LinkedIn has added a new feature to its user profiles: the option to record 10-second audio clips to let others know how to pronounce your name.

The recordings can only be added via LinkedIn’s mobile apps on Android and iOS, but playback is accessible on both mobile and desktop. To add a recording, simply head to your profile on a mobile app, click View Profile, then Edit, and then “Record name pronunciation.” Step by step instructions can be found here.

The feature is a simple one (Facebook has offered a similar option with digital pronunciations for years) but extremely welcome on a networking site like LinkedIn. It’s designed to minimize awkward or unprofessional...

An external lens won’t completely fix your webcam woes, but it has its benefits

Recently, some of the most popular webcams have been difficult to buy at major online retailers as people bought them to help stay in contact while social distancing or working from home during the pandemic. For example, as of this writing, Logitech’s popular C920 HD Pro webcam is sold out on Logitech’s US online store, and its listed price on Amazon US is currently well above Logitech’s own $79.99 asking price. Other models are available, but the situation means you might not get the exact webcam you want.

That means people have had to get creative by using standalone cameras or even old iOS or Android devices as replacement webcams. But today, I’ve been trying out a different approach: using an aftermarket lens from Moment to improve...

Watch: Kit Harington Stars In Red Dead Redemption Movie Concept Trailer

The Red Dead Redemption series is among the best titles in the gaming industry, and it’d only be fair to assume that a lot of players over the years have wondered what a live-action adaptation could look like.

After spending countless hours on the story of John Marston, Rockstar Games returned in 2018 with the long-awaited prequel that took fans back and chronicled the life of Arthur Morgan. Red Dead Redemption 2 was not only critically acclaimed and hailed as one of the greatest video games of all time, but it also broke several records and became the second-biggest launch in the history of entertainment across all mediums, grossing $725 million in its opening weekend and surpassing its predecessor’s lifetime sales in just two weeks.

As such, a potential live-action adaptation is sure to generate a lot of buzz, and seeing as how masterpieces such as The Last of Us are getting their own, it’s not that big a stretch to assume that Take-Two will eventually follow suit. Rockstar Games even has a film subsidiary in their name and they already developed the short Red Dead Redemption: The Man From Blackwater to promote the first game.

Now, thanks to YouTuber Smasher, who compiled western footage from different movies to show us what a Red Dead Redemption film could look like, we don’t have to use our imagination anymore. And to top it off, they decided to cast Game of Thrones‘ Kit Harington as John Marston.

The shots in this concept trailer are mainly from the actor’s western movie Brimstone, and what makes this almost seem like a perfect choice is the fact that Harington actually resembles John, not to mention that he already has experience working within the gaming industry through playing the antagonist in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Of course, it’s worth mentioning that movie adaptations of video games don’t exactly have the best track record, but if Take-Two and Rockstar ever decide to develop a Red Dead Redemption film, we certainly know who we’d cast as the lead.

Joe Russo Offers Update On Extraction Sequel

Due to the pandemic, theaters have been shut down, resulting in movie studios delaying all of their money-making blockbusters to either later this year or next year. As a result, the number of big action flicks to watch in 2020 have been few and far between. Perhaps the best of them though is Extraction, which debuted on Netflix back in April.

Penned by Joe Russo, one half of the directing team behind the last two Avengers movies, and helmed by first-timer Sam Hargrave, the film follows Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth), a mercenary hired to escort the son of a drug kingpin who’s been taken hostage. Though it’s not the most original premise, Extraction was a pleasant surprise considering that Netflix hasn’t released many memorable action films.

The set pieces were expertly choreographed, with highlights including a 12-minute continuous shot where our hero fends off multiple bad guys while jumping from rooftops, driving dangerously down narrow streets and dodging gunfire. In fact, according to Hemsworth, the performance was the most difficult of his career, which is saying something considering he’s been playing Thor for nearly a decade.

The movie was a smash hit on the streaming service and a sequel was quickly greenlit. Russo is returning to write the screenplay and now, he’s provided an update on the script.

“I started writing the sequel (prequel?) three weeks ago. It’s a great character to write for, with a fantastic performance from Hemsworth. So it makes my job easier. I think the mission is to up the scale on this one, both emotionally and physically.”

Russo appears to catch himself when mentioning whether it’ll be a sequel or a prequel. The movie ends on a fairly ambiguous note, after all, with some uncertainty as to whether our hero lives or dies. I think it’s a safe bet, though, that despite the gunshot wound in his neck, Rake is still alive.

But there’s certainly plenty of room to go back before the events of Extraction and learn more about his past if that’s the direction they choose to go in. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Avengers: Endgame’s Final Battle Makes No Geographical Sense

The grand final battle of Avengers: Endgame marks the thrilling climax of the entire Infinity Saga, the first decade of the MCU. Seeing all the heroes of the franchise come together to take on Thanos and his forces was a moment that made Marvel fans whoop and cheer in the cinemas. And at home when they rewatched the scene again and again. The thing is, though, as amazing as this sequence is, much of it makes no geographical sense.

To be clear, this must’ve been an incredibly difficult scene to put together, what with so many characters to keep track of, and we know that the Russo brothers went through the scene countless times in order to tighten it and trim it down. In other words, any continuity errors that appear in the final battle are totally forgivable, but they sure are distracting and hard to ignore once you notice them.

The first major spatial error that occurs in the scene is the distance between Thanos and Cap after the Mad Titan breaks Steve’s shield. The villain does toss his foe back a few feet, but subsequent shots see the distance get further and further until the other heroes pour out of the portals and need to run for ages to even reach Thanos’ forces.

Once the big battle really kicks off, various characters then manage to cross large distances in impossibly short spaces of time. For instance, Cull Obsidian is killed by Drax in another place on the battlefield from where he just took a beating from Cap seconds previously.

As you’re probably already aware, the most noticeable continuity error in the battle is Ant-Man being in two places at once. Giant-Man is seen taking down a Leviathan… at the exact same time Scott is trying to hot-wire his van. What’s more overlooked, though, is that Wasp does the same thing. While Hope is in the van with Scott, she’s also teaming up with the heroines to assist Captain Marvel.

Many of these mistakes must’ve happened in the editing suite, as extra shots that would’ve clarified how characters moved around were removed and the order of events was shifted around, resulting in us seeing double with Ant-Man and the Wasp. Next time you watch Avengers: Endgame, why not make a game of it and try to see how many geographical mishaps you can spot in the sequence?
