Why You Can’t Play as a Woman in Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
In an interview with IGN, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Director Hiromasa Shikata said the story for the upcoming co-op 3DS game is the reason players cannot play as a female avatar.
Zelda: Tri Force Heroes tasks up-to-three players to work together fight monsters, solve puzzles, and gather materials to make outfits. The co-op concept bears some similarities to Monster Hunter, and to some degree MMOs, but Shikata explained outfits would have an additional benefit: They give you new abilities or enhance items and weapons.
“Goron garb allows you to go through lava, the Kokiri suit will allow you to shoot three arrows, “ he said. The different costumes can change the way players approach each stage and, according to Shikata, the element of matching your outfit to the stage you're about to enter is a really unique feature of this game.

Why It Matters if a Fictional Character Is Gay
Director Says No Back to the Future Remake
Back to the Future director Robert Zemeckis is adamant that his classic film trilogy will never have a remake in his lifetime.
“Oh, God no,” he told the Telegraph when asked about the possibility. “I mean, to me, that’s outrageous. Especially since it’s a good movie. It’s like saying ‘Let’s remake Citizen Kane. Who are we going to get to play Kane?’ What folly, what insanity is that? Why would anyone do that?”
Co-writer and co-rights holder Bob Gale agrees with Zemeckis, and both claim they'll never sign off on a remake as long as they live. Zemeckis is hopeful that his estate will find a way to block its production even after his eventual death.

Suicide Squad Director Hires Therapist to be On Set
It's no secret that DC villains are notoriously twisted and plagued with a severe range of mental issues due to one factor or another. And, because they'll be the embodiment of various characters in this superhero rogues gallery, Suicide Squad director David Ayer has hired an on-site therapist to help keep his actors grounded.
"We kind of have like a therapist on board if you fall off the wagon and really are villainous," Slipknot actor Adam Beach told E Online. "There's a friend of

What Is 4K, Anyway?
At this year's CES, you couldn't go anywhere without running into 4K displays. LG, Sharp, Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony all featured 4K TVs as part of their press conferences; other companies like TCL and Haier had them spread so thickly over their booths, it almost appeared at first glance that 4K TVs were their only product at the show. PC monitor manufacturers also were on the bandwagon—at every appointment I had with monitor vendors, there was at least one if not several 4K monitors in each company's 2015 lineup.
Since then, mentions of 4K have been popping up everywhere, be it Vizio’s further lowering of 4K TV prices, support for it in games like Grand Theft Auto 5 and The Witcher 3, or cell phones that don’t really need the extra pixel density. So you might be asking: Do I need 4K? And, more importantly, what the heck is it, exactly?
