Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC poll winner is either Red Hood or Zatanna

A couple of weeks ago we reported on aĀ completely ā€˜hypotheticalā€™ and ā€˜unofficialā€™ pollĀ started by Injustice: Gods Among Us creative director, Ed Boon, asking fans to vote for the DLC character theyā€™d most like to see added to the game. The poll closed a while ago and Mr Boon has been eking out the results ever since.

Now itā€™s finally down to the last two, and we know the winner of the poll is either Red Hood (Jason Todd/Robin) or Zatanna. Hereā€™s how the results revealed so far stack up:

Our pick was Blue Beetle, who received the least amount of votes overall. What a loser.

The longerĀ Ed BoonĀ drags out revealing the winner, the more weā€™re convinced the character with the most votes will end up being added to the game. Itā€™s the only obvious explanation for such a painfully protracted tease. Unlessā€¦ Ed Boon is just a complete sadist.…

Nintendo survival guide: 5 ways to save Wii U from being dead

Here are five ways Nintendo can save the Wii U from becoming dead in a variety of unfortunate and potentially fatal situations.

How Nintendo can save Wii U fromā€¦ a bear attack

 

Bears are dangerous and can easily kill a Wii U with its hands and mouth. If a bear attacks a Wii U, Nintendo should stand its ground and make lots of noise ā€“ sometimes this will scare the bear away as long as the bear isnā€™t deaf or hard of hearing. Climbing a tree can also be a good idea, unless the attacking bear is a black bear, which is a type of special climbing bear, in which case itā€™s not a good idea.

How Nintendo can save Wii U fromā€¦ a house that is on fire

 

Wii U is made of plastic, which is a type of material that is allergic to the sort of extreme heat that comes from fire. In the event of …
