Note: Only write-ups of retired HTB machines are allowed. The machine in this article, named Bounty, is retired....
It took a month of in-game deaths, but YouTuber ATwearkingYoshi has managed to beat Halo 3 on its hardest difficulty using a Guitar Hero controller. Guitar Hero and Rock Band’s instrument-shaped controllers have long been an inviting challenge for those looking to complete games in ridiculous ways, and they’ve been used to complete games such as Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3 in the past. ATwerkingYoshi, also known as Super Louis 64 on Twitch, is one of those who have completed Dark Souls 3 with the guitar controller....

Harry Potter is one of the most universally beloved fandoms/franchises of all time. Fans across the globe have found role models and reflections of themselves and their loved ones in some of the more iconic series. But not all of the characters in the series have been seen in such a positive light by all who read the books and watch the films. Though many fans have rather controversial opinions on some of the main characters in the Harry Potter series (i....
The Ron Weasley in the books versus the Ron Weasley in the movies is quite different in many ways. While there are many similarities between both versions of the Harry Potter character, fans have noted that many things about Ron’s personality were changed for the movies. While, of course, some moments and scenes can’t be translated from book to screen or need to be cut out for time, many feel that Ron’s characterization was changed too much....
The Harry Potter series, despite initially being created for young children across the globe, contained quite the body count. The first three movies and books pass relatively nicely, with just Professor Quirrell meeting his demise in the Sorcerer’s Stone. But, when Lord Voldemort returns in the Goblet of Fire, that spells the end for many characters within JK Rowling’s franchise. Some deaths, however, could have been avoided had the characters made better decisions - or not been subject to trickery....
Of all of the families from the Harry Potter series, the Weasley family might be one of, if not the most heroic of all. Almost all of the members of the Weasley family show the Gryffindor traits of bravery and courage many times in their lives. As a family and as individuals they can be rather heroic and are always trying to do the right thing, especially in the fight against Voldemort and his followers....
The Black Widow trailer has taken fans of the MCU by storm, offering several new looks into Natasha Romanov’s past. That includes her self-described ‘family’ of Russian agents, including Red Guardian, played by actor David Harbour. But comparing him to the comics, it seems Marvel Studios may have already changed him from his comic book origins – erasing his marriage with Natasha, as well. In the Black Widow trailer itself, Natasha reunites with a few old allies previously unseen in the MCU....
Game of Thrones would’ve been very different if George R.R. Martin had stuck to his original plan for his A Song of Ice and Fire book series. The TV show and books present two different versions of the same story, with Game of Thrones massively expediting things in order to get to to the finish line, something Martin himself still hasn’t managed. Game of Thrones started back in 2011, the same year the latest entry in A Song of Ice and Fire, titled A Dance With Dragons, was released....
The highly anticipated PlayStation exclusive Ghost of Tsushima will release in the Summer of 2020. Fans around the world have been wondering when the big-budget samurai slasher would finally get a release date, with many speculating that the game would release in the second half of 2020. But now developer Sucker Punch has confirmed the release window for Ghost of Tsushima will be Summer 2020. Sucker Punch is one of the most admired developers in the gaming industry, and perhaps best known for creating the Sly Cooper and Infamous series of games....
It seems like the funny and witty Rory and Lorelai Gilmore were practically made for memes. The main characters of the TV drama Gilmore Girls, which aired for seven seasons from 2000 until 2007 plus a 2016 Netflix revival, are known for sharing everything with one another (including how much they adore a certain hot caffeinated beverage). Over the years, countless fans have put together memes with the best quotes from the series along with the wittiest mother/daughter moments....
Warner Bros. has officially delayed Godzilla vs. Kong’s release date to Fall 2020. Beginning in 2014, the studio launched what’s since been decreed the MonsterVerse, starting with Gareth Edwards’ American Godzilla movie reboot. That was followed in 2017 by Kong: Skull Island, a prequel set in the ’70s that explores the origins of King Kong in the MonsterVerse. This was all building up to the release of Godzilla vs Kong in 2020, with Adam Wingard (You’re Next, Death Note) calling the shots as director....
There’s a good chance that Mothra, who died in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, may return in Godzilla vs. Kong. If so, it would be Mothra’s second MonsterVerse appearance. Considering the scale of King of the Monsters, it seems unlikely that Warner Bros. and Legendary will follow it up with a movie that only includes two Titans, so more monsters may be confirmed in the near future. The final battle in Godzilla: King of the Monsters consisted of a brutal two-on-two match, with Godzilla taking on King Ghidorah and Mothra going head-to-head with Rodan....
The popular note-taking and annotation app GoodNotes 5 received a major update today with some important new features, including collaborative documents via iCloud and more. Users can now share live versions of documents and even work with others on the same document with GoodNotes 5.5. Previously, if you needed to share a GoodNotes document with another user, you had to export it manually as an individual file, which made it difficult to work on the same project with other people....
After showing off some new Google+ features earlier this month at I/O that ended up in the Google+ Android app last week, Google today is bringing Auto Enhance, related hashtags and much more to its Google+ apps for iOS. Version 4.4.0 of Google+ for iPhone and iPad now includes new Auto Enhance photo editing features thanks to some technology from Snapseed, the new intelligent related hashtags feature to get more information related to photos in your stream, and the ability to “Share short animations, panoramas, and more....
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pHuoDqcIyqk] Google is making some big product announcements today, despite having to cancel its event due to Hurricane Sandy. Among the announcements: a new Nexus smartphone from LG, a Samsung-built Nexus 10 tablet, and updates to Google’s 7-inch Nexus 7 lineup. LG Nexus 4: Google is launching the much-rumored LG Nexus 4 on Nov. 13 starting at $299. Much of the specs were confirmed previously, but Google has interestingly decided to not offer an LTE-capable model of the device....
A Google Stadia executive said the game streaming platform will have “way better” multiplayer connectivity than what’s possible on consoles, potentially allowing for “thousands of people” playing together in the same game world. The proliferation of cloud-based gaming services like Stadia are seen by some as a sign of the death of traditional game consoles. Following its announcement earlier this year, Google’s game streaming platform was initially thought by many to be a “Netflix for games,” but it has become clear that’s not the case....
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cZ4mdrlWYM&feature=player_embedded] Today, Google announced that it will roll out a new version of its its Google Search application for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The new version is notable in that it brings Siri and Google Now-like voice search functionality to the App Store app. The Verge is on hand at the announcement, and they note that you can “ask for the weather in a natural way and it will provide results....
Well, we like to think we are. Our minds work differently. We’re not as predictable as everyone else. We’re unique. Or are we? I only ask as I was arrested by a casual comment made by a VP of engineering at Google, Rajan Patel. Feeling the need to emit a fun fact – and where better to emit fun facts than Twitter? – Patel offered: “Fun fact. 15% of the searches we see every day have never been Googled before....
Gotham has revealed its final Joker design, and while the reaction online has been fairly negative, the look works well enough within the context of the show. With only two episodes remaining, Gotham’s time on television is almost over and arguably the most complex character to feature throughout the series’ has been Gotham’s version of iconic Batman villain, the Joker. Played by Cameron Monaghan, first as Jerome Valeska and then as his twin brother Jeremiah, Gotham’s Joker has been defined by a lingering uncertainty but, as the seasons went by, Monaghan’s villain took on more and more Jokerish traits until the connection was impossible to ignore....
