Previously, the Dark Pictures games, and by extension Until Dawn, featured normal “everyman” characters as protagonists. This is a common move in a lot of horror media as a way to heighten the tension as average people without training are pitted against supernatural or otherwise dangerous threats. Games like Resident Evil, however, base scares on the idea that even military-trained combatants can still be overwhelmed by the sheer number or ferocity of its threats....

In order to grab the attention of people that already know how Westeros eventually sorts itself out, House of the Dragon has to lay out an entirely different story. Of course, the fact that the Targaryens are front and center of this particular story gives it a brand-new feel right off the bat. There’s also another twist from Game of Thrones in the fact that while the horror stories from GoT told the story of a Targaryen family that were murdering crazies, this generation seems perfectly sensible....

These better times are finally coming, according to a report by the investment bank Goldman Sachs that states an expected combination of strong nominal income growth and further declines in home prices in the first half of the year will improve affordability within the market in 2023, despite high mortgage rates. Some cities—especially in the Pacific Coast and Southwest regions—will see larger declines than others when it comes to falling home prices, while others will hardly catch a break from the skyrocketing prices reached in 2022....

Beverly was forced to leave the Rockets' win over Philadelphia early in the second quarter, walking gingerly to the bench before heading to the locker room, according to CSN Houston. The Rockets called the injury a right knee sprain and coach Kevin McHale said Beverley would get an MRI on Friday — the results of which, it appears, led to the report of the torn meniscus. How long Beverley is out depends on how severe the tear is and how patient Houston decides to be with the injury, information which isn't yet available....

Line: Pitt -3, Total: 53.5 Line movement: Pittsburgh opened at -3 or -2.5 and that is widely where it sits midweek. In some cases, the line rose from -2.5 to -3, but that represented the bulk of the action. The total has a wider variety, opening anywhere from 53 to 54.5. Treasure Island posted a 52.5 with 54.5 still available elsewhere. For updated spreads and totals, visit our live odds page....

While it may seem unrelated to the war between the cartels, the murders play an important part in the season as a whole, when police officer Victor Tapia (played by Luis Gerardo Méndez) begins to investigate who is behind the deaths. The storyline, much like a lot of Narcos: Mexico and its predecessor Narcos, is based on fact, and is something that showrunner Carlo Bernard felt was important to include in order to show the wider impact of the drug trade....

The idea of 911 is simple: when you need to call for help, there’s an easy to remember three-digit number that can never be used for anything else. It’s universal across the entire US (and Canada since both countries use the same telephone switching system). It is not only universally used in every state and across 97% of the geographical United States, but 911 is also universal regardless of the type of emergency....

Because of all the previous exposure, it makes sense for Marvel to introduce an MCU multi-verse in a Spider-Man film. Spider-Man: Far From Home first teased the MCU multi-verse. The movie didn’t actually feature the multi-verse, but it caused a burst of fan theories and excitement by having J.K. Simmons reprise his role a J. Jonah Jameson.

Knowing the signs and obtaining a timely diagnosis can increase your chances of survival and recovery. Self-Check The signs and symptoms of a heart attack can vary from one person to the next. For some, there may be overt signs with tell-tale symptoms. Others may experience only minor pain similar to indigestion, while others still will have no symptoms until cardiac arrest (the catastrophic loss of heart function) strikes....

As a Manchester United fan yourself, how many times have you seen the rival fans making a mockery of your club, prior to the current season, after a disappointing defeat or an unexpected cup exit or a humiliation by a direct rival. I would reckon, it would be very few and far in between. The ones that I can myself remember to be a part of when my inbox was flooded with messages like – “look at your club, this is what they actually deserve” or “you guys have always been lucky,when referee is fair, you always lose” or simply “rofl” , “lol, these are the champions of England?...

On June 14, a Twitter thread went viral, telling the story of the woman believed to inspire the dummy, named Annie, millions learn to resuscitate with in CPR training. With over 17,000 likes, the thread detailed how “L’Inconnue de la Seine” (The Unknown Woman of the Seine) from the 1800s inadvertently inspired the dummy. “Since everyone is talking about CPR these days, I think this is the perfect time to narrate this story,” wrote Umme Faisal, a junior resident doctor at the College Of Medicine And Sagore Dutta Hospital, in the original tweet....

Supergiant Games has done a great job of seamlessly blending a Greek mythology-based story and world into a genre that isn’t known for such things. Integrating the constant death of rogue-like games with the realm of the dead itself was a genius decision that paved the way for multiple avenues of world-building and characterization. Hades works extremely well due to its Greek mythology setting, but it might also be feasible in a Norse mythology backdrop....

Here’s all we know so far about the phones, which are out now in China, but could still launch in the rest of the world. When will the Honor 80 series be released worldwide? Honor announced three Honor 80 phones in China on 22 November, alongside the Magic Vs folding phone: the Honor 80, 80 Pro, and 80 SE. It’s since joined that trio with another two models: the Honor 80 GT, and a new version of the 80 Pro with a flat display and some other tweaks....

This will always be less efficient than wired charging, but speeds are still mightily impressive. With the compatible charging pad (a separate purchase), Honor says it’ll get you from 0 to 50% in just 15 minutes. If you need something even faster, a wired connection supposedly delivers a full charge in only half an hour. Question marks remain over its long-term effect on battery health, but the starting capacity is encouraging....

RELATED: Hood: Outlaws and Legends - Is There Crossplay? Players will join a four-man squad, choosing a hero to play as before being tossed into the fray and ordered to pilfer gold from a compound crawling with lawmen. Through a combination of stealth and brute force, the team will need to incapacitate the guards and deal with an abundance of A.I.-controlled enemies. It’s exciting and exhilarating, with each hero offering up a different playstyle and giving players a chance to shine individually in their roles....

Jordan Clarkson scored 28 points and a basket by Rodney Hood in the fourth quarter gave Cleveland a late lead as the Cavaliers defeated the New York Knicks 113-106 Wednesday after squandering a 22-point lead. The Cavaliers ended the game on an 8-0 run sparked by Hood’s basket and two free throws by Matthew Dellavedova, who had a season-high 15 points in his first home game for Cleveland since being re-acquired from Milwaukee....

According to the LinkedIn page for Guerrilla Games game director Simon Larouche, the studio has switched to parallel development on two projects. One of these projects is the anticipated Horizon: Forbidden West, but the second project is a mysterious one that hasn’t been officially confirmed by Guerrilla Games. The second title has been in development for just over three years which suggests that the project will be unveiled in the near future....

Sony threw the audience a number of surprises during their E3 press conference this year including bringing back three games which fans have been salivating over for quite some time. While The Last Guardian, Shenmue III, and the long awaited Final Fantasy VII remake has people excited, another new IP from a well known studio also had the industry buzzing. Another major surprise came early on in the press conference as Guerrilla Games introduced the world to Horizon: Zero Dawn, a big departure from the studio’s previous work with the Killzone franchise....

Fans who have been following Horizon: Zero Dawn from the start should already be well familiar with the Thunderjaw, as it was featured in the very first gameplay trailer. This Tyrannosaurus Rex looking machine is one of the most deadly enemies Aloy will face in the wild as it comes equipped with an array of weapons from disk launchers, cannons, and a mouth that can fire off a laser. If that wasn’t scary enough, the Thunderjaw is also capable of using a radar scan to find any threats that may be hiding, making hit and run tactics against it much more difficult....
