Warning: full spoilers below!
Five of the six Infinity Stones are currently accounted for in the MCU, but the whereabouts of the Soul Stone remain a mystery. While the lead-in comic does not give us much to go on, Wong does reveal a key piece of intel, saying, “Little is known about the sixth and final Stone, the Soul Stone. But if what is known turns out to be true, it could prove to be the biggest threat of them all.”

Tarantino has described the movie as “a story that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood" (via THR). "The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor...Sharon Tate.”

According to Deadline, the Saturday Night Live and Bridesmaids star is reportedly in talks with DC and Warner Bros. to play Wonder Woman's feline foe in the upcoming sequel.
While specifics about Wiig's potential role as the DC super villain have yet to be revealed, in the comics, the Barbara Ann Minerva incarnation of Cheetah is an archeologist who's captured and granted the abilities of a cheetah by the plant-god Urzkartaga.
Fantasy settings are a wonderful fit for board games. There's something about orcs, elves, and magic spells that translates perfectly to cards and cardboard. And of course it doesn't hurt that the venn diagram of people drawn to wizards and people drawn to board games is basically a circle. As you might expect, board game designers have caught on, and there are so many good fantasy-themed board games out there as a result. There are plenty of sword and sorcery adventures. But in the world of board games, fantasy can mean anything from imaginative intrigue to alchemical academia.
So, grab a sword and a spellbook and head into the unknown as we explore what "fantasy" meant to a slew of different designers — and the best board games that came out of it.
As the major announcements from the MWC are getting discussed, Evan Blass tweets a photo of the alleged Huawei P20 Lite, even though it isn't even set to be announced for another month. For a while, Huawei's P20 was rumored to have three rear cameras, but when Blass tweeted the supposed picture of the P20 with a notch in the display and dual rear cameras, we can pretty much hold our breaths until we see a P20 Pro model, one that many hope will have three main cameras. Triple cameras aside, Blass has an amazing track record when it comes to smartphone leaks. Huawei P20 (with two, not...

Astronomers have searched for signs of the earliest stars and found the first light ever to shine in the universe.
The Telegraph reports astronomers used a normal radio antenna placed in the remote Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory located in Western Australia to pick up the signal.
The frequency was especially difficult to find as it's within the same range as many radio stations and those naturally emitted from the Milky Way. National Science Foundation program director, Dr Peter Kurcynski described the task as "It's like being in the middle of a hurricane and trying to hear the flap of a hummingbird’s wing.”
The series premiere for Paramount Network's TV adaptation of Heathers has been delayed following the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
The show was originally supposed to premiere on March 7. No new release date has been set yet. Paramount Network has provided the following statement addressing the delay:
"Paramount Network’s original series Heathers is a satirical comedy that takes creative risks in dealing with many of society’s most challenging subjects ranging from personal identity to race and socio-economic status to gun violence. While we stand firmly behind the show, in light of the recent tragic events in Florida and out of respect for the victims, their families and loved ones, we feel the right thing to do is delay the premiere until later this year."
Nokia is playing the nostalgia card again this year, following up on the reinvented iconic 3310 feature phone from 2017. This time around it's the banana phone redux - meet the Nokia 8110 4G, arriving on the scene 22 years after the original. The device famously used by Neo in the Matrix movie is reimagined for the modern world, with 4G LTE capabilities, alongside Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even GPS. It's still unashamedly not a smartphone, as you'd expect from a handset sporting a 2.4-inch 240x320 display that isn't touch-sensitive. Still, you get 512MB of RAM and the Snapdragon 205...

While a new season of Twin Peaks may be up in the air, fans of David Lynch now have an online parody game to get their fix of the director.
Rhino Stew Productions released a new, free game that allows people to learn homerow "with America's favorite avant garde director," according to the game's trailer (seen below). However, to be clear, David Lynch Teaches Typing is not affiliated with the Blue Velvet director.
Throughout the game, a caricature of David Lynch — complete with his imitable voice and catchphrases — guides players through simple typing exercises, such as resting your left index finger on the F key and your right index finger on the J key.
LG has revamped its smartphone strategy this year, vowing not to release new devices just to respond to competitors. Thus, the much anticipated G7 has apparently been canceled or rebuilt from scratch, according to past rumors. That, however, hasn't stopped it from leaking in full at MWC today.

The God of thunder himself Chris Hemsworth might star in Sony's new Men in Black spinoff.
IGN has confirmed Hemsworth is circling the role, but talks with Sony are still early. It's also not currently known what role Hemsworth would play. This spinoff, separate from the Men in Black/Jump Street crossover, is said to be a global adventure, and Sony reportedly wants a diverse cast led by a white male, a black woman, and an older man.
These characters won't be Agents K and J, portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, respectively, in the original two Men in Black movies.
Samsung's Galaxy S9 has undoubtedly been the king of the show at this year's MWC, alongside its bigger and better-specced sibling, the S9+. Samsung's flagship duo stole the spotlight from many of its competitors, and rightly so given what they deliver.

Black Panther has surpassed both Wonder Woman and Toy Story 3 at the box office to become the 20th highest grossing film domestically of all time.
According to Box Office estimates, the film made $10.1 million yesterday, bringing the film's grand domestic total to $421.8 million. Unadjusted for inflation, this puts Black Panther ahead of Wonder Woman ($412.6 million) and Toy Story 3 ($415 million), and slightly behind The Lion King's $422.8 million haul in 1994, according to Box Office Mojo.
Additionally, the Ryan Coogler-directed Marvel movie is now the third highest grossing MCU movie of all time. Just ahead of Iron Man 3 ($409 million) and behind Avengers: Age of Ultron ($459 million).

The German game developer best known for creating the Far Cry and Crysis series will now be co-helmed by Yerli’s two brothers, Avni and Faruk Yerli, whom he founded the company with. Cevat will “continue to serve as a Strategic Shareholder.”
In a press release announcing the change, Yerli says the decision was driven by a desire to “recognize the existing leadership’s excellent achievements over these past two years.” He continues by saying he looks forward to helping from a shareholder role, but does not specify how much direct involvement he will have going forward.
It seems Bruce Willis couldn't pass on the opportunity to make a surprise appearance on Jimmy Fallon's talk show Tuesday night.
Fallon kicked off the latest segment of Freestylin' with The Roots last night, which included a few rhymes by front man Tariq Trotter (a.k.a. Black Thought). As Trotter proceeded to rhyme about a few audience members, Fallon suddenly ran into none other than John McClane himself.
Willis, sporting a cast on his right arm and a grey hoodie, shared a few things about himself, including revealing that his favorite instruments are actually wind instruments. Willis also made sure to remind folks his latest film, a remake of Death Wish, opens in theaters this Friday on March 2. Check out the video above.

From The Godfather to Gone With the Wind, Hollywood has always relied on books to provide some of its best ideas -- and lucky for TV fans, the ambitious novels that were previously reserved for big budget blockbusters are finally getting the sprawling small-screen adaptations they deserve.
This week sees the release of AMC's McMafia and Hulu's The Looming Tower, two fascinating and complex series that deserve a place on your watchlist -- but there are plenty more adaptations on the horizon. Below, we spotlight 21 upcoming projects making the jump from page to screen in the next couple of years that we're particularly excited for.
Which adaptation are you most looking forward to seeing? Are you itching for another adaptation of Lord of the Rings, or is Peter Jackson's trilogy untouchable? Do you think Showtime and Lin-Manuel Miranda will do Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicle justice? Will Castle Rock will pay homage to Stephen King's work in a way that The Dark Tower couldn't? Let us know in the comments.
Journalist, author, and Black Panther comics writer Ta-Nehisi Coates will write new Captain America comics.
Coates made the announcement in an essay for The Atlantic, in which he addresses why he's decided to write stories about Steve Rogers, the character's origins, and just how important Captain America has been to the world.
The new comic, part of Marvel Comics’ Fresh Start initiative, will feature the work of artist Leinil Yu with covers by Alex Ross. The first issue will launch on July 4.
Marvel’s blunt and super-strong private investigator Jessica Jones will return to Netflix for a brand new season on March 8. Not much has been revealed about the quick-witted character’s new adventures, but based on the trailer, it looks like it’ll delve deeper into her origin and finally reveal how she received her powers. (Also be sure to check out our Jessica Jones Season 2 premiere reaction!)
The best way to refresh your memory on Jessica’s story is obviously to rewatch the first season and Marvel’s the Defenders, but not everyone has time for that. Luckily for you, we’re here to tell you everything you need to know about Jessica Jones’ story so far!
After a series of teases, Blizzard has confirmed Overwatch Hero 27 is Brigitte Lindholm, who will be available on the PTR today.
Brigitte's strengths lie in armor and defense, including her ability to throw repair packs and use her Flail, a melee weapon allowing her to hit a number of enemies with one swing. Her full list of abilities, along with their official descriptions, include:
- Rocket Flail – Brigitte’s melee weapon has an extended range, enabling her to strike multiple enemies with a single swing.
- Repair Pack – Brigitte throws a Repair Pack that can heal an ally. Any healing over that ally’s maximum health provides them with armor instead.

In the tapestry of Best Picture winners, there are more than a few films that are sorely – and often shockingly – missing. These are the movies that a lot of people assume won Best Picture, but in fact, never did. Oftentimes, it was a lesser picture (at least in retrospect) that took home the Academy’s highest honor. For example, The King’s Speech taking the prize over The Social Network. Or La La Land oh so briefly being an Oscar winner before it was revealed Moonlight had actually won.
Whether it was an upset or an oversight, we thought it’d be fun, with Oscar Sunday fast approaching, to list off some of the films commonly mistaken as Best Pictures, even though they never got the recognition from the Academy.
Marvel's upcoming new Exiles comic book series will see the comic debut of Peggy Carter as Captain America.

Following his recent heart attack, Kevin Smith has reassured fans he's feeling much better now and will be undergoing a massive lifestyle change.
Smith shared what transpired on Sunday night via a Facebook video, revealing he didn't realize he was experiencing a heart attack after a stand-up show.
"I started feeling nauseous, and I tried to lay down on the floor, and when I was laying down on the floor, I wound up getting ill, like threw up but mostly bile,” Smith said. “I just thought I got some bad milk. That was it. I started feeling pressure on my chest, but not like, ‘There’s an elephant on my chest,’ I just couldn’t catch my breath. Honestly, I was never really in pain.”
The Batman: Gotham City Chronicles board game has quadrupled its Kickstarter goal of $500,000 in less than 24 hours.
At the time of writing, Monolith Board Games has raised $2 million USD from over 8,000 backers for its Batman-themed miniatures board game — and the Kickstarter campaign still has 31 days to go. Gotham City Chronicles is expected to ship to backers in April 2019.

The new trailer for Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 reveals that protagonists Wreck-It Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) and Vanellope Von Schweetz (voiced by Sarah Silverman) venture even further beyond the world they know than they did in the 2012 original, this time journeying into the Internet itself.
As Rich Moore explained to me during a recent phone interview with him and his fellow director Phil Johnston (both veterans of the first film), the filmmakers' intention for the Disney Animation sequel was to test the friendship between Ralph and Vanellope by thrusting them out of the familiarity of the old world into the unpredictability of a wild, new one.
PlayStation Plus will stop offering monthly PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita titles from next year.
Starting March 8, 2019, the PlayStation Plus monthly games lineup will no longer include PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita titles, Sony announced today.
No other changes are being made to the service, and members will still keep access to any PS3 and Vita titles they redeem, or have redeemed, but no new games will be added beyond that point.
Sony stated it will continue to prioritize PS Plus benefits, including online multiplayer, online game save storage, monthly games on PS4, and exclusive PS Store discounts.
While times might be bleak in Hope County, Montana during the events of Far Cry 5, there's a vein of lighthearted fun running throughout the world.
There's no better example of that than the legend of Clutch Nixon, the '60s and '70s daredevil who performed impossible feats, usually half drunk, that cemented his place in Hope County lore for all time. Best of all, you'll be able to recreate some of his heroic, and exceedingly dangerous stunts, by finding commemorative plaques throughout the world.
We're happy to share one of those side missions today as part of our IGN First coverage of Far Cry 5. Suit up, put on your best '70s 'stache, and watch the story of the Spray and Pray run in the video above!
Sony has unveiled the PlayStation Plus free games lineup for March 2018:
- Bloodborne (PS4)
- Ratchet & Clank (PS4)
- Legend of Kay (PS3)
- Mighty No. 9 (PS3)
- Claire: Extended Cut (PS Vita)
- Bombing Busters (PS Vita)
Bloodborne is FromSoftware's PS4-exclusive take on the Souls series. We called it "an amazing, exacting, and exhausting pilgrimage through a gorgeous land that imposes the feeling of approaching the bottom of a descent into madness", in our 9.1 review.
Ratchet & Clank is the beautiful remake of Insomniac's classic 3D platformer - we called it "one of the most charming, creative, and rewarding adventures in recent memory."
Warner Bros. has revealed new details of the Gotham City-themed area in its Abu Dhabi Warner Bros. World park, including four new rides.
In a press release, the company revealed more about its Batman area. Themed after Gotham City, the area will include "four all-new state-of-the-art rides and attractions, authentically themed restaurants and memorabilia shops - all inspired by the characters and stories from DC's famed comic books and movies."
Legendary Hollywood producer Benjamin Melniker, who helped bring Batman to the realm of movies, has passed away at the age of 104.
The news was shared in a Facebook post from Melniker's long time collaborator Michael E. Uslan.
"It is with such sadness that I tell you of the passing of my Batman partner, the legendary Benjamin Melniker (1913-2018)," he wrote.
"'Legendary' is the only word capable of describing the man who started work at MGM in late 1939 and came to be known as 'The MGM Lion' for his forcefulness in negotiating the deals for the studio while building his reputation for integrity at the same time," Uslan wrote. "It was Ben who taught me, 'The only thing you get to take with you when you die AND leave behind is your good name.'"
Yesterday, we reported on a rather interesting find, regarding the memory configuration of Sony's latest flagship pair. Today, the plot thickens even further. Apparently, the US, UK and Canada listings for the bigger Xperia XZ2 all quote 6GB of RAM. Once again, that is 2GB more than the standard international version gets. The original scoop pertained to regional XZ2 and XZ2 Compact units for Hong Kong and Taiwan. We went over a total of four listing to confirm both phones would get the higher RAM loadout. However, while doing a follow-up sanity check on the matter today, it seems the XZ2...

Since its release one year ago, Horizon Zero Dawn has sold over 7.6 million copies, and is the "most successful new first-party franchise" to launch on PlayStation 4.
"We are incredibly grateful that Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds have been received so positively by so many gamers," said Shawn Layden, Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios, "and it is a testament to the fantastic work of the entire team at Guerrilla.
"The combination of beautiful story-telling and great characters, with excellent gameplay mechanics, has resonated well with fans and led to this exceptional sales milestone."
Other brand new, PS4-exclusive franchises have included Until Dawn, FromSoftware's Bloodborne, The Order: 1886 and the long-awaited The Last Guardian (although maybe don't hold your breath for a sequel to that one).
In a move that nobody was quite expecting, Square Enix has revealed a Sims 4 Costume pack for the upcoming Final Fantasy 15 Windows Edition.
Those who buy the Windows version of the game from EA's Origin Store before May 1 will receive the pack.
A trailer (below) showcases male and female variants of Llama and Plumbob superheroes firing crossbows and adeptly using the Armiger, whilst also enjoying some leisure time in Lestallum.
Players with the pack will be able to use the cosmetics in both the single-player campaign and the multiplayer expansion Comrades, which allows full character customization.
In return, Sims 4 players will be able to dress their avatars in a "crowned prince Noctis Lucis Caelum outfit", available from March 8.
The Blackout Club is a cooperative horror game from Question, a studio built by industry veterans whose work includes BioShock 2, BioShock Infinite, and Dishonored.
The game follows a group of teens in a small town who "band together after learning they’ve all been temporarily losing consciousness." None of the adult members of the community will speak to the kids about the incidents, including the disappearance of one of their close friends. Instead, the group launches its own investigation.
What they discover is "a hostile underworld" beneath their town, "populated by a clandestine group of adults."
Characters are customizable, each "with a variety of powers and equipment loadouts." Group members each have their own roles to play in gathering evidence to prove the crimes of the adults, including deploying drones and traps.
Orphan Black's co-creator, Graeme Manson, is the new showrunner for TNT's Snowpiercer series.
Variety reports that Manson will be replacing Josh Friedman, who left the show in January due to creative differences after writing the pilot.
“Graeme’s extensive background in the sci-fi genre coupled with his brilliant work behind Orphan Black made him the perfect choice for this series,” said executive vice president of original programming for TNT, Sarah Aubrey. "He is the best conductor to navigate the thought provoking and delicate themes of the series while bringing this frozen, futuristic world to life."

Super Mario Odyssey's huge wealth of content doesn't mean that further DLC is out of the question, but it would need to be a "really cool idea," says producer Yoshiaki Koizumi.
In an interview appearing in Game Informer's March issue - via Gaming Bolt - Koizumi discussed the massive amount of content in the game, before talking about the possibility of future DLC.
"There’s a lot of volume in Super Mario Odyssey. That was a big focus in development: give the player loads to do," he said.
H1Z1 has officially launched out of Steam Early Access, complete with an entirely new mode called Auto Royale.
Auto Royale pits up to 30 teams of four in a battle where only one vehicle can be left standing. Players can find useful items like weapons, ammo, power-ups, and fuel scattered throughout a map as they eliminate the opposition.
The mode also features two new vehicles and a new weapon only available in Auto Royale. The armored recon vehicle is a stable option great for news players, while the sedan is a speedy and agile option best suited for more skilled players. The Light Machine Gun is the new weapon, and it deals more sustained damage than any other firearm in H1Z1.
Huawei CEO Richard Yu wants you to know that his company is working on the a third generation smartwatch. No, it's not coming anytime soon, this is just an FYI. According to Yu, the Watch 2 sells well and there's no need to hurry. The Watch 2 was unveiled at MWC 2017 and some expected to see the 3rd edition this year. Clearly, this didn't happen and there were no new Huawei phones either (the P10 was another MWC 2017 announcement).

LG's official announcements at MWC this year were admittedly a bit light on the hardware front, with a major focus on AI instead. In case you missed it, the V30S ThinQ and V30S+ ThinkQ were unveiled at the Barcelona venue, with most of the focus falling on the company's new and ambitious smart platform, rather than the new V30 colors and memory upgrade. Still, that is not to say the Korean giant didn't bring any hardware to the venue. We just had to go looking for it around the showfloor. What we found were three new mid-rangers - the K10, K10+ and K8. Well, technically, two, since the...

The phone has Exynos 7870 chipset, coupled with 3 GB RAM and runs Android Oreo. The single-core score of the device is 728, while the multi-core result is 3683, although these results are comparable only with the alleged Galaxy J6 (2018) and the eventual Galaxy J4 (2018) due to the Geekbench version.

The Yakuza 6: The Song of Life Demo has been removed from the US PlayStation Store after SEGA discovered users were able to unlock the full game.
The official SEGA Twitter account issued an apology today for having to remove the demo for the latest Yakuza title.
We’re looking into the nature of the issue. Thank you for your patience. 2/2
— SEGA (@SEGA) February 27, 2018
The tweet explains that some players were able to use the demo to unlock the full game without paying for the full game, which isn't too surprising given its whopping 36.53GB download size.
Today, Amazon has agreed to acquire Ring - the company behind the Ring Doorbell, an internet-connected doorbell that offers a live visual and audible feeds at your home's front door. Likewise, you can intercom with guests who arrive at your home via the Ring app. An agreement was made to the tune of over $1 billion, though this is an estimated number based on reports. Specific terms of the deal haven't been made known just yet, but we don't expect the Ring brand to go anywhere. Amazon will keep Ring's core business intact as a daughter company while Amazon sprinkles its name and Prime...

While the latest update for Super Mario Odyssey added Luigi's Balloon World, it also patched out several glitches, including a major one used by speedrunners.
As detailed in our Super Mario Odyssey cheats and secrets guide, prior to the update, players could perform a trick where they capture a frog mid-air with Cappy and find themselves hovering in a glitched swimming position. Speedrunners took advantage of this glitch to quickly clear the game's Darker Side area.
IGN can verify Luigi's Balloon World update has removed this glitch from the game.
Since its debut in the third season of The Clone Wars, Mortis has been one of the most unique and divisive elements in the Star Wars canon.
Combining strands of Force mysticism and ancient Jedi lore in ways never before seen in a Star Wars story, Mortis continues to be a much debated topic in the fandom; and this week on Star Wars Rebels, its presence was felt again.
A three episode story arc in The Clone Wars, the Mortis episodes find Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and Obi-Wan Kenobi responding to a Jedi distress code that appears to be thousands of years old. Upon arriving, they’re drawn into a strange, diamond-shaped monolith, and transported into what appears to be an entirely different dimension.

Three new iPhones are reportedly in the works to be released by Apple this year.
According to Bloomberg, Apple is working on three different devices to target a wider range of customers after the iPhone X sold less than expected potentially, in part possibly due to reported production delays.
The trio of smartphones reportedly includes a large "phablet" — a phone nearing the size of a tablet — which will be the biggest iPhone ever, a new phone similar in size to the iPhone X, and a cheaper model with fewer features.
Dogs are amazing and wonderful, but the time we spend with them on this Earth is far too short. However, if you're enormously wealthy, you can extend your time with your beloved dog by having a perfect copy made, thanks to science.
Barbara Streisand, the fabulously wealthy and talented star of both 1968's Funny Girl and 2010's Meet the Fockers, had her beloved dog Samantha cloned. Twice.
According to Variety, Streisand wanted her photo for the magazine's upcoming issue to feature her with her dogs, with the Streisand-suggested caption "Send in the clones."
Nokia is having a blast at MWC this year, having announced both a new flagship (the Nokia 8 Sirocco) as well as the Nokia 7 plus, perhaps the most intriguing device in its current roster. It's a premium midranger powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 660, in theory promising to give you most of the performance of a phone powered by an 8-series chip, but for a fraction of the price. The Nokia 7 plus will cost €399 when it hits the streets, and you get plenty of hardware for that amount. An 18:9 screen, Nokia's first? Check. A dual rear camera setup with 2x optical zoom? Check. An interesting...

I know, I know. You're all like "Fowler, shut the hell up with your John Cena vs. The Undertaker obsession. You suck! And you smell like poo!"
True, I haven't exactly been coy about wanting to see Cena face Undertaker in the Deadman's (advertised as such) last match in WWE. In fact, the only person I'm sure wants to see this match happen more than me is...well, John Cena.
Last year, Cena vs. Undertaker was one of the rumored WrestleMania bouts but the the decision was made to put Taker against Roman Reigns and Cena was left in the lurch. He wasn't too publicly vocal about it though he did bring it up, during a promo against The Miz (where in insisted he didn't have the pull everyone thinks he has), who'd, at that point, become his WrestleMania opponent. He basically said something like "If I really had the type of power you think I have, I'd be facing Undertaker instead of you."
Late last year Asus unveiled the Zenfone Max Plus (M1), and today at MWC the company took the wraps off its slightly smaller sibling, the Zenfone Max (M1). This model comes with a 5.5-inch 1,440x720 18:9 IPS display capable of up to 400 nits of brightness. The phone has an 83% screen-to-body ratio thanks to its slim bezels. It's powered by either the Snapdragon 425 or the Snapdragon 430, depending on which variation you happen to buy. Similarly, you can get it with up to 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, but there may be some lower-end options in some markets. The Zenfone Max (M1)...

A new character will reportedly be added to The New Mutants during reshoots this summer.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox's upcoming X-Men spinoff "will undergo a round of additional photography this summer that will insert a new character into the thriller." The New Mutants was previously stated to open in theaters this April, but last month the film was delayed to February 22, 2019.
THR also reports the search for a director for the Channing Tatum-led Gambit movie is underway and a new draft of the script is expected next month.
After introducing the entry-level Zenfone 5 Lite, Asus got to the main event of its MWC press conference. That is, of course, the Zenfone 5. And the higher-end Zenfone 5z. These models are almost identical, save for the chipset used, and the amount of RAM and storage you can get them with. They are both filled to the brims with AI: AI Boost (for more power when gaming), AI Photography (with scene detection, photo learning, portrait mode and beautification), AI Display (stays on while you're looking at it and has automatic color temperature adjustment), and even AI Ringtone (which...

The 90th Academy Awards will take place on March 4th, 2018 at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater. Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and Jordan Peele’s Get Out are just some of the exciting nominees for best picture this year, which should make for an entertaining evening with Jimmy Kimmel acting as host. (You can find our full list of nominations right here.)
The 2018 Oscars begin at 5 PM ET with red carpet coverage with the official ceremony following at 8 PM on ABC. The entire broadcast will be available on the ABC App and ABC GO but you have to sign in with a participating TV provider.
While the $52.4 billion merger/acquisition of 20th Century Fox by Disney lumbers forward like Galactus on his way to devour a planet, Fox's Marvel movie plans continue unabated -- for the moment, at least. And aside from the various X-Men flicks in development, that also includes a "secret" Silver Surfer project that is being written by Saga and Y: The Last Man writer/creator Brian K. Vaughan.
The Hollywood Reporter has this news in a story today about the unusual position that Fox execs find themselves in while they await the Disney acquisition. And while no other details were revealed regarding the Silver Surfer movie, it does make sense since we already knew that the studio was looking for ways to utilize their other non-X-Men Marvel characters, namely the Fantastic Four and that group's associated characters. Legion showrunner Noah Hawley had previously been reported to be working on a Doctor Doom movie. Both Doom and the Surfer are classic FF players.
Surprise! Outlast: Bundle of Terror has been released for Nintendo Switch on the eShop. Developer Red Barrels initially announced the port via Facebook and quickly went silent, until now.
Outlast: Bundle Of Terror assembles the first game and its Whistleblower DLC into one terrifying little package, slaps on a $19.99 price tag, and eagerly awaits to shorten your life with some heart-pounding horror.
The release date for the Switch version of Outlast II is still unknown, but taking into account how Red Barrels just jump-scared the original onto the eShop without warning, we could theoretically be getting it anytime.
Outlast: Bundle Of Terror is now available on Nintendo Switch for $19.99.
Two new teaser images appear to reveal the new Overwatch Hero’s weapon and the long rumoured cat in a jet pack.
Blizzard are gearing up to reveal hero 27 and have followed up last week’s teaser story content with two new images on the Official Overwatch Twitter account. Previously, fans had been lead to believe that Emre Sarioglu would be hero 27, but these two new images heavily indicate our new hero may in fact be Törbjorn’s daughter and weapons specialist, Brigitte.
Samsung will be launching the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ smartphones in India on March 6 at an event in New Delhi. The company has started sending out invitations to the media for the same.

Samsung is currently accepting INR 2000 as booking amount and the rest will have to be paid when the devices launch next week. Earlier today, we saw the Indian prices of both the models and its variants leak. If...

At its press conference at MWC today, Asus unveiled three new smartphones, the first being the Zenfone 5 Lite. This is going to be the entry-level model in the Zenfone 5 family. It packs four cameras, two of them with a 120-degree wide-angle field-of-view, one on each side. The main rear camera is a 16 MP unit, while the main selfie snapper is a 20 MP part using the Sony IMX376 sensor. The phone has a 6-inch 2,160x1,080 display, and an 80.3% screen-to-body ratio, which is commendable for a "lite" version. At least two variants will be made available, one powered by the Qualcomm...

So imagine our surprise to find out that the Galaxy S9 and S9+ have just such a sensor. Besides blood pressure, the phone can measure your stress levels as well. Samsung also plans to expand Bixbi's skills to allow it to judge the calories of a meal just by looking at it through the camera. This tech was co-developed with the University of California San Francisco in a collaboration dubbed My BP Lab. Users can opt into a three-week UCFS...

The Entertainment Software Rating Board has announced that it will be assigning labels to physical games with microtransactions.
Consumers will be warned about elements such as season passes, virtual currency and loot boxes by the new "In-Game Purchases" sticker. The label will also be present "wherever those games can be downloaded" in the near future.
ESRB's goal is to provide parents with "comprehensive tools" to make decisions on what games are appropriate for their children.
"Parents will know when a game contains offers for players to purchase additional content," ESRB president Patricia Vance said in a statement.
A new website, ParentalTools.org has also been launched alongside a nationwide campaign to make parents aware of the information available to them.
Chrono Trigger is now available on PC, via Steam.
Today Square Enix announced Chrono Trigger, widely considered to be one of the all-time great RPGs, is available on Steam. The release, however, appears to be a port of the poorly received mobile version.
The newly-released Steam version includes two additional dungeons, including the Dimensional Vortex dungeon and the Lost Sanctum dungeon from the DS and mobile versions. The PC version also includes updated graphics and sound, mouse and keyboard as well as controller support, and a new autosave feature in addition to the Save Point functionality of the original. It also contains a remastered soundtrack created under the supervision of Yasunori Mitsuda, the game's original composer.
HMD Global's CEO, Florian Seiche, may have confirmed that the new batch of products isn't headed stateside. "It's not a core focus for this year, but certainly it is on our roadmap", but a new report suggests that the Nokia 1, Nokia 6(2018) and Nokia 7 Plus may be heading to the US in Q2 after all - unlocked. While not available through any US carriers, it's possible to buy selected Nokia phones through retailers. Amazon, for example, currently list the Nokia 2, Nokia 6 (old model) and the 3310 3G among others. This is likely to continue with sources suggesting that the Nokia 1 and the...

April is an exciting time for Hearthstone fans each year, as it’s when the game changes the most. Not only is a new expansion released, but it marks the beginning of a new Hearthstone year; when a full year’s worth of cards leave the Standard format. Suddenly hundreds of staple cards – some of which the community has been playing with for up to two years – are gone, and the game is turned on its head.
This year’s set rotation will see us say goodbye to the Year of the Mammoth (and with it the cards from Whispers of the Old Gods, One Night in Karazhan and Mean Streets of Gadgetzan) and say hello to the Year of the Raven. What the first expansion will be, we don’t know yet (but you can take a guess based on the teaser image below), but we do know that there are some important changes coming.
If you've been paying close attention to the media you may have noticed a unique relationship developing between some of the world's most ancient cultures and the newest medium for storytelling.
Similarly to Upper One Games' Never Alone, which worked heavily in tune the native Alaskan Iñupiaq people to bring global attention and preservation of their culture's stories, Mulaka is the latest title to join the digital preservation front. It's an indie-developed 3D action-adventure puzzle game from Mexico-based studio Lienzo that centers around the Tarahumara indigenous culture: the native people of the land who live alongside them in Chihuahua, Mexico.

A Planet of the Apes VR game is coming to PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive on April 3.
Titled Crisis on the Planet of the Apes, the VR adventure is experienced from the perspective of an ape trying to escape a "heavily guarded scientific facility." Crisis is set five years after the Simian Flu outbreak, the widespread virus that devastated humanity and granted apes human-like intelligence.
Crisis is developed by Imaginati Studios, in partnership with FoxNext VR Studio, 20th Century Fox's VR-focused subsidiary. Imaginati also developed Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier, the cinematic adventure game released last year on PlayStation 4.
Epic has announced its hugely successful free-to-play game, Fortnite, will soon be getting jetpacks.
The announcement was made via an in-game notification. Details are sparse, as the update simply reads, "Jetpack (coming soon): Take the fight to all new heights."
Given how Epic typically handles announcements for the game, which are usually the week before an update goes live, we may see players soaring across the map as soon as March 9. The image also sports a yellow background, which could mean jetpacks may be a legendary drop, but Epic has yet to officially reveal all the information about the item.
Samsung announced the highly anticipated Galaxy S9+ on Sunday with dual cameras - the first having a variable aperture for different scenes, the other being the well-known telephoto shooter from the Galaxy Note8. While in Barcelona, we decided to put the Samsung flagship against the most powerful Apple phone - the iPhone X. From a technical standpoint, the primary cam can go either f/1.5 or f/2.4 and nowhere in between. It is 12 MP with a 1/2.55" sensor size and with the already familiar DualPixel technology for bright and vivid images. The second one has the same amount of megapixels but...

Note the Android version (8.1) and OxygenOS version (5.1), they are ahead of what's currently available for the 5T. The back is a different story - a vertically-oriented dual camera with rectangular fingerprint reader below it. When OnePlus moved the fingerprint reader to...

Shazam is the next big DC hero joining the DC Extended Universe in 2019. But his first DCEU outing won't pit him against Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam, as many fans expected. Instead, he'll be clashing with another of his long-time enemies, Doctor Sivana (as played by Mark Strong).
Sivana may be a big part of the Shazam comics, but don't fret if you're unfamiliar with this mad scientist villain. We're breaking down everything you need to know about Doctor Sivana and his rivalry with the World's Mightiest Mortal. Read on!
If Shazam is like Superman, then Doctor Sivana is very much his Lex Luthor. This mad scientist is Billy Batson's oldest and most persistent foe. And where Shazam is a magical hero empowered by six mighty gods, Sivana has the power of science at his disposal. Sivana is a super-genius who believes the world doesn't appreciate what he has to offer (hence why he found a new home on the planet Venus). As a result, he'll keep inventing new doomsday weapons to hold the world ransom until the day he finally overcomes the meddlesome Captain Marvel Family.
Land Rover is a brand mostly popular with its 4WD vehicles that tend to go places unreachable by ordinary cars.

And now the most famous Vulcan of them all, Mr. Spock, is getting his autobiography released thanks to Titan Books, the same folks who previously gave us The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard and The Autobiography of James T. Kirk. Like those books, The Autobiography of Mr. Spock was written by David A. Goodman and will be an "in-universe memoir chronicling the story of one of Starfleet's fan favorites." It will also include an eight-page full color-plate section and will be published in hardback by Titan on October 16, 2018.
The Rocketeer is finally getting a reboot, but probably not the way you imagined.
Disney Junior has announced production on a new animated adventure series inspired by the 1980s Dave Stevens comic books and the 1991 film of the same name.
Aimed at kids aged 2-7 and their young-at-heart relatives, The Rocketeer will follow Kit, a young girl who receives a surprise package on her birthday revealing she's next in line to become the Rocketeer, a legendary superhero who has the ability to fly with the help of a rocket-powered jet pack. She'll be joined in her new mission with her gadget-minded best friend, Tesh, and airplane mechanic uncle, Ambrose.
The announcement was made by Joe D'Ambrosia, senior vice president of Original Programming at Disney Junior, who said, "We are very excited to introduce The Rocketeer to our young Disney Junior audience. The vast storytelling found in the original comic books provides the perfect opportunity to create an exciting new adventure series told from a young girl superhero perspective that the whole family can enjoy together."
It's pretty clear the full screen display trend isn't going away any time soon. And since staying relevant is essential in the mobile realm, it should come as no surprise that LG Display is working on some designs of its own.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for the most recent episodes of Star Wars Rebels!
Last week, Star Wars Rebels shifted in a somber direction as Kanan Jarrus made the ultimate sacrifice in order to save his family (and score a significant blow against the Empire in the process). This week, our heroes finished grieving for their fallen comrade and took up a new mission against the Empire. And in the process, they encountered a familiar face from seasons past - Ahsoka Tano.
A prominent player in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Ahsoka more recently resurfaced during Season 2 of Rebels. There, she aided Kanan and the rest in their battles against the Sith Inquisitors. Ahsoka's character arc reached its dramatic climax in the Season 2 finale, as she dueled Darth Vader and learned that it was her former master, Anakin Skywalker, underneath that fearsome armor. Vader himself escaped the ruins of the Sith temple, but Ahsoka's fate remained unclear up until tonight's new episodes.
Writer Tom King is over 40 issues deep into his Batman saga, and there are still numerous Batman villains that have yet to take the spotlight. Batman #41 ticks another item off the checklist by focusing on Poison Ivy's latest plot to overthrow the destructive world of men. But while this issue serves as a promising start to King and artist Mikel Janin's latest collaboration, it also highlights a particular problem with Poison Ivy. She may well be the most inconsistently written character in DC's Batman comics lately.
