Werewolf By Night sees several monster hunters competing in a ritual hunt, with the winner acquiring the Bloodstone - a powerful artifact that can deal great damage to even the strongest monsters. Though the goal is to find and kill the monster first, what ensues is essentially a battle royale competition, as hunters are free to kill each other to improve their chances of being victorious. Though the concept makes for an action-packed live action project, it truly is perfect for a video game....

Did we mention this is a musical? You might not have figured that out from the “Sweeney Todd” trailers, which feature nary a sung note. That seems like an especially strange choice given that “Sweeney” is practically an opera—a good 75 percent of the film is sung. Then again, neither Johnny Depp nor Helena Bonham Carter has ever warbled a note professionally, so maybe there’s a reason for the nonmusical commercials....

There is no question that many U.S. military personnel have fallen sick since returning from the Persian Gulf in 1991. An estimated 10,000 Desert Storm veterans have reported unusual health problems–the complaints include joint pain, tremors, fatigue, memory loss and intermittent diarrhea–and 80,000 have been concerned enough to seek special government health screenings. Studies comparing gulf warriors with veterans who were stationed elsewhere at the time have found no significant health differences....

The fault is the border section between two massive tectonic plates under the surface of the Earth. It stretches for more than 800 miles through California, past San Francisco and nearly as far south as San Diego. These plates are relatively static, meaning they can see large pressures build up over time. And when they move, they can produce big earthquakes. The fault continues to cause concern as multiple segments appears to be significantly stressed....

Little did they know they would help start a craze that might soon dot London with honeycomblike cubbyholes. Piercy and Conner unveiled their unique design in a trade magazine last fall, prompting a media frenzy, inquiries from financial backers and eventually more than 20,000 e-mails and phone calls from interested buyers. Now it seems everybody is talking about their Microflats and a rival firm’s Mini Suites. Both firms are in negotiations for building sites and hope to start construction by December....

Last week Lee seemed on the verge of gaining partial freedom. With key elements of the U.S. Justice Department’s case seeming to dissolve in open court, U.S. Judge James A. Parker ordered Lee’s release from jail–with a $1 million bail–pending trial. Government lawyers scrambled to appeal, and on Friday won a brief reprieve when an appellate court temporarily blocked Parker’s order from taking effect. But the prosecutors still face setbacks on other fronts....

In families with at least one person who has been diagnosed with celiac, so-called first-degree relatives—parents, children, and siblings—carry at least a one-in-22 chance of also having the condition. So-called second-degree relatives (aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandparents, grandchildren or half-siblings) carry at least a one-in-39 chance of having celiac disease. Some studies have shown even higher odds: In one study, for example, 11% of first-degree relatives (that’s one in every nine relatives) showed the characteristic intestinal damage known as villous atrophy, which means they had celiac disease....

As Fallout follows an alternate world history starting around the 1950s, some major and minor events in the series line up with some real-life events. Due to the games all having different protagonists as well with different stories, events of the games don’t necessarily come in series order.

I and a colleague were indeed lucky to be warmly received by the management of the club over the recent international break. Technical Secretary Paulo Gonçalves very kindly gave us a tour around the club’s many facilities, which were renovated 10 years ago but still look as good as new. The highlights were a wonderful museum depicting their rich history and well decorated walls with posters of the team that finished runners up in the Portuguese League Cup in 2010/11....

Who killed JonBenet Ramsey? In the 26 months since the body of the 6-year-old child-pageant contestant was found in the basement of her parents’ sprawling Boulder, Colo., home, there have been no arrests. To the police–and to much of the public–the girl’s parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, are key suspects, but the Ramseys steadfastly maintain their innocence. The celebrated case–with its bizarre three-page ransom note, war between cops and prosecutors and endless tabloid speculation–is the subject of Lawrence Schiller’s 621-page book ““Perfect Murder–Perfect Town,’’ which is being published this week....

The base game of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot recreates the story of Dragon Ball Z with surprising detail. Players run through nearly every moment of the original show as Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Future Trunks, all the way up through the Buu Saga. In order to extend the game’s lifetime a bit, DLC was released as well. The first two DLC in the season pass introduced content from the Dragon Ball Z movies Battle of Gods and Resurrection F, granting players the power of a Super Saiyan God and the Super Saiyan Blue form as a result....

My dream Formula One team When I think about my dream Formula One team, the first combination which pops in my mind without getting second thoughts is Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. Until FIA comes up with a rule which says the race should be without any team strategy—the team cannot be partial to a driver – this combination will remain just a fairytale team. Both the racers have the same goal, that is to win....

Furret is a long, ferret-shaped normal-type Pokemon introduced in Gen 2 and featured in later games, including New Pokemon Snap. It evolves from the round, raccoon-like Pokemon Sentret, also normal-type, and can be found in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl by capturing a Sentret using Poke Radar and evolving it. RELATED: Pokemon and Baccarat Are Selling Super Expensive Crystal Figurines The current version of the stream, uploaded by YouTuber 11pixels and titled “Furret on an Escalator until Diamond & Pearl remakes are released,” shows a 3D Furret model scampering up the banister of an escalator going down....

By most accounts, California Adventure is a $1.4 billion disaster, a victim of the recession that coincided with its February 2001 debut, the downturn in international tourism after the September 11 attacks and, most of all, the fact that everything about it is pretty dreadful. Though its central theme–lauding the great state of California–is perfectly commendable, the park is essentially a glorified state fair. Who wants to pay $45 bucks a pop to see crop-growing and a tortilla-making demonstration?...

Short for certified financial planner, this is the most common appellation used by general planners. CFPs must have three years of experience and take college courses or study at home for a two-day, 10-hour exam. More than 27,000 planners have earned the credential, which is issued by Denver’s CFP Board of Standards. This signals a certified public accountant (CPA) who’s also a personal financial specialist. A PFS must have at least three years of experience and pass a six-hour exam....

Luna gets new games all the time and we expect a few bugs in this early access period, but this article explores what the platform looks like now. The platform promises no download or update times and near-ubiquitous hardware compatibility. It delivers these through browser access and a range of apps for different devices. In writing this article, we accessed Luna through the Windows app and through the browser. Unfortunately, the mobile interface was not compatible with a wide range of smartphones at the time of this writing....

A Hat in Time is certainly one of the wackiest 3D platformers out there. With a simple premise, “a little girl and her spaceship,” fans of the genre have fallen in love since its initial release on PC in 2017. A Hat in Time has since been brought to consoles including PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, but the DLC pack Seal the Deal was exclusive to PC and Switch versions of the game....

Not because the Marines weren’t good soldiers, but Master Chief is of another breed. The Spartans, of which Master Chief belongs, are an genetically-engineered humans in Halo that tower over standard people and are trained for combat from childhood. Master Chief survives each dangerous encounter with a combination of dumb luck and the skill he’s carried with him since he was young. One of those skills he uses is the ability to dual-wield, but how this manifests in each game differs....

An Important Book that you admit you haven’t read: “David Copperfield.” I feel a little guilty about that. I’ve read other Dickens. The book you most cared about sharing with your kids: I should say all these deeper things, but frankly my favorite is “The Book About Moomin, Mymble and Little My,” by Tove Jansson. We discovered it when we were in Finland. It’s just an awful lot of fun....
