Captain Marvel Super Bowl Teaser Images
"Higher, further, faster, baby."
We're only about a month out from Captain Marvel and we're still getting hit with new, awesome scenes - this time during the Super Bowl.
The movie's bodacious Big Game spot just aired and, since it moved a bit quicker than the Avengers: Endgame Big Game teaser, we've slowed it down and broken it up into screengrabs for you to savor.
More of an overview, the teaser focused on action, from Carol Danvers' life in the Air Force (and a dogfight with a Skull or Kree craft) to her training with Yon-Rogg, to an "escaped certain death" victory cheer with Nick Fury. Check 'em out!

"Some people move on. But not us."
A 30 second spot for Avengers: Endgame, featuring a ton of a new footage, just aired during the Super Bowl.
A somber look at the world post-Snap, this teaser really leans into the despair and decay of a world left with only half its population. Cities and harbors in disarray. The remaining Avengers dealing with trauma and regret. But the message is clear. While the rest of the world tries to heal and move forward within their new harrowing reality, the remnants of Earth's Mightiest Heroes are determined to fight on and, somehow, fix all that went wrong.
Here are some screenshots from the teaser, from Support Group Steve Rogers to a re-assembled team.

Outward’s Open-World RPG Makes You A Nobody…and Treats You Like It
In the two hours I spent playing Outward, an upcoming open-world RPG from developer Ninedots, I got the feeling that this was the kind of fantasy game made just for me. It’s not outwardly accessible -- no pun intended -- but that cryptic charm is something that I tend to really appreciate about the games I want to really dive into. In addition, Outward is completely playable with a friend, in online or local cooperative multiplayer.
There are a number of things I like about Outward, mostly because I’m a huge fantasy nerd and love games that make you work for it, and that marriage is immediately evident in the opening hours. The premise of Outward is thus: rather than being The Chosen One, or The Inquisitor, or The Dovahkiin, you’re just a normal schlub.

Kit Harington “Can’t Say” Whether He’s Happy or Not With Game of Thrones Ending
Kit Harington told Rose Leslie the ending to Game of Thrones, at her request, and she wouldn't talk to him for several days.
Jon Snow may know nothing but, according to Entertainment Weekly, Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington knows everything about how the show ends, and he told his wife (and former co-star) Rose Leslie all about it.
In an interview on a U.K. morning radio show, Harington said, "I told my wife last year how it ended, and she wouldn't talk to me for about three days. And she'd asked!"
As for his own feelings about the ending, Harington said, "I can't really answer whether I'm happy or not. I don't think it's about happy or sad, really. I'm satisfied with what they did, but I don't know whether I'll be really satisfied until I see it."
