Best decisions game of thrones telltale

Netflix unexpectedly dropped an extended teaser trailer for its forthcoming fantasy series Shadow and Bone during a panel at IGN Fan Fest. The hotly anticipated series is adapted from Leigh Bardugo's bestselling "Grishaverse" novels and will premiere on April 23. (Mild spoilers for the books below.) Bardugo published Shadow and Bone , the first of a trilogy, in June 2012, followed by Siege and Storm in 2013 and Ruin and Rising in 2014. She told Entertainment Weekly in 2012 that she deliberately avoided the usual medieval fantasy motifs and drew inspiration instead from the Russian Empire in the early 1800s. "As much as I love broadswords and flagons of ale—and believe me, I do—I wanted to take readers someplace a little different," she said. "Tsarist Russia gave me a different point of departure." Inspiration for the menacing Shadow Fold—the trilogy's Big Bad—came from her decision to not treat "darkness" metaphorically, but literally.

HBO Max is the premium network's streaming service featuring all the channel's regular programming plus an amped-up library of extra shows, movies and originals. In an unprecedented move, HBO Max will stream all Warner Bros.' new, theatrically released movies at no extra charge the same day each film hits US cinemas this year -- they'll stay on HBO Max for one month only. The latest first-run film on Max is Tom and Jerry, an update of the classic cartoon that mixes live-action filming with computer-generated animation; it began streaming Friday. Next up will be Godzilla vs. Kong on March 31. (See the next section for a list of all the titles and their expected release dates and times.) But HBO Max has killed its weeklong free trial . That means if you want to stream originals, like the four-hour-long (!) Snyder Cut of Justice League coming March 18, or any of the Warner Bros. movies on its 2021 slate, including Matrix 4 and Dune later this year, you need to … [Read more...] about HBO Max: How to watch Tom and Jerry, Snyder Cut — plus, everything else to know

The next Dragon Age game will no longer have multiplayer aspects, according to a new Bloomberg report . The game, made by EA-owned studio BioWare, had reportedly “been designed with a heavy multiplayer component,” but it has been turned into a single-player game “in recent months.” However, we still haven’t seen much of the game since it was first announced with a brief teaser trailer in December 2018 , and we don’t know what the multiplayer component could have looked like. Even though the game has been in the works for some time — development started in 2015, reports Bloomberg — there’s still no release date for it just yet, meaning it could be a ways off, and things could change. BioWare recently showed fleeting glimpses of the game in August and in December . The change comes amid other developments that have apparently led EA to be more willing to embrace a single-player-only Dragon Age . On Wednesday, EA announced that Anthem Next , the planned reboot of … [Read more...] about The next Dragon Age will reportedly be single-player only amid other shifts at EA

Better battery life Google's new Sleep API enables low-power sleep tracking on Android devices. Babu Mohan 26 Feb 2021 0 Source: Google What you need to know Google is making its Sleep API publicly available. The API is used to power features like Bedtime mode in Google's Clock app. Developers can now use the Sleep API as part of the latest Google Play Services. Google has decided to make its Sleep API publicly available to help Android users stay informed about their sleep and allow developers to create great sleep tracking apps that have minimal impact on battery life. Most developers currently use detection algorithms that are inconsistent between apps. When multiple apps check for changes in user activity independently and continuously, your phone's battery drains faster than usual. Nick Grayson, Product Manager at Google, wrote in a blog post : So much of what we do relies on a good night's rest. Our phones have become … [Read more...] about Sleep tracking on Android is about to get a lot better with Google’s new Sleep API
