Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 6 Leaked By HBO
Beware your timelines, friends, another Game of Thrones episode has leaked - and weirdly, this time, it appears to be HBO's fault.
As reported by Mashable, HBO Spain appeared to make next Sunday's as-yet-untitled episode 6 available to stream for around an hour, during which time it has been ripped and re-released.
Users on Reddit (spoiler warning) have been posting images and clips, and fansite Watchers on the Wall subsequently confirmed that the leak is real.
Daniel Craig Confirms He’ll Return to Bond Role
Update: Daniel Craig officially confirmed he will return as 007 in James Bond 25 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
When asked if he would return to the role, Craig responded 'yes' straight away.
"I always wanted to, I wanted a break," said Craig of stepping back into Bond's shoes.
Original story is below.
Despite reports claiming that Daniel Craig will indeed return to play 007 in James Bond 25, the man himself said he is unsure whether or not he will play Bond once again.
"No decision has been made at the moment, there's a lot of noise out there and nothing official has been confirmed and I'm not, like, holding out for more money or doing anything like that," Craig, who has portrayed Bond in four films so far starting with Casino Royale, explained on Boston radio show Morning Magic 106.7 (via Birth.Movies.Death.).
Wolfenstein 2 & Kicking Nazi Ass in Pop Culture
During a Wolfenstein 2 panel at E3 this year, I asked Bethesda’s VP of PR and Marketing at Bethesda Softworks Pete Hines why people loved shooting things in the Wolfenstein series so much. I was immediately corrected by Hines, with notable urgency, that people don’t just love shooting ‘things’ in Wolfenstein, they love shooting Nazis.
It was a common sentiment sprouting from Bethesda and Wolfenstein developer MachineGames throughout their E3 showing, and it’s reflected in the first several hours of the game itself. In Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus you slice, chop, mangle, and dessicate Nazis in bold, brilliant relief. As American super spy B.J. Blazkowicz, you’re not surviving the Nazi regime, you’re absolutely brutalising it.
