April Humble Bundle Spotlight
If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
It's a new month, and you know what that means: a whole new Humble Monthly Bundle line-up. If you're not familiar with how it works, it's pretty simple: you get a bunch of great games for one super-low price, and the money works to help support charities. So it's the rare case where everyone wins.
When you subscribe to the Humble Monthly Bundle, you get that month's first round of early unlock games right away at the beginning of each month, and the rest of the games are revealed at the end of the month. Then a new month arrives and the whole process starts all over again. Not bad for $12. Oh, and you can cancel whenever you want, so if you just want to get Dead Rising 4 or Kerbal Space Program for $12 and aren't interested in what next month has to offer, that's all you baby.
11 TV Time Jumps to Remember
The concept of time can be a tricky thing to manipulate in the world of television. Writers can effectively use it to skip over mundane storylines not worth paying attention to, or use it as an easy way out after writing themselves into an impossible corner.
Most of the time, this technique can be a fun way to look at characters in a different light by creating new and interesting stories for the writers to delve into. Series like Lost and Breaking Bad have implemented the time jump method with great success because their characters actually went through a compelling transformation.
With Fear the Walking Dead Season 4 expected to make its own leap forward in time, we thought it would be fun to look at 11 other memorable time jumps from some of our favorite series. Scroll through the slideshow below to see which shows made our list.
Why Westworld Is the Jurassic Park Sequel We Deserve
Even in this Game of Thrones-dominated time we live in, Westworld is easily one of HBO's biggest draws. Season 1 became the most-watched first season in the channel's history. And why not? It shares a lot in common with the uber-popular Jurassic Park franchise. The true root of Westworld's appeal is less the Lost-style mythology and mind-bending plot twists than the fact that it's a better Jurassic Park sequel than the actual sequels.
Avengers ‘Road to Infinity War’ Art Features Ant-Man and the Wasp
New artwork for Avengers: Infinity War has been released, and it features many of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Marvel Studios head of visual development Ryan Meinerding created the art, dubbed "The Road to Infinity War—10 Years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe," for the D23 Summer Movie Spectacular magazine issue in celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the MCU.
The image features the Marvel superheroes in some of their older looks, including Black Widow with long red hair and Captain America in his World War II costume. Check out the art, courtesy of Meinerding's Instagram, below.
The One Avengers: Infinity War Poster With Hawkeye (That Everyone Forgot About)
It seems like the whole Internet has noticed that Hawkeye has been noticeably absent from Avengers: Infinity War's marketing material, but that wasn't always the case. Back in 2017, at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel was handing out Avengers: Infinity War posters to eager fans that featured a bearded Captain America, Thanos with his gauntlet, and one of the team's most elusive heroes.
That's right, the heroic archer Hawkeye, aka Clint Barton, is tucked away in the upper right-hand corner of the poster (see below) right next to Bucky Barnes. As of late, Hawkeye has been missing in all of the trailers, the 22 new character posters, and virtually every piece of the movie's marketing material except for this single poster. At least he's getting his moment somewhere.
PUBG’s War Mode Will Be Made Into a Limited-Time Event
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' War Mode, currently limited to custom games and custom servers, will be made into one of the game's new limited-time event modes at some point in the future.
Limited-time event mode was announced last month and PUBG's community coordinator Dan "RoboDanjal" announced that while war mode is in the "very early stages of development" on custom servers, they're looking to bring it to live servers as an event mode, but that it will "see changes between now and then".
