As spotted in a recent article by ComicBook.com, the LinkedIn profile of Torfi Frans Olafsson, the Director of Franchise Development for Minecraft, suggests there may be some new things happening related to the blocky game. While nothing has been said specifically, it’s interesting that Olafsson has described their role in the company as being responsible for “conceiving new projects.” It doesn’t sound like much, but given that they’ve only been in the position since February, it suggests that there may be something, or multiple things, in the pipeline....

The report’s authors reel off a list of disconcerting—or impressive, depending on your worldview—list of stats. Approximately 10 percent of the world’s corporations reap 80 percent of global profits. Around 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions pumped into the Earth’s atmosphere each year can be attributed to 100 companies. The world pesticide market is essentially monopolized by four companies. This is a predictable feature of economic development, they say. A handful of TNCs will consolidate their position on the market until they come to own the lion’s share, and essentially monopolize the industry....

All of that acclaim has also translated into impressive sales figures for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This week, it was revealed that the title sold a highly impressive 4 million copies over the space of just two weeks. The game’s huge commercial success has already been made apparent on consoles, as The Witcher 3 topped the May PSN charts, beating the likes of Mortal Kombat X and Minecraft in the process....

Even in the most traditionally pro-American countries, surveys show a precipitous decline in U.S. standing. In Britain, according to a Pew poll, favorable opinion of the United States dropped from 83 percent in 2000 to 56 percent last year, and in Germany, the figure slid from 78 to just 37. Trust in Washington has also hit a record low. According to a survey for the German Marshall Fund, only 36 percent of Europeans now see U....

This belligerent rhetoric is explained by one simple fact. To Putin, a democratic Ukraine represents an existential threat to his new Russian imperialism—a political model centered around the cult of state and new Leviathan, rehabilitating Stalinism in domestic and foreign politics. This is why Russia has been so desperate to bring Ukraine back into its sphere of influence. But the reality is that Russia has lost the battle for Ukrainians’ hearts and minds....

During his interview on My Mom’s Basement podcast (h/t Fightful), The Undertaker was asked about his decision to make the ending of The Last Ride documentary the finalization of his run in wrestling and he revealed Vince McMahon’s reaction. The Undertaker reveals Vince McMahon’s negative reaction to WWE’s The Last Ride documentary The Undertaker revealed in the interview that he had been considering making his decision to step away from the ring final in The Last Ride documentary so as to take away the temptation, and how Vince McMahon reacted....

Use in the Hospital Heparin prevents the formation of blood clots. Some of the most common reasons heparin is used include: To prevent the formation of the blood clots that can form as a complication of staying in bed for prolonged periods of time: A low daily dose of heparin is typically injected under the skin to help prevent the formation of deep venous thromboses (DVT) in the veins of the legs, thighs, and pelvis....

But the 44-year-old Viola–the U.S. representative at the current Biennale and a MacArthur “genius” fellow–has changed all that. His David Lean-like sense of cinematic grandeur (and a technical proficiency a CNN engineer would envy) have allowed him to free video art from intellectual pretense and small-screen constriction. You step into one of his room-size projections and the subtle poetry of his sequences of images and soundtracks washes over you....

A man who really eats just one M&M? Christopher’s friends say that speaks volumes about him: his precision, his decorum, a sense that people are watching him-even if he says he doesn’t want them to. In a hectic, gobble-it-all-at-once world, say his admirers, there’s something reassuring about someone so deliberate and steady. Six months ago, as he offered Bill Clinton his resignation, it seemed unlikely that Christopher would end up with a secure perch as the senior wise man in the president’s cabinet–but he has....

My own methods of decoding the electorate are personal and anecdotal, based mainly on what I see and hear around me wherever I go and on the tube. But the impression has been bipartisan and constant. The Washington dinner-party story being, in the capital, roughly the equivalent of the cabbie story in New York, you may discount what follows; but it did seem to me relevant for its utter novelty....

When The Warlord recently sat down with SK Wrestling’s Lee Walker to discuss his wrestling career, the conversation naturally found it’s way to his move to World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1995. While The Warlord and his partner The Barbarian had found success and popularity with their overall look and style in WWE (then WWF), the same can not be said for the time they spent in WCW, as The Warlord was quick to highlight:...

RELATED: Horror Sequels That Outshine The Original For instance, how can a series possibly continue when all of the main characters have been killed off, and the main antagonist has also died about seven times? Sometimes the struggle to answer those kinds of questions can turn out some truly bizarre results, and when that’s the case for a horror franchise of even minor repute, sometimes, that is exactly when to keep on watching....

RELATED: The Witcher 3: 15 Pro Tips For Winning Fistfights The School of the Viper focuses on dexterity like the Cat school, on tactics and stealth similar to the Griffin school, and they hold few bonds with one another like the Wolf school. The Viper School is one of the few that appears in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, represented by Letho of Gulet, the Witcher who assassinated King Foltest....

The inclusion of realistic problems only adds to the story, making it more grounded. And the more grounded the story is, the richer the fantasy world can be. So far, the world of The Witcher is one that fans can’t get enough of. And part of that could be due to how realistic it is. The complexity of the fantasy world exists partially because it draws on real life. Sometimes reality is even stranger than fiction; therefore the best fiction has hints of reality....

As seen toward the end of Telltale Games’ video below, The Wolf Among Us Season 2 was not revealed outright, as the footage begins with the first season’s voice actors and developers poring over tweets from fans online who have been clamoring for a sequel. After that, the clip segues into some looks of the game interspersed with the title’s team discussing what made the first season a solid achievement and how the dedication of fans’ support led to Season 2 coming to pass....

It’s an understandable response, all things considered. Being a Wii U exclusive, not many got to play the game back when it first came out in 2013 and experience its gameplay gimmick of controlling a squad of cartoon superheroes and having them merge into giant weapons. Nevertheless, word of mouth among those who have has remained strong throughout the years, helped by Platinum expressing interest in bringing The Wonderful 101 to current-gen consoles on a number of occasions....

It is no secret that most fans hate Randy Orton, but is that a good thing? Doesn’t that mean he is being effective in his role as WWE’s resident villain? Is it him we really hate, or is it the gimmick he is portraying? I join most fans in the belief that Randy Orton is a very boring talent to watch. His matches just lack energy and exciting conclusions that make the match worth watching....

26-year-old England international Theo Walcott has been associated with the North London club since he moved from Southampton as the age of 16. The forward has scored 50 goals in 208 Premier League appearances so far and despite beginning his career as a winger, he has become a lot more versatile in his 10 years at the club and is often played by manager Arsene Wenger as the main striker these days....

Sanchez hinted at a move to Arsenal’s city rivals by giving an interview during the international break in which he said he wanted to stay in London and play for a team that aspired to winning titles. The Chile international is out of contract in 2018 and yet to sign a renewal, with his future uncertain after he was dropped by Wenger earlier this month. Wenger, however, took Sanchez’s comments as an indication he wants to remain with Arsenal and insists his club no longer need to sell their best players like they have had to in the past....
