Humour and science fiction may not seem obvious bedfellows but a history of cinema will tell you different. Think Spaceballs, Mars Attacks! and Everything Everwhere All At Once to name but a few. And now Ryan Gosling is hopping on board. The 45-year-old is both the lead actor and producer of Project Hail Mary, a space adventure film based on the 2021 Andy Weir novel of the same name. While Gosling has showcased his comedy chops in films such as Barbie and Nice Guys, he tells the BBC he's always struggled as an actor because I would want to bring humour to something but has found opportunities to be funny limited with some projects.

I just finished writing a feature about the Video Game History Foundation in Oakland, California, and how it is preparing to share its digital archive of games magazines. From 30 January, you'll be able to visit the institute's website and explore a collection of about 1,500 publications from throughout the history of games, all scanned in high detail, all searchable for keywords. It's a magnificent resource for researchers and those who just want to find the first-ever review of Tetris or Pokémon. I can't wait to visit. While researching the article, I spoke to John O'Shea and Ann Wain from the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield, which is also collecting games mags and other printed ephemera.

Welcome to the 2024 Bafta Game Awards, the UK video game industry's night of nights. As the stereotype goes, we gamers see very little of the sun, but it is beaming this afternoon as we set up for the BAFTA Game Awards red carpet. There are some truly incredible games in the running tonight, including heavyweights Baldur's Gate 3, Alan Wake 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as well as some brilliant new faces behind breakout releases Dave the Diver, Dredge and Lethal Company. Shortly, we'll hear from our colleagues reporting live from the red carpet, where the game developers are looking very dapper, having swapped their jeans and sneakers for suits and frocks (well, some of them have). We are in for a great night, so stick with us as we take you all the way through to the end screen!

After months of anticipation, the 2024 Golden Globes nominees were finally announced this week. From popstar Dua Lipa to actress Hannah Waddingham, plenty of British and Irish stars managed to earn themselves top nods. But while the stars will have to wait until 7 January to discover their fate, we let curiosity get the better of us and enlisted AI to help predict the results. MailOnline gave Google's Bard the list of nominees and asked it to guess the winners, based on past trends and current reviews. So, do you agree with its predictions?

Shortly after the game's PC release, a modder going by the handle Mike Hawk (probably don't try saying it out loud) released a mod called "Non-Newtownian New York." According to its creator, the mod replaced "Newton's Prism's artifacts with the stars and stripes." This was a roundabout way of saying it turned Pride flags into United States flags. As many have pointed out, "Spider-Man" already includes a plethora of U.S. flags even without mods, and Spider-Man -- given his habit of standing up for the oppressed -- has frequently been associated with progressive causes.

I distinctly remember the moment I was first intrigued by the possibilities of AI Art. On December 13th, 2021 I was scrolling through Twitter and breaking up the endless parade of apocalyptic news stories, vicious wisecracks and obscure movie trivia fighting for space on my feed was a puzzling and bizarre comic-grotesquerie "Elon Musk Dying in Space," created by one @wagface. No malice towards Mr. Musk, but one thing I love about Twitter is how the rich and poor, the powerful and anonymous are all trapped together in the same canvas sack, and this was a striking example of an anonymous online wise-guy turning the tools of cutting edge technology against one of the world's most pre-eminent technologists. I was also totally baffled, "What, exactly, am I looking at?" The image's melted plastic, smeared pixel future-primitive aesthetic couldn't've been more appropriate towards the subject at hand, but how was this nightmare created and what else is it capable of creating?

Digital marketing is constantly changing. The next five years will be more than just change -- they will be a complete transformation of how brands operate and what they stand for. The iOS14 update changed how data is used in marketing, but its impact is far from over. Advertisers are using omnichannel reporting to look at the bigger picture rather than results from a single channel. It also means first-party data will continue to rise in value and popularity as it allows brands to communicate directly with their audience without limitations.

FOX's Ashley Dvorkin gives Marvel fans a look at the rides and entertainment in store. It's time to trade face masks for superhero masks.

Based on the popular Marvel superheroes and Avengers franchise, Avengers Campus is ready to open on June 4th. Fox News was able to attend a preview event that showcased the new land and many of its features.
