The upcoming sequel to 2016’s hugely popular shooter Overwatch was something many Blizzard fans had been keeping their eye on, alongside the much-awaited Diablo 4. However, after no news on either game for quite some time, they were both announced to be delayed by Blizzard. No new dates were offered on when the games may release, which for many fans was a worrying announcement. Now though, it appears that Blizzard is going to break its silence on the delayed titles....

Blizzard has dropped the ball at BlizzCon events in the past, perhaps most infamously with the Diablo Immortal reveal, but still, it’s safe to say that many were not prepared for the general lack of major Overwatch news at the event. After all, besides Diablo 4, Overwatch 2 is one of the only new games that has actually been announced by Blizzard. And with the game having a major presence at BlizzCon 2019, many assumed that it would have a similar impact at BlizzCon 2021....

That pretty much sums up the mission of Biosphere II. Its creators, Space Biosphere Ventures Inc., say it will produce insights into Earth’s fragile ecosystems and someday serve as a model for colon planets. With its seven separate “biomes,” Biosphere II is intended to be completely self-sufficient; inhabitants will produce all their own food and recycle their own air, water and waste, receiving only sunlight, electricity and electronic communications from outside....

As a result, as more and more details are revealed for the hottest games of 2011, there’s still plenty of mystery surrounding Mass Effect 3. Now, Mass Effect 3 associate producer, Michael Gamble, is clarifying details regarding what players can expect from the upcoming title including basic gameplay refinements (i.e. RPG elements), improved character animations (to sell the emotional impact of the story), and even a super-negative ending option where the “reapers can win....

Though no group has taken responsibility for the attack, experts believe state-sponsored Russian hackers are behind the breach. Senator Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat who serves as the vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and is a co-chair of the Senate Cybersecurity Caucus, described Trump’s lack of public acknowledgment of the SolarWinds hack as “extremely troubling.” In a Friday statement, Warner described the cyberattack as a “devastating breach of U....

The solution is deceptively simple. Take perhaps the one part of Suicide Squad that both critics and audiences agreed on – Margot Robbie’s phenomenal, deranged Harley Quinn – and build a new star vehicle around her, while leveraging the newfound audience enthusiasm for female-led blockbusters that also drove the success of Wonder Woman – DC’s biggest success so far, by most metrics. As for Jared Leto’s controversial Joker? Well, out of sight, out of mind....

Despite starting Monday with a price of around $58,000, Bitcoin entered Tuesday down by thousands, hitting a low of about $53,200 before climbing to around $54,000, where it remained at the time of publication according to CoinDesk’s real-time tracker. Between March 13 and March 14, the crypto shattered price records, surging past the $60,000 mark before eventually plummeting to around $53,000 only three days later, the metrics show. In February 2021, the price was as low as $45,000....

China’s continued crackdown on Bitcoin mining sent the value of the world’s leading cryptocurrency below $30,000 for the first time since late January. Bitcoin’s drop Tuesday morning put it nearly 55% below its record high before recovering in mid-day trading. Bitcoin’s current price points to the “death cross”—when the 50-day moving average dips below its 200-day moving average—and may indicate the start of a bear market. Other cryptos, including Ethereum, XRP and Cardano, also fell Tuesday....

You could blame the Love Bug infestation on the romance of springtime, simple human curiosity – or on the vulnerability of the Internet and ubiquity of programs such as Microsoft Outlook. Like the Melissa virus, which rang up an estimated $80 million in damages one year ago, the Love Bug targeted Outlook users and used the Net to propagate itself. But unlike Melissa, which took a few days to wreak havoc and headlines, the Love Bug spread in a few hours, unleashing a flood of malicious code when users clicked on the file attachment included in the e-mail....

Vehicles have been a staple in the Grand Theft Auto titles since their inception, and there are many ways that GTA fans can traverse the Grand Theft Auto Online map, including with planes. Unlike other Grand Theft Auto titles, GTA Online is regularly updated with new content and occasional additions to this vehicle roster, which fittingly expands on available transportation options for dedicated players. Reddit user Luethifers_life recently shared a clip from their exploration of the Los Santos landscape using one of the aforementioned planes, with a seemingly glitched NPC bent backward on the wing....

Orlando Hall’s execution is scheduled for November 19 at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, the Department of Justice (DoJ) announced on Wednesday. Hall was convicted of kidnapping and killing a teenage girl in Texas in 1994. If the execution goes ahead as planned, 49-year-old Hall will become the eighth man put to death this year. The Trump administration has resumed federal executions after an informal moratorium that lasted almost two decades....

And black women; American Indian and Alaskan Native men; and Latino men are at 1.4 times greater risk of being killed by police force than their white peers.

As indicated in the image below courtesy of the Redditor and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 fan known as “thunde-r”, 10 of the maps coming to the title are brand new, and four of them–that is, (Firing Range, Jungle, Slums and Summit–are remakes of maps from past games. Plus, players won’t have to wait too long until the list of 14 maps expands, as the number will grow to 15 come November when Nuketown is added....

“Homicide investigators were able to review school surveillance cameras and found no signs of foul play in this tragic incident,” a statement from the Harris County Sheriff’s Department said. According to a statement released by the sheriff’s department, patrol deputies responded to a call from the Ehrhardt Elementary School, which is part of the Klein Independent School District “in reference to an in progress call in service.” “Klein Independent School Police were called to the elementary school grounds at around 8:10 p....

Drop them, throw them, send them swimming, jump on them. These Android-based devices will still work, and many even manage to bundle in crazy features, from modular components to secondary displays. So, what is so special about the Blackview BL8800 Pro is a 5G rugged smartphone? Well, it has thermal imaging. Is that enough though? Until July 1st, you can use the code JUN30 on AliExpress to get $30 off the BL8000 Pro, bringing the pre-order price to $305....

The FDA recently banned Juul and other tobacco and nicotine-based vapes and similar devices, opening the door for Blakk Tatted’s fruit-based hookah products. Hookahs are water pipes traditionally used to smoke sweetened tobacco. Blakk Smoke is tobacco and nicotine-free. (Juul appealed the FDA ban, and the court has issued a temporary stay, though the company’s products still cannot be sold.) Tatted also just released “On The Go” hookah vape pens and sponsored undisputed light heavyweight champion Devin Haney during his crowning fight....

I would like to assure the people all over the world who are shocked and outraged by the terror they are witnessing in East Timor that the Indonesian people share these same feelings, and more. I stress the Indonesian people–because they should not be equated with the transitional government of B. J. Habibie, a regime that neither represents nor reflects the views and aspirations of its constituents. The root cause of this dual tragedy, both East Timor’s and Indonesia’s, can be found in the attitude and stance of a government that sacrifices the public interest for its own narrow political and personal interests....

The French Football Federation will sit down with coach Laurent Blanc and discuss his future by the weekend, FFF chairman Noel Le Graet said Wednesday. “Tomorrow, Friday or the weekend,” said Le Graet – who has to determine France’s options after their Euro 2012 quarter-final exit to Spain. That was the minimum target for Les Bleus – but altercations between Samir Nasri with the media and other stories of unrest in the camp mean the pair will have plenty to thrash out....

After the Soul Society Arc, the Arrancar Arc revealed a different dimension to the Bleach power scaling by revealing the Arrancars’ striking abilities through characters like Nel, Ulquiorra, and Yami. Aizen’s immense power after fusing his body with the Hogyoku was another notable spectacle in the arc. However, the true extent of the Shinigami’s powers were revealed during the Thousand-Year Blood War Arc, where the manga unveiled all of Yamamoto Genryuusai’s abilities....
