Hunt

The Hunt Board is one of the more interesting pieces of side content in Final Fantasy XVI, offering optional boss fights that reward you with rare materials, tons of XP and ability points, and a hearty challenge. Each boss' general location is mentioned on the Hunt Board listing except for the S-Rank targets. They're the toughest fights of the bunch and require a bit of deduction and exploration to find since their description only hints at where you can find them--unless you're using our FFXVI S-Rank…

Tracking down various segments of the Berlin Wall scattered all over the US, this eccentric yet down-to-earth documentary from Courtney Stephens and Pacho Velez traces how a historic artefact can mutate and splinter into myriad meanings. Transformed by their surroundings as well as the film-makers’ gaze, these concrete slabs are more than a symbol of the cold war; they have come to represent something quintessentially American.From the midwest to California, state department halls to roadside restaurants, chunks of the…

The European Space Agency (ESA) is getting ready to kick off one of its biggest hunts for evidence of dark matter at the start of July. The kick will happen when it launches its Euclid spacecraft, which is essentially a dark-matter hunting space telescope that will peer deep into our universe for any signs of these intriguing and mysterious aspects of our universe. Both dark matter and dark energy are believed to be foundational to the current state of our universe, and essential to our understanding of the…

For the second time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has looked for and failed to find a thick atmosphere on an exoplanet in on one of the most exciting planetary systems known. Astronomers report today that there is probably no tantalizing atmosphere on the planet TRAPPIST-1 c, just as they reported months ago for its neighbour TRAPPIST-1 b. There is still a chance that some of the five other planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system might have thick atmospheres containing geologically and biologically interesting…

The 1997 all-star reptile rampage Anaconda was a movie notable for an early career appearance from J-Lo, a dicey Paraguayan accent from Jon Voight, and, let’s face it, not much else. Admittedly, defending a sequel that has 25% on Rotten Tomatoes might sound like a fool’s errand, but hear me out. With a charmingly silly plot and a raft of unsympathetic characters destined to become snake fodder, Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid succeeds where the original faltered – and cranks up the ophidiophobia.An exploratory…

If you know Brendan Hunt only through his “Ted Lasso” role as the laconic Coach Beard, this might come as a surprise: He’s a born storyteller with plenty to say. Hunt, 50, has been on Apple TV+’s “Lasso” train since it began back in 2013 when he and co-star Jason Sudeikis crafted a Premier League ad for NBC Sports. A two-time Emmy winner for the show, Hunt doesn’t take himself too seriously and deeply understands the Dutch concept of gezellig, as demonstrated in the latest season’s episode “Sunflowers.” The Envelope…

Overwatch 2 hasn’t been hitting the same for some When I covered Overwatch 2 at its “release,” I was anxiously waiting for the major PVE element that would eventually come down the pipeline. It sounded absolutely fantastic and would have added a true PVE element to the game, something Overwatch sorely needed for longevity. Sadly, those plans were scrapped, and although the team is still excited about what they’re putting out, it’s not the same. But all that is still a little ways out. For those of you who are still…
