Zelda’s Master Cycle Borrowed Assets from Mario Kart
Along with the surprise release of Breath of the Wild’s Champions’ Ballad DLC, the most unexpected news was the inclusion of Link’s new motorcycle, the Master Cycle Zero. Near the end of Champions’ Ballad, Link unlocks the bike, which he’s able to drive around Hyrule as he pleases.
In an interview with series producer Eiji Aonuma and game director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, we asked how Link’s new ride came about, plus if it’s related to the Master Cycle, the vehicle he rode in Mario Kart 8’s DLC.

NASA Discovers New Planet System Similar to Our Own
NASA and Google have announced the discovery of new planets, one of which makes for the discovery of the first other solar system to have at least eight planets, like our own.
After teasing the announcement earlier this month, the companies revealed Google's artificial intelligence software discovered an additional planet to the already known Kepler-90 star system. The software used machine learning to go through old data collected by NASA's Kepler telescope and find the new planet, which has been named Kepler-90i.
According to Business Insider, Kepler-90i appears to be a small, uninhabitable, hot, rocky planet, positioned third from the sun, which was originally missed by astronomers due to having a weak signal.

5 New Shows to Watch in Early 2018
There were some excellent new series in 2017, but now it’s time to look ahead to 2018. Specifically, the first few months of the year. With television networks and streaming services pumping out tons of new content, we decided to take a look at 5 new dramas that we're excited to see in early 2018.
Counterpart is a sci-fi thriller starring Academy-Award winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash). Simmons plays Howard Silk, a man working a dead-end job at the Berlin-based United Nations spy agency. Everything in Howard’s life appears normal until he discovers that there is another dimension with another Howard living in it. Watching two very different versions of J.K. Simmons should be a delight.

The Most Impactful Deaths in the Netflix MCU
Netflix's corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe tends to be much darker and drearier than what we see in Marvel Studios' films. It's a world where death lurks around every corner. Whether hero or villain, it seems like every character in these shows is haunted by death in some way. Either that, or they eventually die themselves.
With that in mind, we thought it would be interesting to look at the most significant deaths in the Netflix MCU series. These aren't all necessarily major characters, but each of these deaths has had a profound impact on the heroes and storylines in these shows. Beware of spoilers for all of these shows!
Marvel's The Punisher is the most recent addition to Netflix's Marvel lineup. Check out our review of the first season and then learn more about the character who looks to be a major villain in Season 2.

Point-and-Click Seinfeld Adventure Game Looks Incredible
A Seinfeld adventure game has been in the works from Australian indie developer Jacob Janerka for sometime now, and visually, it's everything you could hope for in a LucasArts-style game.
For example, the pixel-art Jerry and George are absolutely spot-on. Other characters and locales from the show are faithfully recreated in gorgeous '90s style pixel artistry, including Kramer, Elaine, and Newman.
