As a project helmed by the team behind Halo, their first game on PlayStation since that series’ inception, Destiny was always going to be a hot ticket title. From the moment it was announced, Destiny stirred up intrigue with its vague plot, and now that new footage of the game’s persistent online open world (made possible by a record breaking budget) has been released during E3 2014, prospective players can’t get their hands on it soon enough....

[HTML1] In the past, when it came to new Destiny content Bungie liked to play things close to the vest. Rather than give players a full look at what was in the pipeline, the developer preferred to slowly tease individual pieces of a larger picture, while still keeping some elements a mystery. The Crota’s End raid, for example, was widely speculated on, but only officially revealed once players actually jumped into the Hellmouth in the Dark Below DLC....

[HTML1] The gaming community gets a bad rap. For every statistic regarding toxicity in multiplayer games or report of anti-social pranking, there are hundreds of players outside of the spotlight who genuinely mean well. Whether they’re speedrunning games for charity or simply helping out hapless newbies, gamers are, for the most part, good people. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t a few malcontents out there, and almost every popular game attracts its fair share of bad apples....

Luckily, the Deus Ex: Human Revolution Facebook campaign is starting off a little more realistically and asking for only 50,000 Likes to achieve the first of four phases of asset unlocks. Unlike Battlefield 3, which was asking for 1,000,000. As of today, the page has 17,768 Likes and has one item unlocked so far: Concept art for the Belltower Spec Ops NPC - viewable on the Deus Ex Facebook homepage....

For anyone unaware of just how impressive this feat is, Hardcore characters in Diablo 3 are unique because once they die, they are permanently wiped from the player’s account. That means every battle could be a player’s last, no matter how much progress has been made. Those that have attempted this feat know how intense and terrifying encounters while playing Hardcore characters can be, so this nearly half hour video of the end of the game provided by Kripparrian himself will be all the more remarkable:...

In a Sunday op-ed published in the Charleston Gazette-Mail, Manchin explained that he will continue to oppose abolishing the filibuster and vote against the Democratic voting and election reform bill. “The truth, I would argue, is that voting and election reform that is done in a partisan manner will all but ensure partisan divisions continue to deepen,” he wrote. Later, Harrison appeared on MSNBC to oppose Manchin’s decision, telling host Alex Witt he’s “very disappointed....

In the aftermath of the Capitol riot, Fox news fell into third place among cable news broadcasters for most of January, behind CNN and MSNBC, as conservative viewers turned to networks further to the right. Fox News recovered viewers in recent months, beating its rivals in April, but viewership of major cable news networks have dropped across the board under Joe Biden’s presidency. In a new interview on Newsmax, host Dick Morris asked Trump to explain why some conservatives have abandoned Fox News....

Titled The Knife of Dunwall, this Dishonored DLC puts players into the shoes of the Daud, the assassin who sets the entire Dishonored story in motion. Vigilant gamers will recognize Daud as the man who actually killed the Empress, although it is Corvo who is framed for her murder. In The Knife of Dunwall, players will find out what happened to Daud after the deed was done. And as luck would have it, Daud too has a run-in with the mysterious Outsider, who apparently bequeaths him with supernatural powers similar to Corvo’s....

Developer Arkane Studios and publisher Bethesda have released the gamplay demo for their highly anticipated stealth actioner Dishonored, the same demo that was on display during E3 2012. In the demo, players will notice that Co-Creative Directors Harvey Smith and Raphael Colantonio have two distinct playthroughts on display, one stealthy and one aggressive. Both are certainly viable options for how to approach every assassination target in Dishonored, and each are determined by the sensibilities of the player....

Since then, Blomkamp has continued to work on various films, several with a similar style and genre such as Elysium and Dev Patel’s Chappie, though he never got back around to that Halo adaptation. Fans of his work have often wondered whether he would ever return to the world of District 9, and just recently there has been official word on a long-awaited sequel.

The Ring doorbell footage was originally captured by Kevin David of New Milford, Connecticut, reported WFLA. However, it was re-posted to Reddit’s “Interesting As F**k” forum on Thursday by Redditor u/Reverb001. So far, it has amassed more than 46,000 upvotes and over 1,400 comments from Redditors who, despite being entertained by the video, weren’t very shocked to see two pigs successfully defending their territory. The video opens with the bear jumping into the pen of Hammy and Mary, reported WFLA....

Ryan DeMarre was seated on a flight from Seattle, Washington to Maui, Hawaii with his daughter on July 2. But before they could take off for vacation, airline staff told DeMarre that they had to get off the plane because of an “invalid ticket.” He recorded the incident and posted his video on TikTok, where it has amassed 2.8 million views. Travel chaos abounded over the Fourth of July weekend this year, with thousands of flights delayed or canceled amid the aviation industry’s continued struggle with staffing shortages, skyrocketing fuel prices and lingering supply chain issues....

According to the developer, the game will be different from its other shooters and more importantly, it will please fans of the franchise. We heard this last year from id Software’s design director Matt Hooper and at QuakeCon 2012 during the keynote, John Carmack provided another little Doom 4 update. Carmack took to the stage yesterday as QuakeCon 2012 kicked off and while discussing why they closed up development on their mobile products - to focus on “grand slam” projects that they and Bethesda are all about - he explained that that talent they wanted to bring onto the “Doom 4 project....
