Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Will Introduce Peacemaker's Chukwudi Iwuji As The High Evolutionary
It’s been a shockingly busy night for MCU fans. Not only did Marvel Studios take Hall H by storm to debut brand-new footage of the upcoming movies like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and not only did we get our first-ever look at the roadmap to the end of Phase 4 and the plans for Phase 5 (including the next two Avengers movies and the upcoming Thunderbolts film), we also got a handful of new villains tossed into the mix as well.
James Gunn officially announced that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will set the team against none other than the High Evolutionary, played by Peacemaker’s Chukwudi Iwuji–and to really drive home the news, Iwuji took Hall H by storm, showing up in costume and fully in-character to deliver a scathing monologue about how he can’t wait to evolve us disgusting humans into something truly beautiful.
Iwuji’s over-the-top theatrics were really emphasized by his metallic purple costume–truly the sort of bad guy you’d expe…
Hacker Collective Runs OG Doom Using Ikea LightBulb Components
A hacker collective has figured out how to run the 1993 shooter Doom using the components of an Ikea lightbulb–because why not. If it has a computer inside, it can probably run Doom, and this is the latest demonstration of that.
Next-hack published a lengthy blog post detailing how the group disassembled the approximately $20 TRÅDFRI LED wireless lightbulb to extract its RF module and combine that with other components–a bit more flash memory, a cheap160×128 SPI display, etcetera–to build the setup.
There were some restrictions the group put on themselves, however, namely that the “microcontroller [must have] reasonably limited computing power and/or memory, with respect to vanilla Doom’s minimum requirements.” On top of limiting computing power, next-hack required themselves to play Doom using the embedded microcontroller, not some replacement.
The result is impressive, as Doom runs pretty smooth using the lightbulb’s components. You can check out the gamepla…
