Following a seemingly solid launch for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, there's probably a fair few series newcomers considering delving into the original trilogy. But anyone hoping for a Mass Effect: Legendary Edition style remaster shouldn't hold their breath; Dragon Age: The Veilguard creative director John Epler says the project would be challenging because hardly anyone left at BioWare knows how the studio's old engine works.

Australian Mathematicians Debunk 'Infinite Monkey Theorem'

Australian mathematicians have proven the famous "infinite monkey theorem" impossible within the universe's lifespan. The theorem suggests monkeys typing randomly would eventually produce Shakespeare's complete works. Scientists Stephen Woodcock and Jay Falletta calculated that even 200,000 chimpanzees typing one character per second until the universe's heat death would fail to reproduce Shakespeare's writings. A single chimp has only a 5% chance of typing "bananas" in its lifetime, with more complex... Read more
