In most video games, death is only temporary. Such is not the case in the upcoming game Upsilon Circuit. Death means never playing it again. Upsilon Circuit, created by the studio Robot Loves Kitty, is built on an idea called “perma-permadeath.” In “permadeath”, a character doesn’t come back after he or she dies and players might forever lose that character. But in “perma-permadeath”, the player is never allowed to play they game again. The game is limited to only eight specially selected players, officially called “contestants”, at any given time. These players are divided into two teams of four that work together, fight against one another, and kill monsters to gain experience and level up characters. The players don’t get to choose how their characters level up. They don’t even get to choose their own abilities. Those choices belong to the spectators. Spectators play an enormous role in the game’s outcome. For one, when a player dies, a spectator is selected at random to replace him or her. Secondly, spectators allocate experience to each of the characters and can choose which abilities they gain. Spectators can spend money to aid their favorite characters—or send trouble to a character they hate. Kevin Goble, co-creator of Robot Loves Kitty, put it simply: “We’re monetizing trolling.” In a sense, Upsilon Circuit is a video game/game show/social experiment hybrid. Part of the game’s function is to study how players react given only one chance at playing.

by Andi Tolentino Marvel Comics announced that a new series featuring Black Widow will be happening in early 2016. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Eisner Award winning creative team Mark Waid and artist Chris Samnee shared that Natasha Romanov’s (Black Widow) will have a different continuation from past creators Nathan Edmondson and Phil Noto’s take on the Avenger. Waid and Samnee plan to slowly grow out of Edmondson and Noto’s series. "It's similar to the way we approached Daredevil in that we’re not picking up specifically from the end of the previous issue or specifically from any one moment," Waid said. If you are one of the fans that never kept along with Black Widow’s storyline, no worries.
