The world that Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West presents is filled with a deep-rooted history that can be seen all across the land. Ruins of the old world dot every corner, giant machines lay in ruins, and factories churn out killer robots. Throughout the story of Horizon, players are given a small look into a world that fell apart. They learn about the aggressors, the struggles Earth faced, and the mission to keep it alive; however, it only goes so far....

Andrew Card. Bush has already given Card, the former transportation secretary and a veteran of his father’s administration, the post of chief of staff. He was deputy chief of staff under John Sununu during President Bush’s administration. Card told the press that when Bush called him, he said, “I’ve got a big job for you.” Condoleezza Rice. The foreign policy adviser, former provost of Stanford, seems destined to be named national security adviser....

The Kirby franchise doesn’t often have direct sequels to individual games, perhaps thanks to the Kirby franchise’s unstructured timeline, but Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s innovations make it worthy of an exception. While the game’s plot wraps itself up nicely, HAL Laboratory could derive an idea for a sequel by studying Nintendo’s work on Super Mario Odyssey. Its journey through many highly diverse worlds, as well as the new abilities Mario gained with Cappy’s help, seem like prime concepts to adapt into a Forgotten Land sequel....

A Certified Important Book you haven’t read: OK, you got me—I’ve never read “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.” The book you care most about having your children read: “Maximum Ride.” I want young Jack to know what his dad does at the office, and, hopefully, to be proud.

“The Dead Father” by Donald Barthelme. A breathtakingly original meditation on the volatile bond between fathers and sons. “Against Love” by Laura Kipnis. A provocative deconstruction of modern marriage presented with magnificent wit. “House” by Tracy Kidder. The exquisitely written account of building a home. It made me yearn to become an accomplished writer. “The Journalist and the Murderer” by Janet Malcolm. An exceedingly unflattering look at journalism’s underbelly....

Invincible India Coming in as favorites to lift the Asian Champions Trophy 2016, it was a job well done for team India. India didn’t lose a single game in their campaign to eventually strike gold! It was the perfect Diwali gift to all the fans and followers who were celebrating the ‘Festival of Light’ back home as India reclaimed their 2012 final loss to Pakistan in the same tournament. Throughout this campaign, India didn’t lose a single game....

Rollins has been a massive star in WWE following his debut on the main roster in 2012 alongside Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley) at the annual Survivor Series pay-per-view. Rollins has since gone on to become WWE Champion, WWE Universal Champion, Raw Tag Team Champion, a Money in the Bank winner, and much more. RELATED: WWE Stars Hit Row Are Among Company’s New Releases During the live television broadcast from the Barclays Center on Monday night, Rollins was jumped by a WWE fan as he made his way up the ramp....

Even through all of this disappointment, many fans still believe that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga could come out before the spring is over. One of the biggest rumors that many are holding onto is that the game will come out on May 4, what is often dubbed as “Star Wars Day” because of the “May the Force/4th be with you” wordplay. Capitalizing on the excitement of the day would certainly give the game a lot of attention, and serve as a great way to celebrate the Star Wars franchise....

The first step: understand what and who you are fighting. The district’s controversy began in 2018 when two high school students said a racial slur on TikTok. The teens apologized but still had to leave the district and move from the town as the reaction shifted from atonement to reckoning. Activists introduced the well-prepared $3 million Cultural Competency Plan (CCAP) in Southlake, under the guise that the plan was about inclusion and diversity....

“I thought Thomas should have been a bit more intense, I thought Thomas should have dominated,” said Lee said back in July of 2016. “I just thought the impact he would have made on this camp would have been a bit more.” MORE: Colin White sets sights on cracking Senators’ roster Chabot returned to junior for the 2016-17 season and led the Saint John Sea Dogs to an appearance at the Memorial Cup....

But now John was back. After living in Arkansas for several months, he had returned to the family’s bright red, cedar-frame ranch in the Rocky Mountain foothills. He made it clear: he didn’t want a divorce. Uncomfortable with him in the house, Terry packed her Forest Service uniform in a backpack and went to spend the night with her best friend, Stephanie Howard, a wildlife biologist. The next morning, on June 8, she drove to her job in the Pike National Forest....

The NBA has seen rivalries come and go in recent years, but this year’s Christmas Day schedule places a spotlight on a new era of rivalries that brings about nostalgic feelings from rivalries past. While Luka Doncic ascends into generational superstardom, LeBron James begins to enter the twilight of his decades-long run as one of the NBA’s best. The similarities of their games and the mutual respect between the two generational talents are especially reminiscent of the bond between Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, the epitome of the “idols become rivals” dynamic in the NBA....

This monumental silliness is the “employer mandate” proposed in George Mitchell’s health-care bill. It is all that’s left of Bill Clinton’s dream of “universal” coverage. And it is symbolic of the frantic, almost hallucinatory, turn the health-care debate took last week: the Democrats’ last, best effort to regulate one seventh of the American economy is built on a mirage. Even Mitchell’s own staffers advise not to take it too seriously....

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time something horrific happened at the hotel that resulted in someone’s death. The Cecil Hotel’s 94-year history is laced with prostitutes, drug dealers and murder. The Cecil, which opened 1927, has 299 hotel rooms, along with 301 single-room occupancy rooms (folks who checked into those used communal bathrooms in the hall). The Cecil is located at 640 S. Main Street in Los Angeles, not far from skid row....

Smith, the former Butler basketball player who passed away Tuesday morning at the age of 25 after a two-year battle with cancer, meant different things to different people. MORE: Smith inspired many with his passion for basketball, life and wife To his high school coach Scott Flatt, Smith went from a 6-5 freshman “string bean” who “didn’t look like a basketball player” to someone who acted as a role model to Flatt’s own son, even as Smith’s health began to deteriorate....

The papers have played no small part in the vice-like pressure swirling around the Manchester City goalkeeper, with the Guardian suggesting Hart’s international career is on the line. Whilst a poor performance on Tuesday would be extremely bad news, the suggestion that Hart’s tenure with England is approaching its end is fanciful at best. Hart has suffered from a well-documented lack of competition at City, with the downturn in form and confidence beginning well before Manuel Pellegrini’s arrival at the Etihad....

With a day’s break after facing Awadhe Warriors on their home turf, the Top Guns travel to New Delhi to face the home team there. The Delhi Acers have played two ties so far and have lost both with a 3-2 margin to Awadhe Warriors and Chennai Smashers. The home team will have confidence in the fact that they are placed higher on the league table than Bengaluru, giving them a slight edge in the contest in New Delhi....

Here’s an overview of all the new FaceTime features in macOS Ventura, and how to start taking advantage of them. Communicate Better With Live Captions It’s hard to have a conversation if you can’t hear what people are saying. While it’s possible to reduce the background noise in FaceTime, that isn’t always powerful enough, which is where Live Captions come in. Live Captions automatically transcribe what people are saying in a FaceTime and show up at the side of the screen....

Bryson DeChambeau, 27, will square off against the 51-year-old Mickelson, but the PGA Tour’s longest driver (322.4 yards per drive) won’t be the only participant. A pair of MVP NFL quarterbacks will be joining the two major-champion golfers. Tom Brady will reprise his role from “The Match 2” as Mickelson’s wingman. Aaron Rodgers will partner with DeChambeau to make things interesting. “The Match 4” should be an exciting battle and the DeChambeau-Rodgers pairing might be the most intriguing one to date....
