Announced at the start of November, The Dark Pictures: Switchback is an on-rails horror shooter set in the Dark Pictures Anthology universe. For those who invested in the first PSVR model, that experience might sound a little familiar. Back in 2016, releasing as a launch title for the original PSVR, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood released, offering a very similar experience. Based on the footage released so far, it seems as though Supermassive Games has taken the general formula of Rush of Blood, and has improved on it in a few distinct ways to create The Dark Pictures: Switchback....

Simply put, there are tragic and scary moments in the Gears of War games everywhere. There’s universally tragic things like the theft of a baby and then lying to the mother by telling her that her only child had died. Then, the baby must be killed by her own baby a few decades later. There is also the attempted genocide of the human race by The Locust during and after Emergence Day, when the faction took to the human cities all over the planet, destabilizing the government, but what can top even that?...

Few war leaders have ever faced as pleasant a dilemma as the one that awaited George Bush on Feb. 26,1991 for on that day, Bush learned that his high-stakes gamble in the Persian Gulf was finally paying off. Over the previous six months, Bush had essentially bet his presidency on the showdown with Saddam Hussein. He had struggled to build a multinational coalition against Iraq and deployed 443,000 U.S. and allied troops, together with their high-tech weaponry, in the Persian Gulf....

Khandra does not abandon his readers in this devastating landscape–and his narrative skill makes it impossible to turn away. He takes the reader on a relentless journey through the dank alleyways, squalid homes and blood-soaked public squares of Kabul under Taliban rule. By the end of the book, we have attended more than one public execution, witnessed unspeakable oppression and stared evil brutes in the face. Yet it is the journey into the beaten souls of Khandra’s characters that makes this book so affecting....

Arms do the job on the frontlines, while civil society, and especially church organizations, have been tackling the humanitarian consequences of the invasion—taking on the job of state authorities overwhelmed by the war. These cultural heritage and religious sites in Ukraine have been often deliberately targeted by Russian forces causing widespread destruction. The reason is twofold. Firstly, invaders are well aware that churches have been functioning as the central organizing force to mitigate damage to civil society; secondly, Russian forces presume that priests and pastors are agents of the Ukrainian government....

It might have been worse. Had I not reacted so quickly, instinctively pumping the brakes and yanking the wheel to the right, I could have run over the body. Then I would always have wondered if it was I who had killed him. There is irony in this thought, considering the consequences I would assume as a result of my stopping to aid a stranger on a moonless fall night....

That trend might be coming to an end, however. The Division’s new updates have enacted a lot of the changes players wanted to see post-launch, and Ubisoft’s stubborn refusal to give up on a game that showed so much initial promise may finally be paying off. According to Ubisoft, the number of daily active players in The Division has returned to what the game had at launch, which suggests that the newest content is succeeding in enticing a lot of players back for another go....

As expected, The Division plans to have a good mix of both free and paid updates, and the first five months alone will see a big influx of content intended to keep players engaged as they wait for the more meaty paid DLC offerings to arrive. Things kick off in April as a free update called Incursions introduces a new endgame event intended for squad-based play. This is followed by another free update in May known as Conflict that will be centered around the Dark Zone PvP areas while also introducing another endgame incursion mission at the iconic Columbus Circle....

According to multiple posts across the official Ubisoft forum and The Division subreddit, many gamers have not yet received the hazmat suit that was to be awarded to them as a bonus for pre-ordering the game at select retailers. Gamers who have entered the code to receive their bonus have either received an error message upon entering the code or discovered that the hazmat suit wasn’t awaiting them once they went to the rewards vendor in-game....

YouTuber Arekkz has put together a handy video showcasing the first three gear sets players will find along their travels in The Division after his hands on session at the UBiLounge. The gear sets with this expansion don’t appear to be centered around specific play styles, instead each offers new and interesting perks for players to experiment with. [HTML1] The B.L.I.N.D. set provides players with bonus pulse damage, 100% Blind/Deaf Resistance, and if the player has at least four pieces equipped, then killing a target will create a flashbang effect at that position....

But according to Ubisoft Massive’s Martin Hultberg, Snowdrop’s impressive capabilities can be used for more than just massive cities, and that the engine may find its way into future Ubisoft titles. Here’s what Hultberg had to say when asked about the future of their engine: While there were myriad reasons why The Division was in development for so long, having to develop the Snowdrop engine from scratch played a part....

Released last month in the first major content update alongside the Falcon Lost incursion mission in The Division, gear sets allow players to collect various pieces of armor that provide additional bonuses for the more pieces you’ve collected. The Sentry’s Call set is marksman favored, and provides the Stalker talent when all four pieces are worn. The talent marks an enemy after a headshot is scored, increasing damage to them by 15% for 10 seconds and up to three times each....

In a blog post shared on The Division website, Massive Entertainment outlines the changes and additions coming to the game, which will undoubtedly cause severe changes to the way players engage with both AI enemies and each other. The changes affect nearly every aspect of PvP and will push players to try new builds with unique weapon and gear combinations. The changes will be introduced during a PTS (Public Test Server) testing period which is set to take place in the near future....

The 2022-23 season should be no different with the group stage set to take shape when the draw is held on August 25. A total of 32 clubs will be split into eight groups of four with only two sides from each able to make it to the knockout rounds. Prior to the draw, clubs are drawn into pots based on their UEFA club coefficient ranking with the exception of Pot 1....

Episode five takes place in 2013, three years after the successful deal with Walgreens to begin installing the Theranos wellness centers in stores. Despite that massive time jump, the scientists back at the company aren’t much closer to developing a product that actually works. Though Elizabeth Holmes has put her partner Sunny Balwani in charge, he’s done little more than yell at people. Balwani’s anger issues have come more into focus as his role in the company becomes more prominent, and Naveen Andrews’ performance perfectly sells the unhinged intimidation of the character....
