Deathloop’s ‘Ode to Somewhere’ is a Triumph The song in question is titled “Ode to Somewhere,” a ballad that feels as though it was yanked right out of the 1950s or 60s. With a beautiful arrangement written by Erich Talaba and a lovely vocal performance from Jeff Cummings, it is hard to miss the track while travelling across Fristad Rock in Deathloop, and it brings to mind images of greased back hair and leather jackets....
NEWSWEEK: What led you to write this book? Deborah Norville: I noticed that when I focused on what was going well in my life—as opposed to fixating on the problems that crept up—I was happier and things worked out better for me. And I began to think maybe I was just playing a mind game with myself, like when my kid wears his lucky jersey on game day because he thinks it will help him win....
We should always have been suspicious. After all, computers have spread quickly, precisely because they’ve become cheaper to buy and easier to use. Falling prices and skill requirements suggest that the digital divide would spontaneously shrink–and so it has. The Census Bureau’s latest survey of computer use reports narrowing gaps among different income and ethnic groups. In 1997 only 37 percent of people in families with incomes from $15,000 to $24,999 used computers at home or at work....
Australian golfer Lyle died aged 36 on Wednesday after battling acute myeloid leukemia for a third time. The much-loved Aussie made the decision last week to begin end-of-life care, sparking a flood of sport for him and his family. First, it was in the form yellow ribbons pinned on the hats of golfers and caddies at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Then, Justin Thomas – who won the 2018 Invitational in Ohio – asked fellow golfers to donate to a GoFundMe page that would support Lyle’s daughters....

So for Barack jocks, what’s not to like? The answer lies in the weird Expectations Game (EG) that dominates the early caucus and primary states, especially Iowa and New Hampshire. It would have been better for Obama to stay neck-and-neck or even a little behind Hillary Clinton until Jan. 3, when Iowa caucus-goers venture into the cold for their strange democratic ritual. A surprise victory in the caucuses would have dealt a serious, even crippling, blow to Clinton’s campaign....
The International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Thursday it would take a decision in June on appointing Pakistan’s Najam Sethi as its president to fill the vacancy caused by Mustafa Kamal’s resignation. “The board accepted the resignation of former President Mustafa Kamal, effective from April 2 and confirmed that no replacement would be appointed for the remaining weeks of Kamal’s term. “The full council of the ICC will consider the appointment of Najam Sethi as ICC president when it meets in Barbados at the end of June,” the international governing body of cricket said in a statement....

Developed by Danish studio Ghost Ship Games and published by Coffee Stain, Deep Rock Galactic is something of a mix between co-operative first-person shooters like Left 4 Dead with the mining and explorative aspects of Minecraft. Players take on the mantle of a dwarf working for the sci-fi space mining company Deep Rock Galactic and have to complete various missions by diving deep into the mineral-rich planet Hoxxes 4. As dangerous as the planet’s hostile alien insects can be, navigating the procedurally generated caves with a dwarf’s capabilities may have been just as difficult if not for Ghost Ship’s well-implemented Terrain Scanner tool....
The move, intended to show that the defense sympathized with the victims, was emblematic of Jones’s tactics to date - shocking, dramatic and questionable in its effectiveness. Jones’s biggest test will come as he starts presenting his client’s side . The government plans to rest by midweek, which means a case everyone thought would wind up in August could be over by the end of June. Jones has been as shocked as anyone at the speed with which the prosecution laid out its damning evidence against McV eigh....
A day after hurting his wrist in a crash in the fourth stage, Froome fell again at around the halfway mark of the 152.5-kilometer (94.5-mile) route from the Belgian town of Ypres to Arenberg-Porte du Hainaut in France. The Team Sky rider then climbed into a team car and left the race. The withdrawal of the main pre-race favorite leaves the three-week cycling showcase wide open. Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali is wearing the leader’s yellow jersey, but two-time champion Alberto Contador is only two seconds behind and could become the man to beat....
A final draft of the NDAA revealed on Thursday does not include a repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, a law that allows tech companies to engage in good-faith moderation of third party content online while shielding them from legal liabilities related to the content. Prior to Trump threatening to veto the defense bill if his demand for a repeal of the unrelated provision is not met, the president and his allies had repeatedly called for Section 230 to be repealed, alleging that it allows social media platforms to discriminate against conservatives....
Defoe’s goalscoring exploits for former club Sunderland last campaign earned him a recall to Gareth Southgate’s team in March and the veteran is hopeful that a repeat performance at Bournemouth this year can propel him to his second World Cup finals. “In a World Cup year, you always want to do well for your club because it is based on merit… As a forward, you have got to be scoring goals to get into the squad,” Defoe, 35, told Sky Sports....
After Krakauer read Albanov’s slim book at one sitting, he couldn’t sleep, and he wound up e-mailing his publishers at 3 a.m., urging them to publish it. The result, in stores and in English at last, is a hardcover Modern Library edition of “In the Land of White Death” with a 70,000-copy first printing, a preface by Krakauer and an introduction by Roberts. And yes, it is one helluva read....

Here, getting the true ending means traversing across an entirely new alternate version of the map, and completing brand-new objectives....
According to an interview with Japanese site j-wave, Kojima stated that Death Stranding is “slightly” behind schedule but “it is assembled.” Kojima most likely expected people to get worried about the delay so he has reassured fans that the game’s release date “has been slightly out of the initial plan, but not much delayed.” The release date has been the subject of rumors for years now, with the most recent one claiming that it would come out this year, which is now looking extremely unlikely....

No item is perfect, and often these tend to be narrow in scope or lack some critical feature but hold promise for future revisions or innovation. Beyond the things that have been written about so far, this is a good place to let you know what products we’re looking at, starting to test or have recently been announced....
Many current players would know that Stardust in Pokemon GO is one of the video game’s major elements. Pokemon GO players can earn Stardust by completing simple, daily tasks. However, sometimes, the development team implements special events and tasks that boost how much Stardust the game’s community members can collect. Even though a player dedicates a lot of time, and participates daily in Pokemon GO’s activities, being able to reach the maximum amount of Stardust that can be collected in the mobile title can still be impressive....
