This Town is Naming Streets After Game of Thrones Characters
The epic fantasy world of Game of Thrones is coming to a small town outside of Boise, Idaho in the form of street names, thanks to a local developer named Jannell Hall of B&A Engineers, Inc.
The new Silver Trail subdivision in Kuna, Idaho will have a pair of streets named after some well-known characters from the popular franchise written by George R.R. Martin. If you decide to purchase a piece of property in this lovely part of the country, you will have the option of living on Baratheon Ave. or Rickon St.
Hall talks about how she came up with the idea in a recent interview:
Sea of Thieves New Patch Aims to Fix Respawn ‘Griefing’
Sea of Thieves' patch 1.0.2 goes live today, and with it, Rare is looking to fix one of the biggest issues players are having in the shared-world pirate game – having to fend off an endless number of respawning enemy ships.
In a patch notes post on the Sea of Thieves forums, the developer has listed a number of fixes and changes being introduced in the patch, but first and foremost is the ship respawn distance.
"When a ship sinks, we have significantly increased the distance at which the crews new ship will respawn. Ships will now respawn outside of visible view of the ship that sank them. This is in response to lots of player feedback which highlighted that the previous spawn distance was resulting in "griefing" behaviour and stalemates at the forts!"

Bruce Wayne Uses Sex as a ‘Drug’ in Batman v Superman
Zack Snyder continues to share some deeper meanings about Batman v Superman, this time revealing that Bruce Wayne uses sex as a drug.
Snyder explained on Vero (via Batman-News), that sex helps Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) forget about his pain for a short time. In a scene from the film, Bruce Wayne wakes up from a nightmare with a woman in his bed. A painting by Robert Mapplethorpe can be seen hanging above his bed while Bruce Wayne takes some painkillers.

GoT: Gendry Actor Hints at Larger Role in Season 8
Gendry actor Joe Dempsie hints at a larger role for the Game of Thrones character in Season 8.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Dempsie teased that Gendry has "done well" for himself in the upcoming final eighth season of the show, but has also made sure to add that this doesn't necessarily mean Gendry will survive till the end of the story.
"I've done well out of it this year, for sure," Dempsie said. "As with all these things, we never shoot in chronological order – so you might have people coming in at the beginning and at the end, but it doesn't necessarily mean they make it all the way through!"

Spyro the Dragon Return Possibly Teased by Mysterious Package
Update #2: A new tweet from the Falcon McBob, which the official Crash Bandicoot account followed yesterday, could be offering yet another clue of Spyro's return, or a well-placed troll.
"Good times," @SpyrotheDragon has tweeted at the official Crash account, with a close-up photo of Crash's face, seemingly from a Bandicoot costume used in some of that character's live-action commercials.

Vive Pro Responds to Pricing Complaints with New Starter Bundle
Today the Vive team announced it would begin offering the Vive Pro Starter Kit tomorrow, April 5, which is also the two-year anniversary of the Vive’s launch.
The bundle will include the Vive Pro headset, two Vive 1.0 controllers, and two 1.0 base stations for a cost of $1,100. The controllers and base stations are required to use the Vive, and don’t come included with the Pro’s regular $800 price tag.
This Starter Kit comes as a direct response to complaints about the price of buying these accessories separately. As Dan Mentioned in his Vive Pro review, the cost of buying sensors and controllers on their own comes out to a total of $530 - that’s more expensive than buying the base Vive itself, which includes those things alongside a headset.
