Game of Thrones Season 5: The Sight: Brienne and Podrick (HBO)
Fans of HBO’s Game of Thrones still have just over a month until the fifth season premieres, but the network is offering a glimpse of what’s to come with a pair of clips from the upcoming batch of new episodes.

The two clips were released via “The Sight,” HBO’s promotional campaign that draws its title from the prophetic ability displayed by some characters in George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels. The first clip features Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) discussing her views on leadership with Podrick Payne (Daniel Portman), while the second clip lets fans eavesdrop on a conversation between Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds).

The fifth season of Game of Thrones is expected to draw heavily from the fourth and fifth novels of Martin’s series, “A Feast for Crows” and “A Dance With Dragons,” with series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss returning as executive producers of the hit series and as showrunners for the program. A host of new cast members have already been announced for the fifth season, including Alexander Siddig, Jonathan Pryce, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

The new season of Game of Thrones will premiere April 12 at 9pm on HBO. Can’t wait until then? If you’re jonesing for more details, here’s an insider’s guide to the next season, from Theon Greyjoy himself.

7 most underrated Game of Thrones episodes ever
A woman stands across from a man in Game of Thrones.

Can you believe it's been four years since Game of Thrones concluded its legendary run? While we won't speak about the final season, Game of Thrones remains one of television's most successful shows, with a record 59 Primetime Emmy Awards. Game of Thrones was a "can't-miss" television show, meaning the audience had to tune into the live airing of an episode or risk seeing spoilers on the internet. In the social media age of television, it's rare for a show to have as much power and influence on pop culture as it did.

A select group is unequivocally regarded as the best episodes of Game of Thrones, including Blackwater, Hardhome, The Rains of Castamere (more commonly known as The Red Wedding episode), and The Winds of Winter. For this list, however, we selected the seven most underrated Game of Thrones episodes ever.

A few of the astronauts from Among Us and Freddy Fazbear from Five Nights At Frddy's.

After decades of being mocked over their source material, video game movies are having a monster 2023 at the box office. With $574.9 million at the box office, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is second among all films domestically this year, behind only Barbie's $635.9 million. More surprisingly, Five Nights At Freddy's has proven that even indie video games can become blockbuster movies, with $113.6 million in earnings since being released on October 27.

When this kind of success happens, Hollywood studios are quick to line up anything that they feel will be the next one to break out. So what's the next Five Nights At Freddy's? Our pick is Among Us, Innersloth's unexpected gaming franchise. And now, we'll share three reasons why Among Us could be the next video game movie sensation.

You can find Nvidia's RTX 40-series graphics cards in some of the best gaming laptops, but the downside is that they're all expensive, if not overpriced. Previously, that meant you'd be forced to choose between getting something affordable or getting access to Nvidia's GPU cheat code -- DLSS 3. Now, there's finally some hope on the horizon, as Acer is launching a budget-friendly laptop that can still run modern games. We're talking about the Acer Nitro V 15.

The new laptop will be available in a few different configurations, each equipped with Intel's latest 13th-Gen CPUs, including either Core i5 or Core i7 models. All of them also come with a 15.6-inch 144Hz display. While every configuration also features a Nvidia graphics card, not all of those GPUs are equally thrilling. The cheapest model, priced at $700, features a Core i5-13420H CPU and an RTX 2050 GPU. This comes paired with just 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.
