And while Eminem is always prominent in the music industry, he’s not usually so much so in the gaming industry. Yet, it seems the artist could be the next to host a concert with Fortnite, if recent happenings and rumors are any suggestion. RELATED: Fortnite Confirms Dragon Ball Z Crossover Eminem x Fortnite Rumors As pointed out by Fortnite account and Epic Games Partner HYPEX, the only artist playing on Fortnite’s Icon Radio on August 13 was Eminem....

In general, Grand Theft Auto Online RP servers are serious about players staying in character. It’s among one of the main rules players are taught when first participating in roleplay. While it doesn’t mean that players are limited to Los Santos-based characters, it does mean that players must maintain a certain level of dedication to the role that they’re playing. For Twitch streamer Burn, that meant fully embodying the character of Wario as he would be if he actually existed in Los Santos....

Should the voters trust Gingrich? Until a few months ago, he was regarded – by the intelligentsia, at least – as a blabbermouth C-Span congressman. Now he is called a visionary, a description he would not dispute. The pundits expect him to reverse the tide of history, transform the balance of powers, rewrite the compact between voters and their elected representatives. Most Americans, however, are wary. Only half of those answering a Newsweek Poll have ever heard of the “Contract With America,” and half of them dismissed it as “just a campaign promise that shouldn’t be taken seriously....

Though he wears Army fatigues and carries a gun, Griffin is a civilian, part of a controversial program known as the Human Terrain System. According to a Pentagon blueprint from 2006, the idea is to recruit academics whose area expertise and language skills can help the military wage a smarter counterinsurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan. These specialists, among other things, are meant to map the population of towns and villages, identify the clans that matter and the fault lines within them, then advise U....

Many are speaking out against the refusal of the judge to grant Lich bail, so going so far as to call Lich a political prisoner. I agree that the judge got it wrong in this case. But the truth is that it was a much closer call than many critics recognize. Something many seem to be missing is the fact that a bail hearing is not a trial. At trial, the outcome is binary: guilty or not guilty....

“Gilead” by Marilynne Robinson. The most exquisite rendering of a parent’s love for a child. “Dreams of My Russian Summers” by Andreï Makine. A novel about what it takes to live in a brutal world. “Cold Mountain” by Charles Frazier. For showing me what could be accomplished in historical fiction. “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” by Annie Dillard, which taught me to look harder at the natural world. “The Norton Anthology of Poetry....

Early career The Atlanta Falcons selected Brett Favre in the 1991 NFL Draft as a round two pick. He spent most of the season as a backup before getting traded to the Green Bay Packers. The Packers started Favre in 13 of their 15 games that season. Later, Favre started in all 16 games until 2010, his final season with the Green Bay Packers. Favre was exceptional while playing with the Packers, turning the once-struggling franchise into perpetual winners while establishing himself as one of the league’s best quarterbacks....

Mubarak feels more under siege than ever before. His regime is tainted by increasingly conspicuous corruption. Having squeezed out any obvious alternative to his own rule, the president still refuses to name a potential successor, clouding the country’s political future. His long battle with the fundamentalists keeps getting worse, crippling a tourist industry that is vital to the flagging economy. Despite attempts to compromise with ‘moderate" fundamentalists and brief efforts at mediation with the radicals, the past year has seen a steady escalation of political violence....

The object, dubbed 2020 SO by astronomers, will come within “just” 31,605 miles of our planet at 3:50 a.m. ET on December 1, according to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS.) This is an “extremely close,” albeit safe, approach, with the object passing at a distance equivalent to around 13 percent of the average distance between our planet and the moon, astronomer Gianluca Masi from the Virtual Telescope Project told Newsweek....

Over the years hundreds of journalists have quoted Marshall’s famous study—including me, in the pages of NEWSWEEK. But last month a reader sent me a copy of a March 1989 article from American Heritage magazine that set me straight. In fact, there is no real evidence that so few soldiers open fire, writes Frederick Smoler in “The Secret of the Soldiers Who Don’t Shoot.” “It just may be,” concludes Smoler, “that Samuel Lyman Marshall made the whole thing up....

“The Mambo Kings” didn’t turn the Spanish actor into an overnight U.S. sensation, but it was the beginning of an international odyssey that has brought him, this August morning, to the poolside of the Spanish-style Brentwood home he shares with actress Melanie Griffith and her kids. The street happens to be the same one O. J. Simpson lives on, his landlord happens to be Michelle Pfeiffer and Banderas, now in possession of fluent if somewhat idiosyncratic English, happens to be the busiest, and perhaps the hottest, new star in town....

After a few more sequels in the coming years, BioShock went quiet for a long time, with the last mainline installment being BioShock Infinite back in 2013. Fan prayers for a new game seem to be answered, with rumors indicated that the new BioShock (being developed by Cloud Chamber) will be revealed during The Game Awards presentation next week. It remains to be seen exactly what shape this new BioShock project may take, but with an underwater utopia and city in the sky already done, it would be very compelling if the creative team looked to System Shock as a source of inspiration....

The Los Angeles Lakers’ decision to bring back Johnson, their most popular player ever, as coach was a true stunner. Since Magic retired after testing HIV-positive in 1991, the team’s fabled “Showtime” has shut down, a fact reflected in sagging attendance and the dearth of Hollywood superstars on Jack Nicholson row. L.A. appears destined to miss the playoffs for the first time in 18 years. Johnson, 34, declared his virus a nonfactor along with his lack of coaching experience....

Two steps forward, one step back. As with any revolutionary movement, there are hiccups which need to be worked out. And that is precisely what IART (India Amateur Runners Trust) aims to do with the production of their pioneering running movie venture in cooperation with Curley Street Media and In The Brilliant White. What is this running movie about? This movie is intended to be a testament to the power that running brings into our lives....

As well-liked as Chrono Cross was in its time, Chrono Trigger is more famously acclaimed, still regarded as a top-tier RPG some twenty-five years after its release. Chrono Trigger has a received a few different ports over the years, coming to the Nintendo DS and to PC, but a truly new version hasn’t cropped up in a while. It’s high time that Square Enix remade Chrono Trigger, and not just because the rest of the game industry is excited about remakes right now....

Dangerous tires aren’t the only reason Firestone has found itself under the klieg lights of public scrutiny. A series of safety incidents at Firestone plants, some hardball labor tactics and its unrespon-siveness to the Clinton administration’s entreaties place Bridgestone–Firestone’s parent–in a category all its own for Reich. He told Newsweek that as Labor secretary he “dealt with no company that was as irresponsible as Bridgestone.’’ Now, questions about plant safety and labor relations are central to the current fire-storm surrounding Firestone, as lawyers suing the company assert that poor labor relations may have hurt quality....

Dole once backed a constitutional ban on abortion with no exceptions. He would now allow abortion in cases of rape and incest or to protect the mother’s life, and he recently said that abortion “shouldn’t be a dominant issue” in the ‘96 campaign. Strong free-trader in the Senate. “What does [the protectionist] Ross Perot say about the 700,000 American jobs that are now created because of exports to Mexico?” he asked in ‘93....
