Longmire: Let’s Discuss How Season 5 Ended
If you've already binged all 10 episodes of Longmire: Season 5 on Netflix, here are my thoughts on how everything wrapped up. If you haven't watched the fifth season, or made it all the way to the end yet, this is your spoiler warning.
For the non-spoiler review of Season 5, head here.
If fans of Longmire were to look ahead at what could be considered the end of the series, as a whole, a big part of it would have to include Walt and Vic finally becoming a couple and realizing their mutual feelings for one another. That doesn't mean this will happen, but the series has now made Vic's torch for her boss such a substantial issue that it seems unavoidable. There's always room to defy expectations though, right?

Daredevil’s D’Onofrio on When Kingpin Might Return
During our recent chat with Vincent D'Onofrio about his new film, The Magnificent Seven, we asked the actor about if and when we might see his bad guy Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk again on Marvel's Netflix series. Here's what he had to say about that ...
IGN: We recently talked to Chris Pratt and he really was singing your praises big time. Considering you're both also part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, mind you, very distant corners of each other, is there any chance we can ever see Wilson Fisk and Peter Quill cross paths in any way, shape, or form? Or is that just too pie in the sky?
See IGN’s New VR Channel
This week, IGN launched a brand-new VR channel dedicated to covering all the latest news in the world of virtual and augmented reality. We’ve been watching the development of the VR platforms with more than just passing interest over the last couple of years, and you’ve shown that you’re interested in those stories as well.

From helping you select which VR platform is right for you to showing off how scary it is to play a horror game in VR, we want to give you the information you need to make sense of this new medium. We also want to use some of the newer VR-friendly platforms to give you 360 degree views of the IGN offices where you get to decide where the camera is pointed. We’ll be covering breaking news relevant to the VR space, and providing reviews of the games and experiences available across all of those platforms.

What Ico Did That No Game Has Done Since
In the 15 years since Ico was released on the PlayStation 2, video games have evolved in remarkable ways. The HD-era has ushered in photo-realistic visuals, ubiquitous online play has connected people worldwide from all walks of life and the rise of indies has given a voice and a platform to even the smallest of teams. But in the countless games that have come out in the past decade and a half, somehow none have managed to replicate the simple power of one of Ico’s basic mechanics -- the act of holding on to someone else’s hand.
There’s so much about Ico that’s stuck with me since I first played the game in 2001 -- its gorgeous aesthetic, subtle and silent storytelling, and its melancholy ending. But if I’m being perfectly honest, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Fumito Ueda’s classic is the subtle intimacy between Ico and Yorda that comes across via holding on to the princess’ hand during quiet moments, and the darkest of situations, which is something that I can safely say all of us have experienced at some point throughout our lives.
Pluto Might Have a 100km Ocean Beneath Its Surface
After NASA's New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto last year, it started sending data back to Earth, and thermal models have suggested there's an ocean beneath the planet's icy surface.
Brandon Johnson from Brown University's Department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences, said, "Thermal models of Pluto's interior and tectonic evidence found on the surface suggest that an ocean may exist, but it's not easy to infer its size or anything else about it."

Zorn Is a Terrible Employee
Lesson number 1: if you hire an animated barbarian with no work experience for an office job, there's probably going to be a steep learning curve.
That's what Linda (Artemis Pebdani) finds out in this exclusive clip from Sunday's episode of Son of Zorn. She got him wearing a shirt and tie instead of just a loin cloth, but can she get him to make any sales?
As we said in our review of Son of Zorn's pilot, the series got off to a promising start with a fun blend of animated absurdity and family sitcom humor. The second episode sees Zorn trying to give his son Alangulon relationship advice while his ex-wife Edie gives him an ultimatum.
Fruit Ninja: New Line Makes Deal for Movie Adaptation
New Line Cinema has secured the film rights to Haflbrick Studios' popular mobile franchise Fruit Ninja.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, producer Tripp Vinson of Vinson Films is once again reuniting with New Line for the project, which tells the story of a group of misfits who become Fruit Ninjas in hopes of saving the world. Vinson and New Line have worked together on several films in the past, including the 2015 drama San Andreas.
News of the project surfaced earlier this year, confirming that J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani, the writing pair behind the film adaptation of How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack, are penning the script. Additionally, the project was at the time described as a live-action family comedy that "centers on ninjas with an inexplicable vendetta against produce."
