Alec Guiness, who died on August 5 at age 86, was perhaps the most perfect example of a character actor in our century. In his first speaking role on stage, in a melodrama called “Queer Cargo,” the 20-year-old novice played a Chinese coolie in the first act, a French pirate in Act 2, and a British sailor in Act 3. It set the tone of a shape-shifting sixty-year career that would bring him a Knighthood, two Oscars, a Tony, and an unexpected fortune as the recipient of 2....
He is driven to the cricket academy by his old man and joins his friends- others who don’t believe in Sunday being the day of rest made by God- in a warm-up jog across The Oval. The coach arrives soon after, acknowledges the parents sitting on the academy’s gallery with a wave and walks out to join his Under-13 team.

It’s a weighty task. The diet drive is headquartered in Dubec, on the outskirts of Prague. Rudolf Poledne, a biochemist, has bombarded the village’s 1,800 residents with health propaganda. His team held a salad-making contest. (The primary-school principal won.) A local hospital has treated 400 high-risk patients with cholesterol-reducing drugs. The Central European Center for Health and Environment, the Berlin-based organization that launched the Dubec program, hopes to use the model across the entire former Eastern bloc....

STEELING OBAMA (Douglas E. Schoen, Los Angeles Times) Conventional wisdom suggests that these last two months have been bad news for Barack Obama. He hasn’t been able to close the door on Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, who swept West Virginia on Tuesday. He’s been dogged by controversies over his words and associates. Meanwhile, Republican John McCain has been getting a jump-start on the fall campaign. Although those things may be true, so is this: The last six weeks have been a great benefit to Obama – and may emerge as the most important period of his quest for the presidency....
Considering the history of the Elder Scrolls series, this does not come as much of a surprise. Each game in the series has focused on a single warrior’s quest to save the world from untold evils, so even though that world will now be populated with other player characters, the main quest is still a solo experience. Bethesda and ZeniMax decided on instances for the player’s story quests in order to simulate the experience of playing Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim, giving each player the opportunity to save the world unhindered by the typical problems of MMO gameplay....

Nothing is certain in the gaming industry, but a betting man would put Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel in Night City. It’s the iconic, de facto setting of the brand at large, and if it shifted just a few years or whatnot, it’s easy to explain any major changes to the setting. And if Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel remains in the iconic city, players should be able to see Ciri at some point....

Over the last 40 years, since the first Doctor Who game released, there have been plenty of attempts to put the Time-Lord in a video game.

Just to get this out of the way, those looking for a compelling story within The Division 2 will not find it. More often than not, the game’s key characters are forgettable, generic military types who spout a lot of staid argle-bargle during cutscenes and in mission dialogue, with their presence only fulfilling the bare minimum requirement of establishing a reason as to why players need to go shoot some bad guys and get some stronger guns and gear....
Those hoping to play the beta for The Division are going to have to wait until “early 2016,” unfortunately. Whether this means January, February, or even the early days of March is anyone’s guess, as Ubisoft avoided specifics when the company announced the beta’s delay. The delay of The Division’s beta may be especially frustrating for Xbox One owners, as one of the big announcements during Microsoft’s E3 2015 presentation was that Xbox gamers would have early access to the Division beta....

It looks like The Division is on the fast-track to being a commercial success, and this will help Ubisoft attract the investors it needs and keep Vivendi at bay....
