to create a world – and then have to say goodbye to it."
Cyberpunk 2077 Devs: E3 2019 Is ‘Most Important Ever’ for Projekt Red
CD Projekt Red says E3 2019 will be its “most important one ever,” even when compared to last year’s major showing from Cyberpunk 2077.
Announced during a fiscal year 2018 financial results presentation, Projekt Red president and CEO Adam Kiciński said (via translator): "Last year's E3 has been the most important one so far throughout the whole CD Projekt history. But this year's is going to be the most important one ever for us. We have really prepared a strong show."
During a Q&A session, Kiciński noted that the studio is expanding into an office space attached to its current facilities. When asked if this means Projekt Red will hire upwards of 250 more employees, Kiciński said “well that's the target.”
5 Stories of Keanu Reeves Being the Best Person Ever
Note: With the news that Keanu Reeves is playing a character in Cyberpunk 2077 hitting this week, we figured it was a good time to revisit these stories of him being the Best Person Ever...
Keanu Reeves, who is known around the world for his performances in such films as John Wick and The Matrix, appears to also be a pretty amazing human being as yet another story of him being a Good Samaritan has come to light.
In March, Yahoo! Entertainment reported that Keanu Reeves was on a United flight that made an emergency landing in Bakersfield, California. He preceded to take it upon himself to help with logistics and and help get himself and other passengers to their original final destination, Los Angeles.
Ranking Every Season 1 Legend in Apex Legends
Season 1 of Apex Legends has just launched and with it, a new Legend has entered the arena and there have been slight balance changes to existing legends. This ranking is based on a combination of solo and squad play, and is entirely subjective; the best legend is ultimately the one that you connect most with and that fits your playstyle. But, without further ado, here is our ranking of the Legends in Season 1.
9. Caustic
At the bottom of the list, we have Caustic. The Season 1 balance change adjusted the hitboxes for Caustic, Gibraltar, and Pathfinder but unfortunately, I don’t think it’s enough. Apex Legends is a game where aggression and evasiveness are rewarded because of the fast-flowing nature of combat, and Caustic still sticks out like a sore thumb. Although his gas traps did receive a buff of a faster cooldown and increased proximity radius, they really only shine in closed off areas and buildings. Skilled Caustic players will block off doors and choke points with their traps, but shooting the base of these canisters will render them useless. If you enjoy setting up ambushes and playing relatively defensively, Caustic is the perfect legend for you, but with the fast pace of Apex Legends and his still large hitbox, I’ve got Caustic at 9.
The Key Vampire Rules That Inspired What We Do in the Shadows
In 2014, Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi unleashed their vampire comedy What We Do In The Shadows into the world. The documentary-style film focused on a group of undead flatmates in New Zealand and subverted vampire flicks with a loving lens. Now, five years later, the minds behind the cult hit have returned with a brand new series spinning off from the film which features a whole new coven of bloodsuckers, and whilst on the Toronto set we learned everything you need to know about the show before it premieres on March 27th.

9 Licensed Games That Got It Right (Plus 5 That Didn’t)
It’s no secret that licensed games have a reputation for… let’s charitably call it mediocrity. But they’re not all soulless tie-ins desperate to capitalize on the success of whatever IP the developer happens to have landed. After all, for every infamous bomb like E.T. or Colonial Marines, there’s an Arkham series or The Witcher; and to that end, here are nine licensed games that were actually pretty solid, and five that, well… weren’t.

Marvel Boss Says Chris Evans Wasn’t on Original Captain America List
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirms Chris Evans wasn’t originally on Marvel’s list for Captain America, though once the role was offered to Evans, he turned it down twice.
A cover story from The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Marvel began searching for its Captain America in early 2010 (Captain America: The First Avenger began shooting that June after Evans was cast in March), though Evans wasn’t on the initial list. Marvel was “determined to cast an American as Cap,” but Evans wasn’t being considered mostly because he had played the Human Torch in two pre-MCU Fantastic Four films.
Rick and Morty: The 10 Biggest WTF Moments
Rick and Morty may well be one of the darkest TV shows on the air today, animated or otherwise. As wacky as Rick Sanchez’s journeys through the multiverse can be, the show is never afraid to get incredibly bleak, ridiculously weird or some combination of the two. Rick and Morty knows how to leave fans saying… WTF?
As we continue the long wait for Season 4, here are the ten most WTF-worthy moments in Rick and Morty history.

Here’s What One Punch Man Season 2 Will Be About
By the end of One-Punch Man’s first season, we’d been treated to ever-escalating stakes, bigger baddies, and larger-than-life battles to save the world, with even the toughest foe being brought down by a single punch from our hero Saitama. The anime is all about the boredom that comes with perfection: the idea that a life without struggle, challenge, and growth is a stagnant and boring one. Saitama, time and again, is promised a challenge and is constantly left disappointed.
So where does the show go from here? Based on what’s laid out in the manga and what’s been shown in trailers, we have an idea of what could happen next in One-Punch Man. Reconsider scrolling further if you want to keep Season 2’s story more of a surprise.
