What’s that? You want some articles to read before the Oscars this Sunday? Well here you are!  This week I have gathered some spicy ones. From talking framerate controversies, to Smash Bros controversies, to The Last Guardian seemingly being cancelled for the dozenth time. It wasn’t, thankfully. I still have hope that I will be able to play it before I finish my Ph.D.! Enjoy the weekend and see you all here again very soon. Here is to hoping Birdman wins best picture!

The Smash Bros. community was in a tizzy about the leaked Rayman DLC. Turns out it was fake, but a lot of hard (and interesting) work when into making it. Some definite technical wizardry on display here.

An interesting, if expected, look into the mind of a former “swatter.”

It would not be a new year without another TLG cancellation scare. I really hope to hear something positive about it soon.

PBS Game/Show, YouTube
Video games still have a long way to go with their representation of minorities.

Justin Kroll, Variety
I love monster movies, and Alien/Aliens are some of my favorites. I enjoyed District 9, and I am excited about what Blomkamp could do with the Alien universe.

NPR
A sobering look into the Ebola-ravaged Barkedu.
