The Smithsonian Institute has begun what they call “Phase II” of their cataloging and restoration of the original USS Enterprise studio model – that is, the original model of the ship used on the 1966 TV show. The model has seen lots of wear over the last 50 YEARS (wow… that long?) but is in surprisingly good condition thanks to some previous restoration done outside of the Smithsonian’s influence.
The above image shows the original studio model of the USS Enterprise in its constituent pieces – each of which will be photographed in multiple light spectra in order to make sure its condition is fully-documented for the archives. Then a team of professionals from ILM and CAMd will oversee its restoration.

In these dire times, a young and promising alliance from the distant planet of Scandinavia (solar system Europe) holds the future of many of said IPs, which are threatened by the fate of being lost and forgotten, and thus, proved themselves worthy of protection.
After some life-sustaining measures, said alliance, also known as Nordic Games Licensing AB with its base of operations Karlstad, Sweden, managed to acquire and preserve the following list of IPs:
| Titles |
Platforms |
| Bang Bang Racing | PC, XBL, PSN, Android |

| Sine Mora | PC, XBL, PSN, PSVita, iOS, Android |
| Imperium Galactica | PC |
| Imperium Galactica II | PC, iOS, Android |
| Liberty Wings | iOS |
| Ubrain | iOS |

The alliance places their trust in the brave warriors of the Nordic Games GmbH, in their colony of Vienna, Austria, to take control of the IPs and to handle the day-to-day business (sales and distribution, evaluation of sequels & new content etc.).

February 1st, 2016 – Wroclaw, Poland / Today Techland released a statement to fans about the release dates of Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition.
Dear fans,
As we announced last week, Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition has gone gold. This means the game is ready, and the discs are now being packed and shipped to stores where it will be available starting February 9th. Keep in mind that retail and digital availability may vary slightlybetween platforms or countries (check below).
The launch of Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition also means that the original version is going to be increasingly harder to come by. Digitally, it’ll disappear instantly on February 9th. As for retail, we will cease shipping additional copies, so it will remain available only as long as stocks last. If you plan to grab your copy of the vanilla Dying Light at a reduced price, or want the original box for your collection, now is the best time to do it.
Whatever your choice, we hope you have zombie-apocalyptic plans for February.
