The Mortal Kombat 11 reveal at The Game Awards in 2018 was unexpected, as its trailer was spliced into the nominees for the Best Sports/Racing Game. However, NetherRealm Studios won’t be repeating that same trick for its next game during the 2022 show.4 years ago at the Game Awards we managed to pull off a surprise announcement of MK11, which turned out great.Perhaps too great, as many assumed we’d repeat that trick for our next game.Thank you for the anticipation, but we’re not ready to announce the next NRS game yet. pic.twitter.com/QMXsuEPchR— Ed Boon (@noobde) December 2, 2022Ed Boon, series co-creator…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Killer Storm? While I was looking for an idea for the fourth Fin Fleming Scuba Diving book, I was scrolling through old pictures of dive trips for inspiration. I came across an old photo of one of the divemasters at a resort we’d stayed at. He’d been securing the boats ahead of the storm, but the storm had caught up to him. He was running back from the pier, racing to the shore, with the storm nipping at his heels. Instantly, I said “That’s Fin trying to outrace the…
The second season of the hit Disney+ series Loki landed another TV star familiar to fans of genre fare: Game of Thrones alum Kate Dickie.

Astronomers estimate that roughly 85% of all the matter in the universe is dark matter, meaning only 15% of all matter is normal matter. Accounting for dark energy, the name astronomers give to the accelerated expansion of the universe, dark matter makes up roughly 27% of all the mass energy in the cosmos, according to CERN (opens in new tab) (the European Organization for Nuclear Research).Astronomers have a variety of tools to measure the total amount of matter in the universe and compare that to the amount of “normal” (also called “baryonic”) matter. The simplest technique is to compare two…
I’ve worked in fashion for 10 years, and people always ask me the same question: What have you been buying recently? No matter who’s asking (my mom, my friends, my boyfriend with trepidation), they usually expect me to say something outlandish, wild or extravagant. But much to their surprise, I’ve really started to hone my wardrobe rather than endlessly add to it. Recently, I’ve realised that creating a considered capsule of elevated staples that transcend seasons and seasonal trends is the smarter, more mature way to shop. So Mum, if you’re reading, here’s your answer…One brand I go back to…

Reducing redundant information to find simplifying patterns in data sets and complex networks is a scientific challenge in many knowledge fields. Moreover, detecting the dimensionality of the data is still a hard-to-solve problem. An article published in the journal Nature Communications presents a method to infer the dimensionality of complex networks through the application of hyperbolic geometrics, which capture the complexity of relational structures of the real world in many diverse domains. Among the authors of the study are the researchers M. Ángeles Serrano and Marián Boguñá, from the Faculty of Physics and the Institute of Complex Systems of the…

For some reason, I’ve interpreted the umbrella of popular science books to mean speculative books with only a whisper of science in them. A better term, I thought, would be accessible science because these books aren’t fluff, but they aren’t hefty science journals, either. Popular science books are written for the average person. They are usually written by scientists who study the topic, but can also be written by science journalists or other writers who find themselves drawn to a particular facet of the world. I’ve come to love popular science books over the last few years, and it’s given…

Kris Wu has been sentenced to 13 years in prison by a Beijing court for charges that include the rape of three women, The Associated Press reports. The Chaoyang District court ruled that the Chinese Canadian pop star and actor, as well as others implicated in the case, supplied three women with alcohol in 2020 and raped them when they could no longer consent. Most of the 13-year sentence stems from that incident, but he also received one year and 10 months for a 2018 event where he “assembled a crowd” and assaulted two women they got drunk.Wu will be…
Disney first announced plans to close one of its signature Disneyland and Walt Disney World attractions, Splash Mountain, back in the summer of 2020.
