Non-fungible token (NFT) technology and the metaverse could present some interesting opportunities for the fashion industry, but digital clothes should not be one of them. As an industry, we should leverage new technologies with practicality. The fashion industry has a long list of absurd, short-lived trends in its history. Digital clothes for digital avatars certainly feel like the latest entry. The metaverse is coming, but its timescale is hazy. Just because tech giants like Meta and Google say that something is here doesn’t mean that it is....

Parikrma have made the switch between divisions effortlessly and are still unbeaten after seven games meaning they lead the Division 1 table going into the break. Chiranjeevi M is having a breakout season with the forward scoring 10 times in 7 outings. Nikhil Gopal has undoubtedly become one of the best players in the league and the young stalwart defender is as consistent as they come. Kings of Past…...

Kim Kardashian was the hostess of Wrestlemania 24 and even wrestled as part of a promo for Total Divas. This list includes the top 5 instances of celebrities showing up at WrestleMania. Mike TysonThe baddest man on the planet During his heyday in professional boxing, Mike Tyson took time out to act as the special enforcer for the WWE title match between Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin at Wrestlemania 14....

RELATED: The Greatest Seinen Anime Of All Time That being said, not all demon hunters in anime are masters of their craft. The fact of the matter is that some of these hunters are weak, goody, ineffective, or a combination of all three. This leads to a situation where demons can easily get the upper hand, and the following characters are perfect examples of such incompetent demon hunters. Kokichi Muta (Jujutsu Kaisen) It’s not his fault that Kokichi is one of the least effective demon hunters in Jujutsu Kaisen....

Furthermore, there have been tons of Unreal Engine 5 concept videos made online that have only boosted hype for games made with its capabilities. It all remains to be seen, of course, but some of these videos stand head and shoulder over others. RELATED: All Games Confirmed to Be Using Unreal Engine 5 So Far Assassin’s Creed Japan Fan-Made Unreal Engine 5 Trailer Assassin’s Creed fans have wanted Japan in the franchise for years, and it seems safe to say that this concept trailer captures that perfectly....

In an interview with PSM3, Team ICO head Fumito Ueda said that he originally wanted the grace an elegance of a female main character to offset the brutish strength of the bird/dog creature in the game. Then when thinking more on the topic of gender, Ueda decided to go with a male character instead because of his belief that a male character would have greater gripping power. Worth noting is that fact that all of Team ICO’s games from Shadow of the Colossus to Ico have had some sort of climbing mechanic that required a tremendous amount of fingertip strength and all of their main characters have been male....

A willowy, fine-boned beauty, Tree was among the last of a species: the patrician-activist committed to what used to be known, among other proper Puritans, as “the higher life.” Daughter of an Episcopal bishop (Malcolm Peabody), sister of a governor of Massachusetts (Endicott Peabody), wife of a British multimillionaire (Ronald Tree), mother of a famous model (Penelope Tree) and of a Pulitzer Prize-winning author (Frances FitzGerald), she seemed remarkably attuned to the dispossessed....

Although the tweet is no longer available online, the message from Yoshido simply referred to The Last Guardian, reading, “Gone gold. Waddup.” As of writing, there has been no explanation as to why the Sony Producer has taken down this specific post on Twitter, but even so, it’s certainly enough to cause fans of one of the most anticipated games of holiday 2016 to breathe a sigh of relief that it’s finally going to be released to the public....

In a new interview with IGN, The Last Guardian’s creator, Fumito Ueda, reveals that “the fact that it took a long time to develop was completely unexpected.” Ueda also explains that “we thought that Ico and Shadow of the Colossus took a long time to develop so one of the missions of The Last Guardian was that we wanted to create something good in a short period of time.” The creator also reveals that “it would be nice to talk about all the struggles we’ve been through but there’s a lot of things that we can’t say yet....

Before The Last of Us even started airing on HBO, audiences were comparing it to The Mandalorian – not just because it’s a science fiction series starring Pedro Pascal, but because it revolves around a surrogate parent-child relationship. But The Last of Us’ Joel and Ellie are a very different duo than Mando and Grogu. Aside from the obvious differences (The Last of Us is set on Earth while The Mandalorian takes place in a galaxy far, far away), there are some key distinctions between the nuances of their character dynamics....

This of course has some pros and cons associated with it. The obvious disadvantage of this method is that it takes more time and requires players to remember the code, but on the other hand, the codes for safes in The Last of Us 2 are all readily available on the internet now. RELATED: The Last of Us 2: Where to Find the Strange Artifact This means that those players too lazy or too busy to search for the codes themselves can access them much easier....

There’s also The Last of Us 2’s standalone multiplayer mode, Factions, currently in development at Naughty Dog. While details on The Last of Us 2 multiplayer remains scarce, random teases and job listings paint a picture of a more ambitious and large-scale project that should appeal to not just the fans of the Factions mode from the first game, but also to the broader PlayStation community. It could even act the same way as Halo Infinite’s upcoming free-to-play multiplayer mode will for the Xbox community....

Although known for her performances in 24, Bosch, and Timeless, gamers will best know Wersching for her performance as Theresa “Tess” Servopoulos in The Last of Us, a role for which she did motion-capture and voice acting. Geoff Keighley first teased the existence of Tess on his Twitter account shortly before the character featured in a trailer shown during the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards. Wersching also voiced a minor character, Tassyn, in Bioware’s Anthem....

Although The Last of Us’s release date was in June seven years ago, September 26 is the day the in-game virus attacked the world, and so for the last several years, Naughty Dog has been celebrating the day formerly known as Outbreak Day on the 26, having renamed the festivities in light of the very real pandemic still affecting so many people around the globe. Fans often get access to content like posters and PS4 themes, and before The Last of Us 2 came out, players were sometimes treated to teasers about the sequel....

This feature saw players aligning with either the Hunters or Fireflies and surviving for 12 weeks. To survive successfully, they needed to perform well in their matches and collect supplies, which would be used to feed and care for a growing camp of survivors. Though this camp was represented by a large circle, and each survivor was ultimately just a dot, The Last of Us franchise’s upcoming multiplayer spin-off can take things to the next level....

5 p.m. Former President George W. Bush says he and his wife, Laura, are saddened by the death of Amway co-founder and Orlando Magic owner Richard DeVos. Bush says Thursday in a statement that the 92-year-old DeVos “was one of the great entrepreneurs — and great Americans — of our time” and “used his business to empower others and advance the universal values of freedom, opportunity, compassion, and personal responsibility....

3:20 p.m. Allrounder Andre Russell has been replaced in West Indies’ 15-man squad for the remainder of the Cricket World Cup after failing to overcome a left knee injury that curtailed his bowling. The International Cricket Council says it approved Sunil Ambris, a 26-year-old top-order batsman, as a replacement for Russell. Russell played an important role at the start of the West Indies’ campaign, taking two wickets in the opening win over Pakistan and another two against Australia....

4:15 p.m. Papa John’s founder John Schnatter says his use of a racial slur was taken out of context, but he feels “sick” about the incident. Schnatter stepped down as chairman of the company’s board this week after Forbes reported that he used the N-word during a media training exercise. When asked how he would distance himself from racist groups, Schnatter reportedly complained that Colonel Sanders never faced a backlash for using the word....

Fiercely independent, the voters of New Hampshire refused Tuesday night to follow in the footsteps of their Iowa brethren, who cast their ballots last week for Obama and Mike Huckabee—candidates who compensate for a lack of seasoning with a surfeit of charisma. Instead they chose Clinton and McCain. Tested hands, both claimed that their Beltway experience would better advance the cause of change (which, according to the exit polls, was what most voters were looking for)....

THOMAS: Sean, why have you taken a look at Reagan, and have other historians started to take another look at Reagan? WILENTZ: It’s interesting. It’s no secret that intellectuals, generally being liberals, didn’t think much of Ronald Reagan at the time. Unlike Roosevelt, who got covered right away—as soon as he died there were books out about [him]—it took people a long time to catch up with Ronald Reagan. But I think that now they can no longer ignore him....
