It’s due to this emergent open world gameplay that Bethesda has found its own success, and also that it’s remained successful in the modern landscape of diverse open worlds. Howard attributes this to Bethesda’s goal of saying “yes” to the player more, but Howard is more than willing to acknowledge other studios’ successes: Howard does note that this type of emergent gameplay can create a level of chaos that doesn’t work and may need a fix, but mostly players love it....

Starfield’s silent protagonist allows for more immersion as the player has to read blocks of text with their own voice. It makes them feel like they are the main character, and they can become more connected to the person they created, which is a must for RPGs. However, it could also be very alienating and unapproachable compared to games with a voiced protagonist. Some players just want to enjoy the ride without the need to control every little aspect of their character, including the voice....

Unfortunately, since the release of the Obsidian Entertainment-developed Fallout: New Vegas in 2010, news surrounding the series has dried up. That’s not to say that fans have stopped speculating on the prospect of Fallout 4, however, and the title has been host to a number of rumors and hoaxes over the past two years. A leaked script suggested that Fallout 4 would be set in Boston, whilst the filing of three Nuka Cola trademarks suggested Bethesda was working on something behind the scenes....

While Gould assured the public that Sony TV was doing “everything humanly possible” to begin filming, but that unfortunately there were still going to be some delays. Though the delays are obviously important for the health and safety of the team, it is a frustrating wait for the final, and likely most dramatic season of the show, with viewers waiting for the final reveal of how the prequel series will tie into the timeline of Breaking Bad....

By the age of 1, the average child has been exposed to more risk of cancer from pesticides than the Environmental Protection Agency says she should get over her entire life, calculates Richard Wiles of the nonprofit Environmental Working Group in a study released last week. Legal residues-amounts of pesticides allowed to remain in food-are calculated with adults in mind. If a child consumed as much pesticides as the EPA permits, the risk of cancer could be hundreds of times what EPA deems acceptable....

Redditor RPBN shared an image of presumably their cat, Betty, on January 4. The cat has an irritated and mad look on its face as it lounges sitting down. The cat’s distinct facial expression is hard to miss and quite unique for a cat. “This is Betty, and she hates every single one of you,” the post is captioned. The Redditor has also shared other images of their cat on Reddit with the same iconic face viewers have come to know....

He was right. After discovering those papers back in 1984, Huber took his family’s vineyards out of the cooperative and set about overhauling their product. Now, 18 years later–and for the first time in generations–Malterdingen wine is again winning plaudits. At professional wine tastings in Paris, London and Copenhagen, Huber’s Sptburgunder–a silky, luxurious red made from the pinot noir grape–has consistently scored top notches, beating much more famous (and pricier) French and Californian wines....

Fans of the iconic “Crazy in Love” singer are speculating that she is about to make some sort of announcement after she deleted her profile images across all her social media platforms this week. The 40-year-old’s YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and TikTok profile images have all been deleted and left blank, prompting theories from her dedicated fan base about what this could possibly mean. One viral tweet reads: “Sometimes I think Beyonce does s*** to just shake up the world....

Ubisoft’s highly anticipated Beyond Good and Evil 2 is definitely one such title, which has seemingly been in the works for more than a decade now. While the infamously silent and long mysterious Elden Ring has now broken silence, Beyond Good and Evil 2 looks to be on the way for taking that throne.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported today that WWE’s original plan was also to protect the return of Alexa Bliss during the contest. Two of WWE’s biggest stars will collide at WrestleMania.

The Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) policy, otherwise known as “Remain in Mexico,” will take effect next week after being suspended by President Joe Biden on his first day in office. Around 70,000 asylum seekers coming from Mexico have been subjected to the policy, which was introduced in 2019. Biden’s reversal on the policy’s suspension comes after a lawsuit was filed by Texas and Missouri urging him to reinstate it. A court order to implement it was subsequently filed....

As this dramatic change of power unfolds in Washington, Yemen’s internationally recognized government is hoping that two potentially impactful signs of a change of course by the Biden administration were premature. Prominent among concerns expressed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his premier press conference on Wednesday was the designation of rebel movement Ansar Allah, or the Houthis, as a foreign terrorist organization by his predecessor, Mike Pompeo....

It cited concerns that the policies could amount to discrimination against students with disabilities or health conditions. “It’s simply unacceptable that state leaders are putting politics over the health and education of the students they took an oath to serve,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement. “The department will fight to protect every student’s right to access in-person learning safely.” For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below....

Joined by Vice President Kamala Harris, Biden pressed for the need to change the filibuster rules in order to make it easier to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act, but not all members of his party support such a move. Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin have both publicly stated they are opposed to changing the Senate’s current 60-vote threshold. In order to alter filibuster rules, Democrats would need not only Sinema and Manchin to be on board, but also the vote of every Democratic party member in the Senate, which is split evenly 50–50 between Democrats and Republicans....

Progressive Democratic lawmakers—such as Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ihan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan—initially endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont over Biden in the Democratic primaries. However, after Biden won the nomination, they rallied behind him and urged their supporters to back his campaign. But as Biden inched toward victory in the Electoral College last week, some moderates and Republican supporters of Biden urged the president-elect to govern from the center....
