I wasn’t expecting much from the Fringe panel at Comic-Con yesterday, but it ended up being one of the most hilarious panels at the show thanks to the antics of John Noble and the rest of the cast. Writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzmann, and Jeff Pinkner also joined in on the fun. They didn’t show any new fotage, but there were a few interesting tidbits of info for Fringe fans.

Note: Spoilers for Fringe Season 2 after the break!

* We will see the rest of the conversation that Olivia has with William Bell at some point in the new season premiere. It may not start there, though.

* “When we first met Olivia, she was just a really hot FBI agent,” Anna Torva said of her character. It sounds like she was well aware how boring Olivia was at the beginning of the series, and she’s very glad to see Olivia developing a personality as well as realizing how she fits into the grand scope of things.

* They chose to put William Bell’s office in the Twin Towers because it was one of the easiest ways to symbolize that we were in a completely different reality. They did mention that one of the headlines mentioned “President Obama moving into new White House”, implying that it was destroyed by terrorist attack instead. It’s not necessarily a better reality, just a different one.

* Jasika Nicole, who plays Astrid, was adored by the crowd. She mentioned that one of her favorite scenes of last season was where a monster was impregnating people, and they had to do multiple takes while one actor was covered with mealworms in a body bag.

* In the first season they were reactive to the mysteries of their world, this season will be far more proactive since they have a better sense of what’s going on.

* Joshua Jackson mentioned that he doesn’t really know his own father, which may bring a bit of authenticity to his role as he’s trying to repair his strained relationship wth Walter. John Noble was definitely like a father figure to everyone on the cast.

* Nimoy will be on the show as much as he can.

* There will be some plot lines related to the characters meeting their alternate personalities. In particular, they do want Walter to meet his alternate at some point. I’d imagine he’d be somewhat ****ed since our Walter basically kidnapped alternate Walter’s son.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

      No support for Windows Hello!
    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
