This is a spoiler-free review of Season 1, episode 1 of DC Universe’s Titans. Above, check out our spoiler-filled interview with star Brenton Thwaites as he breaks down what happened in the series premiere.
Titans immediately grabbed our attention when it debuted its first trailer at San Diego Comic-Con – mainly because it saw Robin (Brenton Thwaites), the most loyal and idealistic of superhero sidekicks, muttering “F*** Batman,” with his face covered in blood.
Like clockwork, the Call of Duty franchise has been a fixture of the first-person shooter genre with yearly installments for over a decade. And every year, the debate over which games in the series have stood the test of time rages on. So our in-office Call of Duty fans have once again pooled their collective thoughts to decide which entries deserve to be in the Top 10 spot.
This list is not based on IGN reviews scores, but they have been taken into consideration (check them all out in the slideshow below) along with overall quality, lasting impact, cultural influence, and complete presentation.
With that in mind, here are our picks for the greatest Call of Duty games of all time.
The Romanoffs’ first two episodes premiere Friday, October 12 on Amazon. Following this, there will be a new installment each week. This is a spoiler-free review of the first two, “The Violet Hour” and “The Royal We.”
Amazon’s new anthology dramedy series, The Romanoffs, is the kind of abstract “show about everything and nothing” that one can assemble, and get away with, if – say – you have the clout of being the creator and showrunner of Mad Men.
Yes, it’s been three years since Mad Men sold its last ad and Matthew Weiner is back with an engaging, but ultimately formless, quirky movie festival disguised as a streaming series. In The Romanoffs, the only connective tissue between the episodes is that someone in the story is (or thinks they are) a descendant of the Russian Romanov dynasty. The family’s last remaining Czar-connected members were famously executed by the Bolsheviks in the summer of 1918.

Plug and play retro consoles have come a long way. We still have the simple consoles with the composite video cables you can buy pretty much anywhere, but the NES Classic introduced a whole new class or boutique, collector-quality retro consoles that output through an HDMI cable. The fact the original mini, the NES Classic, was so hard to find for so long, and eventually inspired a second, much more plentiful run, shows there is enormous demand for these.
The adorable mini Super NES and NES aren’t hard to come by anymore, and the PlayStation Classic can still be picked up at some retailers. The very cool C64 Mini is the first competent retro all-in-one computer console, and it just came out and can be scooped up, too, so you can finally see . Here’s a quick guide to getting your hands on your favorite retro all-in-one console.

In statements on a blog post and on Twitter, Wendig, who was writing for Marvel’s Shadow of Vader comic book series, as well as an unannounced Star Wars book, opened up about the firing, which he says was due to “vulgarity” and “negativity” on social media.
So, here’s a thing that has happened – I just got fired from Marvel. Taken off issues 4 and 5 of SHADOW OF VADER, and taken off an as-yet-unannounced SW book.
Not content to let the annually busy fall season see any dull moment, Sony has been changing up the PlayStation 4 quite a bit over the last few weeks. PSN ID changes, a cross-platform play beta, huge updates to PS Now, and more changes have been announced in the last few weeks.
It’s a surprising rush of tweaks to a console so late in its life cycle, but it’s a trend that many fans have taken notice of over the last few days. And while each announcement on its own has come as a surprise, taken all together they seemingly show quite clearly how PlayStation is setting itself up for the PS5.
Netflix continues to bombard the digital media sphere in 2018, releasing a reported 676 hours of original movies and television series in Q3 alone.
Per Variety, the milestone is “more than double the amount of Netflix originals launched in Q3 2017 (289 hours) and up 50% from 452 hours in Q2 2018.” The data was gathered by Cowen and Co, a diversified financial services firm.
The report also gave us a look at the streaming provider’s growth as a company, with a heavy emphasis on acquiring new international subscribers, which could amount to 4.35 million. The numbers offer valuable insight into why Netflix is investing so heavily in non-American original programming, with series like Germany’s Dark and India’s Sacred Games, to name a few. Netflix is playing a global streaming takeover game, and so far, it appears to be working.
