Throughout the game, players can find Firefly pendants scattered across the world. These dog tags serve to remind players about how far the once monolithic faction has fallen since their zenith, fighting the overwhelming military occupation in the quarantine zones. Now, with rebellion run riot and a diminished FEDRA presence, the ranks of the Fireflies have been decimated by years of attrition. As the only known person with immunity to the fungal virus that has ravaged the world, Ellie is perhaps the only one who can bring this desolate land back from the brink of destruction....

The main arguments against The Last of Us Remake are that the game isn’t that old and it still holds up remarkably well. The gameplay is solid and the graphics still look great. On top of that, The Last of Us is heralded as the masterpiece that defined the PS3 generation, and has already received a remaster on PS4. A lot of fans are concerned that a remake might make some controversial changes when the story is already beloved the way it is....

5:35 p.m. Celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti says he is confident he will be “fully exonerated” of federal extortion and bank and wire fraud charges. He told reporters late Monday he will “never stop fighting the good fight” against powerful people and corporations. Avenatti spoke after appearing in federal court on extortion charges. He was released on $300,000 bond. Avenatti was arrested earlier Monday after federal authorities accused him of trying to extort millions of dollars from Nike....

3 p.m. A judge has ordered Wisconsin receiver Quintez Cephus to stand trial on charges that he sexually assaulted two drunken women this spring. Dane County Circuit Judge Jill Karofsky on Tuesday rejected a motion from his attorneys to dismiss one of the counts alleging that the women weren’t as impaired as investigators say. She later ordered him to stand trial after testimony at a preliminary hearing from a police detective who interviewed one of the alleged victims....

5:45 p.m. Being No. 1 at the Match Play won’t guarantee Dustin Johnson an easy trip into the weekend elimination rounds. Far from it. Johnson lost to No. 40 Branden Grace in a tight match that wasn’t decided until Johnson pulled a long birdie from the fringe on No. 18 wide left. The loss leaves Johnson 1-1 after two rounds and needing to beat No. 24 Hideki Matsuyama on Friday to have a chance to advance....

9:45 p.m. A day after a player was let off with a warning, a Croatia official has been fined 15,000 Swiss francs ($15,150) for making a pro-Ukraine video that soon appeared on social media after the team’s World Cup quarterfinal win over Russia. FIFA says Ognjen Vukojevic was also warned for “unsporting behavior.” The incident also involved Croatia defender Domagoj Vida, who received an official warning but no match sanction from soccer’s international governing body....

Since then Mir has become an even lonelier place. Last June three crew members slithered through the docking tunnels into the cramped Soyuz getaway capsule and sealed the hatch for the last time. They left behind a desolate, forsaken hulk. Sometime in the next week or two, an engineer at Mission Control in Korolev, near Moscow, will push a button, causing a rocket engine to fire three short bursts. Then, according to plan, perhaps the most significant achievement in the history of space exploration,rivaled only by the Apollo moon program, will burn up in the atmosphere and rain down on the South Pacific as so much debris....

The Legend of Zelda series is one of the longest-running Nintendo franchises to date, with the first entry releasing for the NES all the way back in 1986. Whenever a new Nintendo console is released, it’s safe to say that there will be at least one new entry in the series.

At least, most of the time he has a green tunic. Except when it’s a blue one or he has split into four different versions of himself using a sword. There is also the nega-version of Link to consider, too....

Chansley, aka Jake Angeli, seeks to have his sentence for obstruction of an official proceeding thrown out. It is unclear what grounds Chansley will base his appeal on. As of December 1, Chansley’s sentence is among the longest handed out to those who have so far been convicted over the attack. In November, the Department of Justice said more than 120 individuals have already pleaded guilty to a variety of federal charges, from misdemeanors to felony obstruction....

Back in the 80s, 90s, 00s, and so on, gamers had to wait two, three or sometimes even more years before a game came over from Japan. Some games didn’t even come over at all. The gap between the Japanese and Western release dates is getting thinner and thinner thankfully. RELATED: PS2 Classics That Only Came To The PS3 In Japan Some games even release worldwide like Monster Hunter Rise and Resident Evil Village....

Now, McKellen, Freeman, and many more with connections to the Lord of the Rings franchise have appeared in a recently released video asking for donations from fans in order for the project to reach the goal of raising $6 million....

Ever since, my wounds have been open and raw, the pain indescribable. I’ve chosen to remain silent. But as the world marks 25 years since the death of the great sage Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Rebbe, a man whose teachings guide me on the path towards healing, I feel an urgency to speak out. Throughout the searing agony of Lori’s funeral, the ensuing shiva (Judaism’s seven-day mourning period), and the many long, unbearable days and weeks that followed, one central teaching of the Rebbe has kept me going, motivating me to keep telling myself: “I was placed in this unfathomably challenging situation for a purpose and I’ve been given the strength to overcome it....

title: “The Macbook Pro Could Signal The End Of Apple S Desktop Computers” ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-17” author: “Vincent Currey” It used to be that a laptop was a little flip-top box of sacrifices. It ran hotter, the chips were clocked slower to mitigate that heat and use less battery power, and the hard drives were much slower. But now, with Apple’s mobile-first Apple Silicon systems, portable Macs are every bit as good as desktop Macs....

Morrison, a forensic artist from Inverness in Scotland, reconstructs the faces of the unknown dead. Some are based on ancient historical relics, while others are used to help identify missing persons in unsolved cold cases. More recently, he worked on reconstructing the face of the first-ever pregnant Egyptian mummy to be discovered. The woman is believed to have died around 2,000 years ago while 28 weeks pregnant. “I either work with CT scans or photographs of skulls,” Morrison told Newsweek....

Fans of Evangelion may expect a particular kind of sound from the composer, one that he continues to deliver quite well to this day, but Sagisu’s range is not something that gets enough inspection or praise. Since his start in anime during the mid-80s, Sagisu has explored poppy and metal jams with as adept a hand as his more moody, romantic, or tragic orchestral masterworks that have become associated with him....

Alongside an older and more experienced webslinger, the game took clear inspirations from the Batman: Arkham series when it came to its combat. This was a wise decision, as that franchise had perfected melee combat in a superhero genre. However, with Batman: Arkham doing so much right, Insomniac should continue to look to the franchise for inspiration. Specifically, a Marvel’s Spider-Man prequel game like Batman: Arkham Origins should be taken into consideration....

Since the Anantara luxury chain opened the Anantara Kihavah in 2011, world-class divers have flocked to the five-star luxury resort to explore the reefs, swim with manta rays or eat. Under the ocean in the SEA restaurant. But now, wellness-minded customers are coming for a different reason. Last year, the resort which already ran an award-winning spa, opened up Cocoon, the first med-spa in the Maldives (run by a registered nurse) where many are showing up with weight loss in mind - a sort of Canyon Ranch experience set in the middle of the ocean....

After two consecutive third-place finishes, Cantlay finally topped the leaderboard at the Memorial Tournament. Cantlay, who now has two PGA Tour wins, finished the weekend 19 under. He had his best round Sunday, 8-under 64, to break away from the crowded field. “It feels great,” he said. “It’s been a while since I’ve won, almost a year and a half, and being able to win on this golf course, a golf course that I really like and in front of Jack [Nicklaus] and making that putt on the last hole, I can’t tell you how good it feels....
