Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon Includes Kanto Tease
A new trailer for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon has released as part of the Pokemon World Championships, featuring some new characters and locations. Some fans have noticed what they believe may be a hint that the game could take players back to the Kanto Region from Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow.
About 14 seconds into the new trailer, viewable below, a flashy character named Ryuki introducing himself to the trainer. Looking closely at the room surrounding him and the player in this scene, several factors, like the yellow color scheme and the trash cans scattered around the room, bear a strong resemblance to Lt. Surge's gym from Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow.

GoT Spin-off Will be “Recognizable as a Past Event”
We don't know too much about the four Game of Thrones spin-off series currently in the works at HBO. We know they are confirmed to all be prequels, that no existing characters will be included, and that no potential spin-off will air until after the main series ends with Season 8. One of the spin-offs is being developed by GoT creator George R.R. Martin and Kick-Ass screenwriter Jane Goldman. I chatted on the phone today with Goldman about the series, asking if it will contain any supernatural elements or cover any events or other stories mentioned in the existing books or on the current show. Here's all that she had to say ...

Opinion: Stop Focusing On Player Counts So Much
As soon as LawBreakers released last Tuesday, there were people in comment sections and forums around the internet declaring it a “dead game.” According to them, it was already doomed - a game no one was playing that people rushed to put nostradamus-like expiration dates on.
The problem is that most of these people have likely never played the game, but thanks to sites like SteamCharts and the less reliable SteamSpy commenters everywhere can feel empowered to make wide generalizations about the health of any game based on “hard facts.”

The best GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is the EVGA SC2 with ICX, if you can find it for a reasonable price online. With that out of the way, here's a breakdown of the current situation with this now-legendary GPU.
Little did we know in March of 2017 when the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti launched we'd be here at the end of 2018, trying to find one in stock for MSRP. First the mining craze drove prices through the roof, then the RTX launch wasn't what a lot of people expected, so Nvidia's last-gen flagship is still in high demand. Also not helping; reports that there is dwindling supply and production has ceased to make way for the RTX family of GPUs. The bottom line is, if you want a GTX 1080 Ti you better get one soon. Otherwise, you'll be left with the used GPU market as your only source, and given the mining craze has died down there's a high probability that any card you find could have been used for it, which makes a lot of buyers nervous since they've likely been running for months (or longer) around the clock.
