Square Enix Officially Announces Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Square Enix has official revealed Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
The game will take place in 2029, that’s two years after the events of Human Revolution, and the Aug Incident that took place in Panchaea. Following the death of millions, a colossal rift has emerged between people with augmentations and those without, and in keeping with the political theme, there are other parties who plan to use the turmoil to further their own agenda.
“For 15 years, Deus Ex has been a point of conversation across the games industry and beyond,” says David Anfossi, Head of Studio, Eidos-Montréal, “whether the topic is the franchise’s unique gameplay or topical narrative focused on advanced biotechnology and human augmentation. What began with Deus Ex: Human Revolution goes to a whole new level in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, diving even deeper into this discussion and, in turn, offering fans an all-encompassing experience, one which will challenge their skills as players and emphasize decision-making based on real world topics.”
7 Reasons Twin Peaks Rules
"She's dead...
...Wrapped in plastic."
It's been 27 years since Pete Martell nervously spoke those words into his phone to Sherriff Harry S. Truman. And America was hooked. It all started with a serene opening credit sequence accompanied by an enchantingly tranquil score from Angelo Badalamenti. The pilot for David Lynch and Mark Frost's Twin Peaks scored a freakin' 22 rating. It was truly a phenomenon. One third of all TV viewers that night watched the tragic unveiling, and unwrapping, of a beautiful, blue-ish corpse belonging to seemingly squeaky-clean small town Homecoming Queen, Laura Palmer. And now, amazingly, Twin Peaks is returning with new episodes May 21st on Showtime.
Hands-On With GTA 5 on PC at 4K
Back in the late ’90s I remember being incredibly jealous of a good friend of mine who had the original Grand Theft Auto on PC, primarily for one very specific (and slightly absurd) reason.
The PC version featured working trains and the PlayStation version didn’t.
That was it, really. But I wanted to ride that train, and I couldn’t in the PlayStation version. The PlayStation port of the original Grand Theft Auto was a brilliant game way back in 1997, but it wasn’t as brilliant as its big brother on PC. As usual, the latter could do just that little bit more. Push that little bit further. It was something my jerk mate pointed out with clockwork regularity.
Waltz Denies He’s Playing Blofeld in SPECTRE
Might Christoph Waltz be toying with us? Like a super-villain’s cat, toying with a mouse? When the cast for new Bond film SPECTRE was announced, he was listed as playing Franz Oberhauser, but there's a school of thought that the character is really Bond’s arch-nemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
That belief now seems to be considered fact, but in an interview with GQ magazine, the two-time Oscar-winner stated that it very much isn't the case.
“That is absolutely untrue” he told the magazine. “That rumour started on the Internet, and the Internet is a pest. The name of my character is Franz Oberhauser.”

How Drogon Was Created for Game of Thrones: Season 5
To ensure they could capture the full essence of the Khaleesi's dragon Drogon, visual effects producers had to resort to some extreme measures in Game of Thrones' fifth season.
Visual effects supervisor Joe Bauer explained to TV Insider how they were going about creating a new, larger dragon.
"Drogon is twice the size he was last year. He's about 40 feet long and 20 percent bigger than the other two dragons," Bauer said. "He's also the alpha, so his way goes. He's still affectionate with Dany, but he's got his own mind and needs her less, just like any child growing up."
Game of Thrones Actor Plays Key Villain in Deadpool
Game of Thrones actor Ed Skrein is set for a villainous turn as Ajax in Deadpool.
Skrein, who played Daario Naharis (before bowing out for The Transporter Refueled reboot) in season three of Game of Thrones, has revealed on Twitter that he'll be playing the heavy-duty (and we mean heavy) villain.
In the comics, Ajax and others were directly responsible for Wade Wilson's conversion to Deadpool in the Weapon X program. Ajax was part of the same program, receiving boosted speed and strength alongside the inability to feel pain.
Assumedly, he'll be throwing down with titular Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) in potential bloody fisticuffs, given the recent revelation that the film will be rated R.
