Khajiit biology and lore is unique, even among the many men, mer, and beastfolk of The Elder Scrolls. In fact, this is exactly what helps them differ in-between each game, as many may not have noticed that the Khajiit of Skyrim look vastly different from those found in Morrowind and Oblivion. RELATED: Stormrite Interview: Kelechi Apakama Talks Skyrim-Inspired RPG, Kickstarter Goals The defining feature of Khajiit are, of course, their feline traits....

Snap’s Family Center adds new parental monitoring features, but with a twist. To start, both parent and child have to agree to enable it. Then, once it’s up and running, the parent can see who their kid is communicating with and when, but they can’t see the messages themselves. Also—coming soon—is a feature that lets parents view any new friends their kids add. It seems to be a pretty good balance between the interests of the involved parties....

This has led to the inception of the Indian Super League where the likes of the legendary Alessandro Del Piero and Roberto Carlos have featured. It just goes to show the increased love for the sport among fans. However, ISL and tournaments of similar ilk won’t produce the golden 11 that the nation so desperately seeks. For that to happen, the focus needs to be deeper—towards the roots, the children....

Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian had commonalities, but one in particular is unique to Team Ico, and that is how the human protagonists communicate with their animal sidekicks. There are a ton of video games with protagonists having animal sidekicks, from Dogmeat in Fallout to Epona in The Legend of Zelda. However, none emulated the communication between humans and animals quite as Team Ico has in Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian....

On the first drive where he made an appearance, Lance put the 49ers on the board with their first touchdown of the season, snapping off a 5-yard touchdown pass to Trent Sherfield. The following week? He rode the pine, sitting out the entirety of the Week 2 matchup against the Eagles. This week, San Francisco faces a stiff challenge, welcoming the Packers to Levi Stadium for their “Sunday Night Football” matchup....

Never has a grunt on the ground looked so presidential. “OK,” Lane Kiffin said softly as he walked into the one thing he has been able to avoid since he was fired at USC and hired at Alabama and helped this Tide team do things on offense no one imagined it could do with a forgotten fifth-year quarterback. It was time to face the demons — or in this instance, the media....

Speaker Power Handling Specs Speaker power handling specifications are usually meaningless. Typically, you just see a “maximum power” rating with no explanation as to how the spec was derived. Is it the maximum continuous level? Average level? Peak level? And for how long does it sustain, and with what type of material? These are also important questions. Different authorities released several, conflicting standards for measuring speaker power handling, published by the Audio Engineering Society, the Electronics Industries Association, and the International Electrotechnical Commission....

Ludwig Ahgren has been streaming for over a week straight after setting up a sub-a-thon event where each new sub to his channel would add 10 seconds to a countdown timer. The stream will end when the timer reaches zero, but thanks to overwhelming support from fans and curious onlookers drawn in by the story, Ludwig’s stream is still going strong with 45 hours left on the timer, though that number is holding at this time....

Richardson received a standing ovation when he signed Senate Bill 10 into law just after noon today amid popping camera shutters and shouts of support from a standing-room only crowd jammed into the cabinet room on the fourth floor of the state capitol building in Santa Fe. It isn’t universal health care or same-sex marriage, but cockfighting has been a hot button issue in New Mexico for years. Opponents of the sport—which is now only legal in Louisiana—called cockfighting the severest form of animal cruelty....

Many of us use Netflix and YouTube as replacements for the cable television packages we once had connected to our television sets. With online content becoming a commodity, that means we need to find ways to improve how we access that content. One of the biggest improvements for this could come with the AV1 codec. “Next-generation codecs like AV1, which provide a 60% average reduction in bandwidth over h.264, are critical to future video distribution sustainability,” Steven Tripsas, head of solution architecture at Zype, told us via email....

Here are the methods by which the Nintendo Switch currently allows users to add and request friends: Search with Friend Code - Sends a 1-way friend request to a user’s specific friend, who will see the request attached to the sender’s profile picture and Nintendo Account name. There is no option to attach a message. Search for Local Users - If both users have their Switch in the same location, this option allows them to pair their systems wirelessly and add each other as friends....

Killzone: Shadow Fall Killzone: Shadow Fall still looks fairly impressive, even by today’s standards. The game, largely, feels like a tech demo that was expanded out into a full game, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The levels are well-detailed, the character models are sharp, and everything feels incredibly well polished. In some ways, the game outshines what current FPS titles are doing. A few levels feature a semi-open structure, which makes the game feel more like a Far Cry game at some points than it does like the typical shooter....

Two groups of specific operators make up the attacking and defending sides. Attackers come equipped with gadgets like drones, shields, and breach charges to help them break through the defenders’ countermeasures. Defenders, on the other hand, have 45 seconds to reinforce walls, place traps, and modify the battlefield before the attackers go on the offensive. While Rainbow Six Siege is fairly balanced, the nature of the game tends to favor the defenders over the attackers for a few reasons....

To that point, Microsoft and 343 Industries have further detailed the ranking system in Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and as it turns out very little has changed. The system from Halo 2 will be copied whole cloth into MCC and will influence players’ opponents from match to match. For those who might remember, Halo 2 used a system that increased, or decreased, a player’s XP based on whether they won or loss....

But building a game around large battles of human players and bots makes the design process harder, not easier. For instance: when adding a blend of wall-running soldiers to a collection of high-speed mechs, do classic multiplayer game types still work properly? According to the studio’s community manager, trial and error has produced some surprising results. Speaking with Polygon, Respawn’s Abbie Heppe explained that it’s far too early to name each and every possible game type or variation that Titanfall will support, since the programmers are still experimenting with that very issue....

Well, for starters, he never intended for his film to hit the big time. Rodriguez had been interested in making movies since he was a kid. In college, he shot what Texas Monthly called “his first real movie”, the student film Bedhead. It cost just $800 to make; his family and friends were the crew. After Bedhead became a minor success at film festivals, he figured he could make a feature film the same way....

Like most foreign-policy insiders, Rumsfeld was aware that Saddam was a murderous thug who supported terrorists and was trying to build a nuclear weapon. (The Israelis had already bombed Iraq’s nuclear reactor at Osirak.) But at the time, America’s big worry was Iran, not Iraq. The Reagan administration feared that the Iranian revolutionaries who had overthrown the shah (and taken hostage American diplomats for 444 days in 1979-81) would overrun the Middle East and its vital oilfields....

While Barty has replaced Williams at the top of women’s tennis in recent years, it was the American who played a telling role in ensuring the Aussie got there. Barty famously walked away from tennis in 2014 to pursue a cricket career but after 15 months was eventually lured back to the court. AUSTRALIAN OPEN: How Barty defeated American challenger Collins Among the reasons for her return, an encouraging text from Williams seems like it may have played some part....

But if you’re a T-Mobile user, you might have escaped the surge of bots. That’s because T-Mobile claims to have blocked 21 billion spam calls in 2021 alone. So, how did they manage such a magnificent feat, and should your friends expect the same standard from their mobile service providers anytime soon? T-Mobile’s ScamShield Does All the Magic ScamShield is a service by T-Mobile that was released in 2020. It’s not a paid or opt-in plan....

Call of Duty: Warzone’s Plunder game mode will launch alongside Battle Royale on Tuesday, March 10, and it will group players into teams of three. As previously mentioned, these teams will be working to collect Cash, which can be found across Warzone’s map, can be stolen by killing opponents, and can be earned by completing in-game contracts, and the squad that secures the most Cash after 30 minutes wins....
