Fully Charged: Telltale’s Game of Thrones gets second season, and Facebook will hide your ex

Telltale’s Game of Thrones continues

Telltale Games put its winning episodic game approach to great use on Game of Thrones over the past year, and just days after concluding the six-part first season, the developer has confirmed that a second season is in the works. However, there’s no word yet on when to expect its debut.

"The questions left on the table at the conclusion of season one – who survived and who didn’t – as well as all the other choices you made play a huge role in the second season," says Telltale CEO and co-founder Kevin Bruner to The Hollywood Reporter. "We’ve been planning the second season all along, but I really shouldn’t be revealing more than that."

The first season conclusion seemed purposefully unresolved, which was admittedly a bit unsatisfying in the short-term, but made it clear that a second season was intended. Given the popularity of the series and the generally strong reception to the game, that’s no surprise. And we’re looking forward to seeing how the narrative threads pan out in the next set.

Facebook will hide your ex

Going through a tough breakup? Don’t unfriend or stop following your former lover on Facebook – let Facebook do the work for you. Late last week, the company announced that it is "testing tools to help people manage with their former partners on Facebook after a relationship had ended."

In other words, Facebook will more or less hide your ex from your social networking life. When you change your relationship status to single, Facebook will prompt you to see less of your ex-lover, as well as limit how much your stuff they see and who can see past shared posts. Facebook has started rolling out the feature in the States on mobile to start, and they’ll monitor how people respond. Positively, we hope.

Microsoft makes Android switching app

Microsoft has been porting most of its top mobile apps to Android and iOS, as well as releasing totally new apps that weren’t first on Windows Phone. Still, here’s a surprising twist: the company just released an Android app, called AppComparison, that shows you which of your installed apps are also on Windows Phone or have similar rivals. You know, in case you want to switch.

To a Windows Phone. In case you want to switch to a Windows Phone. From Android. Yeah… we’re not sure that spotlighting the Windows mobile’s weakest element by far is the best way to sell the platform. In any case, the app is racking up loads of negative reviews from Android owners, much like Apple’s Move to iOS app did. So at least that part is totally expected.
