Sometimes, a character’s actions are so heinous that where they came from or what their side of the story is, doesn’t make a difference. That’s how it feels with Disney’s upcoming film Cruella. While the film looks well done and visually very attractive, it doesn’t seem likely that they could be true to the character while still keeping audiences engaged in what happens to Cruella de Vil....

In an update to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI), researchers with the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) said cryptocurrency mining in China has nearly disappeared after previously accounting for about 75 percent of the global share in September 2019.

There’s skill trees, gear, special resources and various effects that help each Avenger in battle. All of these are customizable, and players can tailor their fighting to certain aspects of each character so that no player has the same experience. With the Avengers being a multi-billion dollar IP, there’s inevitably going to be casual, less-seasoned gamers who may feel overwhelmed by everything in Marvel’s Avengers, but as Lauryn Ash, game designer at Crystal Dynamics told Newsweek they have accounted for that, and gamers should refer to the studio’s previous titles as an example....

There’s no doubt that like myself, others would like to see this game come to the states on either PC or console form....
