Fallout 4 Getting PC Mod Support in April, Console to Follow
Fallout 4 will get official PC mod support sometime in April, Bethesda's Todd Howard recently announced.
In an interview with Game Informer, Howard said the company is aiming to release mod support between the first and second DLC packs. Mod support for Xbox One will come the month after, and for PlayStation 4, a month after that. The intent is to get the support fully running on PC before moving on to consoles.
Howard also discussed Fallout 4's upcoming DLC, of which three updates were recently revealed. Bethesda realized with its DLC that all sizes and price points have worked for the company. Fallout 4's initial DLC run, according to Howard, has "a little bit of everything."

Agents of SHIELD’s Ward and Bakshi Want Your Help to Make Their Movie
Brett Dalton and Simon Kassianides (Ward and Bakshi from Agents of SHIELD, respectively) are asking for support in their new film collaboration.
Trust No One, directed by and starring Kassianides, is an action thriller grounded in reality. Kassianides wants to create more relatable characters—"not as far as John
in Die Hard but not as assured as Jason Bourne." Dalton will star as Victor.
As a huge action thriller fan, Kassianides wants to take the genre "a step further." Main characters Ben and Amber will be "seemingly ordinary" folks who've stumbled upon some very important information. They'll be introduced right as they're about to make "an exchange that promises to provide them with a lot of money but more importantly—their freedom."

If you’re getting excited about Season 2 of Netflix’s Daredevil series, then dine on this ongoing Daredevil comic series. In order to capitalize on the success of the show, this new run has brought the character back to being a lawyer in New York City to kick butt in and out of court. There’s an intriguing new villain called Tenfingers and a whole lot of legal trouble, but it’s artist Ron Garney that keeps you coming back for more. It’s his rough and stylish artwork, along with Matt Milla’s colors, that create the moody landscape of the city. Daredevil looks like he’s etched out of shadow, with his red hand-wraps, chest symbol, and eyes popping out of the darkness.
