Super Mario Maker Wallpaper Tool Is Almost Like the Real Game
So here's a super cool thing: Nintendo has put up a version of the Super Mario Maker level creator to create your own desktop and mobile wallpapers.
If you head on over to this site the Japanese (though pretty intuitive) instructions will ask you to select either a desktop monitor or phone. From there you can select your device's resolution or model, and get to work making a static version of your own level.
The Magicians Cast Preview Plenty of Danger and Excitement
The Magicians debuted last Monday on Syfy, giving viewers a TV adaptation of Lev Grossman’s series about a university for magic -- the main characters are college-aged in the series, but graduate students in the series -- where newcomer Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) encounters a whole new world and some very ominous threats.
On a visit to the impressive Vancouver sets of The Magicians in December, shortly before production wrapped on the season, I spoke to cast members Olivia Taylor Dudley (“Alice”), Arjun Gupta (“Penny”) and Summer Bishil (“Margo Hanson” – changed from “Janet” in the books) to discuss the series. The cast members spoke about their characters and their abilities and how the show is delving into some decidedly adult topics – whether it be some shocking violence or, eventually, a threesome scene familiar to fans of the books (which is to say, some spoilers from the books follow!).

Starting Dates Revealed for Avatar 2 and Wolverine 3
Avatar 2 shooting looks to begin in April in New Zealand, while Wolverine 3 also aims to begin production in the same month in New Orleans and New Mexico.
My Entertainment World has listed the starting dates for the two blockbusters alongside other big-name films. The Avatar 2 starting month is intriguing, since the James Cameron film still lacks a firm release date.
Wolverine 3 is set to hit March 3, 2017, and will see Hugh Jackman reprise his role as the titular mutant.
9 Most Anticipated MMORPGs of 2016
There's a lot of awesome games to look forward to in 2016, but don't let all that buzz make you overlook one genre worth paying attention to this year. Spread between massive crowdfunding campaigns and smaller indie projects, MMORPGs are on the cusp of big changes to the familiar formula we've all come to know. And, fortunately for you, we've rounded up some of the most promising MMORPGs that are worth keeping an eye on this year.
If the growing mountain of money that Star Citizen has received through crowdfunding isn't a big enough reason to be interested, then looking over the proposed features of the game would probably do the trick. By combining multiple genres together, Star Citizen is looking to take MMOs to bold new frontiers with its blend of sophisticated space combat, first-person shooting, and deep economic and social simulation.
Persona 5 Outfit Found in Persona 4: Dancing All Night
A Persona 5-inspired outfit has been found hidden in the game data for Persona 4: Dancing All Night.
User ShrineFox on the Amicitia forum (via PersonaCentral) uploaded data from the game online over the weekend, and Twitter user regularpanties then uncovered the costume, which bears a strong resemblance to Velvet Room resident Caroline’s outfit from Persona 5.

Panthers Will Win Super Bowl 50, According to Madden NFL
The Carolina Panthers will beat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50, according to Madden NFL 16.
The annual Madden simulation predicts Cam Newton and the Panthers will take down Peyton Manning and the Broncos by a score of 24-20. Newton will be crowned the game's MVP after 216 yards and one touchdown. Broncos' Demaryius Thomas will be the game's top wide receiver with six receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown.
What's most interesting is the simulation has the Panthers up by 17-0 at the half, losing the lead to a Broncos' comeback, but still wining on a last second run by Newton. Maybe we're in for a nail-biter come Sunday night.
Just how accurate is the annual prediction? According to EA Sports, the simulation has guessed nine of the last twelve championships correctly, even nailing the 28-24 score in the Patriots' victory over the Seahawks. What's even more impressive is last year's simulation came very close to calling Tom Brady and Julian Edelman's final stats, and even called the Patriots' fourth-quarter comeback.
