Netflix's Stranger Things is the services most anticipated show as the series is about to move into its fourth season, but when will it release?

Stranger Things Season 3 released back on July 4th, 2016 and in just four days, 40.7 million Netflix accounts viewed it. This number continued to grow as 64 million households watched it within its first month, making it Netflix's most successful piece of original content.

TVLine has now confirmed that the new season will begin shooting its first episode sin January, 2020. Filming is expected to continue until sometime in August and the if we are lucky the new season will be released in the Summer of 2020. TVLine also caught wind of how many episodes would be in the new season, and according to them it will have a full eight episodes, much like the first and third season.

The common representation of what an 'alien' would look like if we ever found one is large oval shaped heads, black eyes, small mouths and an overbearing intellect. NASA's Hubble Telescope has found something out in deep space that seems extremely similar to that.

Hubble was doing what it does best, tracking galaxies and giving us amazing pictures of the cosmos. Recently, the space telescope released the above image, and from what we think we know about aliens the image resembles something close to what a Grey is supposed to look like.

While the image is most certainly not an alien of any kind, but instead, and more accurately put - the galaxy system Arp-Madore 2026-424. This system is located about 704 million light-years from Earth and if you look closely at the two galaxies spinning near the center of the image they can be made into eyes.

Remember when Game of Thrones ended and we caught wind of HBO making a prequel series that would explore the events before Westeros' seven kingdoms? Well, apparently that idea has been abandoned.

According to a new report coming out of Deadline, the prequel series is now dead in the water. Jane Goldman the writer and showrunner for the prequel series has reportedly been sending emails out to cast and crew about the project, telling them that the pilot not going to happen.

At the moment HBO hasn't commented on whether or not the prequel will go ahead, but for the time being it doesn't seem very likely. According to Game of Thrones writer, George R.R Martin, the Game of Thrones prequel show would concentrate on Westeros in the era when it had 100 petty kingdoms, more on that here.

There is nothing quite like a good selfie after a hard days work, or at least that's what NASA's Curiosity Rover thinks.

On September 24th, NASA's Curiosity Rover which is currently station on Mars performed some rare science work called "wet chemistry". This is the second time the rover has performed this experiement since it landed on the Red Planet seven years ago. The experiment consists of the rover dropping a drilled sample into a special solvent which could allow for scientists to identify carbon-containing molecules.

The reason the rover has decided to conduct the experiment now is because the its currently exploring an area that is rich in clay materials, and clay materials are great at preserving many chemical compounds. According to Paul Mahaffy, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, "We've been eager to find an area that would be compelling enough to do wet chemistry, now that we're in the clay-bearing unit, we've finally got it."

Researchers have showcased a brand new 3D animated character being brought to life, the catch? It moves exactly like humans do.

Computer scientists from the University of Edinburgh and Adobe Research have developed a data driven technique that uses a deep neural network to accurately guide 3D animated characters. The precision of the neural network showcases characters in a variety of different motions such as sitting in chairs, picking up objects, running, side-stepping, climbing through obstacles and more.

Komura, coauthor and chair of computer graphics at the University of Edinburgh spoke out about the achievement, saying "The technique essentially mimics how a human intuitively moves through a scene or environment and how it interacts with objects, realistically and precisely." If you are interested in checking out the video of the animated character for yourself, click this link right here.

EA made the surprise announcement in the last 24 hours that Apex Legends would be coming to Steam, as well as the game hitting 70 million players, and some even bigger news -- it's coming to mobile platforms and most likely even next-gen consoles in the Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Scarlett consoles in late-2020.

But the cherry on top of all of this is that Apex Legends will work with Steam and not require Origin running, unlike other EA games that will require Origin to be running in order to work on Steam.

We know this because Respawn Entertainment staffer 'thezilch' commented on this Reddit post about Apex Legends will be coming to Steam in 2020!, they replied saying: "Not true. Apex will launch directly with Steam without running Origin".

HBO Max was announced in full today with a release window of May 2020 and monthly cost of $14.99, it'll rock the entire series of mega-hits Friends and The Big Bang Theory, as well as every single Joker, Batman, and Superman movie ever made.

This means you'll get the classic (and my childhood favorite movies) in Superman: The Movie, Superman II, Superman III, and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Not only that, but you'll even get the recent R-rated success in Todd Phillips' Joker, as well as every theatrical release of the Batman franchise including The Dark Knight Trilogy.

We can also expect other movies in both characters' history with Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice starring Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman and Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman. We'll also see Justice League, Suicide Squad, Aquaman, and many others. This will be a huge win for HBO Max as it has Warner Bros. behind it, and will be the big battler against Disney+ that now owns Marvel and the entire MCU.

The Outer Worlds has only just come out and there's already someone who has speedrun through the game, finishing it in just over 30 minutes flat.

Obsidian Entertainment's latest game has been beaten in just 30 minutes and 54 seconds, with speedrunner 'Jabo' absolutely smashing through The Outer Worlds. Considering The Outer Worlds is an RPG, these speedruns make it even more impressive.

You can't just run-and-gun your way through RPGs but if you're fast enough and skilled enough at speedrunning, Jabo proves you can. He does all of this using The Outer World's built-in stun mechanics, bringing the major boss robot at the end to its knees. It's all done with the standard revolver in the game called The Vermin.

We've been waiting, and the day is finally here -- HBO Max has been announced in full, with the new streaming platform coming in at $14.99 per month when it launches in May 2020.

If you're an existing HBO subscriber on AT&T or a HBO Now direct billing subscriber, you will receive HBO Mac for free. If you're with AT&T and subscribe to AT&T's premium video, mobile and broadband packages you'll also get HBO Max for free. In 2021, there will reportedly be an ad-supported version of HBO Max.

AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson was on-hand at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California where he explained that HBO Max is "very different from anything else that you've seen in the market so far," adding that, "This is not Netflix. This is not Disney. This is HBO Max".
