Gaming is serious to a lot of people, but unfortunately what seems to be harmless can affect you if you’re not careful. You can have a nice gaming chair, a comfy spot on the couch, or even use your own bed for your gaming sessions but unknowingly develop what gamers call “Gamer lean/Shrimping” or “Gamer neck”. Leave it to gamers to come up with a solution to help prevent this problem, Say hello to The Valari! The Valari has developed a gaming pillow that’s designed to improve your posture while gaming as well as make your sessions more comfortable by providing support for your elbows and forearms.

Yann Demange, who served as an exec produced for “Lovecraft Country,” as well as directed its pilot episode, has replaced Bassam Tariq as the director for Marvel’s upcoming Blade movie, which is being described as a more dark, gritty, and edgier movie than fans usually get from Marvel. The vampire movie also has a new writer, Emmy winner Michael Starrbury, known for The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete and for writing episodes of series such as “When They See Us.” We last heard the voice of Oscar-winner and star Mahershala Ali as Blade in the post-credit scene of 2021’s Eternals (see the clip below) when Dane (Kit Harington)/ the Black Knight reaches for a sword wrapped in cloth in a wooden box.

After all the years of rumors and issues, you may be wondering where the upcoming Blade reboot stands. Wonder no more, we’ve got an update. We last heard the voice of Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali as Blade in the post-credit scene of 2021’s Eternals (see the clip below) when Dane (Kit Harington)/ the Black Knight reaches for a sword wrapped in cloth in a wooden box. Before he can touch it we hear the voice asking “Are you sure you are ready for that Mr. Whitman?” Since then writers and directors have changed several times.
