The Big Bang Theory Is Getting A Prequel Series
Fans of the Big Bang Theory were super-pleased this week to hear that the show is getting a prequel, following the exploits of a younger Sheldon.

The Series 10 Doctor Who Trailer Is Here

You can check it all out here.
Aquaman Movie Delayed
Aquaman, which was originally slated to come out in October of 2018, has been pushed back two months. Now, the DC superhero film will be coming out on December 21, 2018. Why this happened is unknown at this time.
Venom Has A Release Date
For the past couple years, Sony wanted to expand on its Spider-Man Cinematic Universe, but for a while, that seemed to have come to a standstill. This past week, it was revealed that Spider-Man's first spin-off, Venom, finally got a release date: October 5, 2018.
Conan Exiles, the new sandbox action game from Funcom, is unlikely to get a Nintendo Switch version, it seems. Game director Joel Bylos told DualShockers that the studio currently has no plans to bring Conan Exiles to Nintendo Switch and has had no conversations with Nintendo.
Also in the interview, Bylos confirmed that Conan Exiles is already running on Xbox One internally. The game "looks pretty good," DualShockers reported, though Bylos apparently said the control system still needs work.
An in-development version of Conan Exiles is due out for Xbox One through the console's Game Preview system later this year. The game is already available on PC through Steam Early Access; it sold 320,000 copies in just one week after it was released earlier this year.
Conan Exiles is also coming to PlayStation 4, but a release date for Sony's system has not been announced.

The reason you won't is because professional artists often draw sketches for fun or commissions and post them on their websites, blogs, and Tumblrs. Some artists even arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out. This is a way to see the artists working on one book draw characters from other comics or publishers.

Auto-selfies in Final Fantasy XV were one of the game's more memorable features. Whether party member Prompto completely messed up a shot or took a pic suitable for framing, it was always entertaining sorting through his pics when the party took a camping break. The video below features an in-depth talk at GDC 2017, where FFXV party AI lead designer Prasert Prasertvithyakarn spoke at length about the game's photography system.
By 2016, selfies were not uncommon in games since you can trace its use at least as far back as The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD and Grand Theft Auto V. Final Fantasy XV and this talk illustrates that there's still a lot of room for evolution.
