The Leftovers: Season 3 Teaser Trailer and Poster Debut
HBO has released the first teaser trailer and poster for the upcoming third and final season of The Leftovers.
The footage gives a quick look at some of the returning characters, like Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux) and Nora Durst (Carrie Coon), along with a peak at the show's new setting, Australia.
This third season sees the Garvey family make there way to Australia "as they desperately grasp for a system of belief to help better explain that which defies explanation."

Everything Leaving Netflix in February
Since the Netflix hub doesn't list everything in the company's streaming catalogue, sometimes the best way to know what's there is to find out what's leaving. Of course, then it becomes a race against time itself to try and check out the expiring movies and shows, but it is what it is.
Signing off from Netflix in February are movies like Clueless, Black Hawk Down, Mission Impossible III, Clerks, Friday, Star Trek: Nemesis, Trainspotting (which you should definitely catch before the long-awaited sequel arrives!), and more.
By the way, Clueless currently has a three and a half star rating on Netflix while Kevin James' True Memoirs of an International Assassin and Adam Sandler's The Do-Over currently both are at four stars. Make of that what you will!

Project Scorpio Info Leak Re-Confirms 6 Teraflop GPU
A look at official information from Microsoft about the upcoming Project Scorpio has been analyzed and gives more clues as to the power of the iterative update to the Xbox One.
Digital Foundry, who made a video sourcing information from a public-facing Microsoft report, says the whitepaper confirms Scorpio is getting a different RAM architecture than Xbox One, four times the L2 cache, and gives more evidence of a six teraflop GPU.
That means the GPU in Scorpio has around 4.5 times the compute power of the current Xbox One.
Digital Foundry's analysis also casts doubt the CPU will have AMD's new Zen architecture, and will instead use chips based on the Jaguar family, as is the current case with Xbox One, PS4, and PS4 Pro.

The map is "an uphill battle towards the massive fortresses of Verdun. A constant grinding struggle where the artillery never stops," according to a post on the game's website. Next up is Fort Vaux where players will fight "in the maze of dark galleries and wet stone corridors" inside a fort.

Nintendo Says Pikmin 3DS Is Still Coming in 2017
Nintendo has reiterated that the previously announced new Pikmin game for 3DS will still be released sometime in 2017.
The game was first revealed last year at a Nintendo Direct but there have been no further updates about the title until today. However, besides the 2017 release being reconfirmed, the 3DS game still does not have a specific title or release date.
This latest Pikmin entry will let players assume the role of Captain Olimar in a side-scrolling adventure with a focus on action. It won't contain open exploration like in the previous games in the series, but will instead have players tap the 3DS screen to aim where they want to throw Pikmin. The original three Pikmin types -- blue, yellow, and red -- will also all be a part of Olimar's new adventure.
