Signs Point to an Early Loss for the Avengers in Endgame
Given that Avengers: Endgame has a runtime of three hours and one minute, it’s easy to imagine the story would use that time to build up to an epic showdown with Thanos, but some new clues point to a much earlier rematch with ol’ Grimace… and a big loss for our heroes.
Establishing a Timeline
It’s tough to tell when anything takes place in any of the Endgame trailers, but one big clue comes from Black Widow’s hair. We see three distinct styles: her short, blonde Infinity War cut; a mid-length ponytail; and a long-haired red look with blonde tips. For her hair to grow that much, several months need to have passed (at least), which implies Endgame has a couple time jumps.
The Division 2 Easter Egg May Tease a Vikings Assassin’s Creed
Posters found in The Division 2 hint that the next Assassin’s Creed game may revolve around vikings.
Per Kotaku (via Assassin’s Creed Wiki user AlifMorrisonudin), the posters can be found in the game’s Potomac Event Center, and they feature what appears to be a Norse god or viking with the word “Valhalla” written above, holding a staff and an odd orb. Upon closer inspection, the orb is actually an Apple of Eden - important items within the Assassin’s Creed universe that have appeared throughout history, and have been capable of projecting images, mind-control and more.
The 4 Best New Anime of Winter 2019
Every season dozens of new and returning anime hit streaming services. If you're looking to catch up on the best anime 2019 has to offer, look no further. This particular list of recommendations features anime that require no prerequisites, meaning you'll only see brand new anime featured.
Don't worry, though, we do have a quick recommendation list for returning anime with each season where we can celebrate great anime like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or Mob Psycho 100. The continuing series list also includes great anime that started airing in the previous season, like Run with the Wind. This article will be updated again at the end of the Spring 2019 season. Until then, here are the IGN Staff’s recommendations for new anime from the Winter 2019 season.
Borderlands 3 Won’t Have Co-op Players Fighting Over Loot
We still don’t know a ton of hard details about Borderlands 3, but one new piece of info that came alongside its release date reveal was a pretty significant change to the way loot drops while playing co-op.
In Borderlands 3, every player will have their own loot drops that only they can see, a post on the PlayStation blog revealed. Traditionally, everyone can see all the loot in Borderlands, meaning other players could nab a tasty looking gun from you before you had the chance to pick it up, but that will be a thing of the past.
The Best Mesh Wi-Fi Will Make Your Internet Fast Everywhere
Some homes are just too big for one router. If you can’t get a signal to the furthest reaches of your house, condo or apartment, you should consider a mesh Wi-Fi system, which blankets your house in one giant, easy-to-manage network. Traditionally, Wi-Fi range extenders have been the easiest way to broaden coverage across your home, but the quality of range extenders can vary wildly.
Wi-Fi Mesh Systems are a much better solution as they utilize several nodes to repeat and extend the range of your network. Since Wi-Fi Mesh Systems are designed to work this way from the get-go, they're far easier to set up, can be managed from one user-friendly interface, and can often provide better performance than multiple range extenders. There are a ton of mesh kits out there, but these are the few that stand out from the pack.
