Celebrating in retro fashion.
Pokemon Go is celebrating April Fool's Day by switching to 8-bit graphics, which players can experience in the game starting today.
"Experience Pokemon Go like never before with cutting-edge 8-bit graphics!" an announcement post on the game's official website humorously reads. "Registering approximately twice the definition of 4K, the chunky squares of each pixel provide realistic detail and unbelievable definition."
Check out the slideshow below for a look at the 8-bit aesthetic:
Pokemon Go's 8-bit style isn't the only recent addition to Niantic Labs' augmented reality mobile game. Earlier this week, the mythical Pokemon Mew was added to the game through a new quest system.
Head over to IGN's Pokemon Go wiki guide for everything you need to know as you continue your quest to catch them all.

Agents of SHIELD Reveals Earth's Destruction has a Surprising Link to Captain America
Will Coulson and Hale team up for a possible Infinity War tie-in?
This week's episode of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, "Rise and Shine," took us straight into the heart of the entire season - the fated destruction of Earth itself - while also filling us in on Hydra's sinister schemes post-first Avengers movie.
In a busy, bustling episode, that also included our first look at Yo-Yo with her robotic arms from the comics, we learned that it was, in fact, Daisy Johnson who destroyed the world in the future timeline where our heroes spent the first half of the season. But not just any Daisy...a Daisy who'd been turned into a super-soldier via special infusion chamber designed by Daniel Whitehouse.
In flashbacks, we watched Hale grow up in a sort of secret underground Hydra academy - the lair where she and her daughter Ruby now operate from - under the tutelage of Whitehall and the scorn of classmate Wolfgang von Strucker (also baby Sitwell was awesome!). There she would learn that, despite getting top marks, she'd be used as the surrogate mother for an offspring perfectly designed for the chamber.
Yep, a lot of information flew in out faces this week. After the Chitauri invasion, Hydra reached out to the stars and made an alliance with an alien horde called "The Confederacy" in exchange for protection against some type of oncoming "war." Is this Agents of SHIELD's way of possibly tying into Avengers: Infinity War? Perhaps. We don't know much about the supposed upcoming incursion other than the fact that there are "war ships."
Regardless, Hale now has reservations against Ruby becoming the first person since Steve Rogers to successfully undergo super-soldier treatment. She actually agreed with Coulson that Ruby lacked "heart." She wants it to be Quake and she wants the ashes of Hydra to team up with the remnants of SHIELD for a stand against the Confederacy (with the intention being that they double-cross them once the "war" is over).
It's a lot to take in, yes, but all of this also really helps shape Season 5 as a whole. The looming alien battle (which could possibly be the Kree assault Kasius spoke of) is the reason Daisy gets overloaded with power. She always wondered how she could ever become an actual "destroyer of worlds" and it all goes back to Cap.
However, given Ruby's disdain for her mother (which she seemed to share with Alex), her lack of Rogers' heart, and her "kill your idol" obsession with Daisy, it feels like she's going to try and usurp the super-solider throne. She's going to cut in line and get all up in that chamber and then become uber-powerful. Of course, that wouldn't explain how she'd automatically get the ability to quake things apart, but it just seems like she's not going to take too kindly to getting passed over for the thing she was specifically created for.
So what did you all think? "Rise and Shine" had a lot going on. We saw where Talbot's been this whole time, Simmons told Fitz about Deke being their grandson, Peter Mensah popped up as that shadowy Confederacy alien, Qovas - it was a very important hour. Most importantly though, how do you think the Earth won't blow up? How does it get thwarted? And when that happens, do we lose Deke? Simmons seems strangely confident that she and Fitz are a surefire hit when everyone's currently trying to stop the earth from cracking open. Deke only gets born in a timeline where the world spilts into shards.

The Best (and the Worst) TV Revivals
Twin Peaks, X-Files, Doctor Who, and more.
With retro-vertigo in full swing and everything old becoming new again, it's time to look at some of the best (and worst) TV show revivals.
With Roseanne circling back to ABC on March 27th, and the entire cast returning to the fold after almost 30 years, it seems as though networks are looking more to the past for potential modern-era hits. Will & Grace just found its way back to NBC after 11 years away, American Idol took a few years off before switching from FOX to ABC, and CBS has five-time Emmy winner Candice Bergen coming back for a new Murphy Brown series.
Keep in mind, we're looking at revivals here. So what's the difference between a revival and - say - a reboot? Well, a revival is the show coming back with all, or most, of the original cast intact (if not, in the very least, the lead roles). It's a years-later sequel featuring the actors you once loved playing the roles you loved them in. A reboot is, well, not that.
Now a "reboot-quel?" That's a whole other can o' worms.
Revival's the name of the game here and there've been quite a few of them these days. Not all of them good, but many of them great. Flip through the slideshow for a look at the best of the bunch (and a few of the worst).
Are you looking forward to the new Roseanne? We bet someone will say "fake news!" and it'll be hilarious.
Seriously though, what do you think of beloved shows coming back for an encore? Do you welcome the updates or would you prefer to let the dead rest in peace? Let us know below.

Finding the perfect computer desk for your glorious PC gaming set up is an important, and oft-overlooked, part of PC gaming ascension. If you spend your gaming time enjoying the smooth frame rates and high-resolution textures only a PC can provide, why nestle it in anything less than the best desk for gaming? We've scoured the internet to find some great choices to fit both your living space and your full-sized tower. These are 6 of the best computer desks for gaming - at any budget range.
TL;DR: These are the best desks for PC gaming:
- ApexDesk Elite Series Adjustable Standing Desk
- Soges 55" Computer Desk
- OSP Designs Prado Complete L-Workstation
- Atlantic Gaming Desk
- Arozzi Arena Gaming Desk
Sometimes you just need to stretch your legs, and studies show sitting down for long periods is not good for your health. With the Apex Elite, that problem is solved since it can be converted to a standing platform just by reaching down and pressing a button. It's 71" across so you can even fit your battlestation on top, and/or a massive widescreen display. It holds up to 235lbs. too so it can handle all your gear and your figurine collection. Just make sure your cords are all long enough to not become unplugged when it's in standing mode.
Sometimes you just want something basic for your monitor, keyboard, a pair of speakers, and some knick knacks. Soges 55" desk fits the bill, and at 55" long and 23.6" deep it can hold a big monitor and a full-size keyboard too. It's available in four different particle board finishes, at just $89 it's a smokin' deal. It's also available in a 47" size too if you're looking for something a bit more compact.
Best L-Shaped Desk - Office Star Prado Complete
Not all gaming desks have to be flashy or extravagant, and the Prado Complete L workstation has that in mind with its elegant and simple L-shaped design. This lets you install the extension on either side so you can reach whatever is there easily if you're right-or-left handed, and you can even buy an extra cabinet to throw under the main desk area too. It's perfect for a setup with a desktop as the main and a laptop on the side, or your printer and figurine collection.
Forget everything you think you know about desks, because the Atlantic Gaming Desk is here to disrupt the desk landscape with its wireframe design and efficient use of space. Here's a hypothetical situation: you're playing a PC game with your very expensive RGB mouse and keyboard, but you're also extremely thirsty. Sound familiar? You don't want to risk ruining everything you own by accidentally spilling a drink, so rather than place a cold beverage on your desktop, you suffer low-grade dehydration. Your K/D ratio? Kiss it goodbye. With the Atlantic Gaming Desk you'll never have to suffer since it has a place to store a drink, away from the sensitive and expensive electronics you know and love. After you've quenched your thirst you can also store your headset on the side of it as well.
The Arozzi Arena is designed for folks who are rocking multiple monitors, giving you plenty of space to run two or three panels. It's also 31" deep, so you'll have room to bring the keyboard to where your fingers are while leaving some room for the monitors too. The Arena even includes a mouse pad surface, so you'll never run out of space for your mouse either, and it's waterproof. This sucker is expensive at $450, but it's the type of desk you can buy and never have to upgrade ever again. It's even available with different color legs including lime green, blue, white (shown) and of course, all-black.
