Fuller House Teaser and Debut Date Revealed
Fuller House, the follow-up to the '90s sitcom Full House, will be coming to Netflix February 26.
Netflix released a teaser for the program today, showing the familiar house and famous San Francisco neighborhood in which Danny Tanner, his best friend, and his brother-in-law did their best to raise 3 precocious girls in the wake of the tragic death of Danny's wife in a horrific car accident.
The modern version of the show takes the old premise and weaves it into the fiction and theme of the 1990's program. Whereas before, three father figures worked together to provide a future for three motherless girls, the modern Fuller House sees oldest daughter DJ, now a mature woman, call for similar help.

Razer’s Leviathan Mini Bluetooth Speaker Offers Great Sound in a Small Package
Razer, most known for its gaming peripherals, now has a portable Bluetooth speaker called the Leviathan Mini. This $179 speaker features two drivers, a 10-hour battery life, and the ability to pair with another Leviathan Mini to create a true stereo setup.
Physically, the Leviathan Mini looks like any other Bluetooth speaker, with volume controls and a contextual menu button up top. Around the side, there are buttons for power, Bluetooth pairing, an aux jack, and a microUSB port for charging. Additionally, the Leviathan Mini features NFC to easily pair Android smartphones without the need to enter a PIN code. This is great if you want to switch devices quickly, though it’d be even nicer if the speaker could switch between multiple devices. The Leviathan Mini also features a microphone for conference calls or video chats.
Final Fantasy 6 Advance Coming to Wii U VC in Japan
Final Fantasy VI Advance will release on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan next week.

There's currently no word on when or if the game will be making its way to North America or Europe, but the fact that it's coming to Japan certainly instills hope that there's a possibility.

The new items coming via a software update on December 22 are a rubber ring which bounces the player away, an invisible warp door that requires a ‘P’ block to be made visible, and for those of you wanting to make an R-Type-style level; a Koopa clown car which shoots fireballs (!!!).
Also coming the same day, players will be able to see who holds the world record for each course, and the new web-based Mario Maker portal launches, which will let players search and bookmark courses online.
PayPal Lists Steam Winter Sale Start Date
It looks as though the annual Steam Winter Sale will begin on December 22.
This news is according to a promotional holiday offer page on Paypal's website, where you're invited to buy a Steam Digital Wallet Code before the sale starts on December 22.
Valve hasn't had a great year of keeping its sale dates secret, and PayPal also leaked Steam's Autumn Sale dates last year.
The December 22 date isn't confirmed yet, but it seems like a good bet. IGN will update you when we know more.
Comic Book Reviews for December 16, 2015
Assuming you're not too busy waiting in line for Star Wars, this week's comic lineup was pretty impressive. DC launched a new Lucifer comic, wrapped up the long-running Batman '66 and capped off the second act of Justice League's "Darkseid War" storyline. Marvel launched several more new series, including Squadron Supreme, Weirdworld and Starbrand and Nightmask and delivered a Darth Vader annual issue. And with the debut of IDW's ongoing Judge Dredd series and new chapters of series like Lumberjanes, Invincible and Wrath of the Eternal Warrior, it was a great week for indie comics as well.
Scroll down to check out our reviews for these and other new comics, and let us know your favorite books of the week in the comments below.
GTA: Liberty City Stories on iPhone Adds 3D Touch, 60 FPS
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories is now available for iOS devices, with significant enhancements over previous versions of the game.
Some of the new features include native support for Retina displays, enhanced textures and art, 60 fps on certain devices, and custom soundtrack support. Players with the iPhone 6S or 6S Plus can also take advantage of 3D Touch options in the game for things like steering, targeting, "drive-by mode," and more.
The custom soundtrack feature can be accessed by creating a playlist on your iOS device titled "GTALCS" and selecting the "Mix Tape" radio station from within the game.
Controls for Liberty City Stories have been rebalanced for touch screens, but the game also includes support for physical controllers. That should make for a pretty good experience on the enormity of the iPad Pro's 12.9-inch screen.
