Could Bioshock And Xcom 2 Designers Team For A New Game

Recently, a fan tweeted at Levine and Solomon, and stated that he would love to see a “bastard child” of Freedom Force and the XCOM series. Rather than let that amusing comment fade away, Levine appeared intrigued by the idea and replied enthusiastically with a tweet: [HTML1] Within minutes, Solomon replied to the tweet thread with an emphatic response of his own: [HTML2] As interesting as it is to imagine a game that combines the superhero aesthetic of Freedom Force with the intense strategy of XCOM, it is unlikely that Levine and Solomon’s enthusiastic comments will actually lead to anything....

Could Faithless Electors Flip The Presidential Election For Trump

Because each state must elect 2 Senators and have at least one Congressional district, every state must have at least 3 electoral votes.

Could Injuries To Shelvey And Lascelles Be Responsible For Upturn In Fortune For Newcastle United

Wrapped up against the elements, with a snood and hat hiding his distinctive features, it took a while for many of the fans to realise that the player in question was Jonjo Shelvey, who had remained on the bench for the duration of the game.

Could Resident Evil Have Done Better Without The Name

One of the most common complaints levied against pop-culture adaptations is that the work feels like an unrelated script with the marketable IP’s name attached. A studio with a script it may not have the most faith in is likely to slap a barely related name on the front and send it to the screen, but that technique doesn’t always help.

Counter Strike Rivalry Leads To Real Stabbing

Julien Barreaux, a 20-year-old Counter-Strike player, informed police he wanted his rival “wiped out” after he lost a virtual knife encounter online.

Counties With History Of Voter Discrimination Continuing To Purge Rolls At Higher Rates

In 2018, these counties purged voters at a rate 40 percent higher than counties which had not engaged in systemic, discriminatory practices, as defined by a now-invalidated federal civil rights statute. The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013, paving the way for certain jurisdictions to avoid a burdensome process known as “preclearance” before enacting changes to their voting procedures. Before the court’s ruling, states with a history of voter discrimination had to clear proposed changes to their voting systems with the Department of Justice....

Congressman Slams Hypocrisy Of Trump Telling Americans To Join Military He Refused To Do It Himself

“I think that Trump believes that by saluting the troops and saluting the flag today, it makes up for his unwillingness to do so when it actually matters,” Moulton, who represents Massachusetts and is a veteran who served four tours in Iraq, said in an interview with ABC This Week that was taped on Thursday but aired Sunday. “You know, his unwillingness to answer the call to go to Vietnam, his unwillingness to confront Putin....

“Of the four (ex-Maple Leafs) players we talked to today, I can tell you both D.J. (head coach D.J. Smith) and I can say that Connor Brown was probably the most excited to be here,” Dorion said at the time. While it seems somewhat odd that a player would be excited about leaving a potential Stanley Cup contender for a club that finished 31st overall in league standings last season, Brown felt stifled in his role with the Maple Leafs....

Contact Lenses That Zoom When You Blink Are A Tantalizing Glimpse Of The Future

The prototype was detailed in a paper (opens in new tab) published by the Advanced Functional Materials journal and describes a biomimetic lens made from a special elastic polymer. According to the report, the stretchy material adapts the focal length of the lens in response to electric signals emitted by the human eye. Boffins call these electrooculographic signals, and by placing electrodes around the wearer’s eye, the researchers say they are able to tie the change in focal length to specific eye muscle movements, like blinking twice....
