Netflix announces release date for ‘The Umbrella Academy’

Full steam ahead for the Netflix’s adaptation of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s The Umbrella Academy. It’ll be hitting the streaming service the day after Valentine’s in 2019 (February 15, 2019) and as mentioned, it’s going to be based on the Dark Horse comics series by My Chemical Romance’s front man and the Brazilian comic book artist. The story follows an estranged family of siblings with superhuman abilities who need to solve the murder of their father Reginald Hargreeves.

Developed by Steven Blackman (Altered Carbon, Fargo), Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy stars Ellen Page, Mary J. Blige, Tom Hopper, Cameron Britton, Robert Sheehan, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Adam Godley, Aidan Gallagher, David Castañeda, John Magaro, Ashley Madekwe, and Colm Feore.

There will be over 50 unique weapons for ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’

There will be many ways you can kill things in the upcoming open-world western game Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar Games just tweeted that there will be over 50 different weapons to choose from. The first game, Red Dead Revolver, had 28 different weapons. Meanwhile, Red Dead Redemption had 36, but this came after the DLC. And as Comicbook.com speculates, if Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the route of adding weapons post-launch, we might get over 60 weapons when it comes out—and this might just be from the single player campaign. Red Dead Online might have more.

If you want to read what Red Dead Redemption 2 is about, here’s the official synopsis: "America, 1899. The end of the Wild West era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him." Red Dead Redemption 2 will launch on October 26 via the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

A large number of Android devices won’t be able to run Google Chrome soon

A recent commit for Google Chrome suggests at least 32 million Android devices won’t be able to use the mobile browser soon. The API level for the Chrome mobile browser will be raised from 4.1 to 4.4, so this means those devices that still run on Android Jelly Bean will not be able to use Chrome. Based on the latest figures, Jelly Bean is still used on 3.2% of Android devices and if there are roughly one billion phones and tablets using Google’s open source mobile OS, this means it can possibly affect 32 million devices. But then again, it might be time for an upgrade. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean first came out on July 10, 2012, while the first stable version of Chrome on mobile came out on June 27, 2012.
