Transformers Cinematic Universe: Every Upcoming Movie
With Transformers: The Last Knight about to hit theaters on June 21st, and a giant writers' room/think tank currently plotting out the next ambitious steps for this franchise, we thought we'd check in with the current state of the Transformers-verse and see how it might start branching out into a shared universe with the G.I.Joe films and possibly some other Hasbro toy lines.
With Hasbro having put together a bible of all the mythologies and the Transformers and G.I. Joe movies having also created their own specific tapestry, it's now up to a team of writers, led by Akiva Goldsman (The Dark Tower, I Am Legend, I, Robot), to build all three things into one very large world.

Xbox Project Scorpio Teasers Contain Hidden Messages
Microsoft has been spending its run-up to E3 by posting tiny teasers for its soon-to-be revealed Xbox One upgrade, Project Scorpio - and a few of them appear to contain hidden messages.
As spotted by Twitter user XboxInGame (reported by WindowsCentral), two teasers include sets of numbers, letters and symbols. One video includes the phrase "X10S101-317" (or perhaps "X105101-317") (see below) - WindowsCentral's theory is that "X10S"/"X105" may refer to the console model itself, while "101317" could signal a release date - Friday, October 13. There's no other indication that that's necessarily true, but it's compelling.

Here are the top 10 gadgets that help him fight crime as Spider-Man.
Starting off, Spider-Man’s utility belt holds many of his gadgets, but it also has the awesome yet rarely utilized ability to shine the Spider-signal. While it doesn’t strike as much fear into the hearts of criminals as that other guy’s signal, he does use it to light the way in dark places, and a recent upgrade gave it a UV setting for when Spidey investigates crime scenes.
