Voice message over email: Just as 2016 began, a lot of people started receiving emails with subject lines like ‘a new voice message’ or ‘an audio memo was missed’. The emails were created to make them look like legitimate automated mails from Whatsapp. Here’s what the message(s) look like: Do not be fooled by such emails. In fact, don’t even bother to ‘read’ the mail. They belong in trash. If you click on any part of this ‘message’, the hidden malware will launch itself and infect your device viz....
may also explain why Washington is so often out to lunch on the direction of American politics. One Republican–we’ll call him “Candidate A”–has among the highest support levels for President George W. Bush’s conservative agenda in the Senate. He championed the president’s 2001 tax cut, which many Republicans believe is the litmus test of today’s GOP. After initially voting to give Bush the authority to go to war, he became an early and outspoken critic of the Iraq policy, a view now endorsed not just by the American public and Democrats but by Republicans as well....
Laidlaw has long since retired from Valve, but having served as a key part of the development team for both Half-Life and its sequel, it’s reasonable to expect that he worked on Half-Life 3. It’s not entirely clear whether his take on Episode 3 was something he created for the studio, or just his own personal way of appeasing fans, but it certainly makes for interesting reading. The text changes most of the names of the people, places, and organizations involved — but Half-Life fans should be able to decipher what Laidlaw is talking about....
Could that change this week? Valve head honcho Gabe Newell and his team has successfully remained tight-lipped about the next Half-Life for years, only vaguely teasing HL3 while we ponder apparent leaked images from development. We know it’s coming eventually, we just don’t know when. According to a product listing of expected announcements found on the official Gamescom site however, was Dragon Age 3 and more interestingly, Half-Life 3. Whoops!...
Conservatives had to settle for a budget amendment that could mean Congress will use tax hikes, along with budget cuts, to balance the books. It should squeak by in the Senate. The House’s line-item veto, though, faces serious resistance from Republican senators who fear ceding too much power to the president. This one got sticky. Gingrich may have blown his political advantage by splitting the big anti-crime measure into six highly technical mini-bills to get it passed....
One person who has been especially impressed is Marlins special assistant Andre Dawson. Yes, that Andre Dawson, the power-hitting outfielder who smacked 438 home runs on his way to the Baseball Hall of Fame. MORE: Fan catches Stanton’s blast … barehanded | Mike Redmond fired; who replaces him? Dawson told MLB.com that the 6-6, 240-pound Stanton’s recent power display is unlike anything he’s ever seen. “It’s unimaginable,” Dawson said. “First of all, just the strength that he has....
The six-time All-Star hit 369 home runs during a 10-year career that lasted from 1946 to 1955. His best years came as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates, for whom he led the National League in homers seven straight years. He was named to the Sporting News MLB All-Star in 1947, 1949, 1950 and 1951 and finished in the top 10 in MVP voting five times. Kiner, who had brief stints with the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians, led the NL in OPS three times and finished his career with a slash line of ....
Cabin in the Woods In nearly a century of horror movies, there has been nothing else quite like Cabin in the Woods. Co-written and produced by Buffy the Vampire Slayer boss Joss Whedon, the movie seems to be a hot teens butchered in the woods story like The Evil Dead at first…until it is (no spoilers here) nothing like that at all. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Climax This one’s not for the seasick....
Cortana has maintained a lot of popularity, even despite becoming a villain in Halo 5. Cortana has also had a lot of interesting things to say, especially in the earlier games when Master Chief didn’t talk. So this list puts together some of the most memorable quotes of hers. 10 “Don’t make a girl a promise… if you know you can’t keep it.” One of the most iconic lines in the Halo series and a solid piece of advice for anyone....
It was previously announced that Halo: Reach will be coming to Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One free of charge and that still remains the plan. Previous owners of Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Game Pass owners will gain instant access to the game when it arrives December 3 without additional charge. For PC owners, Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be released game by game, starting with Halo: Reach on December 3....
Speaking to Red Bull, Holmes noted that the studio is “always looking for new ways to expand the Halo universe.” However, he went on to state quite plainly that his team at 343 Industries “do not have any plans to release future campaign content for Halo 5: Guardians.” The Halo series has only dabbled in campaign DLC once, for the ODST side-story to Halo 3. However, even that game grew in scale over the course of development, and was eventually released as a fully priced retail release that included a new selection of multiplayer maps....
As found in the the fifth Halo: The Master Chief Collection development update blog, ske7ch mentions how he spent a good deal of time addressing the loading issues in Halo 1 that particularly cropped up around co-op situations, and explained how he fixed the bug. In the process, the developer is able to give a shout out to the original Destiny by having added a sentence that reads, “Remember that Halo 1 co-op loading bug I mentioned earlier, then I said I fixed it?...
Posted to r/Halo by Reddit user u/mayonnaisexd_, the clip recreates the classic conversation between King Arthur and the Black Knight which ends in a sword fight and plenty of “flesh wounds.” The scene recreation was clearly inspired by the addition of medieval-looking armor sets to Halo: The Master Chief Collection for the start of Season 8. RELATED: Razer Reveals New Line of Halo Infinite Themed Gear The video uses audio straight from the movie to great effect and, although Halo doesn’t have dismemberment systems, still portrays the Black Knight’s loss of limbs in a clever and funny way....
The Universal Century timeline popularly depicts the rivalry between Earth Federation’s Amuro Ray and the mysterious masked Char Aznable, and how their separate ideals create an indelible impact to the future of the war. However, the Universal Century timeline also spawned multiple series, movies, and miniseries to accompany its setting. It also doesn’t help that the upcomingGundam: The Witch From Mercurystill doesn’t have an established premise, meaning it may also occur within the same timeline....
The Germany international joined the former English Premier League (EPL) champions earlier this year on a four-year deal for a fee in the region of 20 million pounds ($ 25.96m) from Dortmund. Gundogan missed the start of the season due to injury, but made his first appearance in the Champions League against German outfit Borussia Monchengladbach, before netting on his EPL debut against Bournemouth. The 25-year-old German international is hoping he can get on now with his career in England as he looks to continue his development....
The report said that Meiyappan, the son-in-law of current BCCI President N.Srinivasan, had fixed and placed bets on IPL matches in the 2013 edition of the tournament. The report, however, says that more investigation is required to come to a conclusion regarding the culpability or non-culpability of Rajasthan Royals owner Raj Kundra. The Mudgal Committee was formed in October 2013 after allegations of spot fixing and betting had rocked the IPL....
