Blizzard created a VR prototype of its popular card game, Hearthstone, and after testing it, decided it would probably not work, meaning fans will probably never see it. Hearthstone is a free-to-play virtual card game set in the Warcraft universe. Players are meant to replicate notable figures, heroes, and villains from the universe who are taking a break from running around raiding and looting, to sit down for a game of cards against an opponent in a quaint and fantastical tavern....

Fans of the James Bond feature franchise will want to be sure to check out this 007 poster from yesteryear, reimagined with Charlize Theron as the eponymous Agent 007. Fresh off recent reports that Daniel Craig is set to return as Bond in the upcoming Bond 25 - despite previous comments from Craig that suggested 2015’s Spectre would be his final outing as the suave secret agent - it appears as though there is finally some real progress being made on the next installment in the larger James Bond movie franchise now....

In an Irish radio interview, Bono discusses his various collaborations with Apple, as transcribed by TUAW. Interesting, Bono claims Apple now has 885 million iTunes accounts (up from 800 million as officially announced in April). With his work on a mysterious new music format, he aims to help Apple cross the billion accounts mark. The new medium has apparently been underway for a while, spanning back to a conversation with Steve Jobs in 2009....

Borderlands 2 has seen a big boost in popularity on the Steam store, becoming one of the most played titles according to some analytical data. This is something of a strange development considering the game was the recent attack of review bombs on Steam due to Gearbox announcing that their upcoming Borderlands 3 would be an Epic Games Store exclusive until 2020. Borderlands 2 originally released in 2012 and instantly became one of the most popular games in the world....

Better Call Saul season 3 finds itself in a unique place. Season 2 delivered a series of strong character moments for the likes of Jimmy, Mike, Kim, and especially Chuck, but nevertheless was a sometimes languorous affair that, while undoubtedly fascinating for those who find legal paperwork to be intrinsically dramatic and lively entertainment, could only push its main plots so far before it was forced to resolve them. That left the season to end on the double cliffhanger of Jimmy McGill’s taped confession of having committed a felony and the implicit arrival of Giancarlo Esposito’s Gus Fring, everyone’s favorite dapper purveyor of fast food fried chicken and, you know, meth....

Big Brother star Elissa Reilly Slater, sister of Big Brother Season 13 winner Rachel Reilly, recently admitted that she initially didn’t want to go on the reality show to begin with. There was a lot happening in her life - like being a mom - that made her hesitant about going on the show. Viewers first met Elissa on Season 15 of CBS’s Big Brother - the surveillance-based reality TV show that monitors 16 strangers as they live together and compete for $500,000....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Birds of Prey. Last Updated: March 20, 2020 Jared Leto didn’t return to reprise his DCEU role as Joker in Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), but why? Warner Bros. latest comic book release brings back Margot Robbie’s fan-favorite Harley onto the big screen. This time, however, she’s with a brand new team of all-female members. Directed by Cathy Yan with the script from Christina Hodson, the movie introduces us to new Gotham key players: Huntress/Helena Bertinelli (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Dinah Laurel Lance/Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bett), Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) and Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco)....

In this BitLife health guide tutorial, we will show you how to treat all the illnesses. If a game belongs to the real-life simulation genre, then it has to incorporate each and every aspect of it. And BitLife seems to have effectively done so. Whether you like it or not, but the probability of your character catching a disease and getting ill is a very much possibility. When you get a disease, your health begins to deteriorate continuously....

Each year it seems that Black Friday’s deals start earlier and earlier. Each company tries to one-up each other to gain a leg up. While many of the hard-hitting sales are not live until the day of, Best Buy has decided to throw a pre-Black Friday sale to start things off. These Blu-rays are instant classics ready to earn a place in your home before the holiday season. Get an early start on your Black Friday and Christmas shopping with Best Buy’s best buys on $4....

After years of fans begging Marvel Studios to give Natasha Romanoff her own movie, they’ve finally relented and gotten one into production. The only downside is that it’s right after the character was killed off following a nine-year tenure as one of the MCU’s foremost heroes. But at least it’s actually happening. There’s no release date set for Black Widow, but it’s expected to be released some time in 2020 and Kevin Feige has called it the beginning of the next chapter of the MCU, which is pretty exciting....

The patent sale is the final nail on the coffin of BlackBerry’s smartphone services, which first rose to prominence during the early 2000s for its phones with built-in QWERTY keyboards and email and BlackBerry Messenger support. The sale comes weeks after Blackberry turned off the lights for its smartphone services. The legacy patents will be acquired by Catapult IP Innovations, a special purpose vehicle that was specifically formed for the acquisition....

Netflix’s post-apocalyptic thriller Bird Box is such a hit that it’s generated its own meme culture, so Screen Rant’s Ryan George is here to show us what (probably) happened in the original pitch meeting for the movie. Bird Box stars Sandra Bullock as Malorie, a woman who finds herself fighting to survive in a world infested with monsters that drive anyone who sees them to suicide. Well… almost anyone. The criminally insane don’t kill themselves upon seeing the monsters, but instead become their devoted disciples and go to great lengths to try and force others to look at the monsters as well....

Warning: SPOILERS for Birds of Prey. Margot Robbie returns to her iconic role as Harley Quinn in director Cathy Yan’s ribald, R-rated superheroine team-up film, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Birds of Prey features the irrepressible criminal with her own girl gang, consisting of Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Detective Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez), and teenage pickpocket Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco)....

BitTorrent today has announced that it is bringing a new app to the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV that allows users to stream a variety of videos and music, mostly from independent and generally unknown artists and filmmakers. The app doesn’t let you access the insurmountable amount of illegal content available on various torrent sites, but rather on-demand streaming content that’s perfectly legal. The app, called BitTorrent Now, will act a lot like other streaming services....

Blindspotting effectively balances buddy comedy with astute social commentary, providing fun and gut-wrenching anger and despair in equal measure. Daveed Diggs, a veteran of the musical theater scene, saw his star rise in a major way after joining the Broadway smash hit Hamilton as the Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson. After departing Hamilton in 2016, he’s transitioned to film and television, taking roles in Netflix series The Get Down and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt as well as Wonder and Ferdinand....

Following multiple discussions about Apple employees returning to the company’s offices, Bloomberg has now reported that Apple has decided to delay the return to in-person work for at least a month. According to people familiar with the matter, the decision is related to the COVID-19 variants that have been spreading across several countries. As the COVID-19 vaccination accelerates around the world, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced in June that Apple employees would return to the office in September....

High school is all about finding ourselves. Some of us are still searching long after we’ve tossed our graduation cap in the air. But others, like Booksmart’s Molly and Amy, have known who they are since preschool. They’re the smart girls who are going to Ivy League schools and will one day rule the world. But Molly gets a splash of reality—courtesy of a condom water balloon—that the class clowns and party animals of her high school also got into excellent colleges....

Upcoming streaming service HBO Max is looking to land another big property, and may have found one in The Big Bang Theory. The long-running CBS comedy concluded this past May, and initially focused on scientists Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter, as well as their neighbor Penny. It premiered in 2007, and eventually expanded its spotlight to include their friends Raj, Howard, Amy, and Bernadette. In addition to its main cast, The Big Bang Theory was famous for its big guest stars, including Christine Baranski, Laurie Metcalf, and Bob Newhart....

The eighth season of Big Brother Canada finally had a premiere date released in the form of March 4, and that news on its own was a friendly reminder of how much any Big Brother fans should be paying attention to Big Brother Canada. Most international versions of the show stray far from the format that the U.S. show has used for so many years. Often the audience is given a larger amount of power in voting for who gets evicted each week, and even who wins the game in the end, rather than the houseguests themselves deciding this all....

Amandla Stenberg has revealed the (very respectable) reason why she passed on playing a role in Marvel’s blockbuster hit Black Panther. It’s no surprise to learn that she was originally pursuing a role in the superhero film; what might be surprising is why she decided she wasn’t right for the part. Stenberg was recently in Toronto as part of the TIFF Next Wave Festival, where she discussed her career, and why she walked away from this season’s biggest movie....
