Just today, however, Bungie has further detailed two more of their upcoming September and October events, which are sure to offer players more incentives to jump back into Destiny. And more importantly, one of the forthcoming events promises some rare and legendary gear, which is all higher-level Destiny players can think about at this point. First up is the Combined Arms Crucible Playlist, which is slated to run through the weekend (Sept....

When Destiny was announced two years ago, all the way back in February 2013, plenty of people got excited. The game would be a persistently online MMO-lite where players could team up and take down enemies that look straight out of sci-fi movies in lands decorated with lore. It may be up for debate, but plenty would agree that Destiny is a success, with 16 million players in the game....

It’s a well-established law of video game culture: when a game reaches a certain level of popularity or influence in the industry’s conversation, it begins to take on a life of its own. And while Destiny - Bungie’s MMO/shooter/successor to Halo - may not have gained the same foothold in popular culture (yet), the parodies and tongue-in-cheek shots at its shortcomings have been coming since launch day. But not every parody has to be mean-spirited....

It is very important to know that if you’d like to approach Deus Ex: Human Revolution with a fresh and untainted perspective, it’s best to avoid reading this post, because the ESRB has let more than a few details regarding the content of some portions of the game out of the bag. If spoilers don’t bother you and only serve to motivate your desire to play the game, then read away....

[HTML1] Despite there being less than one day remaining until the long-awaited release of Diablo III, plenty of noteworthy news is still finding its way to the internet from all over the globe: things look grim for fans who pre-ordered the game in Australia, Diablo III’s systems and balance are addressed by Blizzard, and details on the game’s Starter Edition have come to light. Plus, for a bit of backstory on the battle between Heaven and Hell, be sure to check out Peter Chung’s short film, Wrath, at the top of the page....

Simeone, aged 44, had twice raided the pitch during extra time period, once after the fourth goal by Cristiano Ronaldo when he confronted Real Madrid’s young centre back Raphael Varane, confirmed Sky Sports. On the other hand, Alonso, who had to sit out of the match due to suspension after he had spritined down the touchline after the final whistle. Xabi Alonso’s celebratory run: UEFA have confirmed on their website that both of the cases will be heard at a disciplinary hearings on July 17....

The man was caught by nearby security cameras which showed him unwrap an object in his hands and spray an unknown substance into the dog bowl set up outside of a local store. The man was wearing a black and white hooded coat and carrying large neon green bags on his back. “To want to harm dogs, in particular, to me is quite concerning and disturbing,” Michael Catafalmo, the manager of a local store told CTV....

Times have changed and with four DmC iterations under Dante’s belt (not to mention a few rounds in the fighting ring), Capcom has given the franchise a chance to reboot, as on display during E3 this year. Now, Capcom has released the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming remake - and it looks… different. Developed by Ninja Theory, the new gameplay trailer shows off what the team has been up in the few months since E3, displaying the new Dante’s combat mechanics and stylized combos, not just a new look....

The pair have maintained an uneasy relationship since Conte arrived in the Premier League, and tempers flared last season when the Italian was accused of over-celebrating his team’s goals during a 4-0 thrashing of the Red Devils. On Sunday, too, Mourinho was bypassed by Conte at the final whistle as the Chelsea boss went straight onto the pitch to greet his players, leaving the ‘Special One’ with members of his backroom staff....

McConnell, a Kentucky Republican who voted for the bill and drew Trump’s ire, trumpeted the sweeping plan as “good for the country” and even attempted to give the Senate credit for its passage. “It’s not infrastructure and we had 19 Republicans voting for it. What a shame. But Mitch McConnell gave this. That guy should resign as the leader,” Trump said in a Black Friday interview on Fox Business....

A mega-successful producer/director/writer, Apatow took to Twitter, where he offered some advice for the town hall moderator Savannah Guthrie. Addressing the Today show co-anchor directly, Apatow suggested: “Maybe confront him about lies and corruption and racism. Bring the receipts. Ask follow up questions then more follow up questions. Our democracy is at stake. Don’t be soft. Don’t make this an entertainment program. Make it better than a debate.” Apatow carries a substantial amount of clout in the entertainment industry, as he’s been behind some of the biggest comedies of the past twenty years....

But one thing that wasn’t included in the documentary series is the role of the Canadian shock website BestGore.com in the story, and the consequences that befell its owner, Mark Marek. Magnotta wasn’t the only one who faced criminal charges over Lin’s murder: Marek was charged with corrupting public morals under Canada’s obscenity laws for posting Magnotta’s murder—or “snuff”—video. What happened to Mark Marek? In May 2012, BestGore.com, which shares shocking content including graphic, violent photos and videos, posted Magnotta’s video, 1 Lunatic 1 Icepick....

The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation slammed a social media user on Tuesday with a barrage of photos from Don’t Worry Darling’s Venice Film Festival premiere. The department likes to have fun on Twitter, but not everyone appreciates the lighthearted approach. On Tuesday, its social media team posted a screenshot of a direct message from a disgruntled Twitter user. “I can’t believe my state taxes pay for u to be trashy on twitter,” the screengrab read....

But the 18-year-old could still stay at San Siro, with his agent apparently happy to give the club’s new owners time. “Gigio is the Maradona of goalkeepers,” Raiola said to Corriere dello Sport. “He can only grow and he has to be left alone to grow in peace. He is not a slave, nor a robot. “There are 11 top clubs which are interested in him. The concept is clear....

If there’s one game series that manages to generate a seemingly endless supply of nostalgia, it’s Mario Kart. Whether it’s at the hands of the series’ first iteration on the Super Nintendo or a later release like Double Dash, the tracks that populate these titles are both imaginative and instantly memorable. For this reason, it’s no surprise to learn that one of the series’ most bright and cheerful tracks will be making its return in the first batch of DLC for Mario Kart 8....

However, outside of a few calendar events and the names of two DLC expansions, we don’t know much about Destiny’s future. What Bungie has planned for gamers beyond the week 1 content has been mostly a mystery…until now. Thanks to a curious glitch one Destiny player has inadvertently uncovered a set of previously invisible gameplay events, a few of which seem to be attached to the game’s expansion content. In total, the player was able to see (and document) a handful of new Raids and Strike missions, varying in difficulty from level 12 all the way up to level 28....

In anticipation of such a significant addition to the game, Bungie has recently released a sizable update, which was initially delayed due to technical problems. Unfortunately for Bungie, when they did finally release the update, it caused a major bug, so it hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing on the path to House of Wolves. That being said, House of Wolves itself should be ready to go and release on time....

[HTML1] Less than a week after we revealed our choices for the best Destiny feats we have ever seen, one group of Guardians has made strong case for their own inclusion. Not because the feat itself shows us something new about Destiny, but because it must have been a total pain to pull off. As readers can see in the video above, Willis Gaming and his regular group of Destiny raiders decided to see if they could get a Sparrow all the way to Atheon in the Vault of Glass raid....

What’s the Empyrean Foundation? As outlined in a recent This Week at Bungie blog post, the Empyrean Foundation is a community-wide Destiny 2 event where all Guardians work together to farm large amounts of Polarized Fractaline to unlock cool rewards for everyone.
