Far Cry 5 took the elements that made the series great and mixed them into a heady Molotov cocktail of action and politics. The story picks up in Hope County, Montana. You play an unnamed junior sheriff who must liberate Hope County from the Project at Eden’s Gate cult, which is fronted by its charismatic leader Jacob Steed. This is done in true Far Cry fashion, as players can liberate areas, explore the game’s huge open world map, and battle against the less-than-hospitable wildlife....

A teaser has launched for the Fast & Furious 9 trailer ahead of its release and live concert next week. Universal has yet to begin marketing the ninth Fast & Furious movie, which is odd considering it comes out in May. Most of the other big studio films opening that month - like Marvel’s Black Widow and WB’s animated Scooby-Doo reboot Scoob! - are already well into their promotional campaigns, having dropped their trailers in the final quarter of 2019....

When AMC announced it was creating a prequel spinoff to ratings juggernaut The Walking Dead, there was a healthy mix of skepticism and excitement. Sure, TWD was and continues to be a ratings phenomenon, but the question remained: Would adding a second zombie-based show to AMC’s schedule risk over saturating the genre? With regard to the ratings of Fear the Walking Dead so far, the resounding answer to that question appears to be: “no....

Siri is steadily getting better with new features and improvements, but one place where the voice assistant could still learn a thing or two is how it pronounces city names. Siri tries its best to pronounce the names of cities based on their spelling, but this often leads to a comically bad mispronunciation that makes Siri sound like a complete out-of-towner. That’s not exactly a boost of confidence when you’re relying on Siri for navigation even if the directions are totally accurate....

Darth Vader is one of the most endlessly fascinating characters in the Star Wars universe. Stories of his exploits, adventures, and misdeeds are as widely known in our galaxy as they are his.

Under the program, carriers that have under 10 million customers as well as some schools, libraries, and healthcare providers are able to access funds to rip out and replace network equipment and services from Huawei and ZTE, if they provide broadband services. For the purpose of the program, equipment would need to be capable of speeds above 200kbps in either direction. The fund was established with a pot of $1....

Fear the Walking Dead season 5, episode 6, “The Little Prince”, finally saw the main characters reunited as they dealt with the return of the radioactive zombies, another complication in Dwight’s search for Sherry, and the children who are determined to survive on their own.

FF8’s SeeD rankings are actually pretty stressful for players, successfully mimicking how it must feel for Squall and the rest of the candidates from Balamb Garden. The mercenary organization is a major player in the FF8 narrative but will also form a basic foundation for how Squall experiences the world around him. A higher FF8 SeeD ranking will give players a better salary, and that’s determined by completing a series of field exams and written tests that will help determine Squall’s SeeD Rank....

A hidden message in the most recent update for Grand Theft Auto Online could hint at an upcoming sequel to 2006’s open world boarding school game Bully. Also released by Rockstar Games, Bully was never quite as popular as the studio’s more well-known franchises like Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto, but amassed its own cult following and ended up getting a expanded version with additional content a few years after release titled Bully: Scholarship Edition....

With next year’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2, Warner Bros. and J.K. Rowling will continue their second Wizarding World franchise. And while Harry and his friends won’t be showing up anytime soon — without a healthy time jump — the movies will explore the relationship between Newt Scamander and Albus Dumbledore. They’ll also focus on Newt’s complicated history with Leta Lestrange in an arc that may see Zoë Kravitz return for multiple films....

What the Fantastic Four Offer To The MCU In a way, the fact that the Fantastic Four haven’t had a really great movie adaptation yet is one of the biggest points in their favor. It would be very difficult for Marvel to find a new Professor Xavier after Patrick Stewart spent seventeen years making the role his own, but few people are particularly attached to Jessica Alba’s Sue Storm or Miles Teller’s Reed Richards....

Remember when the Fast & Furious movies were about drag racing, and its cast was a handful of lesser-known actors? Over the course of 15 years and seven movies, as the ambitions and budgets have grown for this franchise, the cast has as well, frequently adding a star or two every time out. The eighth film in the series, Fast & Furious 8/Fast 8 has begun production - and while there won’t be any more CGI resurrections of the late Paul Walker, new cast members this time around include Scott Eastwood, Kristofer “Tormund Giantsbane” Hivju and Oscar-winner Charlize Theron, all of whom join perennials Vin Diesel, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and the rest....

A new fan petition is calling for John Wick star Keanu Reeves to be named Time’s Person of the Year. Thanks to his performance in the action packed John Wick films, the latest of which was released in May to healthy box office returns, Reeves is now back among the top stars in Hollywood.

The Fast & Furious 9 trailer has set an official January release date and will drop as part of a live concert in Miami. Since its humbling beginnings as a Point Break-esque film about street car racing in the early 2000s, the Fast & Furious brand has evolved into an extremely popular action series about globe-trotting superheroes like Dominic “Dom” Toretto (Vin Diesel). It’s only continued to expand throughout this year thanks to the release of its first movie spinoff (Hobbs & Shaw) and cartoon series (Fast & Furious: Spy Racers), and will unleash its ninth mainline entry in 2020....

FBI director James Comey – who had previously claimed that “the San Bernardino litigation isn’t about trying to set a precedent” – has now admitted that it would.
