Project CARS DLC Support to Continue ‘Well Into 2016’
Project CARS developer Slightly Mad Studios has confirmed the team is fully committed to providing new updates and DLC for Project CARS “well into 2016” and has published a survey in order to collect opinions on the types of vehicles, tracks, and other features that players would most like to see in future updates.
The survey also contains questions about Project CARS 2, which Slightly Mad Studios revealed it has begun work on in June this year.
The questions in the survey cover a number of topics, ranging from the types of features fans find most important to the types of cars classes players would like to see more of. Several of the questions contain references to licences known to currently reside with other developers but it seems Slightly Mad is keen get a broad idea of what players crave most, regardless of whether it’s entirely possible at this stage.
Free Post-Launch Content Comes to Broforce
Broforce developer Free Lives has today confirmed a glut of free, new content has arrived in the recently released Broforce, which the South African studio confidently describes as “the world’s premiere Freedom Simulator.”
The update adds two new lightning-wielding bros: The Brolander, and the thunder god Broden (both inspired by characters brought to life on the big screen by Christopher Lambert). The update also adds new tactical items (including “All-American Supply Drops” for a red, white, and blue mech when you need it, alien pheromones to distract xenomorphs, and performance enhancing ‘vitamins’ for a little extra oomph).
Ranking the Hunger Games Movies
As Gale told Katniss in the first Hunger Games film, "They just want a good show. That's all they want." And, overall, that's exactly what fans of the best-selling book series got with the movie adaptations.
Now that the cinematic saga of Katniss Everdeen is over, we look back at the blockbuster franchise and rank its four entries from the weakest film to the strongest.
How would you rank the Hunger Games movies? Let us know in the Comments!
Due to its narrow focus on Katniss and President Snow, Mockingjay, Part 2 missed the opportunity to land some of its more emotional and resonant scenes despite solid performances from its impressive cast. While Part 1 managed to elevate its source material and translate difficult concepts about war into an accessible story, Part 2 was so grounded in its need to respect the burden on Katniss's shoulders that it comes across as too somber and heavy. The story plays relatively straightforward, offering up a relatively satisfying conclusion to The Hunger Games that never inspires the same wonder as its more engaging predecessors.

Blomkamp’s Alien 5 Would Have Brought Back Newt
Neill Blomkamp's indefinitely delayed 'Alien 5' would have brought back kid survivor Newt, says actor Michael Biehn.
Biehn, whose character Corporal Hicks was featured in Blomkamp's early concept art, opened up to iconsoffright on the studio politics behind the delay and the film's basic plot outline.
"The basic idea is acting like Alien 3 and 4 never existed," Biehn said, before addressing Ridley Scott's Promethus 2 (now called Alien: Covenant). "I know Ridley Scott is doing his movie first and is going to be the executive producer on this one, so I’m really looking forward to that. I know that Ridley’s focus is on the second Prometheus and I’m sure that he and Fox both don’t want that and Neill’s movie to come out right next to each other, because they’re kind of two different worlds, with Aliens taking place thousands of years later, which is how they explained it all to me, but at the same time, they want to give them a similar feel."
The 100: Season 3 to Debut With Legends of Tomorrow
Besides releasing a cool new trailer for Legends of Tomorrow, the CW have also officially announced the midseason premiere date for both that new series and The 100: Season 3, while shifting a couple other shows on their schedule.
As first reported last week, Legends of Tomorrow will debut on Thursday, January 21st at 8:00pm. That same night, The 100’s third season will debut at 9:00pm, creating a new sci-fi lineup for the CW.
CW Orders More Episodes of iZombie and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
The CW has ordered more episodes of both iZombie and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend for the current season.
As reported by Deadline, the network has ordered six more episodes of iZombie, bringing its second season up to a count of 19. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend will produce an additional five episodes, for a total of 18 episodes for its first season.
While neither show will air a full 22-episode season, with only 10 timeslots to fill each week, the CW looks to be doing a lot more switching up of their schedule in order to accommodate their various series, including Legends of Tomorrow and The 100 debuting in January.
Felicia Day Joins Mystery Science Theater 3000 Cast
After achieving its goal in just a few days, the crowd-funded revival of Mystery Science Theater 3000 has added Felicia Day to its growing cast.
In addition to an announcement on the project's Kickstarter page, Day confirmed her involvement in a post on Twitter, revealing her role as the daughter of Dr. Clayton Forrester, Kinga.
Big New Legends of Tomorrow Trailer Has More DC Teases
Check out The CW's new trippy, time-hopping trailer for DC's Legends of Tomorrow - which premieres January 21st.
Here you'll see The Atom, Firestorm, White Canary, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, Hawkman, and Hawkgirl get recruited by Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) to take down the immortal Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) on a time-traveling adventure that somehow gets screwed up. Making Hunter say "If you'd only listen to me about the dangers of upsetting the timeline!" And insisting that they now have more to worry about than just Savage.
In particular, it's Savage's line about "Men of Steel" and "Dark Knights" that sounds off more than a few alarms - indicating that these characters at least do (or will) exist, in some form, in the Arrow and Flash TV universe, even if we can't see them onscreen.
Jurassic World, TMNT Toys Among 2015’s Most Dangerous Toys
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' "Leonardo's Electronic Stealth Sword" and Jurassic Park World's "Velociraptor Claws" have made the list of 2015's most dangerous toys.
World Against Toys Causing Harm—also known as W.A.T.C.H—released the list in hopes that it will urge parents away from buying (what they deem) harmful toys during the holiday season.
Leonardo's sword made the list for encouraging children "to engage in a 'Ninja Battle,'" citing that blade has the potential for causing "facial or impact injuries."
The dinosaur hands are on the list for a similar reason—W.A.T.C.H. does not condone raptor-like behavior in four year old children. The packaging, they write, does not list any warnings "regarding the potential for eye and facial injuries."
