The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon takes players to four unique locations; Ambrose Manor, the Gorgon asteroid, the Olympus Orbital Pharmaceutical Station (O.O.P.S.), and the back bays of Groundbreaker. Murder on Eridanos, on the other hand, keeps players on the planet of Eridanos the entire time. Plot-wise, both instances of travel make sense within the context of the stories being told. However, the lack of travel in Murder on Eridanos leaves the door open for the future of The Outer Worlds with two unexplored planets still on the Halcyon map....

Exact details about the concert are still scarce. The announcement trailer doesn’t confirm much outside of Post Malone’s presence, showing him prepare to come out on stage with a Poke Ball in his hand before turning into a CGI version of himself. The concert itself is set to take place on Pokemon Day, which is February 27th, at 7 pm EST / 4 pm PST/midnight on February 28th GMT, and is considered the start of the P25 Music program....

While it’s great that Pokemon Legends: Arceus is so unique, what may be more important is whether or not Game Freak makes this approach to Pokemon games the standard. Pokemon Legends: Arceus is a more liberated Pokemon game than most, but it’s also more dangerous, putting the protagonist in the front line in a way that most Pokemon games have not. At a glance, putting the player character in danger seems like a drastic deviation from the franchise’s usual model, but it could actually be the best thing that Game Freak does for Pokemon’s Generation 9....

The “Poker Brat” Phil Hellmuth grabbed the spotlight once again this week—showing up for the taping of the new poker reality show Poker Night in America fully decked-out in a baby’s costume. MORE: Smith Returns to #1 on GPI World Rankings | Daniel Negreanu Player of the Month | WSOP November Nine Set Upon being the first person eliminated in a Poker Night in America tournament, the 13-time WSOP bracelet winner was at the mercy of 888 Poker sponsored pro Jessica Dawley, who promptly went shopping for an appropriate suit for Hellmuth....

What I found, however, at the Digital Divides conference convened by the Pacific Regional Humanities Center at the University of California, Davis, was that the academic world has made quite a turnaround. In the 80s and early 90s there were a handful of university folk exploring topics like hypertext or the social impact of computers, but by now the topic of digital change has infiltrated every department from history and linguistics to art and psychology....

Warren Harding was the 29th president, from 1921 to his death in 1923, and he had a baseball connection. MORE: The 25 worst Baseball Hall of Fame selections ever “Harding was the first President to have owned a stake in a professional baseball club, the Marion Diggers of the Class D Ohio State League,” wrote John Thorn , MLB’s official historian. Harding grew up playing baseball in Marion, Ohio in the 1800s....

The filmmakers didn’t know when they filmed his story that Harrer had been a Nazi and an SS member before setting off on his trip in 1939. In postproduction they slipped in a few references to his past, thus giving their chilly protagonist even more bad karma to overcome on his voyage of spiritual rebirth. Leaving his pregnant wife behind, Harrer sets off with Peter Aufschnaiter (David Thewlis) to scale Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas....

Things differ for players once they get into the game. Fans of the original Overwatch who were able to get their accounts merged will find they can play all heroes from the get-go, including the battle pass-gated Kiriko. But those who are starting Overwatch 2 fresh or are unable to merge their accounts will have to put in some effort to unlock the roster. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this new unlock system, but there are some benefits to gating Overwatch 2 heroes....

Meanwhile, the PS Plus free games for October 2022 include Hot Wheels Unleashed, Injustice 2, and Superhot. What’s more, some regions are getting bonus games like Rogue Explorer, Crisis Wing, and/or Way Down in addition to the three core games. But none of these are fitting for the Halloween, spooky season, but at least hope isn’t over for the company yet. It has yet to announce the PS Plus Extra and Premium games for October 2022....

On August 16, Sony will release the PS Plus Extra and Premium games for August 2022, which currently come in at 12 total games. It should be noted that July’s offering included a surprise game, not revealed until its inclusion, and it’s possible that happens again. It would likely only be one game though. The problem here, though, is that was supplemental, and the releases for July in this department were solid on their own....

We rebounded in the early time slot on Sunday, with the Panthers (+10) dominating the Saints, winning 41-10. Our lone Big Play, the Chiefs (pick ‘em) were unable to hold an eight-point halftime lead, and with the help of some questionable officiating, lost 17-14 in Arizona. Our perennially struggling Break-Even or Better selections struggled once again: the Dolphins (-2.5/-3) blew a 10-0 lead and lost, and the Colts (-3.5) pulled off a big-second half comeback to win but not cover....

And yes, it’s Newsome and DeCosta, not an entire department of scouts and talent evaluators, who are primarily responsible for the draft pick that changed the Ravens’ future for the better. In an interview with NBC Sports’ Peter King following Baltimore’s blowout win over Houston in November, a game in which the second-year QB continued his MVP-caliber season with four passing touchdowns, DeCosta told the story of Jackson’s selection on Day 1 of the 2018 NFL Draft....

This is not the first time the PSP has hit the trending page, as it did so back in July of this year. While it is surely a product of the time, with the platform making use of cheat code books, lacking media apps, and running slow, users gathered earlier this year to talk about all the things it did right. From the PlayStation Store to a Music and Video Player, as well as access to internet radio and emulators, gamers were quick to praise the PlayStation Portable....

Europeans are different. Houston and New York City exhibit quite different norms from Frankfurt or Glasgow, let alone a decorous country town like Dunblane. Of violence rooted in the fabric of everyday life–whether deprivation, or drugs, or simple score-settling on the streets–the United States experiences more than any other society in the developed world. When I’m in the States, I live in Vermont, in a place so small it could hardly be called a community....

As the world waited to see if a judge would scrap the murder verdict in the shaking death of 8-month-old Matthew Eappen, the battle over the British au pair’s fate spilled into the court of public opinion. ““We don’t believe in the Oprah-fication of this case,’’ Woodward attorney Andrew Good told the Boston Herald–even as both sides Oprahed day and night. It was a reminder that high-profile cases today face two judgments–one from the court and one from the public....

Since the attack on the World Trade Center, people from across the country and around the world had offered their love, their money, their ingenuity, their blood and their bravery. Thank God for the folks from Alabama, though: New York had been reeling so badly that no one had even thought to ask for a marching band. “We really didn’t know how we would be received,” says Dr. Anthony Paul, who leads the band as part of a youth organization called the National Association for the Prevention of Starvation....

All said and done, let’s take a look at these eight teams and their chances for coming out on top of this season of the NBA. #1 Golden State Warriors Let the list off with the reigning champions at Oracle Arena. It’s true that the Golden State Warriors finished the regular season on a high note with a 57–25 record and were supposed to have a breeze into the semis but that’s where things got messy....

Roe continues to be the law of the land, enshrining a “constitutional right” to abortion that can, oddly enough, be found nowhere in the Constitution. Thus Roe, if it is overturned, will require no constitutional rewrite. A right that is absent in the text will simply henceforth cease to exist as a matter of law. That would be a huge change. But, to my mind, a welcome one. The basic logic of Roe has been destroyed by modern technology....

Conservatives have taken pleasure in poking fun at the modern Left’s “Orwellian” tendencies—perhaps too much, actually, as overuse of the accusation has had the effect of limiting its potency. But as the woke ideology metastasizes within the American Left like the cancer it is, and as censors increasingly clamp down on anything sniffing of dissent to the regime’s orthodoxy, it is now clear that we are in a new age of Orwellianism....
