Every society has managed to come up with a sport to entertain and provide an outlet for violence. So it makes total sense that in a world where bending exists, multiple sports involving the abilities have been formed. Pro-Bending is perhaps the most popular sport during the era that The Legend of Korra is set in. In fact, several of the main characters were actively involved, and avid fans of the sport to boot....
Last week, Arrow delivered on its promise to explain the return of Laurel Lance to Star City after Damien Darhk had unceremoniously dispatched her late in season 4. The Earth-2 doppelgänger Black Siren had been recruited by Prometheus as yet another example made by the villain of how Oliver has failed in his quest to be a hero. It was a low blow to be sure – one the masked archer has a real knack for delivering – but it wasn’t without an unintended upside....
John Diggle stood at the foreground of Arrow season 7, episode 19, “Spartan.” The episode revealed a never-before explored aspect of Diggle’s background and family life and how he came to choose the codename Spartan when he officially became a superhero who operated in the field on a regular basis, and not just when Oliver Queen needed the assistance of “the black driver.” The action of “Spartan” centered on Team Arrow’s continuing efforts to expose the Ninth Circle and Oliver’s quest to free his half-sister Emiko from the sinister society’s control....

It was founded in 2016 by former ESPN commentator Bill Simmons. Its podcasting network is said to draw more than 100 million downloads per month, generating over $15 million in revenue in 2018....

One of the most powerful features of any programming language is the ability to procedures. Rather than having all of your code in a sequential format, it is more efficient to break up your code into manageable blocks. Each block of code is typically used to process a particular problem. These blocks of code are also known as Procedures. Generally, there are two types of procedures: Functions and Subroutines. Functions A function is a procedure that returns a value back to the caller....
AT&T 5G service has now gone live in a further 28 US cities and counties. The carrier says that this takes its 5G coverage to a total of 355 markets, reaching 179 million people … One of the ways it has done this is using a technology known as dynamic spectrum sharing. It is a slight stretch to call it 5G without an asterisk, however, as it uses a low-band 850MHz spectrum, but at least it’s not complete nonsense like ‘5G E....
Are You Afraid of the Dark? is getting a TV minseries revival. The successful ’90s era horror themed anthology series was one of Nickelodeon’s most popular titles during both its initial run from 1990-1996 and its much shorter, secondary run from 1999-2000. Having gained its share of praise over those years, many fans have been patiently waiting (and hoping) for the day the series returns. Taking on the role of similar anthology horror-themed series’ like The Twilight Zone, or a modern equivalent such as Black Mirror, Are You Afraid of the Dark?...
The world simply can’t escape the fad of superheroes. Whether it’s Marvel or DC, film or television, one form or other of our most beloved comic-book stars are bound to make a jump to the screen. And while the movies have undeniably change the entire paradigm of how we perceive the universes, TV shows also did pretty well. A great example of this is Arrow, one of the first super-hero series to bless our screens in recent times....
Every once in a while a piece of art comes along that exceeds every possible expectation held prior to experiencing it, and developer Aurora44’s gorgeous, emotionally thrilling Ashen is an example of such art. The Souls series, especially the Dark Souls entries, are arguably games that achieved this distinction. With complex boss fights and a difficult-but-fair combat system, the Dark Souls games provided a real challenge to players and didn’t hold hands....

The cult classic sitcom Arrested Development ran for three critically acclaimed, but low rated seasons on Fox from 2003 to 2006. Two polarizing seasons have followed on Netflix, and that number increases to three if you count the odd choice to remix the poorly planned out fourth season into something meant to be more enjoyable to the remaining audience. From its beginning, the series has chronicled the misadventures of the dysfunctional Bluth family....
Arrow, the founder of the Arrowverse, has officially come to an end as of January 28 when the Stephen Amell-led series aired its final hour. Following a massive buildup to Crisis on Infinite Earths and finishing off Oliver’s story, the series concluded the series that began The CW’s massive shared DC TV universe. While the Green Arrow mythology may live on in the potential Green Arrow and the Canaries spinoff, Oliver’s presence will leave a void for the Arrowverse going forward....
Both Wild Dog and Black Canary will be series regulars during the sixth season of Arrow. The show’s season five finale is shaping up to be a tense and series-defining episode, and the fear is high that any one of our main characters may not walk away from the final showdown against Prometheus. As past seasons have come to a close, we’ve seen Oliver Queen lose his best friend Tommy and his mother Moira....
For a long time, fans of DC’s TV universe were left wondering whether Supergirl would live to see season 2. Its ratings weren’t terrible by any means, but they still routinely came up short when matched against other CBS programs. Thankfully, Supergirl ended up saved by a force perhaps even more powerful than her: corporate synergy. With a successful line-up of three existing DC-based dramas already on The CW’s schedule, CBS – the C in CW – opted to make a lateral move, sending Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist) off to save innocents on the smaller, but perhaps better-suited-to-superheroes network....

The delay comes after the Federal Aviation Administration expressed concerns about “potential interference with key cockpit safety systems.” The expansion was scheduled to take place on December 5.
