By Morgan Lee | Associated Press SANTA FE, N.M. — A jury convicted a movie weapons supervisor of involuntary manslaughter on Wednesday in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal on the set of the Western movie “Rust.” The verdict against movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed assigns new blame in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021 after an assistant director last year pleaded no contest to negligent handling of a firearm. Baldwin, the lead actor and a…

It’s finally happening: Dying Light 2‘s post-apocalyptic civilization has rediscovered guns. As announced months ago, late in 2023, Techland’s latest major content update for Dying Light 2 is all about weaponry, celebrating the game’s second anniversary with a boom and a bang. The aptly titled ‘Firearms Update’ signals the release of Dying Light 2 version 1.15, and though there’s much more to the patch than just guns, it’s plainly obvious what its main selling point is. Upon installing the Firearms Update, Dying Light 2…

It's mating season for coyotes, which means they're more likely to be out and about during the day.With that in mind, the City of Burlington, Ont., is reminding residents what to do if they encounter one, and how to coyote-proof their properties. Last week, the city also updated its bylaws to let wildlife management professionals use firearms but the city's head of bylaw says that's not to make it easier to kill coyotes but makes the response require less staffing."Coyotes have always been here. People just didn't notice…

The new year has barely begun but it seems we already have 2024’s biggest game – and it’s not a multi-million dollar sci-fi extravaganza set in a vast universe created by a gigantic publisher. It’s a survival adventure released by a small company in Japan, which had only previously released one game. It’s called Palworld, and it’s being accurately described as “Pokémon with guns”. And if that sounds horrible to you, it seems you are very much alone. Within three days of its release on 18 January, it had sold 5m copies.…

The Pokémon Company knows about Palworld and is very much aware that the game is drawing a lot of comparisons with its intellectual property, based on a statement it has published. While the company didn't explicitly name Palworld, it said it's going to investigate a game "released in January 2024" and will "take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to Pokémon." It also clearly stated that it has "not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual…

Learning how to play Palworld on iPhone, iPad, and Mac is super easy once you get the hang of it, but it can be slightly confusing initially as there is no official native support. Being sold as Pokémon with guns, Palworld is a survival crafting game about building bases, capturing creatures, and fighting big bosses. Given that fairly unique premise, it has already achieved over six million sales in just days after its launch. It’s still a game in early access which means it is lacking support for platforms like Apple.…
