Not everyone has the time to watch the entire coverage of everything being showcased at E3, so here’s a list of the biggest and best titles you should look forward to this week.

1) The Last Guardian

The ever classic shadow of colossus after so long finally gets its sequel bringing an end to the trilogy. Keeping information under wraps and by delaying the release date, Sony opens their show by bringing out the big guns by showing in game footage of The Last Guardian. All aboard the hype train.

2) Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Sony keeps their fans gripped to their seats by revealing game play footage and mechanics of Uncharted 4. Being an ace in Sony exclusives, this game needs to reach the expectations and for doing so it has been delayed to 2016. We shall hear more about it this week.

3) No Man’s Sky

With a few teasers given here and there and the release date kept hidden, No Man’s Sky is definitely one of the most awaited games this year. The biggest sandbox game of all time, No Man’s Sky steals the show at E3. Watching its coverage is a must for every game lover.

4) Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

The ultimate fusion of stealth, RPG, hack & slash and exploration finally hits the next gen consoles. Its prequel is ranked among the best action game and the fans cannot wait to find out what the 3rd installment has to offer. The trailer released earlier this week had us more than hooked.

5) Halo 5: Guardians

Microsoft won’t just let Sony steal the show. Xbox’s exclusive trump card Halo comes out with their 5th installment Halo 5 which already has immense competition. However, to make the cut, Halo 5 has to be top notch. Watching its coverage should be worth your while.

6) Need for Speed

For all those gamers whose inner racer is just waiting to go all out. Rejoice! The NFS reboot provides a hella lot more features and for the first time it has a convincing story mode with different paths. But in the end it’s all about racing and to know more about that we’ll just have to wait and watch.

7) Metal Gear Solid 5

As the grand finale to glorious metal gear solid series, Konami will present nothing less than a solid 10/10 to its fans. Even those who aren’t big fans of the series should watch its coverage because every metal gear trailer is like a mini movie. Truly inspiring.

8) Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate

An E3 without an assassin creed title just wouldn’t be an E3. Presenting the new add on in the series, Syndicate is absolutely unique by providing two protagonists and attracting a larger crowd by introducing its first playable female assassin. Its coverage is expected to have the highest audience by far.

9) DOOM

In this E3 , one of the biggest reboot titles definitely has to be DOOM. The classic game gets revamped in such an intense way that just a sneak peek at the game makes you wanna buy it. Looking forward to this one.

10) Fallout 4

Saving the best for the last, Fallout 4 gets all the hype and sweeps the crowd. With a vast array of new features and the freedom to customise your character and the world around you, Fallout 4 is living up to its title. If you have to save money to buy a game, this is it.

Have you met Kristen Stewart’s new GIRLFRIEND?

It’s been a long time since Kristen Stewart came into the spotlight especially since her split from long-term love Robert Pattison, two years ago. After keeping low-key for a pretty long time Kristen Stewart’s personal life has flared back up and she has finally moved on. The Twilight actress is known for keeping her love life private since her fling with director Rupert Sanders, for obvious reasons. Breaking the ice with the media, her mother Jules Stewart has confirmed that her daughter is a bisexual and is dating her personal assistant Alicia Cargile, shocked? So were we!

Her relationship with her assistant is out in the open now. It seems to us that the couple loves to dress alike and can’t seem to get their hands off each other. Both of them have been spotted at various places holding hands and canoodling (PDA alert!) at multiple occasions. They have even got matching tattoos of arrows pointing in the same direction on their right arm, isn’t that cute?

Rumour also has it that they are engaged. Take a look.

Game of Thrones season 5 finale: Et tu, Brute?

There wasn’t a single moment that didn’t lack grief in the last instalment of Game of Thrones season 5. And the best moment according to the makers of the show which was also the worst moment for the viewers, was obviously saved for the end. Some surprises, mostly shocks and a lot of sorrow are the ingredients of the last episode. Here is a list of the key moments. Spoilers included, goes without saying!

1) Too little too late – Stannis Baratheon

Setting his own daughter on fire in front of everyone in the name of the King’s blood did not do anything for Stannis Baratheon. Not only did half his army leave him overnight, his wife hung herself by a tree out of guilt and a conscience which wasn’t really helpful anymore. Stannis then heads to the Bolton’s only to realise that they are prepared for an open blood bath. And, needless to say, he loses the battle. In other news, Lady Melisandre anticipating the situation of Stannis’ army heads to Castle Black like a coward. On meeting Jon Snow, she says nothing (no mention of what she did to Princess Shireen too) and walks inside with a grieving face. Revenge finally sets in when Lady Brienne of Tarth kills Stannis Baratheon avenging the death of Renly Baratheon (because she used to serve him then).

2) Meet Arya Stark face to face

Arya Stark finally crosses a name off her list by killing Ser Meryn Trant appearing as a child prostitute in front of him. While we felt proud of her in that very moment, but like always, the pride was snatched away from us when Jaqar H’ghar tells Arya that she killed someone she wasn’t supposed to because of her personal reasons and she must pay for it. Pay she does and loses her eyesight!

3) Sansa Stark and Theon Greyjoy

The moment Lady Brienne and her squire turn their sight away from the high tower; Sansa manages to light that candle she had been meaning to for so long. All that effort was basically of no good. While Ramsay is out for war, Sansa tries to flee only to run into Reek and Ramsay’s lover, Myranda. While Myranda plans to return Sansa to Ramsay Bolton, so he can use her to get an heir, Reek (or Theon Greyjoy) finally mans up and pushes Myranda down to death. They both then jump from the wall, hand-in-hand leaving their fates to the Gods.

4) Cersei Lannister – The walk of shame

Broken and bogged down, Cersei decides to confess to the High Sparrow and wishes to spend time with her son in return. She only confesses to being involved with cousin Lancel Lannister out of marriage (no mention of Jamie anywhere) and the High Sparrow agrees to her wish given that she has completed her atonement and walk of shame. She is then stripped down, washed, locks chopped off and made to walk naked till King’s Landing while people curse her and throw… let’s just say things, at her.

5) Jamie Lannister finally feels what it’s like to be a father for 5 seconds

While bidding their goodbyes to Dorne, Ellaria Sand plants a long kiss on Myrcella’s lips wishing her all the happiness in the world. Jamie Lannister, Prince Trystane, Bronn and Myrcella then finally set out for King’s Landing when Jamie tries to tell Myrcella the truth about him and Cersei only to find out that she already knows. They share a brief father-daughter moment in a warm embrace when Myrcella starts bleeding from her nose and well…dies. Need help connecting the dots? Ellaria is then shown wiping her nose in Dorne and drinking the antidote to save her from the poison that was on her and Myrcella’s lips.

6) Are the Dothraki’s back?

Tyrion, Missandei and Grey Worm take charge of Meereen as Khaleesi is out in the wild with her dragon, when Jorah and Daario begin their quest to bring her back. Khaleesi and her hungry dragon, who is of no use at the moment, are in the middle of nowhere when Khaleesi is surrounded by the Dothraki army (Remember how they hate her?). She very smartly drops her ring so that someone can trace her but do the Dothrakis think of her the same way?

7) You really know nothing Jon Snow!

Just like his father Ned Stark, Jon Snow stood up for an honourable cause and got deceived by his own. He was tricked by Olly under the pretext of knowing the whereabouts of his uncle Benjen. He was then stabbed by the men of the Night’s Watch repeatedly (Et tu, Brute?). The most painful part is that the last person to stab him is Olly, that little kid!

This week in science – a single blood test shows every virus you’ve been exposed too!

Science has added yet another feather to its hat to make lives easier. A single test can now help you find out all the viruses you’ve ever been exposed to. Hard to believe? Read on to know all about it.

“That’s what happens when you invent technology — you can’t imagine what people will do with it,” said Dr. Elledge, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School. This man can reveal every virus you’ve ever been exposed to using less than a drop of your blood!

Source

The main purpose of this test is to become an important research tool for tracking patterns of diseases in various samples of people from different parts of the world. However, this virus is only in the experimental stages for now as it does not detect small viruses. Dr Stephen J. Elledge has named and patented this test as VirScan and it can be completed in short span ranging from two days to two months.

Confused about how this works?

The test works by detecting antibodies, highly specific proteins that the immune system has made in response to viruses, in your body.

Source

How much does it cost?

And if you think that this test will cost you a bomb, you’re wrong! Finding out about all the viruses your body has been exposed to will only leave you short of $25 in your account.

Source

This professor of genetics currently working at Harvard Medical School believes that VirScandeserves to be a part of a large scale organization so as to produce better results for people wanting to know about the history of viruses their bodies have faced so far.

What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger!

7 Reasons why you should be excited about the new Jurassic World movie!

The only good thing about the summer heat except for the mimosas and the beer mugs (goes without saying) is the bunch of awesome movies that come with it every year. Like choosing a new outfit every day wasn’t enough, now picking a movie to watch every week has also been added to our hectic schedules. If you can’t decide which movie to watch this week then here’s your definite answer. This Thursday (11^th June, 2015) relive those memories with Jurassic World (reboot) and that is not the only reason you should be watching this movie. Here are seven reasons that will make you get out of bed before 11 AM on the weekend and catch this movie at the nearest cinema.

1. A well-known face is the owner of the Jurassic Park!

Who would have thunk that Irrfan Khan, who at one point couldn’t even afford the ticket to watch Jurassic Park in the 90’s now runs the Jurassic World. Just too much respect!

Source

2. You know what’s unstoppable?

You guessed it right. A T-Rex with long arms! The main attraction of the movie involves the genetically modified T-Rex with long arms and boy is she in a frenzy! Behold the Indominus Rex.

3. The Star Lord returns with new back up

There aren’t a lot of things that are more entertaining than Chris Patt bossing around some dinosaurs and using them as his new back up. Who needs the Guardians of the Galaxy when you have trained and tamed dinosaurs?

Source

4. Haven’t watched the previous movies? No worries!

This one is a complete reboot and unrelated to the previous movies, so don’t miss it just in case you don’t know what the preceding installments were all about.

Source

5. It’s a splendid sight for sore eyes

Essentially it’s still a park, the scenery, the trees and foliage but the entire view from scene to scene is sure to take your breath away.

Source

6. Who doesn’t want to see a great white shark eaten alive in one go?

Don’t believe us? Just take a look at this!

That right there is the deal-sealer. The fact that even marine life is present in the movie just increases the probability of the number of Dinos to be seen in the movie.

Source

7. They see me rollin, they hatin!

Seeing people rolling like hamsters in their safe ball among dinosaurs in 3D? Won’t that be incredible to watch?
