Watch TV in a new way You probably won’t buy an Xbox One to watch television, but television watching seems to be pretty neat with all the integration and applications Microsoft have worked into their new console.

Users in that region can still purchase titles from the Steam storefront, but they won’t be able to engage in discussion or utilize any of the other community features (such as screenshots, guides, forums, groups or the marketplace) available to everyone else.

That’s how you know you can trust me; I have no other priorities....

At least it isn’t ‘Dragon Tat 2’ David Fincher’s excellentadaptation ofThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoois getting a sort-of follow-up in the form ofThe Girl in the Spider’s Web. It’s a strange situation, with Fincher and stars Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig not returning and Sony pictures instead bringing on director Fede Álvarez (Evil Dead,Don’t Breathe) and actress Claire Foy on for this adaptation of thefourthbook in theMilleniumseries. Because it’s a bit confusing, and test audiences are reportedly stupid, the film will have the full title ofThe Girl in the Spider’s Web: A New Dragon Tattoo Story....

Possibly for BlizzCon? [Update:Blizzard briefly acknowledgedHeroesduring the opening ceremony today, confirming that Deathwing is going to be free for BlizzCon pass holders. All heroes will be free until November 10.] Despite the fact that it doesn’t get a ton of updates these days, I still playHeroes of the Storm, and will likely play more onceDeathwing(basically, a boss character in a MOBA) hits. But thanks to a presumed BlizzCon promotion, a lot of lapsed players are probably going to want to dive back in....
