While the vanilla version of the game does offer a white haired, red-jacketed version of Dante that is only while the character’s ‘Devil Trigger’ is active. At the time it appeared to be the best compromise developer Ninja Theory was willing to offer disgruntled fans, however this new DLC option delivers a classic Dante look throughout the entire single player campaign. Unfortunately, as has been a common move for Capcom, it’s trapped behind a pay wall, in this case a $4....

Olson eventually left in 1998–and was replaced with an analyst who soon upgraded Enron’s rating. But it was not until four years after he left Merrill, when a Senate committee began questioning the nation’s largest brokerage firm a few weeks ago about its dealings with the failed energy giant, that Olson learned just how much his Enron research had riled executives within his firm as well. The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released an April 1998 memo from two Merrill bankers to then-company president Herb Allison saying Enron executives had a “visceral” dislike of Olson, and that his negative comments had affected the bankers’ dealings with Enron....

Arsenal suffered a 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday and the Gunners have lost three of their last five games in all competitions, including a 3-1 reverse against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Speculation over Wenger’s future at Arsenal has mounted in the wake of his side’s poor form, but Conte gave the 67-year-old – whose side trail Premier League leaders Chelsea by 10 points - his backing....

The movie tells the story of low-level astronomer and professor Dr. Randall Mindy (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) and Ph.D. student Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) who discover a huge comet is heading directly to Earth, threatening to destroy the entire planet. With the help of scientist Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), the trio attempt to make the world aware of its impending doom, but largely go unheard, before it’s too late....

The updated version of Doom 3 makes use of graphical advancements achieved in the past several years, including a complete HD overhaul and 3D and virtual headset support....

Introduced first as a mini-boss, each Marauder is a former member of the Night Sentinels, who guarded the realm of Argent D’Nur alongside the Doom Slayer. Long ago the Night Sentinels allied themselves with the angelic Maykr, but fell into civil war when it was discovered that the Maykr were, all along, allies of Hell. Those Night Sentinels who continued in the service of the Khan Maykr were resurrected after falling in battle, transformed by the Maykr’s demonically powered Divinity Machine into knights in Hell’s army and relentless hunters of the Doom Slayer....

While expansion content may be available to purchase prior to that time, servers will remain offline for maintenance until the release time.

While we may never know why exactly the Destiny story feels so hollow and disjointed, fans have begun coming up with their own theories. Some have been stronger than others, but one has stood out among the pack. This theory, proposed by several Destiny fans prior to launch, claims that The Darkness in the game is actually a byproduct of The Traveler, the giant white orb that floats above Earth....

Did Brent Musburger have a few dollars on Oklahoma last night? His partner, Fran Fraschilla, made a thinly-veiled reference to such a possibility in the closing minute of Iowa State’s eventual win — and cover — during ESPN’s broadcast of the game. Musburger, who is known for dropping references to the point spread and total while he’s calling games, didn’t exactly deny it. With 31 seconds left in the game and Oklahoma trailing 74-68, an out-of-bounds play was initially ruled in the Sooners’ favor....

Last year, when I was covering hockey for Sporting News, I watched as Brodeur, who celebrated his 40th birthday during the playoffs, helped lead the New Jersey Devils to the Stanley Cup Final. I had grown up a Rangers fan, despising Brodeur, but during that playoff run, my first time extensively covering him, he became something different to me —a player with worlds of experience, a great sense of humor, and a captivating interview subject....

The pay-per-view ended with the returning Goldberg defeating Lesnar in an 86-second match. Although Goldberg was known earlier in his career for defeating opponents in quick fashion, the manner of his victory over the dominant Lesnar was unexpected. Speaking to Boston Wrestling MWF’s Dan Mirade, John Cena’s father praised Lesnar for going ahead with the “disgusting” match against Goldberg. Lesnar went on to defeat Goldberg in a rematch at WrestleMania 33 to win the Universal Championship....

These days if a new IP hasn’t been planned as a franchise, very few publishers will even express interest in the concept. However, the pedigree of Dishonored’s Co-Creators Harvey Smith (Deus Ex) and Raphael Colantonio (BioShock 2) certainly helped convince publisher Bethesda that this was a worthwhile property. As far as sequel talk is concerned Smith tells Kotaku that he does have a few ideas for a sequel, but is equally interested in seeing the “vault door” closed on this world....

[Update: Find out the new gameplay and construction features for Disney Infinity 2.0 here!] It’s been no surprise that the hybrid toy/video game franchise Disney Infinity had big plans for the Marvel universe since news started to leak a few weeks back, but today comic and gaming fans finally got the official news. When the Disney Infinity press conference kicked off with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson in character) introducing Agent Coulson, it was a pretty good sign that things were official....

Aside from that, though, Disney Infinity is very similar to Skylanders: the base game comes with a USB-powered portal, three starter figurines, and a Play Set cube. By placing the cube on the portal, the player unlocks a “Play Set”: a level tailored to a specific Disney franchise. In order to explore those Play Sets, however, players must also place a figurine associated with that franchise on the portal. So, for example, if they want to play in the Pirates of the Caribbean Play Set, they will need to put Captain Jack (or one of the other Pirates figurines) on the portal....

WEYMOUTH: What do you think of the concern that Israel could destroy the coalition [against bin Laden and the Taliban] by taking aggressive action against the Palestinians? PERES: Israel is not being asked [by Washington] to make concessions but to change the atmosphere. On so many occasions the United States has answered Israel’s requests; so if there is an American request, I see no reason not to answer it....

In March, several media outlets, including the Washington Post, reported that counties that hosted a 2016 Trump campaign rally saw a 226 percent rise in hate crimes compared to counties that did not. The outlets cited a paper written by three academics, Ayal Feinberg from Texas A&M University-Commerce, Regina Branton from the University of North Texas and Valerie Martinez-Ebers from the University of North Texas. During a segment on Fox News’ The Five, host Greg Gutfeld said Reason magazine independently “analysed the effects of Hillary Clinton’s rallies using the framework” and found that “her rallies led to an even greater increase in hate crimes than Trump rallies....

Andy Slavitt, the White House’s senior adviser on COVID-19, urged skeptical Americans to “do yourself a favor” and talk to a doctor or pharmacist about any concerns they may have about the shot. “Find whatever reason you want to get vaccinated. For those not sure yet, do your homework, talk to your doctor or your pharmacist. All concerns are reasonable, but do yourself a favor: Don’t let some guy on Facebook answer your question when good answers are available,” Slavitt said during a White House press briefing....

Though the film’s focus is on the plight of three scientists, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, and Rob Morgan, attempting to warn the public of the risk of global annihilation as a result of an approaching giant comet, it serves as a strong allegory for climate change. The three characters are met with scorn and ridicule by the public, disregarded by science-denying politicians, and by a media unable to take the threat seriously....

The digital billboard campaign encourages people who are opposed to the controversial law to “come to the city where you can say whatever you want.” According to the mayor’s office, it will be promoted in five Florida markets. The bill was nicknamed after a section that says it prohibits “classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in certain grade levels or in a specified manner.” The bill, which Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law last week, has sparked anger from many LGBTQ activists, celebrities and companies such as Disney....
