The final episode of House Of The Dragon Season 2 will air next week, but the show's creators hid a special treat for eagle-eyed viewers in the penultimate episode of Season 2, which premiered over the weekend: a cameo from Game Of Thrones author George R. R. Martin, hidden in just about the last place one would think to look.The blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo takes place fairly early on in the episode, during a confrontation between Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) and young Oscar Tully (Archie Barnes). The scene is set in the courtyard of Harrenhal, with a massive weirwood tree serving as the backdrop. But a closer look at the tree reveals that the face it bears is that of none other than George R. R. Martin. The story behind the enormous prop was shared in the most-recent episode of The House That Dragons Built, a companion series that tells the behind-the-scenes story of each episode's creation.Martin's likeness appears in Game Of Thrones for the first time as the face of a special kind of weirwood known as a heart tree."What's lovely about the show is everything's so character-based that even the tree is a character," VFX producer Thomas Horton said of the huge prop-tree, which was sculpted specifically for the scene.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

PlayStation and Team Asobi are gearing up for Astro Bot's release on September 6, which will give the quirky robot more planets to explore, more enemies to overcome, and a whole new set of skills to master. Considering Astro's Playroom served as a brilliant (and free!) demonstration of the DualSense Controller's unique features, it feels rather fitting that PlayStation has unveiled the Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense Controller. Taking design cues from Astro Bot, the striking gamepad will go up for preorder on August 9 ahead of its September 6 release. Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense $80 Preorders will open on August 9 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET and will be available in limited quantities at select retailers. That means you'll want to set a calendar alert if you're looking to get your hands on the stylish controller, as there's a good chance it'll sell out fast. We'll update this article the moment preorders are available, so you can bookmark this page and circle back next week.Along with a white and blue design, it features several accents and a pair of beady eyes staring out at you from the touchpad. See at PlayStation Blog While it may boast a striking new design, this is your standard DualSense. That means you won't get back buttons or customizable components as you would on the DualSense Edge, but it has all of the hallmarks that make the DualSense such a cool controller: haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone.Preorders for the controller don't open until August 9, but preorders for the Astro Bot game are now available. You'll get some cool swag for reserving a copy ahead of time, including a bunch of in-game goodies and an adorable physical poster for your game room.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

By now you've probably heard that Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not as Iron Man, but as masked villain Doctor Doom. This is not the first time he's been tapped for the role, as he was considered to play the menacing physician before Iron Man even entered pre-production.This information was first revealed a little over a year ago, when Marvel Studios released promotional material celebrating the first Iron Man movie's 15th anniversary. In a conversation between director Jon Favreau and producer Kevin Feige, Favreau recalled, "You had all met with him already for like Doctor Doom or something, on another project... so everybody sort of knew who he was." Feige apparently confirmed with a simple "right." Model and actor Julian McMahon played Doctor Doom in the original two Fantastic Four films, both released before Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr. won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, as well as a Golden Globe and a BAFTA, for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer. At San Diego Comic Con, Marvel announced the titles of the next two Avengers movies: Doomsday and Secret Wars. The Russo brothers, who directed two Captain America films, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, are also returning to direct the next two Avengers films.Info from Gamespot.com

Like any good AAA RPG, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a sizeable game, and according to developer BioWare, the game's scope--including its huge cast of characters and hundreds of thousands of lines of dialogue--is part of why it took so long to create.
