Maybe learning to survive a hostile alien world wouldn’t be so bad…well, not if it was this pretty.

On April Fool’s day, NPR had an extremely simple joke that turned out to be an incredibly effective demonstration of how many commenters on Facebook actually read the articles they comment on.

Here’s 10 minutes with Child of Light on PS4. Sony’s PlayStation Access sits down with creative director Patrick Plourde to talk about Ubisoft’s upcoming JRPG-influenced role-playing game. It’s looking very pretty, as usual.

Here’s a close-up look at the Fire TV’s optional controller, which you can buy separately from Amazon’s mini-console for $40.
