Friday the 13th Dev Teases New Playable Jason
Friday the 13th: The Game is getting plenty of new content.
Gun Media and IllFonic announced they're currently working on a new playable Jason, with more information coming soon. Several free new maps are also in the works. One in particular, which has a setting "ripped straight from the films," is launching soon.
Smaller versions of the Higgins, Packanack and Crystal Lake Map maps are also on the way, allowing you and your friends to jump into a match and enjoy fast-paced action without needing to have 8 players. The maps will have different spawn locations, and the parts, cars, camps and cabins have all been moved.
GoT Spin-off Will be “Recognizable as a Past Event”
We don't know too much about the four Game of Thrones spin-off series currently in the works at HBO. We know they are confirmed to all be prequels, that no existing characters will be included, and that no potential spin-off will air until after the main series ends with Season 8. One of the spin-offs is being developed by GoT creator George R.R. Martin and Kick-Ass screenwriter Jane Goldman. I chatted on the phone today with Goldman about the series, asking if it will contain any supernatural elements or cover any events or other stories mentioned in the existing books or on the current show. Here's all that she had to say ...

Opinion: Stop Focusing On Player Counts So Much
As soon as LawBreakers released last Tuesday, there were people in comment sections and forums around the internet declaring it a “dead game.” According to them, it was already doomed - a game no one was playing that people rushed to put nostradamus-like expiration dates on.
The problem is that most of these people have likely never played the game, but thanks to sites like SteamCharts and the less reliable SteamSpy commenters everywhere can feel empowered to make wide generalizations about the health of any game based on “hard facts.”

Updated: November 2018
The best GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is the EVGA SC2 with ICX, if you can find it for a reasonable price online. With that out of the way, here's a breakdown of the current situation with this now-legendary GPU.
Little did we know in March of 2017 when the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti launched we'd be here at the end of 2018, trying to find one in stock for MSRP. First the mining craze drove prices through the roof, then the RTX launch wasn't what a lot of people expected, so Nvidia's last-gen flagship is still in high demand. Also not helping; reports that there is dwindling supply and production has ceased to make way for the RTX family of GPUs. The bottom line is, if you want a GTX 1080 Ti you better get one soon. Otherwise, you'll be left with the used GPU market as your only source, and given the mining craze has died down there's a high probability that any card you find could have been used for it, which makes a lot of buyers nervous since they've likely been running for months (or longer) around the clock.
Game of Thrones: You Can Now Learn High Valyrian
You can now learn one of Game of Thrones' ancient languages, High Valyrian, thanks to Duolingo.
Quartz reports the company teamed up with the show's linguist David J. Peterson to create a free online course that teaches Daenerys Targaryen's mother tongue. You can try it out on Duolingo's website now, and it will soon be available on iOS and Android devices.
The course is free, with an option to pay for a subscription to remove ads. You'll learn everything from how to simply say father, which is "kepa" in High Valyrian, to more complex phrases like "Daenerys praises the dragon," which translates to "Daenerys zaldrīzī rijas."
Star Wars Armada Buying Guide
Star Wars Armada is a sprawling game that replicates the feel of the franchise’s large-scale space battles. Commanding enormous flagships and smaller squadrons of fighters on the tabletop provides a surprisingly authentic experience that will appeal to fans of both Star Wars and tactical board games. Collectors, too, will find a lot to love about Armada thanks to the beautifully detailed miniature ships that look just as good on a display shelf as they do on the table.
There’s one big catch, though--this being a Fantasy Flight Games product, there’s a seemingly-endless sea of expansions (more than two dozen, by our count) that have been released in the years since Armada’s debut. Some of them are relatively inexpensive and add a small ship or two to your collection, while others are prohibitively expensive (looking at you, Super Star Destroyer). With this guide, we’ve assembled a list of some of the more essential expansions you should seek out if you just picked up a core set and are looking to jump start your collection.
