The PlayStation VR struggles with recreating the game’s otherwise impressive visuals, with players having to contend with blurry textures and a shockingly bad draw distance. Pop-in is a major issue when playing Hitman 3 in VR, especially in the Dubai mission. The drinks and appetizers found throughout the room in the beginning will pop-in and out depending on player distance, and the same thing goes for the NPCs. It’s hard to get immersed in the game when crowds of identical people are constantly phasing in and out of the game world....

The Hitman games have been a big “hit” in the stealth games genre, although some people criticize the first two games in the World of Assassination trilogy for being too repetitive. The new Hitman 3 game modes are IOI’s answer to this criticism, and only time will tell if players judge them to be a good answer or not. Sniper Assassin mode is returning to Hitman 3, but single-player only, and the mode’s servers in Hitman 2 will be retired before the new game’s launch....

While the HIV RNA test is able to detect the virus within a smaller window of time after exposure than other HIV tests, it is not often used for initial screening because it is expensive and offers only a minor time difference over the more often used antigen/antibody test. Read on to learn why you might take an HIV RNA test, what to expect when you take it, and how it compares with other HIV tests....

Now actor Jed Brophy, who played the dwarf Nori, argues that Warner Bros. interference is responsible for the uninspired nature of the films. “[The studios] get in the way… I may be speaking out of turn here, and probably if those people ever find me I’ll get slammed, but I think that Warner Bros. kind of got in the way of Peter and The Hobbit.” To be fair, rumors of studio interference have swirled around the production for ages, but this is one of the most direct admissions of that fact in quite some time....

Gareth Southgate’s side, who finished eight points clear at the top of Group F in Europe’s qualifying section, are in pot two for the ceremony in Moscow. Dabblebet’s World Cup odds here They could be paired with any of Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Portugal or Belgium in their group in Russia, with the world’s top-ranked teams — along with the host nation — in pot one. Pot three also features some tough sides, including Iceland, who knocked Hodgson’s England out of Euro 2016 to spell the end of his tenure....

If we were to relocate them to another world, say the wizarding world of Harry Potter. No doubt there would be some interesting hi-jinks and mischief. Assuming they could all focus enough to enroll at Hogwarts to obtain a magical education here’s the houses each of these interesting individuals might end up in. 10 Amara: Gryffindor Amara is a brave fighter who faces her problems head-on with her siren abilities and melee combat prowess....

On the other hand, the game has also drawn its fair share of controversy. The lead designer for the Hogwarts Legacy, Troy Leavitt, has been facing criticism for Gamergate videos he had previously made for his YouTube channel. Many of his videos were espoused anti-feminist or pro-Gamergate views, and others defended accused sexual harassers. Gamergate was, for the uninitiated, a harassment campaign that targeted game developers Zoe Quinn and Brianna Wu, as well as media critic Anita Sarkeesian and other prominent women associated with the video games industry....

On Thursday, March 17 at 2pm PT, Sony will be hosting a special State of Play presentation dedicated entirely to Hogwarts Legacy.

While fans will have to wait until March 17 to see more of Hogwarts Legacy in action, developer Avalanche Software has given fans a brief glimpse of what they can expect....

In the meantime, those fans will just have to continue speculating with the small handful of trailers and informational blurbs released by Team Cherry thus far. One concrete detail is that Hornet, the princess-protector of Hallownest, will find herself in a new land called Pharloom where dark secrets await. The Silksong reveal trailer from February 2019 shows Hornet locked in a cage, though it isn’t clear whether she was kidnaped from Hallownest or caught while traveling the wider world....

So he was, for now. The perils of Bloody Sunday, when an unprepared government nearly lost its grip on power, were blown away in a one-sided shoot-out on Monday. With the rout of his enemies in Moscow, and with the virtual collapse of Russia’s national political institutions, Yeltsin was left looking like a dictator, albeit a relatively benign one. “Communism hasn’t won, but democracy hasn’t won, either,” complained a Russian human-rights activist....

The campaign begins next week and Holmes, whose 22-try haul in 2018 was bettered by only David Fusitu’a, will be on the other side of the world in Florida, relying on Twitter updates to see how the Sharks fare. That is because the 23-year-old Australia international has elected to follow in the footsteps of Jarryd Hayne and Jordan Mailata and transfer from rugby league to the NFL. Yet while that journey and the potential of a spot on one of the 32 NFL franchises’ 53-man rosters excites Holmes, he concedes he still holds fond memories of his previous career....

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to try out a Halo-based demo with the HoloLens tech, and what I was able to see showed promise. That said, the limitations of the current screen featured on the device makes it less immersive and more obvious in its execution. The demo I was given required me to first measure the distance between my pupils before strapping a HoloLens to my head....

Menopausal symptoms include irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and sleep problems. While some people navigate menopause rather easily, others experience moderate to severe discomfort and may want treatment to ease their symptoms. You can use an at-home self-test to learn if your symptoms mean you are in a stage of menopause and if it’s time to see your healthcare provider for relief. This article describes the science behind at-home menopause test kits, who might want to take the test, and how the test works....

Police said early Saturday morning that an investigation is underway following the incident that occurred overnight. “The GBI is investigating a shooting incident that happened at an off campus party in Fort Valley. A total of eight people were shot. Of the eight people, one person has died,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigation tweeted on Saturday. In a campus update on Saturday, FVSU said that while several students attended the party, the person who died was not affiliated with the university....

The Seymour Fire Department (SFD) confirmed a garden torch was involved in the blaze that spread at a home on Walnut Street at about 5:30 p.m. on Friday, according to the Connecticut Post. An SFD spokesperson said in a Facebook post on Monday: “There was in fact a fire at a home where a garden torch was being used to melt away some ice. These devices are, in fact, designed for weed management and can be used to mitigate ice....

The Amaze’s petrol version was unveiled in Thailand earlier today and its diesel version will be powered by an all-aluminum 1,500 cc engine. With a length of less than 4 meters, the Honda Amaze will benefit from having lower excise duty of 12 percent by being in the category of small cars as opposed to 24 percent for the bigger cars. Now, Honda hasn’t as yet shed any light on the pricing of this car, but we expect it to be under Rs....

Each year, tens of thousands of people flock to Victoria Park to pay tribute to those killed when China’s military drove tanks through student-led pro-democracy protests on June 4, 1989. The crackdown killed hundreds, if not thousands, and further sent China into isolation, the Associated Press reported. The Chinese Communist Party has never allowed public events on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square on the mainland. Security was ramped up at Beijing Square, where police checked pedestrians’ IDs....

You can put the third name among Mexico’s top players without fear. “El Chucky” scored two lovely goals Friday in a 3-3 draw with Belgium, continuing his incredible start to the 2017-18 campaign and solidifying his place as a bona fide star for El Tri. It was a positive performance for Mexico, which twice went behind and twice fought back to level the scoreline. The second equalizer came when Hector Herrera sent a long ball in Lozano’s direction and the 22-year-old used his first touch to set himself up for a right-footed shot to the inside post that flummoxed goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois....
