How to Stream Xbox One Games to a Windows 10 PC
There are a few reasons why you might want to stream a game from your Xbox One to your Windows 10 PC: someone's already hogging the TV, you don't feel like putting down your laptop and getting out of bed, or you really want to be able to play Xbox One games with a 360 controller.
Whether you're eager to get started or you're curious to see if it works as advertised, this feature is easy to setup—we've outlined the steps you need to take below. This should work regardless if you're on a desktop, laptop, or tablet PC; so long as you're running Windows 10 (and not Windows 10 Mobile), you're good to go.
Step 1: Load the Xbox App
Obviously, if you haven't yet signed into your account, you'll need to do so now. You'll also need to be logged into your account on your console.
Tom Cruise Says M:I-6 Shoots Next Year
The fuse has been lit on another Mission: Impossible movie, according to star Tom Cruise.
During his appearance on the The Daily Show, the Mission: Impossible actor-producer claimed the six entry in the franchise could shoot as soon as this time next year.
"We're starting to work on it now. We'll probably start shooting it next summer," said Cruise.
If Cruise is correct, this would suggest Paramount Pictures has already green-lit a sequel before the success of Rogue Nation has been proven at the box office.
It would also be a departure from the lengthy gaps between sequels that has been common with every Mission: Impossible movie from M:I-2 onwards.

Trevor Noah Talks Daily Show Changes
New Daily Show host Trevor Noah took the stage at the Television Critics Association Press Tour for a Q&A panel regarding the upcoming sea change to the Comedy Central late night series.
"The way you approach a story, the way you look at a story depends on your points of view," the comedian stated. "The way you look at comedy depends on your points of view. So Jon
is a white 52-year-old Jewish guy that grew up in Jersey. I am a 31 year old half-black, half-white South African who has lived in America for a few years on and off. So the way we would look at the same story would be completely different," Noah said of his Daily Show hosting duties, which kick off on September 28th.
Arrow’s Amell Says No to Oliver’s Comic Book Goatee
Arrow star Stephen Amell has set the record straight about him every having a goatee on the TV series. It's not going to happen.
On Twitter, Amell responded in a humorously direct manner to a rumor that his Oliver Queen character would sport a comic book-inspired goatee on the upcoming fourth season of Arrow. "100 percent no," he wrote. "Never."
100% no. Never. Our show could go 14 seasons and a goatee will never appear. Hope that clears things up. Forever. https://t.co/pudAfBIhsD

Windows 10’s Xbox App Is Pretty Damn Good
In the lead up to Windows 10’s launch, Microsoft has spoken often about gaming on its new operating system. For Xbox gamers, that translates to integration with Xbox One (and indirectly, Xbox 360), so that the platforms aren't so walled off from each other. The Xbox App is one such element of that integration—and it's quite good, even for something that isn't yet 100% polished.
When you first log in, you’ll land on the Home screen, which shows multiple elements split between three columns: recent games you’ve played, a shortcut to begin game streaming, games that Microsoft has featured, a recent activity feed collating everything you and your friends have done, a user search field, and your friends list.

Did Deadpool Create This Iconic Spider-Man Villain?
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #3!
Deadpool may be to blame for creating one of Spider-Man's most infamous and popular villains, at least if the events of the comic book series Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars are to be believed. Today's issue #3 revealed that Merc With a Mouth had a hand in the birth of Venom.
Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars bucks the trend of most of Marvel's current comics by tying into the original 1984 Secret Wars rather than the current crossover. The book has been following the previously unknown role Wade Wilson played in that epic conflict, which has mainly involved annoying the heck out of the X-Men and Avengers. But in today's issue, Deadpool stumbled across the machine that Spider-Man used in Secret Wars #8 to summon his black costume for the first time. As many Spidey fans know, it was eventually revealed that the black costume was an alien symbiote that tried to permanently bond with Peter Parker before finding a more willing host in Eddie Brock.
