Millar on How Old Man Logan Works Without the Avengers
During a sitdown interview with Mark Millar about his comics Jupiter’s Circle and Chrononauts -- keep an eye out for the full interview soon -- IGN asked Millar about the third and final Wolverine movie coming from Fox. Being a comic book veteran with numerous hits under his belt, Millar is a creative consultant for Fox and has insight on their upcoming projects. He wrote the fan-favorite Wolverine: Old Man Logan comic, so we asked him about the possibility of that being the third Wolverine movie, and then he went on to explain how Fox could make that story work -- name-dropping two well-known mutants in the process -- even though the movie can’t use major Avengers characters that appeared in the story because they belong to Marvel Studios.
Mighty No. 9 Gets New Release Date
Over 2 years since the project was first announced by Keiji Inafune, Mighty No. 9 will be coming to consoles and PC on February 9, 2016 in North America and February 12 worldwide.
Mighty No. 9 is Inafune's spiritual successor to the Mega Man games he created years ago for Capcom. Mighty No. 9 was first announced in August 2013 at PAX Prime. The game went on to meet its Kickstarter goal in just 48 hours, helped along by a clever announcement trailer that paid homage to Mega Man set pieces and characters.
In April, Comcept announced Mighty No. 9 would release in September 2015, but by July, pre-orders for the Mighty No. 9 signature edition were suddenly cancelled. At Gamescom in August, Comcept officially announced Mighty No. 9 was being delayed due to "bugs and issues pertaining to the online features."

According to nextgov.com, the phone uses a "neuromorphic computer chip" that simulates human learning. This allows the chip to recognize its owner's gait while walking, for example.
