Amazon’s new Prime Air delivery drone will start dropping off packages ‘within months’
One of Amazon’s most ambitious, if not downright crazy, initiatives appears to be on the cusp of becoming a reality. Amazon earlier today announced a brand new design for its Prime Air delivery drone while also revealing that fleets of drones may begin delivering packages to consumers in just a few months time.
Amazon’s latest drone design can travel up to 15 miles on a single trip and can deliver packages that weigh less than 5 pounds to customers. The new design — which can take off and land vertically — is said to offer up improvements with respect to efficiency, stability, and safety.

This blunt ‘Game of Thrones’ video critique should be playing on loop at HBO HQ
HBO has no choice but to defend the final season of Game of Thrones. But no matter what company executives say about what David Benioff and D.B. Weiss did with season 8, it won’t change how bad the final season was. I’ve said this before many times while talking about all the criticism surrounding season 8 — it’s not what happened with the characters that’s upsetting, but the way it was all presented. The showrunners rushed through the story to get to where they needed to go, sacrificing hours of story that would have made the transition a lot smoother. Not to mention that season 8 is riddled with puzzling choices that ignore logic and common sense, making it hard to defend the series.
If you agree with all that, then you’ll also agree that the video you’re about to watch below perfectly explains everything that’s wrong with Game of Thrones in season 8.

Every free NES game added to Nintendo Switch Online in June 2019
The selection of free NES games for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers has fluctuated rather drastically over the months, but the three “classic” titles being added to the library in June are easily the least exciting we’ve seen since the service launched. I’m honestly not even sure what the highlight of this collection is supposed to be, but I assume it’s Double Dragon II, since it’s the first game that Nintendo listed on the press release.
With E3 2019 just days away, let’s hope that Nintendo has some big news in store for its live stream event, because the company has clearly run out of worthwhile NES games to give away. More than ever, it’s time to expand to SNES games (or even better, N64 games), because this just isn’t going to cut it.
