Strictly speaking, P.T. is not a game but is instead a teaser for Silent Hills, which was meant to continue the Silent Hill series, but the game never saw the light of day. Despite its relatively narrow scope, P.T. managed to become one of the most talked about horror titles in gaming, not just because of its hair-raising content, but also due to its disappearance from all storefronts, turning it into a rarity....

However, someone’s missing out on that adventure. Princess Zelda once again appears to have missed her shot at a playable role, and must be rescued by Link.

But even before either man spoke of the lessons of Afghanistan, it was obvious they had no intention of studying them, much less using them to “shape how we think about fundamental questions of national security and foreign policy,” in Blinken’s words Days before the Taliban began appearing in public with al-Qaeda kingpins, Blinken, Biden and their top associates met with Israel’s new prime minister, Naftali Bennett, in Washington....

Lewis had three jumps of at least 29 feet, including a wind-assisted 29 feet 2%. But, as Lewis said, “Mike had the one jump.” As the crowd of 60,000 roared an ovation for the new world champion, King Carl wiped tears from his eyes and walked away. Beamon, whose 1968 record set in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics was the oldest in the books, said: “I don’t think the drama is over....

As an 11-year-old kid, I sat on the couch donning my real Madrid jersey and waiting with bated breath, I was glued to the television watching the pre-game news and analysis with matchups between Messi Vs Ronaldo and Guardiola Vs Pellegrini hogging all the limelight. Almost two hours later, I was still glued to the television, albeit with moist filled eyes and a grief-stricken face. It wasn’t the way my beloved team lost which left me dumbfounded, rather it was about how the opponent had won....

Villains — like Ultron or Red Skull — only show up in one film and are expected to become fully formed in just one performance. This usually leads to villains’ actions not feeling fully justified by audiences or fans. The MCU has also not let villains join forces with others in cross-over events similar to the Avengers series. Perhaps if the MCU gave their villains the same treatment and character strategy as their heroes, the resulting films would feel that more satisfying to fans....

What makes it relevant now is that, less than two years ago, many Republicans imagined that 1996 might bring a similar upheaval. They had just captured Congress; they would retake the White House; the Democrats would slump into minority status. Oh, boy. To put it gently, this sort of speculation now looks like a long shot. Bob Dole trails President Clinton by roughly 15 to 20 points in polls. Anti-Republican sentiment could jeopardize their control of one or both chambers of Congress....

Microsoft’s new attitude to the Store wasn’t one of the headline announcements at its Windows 11 event, but it could prove significant. The company is making it easier for third-party developers to distribute their apps on the Microsoft Store, by removing the previous UWP (Universal Windows Platform) requirement and allowing software that uses Win32 installers. However, that’s not all. Microsoft will not make any money from these apps being on the Store, as well as leaving all development and updating to the companies themselves....
