Actually, MultiVersus‘ perk system is one of those mechanics that really lets you appreciate how much work went into this game. It’s the kind of elaborate character-building system that allows dedicated players to optimize their chosen fighters. Of course, it can also be a somewhat complicated system that could easily confuse those who are simply looking for the good time that MultiVersus otherwise provides. It is with both those groups in mind that we offer a brief look at some of the current best perks and character builds in MultiVersus....

“The strong spirit…of a successor.” A major problem that can arise when anime enter “Tournament Arcs” is the fatigue that sets in from constant action that’s manufactured and doesn’t have any actual buildup or emotional connection between the fighters. My Hero Academia is at least able to keep things relatively fresh due to the wildly unique nature of Quirks, but the episodes in this season have already highlighted that there is considerable overlap between some of these abilities....

Nancy Drew Season 2 Episode 8 If any character on Nancy Drew was going to turn out to have a secret low-rent scammer husband it was always going to be Bess Marvin. Even though we’re well into the series’ second season, she’s still the character we know the least about – and that’s counting Ace, whose last name we still don’t even know. (And truly, if it isn’t Hardy, I don’t want to hear it....

netstat (network statistics) is a command-line tool that displays network connections (both incoming and outgoing), routing tables, and a number of network interface statistics. It is available on Linux, Unix-like, and Windows operating systems. netstat is powerful and can be a handy tool to troubleshoot network-related issues and verify connection statistics. If you type netstat -help, you will get the following usage guidelines. Let me show you some of the examples of the command....

So we’ve taken on the holiday cheer required for breaking down their new original Christmas movies, from the fun and cheesy romances to the familial fairy tales, and everything in between. Fan favorite franchise The Princess Switch returns as well as a buzzy new romance starring Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes. Thankfully there’s only one real stinker in the lot, but if you like to keep your on-screen confections sweet, there are a couple that might be dark enough to be worth skipping....

Now to be clear, it’s pretty much impossible to release an MMO or any game of similar size without a healthy amount of bugs. There’s a lot to be said about how many performance issues we’ve learned to put up with at a time when Early Access development strategies are being employed by a growing number of major studios supposedly working on “complete” retail releases, but there’s a degree to which you have to expect a game like this to launch with various bugs, glitches, and technical shortcomings....

One of the many ways to monetize a blog, news site, community, etc. is to show ads. There are hundreds of ad network, and some of the popular ones you might have heard about are Google Adsense, Yahoo (Media.net), Chitika, etc. They are giant, and they need a massive cut from your site’s earning to maintain their technology infrastructure, support, etc. In the end, you get disappointed with the earnings if traffic is not much....

Those people couldn’t be more wrong. Not about the host’s weird jokes, the esoteric questions – which often are in another language, especially if it boasts its own computer keyboard configuration or shares homophones with English words depictable in cartoon form. Nor are they wrong about the gloriously nerdy contestants, that’s all clearly true. (During lockdown, by the way, we all cut our own hair and it only went to prove that this country is very much not sick of experts....

Only Murders in the Building Season 2 Episode 4 Only Murders in the Building combines a lot of different genres to make it the unique program we’ve come to love and enjoy over the last year. It’s somehow an enthralling mystery show, while also poking fun at the tropes and themes that make up that kind of entertainment. It’s a solid drama, fleshing out its main characters and drawing us closer to their lives, making our investment worth it when the crime is solved at the end of the season....

“The Hour of The Wolf” marks the halfway point in Outlander Season 6. It’s a turning point in both the political atmosphere, and also in the personal lives of the characters. Ian finally explains what happened when he lived with the Mohawk. Jamie realizes that his job as Indian Agent may not be enough to prevent what Brianna and Claire told him about the future. This episode is also super special in Outlander canon as it is the first to be directed by a Black woman: Christiana Ebohon-Green....

Actually, the most interesting thing about Outriders‘ classes isn’t the many ways that one has an advantage over the other but the surprising ways that different compositions offer different gameplay experiences. This really is the kind of game where your class choice should be based on your preferences first and their power level second. If you’re looking for the best of the best, though, or just a little more information on how the game’s various classes perform, then here’s an overview of how Outriders‘ various classes measure up in solo and multiplayer....

While the jury is still out on Overwatch 2, early previews of the game’s recent Closed Alpha have confirmed a number of Hero alterations that will likely change the way you look at your favorite (and least favorite) characters. Even though Overwatch 2‘s new Hero characters have been stealing much of the attention so far, it’s really the various buffs, nerfs, and reworks to the game’s existing roster of Heroes that will likely have the biggest impact on the game in its earliest days....

While there’s much we don’t know about the story of Paddington 3, we do know that director Paul King, who spearheaded the first two films in the series, will not be returning in that chief creative role. King is currently busy directing a Willy Wonka origin story for Warner Bros. (which doesn’t sound as important, but whatever), but will still act as an executive producer and will write the story for Paddington 3 alongside previous collaborators Simon Farnaby and Mark Burton....

It’s Ada’s iconic line, says Rundle – outrageous and funny and the first in a series of excellent threats she issues in Peaky Blinders. Another comes in season four when she terrifies a pub landlord who initially mistakes her for just another unaccompanied woman, and who fails to provide ice for her whiskey. Ada directs her gaze at him and deadpans, “Next time, have ice. This pub’s come to our attention for its lack of ice....

Peaky Blinders is a designer’s dream, says Nicole Northridge. The gangster drama’s visual style, mythological swagger and love of symbolism mean that when it comes to designing its sets, “you can absolutely go to town. You can make it abstract, almost like a graphic novel.” The period backdrops and locations aren’t only laboriously researched by production designer Northridge and her art team in collaboration with director Anthony Byrne, but also woven with symbolic story references....

While the extremely low-budget Plan 9 from Outer Space is renowned as the worst film ever made, Pink Flamingos has a street rep as the raunchiest. Ed Wood’s sci-fi horror mashup cost $60,000 to make, which by 1956 standards is still five times the budget Waters spent. And this from an NYU film school reject who stole textbooks and sold them back to the college bookstore, and went to sleazy exploitation movies more often than going to class....

While PlayStation hasn’t formally attended E3 since 2018, the company has presented a series of digital showcase events in the years since then. Those events give PlayStation gamers more chances to come together and grab a sneak peek at some of Sony’s biggest upcoming games, but each digital showcase is usually smaller than a traditional E3 presentation of years gone by. Indeed, the PlayStation team is going out of their way to tell people that their June 2022 State of Play broadcast will likely not feature some of the major announcements fans are waiting for....

PM and RM play a crucial role in achieving this goal if a company wants to deliver a project on time and within budget. Both functions are essential for the successful delivery of the engagement. The PM works on specific projects while RM performs at the business unit level. The project manager ensures project delivery within a stipulated time frame and in the budget, while RM ensures the right resources are allocated to projects....

Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 may have taken place in a whole new future for our characters and for us, but it wasn’t afraid to call back to franchise history. One of the most delightful ways we saw this happen in Season 3 was in the discussion of the all important Star Trek captain catchphrase. In “Sanctuary,” Captain Saru and Tilly surreptitiously discuss “the other matter” of figuring out what he should say whenever it’s time to seem like a cool and in control Starfleet captain....

In 1999, Channel 4 premiered a short-lived comedy drama chronicling the lives of three young gay men in Manchester. Queer as Folk, in typical Channel 4 fashion, wasn’t a show that teetered on the edge of social acceptability, it hit screens with all the subtlety of a queen’s grand entrance on RuPaul’s Drag Race and a resounding chant of ‘we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it’. Even gay people switched on the TV and were shocked....
