Sea of Thieves’ Kraken Versus Megalodon Is a Pirate Nightmare
A Sea of Thieves player captured a once in a lifetime moment straight of a pirate nightmare.
Reddit user ClawofChaos was sailing with his crew when the unthinkable happened… his crew was attacked by the Megalodon AND the Kraken at the same time. While it’s not unusual to find yourself wrapped up in the slimy embrace of the Kraken, or hunted by the angry mega shark on the Sea of Thieves, the coordinated sea-monster Blitzkrieg is incredibly rare.
But it gets weirder. Turns out the two monsters don’t have much love for one another either. In the above clip, there’s an insane moment where the Megalodon moves in to ram the ship just as the Kraken slams its tentacle over the deck and… effectively punches the shark in the face.

Better Call Saul Will Include Scenes Set During Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul's upcoming new season will include scenes set during Breaking Bad.
Per EW, co-creator Vince Gilligan revealed Season 4 of the spinoff will feature a subplot which will bring Better Call Saul more closely to Walter White.
“We have a subplot that very squarely gets into Breaking Bad territory and brings us into the world — or at least points us on a path toward the world of Walter White and the territory of Walter White,” Gilligan said. “I can’t wait for folks to see that.”
However, Gilligan did not offer any further details about how these scenes might tie into Breaking Bad. Gilligan has said before he desperately wants to bring Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) into Better Call Saul somehow.

Marvel is releasing six brand-new What If comic books in October 2018, each focusing on different characters and realities.
The books will feature Spider-Man, Magik, Ghost Rider, Thor, the X-Men, and the Punisher, with few details being revealed on what will happen in each What If story.
Some things we do know is that Peter Parker becomes the Punisher and has to battle against villains like the Green Goblin, Asgard becomes covered in ice leaving Thor to attack while being out of his element, and Spider-Man gets his humble attitude taken away as the Flash takes him over and throws his egotistical nature into the character.
