Scientists in Illinois' Fermilab are studying the physics of a muon particle in their Muon g-2 experiment that seems to break our current models of physics, or at least extend physics beyond the standard model followed in virtually everything here on Earth. This news comes by way of a BBC News report that explains the current model of physics forces felt on earth, which are "gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force, and the weak force," are not necessarily being followed in an experiment on a special muon particle. This "provides strong evidence for the existence of an undiscovered sub-atomic particle or new force," the UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council said, according to the BBC News report. [caption id="attachment_2497047" align="alignnone" width="720"] Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, Photo Credit: Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory[/caption] "We have found the interaction of muons are not in agreement with the Standard Model (the current widely accepted theory to explain how the building blocks of the Universe behave)," lead scientist on the muon experiment, Mark Lancaster, told BBC News. According to The New York Times, physicists are saying the muon not following Earth's standard laws of physics might be influence from, "forms of matter and energy that are not yet known to science, but which may nevertheless affect the nature and evolution of the universe." Physicists aren't yet sure if the evidence is definitive enough, though. The statistical level of confidence for the experiment is at a 4.1 sigma, with sigmas being the measures of confidence scientists use to determine if something is a fluke or not, and a 5 simga is needed to call this evidence definitive, or in other words, "claim a discovery," according to BBC News. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/02/scientists-theoretically-develop-physical-warp-drives"] Just outside of Chicago, in Batavia, Illinois, scientists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab, are subjecting muon particles, which are like electrons but 207 times bigger, to "an intense magnetic field," according to the New York Times, and the result is surprising: the muons are wobbling like spinning tops in such a way that the laws of physics known to Earth cannot explain the phenomenon. The BBC reports that the muons should wobble at a certain rate when subjected to the magnetic field inside the Fermilab's particle accelerator. That rate is determined by the laws of physics as Earth knows them. However, the muons didn't wobble at that rate at all — they wobbled faster, and physicists say this increased rate could be caused by a force of nature currently unknown and undiscovered. Did science just unintentionally solve Christopher Nolan's ambiguous ending to Inception? [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-25-best-sci-fi-movies&captions=true"] This potential new force of nature might explain some of the universe's biggest mysteries, such as the mystery of why the expansion of the universe is speeding up. It's been previously attributed to something known as "dark energy," according to BBC News, but perhaps it's not dark energy at all and instead, an unknown force of nature at play. "It is quite mind boggling," BBC's Sky at Night co-presenter, Maggie Aderin-Pocock, told BBC News. "It has the potential to turn physics on its head. We have a number of mysteries that remain unsolved, and this could give us the key answers to solve these mysteries."

Twitch has announced an updated set of guidelines it plans to use to address hateful conduct and harassment aimed at community members that happens off of its own platform.

The update is an expansion of Twitch’s previous guidelines for off-platform harassment, which are now split into two categories.

“Category one: Someone is harassed on Twitch, as well as off Twitch. When this happens, we will take into account verifiable, off-service behaviors or statements that relate to an incident that took place on Twitch. For example: if we’re reviewing a harassment report about an incident that happened live on stream, related or continued harassment on Twitter could be taken into account when reported to us. This is how our current off-service policy works in the vast majority of cases, and will not change.

“Category two: We will now enforce against serious offenses that pose a substantial safety risk to the Twitch community, even if these actions occur entirely off Twitch."

Twitch states that category two violations include threats of mass violence or acts of violence, membership in a hate group, sexual exploitation of children/child grooming, and more. You can read Twitch’s blog post for the full list. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/20/the-twitch-streamer-whos-reinventing-the-platform"]

“These behaviors represent some of the most egregious types of physical and psychological harm, but we understand that this list is not inclusive of all types of harassment and abuse,” Twitch stated. “Taking action against misconduct that occurs entirely off our service is a novel approach for both Twitch and the industry at large, but it’s one we believe—and hear from you—is crucial to get right. Part of that means being clear with you about the limitations of our policy. At this time, we’re not able to investigate behaviors that occur entirely off Twitch that fall outside these categories. This is an iterative, ongoing process, and as always, our end goal is to build a safer Twitch for everyone. “

Twitch stated that it is bringing on an unnamed third-party investigative partner, an investigations law firm, to assist the company’s internal team, including Twitch’s internal law enforcement response team, which Twitch adds is also being expanded. Though unnamed, Twitch describes the law firm as a group with experience conducting independent workplace and campus investigations, including investigations related to sexual assault and discrimination.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/04/activision-infinity-ward-sued-over-modern-warfare-character"]

Twitch has also created a confidential email address (OSIT@twitch.tv.) where anyone can submit reports of misconduct that happens off of the streaming platform.

Twitch has made other recent moves to curb harassment on its platform, including banning the words “simp,” “incel,” or “virgin” when used in a derogatory context. Twitch also included additional language regarding sexual harassment, including messaging a user with unwanted compliments about their appearance, or comments about a user’s sexual proclivity.

Twitch also removed streamer Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez, known previously as the face of the “PogChamp” emote, after he tweeted a statement that appeared to call for further violence during the January 6 United States Capitol riot.

Since the passing of Alex Trebek, many have wondered who the next host of Jeopardy! will be. While many fans have already been campaigning for Star Trek and Reading Rainbow's LeVar Burton to take up the legendary role, Burton himself has now officially shared his interest to do so. A fan of this idea started a petition on Change.org to make LeVar Burton the next host of Jeopardy! and, as of this writing, over 170,000 people have signed on to support this dream. [caption id="attachment_2497063" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: Ian Tuttle/Getty Images[/caption] One of the biggest supporters of this idea has become Burton himself, who Tweeted out a link to the petition alongside saying, "leaving this here in the event the powers that be are listening..." This has caused many other celebrities to rally around Burton, including Dick Van Dyke, who shared the petition in hopes that this comes true. The Late Show's Stephen Colbert also showed his support in humorous way, saying, "I think LeVar Burton should host Jeopardy! As Geordi La Forge. And the buzzers should be phasers. And Data should be the judge. And it should be in space. And just be Star Trek." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2012/10/04/star-trek-the-next-generation-clip-all-good-things"] Since the death of the beloved Jeopardy host Alex Trebek, there have been many interim hosts, including Ken Jennings, Mike Richards, Katie Couric, Bill Whitaker, Savannah Guthrie, Sanjay Gupa, Anderson Cooper, Mehmet Oz, Mayim Bialik, and Aaron Rodgers. LeVar Burton made his acting debut in 1976 with Almos' a Man, and has since had a successful career that includes his roles as Kunta Kinte in the ABC miniseries Roots and Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and hosting Reading Rainbow for 23 years. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story?

Warning: Full SPOILERS follow for Godzilla vs. Kong. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard has explained how Transformers became a surprising source of inspiration for his monster movie mashup. Directed by Wingard from a screenplay by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein, Godzilla vs. Kong pits the two titular Titans against one another alongside a plethora of other monsters — including Mechagodzilla, a character that has cycled through several different iterations, having initially debuted as an alien weapon constructed of "space titanium" in 1974's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. In an interview with Inverse, Wingard discussed Mechagodzilla's inclusion in Godzilla vs. Kong and addressed his decision to redesign the classic character for the MonsterVerse. He recalled an early encounter with the 1986 animated Transformers movie and cited the simple design of the original robots in disguise as one of the influences behind his CGI vision of the mechanized daikaiju. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=monsterverse-every-major-monster&captions=true"] "I just always loved the simplicity of the [classic] Transformers designs, so I tried to create a look to the character that was punchy and just had a bit more simplicity. There's an immediacy to his shape and outline," Wingard explained, adding, "The Transformers animated movie from the '80s with Orson Welles was one of the best movie experiences for me as a kid growing up. Period." While Wingard credited those early designs as a source of inspiration, he made clear that he wanted to avoid replicating the Transformers designs from the Michael Bay movie series, saying, "They just looked like metal. They looked like a plane crash... They were too complex. There are too many moving parts, and I couldn't latch on to anything. Nothing felt iconic with that Transformers design." The infamous robotic version of Godzilla known as Mechagodzilla turned out to be the true villain of Godzilla vs. Kong. Originally the creation of aliens, when it debuted in 1974's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, the crazed colossal mech was brought about this time by Apex Industries' Walter Simmons, using the functioning neural pathways from Monster Zero's skull. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/29/godzilla-vs-kong-review"] Intended to be a mechanized monster with a human operator at the telepathic helm, Mechagodzilla becomes so powerful that it breaks free of the human pilot and goes on a self-aware rampage, attacking Hong Kong. Ultimately, Mechagodzilla is defeated by the joint efforts of Kong and Godzilla after the gruesome twosome team up to take down their metallic foe, leaving the battle as shared victors. In our review of Godzilla vs. Kong, we noted that "somewhat understandably, the humans are overshadowed by their enormous co-stars" in the movie, as the story serves as "a glorious love letter to these iconic characters' collective histories" and provides "a satisfying culmination of the arc leading up to it" to hopefully become "a jumping-off point for more stories set in this universe."

The third and final season of the Netflix Transformers: War for Cybertron trilogy premieres in July, and sees Predacons and Maximals joining the battle. Leading up to the new season, and in front of Hasbro's Fan Fest on April 9, Hasbro revealed three new Transformers: WFC figures available for preorder this week. Take a look at the gallery below to see high-resolution images of Galvatron, the Autobot Ark, and Scorponk: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=transformers-wfc-fan-fest-figure-reveals&captions=true"] The 7.5-inch Galvatron is inspired by the figure's G1 Transformers design and includes 4 accessories: "a Particle Beam cannon, 2 side cannon accessories that attach in both modes, and a Matrix of Leadership accessory." The Matrix of Leadership hangs from Galvatron's neck, "as it did in the 1986 film, The Transformers: The Movie." It's a really cool bridge between die-hard old-school and the new age of Transformer figures. Scorponok measures 5.5-inches and comes with "a Mega Missile and Cyberbee drone accessory," as well as "claw and tail articulation." The Autobot Ark is the largest of the three newly announced figures, coming it at an astonishing 19-inches tall and includes an Optimus Prime microfigure that fits inside. The Autobot Ark has a "G1-inspired Sky Spy accessory," and its chest piece is removable and converts into the "Autobot computer, TELETRAAN-1." All three figures will be available starting July 1, but can be preordered beginning April 9. Galvatron's MSRP is $49.99, Scorponok retails for $22.99, and the Autobot Ark has a suggested retail price of $149.99. All three figures will be available for preorder directly from Hasbro Pulse.

Turn 10 has announced that players will soon be able to get hands-on with the next Forza Motorsport game, provided they are part of the Forza Feedback Panel. “We will soon be able to share to our people in our Forza panel, they will actually be able to get their hands on a part of our new Forza Motorsport game,” said Chris Esaki, creative director of Forza Motorsport, in an update on Twitter.

— Forza Motorsport (@ForzaMotorsport) April 6, 2021

“The only way to get your hands on this part of the new Forza Motorsport title is to be part of that panel,” he revealed. The Forza Feedback Panel is a community which developer Turn 10 works with to gather important data on what players are looking for in a new game. This panel is sent surveys to complete and are asked to join in on discussions around the development of the next Forza. By allowing people on the panel to play part of the next Forza, Turn 10 will be able to gather further feedback. You can apply to join the Forza Feedback Panel by completing a survey. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/23/forza-motorsport-xbox-one-series-x-announcement-trailer"] Esaki notes that Turn 10 plans to continue this format of testing in the months ahead, and so hopes that more people from the community will be able to try out the game. Essentially, if you’ve any wish to play Forza Motorsport ahead of its currently unscheduled release, then you should apply to be part of the Forza Feedback Panel. There have been no mainline Forza games for a while now as Turn 10 decided to take time to innovate. That journey has brought it as far as revealing Forza Motorsport for Xbox Series X, which is seen as a reimagining of the series. Quite how long the game will remain in development remains to be seen, but clearly Turn 10 is taking player opinion into serious consideration as part of its plans for the series.

In the latest episode of IGN Unfiltered, Ryan McCaffrey was joined by IO Interactive CEO and co-owner Hakan Abrak to talk about the future of the Hitman franchise, along with the team's upcoming James Bond game, Hitman 3, separating from Square Enix, and much more.

Given that Hitman's recent reboot was billed as a trilogy, and that IO is now focusing on the upcoming James Bond game, some have been wondering what the future has in store for the enigmatic Agent 47. Abrak assured fans that this is not the end of the series, but the famous assassin is going to take a much-deserved vacation.

Respawn Entertainment is looking into creating a system that will compensate players who had their games ruined by cheaters. In a new series, Respawn Responds, Apex Legends design director Jason McCord discussed the negative impact cheaters can have on other players. If a player wins their games using cheats, others players in the match are unfairly marked down as a loss. Respawn is looking at how to retrospectively correct that. “We are currently looking into what we can do for players that have had their game impacted by a cheater,” he says. “This might look something like retroactive loss forgiveness, where you’ll get your RP back if we find that you had a cheater in your ranked match.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/26/apex-legends-season-8-mayhem-gameplay-trailer"] On the other side of the situation, Respawn are also looking at ensuring players who don’t cheat but who do benefit from cheats are also punished. For example, a cheater can help boost two other non-cheating teammates by cheating the whole team to victory. Respawn is able to detect this, but currently needs to streamline the manual components of the process to improve these efforts. In order to provide some positive feedback to honest players, Respawn is also looking at sending a message to players if a cheater they reported is eventually banned. McCord's language in these discussions makes it seem like these are all on-going conversations, so the eventual manifestation of these solutions is yet to be nailed down, and thus may be some distance away. For something coming sooner, Respawn has promised that Apex Legends Season 9 will feature “a ton” of Titanfall content.

GoodByeWorld Games CEO Will Hellwarth describes an early prototype of his game: you're a character lying in a hospital bed. It's not clear what's wrong with you. A clock is up on the wall, ticking.

Then you, the player, the person in the chair playing the game, physically blink. The scene cuts forward. You're still in the same bed, but the clock has moved forward.

"And you see the clock ticking and you're like, 'Oh, crap, every time I blink, I could be dying.' That was it," Hellwarth says.

The early idea would become Before Your Eyes, a narrative-driven game that players control by blinking, with each close of your eyes tracked by your webcam. Hellwarth first conceived of the idea for Before Your Eyes way back in 2008, when he was a student. Years later, after playing 30 Flights of Loving (a game that plays with the idea of film-like edits in a way Hellwarth was intrigued by), he picked it back up again.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/07/before-your-eyes-official-trailer"]

It was 2014, and Hellwarth was still a student, but this time he wasn't alone. He was joined by game director and composer Oliver Lewin, and lead writer and creative director Graham Parks. The three were childhood friends who had collaborated on film projects before, and initially took a fairly laid-back approach to Before Your Eyes. They worked on it on weekends between classes, jobs, and regular life, undergoing numerous iterations.

At one point, Hellwarth decided he would take the game more seriously if it got into gaming showcase Indiecade. It did. Then it got into the Independent Games Festival. A publisher picked it up, then dropped out. The team ran a successful Kickstarter. For seven years, every time it seemed like Before Your Eyes would never turn into much more than a fun, weird, experimental side project, a wave of interest and excitement for the concept would hit, spurring the group on. Finally, it's ready to launch on PC via Steam tomorrow, with the support of immersive media company RYOT and publisher Skybound Entertainment.

For a long time throughout development, Hellwarth wanted Before Your Eyes' blink mechanic to be very literal -- every single blink the player did propelled them into a new scene. Now, after hours upon hours of player feedback and discussion with his colleagues, he agrees it plays much better. Instead of every single blink being an edit, blinking will only move players forward if a metronome icon is ticking at the bottom of the screen, indicating to them that the next blink will end the current moment. But if the camera rests on certain marked spots in the field of view, blinking will reveal more dialogue, make choices about how the scene moves forward, or show aspects that weren't visible before.

Each transition acts like a cut or edit that's reminiscent of the trio's background in film. Parkes says he was fascinated by what he says Hellwarth described to him as "offloading the cut, the editor's job, to the player."

"Using this physical process that you don't have control over-- games are so often about this empowerment fantasy, but our game becomes this sort of disempowerment thing where no matter what you try to do, you have to blink and move on," he says.

Implementing a control scheme that's at least partially involuntary brought with it a whole host of challenges. For one, Lewin wanted to be sure that the team was using the blink mechanics to the fullest extent, rather than just making a fairly standard game with blinking appended.

[poilib element="quoteBox" parameters="excerpt=Games%20are%20so%20often%20about%20empowerment%20fantasy%2C%20but%20our%20game%20becomes%20a%20disempowerment%20thing%20where%20no%20matter%20what.%20you%20have%20to%20blink%20and%20move%20on."]

"You don't want to fall into this trap of just replacing the B button with blinking," he says. "We always wanted those new mechanics to be sort of thematically tied to what's special about your eyes, and what's special about having that immediacy, or that imperfection in the interaction."

Another problem was the issue of anticipating player behavior. Blinking can be both involuntary and voluntary, meaning that many players (myself included!) would feel a natural anxiety as they played. Scenes will continue to play until you blink to move forward, so there's a natural, completionist tendency to want to hold your eyes open as long as possible to see as much as possible. For instance, there's an early scene where something seems to be waiting at the end of a long, dark hallway. Players will want to hold their eyes open as long as possible to see what's at the end, but Before Your Eyes expects everyone to blink before the end.

"Every round of testing we did, we had to all sit down and discuss: X amount of people said there was frustration, because they would blink out and they would miss things," Lewin says. "And we're making a game about missing things. So where do you draw the line of saying, 'We want this amount of frustration, but not this bigger amount of frustration?' So it's always been a balancing act...And credit to the way Graham wrote those scenes, because it's really been an intentional thing every second where we expect people to leave a scene."

Parkes, as a writer, saw each scene as effectively an interesting writing prompt.

"It's a great writing challenge to have to write a scene that works in three lines, but then the player might listen on much past that," he says. "So we always made sure to write those scenes as long as possible, so if you keep your eyes open, there's something to stick around for."

[poilib element="quoteBox" parameters="excerpt=%22It's%20a%20great%20writing%20challenge%20to%20have%20to%20write%20a%20scene%20that%20works%20in%20three%20lines%2C%20but%20then%20the%20player%20might%20listen%20on%20much%20past%20that."]

And then of course, there was the sticky point of getting webcams to work in tandem with the game. Hellwarth says Snapchat's various tricks with camera recognition were instrumental in the team's realization that webcams had the power to do what they wanted to do with Before Your Eyes. But accurate blink detection was still a massive challenge. GoodbyeWorld’s early prototypes were heavily criticized and didn't work well with most webcams, and Parkes says the team wasn't able to really address the webcam issue until Skybound got on board and assisted with putting in place a firm quality assurance process.

According to Lewin, the biggest issue with webcams and blink detection wasn't the numerous kind of webcams on the market so much as the variety of environmental situations players might be in, with regards to lighting or positioning.

"There are laptops out there that have their webcams built into the bottom of the laptop, for whatever reason," Lewin says. "Dealing with those edge cases-- I think that you could just spend eternity being like, 'What if someone plays at 5:00 pm and the sun sets at 5:30 pm?' That part just required a lot of realizing that just because it worked really well for one person, it might still not be good enough."

Before Your Eyes has come a long way since it was a prototype of a person in a hospital bed. Parkes describes the process as "iterative, experimental, and exploratory," and the trio says the game's iterations have covered a number of different themes over the years -- especially death and regret. Ultimately, they settled on telling a story of "the breadth of an entire life," with the final version of Before Your Eyes seeing the main character's full life experience from the perspective of the afterlife -- albeit a strange afterlife, where the character in question might not want to be fully honest about every facet of their existence.

"We didn't want to just look at one period; we thought part of the exciting thing about this is that we can really give you that feeling of life flashing before your eyes… Early on, we were all sure of that. But exactly how it was gonna work and how it was going to function -- we really have tried so many different versions of this story."

[poilib element="quoteBox" parameters="excerpt=We%20want%20it%20to%20be%20a%20game%20about%20learning%20to%20accept%20and%20not%20trying%20to%20fight%20against%20the%20flow%20of%20time."]

With Before Your Eyes finally out the door after seven years, the trio wants to continue working on narrative games with unusual mechanics. They say they hope Before Your Eyes resonates with the general public in the same way it resonated with so many of the smaller audiences they tested the game with at various trade shows. Often, they tell me, it would bring players to tears -- and yes, crying can mess up blink detection (though they hint that the end of the game plays in a way that is cognizant of that).

"We've always known what we want the game to say," Parkes says. "We want it to be a game about enjoying the moment; we want it to be a game about learning to accept and not trying to fight against the flow of time. This is a game that is almost humbling yourself to the fact that time is going to push forward no matter what."
