EVE Online Retribution Announced, Detailed

Chances are you've probably read more about EVE Online than you've played it. Approaching its 10-year anniversary, the spaceship-filled MMO from CCP Games has only grown each year, and the team predicts that 2013 will be their biggest yet with the free upcoming expansion EVE Online: Retribution.

Retribution is CCP's attempt to make EVE a bit more approachable, as well as update systems that just aren't working all that well. Most notably, the team is changing up the Bounty Hunting and Crimewatch systems. The new bounty system will allow players to not only place marks on users, but also corporations and alliances. The Crimewatch system will now have very easy-to-understand symbols that show you what level of crime you've committed and tell you the consequences at a glance. Additionally, Crimewatch is being redesigned so that there are less loopholes for players to commit crimes and then take actions that game the intended system. CCP loves emergent gameplay, but they really want Retribution to emphasize the idea that every action has a tangible consequence.

Other changes coming in the December 4th expansion are tweaks to the Factional Warfare system, revamped art and graphics for ships, a new mining frigate, four new destroyers (one for each faction), NPC AI improvements, better UI, a "Weapon Safety" feature that will prevent new players from accidentally committing crimes and the opening up of some of the studio's CREST API to see what users can do with it. CCP also wants to do some rebalancing, with boosts to early warfare, as well as improvements to the role and progression systems for ships.

Gwyneth Paltrow May Not Return for Avengers 2

Is it possible that Marvel's sweetheart Gwyneth Paltrow won't be coming back to play Pepper Potts in The Avengers 2?

"I don't know," the actress told E! Online. "I'm getting old for this s***, you know what I mean?" At 39, Paltrow's age is hardly an outlier when compared to the rest of the Avengers cast, some of whom range in their 40s. (I'm looking at you, RDJ and Ruffalo.) Nevertheless, we'll be seeing much more of Paltrow's Pepper in Iron Man 3, so it's hard to complain.

Meanwhile, director Joss Whedon had a few new tidbits regarding the anticipated Avengers sequel (via 24 Hours Vancouver):

"The creation of the team is not the happy ending," Whedon said of the first film. "It is the beginning of something that is complex and difficult, and now I get to dig a little deeper. And maybe, while I'm digging, just twist that knife. And that's exciting for me."

As for Marvel's upcoming slate of features -- on which Whedon will serve as a creative consultant -- the filmmaker added, "Very talented people are writing and directing these movies, and what I don't want to be is the guy they dread, who's going to come in and say, 'Oh, well I have the power to change this.' I'm not that."
