Batwing Dinosaur Discovered, Combines Everything Awesome
Chinese scientists have discovered a new type of dinosaur with bat-like wings.
The dinosaur, originally discovered 10 years ago in the China's Hebei province, measured 63 centimeters and weighed around 230 grams, according to a report in Nature. Most interestingly, though, are the dinosaurs wings, which resemble those of a bat more than those of birds and bird-like dinosaurs like the archaeopteryx.

Telltale’s Marvel Game Should Star This C-Tier Hero
The announced partnership between Marvel Studios and Telltale Games inevitably led to fevered speculation of what comic property The Walking Dead developers would tackle in 2017. Minds raced to some of the more obvious choices: The Punisher, Spider-Man, Daredevil. But with all due respect to Frank Castle, Peter Parker, and Matt Murdock, the under-appreciated Moon Knight would serve excellently as the subject of an episodic, dialogue-driven series while also offering new twists and possibilities for Telltale's signature storytelling formula. Allow me to explain.

Meet Smite’s New Corpse-Loving God of Decay
The newest deity to join the third-person action MOBA, Smite, emerged from the Ninth Hell earlier this week to join the mythological fray – the Mayan God of Decay, Ah Puch (pronounced: Uh Pwash).
As a merciless necromancer and the Mayan King of the Underworld, Ah Puch naturally joins Smite as a Mage in the Rise My Minions! patch.
Ah Puch's ability to exhume corpses through the use of his spells allows him to consume the bodies, regenerating health and mana, or detonate them with for explosive damage. He excels at area-of-effect damage, while sustaining his own resources, and punishing enemy healing with bonus damage and a powerful stun for every tick of healing they receive. His ultimate ability is a massive area-covering spell that causes damage over time and applies a cumulatively stacking slow to any enemy caught in it.

GTA 5 Mayhem Mod is Complete Chaos
Last time, we looked at a Grand Theft Auto 5 mod that lets you dump a whale into traffic. Today, we played the Mayhem Mod, which lets you fire car missiles from your car and apply some chaotic physics effects to everything around you.
The Mayhem Mod, by someone called Unknown Modder, is actually a port of a Grand Theft Auto 4 mod. It lets you cycle through a series of effects, including the aforementioned car missiles. You can actually shoot out car missiles from any kind of vehicle, including: boats, blimps, and airplanes.
Physics effects called Blow Smash and Suck Smash let you throw cars away or towards you, respectively. Variation Smash combines the two, randomly tossing cars all over the place.
