According to the sales monitoring company, Chart-Track, The Division had the biggest launch for the first three months of any year, a long standing record previously held by Gran Turismo 4, which originally launched on the PlayStation 2 back in 2005. The Division also marks the biggest launch of a Tom Clancy title ever, and only finishes behind Watch_Dogs and Assassin’s Creed III for the biggest launch of any Ubisoft game....
For those unaware, Scavenging in The Division is essentially an exploration attribute type of a player’s character that can be affected by stats, skills, gear, and weapons, and its primary function is the ability to increase the chance of finding more and better items. As it happens, one intention of coupling gear with the Scavenging attribute helps an object become more useful for farming high end weapons and high end gear once players reach the end game with the increased chance that a roll for an item’s quality after it is dropped will end up at a higher state than normal....
At his father’s urging, Bernhardt headed off to college. But his mind was still on a military career. He joined not only Army ROTC but a special elite unit run by the Green Berets. Then in 1967, in the middle of his sophomore year, he dropped out and enlisted in the Army. He had only the haziest sense of what was going on in Vietnam: “It appeared to be about a small country that was having communism shoved down its throat, while we were trying, at least ostensibly, to give people a chance to do what they wanted to do....

European governments are now faced with a challenge. Option 1: they could ignore the current 2 percent inflation rate, cut interest rates fast and abandon the notion of holding their budget deficits below 2 percent of GDP–a requirement under the stability pact the EU countries all signed in the mid-1990s as a prudent fiscal measure to support the introduction of the euro. The alternative is to go with a more classically European response: stick to the rules, and meet the 2 percent deficit by raising taxes or slashing spending....
This system is the survival mode that came packaged with The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition as well as the one seen one year after launch for Fallout 4. Depending on how one sees the involvement of Bethesda during the development of Fallout: New Vegas, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Fallout: New Vegas was the first Bethesda game to have survival mode, or hardcore mode. The survival mode was meant to challenge players with the gritty realism of eating, sleeping, and traversing an expansive open-world without fast travel, and it’s a fan-favorite inclusion in some games....
Photographs of members of the army’s La Legión, a regiment known as the Bridegooms of Death (very metal), went viral after people began fawning over the army force’s notable pastel green uniforms and the distinctively low-cut shirts the men were wearing. “Spain is deploying its army to help manage their coronavirus outbreak and not to be insensitive at an anxiety-inducing time but uh… I think I speak for all New Yorkers when I say, Spain, hi, can you deploy some of that in our direction?...
“The fetish for manufacturing is part of the general fetish for keeping white males of low education outside the cities in the powerful positions they are in in the U.S.,” Posen said. As proof, Posen argued that no one cared when recessions hurt Black Americans. Posen’s words revealed more than he probably wanted to, like the elitist sentiment of wanting people with less education to have less power, or the way rich elites pander to Black Americans by mentioning them to shut down conversations about class disparities, or the ignorant and racist view that Black Americans don’t work in manufacturing....
RELATED: MCU: The Strongest Villains, Ranked There are plenty of great things to say about Eternals. It’s not jam-packed full of fun one-liners or action-packed scenes akin to the other films in this franchise but it does have its moments. There will be spoilers to properly discuss the very best Eternals has to offer. 8 Nope, Stairs Kit Harrington’s character, Dane, isn’t in the movie much. When he is Dane is a standout character like when the Deviants first attack in London....
The Expanse began as a book series, which concluded after nine installments in 2021. The show version also ended in 2022, after adapting the events of the first six books of the series to the screen. For audiences, it was a bittersweet end; both iterations of the story of the Roci crew were finished up properly, but there was a lingering appetite for more material. The universe of the books – and consequently, the show – is bursting with fascinating characters and a few dangling plot threads....
The Warriors have yet to lose a game, while the 76ers can’t win one. MORE: Classic photos of Stephen Curry | Magic says Lakers won’t end Warriors’ streak The Sixers almost ended their streak Monday, but fell 100-95 to the Timberwolves despite holding a five-point lead with 2:30 remaining. The loss was their 15th in a row to begin this season and their 25th in a row dating to last season....
One of DC’s latest upcoming forays into the TV world is its recently-pilot-ordered Gotham Knights series on The CW. Set in a timeline where Batman has died, the story tasks his former colleagues to come together with the children of the departed hero’s greatest foes and protect the city in his stead. If that sounds familiar, it’s probably because this is bizarrely not the only impending project bearing the Gotham Knights name....
Over on Twitter, the official Dark Pictures account released an image showing the interior of a cave, some sort of statue taking up the right-hand side. In the center, a carved staircase slopes up towards a hole in the wall, which radiates light. It’s difficult to discern, but it appears that sand is moving into the cave from the exterior. Along with the image, the tweet reads “you’ve been kept in the dark long enough....
The Rockets general manager found himself at the center of controversy after he sent out a seemingly straightforward message on social media. But Morey’s six-word post pushed the NBA into a difficult dilemma with China, and there doesn’t appear to be a simple resolution in sight. Here’s how the situation started, the intense reactions that followed and what could come next. MORE: LeBron’s hypocrisy hits hardest with comments about Morey, not China itself...
The Day Before’s core concept isn’t new, as its many comparisons to DayZ and The Division suggest, but it’s the execution on its concepts that draws fans in. It promises lots of liberty exploring the post-apocalyptic world, battling undead hordes, and hunting other players. There’s one important thing that The Day Before needs to deliver on to make those elements pay off, though. Its world can’t just be one loot dump after another....
Last week a federal judge in San Francisco threw a roadblock onto Barry’s bridge. Judge Marilyn Hall Patel ordered all material copyrighted by the major record labels removed from Napster’s network, effectively shutting down the site, and the day after the ruling Barry’s voice was a study in resignation. “I think the injunction will end the service as we know it,” he said. The Recording Industry As-sociation of America and bands like Metallica hope he was right, since they view Napsteresque music swapping as nothing less than property theft on a massive scale....
In light of all that, the news of Michael Dorris’s suicide in a New Hampshire motel room on April 11 came as an ugly shock. Even friends who had known of the 52-year-old author’s depression were surprised. “He was despondent,” said Suzan Harjo, a friend of 30 years who last saw Dorris a month ago, “but he never mentioned he had contemplated taking his own life.” Even more shocking were reports that the author had been under investigation in Minneapolis, where the family now lives, for sexually abusing one of his children....
And Saturday’s Celebration Bowl will only heighten the hype. The game ended with confetti flying, but it was not for Sanders’ Jackson State Tigers. North Carolina Central survived a 41-34 overtime thriller, leaving Sanders the task of trying to gather his team one last time to hear the Jackson State fight song together. At least a half-dozen players were in tears on the field, but Sanders tried to gather each and lead them over to the band....
If the Devil doesn’t make work for idle hands, some would-be nuclear warlord might do it for him - Muammar Kaddafi, say, or Saddam Hussein. Both Russia and the United States are deeply concerned that unemployed Soviet nuclear-weapons scientists may try to sell their skills to unscrupulous bidders overseas. So far, there’s no evidence that a brain drain has actually begun. But the CIA has heard that countries like Iran, Libya and Iraq “have been making attempts to try to get these people,” says an intelligence source....
