We Reveal Three New Shadowverse: Omen of the Ten Cards
The next Shadowverse set – Omen of the Ten - is launching at the end of September and I’m hugely excited. Why? Because the overall theme is quite dark and twisted, and it feels like developer Cygames is having heaps of fun with the gameplay concepts that come along with it.
Omen of the Ten, you see, refers to ten characters – each a legendary card in the set – each of which has a unique theme, often tied to their Omen number. The Omen of One, Mjerrabaine, for instance, is Shadowverse’s first card to promote singleton decks – i.e. decks with only one copy of each card (aside from Mjerrabaine himself in this case). Valnareik, Omen of Lust – the seventh Omen and a Bloodcraft legendary – has an ability that’s activated if your leader has taken damage at least seven times during the match. The ninth Omen, meanwhile, is Raio, Omen of Truth, a Runecraft legendary with a fanfare that spellboosts all the cards in your deck nine times. Woah!

Every TV Show Canceled So Far This Year
We're keeping a running tally on all of the TV shows canceled in 2018 so far. Since we first made our list back in May, sixteen more shows have been put on the chopping block.
Some of these cancelations were due to low ratings, while others, like ABC's popular Roseanne revival, were axed because of off-screen controversies. However, ABC has picked up The Conners, a Roseanne spinoff, without Barr.
For Fox's Brooklyn Nine-Nine, there was a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of a rainbow-colored peacock named NBC, while Syfy's The Expanse was saved by Amazon for Season 4. And Netflix resurrected Fox's Lucifer for a 10 episode Season 4 after a passionate fan campaign, while also saving Designated Survivor with a Season 3 renewal. Even NBC's Timeless will come back for an epic two-part series finale. Here's a look at all of the shows that have been canceled so far in 2018.

9 Things We Want From the New Animal Crossing on Switch
Maybe one of the biggest and most surprising announcements from this week's September Nintendo Direct was the highly-anticipated reveal of a new Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch, which followed a sly fake-out involving another exciting Smash reveal.
The announcement didn't let on any details about the new Animal Crossing – except that it's coming in 2019 – so we gathered some of IGN's biggest Animal Crossing fans to dive into what we'd like to see the most.

Why Predator Is the Most Subversive Action Movie of the 1980s
The 1980s were an era of unparalleled cinematic machismo. Movie stars like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger ruled the box office, and filmmakers were eager to exalt their macho personae for fun and profit. Muscles, guns, violence and hero worship were commonplace, Commando and Rambo: First Blood Part II saw to that, and audiences around the world appreciated this genre of cinema unapologetically, unironically, for many, many years.
But there were some filmmakers who saw through the shallow (albeit enjoyable) façade of so-called “bada$$ cinema.” Paul Verhoeven viewed American violence and capitalism through a distinctly European lens, and used films like RoboCop to subvert traditional action movie expectations. John Carpenter made the traditonal, handsome, musclebound American hunk into the comic relief sidekick for Chinese action heroes in Big Trouble in Little China. John McTiernan cast a TV actor best known for comedic roles in Die Hard, and that movie upended every action movie trope in the book, and invented a bunch of new ones that we still use today.
