Bethesda Shows off Fallout 4’s Perk Tree
Bethesda has revealed the entire character perk tree from Fallout 4.
Like in past Fallout games, perks are unlockable character bonuses that give you advantages in different situations. Some are also just for fun.

Unfortunately, the chart isn't labeled, so aside from the ones Bethesda specifically pointed out (check out our gallery below for all 15), we can't see what each and every perk does.

Two Nick Furys Team Up to Save President Obama
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Fury: S.H.I.E.L.D. 50th Anniversary #1!
Nick Fury celebrated the 50th Anniversary of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a big way this week, as he traveled through time and stopped a young Barack Obama from being assassinated.
That story was the focus of Fury: S.H.I.E.L.D. 50th Anniversary #1, the latest in a weekly series of one-shot comics focusing on different S.H.I.E.L.D. characters. Despite the fact that the elder Nick Fury is currently trapped on the Moon after the events of Original Sin, this issue featured a father/son team-up as the younger Fury was dragged back in time to 1965. Even as S.H.I.E.L.D. fought to keep Civil Rights protests from raging out of control, the two Furys teamed up to track down Hate-Monger (a racist villain whose name is pretty self-explanatory).

New A-Team TV Series in Development
20th Century Fox Television is currently developing a reboot of '80s TV action series The A-Team with Fast & Furious writer-producer Chris Morgan.
The new series, according to THR, is to be a "contemporary take" on the old show, which starred George Peppard, Dirk Benedict, Dwight Schultz, and Mr. T as a Special Forces unit on the run for crimes they did not commit. Albert Kim (Nikita, Sleepy Hollow) will write the script while A-Team creator Stephen J. Cannell's daughter, Tawnia McKiernan, is attached to possibly direct.
