A California woman faces 25 years to life in prison for murder after a man with whom she was having an extramarital affair testified that they jointly plotted her husband’s 2014 death — first by poisoned pudding and, later, with a fatal shooting.
On Thursday, a Kern County, California, jury found 37-year-old Sabrina Limon guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of her husband, Robert Limon, who was shot by her ex-lover Jonathan Hearn.
Sabrina is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 3 and an appeal is planned, her attorney, Richard Terry, tells People.

Popular action RPG Path of Exile is finding a new home on Xbox One in 2017, developer Grinding Gear Games has announced. Originally released as an open beta in early 2013 – and subsequently getting a full release the following October – Path of Exile borrows heavily from Blizzard’s own Diablo series, particularly that of Diablo II, which is often considered to be the series’ high point. As is the case with the property from which it draws its inspiration, gameplay takes place from an overhead perspective, with emphasis on loot hunting and wealth accumulation in order to build the “ultimate character.”
Having adopted a free-to-play model early in development with optional micro-transactions, it’s not entirely clear from the announcement over on Microsoft’s blog whether the Xbox One version will support the same payment model – the console versions of Diablo III did away with the game’s auction house feature, which...

The politically incorrect animations of Cyanide and Happiness have officially arrived at a new format. The webcomic-turned-YouTube channel created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin has released the first episode of The Cyanide and Happiness Show, which collects several animated sketches across a ten-minute installments. Cyanide and Happiness' YouTube channel, which is based off its vulgar webcomic, has 3.6 million subscribers and is partnered with Collective Digital Studio. The channel is dominated by short comedy sketches that repeatedly show off new, imaginative ways to kill off stick figures. In 2013, after some unfruitful talks with TV executives, the comic's founding quartet headed to Kickstarter to turn these sketches into a long-form show. They hoped to "create an online show that everyone in the world can watch anytime they want," and by raising a whopping $770,309 from their fans (more than three times their initial goal), they were able to do just that.

Most people who've used the internet have had at least a couple interactions with the most advanced conversational robot on the web. For those of you who haven't, there's a reason we aren't utilizing this artificial intellligence on a day to day basis. As advanced as it is, Cleverbot tends to get confused and detract from the task at hand quite often, kind of like an indie film. For this reason filmmaker Chris Wilson teamed up with Cleverbot to co-write and direct a film titled Do You Love Me. You can watch the interesting results below. Thanks to Blastr for the heads up!

On Tuesday, Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy spoke with Republican pollster Chris Wilson about an April Gallup poll that showed Mitt Romney edging out Barack Obama by two percent as the candidate voters would support were the election held that day. At the time, Obama senior campaign strategist David Axelrod came out against the results, taking to Twitter to say that Gallup "is saddled with some methodological problems." The polling firm is now being hit with an unrelated lawsuit by the Doj.

A Comic Book publisher has unveiled plans for its work to be used as a school learning resource.
Reading comics in class is usually a fast way to get detention. But they are popular with kids so Bluewater Productions has created a series of multi-discipline lesson plans that use graphic novels and comics.
Developed in partnership with Chris Wilson, the educator behind popular resource The Graphic Classroom, the scheme provides a free lesson plan (see image below for an example) that incorporates several of Bluewater's non-fiction titles.
"I know that reading is a problem for many students today. I feel strongly that comics and graphic novels can be one way that we can combat this problem. Graphics novels should be in every public school library and classroom library." said Wilson.
The lesson plans, available through Bluewater, incorporate a multi-discipline analysis of several biographical graphic novels and comic books including language,...

There are few rock fans like Rush fans, as we found out here at the Festival when we met father and son duo Mike and Chris Wilson, who got in line for rush tickets at 9:45 am the morning of the world premiere of Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage. The documentary about the fearsomely talented trio of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart looks at each stage of their long and industrious career, from when Lee and Lifeson met in junior high to the present day. Rush also features a wealth of interviews with musicians who were influenced by them - from Trent Reznor to Billy Corgan, Jack Black - and Geddy's and Alex's moms, as well as tons of footage and photos. The line waiting to get in to see the documentary was yet another testament to the dedication of Rush's fanbase: as ticket-holders arrived, the line...

At Tribeca, we deduced early on that the documentary Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage was a popular choice: in terms of visits to TribecaFilm.com, the film's film guide entry was consistently one of the most-viewed pages, and we've never had more enthusiastic fan comments on any page, ever. Then once tickets went on sale, the premiere screening was one of the first to reach (appropriately) 'rush tickets' status. (You know, there's no such thing as 'sold out' at Tribeca!) So we were anxiously awaiting April 25, because we knew the fans could not wait to see their favorite band on the big screen, and we wanted to meet them. But we had No Idea! Yesterday at 9:45 am, just about 12 hours prior to the screening, father/son duo Mike and Chris Wilson were the first to show up for the Rush line for Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage. These avid...

Shanghai
Opens: 2010
Cast: John Cusack, Gong Li, Ken Watanabe, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chow Yun-Fat
Director: Mikael Hafstrom
Summary: In the months leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, an American man arrives in Shanghai to find his friend recently murdered. In investigating his friend's death, he stumbles upon a secret the United States government has been keeping and falls in love in the process.
Analysis: After being granted permission to shoot in the Chinese city, the $10 million production found its permit quickly being revoked by the Government who expressed concerns about the script. The result is Bangkok and the United Kingdom standing in for the real Shanghai which seems kind of against the entire point.
Cusack himself has emphatically endorsed the project in interviews, calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity", but being stuck at the cash-strapped Weinstein Company means that its release plans are unsure beyond a vague promise of a limited bow around Easter.

You've seen it pointed out by every writer from here to the New York Times: We're in the middle of a vampire craze! Why? Why now? What does it mean? When will it end? Mix in the cries of love and hate for the Edward Cullens, Eric Northmans, and Bill Comptons and you have a deafening discussion centered on the creatures of the night.
But Christopher Beam and Chris Wilson over at Slate have done some historical digging, and come to a surprising discovery: We've never not been in the middle of a vampire craze. Christopher Lee created one, and when the popularity of the vampire began to wane, Anne Rice stepped in. When readers tired of Lestat, in walked Joss Whedon with Buffy, and so on. There's only been a few gaps that Slate terms "The Garlic Years" when vampires were "back in the coffin," perhaps most notably between...

Yup. I'm sick. Twisted. Perverse. Warped. Dare I even say (dare... dare....) a little insane in the membrane. Why you ask? Simply put... someone sent me a link to this crudely drawn little webcomic, and after a single strip, I knew I must share this with the six or seven of you who haven't heard of it. What lay ahead in this article will make some of you angry. Others will throw their hands up in disgust and curse loudly at the screen. But there will be those who see this as a new beacon of hope. Yes my friends, I bring to you something so wrong it must be right. A webcomic that appears to challenge xkcd in artistic merit, and tickle the nethers of the Parking Lot is Full for content. Look quickly beneath this velvet drape and behold the evil hilariousnesstitude of... Cyanide and Happiness!
