RELATED: Lesser Known Evil NPCs In The Witcher 3 As such, there are plenty of morally ambiguous, ruthless, or downright evil characters in The Witcher games. Considering how much damage they do or their motives, some characters’ ruthless actions stand out in comparison to others. Despite the damage they did to the world or the heroes, the fans still liked to learn more about them thanks to the way their stories were written....
Much of the on-set photos and trailer footage so far has focused almost exclusively on Geralt, Yen, and Ciri, as has information released about the show. It’s clear that the show is following source material from the early Witcher novels, but only now are fans getting an idea of what that means for fan-favorite side-characters.

The 19-year-old signed a six-year contract to make the switch across the Spanish capital for a reported fee of €24million ahead of the new season, leaving his brother Lucas behind at Atleti. Hernandez said the chance to learn from Brazilian Marcelo was among the reasons behind his decision to make the move to the Santiago Bernabeu. “He’s the best wing-back in the world and what I’m going to do is work hard, follow his lead and try to get some minutes,” Hernandez said at his unveiling on Monday....
Bundesliga champions Bayern began their campaign with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Red Star Belgrade in Group B, while Spurs – runners up last season – drew 2-2 at Olympiacos. Lewandowski, who has started 2019-20 in superb form, scored Bayern’s second against Red Star, while Kane opened the scoring for Tottenham from the penalty spot in Greece. Kane has six goals in all competitions this season compared to Lewandowski’s 11, but Kovac did not hold back in his praise of Tottenham’s talisman, insisting he is on the same level as Bayern’s number nine....
The War of the Worlds has kept a relatively low profile, but with one-of-a-kind visuals and narration by Patrick Stewart it’s going to be noticed by science fiction fans sooner rather than later. It’s certainly taking its inspiration from a respectable source, but our first impressions of the game at E3 2011 left something to be desired. While gameplay that first appears simplistic can offer a deep experience over time (just take a look at Limbo, Bastion, or even Plants vs....
Telltale has come under fire in the past for overly long waits in between the release of installments in its episodic game series, but it now looks like the studio has figured out a schedule where new episodes of The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead are released approximately every two months, meaning that there’s one new episode of each series every few weeks. The most recent release was ‘In Harm’s Way,’ the third episode of The Walking Dead season 2, which means that next up is ‘In Sheep’s Clothing,’ the penultimate episode of The Wolf Among Us....
Dance with Devils is a supernatural romance reverse harem musical staring a female human protagonist named Ritsuka, who has found herself thrust into a world of devils and vampires. While she is having her first encounters with these supernatural beings, her mother is kidnaped, and her brother comes home to support her. However, it’s evident even her brother is hiding information from her, leaving her with nobody left to trust, while slowly falling in love with her supernatural schoolmates....
Now, let’s try substituting another name in place of Third World countries. How about the U.S. real-estate industry? To get more specific, how about Donald Trump? It’s not too farfetched to draw parallels between the banks’ lending practices in those countries in the 1970s and their relationship with Trump and other developers a decade later. Rolling in deposits and caught up in the go-go 1980s, the banks poured billions into real-estate loans, feeding a frenzy of construction and acquisition....
Fifteen years after Mikhail Gorbachev made his first moves toward reform, there’s a widespread belief that Russia is developing into a normal market economy. What’s really happening is that Moscow is becoming a pretty typical European capital, while the rest of the nation waits in vain for real change. Other oases of urban prosperity include St. Petersburg, but only Moscow has been able to exploit its position as the traditional center of all Russian worlds to build a modern, service economy....
The Undertaker on why it was so important to protect his character The Undertaker was recently interviewed by Bar Stool Sports to promote the WWE 2k Battlegrounds video game. During the interview, The Undertaker, who is famous for protecting his character through the years, was asked about why he felt it was so important for him to protect kayfabe: The Undertaker also briefly joked about The Rock’s success in films before continuing to speak about why it was important for him to protect kayfabe and his character:...
Now Donat and other grieving online-grocery fans need weep no more–assuming they live in the correct ZIP codes. Earlier this year brick-and-mortar old-timers Safeway and Albertsons quietly launched online-shopping test programs in the Bay Area and other West Coast markets, including Portland, Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Diego and Seattle (where Albertsons has been experimenting since 1999). The markets were selected to take advantage of the loyal online-grocery shoppers left high and dry when Webvan and Home-grocer, a Seattle competitor it acquired in 2000, collapsed....
Now with Eden Hazard’s transfer to Real Madrid, Sarri’s polarizing coaching style and not to forget the potential transfer ban that might be enforced, it is key for Chelsea to make the right decisions to avoid further drama at the club. Here’s what Chelsea need to do in the upcoming summer: Hiring a Sporting Director In the past few years, Chelsea has splashed a lot of money in efforts to buy players, a few players not worth the price tag....
Like so much on the Internet, Web classes stumbled after being hailed as the next big thing in the late 1990s. The first movers, like the London School of Economics’ Fathom or NYU Online, failed–losing hundreds of millions of dollars– because students in the West prefer to attend class (and parties) on a real campus. But online or “distance” learning is now an established and rapidly growing industry, mainly in Asia and the developing world....
Consider: for the past 10 years the world’s most powerful nation has been led by white, Southern, churchgoing evangelical Protestants–Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Each opted to attend the church of his wife’s choice. And in both cases that choice was Methodist. But in religion–as in politics–the two presidents could not be less alike. For Clinton, hymn-singing and Gospel preaching are performance arts, and Sunday in the White House wasn’t Sunday without a stroll down the street, Bible in hand, for an hour of gregarious fellowship....
That line, however, also represents the most common trajectory of many colonialism narratives: to present indigenous populations as sympathetic, invading populations as oppressive, and protagonists as agents of reconciliation or reclamation. As more attention is drawn to the harm that colonialism does, it is rare to find a modern story about colonialism that uplifts the colonizers and vilifies the colonized — but such is the framing in The Witcher books, which present the eradication of the elves with qualified criticism....
Once players encounter a cursed creature, they will find all its details and information in the bestiary alongside other beasts, which can then be consulted later. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt consulting the bestiary is essential for players to use the best strategy and gain advantages, which is especially pertinent when facing off against a rare cursed creature. RELATED: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: A Deep Dive Into Beasts...
The first episode of The Witcher Netflix series did a decent enough job of introducing viewers to the fantastical world of the “Continent,” particularly when it came to developing the character of Geralt of Rivia and making clear his motivations. The other running story thread throughout The Witcher Episode 1 was all about Princess Cirilla and the fall of Cintra, and that stuff didn’t land quite as well. Unfortunately, the second episode of The Witcher throws a third plot line into the mix, meaning we spend even less time with Geralt when compared to the first episode....
Written on the YouTube caption was the phrase: “the White Wolf [that’s Geralt] takes Halloween as a personal challenge. But keep your eyes peeled for a few sweet treats… you won’t want to miss what’s hidden.” It’s certainly true: there are two quick flashes of new scenes in the footage that audiences will miss if they aren’t paying close attention. The first is some sort of strange clump of bloody, moving, grass or hay with an eyeball sticking out, and the second is three skeletons dressed in what seems to be some kind of lace and jewelry....
The franchise has long relied on the popularity and sheer quality of the first film, the original Jurassic Park. Not all the sequels have been critical successes, though, as many of struggled to get anywhere near the first. Despite a general interest from audiences, who keep returning despite the middling quality of some of the sequels, it’s clear that the drop-off in quality has in some ways affected the way public view the franchise....
Luckily for Yabe, her resourceful mom managed to track down a refuge–one of Japan’s rare alternative schools. Most children in the country aren’t so fortunate. In recent months the media have been rife with gruesome stories about school-age suicides, most of them apparent responses to an epidemic of bullying. In the eyes of many Japanese, that scandal merely mirrors the country’s lingering education crisis. Experts say standardized-test scores are falling, and so is the motivation to learn among secondary-school students....
