Sea of Thieves’ Kraken Versus Megalodon Is a Pirate Nightmare
A Sea of Thieves player captured a once in a lifetime moment straight of a pirate nightmare.
Reddit user ClawofChaos was sailing with his crew when the unthinkable happened… his crew was attacked by the Megalodon AND the Kraken at the same time. While it’s not unusual to find yourself wrapped up in the slimy embrace of the Kraken, or hunted by the angry mega shark on the Sea of Thieves, the coordinated sea-monster Blitzkrieg is incredibly rare.
But it gets weirder. Turns out the two monsters don’t have much love for one another either. In the above clip, there’s an insane moment where the Megalodon moves in to ram the ship just as the Kraken slams its tentacle over the deck and… effectively punches the shark in the face.

Better Call Saul Will Include Scenes Set During Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul's upcoming new season will include scenes set during Breaking Bad.
Per EW, co-creator Vince Gilligan revealed Season 4 of the spinoff will feature a subplot which will bring Better Call Saul more closely to Walter White.
“We have a subplot that very squarely gets into Breaking Bad territory and brings us into the world — or at least points us on a path toward the world of Walter White and the territory of Walter White,” Gilligan said. “I can’t wait for folks to see that.”
However, Gilligan did not offer any further details about how these scenes might tie into Breaking Bad. Gilligan has said before he desperately wants to bring Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) into Better Call Saul somehow.

Pokemon Go Fest 2018 Proves Pokemon Go Is Alive and Well
2018 has been a good year for Pokemon Go so far.
While the overall player base is down compared to its massive launch, Niantic’s AR hit is still thriving two years later, with an estimated $1.8 billion in revenue and $70 million last month alone according to analysts.
This weekend, Niantic held its second annual Pokemon Go Fest in Chicago, overcoming last year’s connectivity issues and instead highlighting the game’s biggest strength: its community.
