RELATED: Best Anime Short Films, Ranked There’s a lot of anime out there that’s adorable and heartwarming with a profound message, it’s just not the stuff that fans screencap for the shock value. Some entire anime studios have perfected the accessible yet mature side of the anime world, and there’s plenty to choose from when it’s time for family movie night. 6 Astro-Boy (1983-1992) There’s a reason that this character’s popularity extends well beyond the anime series that most fans saw back in the ’80s....

But looking back at this format war with fresh, futuristic eyes, you can ask the question again: which one wins in Betamax vs. VHS? Let’s take a look. What Was the Betamax vs. VHS Fight About? Launched less than a year apart in the US, Betamax and VHS became rivals in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Betamax was created by Sony in 1975 and advertised as a way to watch videos on demand and record programs straight off your TV....

The ESRB has issued ratings for two separate collections of Bethesda-published games. The first is Dishonored & Prey: The Arkane Collection, and the second is the Wolfenstein Alt History Collection. The Xbox Series consoles are the only platforms listed for either game, suggesting that they will be Xbox-exclusive, and we know that four games will be included in each collection. Specific titles are mentioned in the ESRB listings, but it’s easy to make a guess as to which games will be featured....

This offer from Bethesda will allow players to relive the first two Fallout games released in the 90’s back when the franchise was developed by Black Isle Studios. Also, Fallout Tactics is available to download, which follows the Brotherhood of Steel, and is considered as a separate game, as it does not follow the events of the first two Fallout games. Bethesda’s decision to include the Fallout Classic Collection for Fallout 76 players seems to be the company’s attempt to make amends after the disappointing launch of the game....

The game reportedly earned over $5 million in just two weeks, which is not a bad return for a title that’s simultaneously promoting one of the biggest releases of the year. Now, there’s room for a little creativity as Bethesda attempts to grow the game’s player base even further. Social media has become one of the most powerful tools that a studio has to publicize a game. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are all gaming PR favorites, but it can be difficult to stand out from the crowd on cluttered platforms such as those....

Last month the race briefly appeared to look competitive, with Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke moving within two points of Abbott according to one poll. However, more recent polling suggested Abbott has a strong lead, with the latest analysis from election website FiveThirtyEight giving the incumbent a 98 percent chance of victory. The most recent poll, conducted between November 2 and 5 by CWS Research, gave Abbott an 11-point lead. Based on a survey of 786 registered voters it put the Republican on 53 percent, versus 42 percent for O’Rourke....

The Hocus Pocus actress is famously not a fan of the President or his administration. Taking to Twitter Friday morning Midler tweeted: “Just learned that Hope Hicks tested positive for COVID. Timing’s so interesting. I guess Trump’s quarantining will mean no rallies, and no more debates. Convenient.” She added: “It’s awful to always think the worst, but after four years of relentless lying? Can’t be helped. No trust left.”...

The world’s women now converging on Beijing suddenly loom as a great force at the very moment when deadly new games to violence and greed seem to be taking over the entire world. Are women irrelevant to those power players? They may think so; they may wish women would just stop talking about values, human rights, about the concerns of children and the environment, the old and the poor, the whole social agenda that the men now seizing power in many lands want to reverse....

Light has finally begun to seep through the shadows of Beyond Good & Evil 2’s obscured development in recent months, though. At first, it was simply Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirming Beyond Good & Evil 2 was still coming, whenever that might be. The next step for Ubisoft and series creator Michel Ancel has been for the creator himself to begin showcasing some teaser images, including ones the developer leaked earlier today that showcase a familiar species from the first game....

Last week, OPEC countries and allied oil-producing nations supported a plan to cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day. In response, national security adviser Jake Sullivan and National Economic Council Director Brian Deese released a joint statement saying the move had “disappointed” President Joe Biden, noting that “the global economy is dealing with the continued negative impact of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.” Biden told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview Tuesday that there will “be some consequences for what they’ve done, with Russia....

Top figures from Iran’s political, judicial and military institutions marked the third anniversary of Soleimani’s slaying by emphasizing their desire to hold accountable those behind the deadly U.S. strike at Iraq’s Baghdad International Airport. Among these Iranian voices was Kazem Gharibabadi, who serves as the vice president of the country’s Judiciary for International Affairs and secretary general of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, who revealed Tuesday that some 94 U....

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday night that Biden has agreed to meet Putin to try and resolve the Russia-Ukraine border crisis. “As the President has repeatedly made clear, we are committed to pursuing diplomacy until the moment an invasion begins,” Psaki said in a statement. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is scheduled to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday for a diplomatic solution, and Biden has already “accepted in principle a meeting with President Putin following that engagement, again, if an invasion hasn’t happened....

Reacting to a Florida federal judge’s ruling on Monday, airlines said they would leave it up to passengers whether to mask up. However, they cautioned that some international flights and U.S. airports may keep the requirement that has become a feature of U.S. air travel for the last two years. While the administration of President Joe Biden could still appeal the ruling by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, appointed by former President Donald Trump, airlines have indicated that the mandate is not being enforced by the Transportation Security Administration....

Biden is approaching the midpoint of his presidential term, and many are looking at his actions thus far with increasing scrutiny. Biden made steep climate promises during his campaign, such as reaching 100 percent clean electricity by 2035. Some of his actions have progressed those goals, such as passing the Inflation Reduction Act into law to funnel $370 billion into climate and environmental investments. However, some organizations are critiquing the EPA’s execution on federal goals to address climate change....

The best wireless routers offer WiFi 6 or 802.11ax. The protocol offers the fastest speeds while supporting most devices too. WiFi 5 or 802.11ac is still super fast but it’s not quite as clever any more at working with lots of devices. In a home full of smart home devices, you may need WiFi 6. Either way, both formats will suit most of the best smartphones (opens in new tab), best laptops (opens in new tab), and the best tablets (opens in new tab), as well as your consoles and TVs....

This election cycle, Democrats achieved major gains in some states over the past week, while Trump-endorsed Republican candidates were left with losses that the GOP found disappointing as they were positioning themselves for a Senate majority. Currently, Democrats are officially maintaining and potentially growing their Senate control while it is still unclear which party will take House majority. “When the president first started using the term ‘MAGA Republican’ back in May, you know a lot of pundits…thought it wouldn’t work,” Dunn said during an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press....

Iowa, a historic swing state, often serves as a make or break moment for presidential campaigns, as its primary occurs first in the election cycle. Although it’s been trending redder in recent years, it’s still a state where Democrats can claim victory, and Biden’s poor performance could hurt his party in a critical midterm election. Republicans only need to gain one seat in the Senate and six in the House to take control of Congress and block Biden’s agenda for the final two years of his presidency....
