Despite all my rage, I'm still just a storage.

The nostalgia levels are off the charts with this one.

Matt Smith

The last scene in the #HouseOfTheDragon finale was essentially created by Matt Smith.

“it was Matt Smith, in a turn of fucking genius, who offered the idea that Daemon should give Rhaenyra the news while we're both walking away from camera, towards the fireplace.” pic.twitter.com/Tz9hK4AtPc

House of the Dragon was amazing and if you haven't checked it out, I definitely recommend it.

Epic Games' dead MOBA Paragon is being brought back by another studio

Epic Games has granted South Korean studio Netmarble permission to use all of its former Paragon assets including its name in the development of a new title, Paragon: The Overprime. The game is described as a "free team-based TPS Action MOBA" that'll operate as a live service game. For more on Paragon: The Overprime, check out the game's listing on the Epic Games Store. 

Movie clips

Wanted to share a few clips that I like starting with Orlando Jones as an AI that remembers everything from the 2002 adaptation of The Time Machine. The film is one of my all-time faves, I highly recommend it especially if you like a good sci-fi adventure.

Langoliers

This remains one of the most unintentionally hilarious (and bizarre) King adaptations I've seen next to the likes of Maximum Overdrive. The film and its bad CGI meatball monsters never fail to make me laugh.

... this goes to 11

The entire scene is pure 11 out of 10 comedy gold.
