SHIELD’s Awesome Twist Introduces a Villain Teased Back in Season 1
While there's no clear word as to whether or not Season 5 is meant to be the final season for Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, the show has certainly bent itself out of shape in order to circle everything back to the start - all the way to the storylines and arcs from Season 1.
Usually, that tends to spell out the end for most sagas but in SHIELD's case it may just be attention to detail designed to be appreciated by fans who've stuck with the show for five seasons.
Aside from a seasonal plot that's now worked its way to Bill Paxton's John Garrett, Deathlok, and the Centipede Project from the first season, SHIELD's latest episode, "Option Two," revealed the one, true "Destroyer of Worlds" - GRAVITON!
Everything Avengers: Infinity War Revealed About the Soul Stone
At long last, Avengers: Infinity War revealed the location of the final Infinity Stone, the orange Soul Stone. We’re going to break down how it was uncovered in the film and also explain what it can do based on what we know from the comics. For more on Infinity War, here's why Banner and Hulk had that relationship in this movie.
Warning: full spoilers ahead!
It turns out that Gamora was sent on a mission to find the Soul Stone for Thanos years ago. After finding out where it was hidden, she lied to Thanos, saying she never found it in order to prevent him from completing the Infinity Gauntlet and carrying out his plan to kill off half the life in the universe. But Gamora let slip to Nebula that she knew its location. Thanos was able to hack a captured Nebula’s electronic components to learn of Gamora’s treachery, and then he tortured Nebula in front of Gamora until she agreed to take him to the Soul Stone.
PC Gaming Has Never Better With the Latest CPUs for Gaming
Often considering the best processors for a high-end gaming PC comes after finding the best graphics cards. It’s hard to argue against this logic after all the GPU ultimately determines which quality settings and resolution you’ll be able to run your games at. However, your processor is arguably as important as it dictates how well the rest of your gaming PC runs.
The processor isn’t just known as the ‘central processing unit’ for kicks, it’s in charge of how quickly your whole computer operates from the system memory to the SSDs holding your games – which is why it’s all so important to pick the best gaming CPU for your rig. Unlike graphics cards you’ll likely be swapping in every other generation, the best gaming processors can last for years, so be sure you’re making the right choice you won’t regret in the long term.

How Effective Is Thanos as a Villain in Avengers: Infinity War?
Warning! Full SPOILERS follow for Avengers: Infinity War. Check out our SPOILER-FREE review right here.
It's no easy task to humanize a Mad Titan that wants to wipe out half of the universe's population with the snap of his fingers, but somehow, the writers of Avengers: Infinity War found a way to make Thanos compelling.
For a studio that's been known to produce less than stellar villains over the past 10 years, Marvel's track record is quickly improving with its last two theatrical releases. Black Panther's Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) and Thanos (Josh Brolin) are positive signs that Marvel is learning how to take their antagonists' character development seriously.

Explaining Bruce Banner’s Relationship with Hulk in Infinity War
Spoiler warning: This post contains major plot details for Avengers: Infinity War, so proceed with caution. For more on Infinity War, here's what happened to the Infinity Gauntlet at the end.
Apparently, even the Hulk has performance issues from time to time. After proving himself the undisputed champion of butt-kicking on Sakaar in Thor: Ragnarok (with a little help from the obedience disk embedded in Thor’s neck), Hulk gets a bit of an attitude adjustment in the opening act of Avengers: Infinity War after being soundly defeated in hand-to-hand combat by Thanos; the Mad Titan not only knocks Hulk unconscious, he also draws blood. Thor put up a good fight when he faced Hulk in the Grandmaster’s Contest of Champions (and certainly might’ve done plenty of damage to his “friend from work” with those lightning strikes if the Grandmaster hadn’t intervened), but this is a beating unlike anything the Hulk has faced before, and it’s clear that Thanos laying the smack down on him is enough to shake the Green Goliath’s confidence in a major way.
These Are the Highest-Grossing Domestic Movies of All Time
Avengers: Endgame is now only the second movie to ever cross $800 million at the domestic box office.
With $803.6 million grossed thus far, Endgame is behind another Disney release, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as the highest-grossing film of all time in North America. Endgame recently passed Avatar to become the second highest-grossing movie domestically.
With more would-be blockbusters like Hobbs & Shaw and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker on the way, 2019 is poised to be one of the most lucrative years ever for Hollywood.
Elder Scrolls Online’s Summerset Expansion Makes ESO Feel Fresh Again
If The Elder Scrolls Online’s previous expansion, Morrowind, could be summed up in a single word it’d be “nostalgia.” The island of Vvardenfell was realized in gorgeous HD for the first time, almost exactly 15 years after The Elder Scrolls III first launched.
Now with its latest expansion, Summerset, ESO is taking a decidedly different approach when it releases on May 21st for PC and June 5th for Xbox One and PS4 by letting players visit the beautiful region of the high elves, the Summerset Isles, for the first time – well, unless you count its brief appearance in 1994’s The Elder Scrolls: Arena. So if Morrowind was all about nostalgia, Summerset is all about breathing new life into the now four-year-old MMORPG.
