The X-Files Delivered a Clever, Offbeat PSA

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.

"Yum!"

"Rm9sbG93ZXJz" (which apparently means "followers" - and that's the last time I'll type/paste it) was a fun, occasionally preachy, alt-universe diversion that felt like a standalone short film. In fact, an argument could be made that this story could have/should have been 20 minutes shorter and didn't need Mulder and Scully at all. Meaning, any two people out on a funky robo-dinner date would have worked for the action and messaging.

This (final?) X-Files season, so far, has been less about the continuing adventures of Mulder and Scully and more about "What would Mulder and Scully have to say about our current social and political climate?" There's an extreme (and mostly fun) meta-element to these modern chapters, with a few fan fic-y aspects thrown in for good measure.

The Soul Stone May Be ‘The Biggest Threat of Them All’ in Avengers: Infinity War

In the pages of Avengers: Infinity War Prelude #2, we learn a critical piece of information about the final Infinity Stone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Warning: full spoilers below!

Five of the six Infinity Stones are currently accounted for in the MCU, but the whereabouts of the Soul Stone remain a mystery. While the lead-in comic does not give us much to go on, Wong does reveal a key piece of intel, saying, “Little is known about the sixth and final Stone, the Soul Stone. But if what is known turns out to be true, it could prove to be the biggest threat of them all.”

The Best Fantasy-Themed Board Games

Fantasy settings are a wonderful fit for board games. There's something about orcs, elves, and magic spells that translates perfectly to cards and cardboard. And of course it doesn't hurt that the venn diagram of people drawn to wizards and people drawn to board games is basically a circle. As you might expect, board game designers have caught on, and there are so many good fantasy-themed board games out there as a result. There are plenty of sword and sorcery adventures. But in the world of board games, fantasy can mean anything from imaginative intrigue to alchemical academia.

So, grab a sword and a spellbook and head into the unknown as we explore what "fantasy" meant to a slew of different designers — and the best board games that came out of it.

Astronomers Pick Up First Light to Ever Shine in Universe

Astronomers have searched for signs of the earliest stars and found the first light ever to shine in the universe.

The Telegraph reports astronomers used a normal radio antenna placed in the remote Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory located in Western Australia to pick up the signal.

The frequency was especially difficult to find as it's within the same range as many radio stations and those naturally emitted from the Milky Way. National Science Foundation program director, Dr Peter Kurcynski described the task as "It's like being in the middle of a hurricane and trying to hear the flap of a hummingbird’s wing.”

Heathers Series Premiere Delayed After Florida Shooting

The series premiere for Paramount Network's TV adaptation of Heathers has been delayed following the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

The show was originally supposed to premiere on March 7. No new release date has been set yet. Paramount Network has provided the following statement addressing the delay:

"Paramount Network’s original series Heathers is a satirical comedy that takes creative risks in dealing with many of society’s most challenging subjects ranging from personal identity to race and socio-economic status to gun violence. While we stand firmly behind the show, in light of the recent tragic events in Florida and out of respect for the victims, their families and loved ones, we feel the right thing to do is delay the premiere until later this year."

Box Office: Black Panther Passes Wonder Woman, Toy Story 3

Black Panther has surpassed both Wonder Woman and Toy Story 3 at the box office to become the 20th highest grossing film domestically of all time.

According to Box Office estimates, the film made $10.1 million yesterday, bringing the film's grand domestic total to $421.8 million. Unadjusted for inflation, this puts Black Panther ahead of Wonder Woman ($412.6 million) and Toy Story 3 ($415 million), and slightly behind The Lion King's $422.8 million haul in 1994, according to Box Office Mojo.

Additionally, the Ryan Coogler-directed Marvel movie is now the third highest grossing MCU movie of all time. Just ahead of Iron Man 3 ($409 million) and behind Avengers: Age of Ultron ($459 million).

21 Book to TV Adaptations We Can't Wait to Watch

From The Godfather to Gone With the Wind, Hollywood has always relied on books to provide some of its best ideas -- and lucky for TV fans, the ambitious novels that were previously reserved for big budget blockbusters are finally getting the sprawling small-screen adaptations they deserve.

This week sees the release of AMC's McMafia and Hulu's The Looming Tower, two fascinating and complex series that deserve a place on your watchlist -- but there are plenty more adaptations on the horizon. Below, we spotlight 21 upcoming projects making the jump from page to screen in the next couple of years that we're particularly excited for.

Which adaptation are you most looking forward to seeing? Are you itching for another adaptation of Lord of the Rings, or is Peter Jackson's trilogy untouchable? Do you think Showtime and Lin-Manuel Miranda will do Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicle justice? Will Castle Rock will pay homage to Stephen King's work in a way that The Dark Tower couldn't? Let us know in the comments.

Oscars: 16 Best Pictures That Never Won Best Picture

In the tapestry of Best Picture winners, there are more than a few films that are sorely – and often shockingly – missing. These are the movies that a lot of people assume won Best Picture, but in fact, never did. Oftentimes, it was a lesser picture (at least in retrospect) that took home the Academy’s highest honor. For example, The King’s Speech taking the prize over The Social Network. Or La La Land oh so briefly being an Oscar winner before it was revealed Moonlight had actually won.

Whether it was an upset or an oversight, we thought it’d be fun, with Oscar Sunday fast approaching, to list off some of the films commonly mistaken as Best Pictures, even though they never got the recognition from the Academy.

Kevin Smith Gives Update on Current Health

Following his recent heart attack, Kevin Smith has reassured fans he's feeling much better now and will be undergoing a massive lifestyle change.

Smith shared what transpired on Sunday night via a Facebook video, revealing he didn't realize he was experiencing a heart attack after a stand-up show.

"I started feeling nauseous, and I tried to lay down on the floor, and when I was laying down on the floor, I wound up getting ill, like threw up but mostly bile,” Smith said. “I just thought I got some bad milk. That was it. I started feeling pressure on my chest, but not like, ‘There’s an elephant on my chest,’ I just couldn’t catch my breath. Honestly, I was never really in pain.”

Overwatch Hero 27 Announced

After a series of teases, Blizzard has confirmed Overwatch Hero 27 is Brigitte Lindholm, who will be available on the PTR today.

Brigitte's strengths lie in armor and defense, including her ability to throw repair packs and use her Flail, a melee weapon allowing her to hit a number of enemies with one swing. Her full list of abilities, along with their official descriptions, include:

  • Rocket Flail – Brigitte’s melee weapon has an extended range, enabling her to strike multiple enemies with a single swing.
  • Repair Pack – Brigitte throws a Repair Pack that can heal an ally. Any healing over that ally’s maximum health provides them with armor instead.

Oscars: 16 Best Pictures That Never Won Best Picture

In the tapestry of Best Picture winners, there are more than a few films that are sorely – and often shockingly – missing. These are the movies that a lot of people assume won Best Picture, but in fact, never did. Oftentimes, it was a lesser picture (at least in retrospect) that took home the Academy’s highest honor. For example, The King’s Speech taking the prize over The Social Network. Or La La Land oh so briefly being an Oscar winner before it was revealed Moonlight had actually won.

Whether it was an upset or an oversight, we thought it’d be fun, with Oscar Sunday fast approaching, to list off some of the films commonly mistaken as Best Pictures, even though they never got the recognition from the Academy.

How Much Will Wreck-It Ralph 2 Poke Fun at Disney?

The new trailer for Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 reveals that protagonists Wreck-It Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) and Vanellope Von Schweetz (voiced by Sarah Silverman) venture even further beyond the world they know than they did in the 2012 original, this time journeying into the Internet itself.

As Rich Moore explained to me during a recent phone interview with him and his fellow director Phil Johnston (both veterans of the first film), the filmmakers' intention for the Disney Animation sequel was to test the friendship between Ralph and Vanellope by thrusting them out of the familiarity of the old world into the unpredictability of a wild, new one.

Far Cry 5: Clutch Nixon Stunt Mission Gameplay – IGN First

While times might be bleak in Hope County, Montana during the events of Far Cry 5, there's a vein of lighthearted fun running throughout the world.

There's no better example of that than the legend of Clutch Nixon, the '60s and '70s daredevil who performed impossible feats, usually half drunk, that cemented his place in Hope County lore for all time. Best of all, you'll be able to recreate some of his heroic, and exceedingly dangerous stunts, by finding commemorative plaques throughout the world.

We're happy to share one of those side missions today as part of our IGN First coverage of Far Cry 5. Suit up, put on your best '70s 'stache, and watch the story of the Spray and Pray run in the video above!

PS Plus Lineup for March 2018 Announced

  • Ratchet & Clank (PS4)
  • Legend of Kay (PS3)
  • Mighty No. 9 (PS3)
  • Claire: Extended Cut (PS Vita)
  • Bombing Busters (PS Vita)

Bloodborne is FromSoftware's PS4-exclusive take on the Souls series. We called it "an amazing, exacting, and exhausting pilgrimage through a gorgeous land that imposes the feeling of approaching the bottom of a descent into madness", in our 9.1 review.

Ratchet & Clank is the beautiful remake of Insomniac's classic 3D platformer - we called it "one of the most charming, creative, and rewarding adventures in recent memory."

Legendary Hollywood producer Benjamin Melniker, who helped bring Batman to the realm of movies, has passed away at the age of 104.

The news was shared in a Facebook post from Melniker's long time collaborator Michael E. Uslan.

"It is with such sadness that I tell you of the passing of my Batman partner, the legendary Benjamin Melniker (1913-2018)," he wrote.

"'Legendary' is the only word capable of describing the man who started work at MGM in late 1939 and came to be known as 'The MGM Lion' for his forcefulness in negotiating the deals for the studio while building his reputation for integrity at the same time," Uslan wrote. "It was Ben who taught me, 'The only thing you get to take with you when you die AND leave behind is your good name.'"

Former BioShock, Dishonored Devs Announce New Game

The Blackout Club is a cooperative horror game from Question, a studio built by industry veterans whose work includes BioShock 2, BioShock Infinite, and Dishonored.

The game follows a group of teens in a small town who "band together after learning they’ve all been temporarily losing consciousness." None of the adult members of the community will speak to the kids about the incidents, including the disappearance of one of their close friends. Instead, the group launches its own investigation.

What they discover is "a hostile underworld" beneath their town, "populated by a clandestine group of adults."

Characters are customizable, each "with a variety of powers and equipment loadouts." Group members each have their own roles to play in gathering evidence to prove the crimes of the adults, including deploying drones and traps.
