Al Gore’s speech to the Commonwealth Club last week was intelligent, but ultimately about tactics, not strategy. Gore believes that Saddam Hussein is a growing threat to the United States and the world–and one that must be dealt with, using force if necessary. But he dislikes the manner and sequence in which the president is conducting policy. That makes for a column, not a campaign. Here is the speech that Al Gore should have given:...
During an interview with IGN published today, Redding says Gotham Knights was always planned to be “the start of something, not just the continuation or the prolonging of something” like Rocksteady’s popular titles. It will be a new franchise, set in motion by the decision to kill off Batman, but it will carry on some tenets of Arkham-style beat-em-ups with offensive and defensive choices, unique combos, and variations in attack types....
There are few legitimate comparisons that can be made between Gotham Knights and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, but it may be of note that Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ approach to antagonists has served it better than Gotham Knights. Looking back at Gotham Knights, it could have learned from how Marvel’s Midnight Suns approaches its villains. RELATED: Comparing the State of DC and Marvel Video Games Marvel’s Midnight Suns Chose Quality Over Quantity Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ villains include Lilith, the Mother of Demons, as well as the Fallen antagonists she has corrupted and Hydra enemies who are devoted to her....
While the Joker died at the end of Arkham City in Rocksteady’s universe, Gotham Knights is left with a Joker problem. Despite being Batman’s nemesis, two of the player characters’ origins were more defined by the Joker than Bruce’s. Not only that, but the unexplained absence of the Clown Prince of Crime could strike many fans – as well as characters – as a strange omission in Gotham Knights. Here are the main reasons Gotham Knights will need to deal with the Joker, and the reasons why that could be one of the game’s biggest challenges....
Soulslikes are defined by their unique level designs and approaches to combat; several mechanics are key in a Soulslike, such as having limited resources, an unmitigated sense of exploration in an unfamiliar environment, and a consequence for each death that impacts the experience. Of course, Gotham Knights is not a one-to-one Soulslike, and there are many parts of its gameplay design that harken back to traditional action-adventure titles instead. Gotham Knights does, however, open the door to what a Soulslike in the superhero genre could look like....
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s threats to prosecute pharmacists who dispense the abortion pill seems like showboating. It reminds me of Trumps wall to prevent illegal immigration, when most illegal immigration is caused by people flying in and overstaying their visas. The same thing is going to result here. The governor might very well ban pharmacies from distributing the abortion medications, but ultimately people will acquire it by using telehealth and having it mailed to them....
Much like the movie it borrows its name and style from, The Fantastic Mr. Star Fox is a quirky trailer from the minds at College Humor, taking an interesting look at the life of Fox McCloud as he comes to terms with his father’s death, and his career as an arwing pilot defending the Lylat system. The amazing tailer is created with the same stop-motion animation that made The Fantastic Mr....
The fully-animated battle features Zavala, the Titan Vanguard, rapping opposite the quirky Cayde-6 in a fun video that is equal parts a cipher and a rap battle. While Cayde-6 has been a fan favorite for years now, it isn’t often we get to see a lighter side of the usually stoic Zavala, and it’s a nice bit of fan-made content for a character who sometimes gets ignored in favor of Destiny 2’s larger personalities....
Well, whilst you could simply take yourself off to the Microsoft store to score your new version of the software, a much better idea is to swing by Keysbuff first and see how much you can save on Windows 10 or Microsoft Office. You’ll find what you need a lot cheaper here than you will anywhere else. Let’s see what deals Keysbuff has in store for us for the New Year....
ARK: Survival Evolved is a punishing survival game known for its difficulty and its dinosaurs.

There is a company in Grand Theft Auto 5 called Six Figure Temps. Six Figure Temps drug smuggling company sponsored by Adios Airlines, a Puerto Rican airline company mentioned in both Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5. Players can visit the Six Figure Temps in-game website where they can take a test that asks about South and Central America, and while none of this may seem relevant on the surface, it is if one has been keeping up with GTA 6 rumors....
At this point, close to nothing is known about the game, though that has not stopped Grand Theft Auto 6 rumors and speculation from flowing freely. Gamers have voiced their hopes for the upcoming game, including wishes for a female protagonist, a smarter police system, and the return of beloved characters such as Franklin. However, perhaps the best feature the game could add is the ability to genuinely climb up the ranks of the criminal underworld and become the top dog of the city....
When the update lands on October 20, the main feature will be its lowriders. Heading to the in-game website for Benny’s Original Motor Works (accessible via the player character’s mobile phone), GTA Online players can choose from six different lowriders. Then, for customization, players can drive their new whips to Benny’s shop in downtown Strawberry, where they’ll be able to change everything from the interior of the vehicle (choosing from velour, leather, or patterns), its steering wheel and even the stereo with new speakers and subwoofers....
In a recent update to Grand Theft Auto Online, some references to what could be the game’s next-gen upgrade were found. To be clear, the dataminers could be confused about the nature of this code or the code itself could be irrelevant. However, if the code is a meaningful leak, one reference named “CHasCharacterToTransferDecisionPage” could have some interesting ramifications. Or, at the very least, is evidence that not much will be changing going into the next generation....
According to a report from Cornwall Live, Sheila Martin, a grandmother of 15 and great-grandmother of three, was turned away from several charities in southwest England because her hair was reportedly not fit for wig creation. Martin gained attention on Facebook in April 2021, when she initially decided to donate her hair along with as much money as she could fundraise in honor of her late son Richard. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 57, he passed away three years ago after surgery revealed the cancer to be inoperable....
“She’s got a wedding on Friday. Unfortunately, I will miss her wedding. I’m sorry. She’s pretty happy for me but I’m going to have to get her a special gift I think," the right-handed batsman said after scoring an unbeaten 84 on Tuesday. The 36-year-old, who was a surprise inclusion in New Zealand’s World Cup squad, despite having not played a single ODI in 2014, smashed Dale Steyn for a six on the penultimate ball of the innings to take the Blackcaps to a historic win in front of a vociferous crowd at Eden Park in Auckland....
“Make no mistake: the Senate Majority is at risk,” the memo, obtained by The Guardian, said. “Beyond the four battleground states of Colorado, North Carolina, Arizona and Maine, Democrats are going on offense in historically red states like Montana, Iowa and Georgia.” The memo serves as the committee’s September update and has been passed along between political strategists as the November election inches closer, according to The Guardian. The Republicans currently hold a majority in the Senate with 53 seats, meaning the Democrats would need to flip four in order to ensure a majority regardless of the outcome of the presidential election....
Sanford, a former governor and congressional representative from South Carolina, made the comments after CNN anchor John Berman read a critical statement from the chairman of the South Carolina GOP during an interview on the network’s New Day program. Republican leaders in Sanford’s state, as well as in Kansas and Nevada, have voted to scrap their party’s primary entirely, meaning GOP voters won’t have the chance to choose between Trump and Republican challengers....
Perry was the first House lawmaker that the panel has reached out to in regards to their investigation. According to chairman Representative Bennie Thompson, the panel received evidence from a variety of close sources that the Republican lawmaker had “an important role” in installing Jeffrey Clark as the nation’s attorney general. However, Perry went to Twitter to reveal that he is refusing, citing other national crises in the process, according to CNN....
