[HTML1] Regular Game Rant readers and Screen Rant Underground listeners will know that us ranters are huge fans of dinosaurs. But not dinosaurs in the traditional sense: dinosaurs utilized in wholly anachronistic ways. Think Dino Riders. So, when word dropped that Battlefield 4, or even Battlefield 3, might have included dinosaurs in a future DLC pack we were appropriately excited. Unfortunately, that possibility never came to pass, and we were left disappointed....

As seen in the YouTuber GriffinMcScooby’s video below, the game’s fan is calling the crossover clip “Destiny Wars,” and makes sure to begin the mashup by parodying the introductory crawl seen at the beginning of every Star Wars movie that gives viewers a cursory rundown of the story’s plot. Cheekily enough, GriffinMcScooby uses the intro to make note of the state of the game, how its latest Crucible patch has negatively impacted some fans, and how much of the community is up in arms about the changes to come in Bungie’s proper sequel with Destiny 2....

Those were the days, and while we can’t return to the simplicity of yesteryear, we can certainly take a look at how Legos continue to be used to recreate the narratives of the current generation: with explosive effects, gore, and insane amounts of violence. YouTube user Keshen8, an avid Lego enthusiast, has recreated the Call of Duty: Black Ops environment within the Lego realm - and it’s pretty much exactly how you thought it would be - except probably even more violent....

Blog writer WheresBarry’s manual for Resident Evil 7 should look familiar to those that owned older Resident Evil games, as it mimics the style of classic Resident Evil paper manuals, and includes information on the characters, descriptions for the items players can collect, a map of the farmhouse, and more. The retro aesthetic is completed by WheresBarry’s choice to make the manual mostly black and white - another common trait for older video game manuals....

As seen below in the “What If?” styled video for World of Warcraft, the fan made NES rendition of the game starts out with a classic start up screen and allows would-be players to pick between the Alliance and the Horde, which then sends them to select what race they would like to represent, with the user choosing to be an orc. Following that, the character completely skips out on their first quest to instead join up with a group for a dungeon raid session even though they’re only at Level 1, which plays out exactly how one would expect it to, with the orc nabbing all of the loot it doesn’t deserve....

For all the leaks, speculation and rumors leading up to the NFL Draft every year, we’re reminded annually how inexact a science mock drafts are. Best guesses, best estimations, but still imperfect — very much so.

Shortly after the team gave Mark Ingram the ninth-largest running back contract in the NFL (just behind Jamaal Charles in total dollars and guarantees), its Jimmy Graham trade brought the 31st overall draft pick and Seahawks center Max Unger to New Orleans. If there’s a sign that New Orleans is shifting more toward a run-oriented attack to protect a defense that’s finished 31st or worse in two of the last three years, this is it....

Players won’t actually be able to wash their cars right away, but this shouldn’t be too much of an issue, as it usually takes quite a bit of driving before a car really needs cleaning....

In total, this will set people back around $4 million, as long as they opt for the cheap submarine....

While the mood of the Souls series helps make it a Souls game, that’s not the key to a Soulslike game. The general definition of ‘Soulslike’ that seems to be agreed upon by the majority of gamers online is that the game should hold extensive lore with bare minimum plot, allow players to explore the game the way they choose rather than be handheld by the game’s story, and feature punishing combat that encourages skillful execution....

Buck told a Michigan-based radio host this week that the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, which is currently in the FBI’s possession, could uncover “impeachable conduct.” The Colorado Republican penned a letter to Attorney General Bill Barr Monday urging the DOJ to appoint a special counsel similar to Robert Mueller’s probe of President Donald Trump to investigate Biden’s alleged business dealings in Ukraine. Buck said then-Vice President Biden’s consent or knowledge of his son’s alleged dealings with energy group Burisma is the allegation that requires a special counsel investigation....

An arrest warrant was issued for Rep. Will Dismukes on Thursday. Prosecutors allege that Dismukes stole over $2,500, a Class B Felony, from a flooring company he had worked for between 2016 and 2018. Dismukes was elected to Alabama’s state legislature in the 2018 election and took office the following year. “Our office received a complaint from a local business on May 20 of this year regarding an alleged theft of a large sum of money,” Montgomery County District Attorney Daryl Bailey said at a news conference....

Although Biden has secured at least 290 electoral votes—surpassing the 270 required to win in the Electoral College—Trump has refused to concede. The president and many of his GOP supporters have made unsubstantiated claims that Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris won the election through widespread voter fraud, without providing evidence. In a video of a Tuesday interaction, Johnson can be seen quickly walking past reporters as one asks: “Senator, have you congratulated Vice President Biden yet?...

One fun part about taking an early shot at a Week 2 line is trying to double up on a team. We may not be quite sure how a particular team will be, but we’ve got a pretty good idea they’re better than what its current rating shows. For instance, say the 49ers struggle at Dallas this week and the Bears shred the Bills. You could see half-point increase on the Bears’ rating and half-point decrease on the 49ers....

However, perhaps where Gotham Knights drops the ball the most is Harley Quinn. Because Gotham Knights is not directly tied to any other DC media like Rocksteady’s Arkhamverse, WB Games Montreal had some degree of freedom with its character depictions. Mr. Freeze and Clayface are underwhelming too, but more or less the characters fans know and love. Harley Quinn is not. RELATED: Gotham Knights: How to Unlock Heroic Travel for All Characters...

Handling Premeditated Crimes in Gotham Knights is an excellent way to advance and gather resources ahead of the more difficult missions in the game, and engaging with them is often necessary for Contact challenges. Detective Montoya needs players to deal with Premeditated Crimes as part of her contact challenges, and the first Knighthood challenge requires players to complete ten of them. Unlocking Premeditated Crimes Premeditated Crimes can be accessed as soon as players gain the ability to freely explore Gotham after the completion of the initial mission investigating Dr Langstrom....
