Total War: Warhammer Will be Bigger and Better than Ever Before
The idea of having a fantastical entry in the Total War series isn’t a new one. It’s been around for years, in fact, but a number of factors have conspired to keep Creative Assembly from ever truly being able to commit to such an idea. The studio’s commitment to putting out a purely historical title every three years coupled with resources always meant such a concept looked set to remain a pipe dream. Until, that is, Games Workshop came knocking back in 2012.
Sitting down with Andy Hall, lead writer for the upcoming Total War: Warhammer, it’s clear Creative Assembly isn’t taking the prospect of finally realising one of its dreams lightly. The added attention brought about by a massive license like Warhammer would daunt many but, thankfully, CA seems to be taking this in its stride. A prime example of this is in the hiring of Hall himself, who spent the last 15 years at Games Workshop writing the lore books now being used by the team as reference.
Valve, Bad Robot Team Up for Team Fortress 2 Game Mode
Valve has revealed a brand new mode for Team Fortress 2 dubbed PASS Time, which was conceived by production company Bad Robot (Star Trek Into Darkness, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens) and co-developed with Texas-based Escalation Studios.
PASS Time, which is available now in beta, combines Team Fortress 2’s competitive shooter gameplay with elements of several more traditional sports, like football, hockey, and basketball. Coordinated passing, teamwork, and solid defensive plays will reportedly be crucial if you plan on scoring more goals than your opponents. You can discover more details on the mode on the Team Fortress 2 site.
NASA Says There is No Asteroid Threatening to Hit Earth
A viral false asteroid report that claims an asteroid will impact Earth near Puerto Rico sometime between September. 15 and 28, 2015 is not true, NASA states.
"There is no scientific basis —not one shred of evidence — that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates," said Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object office at the JPL, in a statement.

NASA's Near-Earth Object Observations Program says All known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids have less than a 0.01 percent chance of slamming into Earth in the next 100 years.

Nintendo’s QOL Device ‘Probably Dead,’ Says Analyst
While Nintendo has said it plans to launch its Quality of Life platform early next year, a number of analysts believe the company is quietly pushing the project aside in favor of its new focus on the mobile game market.
"I think it’s been pushed to the back burner," IDC research director Lewis Ward told Fortune. "It’s supposed to be released in the U.S. by the end of March
, but I haven’t heard anything. …
I do think Nintendo has always had an interest in ‘Blue Ocean’ markets and health care and the intersection with their hardware and their software is something they’ve viewed as an opportunity."
