Robinson spoke with Game Rant about how Vericidium created Sector’s Edge, and how it monitors the open beta performance. “It’s good to hear a fresh player’s perspective who’ has never played the game before,” Robinson said. “We know what can kill a game. What we hate about some other games that really get on our nerves.” Growing up a fan of first-person shooters, Robinson wants to keep the casual gameplay spirit alive....
Then Ammon was murdered. His battered body was found inside his $5-million summer home in East Hampton, N.Y. on Oct. 22. Nearly a month later, no suspects have been identified, no arrests made, no murder weapon found, and no clear motive given for the slaying. “It’s a big question mark,” says David Moore, chairman of 24/7 Media Inc., an online ad agency on whose board Ammon had served as chairman until this spring....
The geode of Pulpí was discovered in 1999 in the Mina Rica silver mine in southeast Spain. The walls of the cave are covered with huge crystals that are so transparent they look like blocks of ice. It is thought that the geode of Pulpi is one of the largest in the world, with the interior measuring about 390 cubic feet. Huge crystal caves have been discovered across the globe in recent decades, including the El Teniente mine in Chile and, most famously, the Cave of Crystals in Naica, Mexico....
The noble art of explaining sci-fi mumbo jumbo with a handful of more easily-digested phrases has a long history in every medium. Writers often need something that can do whatever they need it to do within the bounds of the story without losing suspension of disbelief. One of the best all-purpose plot sealant solutions is technology that can do anything, but can’t be seen doing it. RELATED: 5 Narratively Brilliant Sci-Fi Inventions...
With the All-Star Game being hosted in Toronto, the NBA put together a mixtape of Carter’s best dunks while he was a Raptor. Which is only right, because pretty much every dunk he made during that time period was worthy of the “SportsCenter” highlight reel.

But what exactly does it mean, and where did it come from? Like dog food itself, its origins and precise composition are not entirely clear. But theories abound, and, to borrow some other current buzz phrases, it’s worthwhile to “drill down” on them and study them at a “granular level.” After all, jargon is a means of instantly signaling to colleagues and clients that you’re keeping up with a world that’s moving at Internet speed....
Stardew Valley: The Board Game is a cooperative game where players work together to fix up the Community Center, saving it from demolition by the Joja Corporation who wants to use the land to build a warehouse. Grandpa’s Goals also need to be completed, just like in the digital version of the farming sim. If the players can complete four of Grandpa’s Goals and restore all six rooms of the Community Center before the year is over, they win....
Sikoa is the younger brother of The Usos and Roman Reigns’ cousin. He made his main roster debut at Clash at the Castle and officially joined The Bloodline on SmackDown last week. This week’s NXT 2.0 witnessed the anniversary of the show’s rebranding. Carmelo Hayes was set to defend his title in the main event against an opponent of the WWE Universe’s choosing. Wes Lee was revealed to be the challenger, but he was removed from the bout after being attacked by Carmelo and Trick Williams in the locker room....
Turns out all the networks got their eggs from the same basket: the Voter News Service, a media pool organization that generates exit polls and election results. The company is jointly owned by a coalition of news companies to cut millions in data-collection costs. But on election night something went wrong, kicking off a stretch of nearly simultaneous botched calls. Now executives are scrambling to figure out where the system broke down....
The Switch is a versatile console and seems to be perfect for playing long RPGs like the Persona games because of how easy it is to pick up a Switch and immediately start playing. Although bringing Persona games to the Switch seems like a no-brainer, there’s already plenty of content that Persona fans would enjoy on the platform. Adding the games would be a great addition to the console’s library, sure, but it might cause fans to miss out on playing other games that are just as good and easily comparable....
Nintendo released its surprise free Jump Rope Challenge game on the Switch back in June of this year. The cute and simple title has players using Joy-Cons to hop up and down for exercise, as a bunny in a jumpsuit follows along on-screen. The delightful challenge is just another example in Nintendo pushing for its fans to be healthy along with their fun gaming hobby, as games like Wii Fit and Ring Fit Adventure have been successful in promoting exercise....
The president will be fresh out of a grueling three days of G7 meetings when he arrives at Windsor Castle for tea on Sunday. Along with Dr. Jill Biden, he will be greeted by a Guard of Honor, the U.S. National Anthem will play and then he will sit down with the 95-year-old royal, who has seen the great leaders of his nation come and go. The Bidens will have tea with Elizabeth at the oldest occupied castle in the world, where the monarch has been living during the coronavirus pandemic....
Cactuar also appeared later compared to the other mascots of the Final Fantasy series, first showing up in Final Fantasy 6. Since then, they have been everywhere - in both Final Fantasy and even games like Dragon Quest 10, Monster Strike, Mario Sports Mix, Monster Hunter World, Rise of Mana, Roblox, and Kingdom Hearts. That said, many would not guess this colossal cactus figure had humble beginnings, first appearing in the notebook of a high schooler....
On the other hand, maybe Jack should keep lying low. Who needs the Oscars, anyway, other than the chosen few nominees and the hangers-on who love them? The fact is, the Oscar telecast (scheduled for Feb. 24, assuming some sort of miracle) is the worst three hours and 27 minutes on television, and it has held that distinction for years and years and years. Go ahead, try to think of something, anything, memorable from a telecast in the last, say, five years....
Starting this DLC is very similar to the last, where players get prompted to do a certain action to begin the storyline. In this case, players watch the video that The Outer Worlds social media has already shared, which features Halcyon Helen being attacked and killed. From there, the story kicks off and introduces players to the characters who will play big roles in the DLC. RELATED: Avowed, The Outer Worlds DLC, and Everything Obsidian Entertainment is Working On...
Right now, players can pick up the PS4 and Xbox One versions of The Outer Worlds at Walmart for $27, which is 45% off its current list price of $49.99. It is worth noting that this is currently the most competitive price for The Outer Worlds given that other retailers are still offering it at full price. At the moment, it is unclear how long Walmart will offer The Outer Worlds at that price, but players interested should take advantage now while the offer is still available....
Creator Dana Terrace worked on Gravity Falls and the new DuckTales reboot before trying to devise her own series. “I was at an old job where I wasn’t feeling quite fulfilled artistically or emotionally, and I wanted to create my own thing,” Terrace told Newsweek back in October. From Hieronymus Bosch to Mickey Mouse Spending eight years growing up in Catholic school, Terrace developed an affinity for classic religious painters like John Bauer and Hieronymus Bosch, whose twisted takes on angels and demons would make for a “cool show in that art style....
The dog days were creeping up on the Washington Navy Yard, a placid backwater in the District of Columbia. One sultry day last August Vice Adm. Francis R. Donovan, chief of the Navy’s Military Sealift Command, sat down with his senior staff to review the overnight cables. On the table in front of them lay the Defense Department’s morning intelligence briefing. Those rumors about Iraq invading Kuwait? Just rumors. No basis in fact....
The first two episodes of The Patient dropped on Hulu on August 30 and set the context for the upcoming episodes. While at the outset, the show seems to revolve around serial killer Sam, The Patient could be deciphered as the human mind’s constant struggles with itself. The storyline of a therapist’s kidnapping is brilliant because it highlights the importance of mental health and the current rising wave of awareness around it....
