That’s exactly what inspired Josh Straub to found DAGERS, otherwise known as the Disabled Accessibility for Gaming Entertainment Rating System. While playing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Straub found that his physical disability forced him to ask someone else to play through a sequence towards the end of the game. The scene requires the player to button-mash rapidly to open a series of doors. Straub’s disability affects his reflexes and the use of his hands, so unfortunately this prevented him from making progress in his favorite series....

Name: Davi Ramos Record: 9-2 overall; 3-1 UFC Division:Lightweight Team:Team Nogueira Getting attention as you’re working your way up the ranks in the lightweight division might be the most challenging venture in the UFC, as the weight class is packed with talent and there are multiple bouts featuring 155-pound fighters almost every weekend. Back when I used to write a “10 Reasons to Watch” piece prior to every event, one of the points always carried the subhead “This Week’s Important Lightweight Matchup” or something to that effect because even if there wasn’t a fight between ranked opponents on the card, there was another up-and-comer returning to action or two guys just outside the Top 15 squaring off, looking to take another step forward....

In a Gallup report, 61 percent of those in Europe asked disapproved of U.S. leadership—a higher amount than any of its previous surveys. In 2016, this was at 37 percent. The prior peak had been 2018, at 59 percent, and before that was 58 percent in 2008. Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment regarding the approval rating from Europe. Around 1,000 adults were asked in 135 nations worldwide to rate U....

A team of CIA operators from the agency’s Counterterrorist Center flew to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, in October, 1999. Code-named JAWBREAKER-5, they were led by the chief of the center’s bin Laden unit, known to his colleagues as Rich, a veteran of CIA postings in Algiers and elsewhere in the developing world. At an airfield where Afghanistan’s fledgling Northern Alliance maintained a clandestine logistics base, they boarded an old Soviet-made Mi-17 transport helicopter and swooped toward Afghanistan’s jagged, snow-draped northern peaks....

Over the last decade, the show has seamlessly had an ever-changing cast, including several high-profile celebrities. Singer Miley Cyrus played the role of bubblegum-pop icon Ashley O in the episode “Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too” as she launched an original song by the fictional artist on multiple music streaming platforms. Another noteworthy performance was by Jon Hamm in the show’s Christmas special called “White Christmas” where he played one of the two protagonists, a suspicious ex-tech worker....

The 33-year-old announced in the wake of the 1-0 DFB-Pokal win over Wolfsburg on Tuesday that he will hang up his boots at the end of the 2016-17 campaign, and has rejected the opportunity to become the club’s new sporting director. Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge did not see Lahm’s announcement coming and assumed both parties would make a joint statement, but he insisted the door will always be open to Lahm....

The Ukrainian fighter said he’s vacated the WBA cruiserweight title rather than fight challenger Denis Lebedev, in a video statement on the WBA’s Instagram feed Thursday. “That fight will not happen because I and my team have decided to move up to heavyweight,” Usyk said. “I’m vacating the belt. I don’t want to just have it, so let the guys fight for it.” It wasn’t immediately clear if he’s vacating the IBF, WBC, and WBO belts....

Since the events of August 11 and 12, 2017, legal action has resulted in life imprisonment and millions of dollars in restitution after members of Unite the Right—described as a white supremacist group consisting of the alt-right, Klansmen, neo-Confederates and neo-Nazis—took to the streets with antisemitic chants including “blood and soil” and “Jews will not replace us.” The rally was conducted, according to group leaders and participants, to protest the removal of a statue of former Confederate General Robert E....

Earlier in the year, United Airlines announced that it was eliminating change fees through the end of the year after “recognizing that flexibility is more important to our customers than ever.” The move today comes after Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, and Alaska Airlines announced plans to permanently eliminate costly change fees on international flights. Delta also announced earlier today that in addition to the permanent elimination of international change fees on flights originating in North America, it is extending its global fee waiver to March 31, 2021, meaning that any Delta fare bought between now and then (including basic economy fares) is fully flexible....

After the supposed victim told them she had been raped by Sen. Ted Kennedy’s nephew William Kennedy Smith, a full day went by before Palm Beach police came to ask questions. Then, on Easter Sunday, the police didn’t mention rape; they said they were investigating the theft of an urn, which hadn’t been reported stolen. When a friend of the family said he wasn’t sure where the senator and Smith were, the police left....

Brendan Rodgers’ side ended the top-flight campaign with a 2-0 home win over Hearts, which came courtesy of Leigh Griffiths and Stuart Armstrong goals.

The woman’s comments came the same day she swore out a misdemeanor arrest warrant for Allen Artis, a junior linebacker (per The (Raleigh) News & Observer) in Orange County, N.C.

Scherr admitted as much during a recent interview with the outlet VentureBeat, with the writer proclaiming that since the series as a whole is so enjoyable, Naughty Dog using Uncharted: The Lost Legacy as a launching pad for further entries in the franchise wouldn’t be too outlandish of an idea. However, the game’s scribe was quick to state that the developer currently has nothing set in stone when it comes to furthering the adventures of Chloe and Nadine....

Druckmann stated that in order to decide on which historical MacGuffin will be used in Uncharted 2, the Naughty Dog team started off by bringing “as many [ideas] to the table as possible”. In order to gauge the the potential of this list of MacGuffins, many were tested with concept art and “story exploration”. A number of ideas cut as a result of this approach, but one of the more interesting things that Naughty Dog initially looked into was Thor’s hammer, and how it was going to originally be the focus of Uncharted 2....

While dedicated servers do offer more stability than a P2P connection, there are some drawbacks to using them, such as the chance that they may be taken offline prematurely, a point Naughty Dog made sure to reiterate in discussion Uncharted 3: Though dedicated servers are an ideal solution for latency in online games, they can cost a small fortune to keep running, and after the player base begins to drop some games may see a closure of their online services....

It’s not too surprising to see Uncharted 4 grab the award, given its enormously positive critical reception upon its release, and the many plaudits it has received since. The sequel was named Game of the Year at SXSW 2017 just a few weeks ago, and it’s earned similar recognition from various other sources since it hit shelves in May 2016. Platformer Inside was the biggest winner of the night, picking up a total of four different awards....
