The Case For A Standalone Dragon Ball Super Video Game

Since the mid 80s with the release of Dragon Ball: Dragon Daihikyō, there have been a plethora of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z games, even some focused explicitly on Dragon Ball: GT, yet in all that time. there has never been a stand alone Dragon Ball Super game. This might have been understandable when the series first began airing in 2015, but it has now been five years since the series began and two years since it ended, and though Super Saiyan God forms are coming to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and other games, it isn’t enough....

The Cinderella Plant

Now this humble bush appears poised to become a global star. In recent years studies have shown that jatropha oil burns with one fifth the carbon emission of fossil fuels, making Africa’s hardscrabble ground a potentially fertile source of energy. Scientists estimate that if even a quarter of the continent’s arable land were plowed into jatropha plantations, output would surpass 20 million barrels a day. That would be good news for Europe, where the thirst for biodiesel is growing....

The Core Gameplay Loop Of Pikmin Bloom May Be Worse Than Pokemon Go

Trading in Pokemon GO’s collect-a-thon gameplay for a more streamlined, exercise-focused approach, Pikmin Bloom isn’t a bad game, but its core gameplay loop just isn’t as fun or engaging as Pokemon GO’s.

The Charnel House Trilogy Review Pixelated Horror Game Gets Mixed Results

The Story Satisfies, but Atmosphere Impresses in The Charnel House Trilogy Where The Charnel House Trilogy excels is in creating an atmosphere. In its opening chapter, “Inhale,” we’re introduced to the character of Alex, a modern, troubled woman with a strong interest in video games. By setting her up with that personality, it’s easier to identify with her—we’re also probably snarky on occasion, love video games, and avoid our problems. When things start to get a little weird (flashes of a strange figure, a missing package, a strange baggage handler on a train), it’s just enough to tell us the game is horror without making us hide under the covers....

The Biden Administration Gets By Through Shirking Responsibility Opinion

But according to the White House, nothing bad that has happened during Biden’s presidency is in any way his fault. Somehow, it is never Biden’s fault. The White House’s reaction to the runaway inflation we’ve witnessed in the past year takes the cake. We all remember how Biden and his allies insisted that inflation was transitory, and that it would quickly subside. The administration assured us that inflation had nothing to do with the multi-trillion dollar spending sprees it declared were necessary to combat the COVID-19 pandemic....

Then he just gave up. “This is so banal,” says Biljana Srbljanovic, a prominent playwright and critic of the regime....

But Blair is undeterred.
