Oculus CTO Says He Didn’t Copy VR Code From ZeniMax
The court case brought against Facebook by Bethesda parent company ZeniMax came to a close yesterday, with a Texas jury awarding ZeniMax $500 million. Central to the case was the claim that former ZeniMax employee John Carmack stole code and a tool for working on virtual reality applications, and brought them over to his new job at Oculus VR.
Today Carmack took to Facebook to comment on the ruling, disputing the claims made by ZeniMax's expert witness on the matter of copyright infringement. The witness claimed Carmack "non-literally copied" code written while under the employ of ZeniMax, something Carmack says is "just not true."

This Anime’s Take on Sex and Sexuality Is Painfully Good
About five minutes into Scum’s Wish I knew I needed to watch all available episodes. It’s gorgeous, and its problematic drama is just as captivating. Few anime — or TV shows for that matter — tackle sex and sexuality in high school with as much tact or give its characters as much respect as Scum’s Wish.
Scum’s Wish is about two high schoolers, Hanabi and Mugi, who agree to date each other in an attempt to assuage their passions for the people they can’t date. The two people they’re actually in love with are teachers at their school, and that daily proximity starts to take a toll on the students as the teachers start flirting with each other.
Hear Mark Hamill as Swamp Thing in Justice League Action
Since Batman: The Animated Series debuted 25 years ago, Mark Hamill has memorably provided the voice of DC Comics villain the Joker in many different projects. These days, Hamill is back as Joker in the recently-debuted Justice League Action animated series on Cartoon Network, but he's also adding another DC Comics character to his impressive list of animation credits, as he takes on voicing the role of Swamp Thing.
Hamill's first episode as Swamp Thing, called "Zombie King," airs this Saturday, and IGN has an exclusive clip. See what happens when Solomon Grundy (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) unleashes a horde of zombies, with Swamp Thing ready to fight him. But given the odds, can Swamp Thing stop Grundy and his undead minions on his own?
Star Wars: Hamill Defends Jake Lloyd and the Prequels
Luke Skywalker star Mark Hamill has come forward to defend George Lucas' much-criticized Star Wars prequel films, as well as young Anakin Skywalker actor Jake Lloyd.
"I couldn't believe some of the things they wrote about the prequels," Hamill said in an interview with Vulture, adding that he's "still angry about the way they treated Jake Lloyd" for his performance in Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace.
"He was only ten years old," Hamill continued, noting that Lloyd "did exactly what George
wanted him to do." He also acknowledged the film had "clunky dialogue" and that while he "has issues with George
