While some of the cards in the Core Set are returning favorites from previous releases, it’s the brand-new and heavily modified cards that are catching everybody’s attention at the moment. These cards won’t just help form the foundation of Hearthstone‘s competitive meta in the coming years: they’ll offer entirely new strategies that could prove to be viable regardless of what other cards come and go through expansion rotations. There’s no shortage of noteworthy new Core Set cards, but here are some of the ones you’re definitely going to want to try for yourself....

In the sequel, Aloy ventures into the “Forbidden West,” what used to be the states west of Utah. Key elements in the trailer include are modern ruins overtaken by nature, low-tech human settlements, and futuristic animal robots. The lush greenery of Aloy’s world is also heavily on display here. The environmentalist story threaded remarkably well through the first game’s world-building comes to the fore again with a mysterious threat targeting animal life....

At the official Game of Thrones fan convention hosted in LA this weekend, House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal showed a deleted scene from the season 1 finale that showed a brief, but emotional conversation between Princess Rhaenys Targaryen (Eve Best) and her granddaughter Lady Baela Targaryen (Bethany Antonia). This scene, which you can watch below, showcases an important element that this season of House of the Dragon is missing: more one-on-one moments between its female characters....

The Targaryens are a family comprised of secrets within secrets, and mysteries within mysteries. Despite building the greatest dynasty Westeros ever knew, and ruling from on high atop dragons for centuries, the practices and rituals of Daenerys Targaryen’s ancestors remain elusive. When she was introduced along with her brother in Game of Thrones, neither character was old enough to have been trained in the customs of their House before the dynasty fell....

It’s no surprise that the sequel to Avatar is going to have mind-blowing visuals, but when the script for Avatar: The Way of Water was complete, even the movie’s producer had doubts about their ability to film it. “When we first started developing the script, we really tried to do it without thinking about the ‘how,’ right?” says Jon Landau, the producer of Avatar and its sequels, in an interview with Den of Geek magazine....

“I thought: ‘they want to make monsters for Black Mirror? I don’t get it,’” Walker says. Through two seasons and six episodes on Channel 4, the monsters of Black Mirror were largely metaphorical and unseen, signals and dispatches from mobile devices in a dubiously fictional world. Then the show was picked up by Netflix, which quickly commissioned a six-episode third season. Among those six episodes was “Playtest,” an hour starring Wyatt Russell (Lodge 49), Wunmi Mosaku (Lovecraft Country), and Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp)....

If you are looking to do more with your business, you need to understand client preferences and needs. While everything matters from the business analytical tools you use to your marketing strategies, did you know that a screen recorder can help too?

It may not have garnered the accolades of his soundtracks for The Mission or Cinema Paradiso, but the Italian’s heart-stopping synth-led score remains iconic, not least for the fact it was unlike anything he had produced before or since. Up until then, Carpenter had scored the music for all of his films, earning plaudits for his pioneering use of synthesizers – something he insisted was born out of practicality as it allowed his soundtracks to “sound big with just a keyboard”....

Spy Racers, the animated spin-off to Fast & Furious, is no exception to this. The show has often delved into its own over-the-top action and in the show’s third season, available now on Netflix, the show takes this action to another level. In in the fourth episode, ‘The Hunt’ the entire story is just one long action filled car chase. Not only that, it’s an action scene that’s a clear Mad Max send up....

Though Wingard is known for R-rated horror films like You’re Next, The Guest, and Blair Witch, in a recent interview with a group of journalists, he calls Godzilla vs. Kong “the most Adam Wingard movie I [could] make.” Noting that even his horror movies have an “action movie kind of feel to them,” he adds he loves sequels such as Terminator 2 and Aliens, which both upped the action quotient while feeling apiece with what came before....

But in truth, this movie could almost function as a sequel to the original Hellraiser flicks—or at least the handful of early good ones before the series devolved into straight-to-VHS and DVD self-parody. The 2022 picture is a new story with all new characters that narratively does not revisit, even in passing, the psychosexual melodrama that everyone forgets underpins Barker’s original 1987 movie, as well as the Barker-penned novella it was based on, The Hellbound Heart....

Heisserer, who’s serving as showrunner for franchise-aspiring Netflix television adaptation Shadow and Bone, had just broken big with his Oscar-nominated screenplay for 2016 sci-fi drama Arrival and horror film Lights Out when he was tapped to co-write (with Jon Spaihts) a Dark Universe reboot movie for vampire hunter Van Helsing, which Channing Tatum was expected to headline. The gig put him in a dream team writer’s room convened by Universal to plan out a roadmap for the monster movies, which were to follow The Mummy with similar shared-universe renditions of the studio’s classic black-and-white adaptations like The Invisible Man (later revived in a scaled down Blumhouse-produced effort), Bride of Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Wolfman, Dr....

Straight male affection in media has been handled with, charitably, mixed results. For every deeply moving film or TV show about the bonds between straight men and how much they care about each other, there are 20 others that conflate male intimacy with weakness or downright evil. Talking about manly feelings is one thing but physical affection? There’s still a strong stigma that straight men (and boys for the matter) who show too much physical affection are somehow out of the ordinary, immoral, or automatically seen as gay....

When you think of games that benefit from NVIDIA’s top of the range GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs, there are plenty of AAA titles that immediately spring to mind: Control, Cyberpunk 2077, Watch Dogs: Legion, and other next-gen releases. But what about a game with as long a legacy as Minecraft? A Unique Challenge To understand why ray tracing in Minecraft is such a big deal, we need to take a step back and examine how it’s used in other games....

But many of these series have been out for decades. What happens when their stories and continuities get too unruly? Especially when it comes to fighting games, the stories and retcons to those stories become so convoluted that developers decide to just go back to square one. Yet, even those timeline reboots aren’t so simple. As fighting games head onto a new generation of platforms, here are some ways in which the biggest franchises have hit restart on their continuities over the years:...

Thandiwe Newton, star of HBO’s Westworld, clearly had high hopes when she joined the Solo: A Star Wars Story cast. After all, it’s a freaking Star Wars movie, and her role as smuggler Val seemed integral to the film’s gang of anti-hero ne’er-do-wells, making her the first significant role for a Black woman in the franchise’s 40+ years. Yet, while Val—as the wife and crewmate of the shady Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson)—was there for the fateful recruitment of wet-behind-the-ears Imperial deserter Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) and indebted Wookie companion Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), she didn’t even make it to the film’s midpoint, and was martyred in explosive fashion during a heist....

Among Hasbro’s reveals for its heralded PulseCon 2021 toy event was a Star Wars The Black Series 6” scale action figure for The Mandalorian‘s New Republic pilot, Trapper Wolf. To the layperson, the figure would appear to be just a generic representation of a body-mold-recycled Rebel pilot, which begs the question as to why it’s getting the deluxe treatment, sold for $29.99, which is well above the line’s current standard SKU price of $22....
