On his Wednesday show, Hannity discussed the vacancy on the nation’s highest court created by the retirement of Associate Justice Stephen Breyer—which had been announced earlier that day—and the president’s previous pledge to nominate an African American woman. Former President Donald Trump made a similar commitment in September 2020 after the death of Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He said he would name a woman to succeed her before he had chosen a nominee....

The book, titled The Art and Soul of Dune, is written by executive producer Tanya Lapointe and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the upcoming blockbuster. Each chapter of the book will feature creative concepts, from visual effects creation to costume and environmental designs, while also having interviews with the director Denis Villeneuve and some of the cast members, including Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. Zimmer’s second score will be available to purchase and stream on the same release date of the film and the book (October 22)....

The man was taken to a hospital in Ningshan county, in northwestern Shannxi Province, and died. It was not clear when he was tested for hantavirus. His 29 fellow passengers were screened for hantavirus, with their results pending, Ningshan county government said according to the Global Times....

Muslims are expected to fast every day from dawn to sunset throughout Ramadan. “A key objective of fasting increase in taqwa (closeness to/consciousness of God), and to engender a sense of gratitude, self-discipline and self-improvement, at both an individual and community level, which Muslims are encouraged to continue throughout the year,” explains the Muslim Council of Britain, the U.K.’s biggest Islamic organization. Families and local communities are encouraged to share meals together when breaking their daily fast and to reach out to those who may be fasting alone during Ramadan....

The official Twitter page for the movie shared a clip from the upcoming horror flick while letting fans know that the sequel would be available to stream on Peacock as well as its original theatrical release plan. Halloween Kills was originally supposed to premiere in October 2020 but was pushback due to the COVID-19 pandemic. RELATED: Can Halloween Kills Live Up To The Michael Myers Legacy? This marks the latest news surrounding the uncertainty of theatrical releases as the pandemic continues to hurt the movie-going industry....

Unfortunately, little detail regarding 343’s plans for a custom game browser have yet to be revealed, so far. All that’s made clear in the latest Halo Waypoint developer update is that it’s in development and will be up for testing soon. More specifically, 343 will be rolling out test flights featuring custom game browsers to its Ring 1 and Ring 2 testers on February 18. As such, a first look at the scale of 343’s plans will be revealed soon....

[HTML1] We love a good surprise. That’s why hearing that 343 Industries was going to be releasing all ten multiplayer maps launching with Halo 4 was a bit of a disappointment. But with every new bit of information we’ve received, it seems a few insider tips and developer advice won’t go amiss. The next walkthrough video puts Complex under the microscope, blending medium-range combat with vehicular creativity. Check out the video now, assuming you hope to develop a strategy more nuanced than simply: ‘get in a Ghost, and hit everyone....

If there’s one thing that can’t be taken away from the Halo series, it is the massive production value Paramount secured in order to get Master Chief on streaming, and the latest behind-the-scenes footage from the show certainly highlights that, even with just a glimpse of what went behind making the third episode. Of course, last week’s “Emergence” started to show Halo’s true potential, but if fans of the games were hesitant about John-117 taking off his helmet in the premiere, this was the occasion that brought them naked Master Chief....

There are seven collectibles to find at the Excavation Site in Halo Infinite: x1 Mjolnir Armor Locker, x2 Spartan Cores, x1 Banished Audio Log, and x2 UNSC Audio Logs. They’re not the easiest to spot, as some are located quite a distance from the site itself. Players can use this Excavation Site collectible guide to assist them in their search. RELATED: Halo Infinite: All Ransom Keep Collectibles All Halo Infinite Excavation Site Collectibles Mjolnir Armor Locker The Halo Infinite Mjolnir Armor location should appear on the map once players have traveled close to it....

Fans of Halo Infinite have been requesting a permanent Slayer playlist for quite a while, with many expressing a belief that a 24/7 Slayer playlist would fix issues with the game’s existing multiplayer. Reportedly, Halo Infinite’s current multiplayer set-up is rather restrictive and tends to toss players into random match types. Players who are trying to get into Slayer mode might find it frustrating to be constantly placed in Capture The Flag or Oddball matches instead....

One of the most notable missing features for fans was the lack of a co-op campaign in Halo Infinite. Playing the main story of a Halo game with a buddy had been a feature of the franchise for well over a decade, and in Halo 3 it seemed the game almost expected the player to have an accompanying friend in their game due to the inclusion of the Arbiter as a secondary character....

The latest installment is the biggest release of the iconic series so far, with the game boasting the best of previous games across a vast, open world. The reason for bigger growth has been the way 343 Industries has made multi-player free-to-play. This has resulted in the entry of a lot of new players who have helped to make this game a lively one. There are issues with the game, but the community has been extremely useful in this regard....

It seems that the rumors stemmed from a fake Twitter account, which was later reported on by Kotaku. Kotaku then realized that the account was fake, and issued a statement clarifying that Halo Infinite is not really delayed. The official Xbox Twitter account replied to Kotaku’s tweet, as did the account for the Halo brand. With it being April Fools’ Day, though, fans should be on the lookout for more tricks like this....

The upcoming Halo Infinite looks to incorporate sandbox elements to the tried and tested first-person shooter mechanics which made the franchise an initial hit. There is plenty of speculation about how Halo Infinite can build on previous titles and the game seems to be meeting expectations by adding battle royale elements as well as free multiplayer. However, a Monster Energy promotion adds another layer as it is offering free double XP in the game when it releases....

For the unaware, Craig the Brute’s rise to fame started actually from a place of fan frustration with Halo Infinite’s initial gameplay trailer in 2020. Many were angered by the state of Halo Infinite’s graphics during that trailer, with textures that looked almost clay-like and rendering that some compared to Minecraft. During one snippet in particular, a rather dopey, almost sad-looking Brute appears up close in the frame, as Master Chief prepares to hit him, but quickly, fans saw the opportunity for a meme, naming him Craig, and grew attached to the oaf....

With Halo Infinite’s professional circuit in full swing following the release of the game in November, the world of Halo esports has already seen several major events throughout the first few months of the game’s life. Last weekend’s HCS Kansas City saw American esports team Sentinels capture its first victory at an HCS major event, beating out other iconic esports organizations like Cloud9 and FaZe Clan to take home the $140,000 prize....

Introducing a grappling mechanic into a video game can have a wide variety of effects. Not much at all can happen if it’s particularly limited in its physics and targets. Alternatively, it can be so overwhelmingly strong that an out-of-bounds trick is always moments away. According to a recent leak, Halo Infinite is erring on the strong side; purportedly, in current development builds, players can grapple anywhere, anything, and anyone....

Despite being relatively bare in terms of playable content, the Halo Infinite technical preview was the best thing that could happen to the game before its release. Plenty of fans were trepidatious after the game was slapped with a year-long delay, so they wanted to be able to play it and decide for themselves if it would be worth it in the end. As most who signed up for the Xbox Insider app can attest, Halo Infinite is shaping up to be something special....

As for the cast, we already knew that Orange is the New Black and The Wire star Pablo Schreiber is playing Master Chief, but now some other important roles have been cast as well. Cortana, Master Chief’s faithful AI companion and an iconic character from the video game series, will be played by British actress Natascha McElhone. McElhone, perhaps best known for her roles in Californication and Designated Survivor, will also be playing Dr....

Microsoft has been on a roll ever since they announced that gamers could purchase Xbox 360 games via the Xbox One, and even added three new games last week. If they can keep up this pace, Microsoft fans should be left very happy with the growing selection of backward compatible titles. In any event, Xbox rep Major Nelson has been happily doling out the good news, and tweeted confirmation about the new backward compatible titles earlier today....
