343 Industries has refuted the claims that Halo’s TV show has had any sort of impact on the game’s development. In a statement to IGN, a 343 representative said that the two projects are operating completely independently from one another, as the Halo show is handled by a “devoted transmedia team.” Initially, the information surfaced on Thurrott, from a supposed insider. It is worth noting that 343’s statement didn’t refute the claim that too much outsourcing caused problems....

He was replaced for this weekend by McLaren reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne, who won the GP2 title in 2015 after a fast, consistent year of racing. While that may augur well for McLaren, the spotlight is now, once again, on safety for F1 drivers, given the tragic death of Jules Bianchi in 2015 after 9 months in a coma. Bianchi, who died from complications of the injuries he sustained at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, was the first death in Formula One since that of Ayrton Senna in 1994....

While the next seven months will see eager anticipation among fans, our appetite for Halo 5 has already been whetted, thanks to the latest trailers for the same. The Xbox team at Microsoft tweeted the date along with a new hash tag #HUNTtheTRUTH. An abnormally high number of retweets followed, given that this franchise alone has raked in $3.38 billion for Microsoft. While the world awaits the arrival of Master Chief, live teasers for the game were greatly appreciated after they premiered on AMC last Sunday....

This information has arrived after Microsoft previously stated that Minecraft skins exclusive to a console would remain locked to their respective platforms despite the game’s cross-play-focused “Better Together” update. Regardless of these initial claims, it appears that mash-up packs will only be released on a case-by-case basis, as Minecraft’s Aubrey Norris took to Twitter to specify that only the Halo mash-up pack will eventually be arriving on all participating platforms as of this writing....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Kohei Uchimura’s clumsy slip on the horizontal bar not only shocked fans at the Rio Olympic Arena on Saturday but came to represent a horror day for Japan’s men’s gymnastics team in their efforts to dethrone China as Olympic champions.

Unlike other techno-entrepreneurs who have funded education projects in recent years, Unz, a bachelor, has no children of his own and, it seems, little connection to the communities whose education policies he seeks to overturn. He is an unknown on Silicon Valley’s glitzy charity circuit, where the digerati flex their increasingly influential philanthropic and political muscle. Perhaps strangest of all, in a place where “going public” and burning millions was until recently regarded as a sign of power, Unz appears to be almost pathologically frugal....

Posting on the 27th, he said this: Following that, on the 29th he left another message, stating that within a day, the world would see another attack on Sony, though he didn’t announce exactly what to expect - hinting that it would be a tiered-attack, and that this would only be the beginning:...

When comparing Halloween H20 to David Gordon Green’s new trilogy, which will conclude with Halloween Ends in October 2022, it seems fair to say that Laurie Strode’s trauma is perfectly examined in the film from the ’90s. RELATED: How Halloween Ends Can Overcome the Problems of Halloween Kills While Halloween (2018) does explore the aftermath of final girl trauma, it could be argued that Halloween H20, which is better than people think, actually does a much better job....

The popular Action Sack Playlist, which has always housed the strangest, weirdest and most out-of-the-box gamemodes is making a grand return, featuring more gamemodes than ever before split across several games offered in the Master Chief Collection bundle.
