Usually we title these kinds of guides "everything you need to know about XYZ show." But HBO's Westworld isn't easily summed up or explained.

Well, this isn't terribly surprising.

More specifically, the hackers made off with "thousands of Home Box Office (HBO) internal company documents". That's bad.

The Mother of Recaps is back for another week. And with an episode title like that, we know it's going to be juicy. Maybe even literally. Who knows what Cersei is capable of at this stage?

Game of Thrones episode 2 ups the ante with the drama and action this week. And despite the episode name, it isn't all about Daenerys. Let's dive in, shall we?

The wait is finally over: on July 17, the seventh season of HBO's award-winning fantasy series Game Of Thrones will premiere around the world. It promises to be the most action-packed season yet, with the Starks, Lannisters, Targaryens and White Walkers all marching towards their penultimate endgames.

Here at the Lifehacker office we love a good old fashioned tipping comp. But we're also a bunch of nerds, so rather than betting on football teams, we guess who will be the next character to die on Game of Thrones. Here's how you can set a comp up for your own mates and co-workers.

Foxtel from Telstra is about to get more expensive with the telco announcing new pricing for its sports and Platinum HD packages. The price hike kicks in tomorrow and affects some (but not all) existing customers. Let's take a look at the damage.

The entire plot of Game of Thrones Season 7 may have already leaked, and it's not expected to return to HBO until next winter. Here's a few simple things you can do to avoid spoilers until then.
