The Day Before is an open-world MMO survival game that appears from the gameplay trailers to be similar in style to The Division. One big difference, however, is the game’s implementation of horror. Midway through The Day Before’s announcement trailer, the player is chased into a skyscraper’s elevator, which leads them to a scene that belongs in a horror movie. The player is greeted by a dark and eerie office, seemingly filled to the brim with zombies, a setting that may sound familiar to fans of The Last of Us....

In disciplines other than singles India doesn’t see much success. India’s shuttlers performances in men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles are below par even in lower rung tournaments such as BWF Grand Prix and BWF Grand Prix Gold. Apart from pairs like Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponappa who had some spirited performances in Commonwealth Games in 2010 and 2014, not much is noteworthy from other shuttlers in recent years....

But McVeigh had another reason–a tactical reason-for taking his time. He did not want to get there too early, before the Alfred P. Murrah Building filled up with people. He wanted his body count…. The nubs of the two fuses he had installed the day before were sticking into the cab of the truck, just behind his left shoulder. McVeigh planned to light the two fuses, park the truck in the small parking area in front of the Murrah Building, and walk away....

But as the Rev. Paul Durham, pastor of Nashville’s Radnor Baptist Church, points out, many Christian-music listeners think of file-swapping as sharing God’s message. “It’s like a ministry,” he says. That’s how Marlee Welsh, 18, of Bethesda, Md., sees it. “You’re supposed to receive and spread God’s word,” she says, “and by that I don’t think downloading is stealing.” Darren Whitehead, youth minister at the People’s Church in Franklin, Tenn....

To unlock clans in The Division 2, players have to progress in the main story and complete the mission called ViewPoint Museum, where they recruit Grace Larson to their cause. This is the settlement mission for the Theater, and requires players to seize the ViewPoint Museum from the True Sons gang. Once this mission has been completed and Grace Larson has been successfully recruited, she will appear at the Theater....

Once players have seen everything there is to see in The Division, most will concentrate on replaying various pieces of content for the rewards offered upon completion. Of course, some might take the shortcut of hanging out in the Dark Zone to pinch rewards earned by other players once they’ve been gunned down. The point is that high-level players are likely going to be either replaying content or risking trips to the Dark Zone in order to improve their gear....

On the other hand, Bush’s plummet in the polls is producing an updraft strong enough to elevate Bill Clinton’s campaign, which recently has been a leaden dumpling. It would have been amazing if it hadn’t resuscitated when unemployment was rising in 10 of the 11 largest industrial states (all but Pennsylvania). Those 10 have 246 electoral votes, 91 percent of the 270 needed to win. Ross Perot, the helium-filled candidate, has lost some altitude because he has been punctured by attacks....

Looking back at some of the settings that previous The Elder Scrolls titles have already visited in the past, such as Skyrim and Morrowind, there is still plenty of room in the larger world of Tamriel. One of these places that might be the most likely is Hammerfell, with some fans theorizing that Bethesda may have even teased the location with a recent tweet about the upcoming title.

The Elder Scrolls 6 was something people talked about for years, even prior to its official announcement at E3 2018. The presentation consisted of a very brief teaser trailer, showing fog, then a seemingly empty rocky and arid landscape facing the ocean, and a stronghold standing over a steep cliff. Many fans, knowing the geography and the ecology of Tamriel, quickly came to the conclusion that the new mainline game will be set in the region of Hammerfell, but that remains speculation for now....

When looking back at the series’ most recent games, players will find that Skyrim and Oblivion are vastly different in terms of general dungeon design. While The Elder Scrolls 6 should certainly take inspiration from both predecessors, there’s a case for arguing that the dungeons should be more like Oblivion’s than Skyrim’s. Of course, that’s not to say that the new Elder Scrolls installment should do away with the design choice in Skyrim completely – just that it should lean more into Oblivion’s dungeon design....

Factions are a staple in any Elder Scrolls game. In fact, three organizations were present across all the titles, at least until Skyrim. These were the Fighters Guild, the Mages Guild, and the Thieves Guild. After Oblivion, the first two were replaced with the Companions and the College of Winterhold, respectively. That said, it could be worth reintroducing the old factions to The Elder Scrolls 6. RELATED: The Elder Scrolls May Benefit from a Fallout: New Vegas of Its Own...

The last time state governments attacked a program with such cost-cutting zeal was welfare reform in the mid-’90s. So why the arts, and why now? The obvious reason is that state governments are hurting for money and have big deficits they have to close. If it’s a choice between arts and public safety or arts and roads, you know that truck has already left the turnpike. Anticipating these all-too-familiar choices, arts leaders have spent much of the past decade churning out dozens of economic-impact studies to show that the arts are a great public investment: You want return?...

The pair grew closer on-stream towards the latter end of 2021, and earlier this year, revealed they were dating. Despite the seemingly short duration of their relationship, both Chance and Veibae have been through a whirlpool of incidents and continue to stay strong. Sodapoppin and Veibae met on Mizkif’s Parasocial While the exact moment they met each other is unknown, the pair’s first public appearance on a major stream was for Matthew “Mizkif”’s Parasocial, for the VTubers vs....

Going home may prove even tougher. Like many of the 5 million other Afghans who abandoned their violence-racked homeland over the past two decades, Muslim returned after the U.S.-led coalition toppled the Taliban last fall. Also like a growing number of Western returnees, he landed himself a good job: with the help of Afghan connections in the Washington, D.C., area, Muslim–who earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science from George Mason University–was appointed director of technology at the Foreign Ministry in Kabul....

Facebook phone can soon be a reality. Facebook is launching a press event tomorrow and invites has been sent all over the world. According Tech Crunch the press event has something to do with mobile. And for last two years we have been hearing innumerable whispers about the Facebook mobile. Though CEO Mark Zuckerburg has denied the rumors about the phone many times but then we are habitual to Facebook denial mode before the launch of any product....

Exactly how obesity promotes tumor growth is unknown, but people with more fatty tissue do have higher levels of insulin and estrogen, which encourage cell division. Weight loss causes a drop in hormone levels, so it’s extremely likely that it reduces cancer risk. To prove it, though, scientists would need to conduct another study using people who had successfully lost a lot of weight. The sad reason they haven’t? “There aren’t enough subjects,” says lead author Jeanne Calle....

But maybe it would be more appropriate to think of us as the Faustian generation. We didn’t exactly sell our souls to the devil—not collectively, anyway—but as we jog toward senior status, it’s hard to escape the sense that we were complicit in our own unique kind of unholy bargain. Most of us born in the early years after World War II grew up in a world of stability and order: lasting marriages, moms at home, fathers with permanent employment, local merchants who knew us and watched us, neighborhoods where the people next door were ever-present and predictable....

The proposal moved by FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel comes in light of recent data breaches and seeks to overhaul the current rules given the increased frequency, sophistication, and scale of the data leaks. “The FCC’s new proposals are a step in the right direction,” Jack Chapman, VP of Threat Intelligence with security vendor Egress, told Lifewire over email. “[They’ll] strengthen protection for data subjects and improve transparency between carriers, consumers, and the regulator itself, which should help to support the rights of data subjects in the current threat landscape....

One of those features that developer ZeniMax will use to set The Elder Scrolls Online apart from the pack is in its public dungeons. Thought to have been a thing of the past — weeded out in favor of instanced dungeons that require a prepared party — public dungeons are coming back for The Elder Scrolls Online. As expected, public dungeons will take on a form very similar to what is already featured in The Elder Scrolls series, like in Skyrim, only with other players involved....

When I was younger, I viewed the fetishization of Asian women in the media as a privilege. After all, what young woman doesn’t want to be part of a group so desirable, that there is a well-known term to encapsulate that obsession? Yellow fever. No one talks about this, but I know of other Asian women who have felt the same way. This perception was beneficial to my self-esteem when I was growing up....
