In Hogwarts Legacy, players will have the freedom to choose their house. This already hints at a degree of replayability Hogwarts Legacy may have, inspiring at least four different playthroughs to experience what life is like as a student in each house. But while house selection is a fun option, it also comes with predetermined biases that have been influenced by stereotypical and archetypal depictions of characters from the Harry Potter novels and films....

Hogwarts Legacy initially drew in a lot of fan excitement when it was first revealed during a PlayStation 5 event back in 2020. Though the title’s original release date was set for 2021, Hogwarts Legacy got hit with major delays, resulting in the launch being moved to 2022. The development team stated that more time was needed to make sure the game met fan expectations of an in-game version of the Wizarding World....

Due to the nature of Hollow Knight’s intentionally vague approach to story, there are some concepts and areas of the game that benefit from further exploration. With its importance to the overall story, Void is a great example of this. In the later stages of the game, the Knight is tasked with visiting The Abyss, an area that is found in the absolute depths of Hallownest. This is where Void is encountered....

The non-profit, 84-member organization of international journalists, announced Thursday that it voted to reform its bylaws and expand its membership in a 63 to 19 vote after the Globes came under much criticism. Now, a new board will be elected that will include some non-members for the first time in the group’s history that dates back to the 1940s. The Globes was denounced by many after ethical concerns were raised and a recent vote that led to no Black members being included....

Salsberg has collected six wins, spending parts of the past 10 years on the live tournament circuit. His biggest win to date came in September of 2012 where he won the World Poker Tour (WPT) Grand Prix de Paris at the prestigious Aviation Club de France, taking home the €380,000 first prize. He would finish 12th in that same event the very next year. His career totals have now surpassed the $1....

But before all the spandex and caps took over the cinema, it wasn’t like cinemas were a haven for more movies than any moviegoer could even comprehend. There were always one or two movies at a time controlling theaters. The cinema and Hollywood as a whole have always capitalized on what was the big fad that audiences were clamoring to see. What has become one of the most notable current trends on streaming services or at the box office is the use of 80s nostalgia can give insight into what kind of trends Hollywood and cinemas were capitalizing on....

Desde entonces, los empresarios rusos han tenido que buscar alternativas para evitar el hundimiento de sus negocios. Hay una que ha llamado especialmente la atención y es la que tiene que ver con las salas de cines y las películas de Hollywood, sustituidas ahora por copias pirata. La industria del cine estadounidense también ha decidido cortar cualquier relación con Rusia. Estudios con tan peso como Warner Bros., Sony o Paramount han dejado de enviar los últimos estrenos al país soviético y las salas han tenido que ingeniárselas....

Development on the Disney reboot of Home Alone began after the company gained the rights to the franchise in its acquisition of 20th Century Fox. While the Columbus films centered on a young boy named Kevin McCallister and his efforts to thwart a pair of burglars with a series of elaborate traps, the reboot appears to be flipping the script by following a married couple who face off against a child named Max who has stolen from them....

Kevin Wayne VanLuven, 59, of Clarkston, was arraigned on charges of aggravated indecent exposure and malicious destruction of property under $200. The incident took place in the home of an Oxford Township couple in Oakland County, part of the metropolitan Detroit area, on March 12. The couple were having their home inspected by VanLuven before its sale. According to a statement from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, the couple let VanLuven and the buyer’s real estate agent into their home and left the property during the inspection....

Disgruntlement about the loneliness, isolation and inconveniences of contemporary suburban life have now become central to the public conversation about sprawl. Recent public health studies show connections between suburban living and hypertension, obesity and depression. Stuck in traffic, flanked by anonymous strip malls, city escapees who once yearned for backyards now long for sidewalks and the public life associated with cities and towns. The family dog has begun chasing its tail....

Well, and the team that had a tire explode into a fireball during a pit stop. But mostly there was an abundance of thanks and gratitude as teams wrapped up the 2013 season and some drivers and crewmen prepared to move on to new ventures. Here’s some of the chatter from the final race of the season and how teams summed up their seasons during and after the Ford EcoBoost 400....

“We’re all playing” read the headline in sports tabloid Diez, while Mas declared that “All Honduras will be in The Olimpico,” going on to explain that while some Catrachos will be in the stands and others watching from home “what’s important is that the national team won’t be alone today.” The press has been even more united than usual, with great umbrage taken at reports in Australia that characterized Honduras as a dangerous country and speculation that supporters might be better off sitting this trip out than heading to San Pedro Sula....

U.K.-based activism group Friends of Hong Kong confirmed to Newsweek that 19-year-old Tony Chung was being held by police, and that his house was being searched. Chung, former convenor of the now disbanded pro-independence group Studentlocalism, had arrived at the U.S. Consulate General at 8:10 a.m. local time but found it closed, Apple Daily reported. During his 20-minute wait for the U.S. consulate to open, Chung called Friends of Hong Kong from a Pacific Coffee branch just 80 feet from the building....

One caveat before I post an excerpt from the story. Hirsh’s questions are crucial, but there’s one he missed: Does America even realize what they may be getting with McCain? After months of talking with voters, I suspect not. McCain’s record as a pragmatist is familiar–to the delight of many independents and the consternation of some conservatives. But his hotheaded reputation doesn’t reach much beyond the Beltway. Democrats are working hard to caricature McCain (unfairly, I think) as a bloodthirsty warmonger, and in some ways, the charges are similar....

Hira Sabadell are currently placed in seventh place in the points table, winning only one out of their four ECS T10 Barcelona Super Series matches. They fell to a 33-run defeat in their previous outing against the Catalunya Tigers. Fateh, on the other hand, find themselves languishing at the bottom of the standings, having lost three in three. They were defeated by the Hawks by five wickets in their last ECS T10 Barcelona Super Series match....

The state’s obligation to protect life is rooted in centuries of common law and legal history. The United States ratified the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which states that no person shall be deprived of “life, liberty or property, without due process of law,” in 1868. Long before that, our Founders outlined the obligation to protect life in the Declaration of Independence, and they in turn relied on the common law tradition, as described by William Blackstone....

Developer IO Interactive has finally cleared the air on the status of Hitman, clarifying that the game is still slated to hit its anticipated March 11th launch date, but the game will now be chopped up into an episodic entries. When the game hits, it will feature the prologue and first mission, but gamers will need to wait until April for the next update, when the second mission, set in Italy, will go live....

However, many fans may not be aware that the original intent for the Hitman game in 2016 was to expand the story similar to an MMO-styled game - including the first Hitman game being referred to as Season 1 during development. However, due to poor sales, IO Interactive was not able to fully commit to out its vision for the game. RELATED: Hitman 3 Surges Past Hitman 2 Sales To Become Most Successful Series Entry...
