The next generation of Nvidia graphics cards are here, and the good news is they live up to the hype. Don’t believe me? Check out our Nvidia RTX 2080 review or our Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti review to see what we thought, as well as look over those 4K benchmarks, possibly with your mouth agape. They’re real good cards, is what I’m saying. However, they’re also hard to come by.
Nvidia has confirmed the release date of the GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card.
In a post on Twitter, Nvidia announced the card will become available on October 17. Cards will start at $500, and a $600 Founders Edition card will be available on the Nvidia site.
Star Trek: Discovery is currently filming its second season for CBS All Access with an expected premiere date sometime in early 2019. Fans were left hanging when the first season ended with a stunning tease as the Discovery found itself face to face with the USS Enterprise. The famous ship’s arrival naturally led to the assumption (which was later confirmed) that we’d be meeting a younger version of lead character Michael Burnham’s adoptive brother Spock, who we now know will be played by Ethan Peck.
But since Discovery takes place about 10 years before the events of Captain Kirk’s The Original Series adventures on the Enterprise, the current commanding officer of the ship is Captain Christopher Pike (played by Inhumans’ Anson Mount on Discovery), who Trek history tells us helmed the Enterprise just before James Kirk took over. Though Pike only played a minor role in The Original Series in its final form (more on that in a moment), the character has endured across several films and television series and has been portrayed by four different actors to date. So let’s take a moment to get to know the first commanding officer of the Enterprise to give the order, “Engage!”
While Andrew Lincoln, who has played Rick Grimes since the first episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead in 2010, is leaving his character behind during season 9, he doesn’t plan on leaving The Walking Dead family as he intends to direct future episodes.
Speaking to EW, Lincoln has said that he will be returning to season 9’s set in Senoia, GA shortly to “learn the directing ropes, with the plan of helming his own episode next season.”
“I’m going back,” Lincoln said. “I’m going back to shadow a director, and my intention is to direct next year.”

The slow burn stylings of FLCL: Alternative continue with “Freestyle Collection.” Following the blueprint laid out by the previous episode, Freestyle Collection takes a closer look at Mossan through the lens of Kana’s constant struggle with her future prospects.
The episode kicks off when Kana, having not turned in her college planning sheet, inquires about what Mossan wrote down for hers. Mossan tells her friends about her dream of being a fashion designer and reveals she has made it through the first round of a fashion design contest. Unlike Hijiri’s fling from the last episode, which felt a little par for her character, Mossan’s reveal was actually a surprise to me and had me interested from the start. Mossan’s reveal also provided a great opportunity to add to Kana’s maturity crisis which has become one of the show’s main threads.
Bill Cosby was sentenced three to 10 years in a state prison on Tuesday for sexually assaulting a woman at his home in 2004, reported by Variety.
Judge Steven T. O’Neill from Montgomery Country denied Cosby’s request for bail pending his appeal.
Cosby will need to serve the minimum time of three years under Pennsylvania law before he can be up for parole. The maximum sentence is five to 10 years in prison.
“This is a serious crime,” said O’Neill, who rejected the defense request for house arrest, partial confinement, and even a chance to serve the sentence in the county jail as opposed to state prison.
