Books
1. Fantasy Book Cafe reviews “Nimona” by Noelle Stevenson
This sounds awesome, don’t you think?
2. Top 10 Best Fantasy Books and Series of All Time (According to Best Fantasy Books HQ)
I can’t say I agree with this entire list, but it’s still a great list. Tolkien and Terry Brooks aren’t on it, how can it be accurate? At least Jordan and Sanderson are on there.
Movies/Shows
3. The 13th Doctor has been announced!
Exciting times for those who love wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.
4. “Stargate” returns with a new prequel series
To be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about this one. I’ve always had mixed feelings when it comes to prequels. I guess it will just depend on how well it’s done. Nevertheless, this is exciting news for Stargate fans!
Video Games
5. Top 10 Badass Lines in Video Games
Okay, the teabag line is super lame in my opinion. But “Not even death can save you from me”?That line still gives me chills.
6. Blizzard Announces “StarCraft: Remastered”
Usually a company announcing that they’re updating graphics and matchmaking for a relaunch of a decades old title is far from exciting news. But this is StarCraft! As much as I love StarCraft 2, playing the original with modern matchmaking mechanics will be an amazing treat, plus getting the experience the story all over again with a heightened experience. Awesome!

7. Andy Serkis reveals the great secret to motion capture acting
That’s why he’s the master at this stuff.
8. Stephen Hawking theorizes that black holes might be portals to alternate universes
Not to brag, but I’ve been saying this junior high.
