Shawn has introduced his second relationship on Life After Lockup, and both times he's seemingly pushed his parenting aside to pursue love. On Life After Lockup season 4, viewers followed Shawn's new relationship with Sara after a messy breakup with his ex Destinie. It was just last year when Shawn was driving around town trying to hunt Destinie down to get his car back. He also proposed to her and wanted to build a future together, but Destinie was seemingly only interested in his financial stability. All the while, Shawn upset his ex Kelly due to how neglectful he was being to their six kids.
Shawn has now gotten into a relationship with Sara and things appear to be going well for the couple. He admitted to lying about his age and owned up to being 10 years older than the original 36 he told Sara. While Sara is aware that Shawn has other children back home, she isn't fully aware of how big Shawn's sacrifice for her was. He relocated to Ohio to be with Sara and left his six kids behind. While he expresses his hopes of being a step-father to Sara's daughter, he already has six kids of his own who are missing their father.
Recent reports say that Shawn and Sara might even be married and expecting a child together after about a year of dating. A video from YouTube channel realiteasquad (included below) recently unearthed alleged evidence hinting at Sara and Shawn being married while filming their couples confessional. Sara is the second relationship Shawn has shared on Life After Lockup. Each time, Shawn shows his devotion to his girlfriend while seemingly pushing his fatherhood role to the waist side. He hasn't included his children in the show.
Shawn has only sat down with his ex Kelly to inform her about the new woman he's fallen in love with this time around. Kelly's visible frustration with Shawn shows that he might have a history of disappointing her and their kids. Overall, raising six children isn't easy, so it's a role that requires a lot of time and dedication. But considering how much time Shawn dedicates to his romantic relationships, it leaves one wondering when he finds time to spend with his six kids.
If he is expecting another child, it'll be his seventh child and Sara's second. Shawn will also have to introduce his newborn to his other kids. That will be a whole new journey for Shawn and Sara to embark on. Hopefully, the Life After Lockup cameras is rolling to see what the dynamic will be for the blended family. It's good to see Shawn finally finding love, but not if it comes at the expense of spending time with his children.
Comets are a frequent and gorgeous occurrence in outer space, and a study recently outlined plans for how scientists could watch them be created in real-time. As it's been proven time and time again, the mysteries of space are continually fascinating. Planets in our Solar System have many stories to tell, faraway galaxies hold countless other secrets, and there's a constant drive in the science community to uncover as many of these as possible.
Thanks to constantly advancing technology, each day brings us closer to answering previously unsolvable questions. In 2021 alone, there have been numerous milestones in the space exploration world. Perseverance collected the first Martian rock sample that'll be returned to Earth, InSight created the first interior map of Mars, and Ingenuity became the first helicopter to fly on an alien planet. In that context, it's almost unfathomable to think what we'll be able to achieve in 5, 10, or 50 years down the road.
Thanks to a new study from the University of Chicago, researchers have now outlined plans for astronomers to follow the creation of a comet from start to finish. More specifically, the study describes how we could document comet creation that takes place in Jupiter's orbit. As described by the author of the paper, Darryl Seligman, "This would be an amazing opportunity to see a pristine comet 'turn on' for the first time."
Comets and asteroids come from many places in our Solar System. There's a well-known asteroid belt near Mars, along with the Kuiper belt just beyond Neptune's orbit. One destination that's less understood is an area between Jupiter and Neptune. Between the two planets is a group of 'centaurs' — large chunks of ice that are from the Solar System's earliest days. Every now and then, these centaurs are pulled into Jupiter's orbit, shot off towards Earth, and transform into stunning comets hurtling through space.
While this whole process remains relatively unknown, Seligman believes there's an easy way to document it. In short, humans could send a spacecraft to Jupiter and have it stay there in its orbit. Then, once a centaur enters orbit and eventually leaves, the spacecraft could also leave Jupiter and fly alongside the centaur to watch its entire journey. That may sound like a farfetched idea, but as the study explains, all of the required technology already exists. NASA's Juno orbiter is orbiting Jupiter at this very moment, and a Japanese spacecraft returned samples from an asteroid late last year. The timing also lines up. It only takes about five years to get a spacecraft from Earth to Jupiter's orbit. Scientists have already confirmed another centaur will enter Jupiter's orbit in 2063. On top of that, there's reason to believe another 10 centaurs could also enter orbit within the next 40 years.
Along with the mission being technically possible, Seligman also uses the study to double down on why it's so important to act on. As he puts it, "It would yield a treasure trove of information about how comets move and why, how the solar system formed, and even how Earth-like planets form." It's unclear if/when a mission like this would actually happen, but here's to hoping someone at NASA (or another organization) is listening to what Seligman is saying.

The Season 6 Battle Pass for Call of Duty: Warzone was expanded with Call of Duty: Vanguard's Stg 44 and M1 Garand, which players can earn for free ahead of the game’s official launch on November 5th. Sledgehammer Games’ Call of Duty will have full integration with Raven Software’s free-to-play battle royale when it launches, just as both Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War have had integrations with Warzone. The developers have confirmed many aspects of that future integration, including a massive new battle royale map that will replace Verdansk, as well as additional maps, modes, and events post-launch. Vanguard’s link with Warzone is reportedly stronger than past Call of Duty iterations, and the two will also share a new PC anti-cheat system developed by Raven Software.
Last week, the StG 44 and M1 Garand dropped into Warzone, likely by accident, after the Season Six update. The mistake was quickly addressed and the weapons were stripped from the battle royale. The American M1 Garand and German StG 44 were visible in the Warzone Gunsmith, though the guns couldn’t be equipped in loadouts. One YouTuber, however, said he was able to equip and use the Vanguard weapons that briefly appeared in Warzone, though he was unable to inspect the guns. Now those weapons have officially dropped in Warzone and are unlockable immediately from the Battle Pass.
According to Call of Duty, 24 new Battle Pass tiers have been added to Warzone and Black Ops Cold War, bringing Vanguard weapons and items that players can use immediately ahead of the game’s official launch. All items can be earned for free by playing Warzone and Black Ops Cold War, including the StG 44 and M1 Garand. Though the Battle Pass tiers can be earned in either game, the Vanguard weaponry can only be equipped while playing the battle royale. Developers also confirmed that the Gunsmith will be unavailable for both base weapons, as well as the weapon attachments and camos as of October 12. However, the features will be enabled when Vanguard launches.
Following this launch, Warzone’s Season Six update provides an opportunity to level up the StG 44 and M1 Garand before November 5, as all Weapon XP will be tracked and transferred to Vanguard when it drops. Those levels will also be integrated into Warzone when the official integration takes place later this year. Until those times, however, neither the Weapon Blueprints nor the base guns can be edited. The free Battle Pass tiers also include a plethora of other Vanguard-inspired rewards, including two Weapon Blueprints for both the StG 44 and the M1 Garand, as well as XP tokens, calling cards, emblems, sprays, weapon charms, and stickers. The Battle Pass’s final tier, Tier 98, unlocks the “Clocked In” Watch Wrist Accessory.
Developers Raven Software and Sledgehammer Games have teamed up to bring Vanguard content into Warzone early. Players now have a jumpstart on leveling the StG 44 and M1 Garand, and can begin incorporating those weapons into Warzone's meta ahead of Vanguard’s official launch. How the battle royale’s 100-gun meta will change with the inclusion of the World War II-era weapons is not yet known, though players now get a preview with two such weapons.
American Idol season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert is returning to the small screen as a judge on E's new series Clash of the Cover Bands, premiering on October 13 at 9:30pm. Since leaving American Idol, Adam has had a successful solo career and a superstar turn as the lead singer of the rock band Queen. Adam's experience with performing both on a reality competition show and on tour in the real world will be great assets to him in this new endeavor.
Adam first won America's heart in 2009 on American Idol,during which he established himself as a glam rocker with a voice that soared to heights never before heard on the show. Although he came in second to winner Kris Allen, his career took off as soon as the show ended. His loyal faction of fans, the "Glamberts," are some of the most passionate around. They followed his career from his 2009 debut album For Your Entertainment, which included the hit single, "Whataya Want from Me," for which he earned a Grammy nomination, to his collaborations with Queen. In 2019, he founded the non-profit Feel Something Foundation to support LGBTQ+ and human rights activism. This year, Adam has an upcoming two-weekend residency at the Venetian in Las Vegas with an additional livestream special on Friday, October 29.
In an interview with E! News, Adam discussed his latest project, Clash of the Cover Bands, in which he will mentor cover band contestants alongside fellow singers Meghan Trainor and Ester Dean. The winning band will receive a $25,000 prize and the opportunity to perform on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The bands will cover a vast array of artists this season, including Blink-182, Bon Jovi, Coldplay, U2 and Elton John. They will also sing the songs of female artists like Aretha Franklin, Carrie Underwood and Lady Gaga. Adam confessed he is "kind of partial to the divas. I think that's sort of my soft spot. We had a Britney, a J.Lo. We had a Céline Dion. We had Tina Turner. We had Dolly Parton. These are iconic women."
This was also a full circle moment for Adam because the show is filmed on the same stage and studio as American Idol. Adam explained, "So walking backstage into the studio every day was just so surreal. That was, what, 12 years ago? That's where everything started for me." It also helped remind him how difficult it can be to perform in front of judges. He said, "It made me keep in mind that when you get up on stage and you perform and you give it your all and you're putting yourself out there to be commented on by three people at a desk in front of you, it's not always the easiest thing." He knows that it is"tricky and takes a lot of bravery" to get up on that stage, and he kept all of that in mind when he was talking to the performers. He tried to be "constructive and yet sensitive to the journey."
Adam's path from American Idol contestant to Clash of the Cover Bands judge shows his growth throughout the years. He is now qualified to help a new generation of singers make it big. These bands are lucky to have a mentor like him to help them launch their careers. Adam has it all covered.
Since The Family Chantel season 3 recently premiered, it's a good time to rank the season's most problematic cast members. Viewers know that the Jimeno and Everett families have had messy moments over the years. Chantel and Pedro Jimeno faced tension created by their respective in-laws, while friends of both families have also caused drama for the 90 Day Fiancé alums. Learn how The Family Chantel season 3 cast members stack up when it comes to memorably bad behavior.
When Pedro and Chantel first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé, Chantel’s family was deeply suspicious of Dominican Pedro’s intentions with the Atlanta beauty. Chantel’s parents Karen and Thomas Everett eventually accepted Pedro, though the Everett family then attacked son Royal Everett’s now-wife, Angenette Everett. The season 3 premiere revealed that Angenette and Royal are sitting out The Family Chantel, and the couple is not on speaking terms with the rest of the Everett family at the moment.
While Chantel’s family is known for bringing drama, Pedro’s family is just the same. Pedro’s mother Lidia Jimeno and sister Nicole Jimeno have both clashed with Chantel on numerous messy occasions. Meanwhile, Nicole appears to encourage her best friend Coraima Morla to flirt with Pedro, who has been accused of cheating on Chantel with Coraima. Pedro also faces drama from Nicole’s married boyfriend Alejandro Padron, as Lidia and Pedro both notoriously dislike Nicole’s partner.
River Everett may have engaged in an infamous fistfight with Pedro that resulted in a family brawl, but he is unlikely to be a major source of drama. He is the least shady member of his family, as the antics of his parents and siblings are more outrageous. While he's been a gentler presence, clips for season 3 do show that River might be the next Everett family sibling to have his or her love life probed by Karen. Chantel’s brother is more likely to focus on his career than more clashes with family members, as River wants to make it big in music.
Thomas got flak for joining Karen in her crusade against Pedro. However, viewers think that Karen was always leading the charge, while Thomas was simply backing his wife up. Thomas may not be perfect, but he seems to want the best for his family. To show how much he doesn’t want drama, Thomas has even stayed off of social media. Therefore, it’s unlikely that Chantel’s father will be at the center of any upcoming conflicts.
Winter Everett is another one of the Everett family members who has participated in drama, though few would say she's the worst offender. Winter and Chantel memorably got in a spat that led to Winter hurling some choice words at her older sister. However, Winter’s anger has been attributed to insecurity rather than vengeance. Winter’s biggest drama is her sketchy boyfriend Jah, who is more likely to cause trouble than Winter is.
Pedro Jimeno tends to focus on fitness and family. However, the bad blood between Pedro’s wife Chantel and his family has triggered issues that are exacerbated by Pedro’s poor communication skills. Pedro showed that he isn’t afraid to get physical when it came to River, and he will next fight Nicole’s boyfriend Alejandro Padron in season 3. Pedro has evolved through the seasons, after starting out as a victim of the Everett parents. Now, he's flipping the script by acting like Thomas and Karen, due to his suspicious and meddling behavior with Nicole and Alejandro. However, some viewers think Pedro is just being a caring yet overprotective older brother.
Coraima might be a loyal friend to Nicole, but she has no qualms about meddling in Chantel and Pedro’s marriage. Coraima openly has a crush on Pedro which (according to Nicole) led to Pedro and Coraima sleeping together. Coraima appears unapologetic in season 3 clips, as she makes it known that Chantel feels threatened by her. Though villainous, Coraima is not shaping up to be the biggest villain on The Family Chantel.
Alejandro Padron is another supporting cast member who has earned villain cred. The boyfriend of Nicole angers her mother and brother due to the fact that he is married. Things between Alejandro and Nicole are already uncertain, as she revealed that he isn’t yet pursuing a divorce despite dating her. Alejandro might see his villain status rise due to his upcoming physical altercation with Pedro.
Chantel Jimeno (née Everett) is The Family Chantel star, but that hasn’t stopped her from behaving like a villain on numerous occasions. Chantel started the bad blood with Nicole when she infamously took a language misunderstanding way too far. She called her sister-in-law a “bitch-ass, slut-ass whore.” Chantel also ganged up on Angenette, making her feel unwelcome in the family, even on Angenette’s wedding day. Chantel is beautiful, but some viewers think her personality needs some work.
While Chantel is to blame for her actions, her arch-enemy Nicole also is often on her worst behavior as well. It's definitely true that Nicole has been blasted as a bad sister, as she is shown spitefully telling Chantel that Pedro cheated on her with Coraima this season. Nicole clashes with Chantel in a way that viewers consider bratty, whiny, and immature. Nicole enjoys being at the center of drama and appears to be fully embracing her upcoming villain status, as she is one of the main antagonists for season 3.
Lidia Jimeno has quickly become a franchise villain due to the way she treats Chantel and her own family. Lidia's actions paint her as a dramatic and meddling mother who isn’t afraid to interfere in her childrens' love lives. Lidia dislikes Pedro’s wife Chantel and Nicole’s boyfriend, Alejandro. The fact that Alejandro is still married led Lidia to judge Nicole harshly. She disapproves of her daughter's romantic choices. Many fans think Lidia behaves even worse than her daughter.
Though The Family Chantel displays many cast members who badly, Everett family matriarch Karen takes the cake, and she's the most villainous cast member. Many 90 Day Fiancé fans consider Karen to be one of the worst mothers in the entire extended franchise. Karen lacks all boundaries and respect when it comes to her children's romantic relationships. The smother-mother has interfered with both Chantel and Royal's marriages, and will now be meddling in Winter and River's love lives. The Family Chantel viewers are appalled by the way Karen continues to behave, but they keep tuning in.
To celebrate PSVR's fifth anniversary, PlayStation is giving PlayStation Plus subscribers three VR games in November, in addition to the month's usual offerings. PSVR is one of the few Sony gaming products outside of its home consoles to stick around long-term, as the company is currently sunsetting PS Vita and even PS3 store support. Since PSVR's launch, PlayStation has kept its VR platform games library stocked as a successor headset for the PS5 has been in production.
The PSVR 2 is officially in development, and while Sony has yet to reveal the actual headset, it has shown off the peripheral's controllers. These will utilize PlayStation 5 DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers and feature precise hand and finger sensors. Sony says it will be ready to speak more about PSVR 2 before 2021's end, but it’s been months since it confirmed the headset's existence. Rumors suggest the PSVR 2 headset will target a higher resolution than rival products like the Oculus Quest 2, as well as a wider field of view and other improvements over the original.
In a post on PlayStation Blog, Sony Interactive Entertainment's Isabelle Tomatis announced PS Plus subscribers will be able to download three free PSVR games in November, which will be offered as additional bonuses with the month's regular lineup. The freebies are part of the company's celebration of the fifth anniversary of PSVR's launch. However, which games will be given away to PS Plus members has yet to be divulged, but a graphic starring PSVR mascot Astro did reveal Rec Room, Beat Saber, PlayStation VR Worlds, Skyrim VR, and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard are the platform's most-played games to date.
The post also spotlights several PSVR developers, a few of which developed some of 2021's best VR games. Many developers say using the headset has helped eliminate some of the problems they normally encounter during production, like design and camera controls. One specific example was provided by Chandana Ekanyake from Outerloop Games, who explains how developing Falcon Age for PSVR required work with an actual falconer to make the game's animations accurate.
Sony has released several PSVR-enabled titles since the release of the PS5 in its monthly PlayStation Plus giveaways, including Star Wars: Squadrons. Adding three new games to PS Plus in November on top of the other unannounced games is likely a nice surprise for PSVR owners. Some could interpret the bonus offerings as the company readying to showcase PSVR 2, as it has alluded to at a few points this year. If that's the case, this could be a prelude to knowing more about the next PlayStation headset and - with luck - when it will release.
Sony’s PSVR support doesn't appear to be slowing five years on. Evidence of this can be found in PlayStation's recent acquisition of Firesprite, which has made several PSVR games in the past. While other companies are making headsets exclusively for PC, PSVR expands the reach of the technology to the console market. With games like Half-Life: Alyx paving the way for the next jump in VR gaming, it can be expected Sony will find more ways to highlight PSVR and PSVR 2 in the near future.
Many popular tabletop RPG systems see dinosaurs show up occasionally as enemies, but a few true dinosaur RPGs are entirely centered around dinos and other marvelous megafauna. These dinosaur RPG systems and settings tell of worlds of prehistoric fantasy, scientific expeditions to forgotten lands, and Jurassic Park-style theme parks where dangerous creatures have just broken free from their cages.
Ever since paleontologists started excavating, studying, and displaying the fossilized remains of creatures from the clade Dinosauria (meaning "terrible lizards"), people have been creating works of fiction where humans get the chance to encounter living dinosaurs. Jules Verne described creatures from the Mesozoic era in the underground setting of Journey to the Center of the Earth. Arthur Conan Doyle placed living dinosaurs and primordial hominids atop an isolated plateau in The Lost World. More recently, Michael Crichton's book series Jurassic Park and its film adaptations envisioned theme parks filled with prehistoric creatures resurrected by genetic engineering, while James Gurney's beautifully illustrated Dinotopia books described an isolated island continent where humans and sentient dinosaurs lived together in a harmonious, decentralized utopia.
The following sci-fi and fantasy tabletop RPGs draw inspiration from these seminal works of dinosaur-focused adventure fiction, while also incorporating more contemporary breakthroughs in paleontology (dinosaurs having feathers, for instance). Fundamentally, each of these dinosaur RPGs leans heavily into the fundamental "coolness" of the prehistoric creatures - and how interesting it would be for humans to be able to fight, flee from, pet, and ride them.
Planegea, a dinosaur-filled fantasy setting for D&D 5e, takes place on a primordial, freshly-formed land of verdant jungles, wild creatures, and wandering hunter-gatherer tribes. It's a twist on the classic Dungeons & Dragons fantasy world, where clerics worship scattered pantheons of small, unfinished gods, wizards tattoo spells onto their skin, and dwarves are partially made of stone. It's also a world chock full of dinosaurs, with tyrannosaurs, pterodactyls, raptors, and other creatures from different epochs of prehistory coexisting in glorious anachronism.
A prehistory adventure setting built around the Cypher RPG system of Monte Cook Games, Predation uses time travel tropes instead of fantasy ones to bring humans and dinosaurs together. In the backstory of Predation, a time-traveling megacorporation called SATI established a colony of humans on Earth during the Cretaceous era, then time travel stopped working, and the temporal colonists were cut off from support and resupply. Players in a game of Predation portray both human descendants of the original colonists and their dinosaur companions as they adventure, scavenge leftover technology, and figure out how they'll survive the huge asteroid destined to hit the planet in the not-too-distant future.
Hollow Earth Expedition is an RPG steeped in 20th-century pulp adventure fiction tropes - including the problematic, colonialist ones, as evidenced by cover art that prominently exotifies stereotypical depictions of Indigenous women. The game draws heavy inspiration from the Pellucidar novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, which take place in a massive space at the center of the Earth filled with ancient civilizations, animals from the depths of prehistory, and mutated creatures with no paleontological basis. Player characters in Hollow Earth Expedition are liable to encounter giant mushroom forests, massive killer worms, cultures descended from ancient Roman legions and 17th-century pirates, mad scientists, Fascist villains practically begging for a fist to the face, and oodles of dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods.
Named after the famous last words of Muldoon in the first Jurassic Park movie, the Clever Girl journaling dinosaur RPG is a pure homage to the series. Each Clever Girl playthrough starts off in a Jurassic Park-style dinosaur theme park, where a group of genetically engineered predators have escaped from their pens. Players adopt either the perspective of humans on the run, forced to choose between risking their lives to help others or playing it safe by leaving them to die, or the perspective of newly freed raptors, hunting down humans for food or revenge.
Garcelle Beauvais from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills thinks the cast put too much faith in Erika Jayne and followed her "blindly." Garcelle has been campaigning for a new cast member she can trust but has yet to be granted one. The mother of two is hoping next season brings her some more allies instead of the same sheep she has been surrounded by for the entirety of RHOBH season 11.
The reality star joined the series for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 10 and was an instant fan-favorite. RHOBH season 11 showed fans a whole new side to Garcelle as she opened up to the ladies. Viewers were upset to see that some of the housewives made the Coming to America star feel unwelcome. Numerous times, the actress divulged that she was meant to feel like an outsider. Garcelle showed a more vulnerable side, leading fans to empathize with her. The entire season, Garcelle stood firm with Sutton Stracke, leading Bravo viewers to call them the VIPs of the series.
Garcelle recently spoke with Page Six, claiming that she felt her fellow 90210 housewives were just following Erika like lost sheep. The 54-year-old shared her confusion as to why some of the women lost their backbone, pointing out that they tried desperately to preserve their relationships with Erika. Garcelle said, "I felt like some people were blindly behind her." The entire season showed the women kowtowing to the "Pretty Mess" singer, but Garcelle and Sutton had a list of questions they wanted answered.
The Real host noted that the questions she wanted answers to were common queries that everybody would have. Garcelle noted that Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna, Crystal Kung Minkoff and Kathy Hilton could often be found gossiping about Erika's latest story. Garcelle even hinted that many of the women talked behind Erika's back but would be extremely sympathetic to her face. Garcelle concluded her observations by saying she knew she wanted to be assertive this past season and felt like she accomplished just that.
The Coming 2 America star bravely asked Erika on their girls' trip if she knew about Tom Girardi's money issues. Erika denied any knowledge, reassuring her friend she was blindsided. Both Erika and Tom were sued for allegedly embezzling funds meant for the victims of Lion Air Flight 610. Erika made it known that she will remember those who stood against her. Maybe Garcelle should be worried, but Bravo fans believe she isn't losing too much sleep over Erika's threats since her bark is usually worse than her bite.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesday at 8pm on Bravo.
Netflix has just renewed their Penn Badgley stalker series Youfor season 4 ahead of the premiere of the show's third season, which is set to debut on October 15. You, which is based on the series of novels by Caroline Kepnes, follows Joe Goldberg (Badgley), a sociopath who falls in love with women and stalks them, leaving a trail of bodies in his path. The series originally ran for one season on the Lifetime network before being picked up by Netflix. You became a more or less immediate hit for the streamer.
Season 2 of You, which premiered in late 2019, followed Joe as he moved from New York City to Los Angeles. He indulged his stalker tendencies once again after meeting Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), a privileged heiress who proves herself more than a match for him. Like many series that premiered around that time, the follow-up season suffered heavy delays from the COVID-19 pandemic, but Youseason 3 wrapped production in April of this year.
Per Deadline, Netflix has already renewed You for a fourth season. Partially because it's too early and partially because it might spoil the events of the third season, no casting announcements have been made yet. However, the one character fans can almost certainly count on returning is Joe Goldberg himself, because there is no You without him.
When it premieres, Youseason 3 will follow Joe and Love during their life as a newly married couple in suburbia. They have moved into the ironically named Northern California community of Madre Linda (which means "Beautiful Mother" in English), where Joe will attempt to curb Love's killer instincts and embrace family life. Unfortunately for him, his next-door neighbor Natalie (Michaela McManus) has piqued his interest, but his usual stalking techniques won't work under Love's watchful eyes. Season 3 will also star Tati Gabrielle, Dylan Arnold, Shalita Grant, Travis Van Winkle, Bryan Safi, and Scott Speedman.
While the second season of You was based largely on the second novel, Hidden Bodies, the ending of the season took the story in an entirely new direction. Season 3 of the series will likely contain elements from the third novel, You Love Me, but it is largely looking to take the series in a completely different direction than the novels. However, season 4 may catch up with what those who read the novels are more familiar with, or else go the Game of Thrones route and further the show's complete divergence from its source material.
A number of HTC Vive Flow images leaked recently and suggest that the upcoming virtual reality headset will have a far more interesting look than the company's previous VR headsets. The images also show that the headset has a surprising amount of depth when it comes to the features being showcased. Taiwanese electronics giant HTC has a history in developing virtual reality hardware that appeals to a wider audience instead of just hardcore tech enthusiasts.
The company unveiled its Vive VR headset lineup more than five years ago, and has released various iterations since then. If there's one thing HTC Vive headsets have in common, it's their futuristic and sometimes bizarre aesthetic. As the concept of VR alone continues to produce shocking results, HTC has continued to make outlandish-looking tech pieces available to the mass market, from its obscurely-shaped Vive Focus to the unique geometrical cut-outs of the Vive Cosmos.
It appears that HTC isn't dropping this trend anytime soon, as leaks of its upcoming Vive Flow headset depict yet another standout set of VR goggles complete with reflective lenses that strangely resemble massive bug-eye sunglasses. Prolific leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks) released the set of promotional images to Twitter, with the materials detailing some of what consumers can expect from the Vive Flow. For example, the leaked images show that the headset itself will retail for $499, with pre-orders starting on October 15 and shipments beginning some time in early November.
The Vive Flow's design certainly has the living room in mind instead of the usual VR cave, with an emphasis on portability. The leaked images show how the headset can project media streamed from a tethered smartphone while using the handset as a remote control. Other features include an “active cooling system” using an internal fan in the center, which could be useful for those planning on wearing the goggles for longer periods, or for those that want to take VR motion to the next level. The images also showcase the Vive Flow's built-in audio system that features “immersive spatial audio,” though it's unclear whether these are utilizing bone conduction technology or just external speakers.
Overall, the Vive Flow is marketed as VR goggles designed for “well-being and mindful productivity” so whether it is an alternative to gaming-focused headsets like the Oculus Quest remains to be seen. Perhaps the HTC Vive Flow will take a more grounded approach in presenting itself as a health and well-being-oriented tool that complements one's lifestyle. If that is the case, it just might be able to break the mold of devices that are typically associated with escapism and isolation, especially given the many potential use cases of VR headsets outside of gaming.
