The hex-based 4X gameplay style of Civilization 6 is familiar to many, and daunting to the uninitiated. With gameplay that focuses on building cities, exploiting the land, and creating a powerful nation, there are many ways to win the game. Each civilization focuses on different ways to build power and win, with a unique building, unit, and bonuses. This is one reason why people have been so eager to learn about the new civs in the New Frontier Pass, particularly the next one releasing: Ethiopia....

Of course, long before this modern surge in comic book games, there were older efforts that did an admirable job at adapting the source material to the video game medium. From jade giants to friendly neighborhood wall crawlers, many of these releases were well-received at the time, but may be starting to show some age in both the graphical and gameplay departments. Considering that video game remakes are all the rage right now, there are a handful of classic superhero games that deserve to receive a similar treatment....

Thiem had beaten the 20-time grand slam champion twice this season and completed the hat-trick with a 7-5 7-5 victory at the O2 Arena on Sunday. The fifth-seeded Thiem has not reached the semi-finals in his three previous appearances in London, but made a confident start after Novak Djokovic beat Matteo Berrettini in the opening Group Bjorn Borg match. Thiem served and returned superbly, improving his record against Federer to five victories and two defeats as he bids to end a fruitful 2019 by claiming a sixth title of the year....

Photos show a man authorities believe to be Christopher Warnagiris pushing his way through a door at the Capitol and helping others to gain entry. When an officer attempted to shove him out of the doorway after ordering him to move, Warnagiris allegedly pushed the officer back in a struggle for command of the doorway was captured on film. Hundreds of alleged rioters have been arrested in the wake of the insurrection and many of them, including Warnagiris, were turned in by people they know....

You may be wondering just what the difference is. After all, can it really be that different from the best laptops (opens in new tab) if it’s got a trackpad, a keyboard, and a screen. Here’s the main differences between Chromebooks and laptops, and what it means to you. Chromebooks vs laptops At the most basic level, you can consider the differences to be down to the operating system, or OS....

Chronic bronchitis is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In COPD, inflammation of the airways in the lungs results in obstruction to the flow of air. COPD develops due to exposure to harmful substances in the air, usually cigarette smoke. The disease can manifest in different ways, and 14% to 74% of patients with COPD will have symptoms consistent with the definition of chronic bronchitis. How the Lungs Work To understand chronic bronchitis, it is helpful to understand how the lungs work....

RELATED: Chrono Cross: Dragon Feeding Rewards (And How to Win) Forums were packed with confused fans. Videos longer than the entire game itself dedicated themselves to solving the many inconsistencies and contradictions within the convoluted plotline. Fans eagerly anticipated the next major release, Chrono Cross, which debuted in 1999 and was based on the Japanese adventure game Radical Dreamers, set in the same universe. Hopeful for some clarity, people completed Chrono Cross only to get an equally nonsensical story with eleven or more different endings that were even more confusing than the first installment....

Following the deaths of two parents in the last episode of Chucky, “Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss” is properly titled. “Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss” focuses more on Junior’s grief than Devon’s despite both boys losing their mothers in Chucky’s previous episode. Even the opening credits of “Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss” work to remind everyone of the losses that have taken place, building the title card out of tombstones....

The UBook X comes in a form factor we’ve become familiar with from Microsoft’s Surface line, with a 12in tablet and optional keyboard cover. The screen itself is a 2160×1440 touchscreen, while Chuwi has made the shift to the 3:2 aspect ratio. This is considered to be closer to the dimensions of A4 paper, which should make for a more natural stylus experience. The HiPen H6 has the same 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity we see on many digital pens, and is available for £30....

Cilic had not been victorious since seeing off Dusan Lajovic in the opening round at Indian Wells in March and was on the brink of another loss at the Caja Magica. The ninth seed dug himself out of a hole to defeat qualifier Klizan 6-4 2-6 7-6 (7-0) in a contest that took two hours and 48 minutes to settle. Khachanov arrived in the Spanish capital in need of a lift after five consecutive defeats and got past wildcard Jaume Munar 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-3....

Querrey had beaten the defending champion at each of the last two editions of the grass-court grand slam, defeating Novak Djokovic in the third round last year before eliminating Murray this time around, although the world number one had been carrying a hip injury. Cilic proved a tougher obstacle, however, as the Croatian came from a set down to win their semi-final 6-7 (6-8) 6-4 7-6 (7-3) 7-5. An encounter that had everything kept the Centre Court crowd gripped in the London sunshine, as both players showed they are more than just big servers with some enthralling rallies during nearly three hours on court....

The world number 11 relied on his big serve and his booming forehand to down Gasquet, who had given France the first point by beating Borna Coric on Friday. Cilic levelled the tie on Friday when he saw off Lucas Pouille and he paired up with Ivan Dodig to give Croatia the lead with their win in the doubles against Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut on Saturday. Pouille beat Marin Draganja 6-4 6-4 in the final match with nothing at stake....

Your circadian rhythms are the cycle of physiological and biological processes that fluctuate on a roughly 24-hour timetable. All species have such a timing mechanism, or ‘clock,’ that controls periods of activity and inactivity. While many people refer to circadian rhythms as a single process, there are actually a number of body clocks that oscillate throughout the day. How Your Body ‘Keeps Time’ A tiny cluster of approximately 20,000 neurons in the hypothalamus (a region of the brain) controls your body’s many circadian rhythms....

To speak very broadly, Farms are not particularly good in Civilization 6, and players are advised to spend their Builder charges on other improvements (like Mines) and chops if at all possible. That said, if a city really needs access to some additional Food or Housing then building a few Farms can be helpful, though fans should plan appropriately to make sure that they maximize the potency of these improvements....

In our ongoing Civilization 6 leader series, we’re highlighting some of the best leaders to pick when going for specific victory conditions. Our first installment covered the best leaders for a Science Victory, and now we’re going to focus on the five best leaders to pick if world domination is the name of the game. RELATED: Civilization 6’s New Heroes and Legends Game Mode Explained Alexander of Macedonia It should come as no surprise that Alexander the Great, one of the most prolific conquerors in all of history, is an absolute tour de force in Civilization 6....

In this ongoing series, we’re going to be covering a handful of leaders that excel at each Victory Condition and how they can be used effectively. This week, we’re diving into the Science Victory and the leaders that are best suited to lead their Civilization into the great unknown of Space. RELATED: Civilization 6’s New Heroes and Legends Game Mode Explained Hammurabi of Babylon Hammurabi is a new face in Civilization 6, and he’s a wholly Science-centered leader who can really get a sprinting start toward a Science Victory compared to other Civs in the game....

To put things simply, it is best to expand early in Civ 6, and players should prioritize getting their first Settler out as soon as they have a Scout, some level of defense force, and potentially a Gold-purchased Builder. This timing should align fairly closely with the Capital reaching the two Population that is required to produce a Settler, and that is especially true on lower difficulty levels where fewer early combat units are needed....

There's a good chance they won't let him leave without a contract. Given they have an approximate $26 million in salary cap space, the Jets can afford Johnson short-term. Although he was released by the Tennessee Titans when he was due $8 million for 2014, he's expected to settle for much less on his new deal with a new team. The running back attended the Knicks-Nets basketball game in Brooklyn on Tuesday night, and told reporters that his visit with the Jets "went well," but he wasn't ready to make a decision....

“We’re going to start a new family tradition in my family. On the Fourth of July and every Fourth of July going forward, we’re going to watch that video The New York Times put together of January 6,” McCaskill said Friday during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. McCaskill served as a two-term senator from Missouri before being defeated by Republican Josh Hawley in 2018. A year later, she became a political analyst for NBC and MSNBC....
