Once Upon a Time: What to Expect in the Season 6 Finale
Full spoilers for Once Upon a Time continue below.
Once Upon a Time's delightful musical episode might have offered Emma and Hook their happy beginning, but it's the Final Battle showdown with the Black Fairy that looks to have the biggest impact on the ABC series moving forward.
While Once awaits its potential Season 7 pickup (and things are looking likely), OUAT is going to be a very different show if it does come back for another year. Below, find out how showrunners Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are planning to mix things up if this is a season finale, and what you can expect if it ends up being a series finale.
Micro Machines World Series: Racing Royalty Resurrected
Kevin McCallister had way more Micro Machines than I did. I was only seven years old when I first saw Home Alone so that was obviously my primary concern at the time.
One of the slightly less deadly booby traps for the hapless Harry and Marv, Kevin’s collection covered the whole floor. He had more than I could count! I had about 12, plus an oil can that turned into a mechanic’s garage that I got for not dying while I had my tonsils removed.
But despite a supreme slice of product placement in what would become 1990’s highest-grossing film worldwide, 1990 was actually a disaster for the home of Micro Machines: US toy manufacturer Galoob. The recession of the early ’90s had kicked the company right in the crotch.
How Shadowverse Became a Major Player in the CCG Genre
When I first heard about Shadowverse last year, I had no expectations whatsoever. My initial reaction was to assume that it was simply the latest in the stream of digital CCGs that were springing up in the wake of Hearthstone’s incredible success. I didn’t know anything of the story behind the game, and while I’d come across developer Cygames’ work in a tangential sense (mostly at TGS), I didn’t even know the studio by name.
It soon became clear that Shadowverse was worth paying attention to, however. Hopping in revealed a pretty unique experience – each class had a very clear identity (often driven by bespoke mechanics), the core gameplay incorporated the ability to “evolve” cards, and the card design gave combo and control archetypes plenty of viable tools to use.
Netflix Renews 13 Reasons Why for Season 2

Prey Exploit Allows Players to Create Unlimited Resources
A glitch that allows players to create unlimited resources has been discovered in Prey.
As reported by Polygon, the exploit (demonstrated by YouTube user Random Chievo's) can be used about an hour into the game. Once you have access to Morgan Yu's office, you'll be able to use the game's first Material Recycler, which breaks down loot into resources that can be used to craft various items.
If you fill up the Material Recycler with Material that has already been recycled and divide it up into at least four piles, when you activate the Recycler, the machine will yield twice as much Material. Polygon has confirmed the exploit works on both the PC and PS4 versions of the game.
