The Westworld TV Series Nobody Talks About
HBO’s Westworld is everywhere. It’s on billboards and computer screens, in articles from just about every publication you can think of, and theories about what could possibly happen next are filling every social media platform and message board. Whether you love the series or not, it’s enough to make us all wonder if we’ll ever get BEYOND Westworld… which is pretty ironic, since we already got a TV series call Beyond Westworld way back in 1980.
Yes, 36 years before HBO got the incredible idea to turn a futuristic amusement park full of realistic and increasingly self-aware robots into a mystery-laden, high-concept and super expensive television series, CBS tried to turn Michael Crichton’s Westworld into a television show about robots infiltrating football teams and rock bands.
World of Demons: Platinum’s Latest Pits Samurai Against Folktale Creatures in a Gorgeous Japanese Setting
The world is aflame. Fires burn all around and the ground glows red, but my attention is consumed by something else: the demon Kuma Doji, towering in front of me, wielding a scythe so large that my katana feels like a toothpick by comparison.
He leaps up high into the air, weapon raised, but just as he swings ferociously down I evade to the side, kicking the scene into slow-motion and allowing me to splash a great gash of black ink across the screen. I dance away from the ice pillars that spring up all around and trigger a special ability, calling on one of my equipped yokai, a sickle-wielding weasel called kama-itachi, to let me attack from range. The boss falls, showering the ground with loot, and I sit back to think about my first taste of a mobile title from PlatinumGames.

Malware-Infected Minecraft Skins Were Available on Official Website
Until recently, skins containing malware were available to download on the official Minecraft website, Minecraft.net. It's estimated that almost 50,000 users have been infected as a result.
As revealed by cybersecurity firm Avast, the malware was delivered inside PNG files used to apply new Minecraft avatar skins. Avast points out that by being distributed through the official Minecraft site, even warnings that the files were infected could be treated by users as a mistake.
The included malware is "designed to reformat hard-drives and delete backup data and system programs", and can send messages to infected users' email inboxes, like the charming: “You Are Nailed, Buy A New Computer This Is A Piece Of S**t”.
The Weirdest Superman TV Series Ever
Superman celebrates his 80th anniversary this week, and while it’s obviously the perfect opportunity to relive the important events in this beloved pop culture icon’s life, it’s also the perfect time to remember that one time when he was a nightmare dog who worked for the Daily Bugle in a live-action television series called The Adventures of Superpup.
Let’s back up. The year was 1958, and after six years, The Adventures of Superman was still a lucrative television series. George Reeves starred as the title character, a handsome and moral hero who fought mad scientists and mole people on a regular basis, and who was impervious to bullets but always seemed to duck out of the way when bad guys threw their guns at him out of frustration.
