Prison Architect Dev’s New Game Is a Claustrophobic Departure
Scanner Sombre, the newest game from Introversion Software, has you finding your way through a labyrinthine network of caverns, guided only by scans from a light detection and ranging scanner.
The game is a complete change of tone from Introversion's Prison Architect, which, in spite of its heavy subject matter, was almost a lighthearted sim game.
Creative Director Chris Delay calls it "a total departure" for Introversion.
The goal of Scanner Sombre is to make your way back to the surface in complete darkness. The LIDAR produces a static "neon 3D image" to help you make your way through the oppressive blackness of the underground. However, "not all is as it seems, and you might not be alone."
MCU Will Be ‘Very, Very Different’ After Avengers 4
Whether it's called Phase 4 or not, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to see drastic changes after Avengers 4.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige chatted with Collider about the future for the universe. Though he was tight-lipped about where things go with the untitled Avengers 4, he did hint at a new direction.
"We have an idea, and it’s gonna be very, very different."
Feige even hinted that what would seemingly be called Phase 4 could end up being something entirely new:
"Certainly as we get to Infinity War there is a sense of a climax if not a conclusion to, by the time we’re at untitled Avengers 4, the 22 movies that will have encompassed the first three phases of the MCU
‘No Guarantee’ of Star Trek 4 Being Made
While Spock actor Zachary Quinto is optimistic about Star Trek 4, he admitted there's a chance the follow-up film might not happen.
Speaking on The Today Show (and spotted by SlashFilm), Quinto discussed where things stood with Star Trek 4. "I know that they are working on a script for another one and we’ll see how that all plays out, but the nice thing about that experience is that the time in between those big tentpole films allows us to go off and cultivate a lot of different creative experiences for ourselves.
"… I’m hopeful that we’ll do another one, but there’s no guarantee."
Rosario Dawson Won’t Appear in The Punisher Series
While promoting her latest film, Unforgettable, Rosario Dawson revealed that she won't be making an appearance in Marvel's new Netflix Original series, The Punisher.
Dawson is a regular face, playing the series-bridging nurse, Claire Temple who has so far appeared in every Marvel Netflix show. However, when speaking of the upcoming addition to the streaming service's shows, it appears that Claire Temple won't be making an appearance:
"I really wanted to do a cameo on The Punisher, but it doesn’t always work that way."
When asked about her connecting role in the overall series by Collider, Dawson replied, "I love it! It’s amazing, seeing people’s reactions online."

The Troubling Psychology of Pay-to-Loot Systems
“In behavioural psychology, that randomised system of reward is the one that creates the most addiction,” says Emil Hodzic, who runs the Video Game Addiction Treatment Clinic. “That’s the one that causes all the drama.”
This comment comes from an interview about microtransactions tied to random number generator (RNG) card packs, or what I call “pay-to-loot”. It’s a system that exists beyond genres and irrespective of the price of a game. It’s becoming more common, too. You can find it in Battlefield 1, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Overwatch, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Gears of War 4, Dirty Bomb and Hearthstone, to name a handful of names that constantly arose while researching this piece.
