    The X-Files Might be Coming Back to TV

    I'd love to see the old gang back together again, but think the format of the show would have to be so different from the "original" series that it'd probably only be regarded as a knock-off Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Also I've been rewatching Fringe on Netflix of late and was amused to hear...

    Science: Injecting Human Cells Into Mice Brains Makes Them Smarter

    Since the cells being transferred are already somewhat differentiated (they're "immature glial cells") they would be unlikely to revert to a form that could be involved in the reporductive pathways. Even if they were, they'd still be human cells, carrying human genetic code that would be...

    Space Probe Will Soon Land on Comet - Update

    Philae has landed! The harpoons have been fired, the landing gear retracted and we (Earthlings all!) have just landed a washing machine-sized chunk of tech on a comet that's been whizzing around for four and a half billion years... Man, I fricking love science!

    Mad Monster Party [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061931/] will forever cast its shadow over any "Universal Monsters" crossover...!

    Watch_Dogs Re-Imagined as Commodore 64 Game

    Who binds a control to F2!? On the C64, you had to hold shift + F1 to use "F2"...

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: Download Paused

    Yahtzee's tale reminds me of a "Tharg's Future Shocks" tale from 2000AD in the '80s - a ship meets a barrier at the edge of the universe and deciphers a message writ thereon... (something about a comma "x times bigger than the diameter of Jupiter" was in there, I think...) I can't remember...

    Dark Souls Six: Darkest Souls

    Anyone else remember Yahtzee's Extra Punctuation article [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/9276-Context-Challenge-and-Gratification] on how to categorise a game? As far as I can see, the Souls games score extremely high on the Challenge and...

    30,000 Year Old Siberia Virus Comes Back To Life

    Just to clarify for those who don't follow the link to the BBC piece, the researchers are referring to the retention of vaccine stocks to Smallpox... Smallpox has been eradicated in the wild since 1977, but there a remote chance that there's a corpse somewhere, frozen in permafrost or similarly...

    "Conversations" Are Happening About Dredd Sequel, Says Karl Urban

    Yes, yes, a thousand times YES!! If they're going to mine the (very extensive) story backlog for ideas, might I suggest the "Mechanismo" arc(s)!? The fact that the Judges are stretched in terms of manpower has already been brought up in the first movie, so there's a reason for developing...

    Wolfenstein: The New Order Pre-Orders Get DOOM Beta Access

    Last time I checked, May 23rd came BEFORE May 29th, so the European release comes first...? OT: This is on my "ask for as a gift or pick up pre-owned" list - but I'm willing to upgrade if there's enough meat on the campaign...
