Four theories about Julian Assange’s cat

Thursday’s arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has provoked complicated reactions. There’s one place, however, where everyone seems to agree: we really hope his cat is doing okay.
“Embassy Cat,” as the feline is known on Twitter and Instagram, is undoubtedly a PR play from WikiLeaks. According to one New Yorker profile, Assange made up a story about getting the cat from his children, and the organization sells an array of Embassy Cat mugs, shirts, and stickers. But the fact remains that Embassy Cat is adorable (it wears little ties!), and several Verge reporters are deeply invested in its well-being.
Unfortunately, a bevy of major news outlets have been unable to confirm that cat’s precise location, and multiple, credible sources...

Motorola came up with the best Android gestures: here’s how to use them

Google’s transition away from Android’s traditional three-button navigation toward the switch to gestures on the Pixel 3 was a little rough. Google seems to be figuring things out and improving the Pixel’s gestures for Android Q, but other companies have already come up with better approaches. Motorola has probably nailed it the best so far.
The “one-button navigation” introduced with the Moto Z3 Play is also available on many of the company’s phones released since, including the new Moto G7, G7 Power, and G7 Play. You might not think there’s a good reason to make the move to gestures; it doesn’t necessarily add to the experience of using your device or make anything easier. But at least in Motorola’s case, it makes sense, is easy to...

Watch the first real gameplay trailer for Star Wars: Vader Immortal

Lucasfilm’s ILMxLAB showed off a new trailer for Star Wars: Vader Immortal at Star Wars Celebration, giving the first real look at the gameplay and story for the long-awaited VR experience that the company is working on together with Oculus.
Officially titled Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series — Episode I, the VR title will be the first of three episodes telling a new story written by David S. Goyer (centered around Darth Vader, of course). Players will take on the role of a smuggler pulled out of hyperspace near Mustafar, where they come in conflict with the Dark Lord of the Sith himself. And while the details of that conflict aren’t quite clear yet, it seems that players will be able to wield a lightsaber, and possibly even duel...

HQ Trivia’s most recognizable host Scott Rogowsky leaves the company

HQ Trivia host Scott Rogowsky said today that he’s giving up the gig to focus on hosting sports streaming service DAZN’s baseball show ChangeUp. TMZ first reported the departure and attributed it to a disagreement between HQ and Rogowsky over his desire to host both HQ and ChangeUp. He reportedly wanted to host HQ only on the weekends, but HQ wanted a full-time commitment.
HQ CEO Rus Yusupov confirmed to TechCrunch that Rogowsky is leaving the show, but he added that the company ran a survey of its top players who voiced that guest host Matt Richards was their favorite, which seems irrelevant to Rogowsky’s disagreement and mostly just a dig at the former host for wanting a different job. Yusupov also said the show plans to bring in more...

Game of Thrones: the final season

It’s been a long, dark road to the end of Game of Thrones.
The book series that author George R.R. Martin calls A Song of Ice and Fire launched in 1992, and HBO’s screen adaptation, which began in 2011, has since become an international phenomenon. For seven seasons now, the story of the divided, war-torn country Westeros and the people vying to rule it has brought people together for viewing parties, character analysis, and passionate debate about everything from Jon Snow’s parentage to who will eventually claim control of the Iron Throne.
Season 8, the final arc of the story, begins on April 14th, 2019. What was once a sprawling, complicated story with dozens of separate threads has boiled down to a few major conflicts. In the North,...

All the updates for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

The Rise of Skywalker is the last of the Star Wars “saga” films that include the original, prequel, and latest sequel trilogies. It’s also the last Star Wars film in the works at the moment. With the success of 2015’s The Force Awakens, Disney CEO Bob Iger said Lucasfilm is planning for the next “decade and a half” of Star Wars films. But following the rough productions of the two standalone “Star Wars Story” films, Solo and Rogue One (and Solo’s comparatively shaky take at the box office), he walked that back, saying fans should expect a slowdown in the pace. Lucasfilm has since canceled a nascent standalone film that was reportedly about Boba Fett.
But Rise of Skywalker won’t be the last we see of the franchise: Disney is prepping two...

Oculus says ‘tens of thousands’ of its new controllers include secret messages

If you’re an early buyer of the Oculus Quest or Oculus Rift S headset, you may get a hidden message in your motion controllers. Oculus executive Nate Mitchell tweeted today that the phrases “This Space For Rent” and “The Masons Were Here” had been printed on components for “tens of thousands” of Touch controllers. The Easter eggs were only supposed to appear on prototypes, but Mitchell says they “accidentally made it onto the internal hardware for tens of thousands of Touch controllers.”
“While I appreciate Easter eggs, these were inappropriate and should have been removed. The integrity and functionality of the hardware were not compromised, and we’ve fixed our process so this won’t happen again,” Mitchell tweeted. He added that a small...

Breaking down all the key moments of the first Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker trailer

The first trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (the newly announced, official title for Episode IX, the upcoming conclusion of the Star Wars Skywalker saga) is here, and Lucasfilm has given fans a surprising amount of footage to dissect.
There are virtually no details on Episode IX’s actual plot or story in the trailer, just a lot of disconnected scenes, but there are still plenty of hints about what to expect from The Rise of Skywalker. We’ve broken down all the key moments of the trailer below, along with our best guesses at what it all means.
The trailer opens with a shot of Rey on an unknown desert planet. (Jakku? Tatooine? Geonosis? Somewhere new?) “We’ve passed on all we know,” Luke Skywalker intones in a voiceover. “A...

Chris Hemsworth Doesn’t Know If Thor Survives Avengers: Endgame
Thor might be one of the longest-running heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the God of Thunder was a bit of a late bloomer compared to guys like Captain America and Iron Man. After all, it really wasn’t until 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok that Chris Hemsworth’s fan favorite started living up to his potential as a solid lead. But with Avengers: Endgame just a few weeks away from release now, folks are beginning to worry that Thor’s on the verge of dropping out of the franchise.
Then again, with Marvel staying characteristically tight-lipped on the future of the MCU, it’s not impossible that the character will hang around for another phase. If you ask Hemsworth himself, though, the actor has no idea what awaits him. In fact, he doesn’t even know if he’ll live or die in Endgame.
Appearing on Ellen to promote the film, he admitted that he doesn’t know how the Infinity War sequel ends, saying:
“It’s funny, I feel like a fan of this whole thing as much as anyone else, and I’m interested to see if I live or die or what happens to me [laughs]. I have a rough idea of what happens, but no, I have not seen the film and I really do not know how it ends.”

Of course, the actor is probably just playing coy here. We imagine that he knows, at the very least, if he lives or dies. Then again, maybe not. Given how secretive Marvel’s been with Endgame, it’s entirely possible that Hemsworth is speaking the truth. Either way, though, we’re hopeful that Thor can at least get his revenge on Thanos before he leaves and succeed where he previously failed.
Not only that, but after the quick exchange between Hemsworth’s character and Captain Marvel in the recent trailer, some fans are now shipping the pair. Whether any sparks will end up flying between them, we can’t yet say, but we’ll find out what Marvel’s got planned for Thor and his friends when Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26th.

J.J. Abrams Teases New Force Abilities For Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker
The Last Jedi shocked fans by introducing some new tools into the Jedi’s arsenal as it saw Leia, Luke and Rey utilize Force powers that’d never been depicted before in the saga. There was Luke’s Force projection, Leia’s float through space…even Yoda’s lightning bolt. Some were rubbed up the wrong way by this “breaking of the rules” but the franchise has got to keep developing its mythology, and it seems Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will do much the same.
At the Episode IX panel at today’s Star Wars Celebration in Chicago, host Stephen Colbert pressed star Daisy Ridley on whether she got to show off any new cool Force abilities in Rise. The star nervously laughed off the question and wisely decided to pass the buck to director J.J. Abrams instead, saying “I think this is a J.J. question.”
Abrams then joked that this treachery had broken their friendship, quipping: “I used to love Daisy. I thought she was awesome.” After a moment to compose an answer, the director decided to praise the incredible stunt work on display in the movie:
“I’ll say this, there are some extraordinary things that the character, and Daisy did, but I will say some of the stuff that was possible was [thanks to] the stunt coordinator [Eunice Huthart]…who was just amazing.”
After discussing this for a while, Abrams did then work his way back around to the question and ended with a definite tease: “Anyways, yes, there are some other things, and you’ll see them soon.”
And we did. The first trailer, revealed at the end of the panel, opens with Rey pulling off an amazing Force leap, as she flips in the air and lands on a TIE fighter that’s coming for her. Sure, so this ability isn’t a totally new one, but it was one of the most impressive instances of it we’ve seen. Going by Abrams’ comments about stunts, it seems now that Rey’s been trained by Luke she’s much more in command of the Force and will be making a lot of moves like this in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
