The game’s developers were inspired by the multiple accounts of Robin Hood’s life in English folklore, and the various potential origins of the legend. The game also avoids specifics. The government which teams of players will compete to steal from, for example, is named only “The State.” Player character’s are given first names in the character selection screen, but are intentionally distances from the figures they would implicitly later become in legend....

However, as it did with its remasters of original FPS classics Doom and Doom 2, developer Id Software also included the ability to release further add-ons for Quake in the future. At launch, the only one available was Quake 64 – the highly-regarded Nintendo 64 version that had a unique soundtrack and colored lighting – but fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of new material, and are already enjoying Id Software’s first update patch....

According to a weekly sales chart put out in the UK, Horizon: Zero Dawn also represents the biggest launch of the year so far and captures the new IP record previously held by the divisive space exploration title No Man’s Sky. The accolades don’t stop there however as Horizon also represents the biggest PlayStation 4 launch the console has seen since Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End released last spring. The previous chart topper, For Honor, fell to number 5 for the week....

As seen below in the tweet from Guerrilla Games, the studio intends on releasing a day one patch for Horizon: Zero Dawn that weighs in at a rather light 250MB. The developer did not go on to explicate exactly what the update will contain, but considering its small size, fans shouldn’t expect to encounter any drastic alterations being made to the game after downloading and applying it on their respective consoles, whether it be a standard PlayStation 4, PS4 Slim, or PS4 Pro....

Horizon Forbidden West is not the end of the series, and gamers likely want to see more tribes in upcoming games. While this is not an inherently bad thing, introducing too many tribes could make it difficult to explore any of them in adequate depth. Furthermore, Aloy would be better off spending her time rallying together tribes she is already familiar with against Nemesis, who will likely be the biggest threat she has ever faced....

Guerrilla has shown off some of these beasts already in past Horizon Forbidden West gameplay trailers such as the “fast and agile Clawstrider and the deadly mammoth-like Tremortusk.” This Tremortusk has a body completely covered in guns that also uses different elemental attacks as well as its armored tusks. It is an unstoppable force and was Guerrilla’s answer to war elephants that were used to topple fortresses in medievel times....

God of War: Ragnarok was supposed to have a 2021 release, but so far, all gamers have seen is a frosty logo announcing the game’s existence. If the game is still coming this year, a trailer or at least a statement by Santa Monica would be nice. On a similar note, Elden Ring hasn’t had any real announcements since its cinematic trailer from June of 2019. For both of these games, a 2021 release seems highly unlikely....

In Horizon Zero Dawn, there were only a couple of big settlements: Mother’s Heart, Meridian, and Sunfall. All three are visually stunning and conveyed a unique environment, with each belonging to a different tribe. However, they weren’t as interactive and alive as they could have been. When Aloy becomes a seeker after the Proving, the Nora settlements aren’t essential anymore, and while Meridian was active, it didn’t seem populated enough to be the central hub of the game....

In addition to Guerrilla Games’ recently unveiled ‘GAIA Podcast’, which has so far explored topics like the Horizon universe’s world and rich lore, the studio has also peeled back the curtain on the game via several blog and social media posts. Fans have subsequently had a glut of content to pour over in recent weeks, with details regarding Horizon Forbidden West’s expanded skill and cosmetic systems perhaps being one of the most tantalizing topics of focus....

Whether their medium be pencil, watercolor, or 3D modeling, artists have showcased their talents on sites like DeviantArt, ArtStation, and more. Though the internet is full of these beautiful works of art, here are ten pieces that really capture what makes Horizon: Zero Dawn so special....

As a part of Project Zero Dawn, a large bunker was constructed. This bunker, known as Elysium, would serve as a living space for all the people Sobeck called on to help. Even though it isn’t an explorable area in Horizon Zero Dawn, there’s already plenty of intrigue surrounding it. RELATED: Horizon Zero Dawn: What is the Lightkeeper Protocol? A Safe Haven After Project Zero Dawn The large, sealed bunker of Elysium was built to house all the people who worked on Project Zero Dawn, along with their immediate family or two people of their choosing....

This is not good news for the Hornets, who have been forced to deal with injuries all season. The Hornets just got point guard Kemba Walker back in the lineup after he missed over five weeks with a knee injury and still have starting forward Cody Zeller on the shelf with a shoulder injury.

A 44-year-old man named Maksym Kryvosh allegedly took control of a bus in Lutsk, Ukraine on Tuesday, holding thirteen people hostage. Armed with guns and at least one grenade, Kryvosh maintained a standoff with police for more than twelve hours. Among his demands was the bizarre request that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky publicly express support for the 2005 documentary Earthlings, about “humankind’s total dependence on animals for economic purposes.”...

The person in question is Charles Monet, a Frenchman living in Kenya who spent New Year’s Day 1980 poking around Kitum Cave, a spooky cavern so vast that whole elephant herds roam around inside. Only a few days later, Monet was dead, his body having been literally dissolved by a Level 4 virus he caught somehow around Kitum Cave. The disease was Marburg, a highly infectious, extremely lethal rain-forest virus....

The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would require that a health care professional who is present for a failed abortion perform life-saving “professional skill, care, and diligence,” including by making sure the baby winds up at a hospital. This seems like a common-sense legal requirement to fulfill the Hippocratic Oath: “First do no harm.” It likely won’t go anywhere in the Senate, but Republicans’ support for it relays a strong message about life; Democrats’ response does the opposite....

“That’s a big concern of mine,” Moore said in an interview with Kitco News. “I’m really nervous about the housing market. We’ve had a red-hot housing market now for five or six years.” Moore, who served as Donald Trump’s senior economic advisor during his presidency, said he “prays” the U.S. is not facing a housing bubble, “because remember when that bubble burst [in 2008], the whole economy collapsed.” “Mortgage rates were 3 percent a year and a half ago, now they’re creeping up to about 6 percent....

Game 4 of the best-of-7 series will be Friday night in Washington at 8 p.m. ET, when the Astros look to even the series. Game 5 will be Sunday at the same time in Washington. If there is no series winner after five games, the World Series would shift back to Houston for Game 6 on Tuesday. The Astros’ bats came alive early Friday to get baserunners and ultimately stretch the Nationals’ pitching staff....

Benefits The TENS unit is lightweight, making it easy to carry and use on the move. It can often be carried in your pocket or clipped to your belt. TENS is thought to disrupt the pain cycle by delivering a non-painful sensation to the nerves around the targeted site, reducing the pain signals going to the brain. The electrical impulses may also trigger the body to release endorphins, which act as natural painkillers....
