“Now, more than ever, we need a way to think about the future with hopefulness and flexibility,” Rachel Goslins, director of the Smithsonian’s AIB, where the “FUTURES” exhibit will be staged, tells Newsweek. “To be able to imagine the future we want, not just the future we fear.” “With the tumultuous events of the last couple years, it’s even more important to be able to imagine a future which is healthy, equitable and sustainable, so we can chart a course toward that future....

Geeked Week is a five-day virtual event that runs from June 6 to June 10 and celebrates Netflix’s genre entertainment with cast interviews, sneak peeks, and teaser trailers from various series, films, and games. On this occasion, the streamer teased three separate upcoming horror series: Wednesday from Burton, The Midnight Club from Flanagan, and Cabinet of Curiosities from del Toro.

The main issue with the whole concept is that demanding the player to perform precise jumps is somewhat disorienting when it isn’t always clear where the in-game character’s feet will land. Compare this to 3D platformers like Super Mario 64, in which the perspective change allows the player to properly gauge factors like distance and depth, whereas in first person, that is a bit more challenging due to the more restricted viewpoint....

The newly announced Serum fits squarely into the horror camp. The first release from freshman studio Game Island, it thrusts players into a world of overgrown ruins, bizarre mutations, and glowing green drugs. Horror and survival game fans got their first look at this upcoming title in a brief announcement trailer earlier today. And while the announcement trailer is only 39 seconds long, it offers a few glimpses of Serum’s setting and gameplay....

Post-release patches offer a way for developers to improve upon a game even after its release. Bugs and other in-game issues can slip through the development process and make it into the final build, leading to players discovering these issues for themselves. By repairing these hitches, which can range from small graphical glitches to game-breaking freezes, developers can ameliorate problems that may otherwise detract from a game’s quality.

The PittCoVacc, a patch the size of a fingerprint covered in 400 tiny needles, triggered the creation of antibodies against the new coronavirus in mice, according to the authors of the paper published in the journal EBioMedicine. The antibodies were created “as early as 2 weeks after immunization,” the team based at the University of Pittsburgh wrote. The authors said “it is still early to predict whether humans immunized with these vaccine candidates will have similar responses” and be protected from the new coronavirus, but their work demonstrates that a vaccine candidate can be quickly created....

New Delhi, Oct 2 (PTI) Senior off-spinner Harbhajan Singh Tuesday said that he is finding it “difficult to understand” the parameters used by the MSK Prasad-led selection committee for picking the national squad. After spending time on the bench for six consecutive Test matches against Afghanistan and England, the selectors dropped Karun Nair for the West Indies Test series. “This is a mystery that needs to be solved. How can a person sitting on the bench for three months become so bad that he is not good enough to remain in the squad,” Harbhajan questioned the selection committee’s decision during an interaction with PTI....

Ville Pokka and Hannes Bjorninen each scored a goal and Harri Sateri shut out ROC over the final two periods Saturday night to give Finland a 2-1 win. Finland ended the men’s tournament with a perfect 7-0 record. Mikhail Grigorenko scored the lone goal for ROC in the first period, but overall, scoring opportunities were hard to find. ROC settled for the silver medal after capturing the gold medal at the 2018 Olympics with a 4-3 overtime win over Germany....

The DLC’s trailer, which released on Nintendo’s YouTube channel earlier today, introduces fans to a whole new world in Intelligent System’s smash-hit tactical RPG on the Switch through a side story called “Cindered Shadows” that will be released on February 12, 2020. RELATED: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Adding New Fire Emblem Stage That is, they are introduced to a literal whole new explorable hub world called the Abyss, where a secret faction of Fódlan’s outcasts have created a fourth house called the Ashen Wolves unbeknown to anyone during the four potential story paths already available in Fire Emblem: Three Houses....

Battle Tips Players will notice that there will be a lot more kinds of enemies in this battle; they will need to start keeping an eye on what kinds of units go up against what kinds of units and also keep track of unit types. In this battle, players will see sword, axe, and lance users, martial arts and ranged users, armored units and magic users, and Fire Emblem unit types like backup....

While at this point the fact that Fire Emblem Heroes is the more successful game won’t be shocking to those who have followed the mobile gaming market closely, the massive discrepancy between downloads is unexpected. Both titles are free downloads with microtransactions, and both Fire Emblem Heroes and Super Mario Run use an in-game store to facilitate players and police their ability to progress through each game. The differences in how each game goes about trying to part gamers with their money might be the key, however....

RELATED: The Longest First-Party Nintendo Switch Games Given how time-consuming some of the series’ earlier installments can be though, some may want to find out how long Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is before they commit to playing it. The good news is that it’s nowhere near as long as some of its predecessors, but still has more than enough content to provide excellent value for money. The fact that there are three separate paths for players to choose from also provides a healthy dose of replayability and should be perfect for those looking to squeeze every last drop of value from their purchase....

The branching paths in Fire Emblem: Three Houses allowed Intelligent Systems to explore numerous aspects of its universe. Dimitri’s Azure Moon route looks at how the Adrestian Empire destabilizes the continent of Fodlan, meanwhile Claude’s Verdant Wind route delves deeper into an evil organization called Those Who Slither in the Dark. Three Hopes will replicate that structure with three story paths, and a recent look at the returning Blue Lions suggests the title will have a huge cast of fighters....

RELATED: Fire Emblem: Three Houses: The Most Popular Couples What’s unique about the path in Three Hopes is that it has already shown off new elements to the story that were nowhere to be seen in Three Houses, meaning the story could veer wildly off the path from the originals. It’s a risky, yet interesting take on one of the most popular JRPGs of the last decade. Whether or not this is good remains to be seen, but the fanbase is already rife with speculation....

RELATED: Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes - How Long to Beat and Chapter List It’s sort of like what this developer did for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity in 2020. At first, it seemed like that was a prequel to Breath of the Wild but that was not 100% the truth. Getting into it now would spoil things. So, that’s one thing to know before starting Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes but there are a lot more useful tips on the way....

Erik Zuma, 31, who is based at the fire station on 44th Street and Ashland Avenue, is still responding to calls, according to CBS 2. Zuma works as a firefighter-emergency medical technician, specializing in calls to the Chicago Fire Department from people who need medical help. According to a court document obtained by CBS, he has been charged with five felony counts, including one count of rape. According to the document, the alleged rape in February was captured on a security camera....

While it did demonstrate that the core experience of Killzone has been improved, the beta was not without its faults. Hoping to keep the multiplayer experience evolving, Guerrilla has put together a list of the most common complaints from gamers and, from there, created a patch that will fix those issues as well as some others. Most of these fixes are meant to streamline the multiplayer for the gamer — reducing cool down times, eliminating clipping issues, allowing players to find matches faster — while others will go unnoticed but will add little tweaks here and there....

[HTML1] When Cliff Bleszinski announced his departure from Epic Games few expected the prolific Gears of Wars creator would stay away from games for long. Sure, Cliffy B had earned a brief respite from games development, but someone as talented as this was unlikely to call it quits altogether. Instead, most expected that Bleszinski would cut out on his own with a new studio, a new project, and a new team....
