The Xbox Series X is a console that has intrigued many gamers. While the Xbox Series X has impressive specifications, some players have questioned how the console will utilize its technology with its first-party games. Luckily, all will be revealed come Thursday, July 23 at 9am PT, as Microsoft has finally given a date for its Xbox Games Showcase. Xbox had previously set out monthly presentations for the upcoming console and its content but there have been serious setbacks....

About a month ago, Reddit user Macsterr posted his concept for a PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Xbox One ad. In Macsterr’s ad, we see an Xbox One S console with a field on top of it, and a PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds character moving through that field. Macsterr’s ad proved fairly popular on Reddit, and it’s possible Microsoft’s marketing team saw his concept, as it has released an ad that looks strikingly similar. Microsoft has posted a new ad for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds on Twitter, though there are some key differences between its ad and Macsterr’s work....

Despite the efforts of powerful competitors like Samsung, Research in Motion, and HP, the tablet computing market has long, perhaps always been dominated by Apple and their illustrious line of iPad devices. Microsoft, however, signaled their intent to change that dynamic when they announced their very own, Windows 8-running Surface tablets this June, and now we’re finally learning when we’ll get our hands on the aspiring PC killer. The firm filed its annual report to the SEC today, and the details within reveal that Surface will release on October 26 later this year, appropriately coinciding with the launch of Windows 8 (Microsoft ensures that their own hardware is the first to ship with the operating system built-in)....

Lovecraft Country showrunner Misha Green dives into how the show’s horrors go beyond the supernatural. “Like all horror that wants to leave you feeling unsettled and disturbed long after you’ve finished watching it, Lovecraft Country’s first episode is careful to take its time and make you wait almost until the very end for the series’ supernatural monstrosities to make themselves known.” Read more at Gizmodo.

Takeshi Shudo, the original head writer of the Pokemon anime, was granted the opportunity to create his own Legendary Pokemon in Lugia when he wrote the script for Pokemon: The Movie 2000: The Power of One. He loved Lugia, so much so that one of the changes the second movie gave to it made him want to die.

Veteran talents such as Kenneth Branagh, Joe Johnston, and Joss Whedon were all key parts of the MCU’s first phase....
