Daredevil Actor Talks Full Spoilers on Defenders Twists
With Marvel’s street-level, superhero team-up The Defenders now out on Netflix, we’re filled with questions about everything that went down. Daredevil in particular had a meaty role and many of the eight-episode mini-series’ biggest twists were anchored around characters and plot points from his neck of the woods, so we hopped on the phone with actor Charlie Cox to get some explanations regarding the show's biggest twists.

IGN: It was an emotional gut-punch for Matt to see Elektra back among the living after she died in his arms in Season 2 of Daredevil. It was clear that Matt still cared for her, but given that she’s this “Black Sky” and an unhinged weapon of the enemy who then becomes the leader of the Hand, was he really thinking he could still be with her? Or are they just doomed to always fight each other?
What Forces of Destiny Means for Star Wars
I recently has the opportunity to sit down with Jennifer Muro, the writer of the Star Wars: Forces of Destiny web series. We talked about how the show came to be and how it fits in the larger canonical framework of the Star Wars mythos, as well as the importance of having a show devoted to showcasing the many strong female characters from that galaxy far, far away.

Bad Boys 3 Unlikely Now, Claims Martin Lawrence
The long-gestating third Bad Boys film, Bad Boys for Life, might never get made.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bad Boys star Martin Lawrence revealed that, with the project getting constantly delayed, and with Will Smith's busy schedule, there's a strong chance the movie will get canceled entirely.
"I don't think we're going to get one, not the way everything's turning out," said Lawrence. "Will is off doing another movie, and I don't think it's going to happen."
Smith has been cast as the Genie in Disney's upcoming live-action Aladdin remake, making scheduling a challenge. Still, Lawrence has reiterated he's ready and fully up for making the film in the event the project eventually does moves forward.
Why Death of the Outsider is the End of Dishonored as We Know It
“People tend to think the outsider is god, and that the end of god is the end of everything”, says Kristof Carrier, Level Design Director on Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. “But the outsider is more like a god, and there was other gods before him and maybe there will be others after him, we don’t know.”
It’s not the end of the world, in other words. If Arkane wants to continue the Dishonored series it can. “There will always be a void in some way, and the end of the outsider is not the end of the void. It’s ending the existence of the void as it is.”
However, it is the end of this world. As I speak with Carrier and Lead Game Designer Dinga Bakaba at this year’s Gamescom, it becomes clear that Death of the Outsider will definitely shut the door on the era that began when Jessamine Kaldwin was slain by Daud in the original Dishonored.
5 Reasons The Crew 2 Could Be Paradise for Racing Fans
At Gamescom 2017 I got my first hands-on with The Crew 2, the upcoming sequel to Ubisoft’s open world racing game that’s bringing air and sea-based vehicles to its already impressive line-up of autos. The short demo consisted of some free roaming in and around Manhattan Island, as well as a first look at the motocross, drift, and grand prix race modes. While it was only a few select slices from what is clearly a multi-tiered tower of automotive cake, it was enough to get me excited for what developer Ivory Tower has in store. Here are five reasons The Crew 2 is shaping up to be a trip worth taking.
Why feature a vehicle roster that boasts a billionaire's shopping list of cars, motorbikes, boats and aeroplanes, if you have to drive to specific garage locations or thumb through pause menus in order to change vehicle? The Crew 2 allows you to switch between land, sea and air in an instant, with a mechanic that the developers have dubbed the ‘Fast Fav’ system.
Why Rocket League Might Be the Perfect Mainstream Esport
If you've ever seen children play soccer you can easily understand why the sport is known as the World Game. The barrier for entry to play football is nearly non-existent — many of the smallest children don't even kick the ball, instead simply colliding with it as they run around the pitch. It's the first experience with team sports that many people worldwide will have, and it sticks. At some level everyone understands soccer, because reduced to its simplest level soccer is just a series of collisions between legs and a big ball.
Rocket League taps into this elementary concept from its outset, and it's one of the keys to its massive success — even if it actually better resembles Ice Hockey.
World of Tanks Rolls Out Console-Exclusive Solo Campaigns
Back in the winter of 2014, Word of Tanks rolled onto the Xbox 360, inviting console gamers to partake in the series' previously PC-exclusive brand of massively multiplayer competitive armored warfare. The jump to Microsoft's platform proved so popular, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the free-to-play tank battler soon followed.
Still, despite many a tank commander being made from behind a gamepad, console fans—accustomed to having a side of solo play with their PvP—wanted more than World of Tanks' competitive skirmishes could offer.
According to Wargaming Chicago-Baltimore's Creative Director and Executive Producer TJ Wagner, his team began noticing this craving when console players were spending tons of time in the sparse PvE bot-based missions the studio had introduced a year ago. “We saw that people really had an appetite for single-player or co-op content...they were playing through them an insane number of times.”
Game of Thrones: Longclaw Theory Shot Down by Director
Warning: Full spoilers for all of Game of Thrones up through the episode "Beyond the Wall."
A "blink and you'll miss it" moment from this past weekend's episode of Game of Thrones: Season 7's penultimate episode set the Internet aflame with speculation. In fact, it was a blink that set theorists off: it appeared as though the wolf handle on Jon Snow's Valyrian steel sword, Longclaw (of House Mormont), blinked right when he escaped from the freezing cold lake. In an episode full of stunning visual effects, this supposed Easter egg seemed to slip past most viewers.
LEGO Reveals Upcoming Star Wars Set Is Biggest Ever
LEGO has been teasing a mysterious new Star Wars set that will be the company's biggest ever for about a month now, and although it has yet to say exactly what the set is, fans have begun to suspect it may be an updated version of an out-of-print LEGO model.
The trail of clues started on August 1 when LEGO's Twitter account teased a unnamed set it claimed would be 4.86 times bigger than its 1,686 piece London Bus build. Two weeks later, the account revealed the set would be Star Wars themed, and included a short teaser video.
And then today, the account tweeted one more teaser, this time an image of the pieces in the set. The image shows two massive piles of gray and beige blocks, which LEGO again stated are part of the biggest build ever, clocking in at 7,541 pieces.
