Civil War 2 Starts with a Pair of Devastating Twists
Marvel Comics promised a big shocker in Civil War II by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist David Marquez, and with today’s premiere issue they made good on their word, and then some.
Warning: this article contains full spoilers for Civil War II #1!
The issue starts with all of Marvel’s assembled heroes (Avengers, Inhumans, X-Men) taking down a Celestial Destructor (an insanely powerful monster from another dimension), and it’s revealed that they were only able to do so with the help of Ulysses, a new Inhuman who has the power to predict the future.

Someone’s Made ‘Tinder for League of Legends Players’
Do you feel compelled to sub-divide humans in new and unintentionally euphemistic categories like "Top" or "Jungle"? Have you ever thought about specifically dating someone who plays a multi-billion dollar-grossing MOBA? Do you just want to find a teammate who won't type exotic swear words at you from across the globe? There is now a salve for all of these chafing needs.
Unite LoL is a new, free and (currently) iOS-only app described by its creators as "Tinder for League". Primarily sorting other registered players by location - ostensibly to help you find players in the same time zone - Unite will also let you search based on Summoner name, rank, preferred role types and more.

Returning cast members include Jesse Metcalfe as reporter Chase Carter,, Keegan Connor Tracy as camera operator and producer Jordan Blair, and Dennis Haysbert as General Lyons.
Take-Two CEO: ‘There Is No Market’ for VR Right Now
Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, has spoken about what he thinks is currently wrong with virtual reality.
Reported by Gamespot, Zelnick spoke at the Cowen and Company Technology Media & Telecom Conference today.
"It's way too expensive right now," said Zelnick of VR technology. "There is no market for a $2000 entertainment device that requires you to dedicate a room to the activity. I don't know what people could be thinking."
"We don't have something where you stand in a big open space and hold two controllers with something on your head— and not crash into the coffee table."
