Feige didn’t say anything else about the Fantastic Four reboot, but as usual at these kinds of events, it was also about what he didn’t say: that the Four will take precedence over the X-Men in terms of joining the MCU.

Still, The Witcher 3 can get a little too liberal with how they treat Geralt’s imperfection, and at times, he tends to become a man of contradictions if the plot needed some nudging in a different direction....

You get to assist in the re-build by choosing a contraption to go with the new frame - you can pick up the others later....

Microsoft has recently revealed its Q3 earnings report for the whole company including Xbox, Microsoft Windows, and more. The big takeaway is Microsoft Corporation stocks temporarily went up, helping the company hit a $1 trillion valuation. This would quickly decrease, but the only other companies to ever hit that point are tech giants Apple and Google. The details of the report may be less surprising, especially in the appropriate context, but overall Xbox One sales are down, selling 33% fewer consoles than last year....
