During a segment of CNN’s New Day, co-anchor John Berman asked Scaramucci to confirm that he was “no longer an active supporter of President Trump and his re-election bid.” The former Trump aide responded: “Yeah, I think that’s pretty obvious.” “The guys actually disassembling a little bit and he’s sounding more and more nonsensical,” he continued. “And we’re sort of anesthetized to it and people inside of Washington: ‘Oh yeah, that’s just President Trump, just let him act like that....

The Taliban’s rapid takeover of a nation it lost to a U.S.-led intervention two decades ago has shocked the international community. But amid the ongoing U.S. evacuations and the collapse of the Afghan government, one province has refused to give in and raise the flag of the Islamic Emirate.

With an entirely new expansion dedicated to the Wutai-Avalanche ninja, and her new counterpart Sonon Kusakabe, this PS5-exclusive DLC will hopefully bridge the narrative gap between Remake and its second part. Considering Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s “Part 2” is presumably still in very early development, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on PS5 will hopefully serve as a good way to bide time until the ambitious remake receives its next entry....

The locations could also be used to inject a little humor into the horror game formula, something the show and movies were able to capture....

A video shared on TikTok captured the cheese in motion. In the clip, it’s being used to help trivialize an important encounter in Evil Dead: The Game. It’s the concluding encounter of a match, the defense of the Necronomicon. And to bolster the Survivor’s defenses, they’ve surrounded the Necronomicon with cars. With no clear path to the Necronomicon, the AI-controlled demons are entirely unable to attack the objective. It effectively breaks the encounter....

While a majority of the EVO 2020 main stage fighting games are familiar staples of the tournament, most expected that there would be room for Mortal Kombat 11.
