RELATED: The Best Modern-Day RPGs (According To Metacritic) Arts in Trails from Zero are especially powerful, and one of the main ways players will deal damage. There are a lot of arts available to use, and each one varies in utility and effectiveness. Here are the best Arts in the game, based on their utility. 10 Calamity Claw Buffs and debuffs are a big part of Trails combat, especially when facing some of the more powerful enemies in the series....

RELATED: 5 Reasons Age Of Calamity Is The Best Hyrule Warriors Game (& 5 Why The Original Is Better) Though they aren’t as big of a deal today, 3D graphics were huge when they were first made. Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are the first 3D games in their respective series. They both released on the Nintendo 64 and were the inspiration for many other games, even today....

In Saturday’s later tip, Kentucky is getting a lot of respect from the oddsmakers despite being a No. 8 seed. The Wildcats are small favorite over No. 2 seed Wisconsin (8:49 p.m. ET, TBS). Here are leans from The Linemakers on Sporting News: UConn vs. Florida (-6.5, 126.5) At this point in the tournament, we're no longer considering how these teams are seeded. UConn, after all, has made it through an impressive list of quality opponents to get here, and Napier is one of the best players in the county....

What Is the LinkedIn Learning Hub? LinkedIn will be launching its own skill building platform, the LinkedIn Learning Hub, during the second half of this calendar year. At the moment, it can only be accessed by a small pool of beta testers around the world. Once the LinkedIn Learning Hub has enabled worldwide access, the company says that its corporate Learning Pro customers will be automatically upgraded to the Learning Hub for “at least a year” at no cost....

While his appeal was aimed at stirring the conscience of the West, Walesa also hoped to shore up his standing at home. Accused of harboring dictatorial ambitions during his 1990 drive for the presidency, he is now often dismissed as largely powerless. According to a recent public-opinion survey, only 20 percent of Poles believe that he still plays the role of an “arbiter” in the chaotic political marketplace; in another survey measuring support for Polish officials, a plurality rejected all the listed names....

If these were normal times, the story would lead everywhere. The news channels would have economists on all day talking about what it means, not just for President Donald J. Trump’s re-election prospects, but for the health of the dollar and the status of the recovery. Faced with numbers like that, the national conversation should be about whether America will ever regain its leadership role in the global economy. Instead, everyone is talking about whether the November 3 election can, or should, be postponed....

Four years before, at the age of 56, she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She had none of the classic risk factors, other than simply being a woman and growing older; she’d had children early in life, breast-fed them, avoided alcohol, exercised vigorously, and she was not overweight. And there was no known cancer of any type in our family. All of that may help explain why my mother’s gynecologist had been so reassuring a year earlier, telling her that the lump in her breast was nothing to worry about....

Thus ends Apple’s embarrassing public search for its next-generation operating system. (Picture Ford admitting it wasn’t capable of making engines anymore.) Amelio says he chose Next instead of the much hyped Be software because of a ““perfect match’’ with Apple’s plans. Though no specific product was announced, Jobs and Amelio claimed that a new system would be implemented by 1997, and it would be able to run current Mac software....

Well, it turns out things got moving the same way much of Burr’s career keeps moving forward, because of comedy. The comedian was never really meant to be some galaxy-shaping presence in the eminent pew pew franchise. It all started because Jon Favreau, the showrunner for The Mandalorian, thought it would be funny to include someone like Burr who spends more time making fun of Star Wars than watching it....

While Andromeda was poorly received, there was one change it made that could be a great addition to the Mass Effect Remastered Trilogy if included as an option. While many fans will want to replay the games exactly as they were just with a graphical upgrade, this change could help a replay of the trilogy feel more original and nuanced the second time around.

Then a team of marketers devised a solution. Launched in 1999, GladWare is a line of lighter, less expensive plastic containers with a simple marketing proposition: Not as Good as Tupperware. GladWare won’t withstand as many trips from freezer to microwave, and it’s not meant to be bequeathed to your grandchildren. But at 50 or 75 cents a container, there’s no violin music if it ends up in a cafeteria trash can or Barney next door “forgets” to return it....

(Henry Holt. $27.50) sprawls over three continents and half the 18th century. Its central narrative is factual. In 1764 two Englishmen, the astronomer Charles Mason and the surveyor Jeremiah Dixon, were hired by the Royal Society to settle the boundary dispute between Maryland and Pennsylvania. The job took five years, but we still feel its effects. Ten years before the Revolution, Mason and Dixon sawed the country in two....

This year, Mickelson will pair with Tom Brady, his partner from the second “The Match” competition, and take on one of the best young golfers in the game, Bryson DeChambeau. His sidekick will be Aaron Rodgers, which sets up a second battle of NFL MVPs in “The Match” history (Brady vs. Peyton Manning was the first). Brady was voted Super Bowl MVP in 2021 while Rodgers was voted NFL regular-season MVP for 2020....

Daredevil was the first Marvel series to debut on Netflix, but its success was quickly followed by Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Jones is portrayed by Krysten Ritter throughout the series, while Mike Colter acts as Cage. The three characters eventually met one another in the Netflix miniseries The Defenders, which also included Finn Jones’ Danny Rand from the Iron Fist series. Both Jessica Jones and Luke Cage have grounded stories like that of Murdock, but Jones and Cage’s origin stories are much darker....

Times are changing, though, in part because of undeniable turnarounds of some consistent strugglers. Orlando City and the Chicago Fire have looked markedly better in 2017, the Columbus Crew appear over their 2016 struggles and expansion arrival Atlanta United just might be one of the best teams in the league. Sure, the Philadelphia Union are looking destined for a nightmare season, but it’s tough to argue the fact the East has more tough teams now than at any point in recent memory....

Investigators have never confirmed the line of inquiry. Yet that hasn’t stopped the speculation: “World Trade Center terrorist Mohamed Atta and several of his bloody henchman led secret gay lives for years,” reported the National Enquirer in its Nov. 6 issue. It’s enough to make many a gay man or lesbian seethe with rage. This line of thinking brings back painful memories of sensational media stories that have time and again equated gay with evil–from the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer to the Gianni Versace murderer Andrew Cunanan....

[HTML1] Up until about two months ago, gamers didn’t even know that Naughty Dog’s highly anticipated survival title, The Last of Us, offered an online multiplayer experience. Most assumed that, like the first Uncharted, The Last of Us would be a singleplayer-only experience, perhaps even a singular, one-off experience (read: no sequels). However, that was not the case, and as it turns out Naughty Dog was tooling The Last of Us’ multiplayer to be"best ever....

After one fan spotted a key detail in the closing scene that has changed some opinions about one character’s fate, many players have been revisiting the final hours of the game for another look. Along the way to those closing moments, there are some other questions that are raised and seemingly intentionally never clearly answered in The Last of Us 2. One of those mysteries revolves around the current status of the Fireflies, an organization that has been central to the narrative of both games, even if it has remained mainly off screen....

The unprecedented performance of The Last of Us 2 puts it in the company of—or on top of—a group of all-time great titles. The runner-up game in the year 2020, Hades, which took the award at SXSW and a bunch of other high-profile events, only managed to win a total of 64 GotY awards. In third place, Ghosts of Tsushima took only 1 less than Hades, sitting at a grand total of 63....
