Limitless Stars on Brian and Rebecca’s Sibling Dynamic
Tuesday night's new Limitless, “When Pirates Pirate Pirates”, will involve a situation that hits close to home for Brian (Jake McDorman) and Rebecca (Jennifer Carpenter), as Rebecca’s FBI superior Nasreen "Naz" Pouran (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) is detained on suspicion of funding terrorism.
I visited the New York set of Limitless while they were producing “When Pirates Pirate Pirates”, and watched them film a scene in which Brian and Rebecca encounter Naz’s daughter (played by Michelle Veintimilla – recently seen as Firefly on Gotham), who has some surprising information for the duo about her mother.

5 Backwards Compatible Xbox 360 Games You Need to Play
If you haven't heard, over 100 Xbox 360 games are getting backwards compatibility support on Xbox One on November 12.
The full Xbox 360 backwards compatibility list includes bonafide hits like Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed 2, and Fallout 3, but it also includes dozens more games that likely won't get as much love.
We picked out five that you shouldn't forget to play.
Condemned was one of the best launch games on the Xbox 360, with gristly melee combat, genuine scares, and an interesting story about a cop framed for murder. It's not a long campaign and the game only has one mode, which makes it that much easier to experience this great but mostly forgotten survival horror adventure.

Aladdin 4 Scrapped Due to Robin Williams’ Will
A great number of Robin Williams' quips never made it to the final cut of Aladdin - and due to a stipulation in the late actor's will, the unused material can't be used for at least 25 years, meaning that Disney has had to scrap plans for a fourth Aladdin movie.
"When he was on form, the hyperactive motormouth we love from Good Morning Vietnam, Hook, Dead Poets Society and Mrs Doubtfire, Robin was making 30 jokes a minute," a former Disney executive told the Sunday Times. "Now, because he insisted on a final say on such material,

Dark Souls 3 Collector’s Editions Appear Online
Two collectible versions of Dark Souls III have appeared on Western Asia retailer Geekay Games website, a Collector's edition and a more robust Prestige edition.
First spotted by NeoGAF user Maz, the versions include a whole bunch of goodies in addition to the game itself, with the Prestige edition being the better of the two, depending on what and how large you want your collectible statues to be. The Collector's edition contains a 25 cm tall Red Knight figurine, while the Prestige edition comes with a 40 cm Lord of Cinder statue. That's 15 3/4" for those of us not using the metric system.
Aside from the statues, the editions look the same. Both include a metal case, hardcover artbook, game soundtrack, cloth map, and three iron-on patches. Both editions were first spotted at a Geekay Games outlet in Dubai, advertised as available for preorder. The Collector's edition will set you back 500 United Arab Emirates Dirham, while the Prestige edition is 1800 AED. That's roughly $136 USD and $490, respectively.
