Okay, This Is A Rather Cool Way To Link Defiance Game And Show

I’ve been sceptical about the extent that SyFy’s Defiance television show would be interacting with Trion Worlds’ Defiance MMO, but this is pretty cool. This is Tiio Horn as Rynn, a member of the Irathient race that found herself in hot water in the TV series over the past two episodes. She’ll be spending a few weeks in the game to cool off.


Dating Show Staple Tortures DOTA Player

Female contestants on Chinese dating shows are a dime a dozen. Usually described as rich spoilt princesses, most of these girls choose “wealthy” male contestants to just average good guys. However that isn’t the case with contestant Zhao Jie.

China, You Are Allowed To Make TV Shows Based On Video Games.

Earlier this month, we reported that the Chinese State Administration for Film, Radio and Television (SARFT) came out with six guidelines that could affect the future of Chinese television. Those six guidelines included a ban on the creation of TV dramas based on online video games.

From Skyrim To Mario, No Video Game Is Safe From Conan O’Brien

5 Scientific Explanations For Game Of Thrones’ Messed-Up Seasons

We real-world Earthlings take for granted that the seasons will change on schedule. Our planet’s clockwork-like seasonality allows us to predict the passage of time with complete precision, and we can always be sure that spring is right around the corner. The same cannot be said, however, for the unlucky inhabitants of George R. R. Martin’s Westeros.
