For those unfamiliar with Bluepoint Games, it is the developer behind the remake of Shadow of the Colossus. This remake was praised for its ability to update the game’s graphics and controls while still maintaining the atmosphere and emotional weight which made the original so esteemed. As such, fans are thrilled for its remake of Demon’s Souls, as many believe the studio will live up to its name yet again....
The soundtrack is pressed on two beautiful golden discs, similar in color to the Gears 5 vinyl album that came out early last year. The artwork for the new vinyl was created by Ken Taylor and features the Maiden in Black on the front cover. The inside cover of the new pressing opens into an expansive gatefold that displays etched symbols in the same vibrant gold as the records themselves....
In the anime Tanjiro and his younger sister Nezuko’s life is shattered when their family is slaughtered by a demon and she is turned into one herself. Tanjiro immediately reacts contrary to the nature of the world and defends his sister’s life against the first demon slayer that they encounter. He is then compelled by that man to pursue a career in the Demon Slayer Corps in order to safeguard human life....
It’s a political Golden Oldie. The critique is that in a mad, “permissive” decade the nation threw away its will, its discipline, its faith in the family and the military, in moral absolutes and rightful authority. That view, and a strategy of selling it, helped bring conservatism to power and elect Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Wielding “values wedges” first honed in the 1960s, the GOP sliced middle-class Democrats from their ancient New Deal moorings....
In early April, Ansari was working late one night when a 12-year-old boy with a knife and 14-year-old girl decided to rob his store. After some sort of brief altercation, Ansari collapsed. Onlookers as well as police and medical personnel performed CPR on him, but when he was transported to the hospital, he was pronounced dead. “He was friendly. He was always smiling, everybody loved him,” Asif Ansari, one of his surviving sons, told the local press....
Carr began limping as he completed the third-down play late in the first quarter. He then walked to Las Vegas’ locker room as the Raiders kicked a field goal to cut their deficit to 7-3. “I don’t believe it’s a real tear,” Gruden told reporters. “But obviously if he can’t finish the game it’s got to be pretty significant.” Backup QB Marcus Mariota took over the Las Vegas offense with Carr out....
Black Lives Matter protests were revived after Chauvin, a 45-year-old white man, was filmed kneeling on the neck of 46-year-old Floyd, a Black man. Then a police officer, Chauvin kept his knee pressed for around eight minutes as Floyd repeatedly stated he could not breathe, later dying in police custody. As the court session is underway, here is a timeline of notable events that have transpired since Floyd’s death:...
Rose had been playing well before the All-Star break, but scored just nine points after shooting 2-of-9 from the field in a 100-91 loss to a short-handed Pistons team. MORE: Jackson excited to be in Detroit | Karl off to good start with Kings | Bosh out for season? “Being one of the leaders, for anyone to miss, I wouldn’t want it to be me,” Rose said Friday, per ESPN....
On Tuesday, the state’s top Republicans expressed interest in modifying Florida’s resign-to-run law, which would require DeSantis, who was re-elected to a second term this month, to resign from his current office in order to run for another office. Florida House Speaker Paul Renner and Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, who were formally sworn into their leadership posts this week, told Politico it would be a “good idea” for the governor to not have to resign if he were to formally announce a run....
DeSantis, while speaking at a press event centered around infrastructure improvements and economic developments Friday morning, indicated that Abrams winning the governorship in Georgia could bring about a Cold War between the two southern states. Abrams, who does not have an opponent in her upcoming Democratic primary in May, is seeking to unseat the current governor Republican Brian Kemp. This is her second run in the Georgia gubernatorial race....
Cantona gave an interview to the Guardian newspaper in the UK in May 2016 where he questioned Deschamps’ handling of Karim Benzema and Hatem Ben Arfa during his tenure in charge of Les Bleus. Benzema was barred from France’s Euro 2016 plans when he was implicated in an attempted extortion targeting his one-time international team-mate Matthieu Valbuena. France’s Court of Cassation, the country’s highest appeals court, annulled the validity of the investigation into Benzema’s alleged involvement in the blackmail plot in July and he has been available for international selection since Euro 2016....
“Regional militaries in the Western Pacific and Asia, including those of our partner nations, remain at readiness levels consistent with historical norms,” a senior Pentagon official told Newsweek because they were not authorized to speak on the matter. “We have observed no indications or received any additional information to make a conclusive assessment on the status of North Korean leadership or health of Kim Jong-un,” the official added. “We continue to monitor the situation....
In a weekly update from one of the co-founders of Burbio, which is tracking K-12 school openings this academic year, Dennis Roche noted that California had very few closures over the last few weeks. Roche told Newsweek that the state has actually kept schools open at one of the highest rates in the country so far this academic year. Last week, school closures on a national level reached their highest total—a trend driven by rising COVID-19 cases, staffing shortages and the Chicago Public Schools work action....
Last week it was a bad move on his part that likely cost Earnhardt a chance to win the Daytona 500. This time, it was something he ran over late in the race that prevented Junior from challenging winner Jimmie Johnson in Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. Despite those misfortunes, Earnhardt was second at Daytona and third at Atlanta and sits third in the Sprint Cup points standings going into next Sunday’s race at Las Vegas....
Destiny players, for example, have only just been able to get into the game on Saturday morning, which means they’ve missed more than 24 hours with the exotic vendor Xur. In most cases that would be fine, but since the implementation of the new exotic upgrade system, time with Xur has become more finite. There’s also the holiday travel to take into account, which likely kept some from being able to purchase the new exotic weapons and gear Xur had for sale....
In fact, later this month Bungie will host a series of livestreams at Gamescom in which the developer will reveal new multiplayer content. It is expected that Bungie will give Destiny players a closer look at the new Supremacy mode - which reportedly plays like the ‘Kill Confirmed’ mode in Call of Duty - and reveal something special for diehard fans. That something special is rumored to be private matches - something that Destiny players have been requesting for quite some time now....
For a little bit there, it seemed like Bungie might be pulling the plug on Xur, which wouldn’t be too surprising considering he’s starting to duplicate items, but alas the Agent of the Nine did make an appearance. And once again, Game Rant has all you need to know to find Xur and what items he has for sale over the weekend. This weekend, Xur has drifted slightly south and can be found right next to the Crucible Quartermaster responsible for selling weapons....
The Void 3.0 update was similarly conceived, as it is the first rework of a Light subclass to match the current Aspects and Fragments system implemented with Beyond Light’s Stasis. This opened up many possibilities for players to enjoy Void subclasses differently, something that was seemingly intended to be working with the new glaives and their corresponding seasonal mods, such as Suppressing Glaive. However, Destiny 2’s recent hotfix included two major nerfs to these systems: one to a specific PvP perk, the other to Suppressing Glaive itself....
While some fireteams are still struggling to conquer the Spire of Stars, a group of Guardians from Clan Redeem, the same clan who finished the previous raid lair with only two players, have managed to become the first in the world to do just that, defeating Val Ca’uor and gaining glory. The team, consisting of clan members Eon, Indica, Sweatcicle, Gladd, Modern, and Ehroar achieved the difficult task in little over 6 and a half hours....
For those that may not have been following closely, Bungie gave each of its four seasons for Destiny 2 Year 2 a different name. These seasons will be complemented by events and DLC releases, some of which will be free and some of which will be not. Season of the Forge is up next and presumably it starts after the reset on November 27th. Iron Banner The end of a season means a few things for Destiny 2 players, mostly that some quest steps will lose progress and some gear will be pulled from the rotation....
