Making a Murderer: Brendan Dassey Decision Upheld
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago has upheld a federal judge's decision to overturn the murder conviction of Brendan Dassey, one of the subjects of Netflix's Making a Murderer documentary series.
As BBC reports, Dassey and his uncle, Steven Avery, were found guilty of the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach. Following the trial in 2007, both men were sentenced to life in prison. However, Dassey's conviction was overturned last August on the grounds that his confession was coerced.
Judge Dredd TV Series May Include ‘Dark Fantasy Elements’
Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley recently shared a few details about the Judge Dredd TV series, saying he'd love to see it explore "dark fantasy elements."
In addition, Kingsley told SFX Magazine (via GamesRadar) the series "will combine the macabre with the insane and the light-hearted." He added, "
a big place, after all, with 400 million stories to tell."
Kingsley also addressed how the TV format will allow for a new type of storytelling within the Judge Dredd universe, saying, "Long-form storytelling makes showing Mega-City One and its inhabitants much easier. Trying to fit all of that into a two-hour movie is very hard."

Rockstar Comments on GTA 5 Single-Player Mods
Rockstar issued a statement on its support page regarding single-player mods for Grand Theft Auto V. Recently, Rockstar's parent company Take-Two recently issued cease-and-desist letters to some GTA V modding tool makers.
However, Take-Two now says it "generally will not take legal action against third-party projects involving Rockstar’s PC games," as long as the mods are for single-player, non-commercial use, and don't infringe on "the intellectual property rights of third parties."
Take-Two will still seek out mods in violation of those conditions, with particular note made in regards to mods designed for "multiplayer or online services."
In the case of OpenIV's shutdown, Take-Two was working to put a lid on "malicious mods that allow harassment of players and interfere with the GTA Online experience for everybody," according to a statement from Rockstar to IGN earlier this month.

RAM Kits for Your Next PC Build
When building a gaming PC, it can be a difficult choice when selecting which RAM kit to go with. Should you go for the cheapest? The fastest? It largely depends on your budget, your overclocking intentions, and what your CPU cooler allows. To help you decide here are a few popular RAM kits for those that are on a budget, and those who are building a rig powerful enough to cool a nuclear silo. It is crucial to remember that in order for your PC to fully utilize faster RAM, you need to ensure that both your motherboard AND your CPU can fully take advantage of memory with higher clock speeds. Spending some extra money on 3200Mhz RAM is completely pointless if your motherboard only supports 2400Mhz.
