WARNING: Major spoilers for Days Gone. Days Gone’s story is quite thrilling, but its ending twist ruins all the character development that Deacon St. John built up. It’s a long path to redemption for Deacon (with six hours of cutscenes), set in the backdrop of the “zombie” apocalypse. Smartly, the setting of Deacon’s story provides the opportunity for rich character moments and difficult moralistic choices. But Sony Bend takes the easy way, opting to never force Deacon to truly grapple with the mistakes that he’s made....

Titans season 2 finally saw the official introduction of Bruce Wayne to the titular group’s world, but there are actually signs that things might not be what they seem and that Bruce Wayne might not be Bruce Wayne at all. The character of Batman loomed over Titans season 1 as little more than a specter, driving a lot of Dick Grayson’s motivations and informing the majority of his decisions. As Dick sought to forge his own identity out from beneath his former mentor’s considerable shadow, things came to a head in season 1’s makeshift finale....

Today’s Digitimes report that Apple will abandon a 5.8-inch OLED successor to the iPhone X this year is almost certainly nonsense. The site suggests that Apple will release only one OLED model this year, which would be the 6.5-inch one first suggested in a KGI report. This year’s 5.8-inch model would, claims Digitimes, be an LCD one … My colleague Benjamin reported it with appropriate skepticism. I’d say ‘really strange’ is, if anything, an understatement....

Following coming under a bit of heat for its report about the iPad running “significantly hotter than” iPad 2, Consumer Reports just published a review of the new Apple TV ahead of its full comprehensive testing. While the review could not help but praise the refreshed set-top box’s 1080p video support, Consumer Report’s “bottom line” is that the device is not worth the upgrade for second-generation Apple TV owners. It also claims the cheaper Roku and D-Link’s Boxee Box offer more content options:...

Good series are canceled all the time, and as Starz recently proved, that’s the case for its inter-dimensional spy series Counterpart. News that the series would be ending after season 2 came just ahead of the finale, leaving ‘Better Angles’ with the unenviable task of wrapping up the series’ main plot thread as much as possible, while also providing Howard and Howard Prime (J.K. Simmons) some sort of closure, as far as their respective fractured personal lives were concerned....

It’s a good day to be a fan of DC Comics’ universe-restarting Flashpoint event, because as challenging an enemy as Reverse-Flash turned out to be, it was an alternate universe hero Barry Allen was fighting for the series spotlight. Of course, that’s to be expected when you’re sharing cover space with an even darker and grimmer take on Batman (few would have thought that possible). And with the Flashpoint Batman’s existence being alluded to at the very start of DC’s “Rebirth,” fans had reason to hope the character could make some kind of appearance....

When Apple told Northwestern Uni student Jason Yuan they wanted to see more growth and training, he decided to work on this by redesigning the iOS Apple Music app. The project began with qualitative research – talking to users in depth about their approach to music and their experience of the app – and led to what proved to be a key insight …...

Here’s Trey Parker’s Despicable Me 3 villain Balthazar Bratt explained. The Despicable Me franchise began with the 2010 original, which followed Steve Carrell’s supervillain Felonious Gru, who comes to realize there’s more to life than evil schemes. The true breakout stars of the movie were Gru’s minions, which are small yellow creatures who speak in a language mostly comprised of gibberish.
