Summer Game Fest host Geoff Keighley recently conducted an interview with Death Stranding game director Hideo Kojima as well as Yoji Shinkawa. The interview touched on Death Stranding’s sales, as well as revealed the game’s PC launch trailer. Of course, the most exciting information from the interview revolved around the new features that fans can expect from the Death Stranding PC port.

As Arkane Studios continues to develop Deathloop, players might be getting an early look at what the developer has in store from making the jump from current gen gaming to next-gen with the previous series. It hasn’t been made clear yet if Dishonored will share the same world with the upcoming title, even if the similar mechanics and art styles seem to suggest that an Arkane Connected Universe is on its way....

The Zero Trust approach is centered around the belief that no user or application should be inherently trusted, even those already inside the network perimeter. This idea is already being embraced by large companies and organizations like Google, Coca-Cola, and the NSA to combat the growing threat of cyberattacks. However, there are still roadblocks impeding its mainstream adoption. Myths About Zero Trust Security As organizations’ interest in the Zero-Trust model approach increase, some misconceptions about the basic principles of the framework have got in the way of adoption....

Perhaps, the only topics that remain up for discussion are that a lot of his hundreds came in losing causes and that he did not play when it mattered. Strange to say that he did not play when it mattered when stats say that he is literally the best. But more on that later. Let us have a look at these points in two aspects: statistical and analytical. An analytical explanation is provided at first....

Ashton Eaton set a world record in the decathlon at the US Olympic Track and Field Trials on a wild day that also featured a dead heat for a London Olympic berth in the women’s 100 meters. Eaton scored 9,039 points in the 10-event competition on Saturday, breaking the old world mark of 9,026 points set by Roman Sebrle of the Czech Republic in 2001 and shattering Dan O’Brien’s former American record of 8,891 from 1992....

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday he will make a decision by Christmas on whether the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square will proceed as planned or be canceled. Previously, de Blasio said he wanted the celebration to be at “full strength” this year after last year’s smaller event. However, with an increase in COVID-19 infections, it’s not certain what the event will look like or if it’s happening at all....

FromSoftware’s track record with DLC has been rather consistent across every major game the studio has released within the last decade. With the exception of Demon’s Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, each of FromSoftware’s titles has received paid DLC in some capacity. Obviously, this has led many fans to believe that Elden Ring will inevitably get the same treatment, to the point where one devoted fan has decided to do something rather crazy in an effort to draw attention to Elden Ring DLC....

trade routes considered vital to all Asian countries. Since World War II, the U.S. Navy has policed these sea routes. Washington and its allies have provided the security that has underwritten Asia’s remarkable growth in trade and prosperity. By building a Navy capable of taking on U.S. forces, however, it seems Beijing is now seeking to contest that U.S. maritime dominance—a move that could seriously undermine peace and prosperity throughout Asia....

The Denver Broncos followed the Detroit Lions by drafting a cornerback with their top ten pick in the 2021 NFL draft. Surtain is currently the favorite to win the defensive rookie of the year award. However, he’ll face tough competition from these three defensive rookies. Contenders for defensive rookie of the year #1 - Micah Parsons, LB, Dallas Cowboys Micah Parsons may be the most exciting defensive rookie of 2021....

Even some editors less zealous than Shine agree that newspapers, in these murderous times, must take extraordinary steps. Washington Post ombudsman Joann Byrd recently called for the Post to wage a crusade. Readers would get front-page summaries of homicide statistics and reporters would pester “all people in sight” for good ideas. “Don’t the stakes require everybody to try everything?” asked Byrd. The Chicago Tribune, in effect, anticipated Byrd’s idea and pledged last January to “not let the murder of a single child in our metropolitan area go unnoticed” during 1993....

Police officials insisted that the rubber gun was realistic enough to justify Hopper’s split-second decision. A district attorney’s investigation, now underway, may concur. But the shooting only reinforces the impression that L.A. cops are out of control–and in the midst of a scandal over alleged cowboy tactics in its Rampart division, this was a controversy LAPD didn’t need.

New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers were dispatched to the Brooklyn home of Shabazz, 56, after her daughter found her unresponsive about 4:40 p.m., an NYPD official told Newsweek. The city’s medical examiner responded to the scene and did not believe that the death was suspicious, while police also found no reason to suspect foul play. The cause of Shabazz’s death remained unclear at the time of publication. Her death came only days after two men were exonerated in the assassination of Malcolm X, Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam....

Last week police dragged Garrett’s body from the cold waters beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, from which, at the age of 48, he had jumped. On one level, his was just another story of a local hero’s shocking suicide. Garrett had become a popular radio talk-show host. He had a college-sweet-heart wife of 25 years, two daughters and a cavernous, art-filled home in posh Marin. Yet after his death, the newspapers found that his main business venture, a sports-memorabilia auction house, had acquired a reputation for selling fake items, and may have sunk into a financial morass that Garrett could no longer hide and didn’t dare reveal....

While it sounds odd on paper, the Death Stranding gameplay mixes extremely well with sound effects and music ripped from Super Mario 64. As Norman Reedus’s character, Sam Bridges, opens the gameplay napping, the idle sounds from Mario are dubbed over with the castle music slowly getting louder. Other subtle Mario sound effects are used to great effect, including Mario straining when Sam gets up, the pause sound effect when the player goes into the Death Stranding menu system, and the camera sound effect whenever the view adjusts or shifts....

The boxer describes in an affidavit a dangerous odyssey of shady characters, unpaid smuggling debts and threats of violence that have followed Puig since he left Cuba in June 2012. Boxer Yunior Despaigne says the smugglers claim Puig owes them money. Puig's smuggling venture was first reported by Los Angeles Magazine. Despaigne says Puig promised 20 percent of his contract to Miami men who set up the smuggling venture. Puig signed a $42 million, seven-year contract with the Dodgers in June 2012....

The trailer crashed into a steel pedestrian bridge and tipped over on Friday, crushing the migrants onboard. It is considered one of the deadliest migrant events in Mexico’s history. Although floods of walking migrants have been apprehended by Mexican authorities, the crash demonstrates how they have not been able to apprehend smugglers who charge migrants thousands of dollars in exchange for potential freedom. “We have been insisting that the causes that originate these unfortunate events must be addressed,” Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said at a news conference....

RELATED: Deathloop: Where To Find The Cat Fall Trinket (& What It Does) One good example is the Super Shifty puzzle, which happens during the Evening, in Karl’s Bay. Part of a larger puzzle that rewards players with a powerful weapon, the Super Shifty puzzle is a race against the clock to reach a wrapped present, before the room it’s located in is blown to bits. The first time players come across this room will likely be a total accident and it can be downright difficult to solve the puzzle involved when they have no idea what to do, especially with a timer ticking down....

How To Play Wordle Wordle is a simple word game with simple rules. The ease of play, ease of sharing, and quick puzzles made it go viral in early 2022. Not everyone has had a chance to play this little game though, so here is a breakdown of all the rules and a little bit of a strategy.

How To Play Wordle As a quick note: since Wordle was so popular in the early part of this year, there are many clones out there. However, there is only one original, and this is the New York Times Game version. The newspaper giant purchased the game at the height of its popularity, but not before the internet was flooded with copycats. The NYT version is the subject of this article, and other versions will have different answers....

Why has Moqtada al-Sadr cancelled his planned “Million Person” march against the U.S. presence in Iraq? Anyone who sees it as a sign of declining tensions between the radical Shiite leader’s Mahdi army and the American and U.S. forces would be wrong. Nor has al-Sadr’s decision to call off the April 9 protest done much to ease fears in a capital city that is still on the edge. The Iraqi government has ordered a curfew throughout Baghdad for Wednesday....
