Windows Media Center Is Dead, Won’t Carry Over to Windows 10

Windows Media Center is effectively dead, as Microsoft has no plans to support the software with Windows 10.

In fact, during this year's Build Developer Conference in San Francisco, the company confirmed to ZDNet in a private meeting that those who opt for a free OS upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 will lose Media Center functionality altogether. And no, there won't be a way to get the software back.

Why Colin McRae Rally Will Always Be King Off the Road

As I was a fetus when the legendary Group B category was introduced to the World Rally Championship back in 1982, my only experience of what’s generally regarded as the golden age of rallying is grainy archival video. For me, the most exciting period of the WRC was actually the late ’90s, when madmen waged war against the clock in weaponised gravel missiles like the Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Lancer. This was the era when the iconic Ford Escort and Toyota Celica gave way to worthy successors in the Focus and the Corolla respectively, and Peugeot re-joined the series with the highly-successful 206. These are my all-time favourite rally cars.

Yacht Club Games Creative Director David D' Angelo has discussed how Kratos found himself in Shovel Knight.

“From style, combat, and overall intensity, Kratos was first on our list,” says D’Angelo, “as a chance encounter we wanted to see make the jump over to 2D! We couldn't be more honored to have Shovel Knight take part in God of War's incredible history!”

What Charlie Cox Wants From Season 2 of Daredevil

Daredevil has proved to be a huge success on Netflix, so-much-so that a second season has already been green-lit. We've already speculated on what we want to see in that series, but here Charlie Cox offers his thoughts on the show's future.

daredevil

"The show has had such a great response that I imagine we’ll be wanting to stick in that world and tonally feel we’re in the same universe. It’s very hard to know – when you’ve got a writer’s room and a showrunner it’s very hard to know who’s influencing the dialogue. Who’s influencing the structure of the scripts, the tone of it. I imagine it’s very much a collaborative process."
