Which Is the Best Episode of Game of Thrones?
HBO's Game of Thrones is now in the realm's rear view, but it'll be a little while longer before it clears our hearts and minds, what with recent documentary "The Last Watch" revealing so many cool facts about the large-scale production.
Still, it's the perfect time to drink, know things, and look back at the show's 73 episodes for a trial by combat that'll weed out the Top 25 of the bunch. The real question now is: Given how polarizing Season 8 was for die hard fans, did any episodes from this final run crack the list? You'll have to find out!

Bond 25: Wonder Woman Actor Saïd Taghmaoui Says He’d Been Cast as the Villain
Saïd Taghmaoui, a French-American actor of Moroccan descent known for his recent role in Wonder Woman as Sameer, says he’s been cast as the main villain in the upcoming James Bond film - or at least he had been, before Danny Boyle left the project. Now the casting is in question.
As reported by Variety, Taghmaoui told The National (an Abu Dhabi newspaper) that he had definitely gotten the role under Danny Boyle’s watch, but now the producers don’t know which nationality they want the villain to be.
“We don’t know who the director will be, and the producers don’t know if they’re going to go Russian or Middle East with the baddie right now,” Taghmaoui said. “I literally just received a message saying: ‘If they go Middle East, it’s you. If they go Russian, it’s someone else.’”
EA Reportedly Under Criminal Investigation in Belgium For FIFA Loot Boxes
Electronic Arts has refused to comply with the Belgian government's gambling laws that were put in place earlier this year, which declared loot boxes in certain video games illegal. Due to this, the Belgian government has reportedly launched a criminal investigation into EA, according to Eurogamer.
First reported by the Dutch publication Metro, the game EA was told needed to be modified to reach the new standards of the law, is FIFA 18 – as it is not transparent what items players will receive in the Ultimate Team Packs or loot boxes.
The Gifted Season 2 Sneak Peek Teases Morlocks, Purifiers and a Magneto Connection
The Gifted ended its freshman season with our heroes on the brink of civil war, as Polaris (Emma Dumont) and Andy (Percy Hynes White) chose to join the Hellfire Club's Inner Circle along with the Frost sisters (Skyler Samuels), abandoning their loved ones in the Mutant Underground for a more proactive (i.e. aggressive) stance against the humans who have been oppressing them.
Season 2 picks up six months after the events of the finale, with Polaris now on the verge of giving birth and anti-mutant sentiment at an all-time high following her destruction of Senator Montez's plane. In IGN's exclusive sneak peek promo and key art from the new season, the divisions are obvious, with the promo promising that every character will be forced to pick a side in the upcoming conflict.
Fortnite Removes Controversial Drum Gun Among 5.4 Content Update Patch Notes
The Fortnite 5.4 Content Update has removed the controversial Drum Gun with no warning or notice when the patch went live this morning.
For weeks, Fortnite players have debated the Drum Gun's superb usefulness in a variety of different situations and what lengths Epic should go to balance the weapon. It features a quick and easy spray technique with a fast rate of fire that can mow down nearby enemies and even those at longer ranges. It can also rip through enemy buildings putting other assault rifles to shame and making the Minigun and Light Machine Gun obsolete.
While recent nerfs brought the Drum Gun’s accuracy and falloff damage down a bit, the weapon continued to spark debate among the community.
