News: A History of Keanu Reeves in Video Games
The Keanu Reeves renaissance (Keanussance?) is upon us, and we are here for it. Keanu has been kicking butt in action movies for decades now but it seems like he's more ubiquitous than ever these days. Outside of your John Wicks, he's popped up in Toy Story 4 as Duke Caboom (Canada's greatest daredevil and stuntman) and played an insufferable parody of himself in Netflix's Always Be My Maybe. But Keanu's biggest surprise appearance was at E3 2019, when he not only took the stage to reveal Cyberpunk 2077's release date, but also the that he was playing a major character in the game: the literally-named Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand. And so, not just in anticipation of Cyberpunk 2077, but in celebration of a beloved actor who keeps so busy he might as well live on our screens permanently… or just for the heck of it, really, let's take a look back at a brief history of every one of Keanu Reeves' many, many video game appearances. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=a-history-of-keanu-reeves-in-video-games&captions=true"] Click through the gallery above or scroll down for the full list! Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure(s) Way back in 1989, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was first adapted into a PC adventure game, and we got our first glimpse of a digitized Keanu as Ted "Theodore" Logan and his counterpart Bill S. Preston, Esq. as they traveled through time on various adventures and accidentally learning things in the process. In 1991, Bill & Ted's adventures continued with the release of new video games on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, and Atari Lynx - each one a totally unique experience. While the latter two took cues from the Bill & Ted animated series, the NES version was very clearly an 8-bit rendition of real-life Keanu Reeves. Pay attention to these characters because this goofy time-traveling buddy comedy franchise is actually getting a new sequel this year in Bill and Ted Face the Music… which probably won't be getting a video game adaptation, which is totally bogus - but it would be most excellent if it did. Bram Stoker's Dracula Following the success of Bram Stoker's Dracula, the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola adaptation of the classic vampire novel, official video game tie-ins were released for a whopping nine platforms between 1993 and 1995. All of these starred Keanu's character from the film, Jonathan Harker, though Keanu's likness varied wildly between titles. The lower-resolution renditions of Keanu looked more like Han Solo (or, in some cases, Aladdin), while the SEGA CD had full-motion video clips ripped straight from the film. Thankfully, Jonathan Harker's costume of "white shirt and dark vest" was reminiscent of Ted Theodore Logan's iconic attire, which helped reinforce the fact that players were looking at a small version of Keanu Reeves. Especially when re-enacting their favorite moments from the movie, like when Keanu roundhouse-kicked all those zombies. Johnny Mnemonic: The Interactive Action Movie This entry is actually more of a PSA - if you're watching this video looking for Keanu Reeves games, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. 1995 saw the release of an interactive FMV adventure game based on Johnny Mnemonic, the William Gibson short story that inspired the Keanu Reeves movie with the same name, but it didn't star Keanu Reeves. The role of Johnny Mnemonic was instead played by Christopher Gartin, who could probably play Keanu at bat mitzvahs, but is best known for replacing Kevin Bacon in Tremors 2: Aftershocks. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=keanu-reeves-characters-as-cyberpunk-heroes-ranked&captions=true"] Enter The Matrix The Matrix seems like it should've spawned countless video games, but somehow, it only got three official tie-ins and, bafflingly, only one of them focuses on Keanu's character Neo. 2003's Enter The Matrix was directed by The Wachowskis, featured some of the stars from The Matrix Reloaded, and directly intersected with the events of the films, but didn't actually allow players to play as Neo - much to the chagrin of fans who wanted to reenact their favorite action scenes starring the six-foot-one Lebanese Hollywood dreamboat roundhousing a bunch of Hugo Weavings and creepy albino twins. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2005/05/14/the-matrix-path-of-neo-playstation-2-trailer"] Fans finally got to wear the mantle of the One True Keanu in 2005's The Path of Neo, which was the straightforward Matrix game that people had been waiting for since the movie came out. Constantine The hockey-loving thespian portrayed the DC comics demon hunter on the big screen, which of course then got digitized onto all of our small screens in Constantine: The Video Game. The game itself was as okay as you'd expect, just like Keanu's spiky-haired mess of a character model. John Wick Tragically, Keanu stopped appearing in video games and we were forced to play hundreds of games that didn't star the world's sexiest motorcycle riding action star until 2014, when Pay Day 2 DLC introduced John Wick as a playable character, the first of many of Keanu's in-game appearances as the infamous vengeful dog widower. Later, in 2017, gamers got a chance to get inside the action star's head, literally, when The John Wick Chronicles put the Johnny Mnemonic star in a virtual reality adventure - a VirKeanual Reeves-ality simulator if you will. No? Okay. Next, Fortnite got an unofficial John Wick skin in 2018, known as "The Reaper," which Epic Games tried to pretend was not Keanu Reeves, in spite of everyone knowing it was very clearly Keanu Reeves. A year later, probably to prove that they weren't ripping off Keanu Reeves and/or to make more money, Epic Games released an official John Wick skin, revealed with a trailer in which the actual licensed Keanu Reeves skin squared off against his unlicensed doppleganger. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/16/fortnite-fortnite-x-john-wick-wicks-bounty-trailer/loops?q=eyJsb29wVGl0bGUiOiIiLCJzdGFydFBvc2l0aW9uIjowLjAyMjI3NTk3NDI1OTQ0Mjc1NiwiZW5kUG9zaXRpb24iOjAuNTU1MzgwOTA5ODEwOTE0MSwic3RpY2tlckdyaWRJZHMiOlt7InBvcyI6MCwiaW1hZ2VJZCI6IiJ9LHsicG9zIjoxLCJpbWFnZUlkIjoiIn0seyJwb3MiOjIsImltYWdlSWQiOiIifSx7InBvcyI6MywiaW1hZ2VJZCI6IiJ9LHsicG9zIjo0LCJpbWFnZUlkIjoiIn0seyJwb3MiOjUsImltYWdlSWQiOiIifV0sInZpZGVvSWQiOiI1NDc1MDE1NGM2NTNiNDY4Njg0ODA2NmJlYTBkZDc5NiIsImNyZWF0b3IiOiJKb25SeWFuLUlHTiIsImlzQnJhbmRpbmdFeGNsdWRlZCI6dHJ1ZX0="] Then, last year, 2019, lovingly known as the year of The Keanu, Keanu's adventures took a turn for the turn-based in John Wick: Hex, an action-strategy game developed by Mike Bithell, the indie developer of Thomas Was Alone, which was a game that starred rectangles (presumably because Keanu was unavailable). Cyberpunk 2077 And, now, in 2020, we're getting Cyberpunk 2077 -- an AAAA open-world RPG that lets players live out their ultimate fantasies of having a crazy futuristic adventure while the cybernetic ghost of Keanu Reeves is embedded in their brains. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/12/keanu-reeves-talks-about-whats-cool-in-cyberpunk-2077"] We got a chance to talk to Keanu about his role in CD Projekt Red's upcoming sci-fi epic, or you can check out what happened to his character in the years between the tabletop Cyberpunk 2020 and the digital world of 2077.

News: Dying Light 2 Delayed With No New Release Date
Developer Techland has announced that it has delayed the launch of Dying Light 2. The zombie survival game was originally due to release Spring 2020, and Techland has offered no indication as to when it now plans to release the game. Hey Survivors! Here's the Dying Light 2 Development Update. pic.twitter.com/CKMkAe2eD7 — Dying Light (@DyingLightGame) January 20, 2020 Posted on Twitter, a statement from CEO Paweł Marchewka said: "We were initially aiming for a Spring 2020 release with Dying Light 2, but unfortunately, we need more development time to fulfill our vision. We will have more details to share in the coming months, and will get back to you as soon as we have more information. Dying Light 2 had never been given a firm release date, but the Spring 2020 window was fast approaching. By not providing an updated release date or window, Techland has freed itself from time constraint and, in theory, given itself indefinite time in order to bring Dying Light 2 to the standards that the team is chasing. While internally things are no doubt more complicated, it's clear that the team has decided more time is required to work on the project. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/09/dying-light-2-gameplay-trailer-e3-2019"] This is the fifth game to be delayed within under a week; the last few days have seen slips from Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Iron Man VR, Marvel's Avengers, and Cyberpunk 2077, the latter two having being delayed a few months beyond their initial planned dates. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=dying-light-2-e3-trailer-screenshots&captions=true"] Dying Light 2 is still looking promising, despite the delay. When we last saw it at E3 2019 we discovered that its branching story may mean you only see 50% of its content in your first playthrough.

News: Dad's Home-Made Xbox Controller Lets Daughter Play Breath of the Wild
A dad spent a weekend building a custom pad for the Xbox Adaptive Controller so his daughter could use it to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch. Rory Steel, who is the head of Jersey Digital Academy, tweeted his progress as he created a custom rig attached to the controller that Microsoft designed to "meet the needs of gamers with limited mobility." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/09/06/unboxing-the-xbox-adaptive-controller"] His plan was to build a controller that made playing the Nintendo Switch accessible to his daughter, who Steel told Channel 103 has "fine motor neurone issues." He started with some electronic parts purchased from eBay and the Xbox Adaptive Controller. This weekends project. Make a @Nintendo #switch accessibility controller for my daughter using @Microsoft #adaptiveController and some @eBay parts. pic.twitter.com/YHN38SG9dZ — Rory Steel (@JerseyITGuy) January 18, 2020 He added a solid base for all the electronic parts that sits above the Xbox Adaptive Controller. That base holds two joysticks: one moving the playable character, the other moving the camera. Controller success! Buttons tomorrow as I need a slightly larger drill bit than standard. Off the @BandQ then trials being in the morning. #accessibility @Nintendo #switch @Microsoft #adaptiveController pic.twitter.com/gxQPjZlP20 — Rory Steel (@JerseyITGuy) January 18, 2020 After getting more parts from a hardware shop, Steel added 16 buttons that go around the outside of the base, each with a different function. That's enough for tonight. Some serious soldering and wire management tomorrow morning for some game testing in the afternoon. My daughter is desperate to try but we've kept it a secret from her brother who's been itching to play #ZeldaBreathoftheWild. @Nintendo @Microsoft pic.twitter.com/bgIC9h9aH3 — Rory Steel (@JerseyITGuy) January 18, 2020 After some "serious soldering and wire management," Steel moved onto testing and then filmed his daughter's reaction as she finally got to play Breath of the Wild. Finished! Ava gives my homemade #accessibility controller V1.0 the thumbs up. She can play @Nintendo #BreathoftheWild on her #switch like her friends now. All thanks to @Microsoft #adaptiveController #XAC @brycej @ArranDyslexia @shanselman pic.twitter.com/dOhGnUFZa0 — Rory Steel (@JerseyITGuy) January 19, 2020 Steel's weekend project has been noticed by head of Xbox Phil Spencer, who tweeted in response, "Incredible. And what a smile." He's since been approached by Microsoft and Logitech, who want to help him build a higher-tech version 2.0 of his custom controller that could be used by other people with mobility impairments. Steel told Channel 103 that he's going to take the companies up on their offers, but adds "the project was always supposed to be something that anyone across the world could use. What I still want to do is a low-tech version, so people at home can have a go." We named the Xbox Adaptive Controller the most innovative piece of tech in 2018. Microsoft even went so far as to ensure the packaging it comes in is accessible for people with limited mobility.

News: Nintendo Switch Patent Reveals Touch Pen Attachment for Joy-Cons
A new patent has been published for an official touch pen attachment that would work with the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Cons. The US Patent office revealed the patent, filed by Nintendo on June 4, 2019 and published on January 16, 2020, with a bunch of images and plenty of information on how exactly the touch pen attachment would work. The stylus-like device is designed to work when the Switch is in handheld mode and the Joy-Cons are not attached to the touchscreen. You slide the attachment on to either Joy-Con - accommodating both left and right handed use - and then use it to draw onto the touchscreen. The patent showcases that when drawing with the touch pen you are able to use the buttons on the Joy-Con too. In one example, the player draws a line with the touch pen, and then presses one of the Joy-Con buttons to change the thickness of that line. The Joy-Con's HD rumble function is also shown working in another illustration. The player touches one of three boxes displayed on the touchscreen and the Joy-Con vibrates in response to the interaction. It's worth noting that there is already a Nintendo Switch stylus available that allows for easy drawing on the touchscreen. However, it doesn't work in tandem with the Joy-Cons and their features. Nintendo has also previously sold touch pens for its handheld consoles, such as the DS, 3DS, and Wii U. This new touch pen adds more functionality due to being an attachment for the Joy-Cons, which could open up more gameplay possibilities for compatible games, including Super Mario Maker 2, Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/08/is-a-nintendo-switch-pro-model-coming-this-year-ign-daily-fix"] With reports of a Nintendo Switch Pro on the way this year, it's possible that a Pro model be designed to make the most of ideas like this touch pen attachment. Is this our first look at how Nintendo will be responding to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X? [poilib element="accentDivider"] Chris Priestman is a freelancer who writes news for IGN.

News: Joe Biden Calls Silicon Valley Game Developers 'Little Creeps'
Joe Biden, the former vice president and 2020 candidate for President of the United States, has shared some harsh thoughts on Silicon Valley game developers, as reported in a wide-reaching interview with The New York Times. When asked about the Obama administration's legacy on Silicon Valley regulation, Biden talks about meeting with leaders in Silicon Valley to discuss intellectual property rights, and describes interacting with an unspecified game developer as "one of the little creeps" who make games that "teach you how to kill people." "And at one point, one of the little creeps sitting around that table, who was a multi- — close to a billionaire — who told me he was an artist because he was able to come up with games to teach you how to kill people, you know the ——," said Biden. The reporter interrupted Biden at this point to clarify he was talking about video games, to which he agrees. The senator went on to use the words "righteous" and "overwhelming arrogance" to further describe those working in tech at Silicon Valley. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/07/every-country-has-video-games-only-one-has-a-mass-shooter-problem"] "And then one of these righteous people said to me that, you know, 'We are the economic engine of America. We are the ones.' And fortunately, I had done a little homework before I went and I said, you know, I find it fascinating. As I added up the seven outfits, everyone's there but Microsoft. I said you have fewer people on your payroll than all the losses that General Motors just faced in the last quarter, of employees. So don't lecture me about how you've created all this employment," continued Biden. "The point is, there's an arrogance about it, an overwhelming arrogance that we are, we are the ones. We can do what we want to do. I disagree," Biden said. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/02/22/trump-suggests-movies-and-video-games-are-responsible-for-youth-violence"] The New York Times did not appear to press Biden on specifying which game developers he met with, or to elaborate further on his thoughts. Biden's views on violent video games aren't surprising. Back in 2013 when he was Vice President he vocally saw no legal problem taxing violent media. That year The Gaming Association even published an open letter asking him to look at studies suggesting there's no link between violence and video games. The question of whether violent video games lead kids astray is a long talked about one. However, when it comes to the relationship between shootings in the United States of America and games the correlation doesn't seem to make much sense. As for Silicon Valley, the tech hub's long history of sexism and worker exploitation has been well-documented by reporters at Wired and The Atlantic, among others.

News: Apex Legends Player Takes Over Airport TV to Play Ranked Match
An actual apex legend plugged his PlayStation 4 into a TV at Portland International Airport on Thursday to play Apex Legends. According to Oregon Live (via Kotaku), the man commandeered a TV that was displaying a map of the airport. Security officials walked over and asked the traveler to stop playing. Kama Simonds from Port of Portland said that the man "very politely" asked if he can finish his game. Security denied his request, and the man stopped his game. "Apparently it was a very polite and cordial interaction," Simonds said. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Picture from Oregon Live[/caption] The television takeover occurred early in the morning on Thursday. Simonds said this was, "a good reminder of what not to do at the airport." US Gamer pointed out that the man decided to play a ranked match judging by a badge on the corner of the screen. Apex Legends launched almost a year ago on February 4, 2019. The game has continued adding new events including the Grand Soirée event, which is currently going on until January 28. One of the events is an option to play in third-person mode. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/14/apex-legends-grand-soiree-breakdown-and-the-state-of-matchmaking"] The CEO of Respawn has just taken over duties as head of DICE LA and is currently working on an original IP that has yet to be announced. Good news for our airport friend, a mobile version of Apex Legends is still on the way. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Petey Oneto is a freelance writer for IGN. View the full article
News: Ubisoft Sues Website That Allegedly Facilitates DDoS Attacks on Siege
Ubisoft is suing a website that allegedly sells subscriptions to a server that distributes denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on Rainbow Six: Siege players, according to a report by Polygon. The lawsuit was filed on Thursday against website SNG.ONE. On the outside, the website sells plans to companies who want to evaluate the security of their website, according to Eurogamer. When Ubisoft went to investigate, they found they could get access to servers from Epic Games' Fortnite, EA's FIFA 20, Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) and more. "When executed, the DDoS Attacks flood the R6S Servers, overload its network, slow down the servers, and often cause a complete server crash, disconnecting all players engaged in an R6S match on the targeted server (and thereby ending their game prematurely)," the lawsuit reads. "Even when the DDoS Attacks do not result in a server crash, however, they nonetheless disrupt and interfere with access to the R6S Servers. Defendants have weaponized these DDoS Attacks, providing some R6S players looking for an unfair advantage with the ability to cheat." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/15/rainbow-six-siege-road-to-six-invitational-2020-trailer"] Ubisoft announced plans to counter DDoS attacks in September that resulted in a 93% decrease in attacks by the end of October. The lawsuit mentions a time when it's believed SNG.ONE responded to Ubisoft's original plans. In September, the Twitter account for SNG wrote "Good job, @UbisoftSupport Keep the work up." Accompanied with the post is a picture from The Simpsons with Bart writing on the chalkboard. The writing on the chalkboard appears to be edited to read, "We will ban every ddoser." The tweet has since been taken down, according to Polygon, but a screenshot of it was placed in the lawsuit. Ubisoft claims in the lawsuit that this means SNG was "well aware" of both Ubisoft's actions as well as their own. [caption id="attachment_228993" align="aligncenter" width="473"] Screenshot from the Ubisoft lawsuit[/caption] For now, Ubisoft is seeking damages and court fees while it petitions a court to shut down the alleged DDoS service. Rainbow Six Siege was first launched by Ubisoft in December 2015. The support for the game hasn't stopped by Ubisoft or the community. The game is the fourth most-played game on Steam at the time of this writing and Ubisoft keeps adding new characters to play as. Read our interview with a game designer on two of those new characters. And check out which awards Rainbow Six Siege lost at the most recent Game Awards.

News: England's Top Mental Health Nurse: Games Push Kids to Gamble
England's top mental health nurse wants game publishers to restrict microtransaction sales to children because of its possible relation to gambling. Claire Murdoch, National Health Service England's mental health director, released a report that calls for "fair and realistic spending limits" on loot boxes and for gaming publishers to give consumers a "percentage chance they have of obtaining the items they want before they purchase." The report also called for some serious reckoning on behalf of the video game industry, calling for "the gaming industry to face up to responsibilities to protect players from potential harms" and "an industry levy to support independent research on long-term effects of gaming." "Frankly no company should be setting kids up for addiction by teaching them to gamble on the content of these loot boxes," Murdoch said. "No firm should sell to children loot box games with this element of chance, so yes those sales should end." Meanwhile, a U.S. senator introduces a bill to ban microtransaction sales to children. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/08/us-legislation-could-limit-loot-box-sales-to-children-ign-now"] The report from Murdoch wants gaming companies to do more about restricting younger players from playing games with a rating outside of their age range. It also mentions that half of U.K. parents let their children play a game with a mature rating without having seen any of the game themselves, and that there have been cases of children purchasing microtransactions without their parents' knowledge. This comes about three months after NHS opened a clinic for gaming addiction and less than a year after the World Health Organization announced that Gaming Disorder will be classified as a disease in 2022. Up to 15 new gambling clinics will be available in England to address people aged 13-25 who are struggling with mental health addiction in topics related to social media and video games. "Young people's health is at stake, and although the NHS is stepping up with these new, innovative services available to families through our Long Term Plan, we cannot do this alone, so other parts of society must do what they can to limit risks and safeguard children's wellbeing," Murdoch said. WHO announced plans in 2018 to make the first update in 26 years to the compendium of diseases so they can list "gaming disorder" and "hazardous gaming." In August 2019, it was announced that Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft will work on new policies surrounding microtransactions.

News: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Actually Teased Piccadilly Circus Attack Years Prior
2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, effectively a reboot of the Modern Warfare storyline that began in 2007, features an explosive early mission set in London's Piccadilly Circus, a major traffic and pedestrian intersection. It's essentially 2019's Modern Warfare's equivalent of the No Russian mission, a particularly violent stretch in which innocent civilians are caught in a massive terrorist attack. Well, it turns out that the events of Piccadilly Circus weren't so unexpected, as a newspaper from Modern Warfare 2 actually described the event. As shown in a Reddit post from user "NuclearFPS," (as reported by Eurogamer), a newspaper clipping with the headline "Makarov Vows Revenge in Taped Message" and a picture of Picadilly Circus can be seen in mission 15 of Modern Warfare 2, "Loose Ends." In the mission, you're launching an attack on the house of villain Vladimir Makarov on the Georgia-Russian border, finding a wealth of intel on Makarov's activities around the globe. The text of the newspaper clipping directly mentions a bombing in Piccadilly Circus. The clipping also details a statement from Makarov following the bombing, claiming the attack is revenge for "eliminating [Modern Warfare 1 antagonist] Imran Zakhaev." Another newspaper nearby continues the description of events. "The explosion at Piccadilly Circus was heard for miles in every direction," the paper reads. "Ryan Lastimosa, a tourist from the US, was watching the Changing of the Guard less than a mile away at Buckingham Palace when he heard a 'loud boom'. 'The ground shook so hard that we were practically thrown to the ground.' 59 injuries from falling debris alone were reported in the vicinity of the palace. Royal Marines stationed around the area responded in conjunction with local police, but no suspects were apprehended. The death toll continues to rise, as emergency workers dig through the rubble with the current count at 407. 'The quantity of explosives was substantial but conventional in nature,' said a spokesperson for Interpol. 'The question is one of logistics - we are working on that at the moment. The transport of such a large quantity would have been prohibitive in that area.' Some have speculated that Makarov used a modified subway car in London's Underground packed with explosives, set to detonate on arrival at the heavily trafficked station in the heart of London." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-call-of-duty-review&captions=true"] While it directly mentions the Piccadilly bombing, the newspaper clip kind of messes with the established Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) timeline, as Zakhaev is shown to be alive and well by the end of the latest game's campaign when it's revealed that the events are effectively a prequel. It's easy to imagine Infinity Ward likely combed through the three previous Modern Warfare games for narrative beats to help tie 2019's Call of Duty back to its predecessors, albeit with some significant changes. There's also the fact that 2019 COD's Piccadilly attack was carried out by terrorists driving vans filled with explosives, while Modern Warfare 2's newspapers say Makarov used a train tunnel. Regardless, fans wondering whether or not Activision and Infinity Ward will folllow the exact same campaign narrative as previous Modern Warfare games or spice things up have one more thing to theorize about now. In other Call of Duty news, to the surprise of no one, the FPS franchise claimed seven out of 10 spots of the highest selling games of the decade, according to the NPD. You can also still buy Modern Warfare's "Outback Relief" pack to help raise money for Australia wildfire relief efforts.

News: 6 Video Games That Should Be Netflix Shows
Adapting video games into movies hasn't had the best track record, but Netflix seems to have slightly better luck. They've done animated series based on Castlevania, Skylanders, and Carmen SanDiego, there's a Cuphead cartoon in the works, and of course, everyone's talking about the live-action Witcher show. Even though it's based on the books more than the games, the popularity of the series has led to a record-breaking number of hardcore fans and newcomers flocking to The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt four years after its release. Presumably, other video game publishers have taken notice and are trying to fast-track projects based on their properties — which will hopefully lead to more adaptations that actually treat their source material with the respect they deserve. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=6-video-games-that-should-be-netflix-shows&captions=true"] Grand Theft Auto V There has never been a shortage of procedural crime dramas set in gritty major cities, but they almost always focus on the cops being heroes, rarely the criminals. Grand Theft Auto's appeal on an interactive level is letting players cause mayhem in a gigantic sandbox, but Grand Theft Auto V's story is especially interesting since it shows three criminal characters experiencing the same events from different perspectives — something could totally work as a Netflix show. GTA V already told a phenomenal story, so why not pick up where it left off, just a decade later? All the principal actors are still around, and while Rockstar might want to explore new territory and characters in Grand Theft Auto 6, fans would undoubtedly be ecstatic to reunite with Trevor, Michael, and Franklin in another medium. Fallout Fallout's grim post-nuclear-apocalypse dystopia paired with a cheerful 1950s all-American can-do attitude has its own visual identity, and could allow for plenty of stories that are equal parts comedy, drama, horror, and action. Plus, of all the AAA franchises out there, a live-action Fallout with a low-budget is totally on-brand — a cast in of scruffy characters wearing costumes made out of recycled garbage set against a desolate backdrop is authentically Fallout. heck, hire the folks behind the Nuka Break fan series and enlist a bunch of cosplayers as extras and you'll be all set. Bloodborne In a perfect world, Bloodborne's dripping wet nightmare of grotesque horse skeletons, puss-filled, bandage-wrapped ghouls, and ragged-___ werewolves would be a phenomenal live-action horror movie or mini-series, but before production budgets go through the roof on trying to recreate and puppeteer a building-sized Cleric Beast animatronic, maybe this one should go the gritty animated route. Adi Shankar and Frederator Studios did a wonderful job turning the classic monster-slaying action of Castlevania into a gruesome M-rated cartoon, and while it sounds like Shankar's got his hands full with projects based on Devil May Cry, Assassin's Creed, and Hyper Light Drifter, we'd still love to see a Bloodborne cartoon. Imagine: a horror-tinged monster of the week boss fight show where a lone hunter scuffles with awful villagers, creepy monks, and bizarre creatures before turning a corner to face down a gigantic menace like Vicar Amelia or Rom The Vacuous Spider. Along the way, the hunter could gain access to ****** new weapons and of course, nudge the underlying story along through bits and pieces of wonderfully deranged lore. In the meantime, at least we have the Bloodborne graphic novels from Titan Comics. God of War God of War's incredible characters,from angry brooding dads to eccentric dwarven shopkeepers, would translate perfectly to a Netflix mini-series. The tale of Kratos and Atreus' epic journey across Midgard is one of loss, grief, turmoil, and the growing relationship between father and son — and the mini-series format would give the story plenty of room to breathe. But also: God of War is about killing monsters and ripping off their heads with a gigantic axe and/or your bare hands, so the combat sequences would be violent, intense, and way too spicy for network television -- and The Witcher proved once again that Netflix isn't afraid to put some M-rated live-action beheading and disembowelment front and center. The recent movie 1917 did a phenomenal job of depicting the journey of two men across a war-torn battlefield with a one-shot cinematography approach, striking a balance between tense action and nuanced character moments, all the while keeping the camera locked on the characters -- Just do that, but with Kratos and Atreus! And on a TV budget! The Legend of Zelda Considering the Zelda franchise has been legendary for over thirty years now, it's genuinely baffling that we haven't had an official movie or TV adaptation of The Legend of Zelda — y'know, aside from that animated series that inspired a thousand YouTube Poop videos and our own ideas for what it might look like. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2008/04/01/link-stars-trailer-legend-of-zelda-movie-trailer-debut-hd"] The big debate would obviously be which Zelda game would make for the best show, and what that show's format would be -- but given that almost every Zelda game gives its universe a soft reboot and new look, there's really no issue with trying something new entirely, maybe even season to season. Perhaps take a page from The Mandalorian and make Link a mostly-silent protagonist. Let the supporting characters provide the banter and exposition, but limit Link's interactions to facial expressions, pantomime, and the occasional "YAH!" as he smashes pots or torments local poultry. Animal Crossing From kid shows like Octonauts and Llama Llama to more adult fare like Bojack Horseman or Tuca and Bertie, animated talking animal shows are a hit on Netflix. Given the wide age range of Animal Crossing's fanbase, a show that finds a balance between the sugary-sweet baby cartoons and foul-mouthed animated sitcoms could bring everyone together. A human character takes the train to a small, unexpected town, only to be greeted by a diverse cast of talking animals, including an evil raccoon that they are immediately indebted to. By helping villagers across town via small, episode long-quests, Animal Crossing could tell a charming, bittersweet slice-of-life story of making friends, doing chores, and buying furniture. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/26/5-reasons-animal-crossings-tom-nook-is-pure-evil"] After all, Animal Crossing is about adorable animals and friendship — but it's also about the crushing responsibility and grueling monotony of capitalist society. In the meantime, the next best thing is Netflix original Rilakkuma and Kaoru -- it's about a depressed adult woman who finds joy in life thanks to her layabout talking animal roommates. [youtube clip_id="YKJf876thxw"] Which video game do you think would make the perfect Netflix show? Let us know in the comments below. Netflix already made video games based on Stranger Things, Narcos and Dark Crystal, so it's time to return the favor and make some shows based on games instead. ...Or, you know, just put the friggin Netflix app on Switch already.

Claudio ONOFRI 1981-1984
Name: Claudio Onofri
Club: Genoa C.F.C.
Position: SWP, CB
Side: RF/BS
Height: 190 cm approx.
Weight: 80 kg approx.
Growth type: Late/Lasting
Onofri started his career at Torino in 1971 but he never played and was loaned to Pro Vercelli, Montevarchi and ClodiaSottomarina before being sold to Avellino. Initially he was an inside forward but he was considered too slow for that position despite having good technique so in his first years he became a sweeper, tall, physically strong and good with the head. He joined Serie A team Genoa in 1976 but after two seasons, due to the relegation of the team, he was sold to Torino despite being a regular in the rossoblu first team. With Torino he reached the third place in Serie A but didn't play a lot and had mostly bad performances especially during his first match in UEFA Cup against Sporting de Gijón when he was chosen as the worst player. At the end of the season he asked to be sold back to Genoa where he stayed from 1979 to 1985 as captain, playing 160 matches between Serie A and Serie B. He retired in 1986 after a season at Catania.

Call 800-314-7003! What is a surety bond? A surety bond offers coverage if one party defaults on a commitment made by another. Put another way, they allow one party to trust another party. Let's say you own dairy plant in Michigan. There are numerous health and safety regulations that dictate how you do business on a day-to-day basis, and the government needs these regulations to be followed to a "T". The government can't always watch over your back, and so they install a surety bond as a sort of carrot and stick encouragement to keep you walking straight and narrow. Of course, every once in a while a claim does have to be paid, in which case the surety company will advance a loan in your name to cover it (with you paying the sure you back afterward). Pro Surety Bond has over 25 years of combined industry experience. Call even if you think you can't be bonded with poor credit. Call 800-314-7003!
If you are bidding on public projects for the City of Alpine Township you may be required to post a Bid Bond. The Bid Bond guarantees you will be able to provide the Performance Bonds required in the event you are the low bidder. In essence the Bid Bond pre-qualifies you for the work you are bidding on. Not all jobs require bonding but if they do we can assist you with Bid Bonds, and subsequent Performance and Payment Bonds as required by the state. Please call the Contract Bond Team at Pro Surety Bond for more information.
Alpine Township is a civil township in Kent County and it is the 151st most populous community in the state of Michigan.

In Alpine Township you'll find nothing but friendly and warm people, and that means even municipal staff and community and leaders. If you're looking for a great place to live, all in all you'll find that Alpine Township is a perfect blend of agriculture, residential, commercial and industrial development.
Alpine Township, in conjunction with the State of Michigan, offers a number of economic incentives to help new businesses and relocating businesses make the best of their efforts. There is The Right Place, the regional non-profit Economic Development organization which is funded by a range of sources, both private and public sector. Its mission is to promote wealth creation and economic growth for the creation of jobs and expansion of the tax base. There's also the Michigan Economic Development Corporation which is the state's marketing arm and lead advocate for business development. The corporation offers a number of business assistance services, capital programs, business attraction, accelerated entrepreneurship and strategic partnerships.
Who is the Small Business Administration Bond Guarantee Program for? The SBA bond guarantee program was created the 1980s to help small, minority owned, and less experienced contractors get a surety bond for government projects, when they would otherwise have a difficulty doing so. Often, it's only experience or financial strength that prevents them, and the program, through qualifying bond producers, allows the government to guarantee a surety bod up to 90% of the coverage. It's for companies that would otherwise not meet the minimum standards for bonding. Give us a call at 800-314-7003.

ICSJ Responds to U.S. Census Bureau's Poverty Report
WASHINGTON, D.C. (September 17, 2010) – In a press release issued today, the ICNA Council for Social Justice (ICSJ) addressed a shocking report on national poverty statistics in 2009.
Staggering figures released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau in its annual report on poverty, income and health coverage pin the national poverty rate at 14.3 percent, its highest level in the past 15 years.
43.6 million Americans, 1 in 7 people, lived below the poverty line in 2009. President Obama said the administration's proposed economic recovery package prevented millions more from falling into poverty.
Naeem Baig, Executive Director of ICSJ said, "While we commend the efforts of charities and the federal government in providing aid, we must not rest on our laurels in the fight against poverty. We must ask why despite all efforts the world's richest nation still espouses a system in which every seventh person is living below the poverty line and millions go hungry every day. Such matters must be brought to the forefront of national dialogue."
Statistics from Thursday's report indicate that the economic downturn continues to worsen, with income levels, jobs and health coverage also on the fall. The ICSJ demands that elected officials and congressional hopefuls outline their plans to address these dire issues. We also urge American Muslims to contact their respective representatives and local government officials to push for progress against poverty.
ICSJ and ICNA Relief, both social services branches of ICNA, served nearly 70,000 people in the United States through various projects in 2009. In October 2010 ICSJ and ICNA Relief will host the National Campaign Against Hunger, a month-long campaign to tackle hunger from both social service and justice perspectives. The initiative is inspired by the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and his compassion for the needy, as well as ICNA's goal to "strengthen the bond of humanity by serving all those in need anywhere in the world, with special focus on [local] neighborhoods across North America."
The ICNA Council for Social Justice is a research and advocacy branch that aims to keep the American Muslim community and broader public informed about and involved in pertinent civil and social issues in America. ICSJ also represents the Muslim voice on social justice issues in America.

Composer Jeff Russo Teases Scoring 'The Umbrella Academy' Season Two
Posted April 6th, 2020 by Jax Motes
When your TV show is based on a comic book written by a rock star, at the very least, it better deliver an amazing soundtrack. Luckily, Netflix's 'The Umbrella Academy' did just that. It's officially been over a year since the series, based on the comic written by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way, with art by Gabriel Bá, dropped on Netflix, but there is good news. The second season has been completely shot. Actually, from the sound of things, the show is getting the finishing touches courtesy of composer Jeff Russo.
Not only did Russo score the first season, but he worked with the show's creator and showrunner, Steve Blackman, as well as Way to integrate an eclectic mix of songs from various genres, including songs by Way (a cover of Simon and Garfunkle's "Hazy Shade of Winter"), series co-stars Emmy Raver-Lampman and Mary J. Blige, the Bay City Rollers, Nina Simone, The Doors, The Kinks, Queen, Radiohead, They Might Be Giants, and of course, '80s mall titan, Tiffany (among many more). In fact, the "I Think We're Alone Now" dance montage was nominated for an MTV Movie and TV Award for Best Musical Moment. (It lost to "Shallow" by Lady Gaga. Y'know that song that no one ever needs to hear again in their entire life?)
Russo is at work on the score of Season 2, and he offered some insight into what to expect:
"Well, there's definitely a big change in setting, that's for sure. And we tried not to change too much the approach of how to tell the story musically. I mean, we used a lot of really great songs in season one. We're going to be using a lot of great songs in season two. We use score in a very meaningful way to support the emotional arcs of all of our characters in season one. We'll be doing that again in season two. There are some new characters that we're going to be having some fun with from a score perspective and that's always fun, coming up with new thematic ideas for new characters and how to underscore them. So there's a lot of new and then there's a lot of the same. It's a lot of both, but it's definitely a thrill ride this year."
If you need a refresher, here is the "I Think We're Alone Now" sequence from Season 1:
First season cast members Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher, Justin H. Min, and Kate Walsh are known to be returning for Season 2. Season 1 also starred Mary J. Blige, Cameron Britton, John Magaro, Adam Godley, and Colm Feore but their odds of returning are… slimmer.
Season 2 also adds three new cast members, Ritu Arya, Yusuf Gatewood, and Marin Ireland. Arya is playing Lila, "a chameleon who can be as brilliant or as clinically insane as the situation requires. Unpredictable, mischievous and sarcastic, Lila's gifted with a twisted sense of humor." Gatewood's character is named Raymond and is described as "a born leader with the smarts, gravitas, and the confidence to never have to prove it to anyone. He is warm, dedicated and has the innate ability to disarm you with a look. A devoted husband, he's the kind of guy everyone wants to know." And Ireland is portraying Sissy, "a fearless, no-nonsense Texas mom who married young for all the wrong reasons. Still in her prime, she's eager to rediscover what life and love have to offer."
According to Blackman, the COVID-19 crisis has not impacted the production of 'The Umbrella Academy', as Russo's work shows. Even so, Netflix has not yet announced when Season 2 will arrive, although it is expected sometime in 2020.

Manchester Creative / Design recruitment agency listing
19 Recruitment Agencies found in Manchester in the Creative / Design industry. View your closest or specialist recruiters by using the Agency Search below.
Outside of London, Manchester is the creative hub of the UK with advertising, design and marketing professionals all finding job opportunities in the North West. The creative industry covers a range of job roles such as account manager, freelance designer and art director, whilst the introduction of MediaCityUK in Salford has also helped boost the local digital sector. Due to the prominence of the field, creative recruitment agencies based in Manchester are needed to source innovative candidates for the permanent, temporary and contract vacancies of their clients.
Although average salaries in the city are typically below that of their London counterparts, they are comparatively greater than those in other leading locations such as Leeds and the Midlands. The average salary for creative personnel is around £30K although this is largely dependent on the job type. A junior digital designer can expect to earn between £20K-£25K, whereas an executive or senior advertising art director can potentially make £100K+ per annum. Other jobs can include business developer, graduate graphic designer and social media operative.
Creative employers in Manchester
Some of the biggest creative employers in the region include TBWA and PR company Weber Shandwick, although MediaCityUK has brought more jobs to the city. The BBC and ITV are perhaps the most high profile inhabitants although an array of SMEs are also responsible for the 15K jobs created there.
Although formal qualifications aren't always necessary to work in a creative role, degrees, diplomas and courses are widely available for technical positions and to improve job prospects. An employer may favour experience over qualifications when looking to hire a studio manager, although a degree in marketing or advertising would benefit the applicant. On the other hand, a career within media technology will require prior training and qualifications from a candidate and these should be highlighted on their CV. A specialist agency based in the region will be best equipped to supply local and creative staff to a Manchester client and assess whether they have the necessary skills to be an asset to the profession.

Girl aged 13 from Truro admits having a knife at school and threatening to kill fellow pupil
A teacher had to use a chair to protect himself and staff against the teenager who was threatening them with a kitchen knife
Hannah Maltwood
Truro Magistrates' Court
A 13-year-old girl took a large kitchen knife from her school and threatened to stab and kill one of her fellow pupils as well as threatening to stab staff members.
Teachers had to wield chairs to defend themselves from the girl as she brandished the knife and said she would stab them, a court heard.
Prosecutors also said that in her rage, the teenager stabbed a white board and other items. She had left handwritten notes saying she was going to stab a fellow pupil and had stabbed someone before.
At a youth court in Truro today (October 16) she pleaded guilty to four serious offences - having an article with a blade or sharp point on school grounds, criminal damage, assault and making threats to kill.
A court order bans the publication of her name or any information that can lead to her being identified.
Prosecutor Graham Calderwood, for the CPS, told the hearing at Truro Magistrates' Court that at about 1.30pm on October 2 there was a report of a knife that had gone missing from a department at the school in the Truro area and that someone had seen the teenager take it and hide it in her bag.
He added that members of staff immediately went to find her and managed to get her into a room away from other students.
Mr Calderwood told the court: "She told members of staff, 'let me out of this room, I'm going to f**king stab you if you don't let me out'."
She then reportedly told staff she was going to stab a student at the school and said, "I hope he dies".
It was also said that she told teachers, "It's not like I haven't done it before".
Mr Calderwood said a male member of staff used a chair to protect himself and his colleagues from advances the girl was making with the knife while she continued to make threats.
The prosecution said that she had then committed criminal damage, stabbing a white board, windowsill and plug socket.
Mr Calderwood added: "There was a struggle in which the knife was taken from her."
Cornwall's police have paid out thousands of pounds for damage caused when they raided the wrong homes
After the knife - a 30cm kitchen knife with an 18cm blade and a grey plastic handle - was taken away from the teenager she was said to "remain agitated" and picked up a chair and threw it across the room.
Her grandmother was then called to the school.
During the incident, the teenager from Truro also head-butted a female member of staff twice.
When police arrived they discovered a number of notes written by the girl. As well as writing that she was going to stab a pupil, Mr Claderwood the notes made admissions to another stabbing.
When interviewed by the police, the girl said that at the time of the offences she was very angry. She added that she had stolen the knife with the intention of going to the canteen to stab a pupil.
She told the police that she accepted that she had a weapon on school premises and threatened staff.
The prosecutor said that when police asked if she meant the threats she had made, she said: "I don't know, probably. I was mad."
The court also heard that the girl had been charged with assault in March this year and there was a community resolution for the offence.
More than 300 Devon and Cornwall police have not been vetted properly, inspectors say
Her solicitor Elliot Moore said that although she had been charged with four offences on this occasion and had a previous charge of assault, the five offences were only on two separate occasions and argued that because of this "she cannot be considered a prolific young offender".
District judge DJ Baker agreed with this assertion and said that because of the seriousness of the charges the girl's age, her "hands were tied" as to what sentence she would be able to give.
She said: "There is no doubt it will be an intensive referral."
The girl, who appeared via a video link from a youth detention centre, pleaded guilty to all charges, however she is unlikely to be sentenced for another few weeks.
A psychological assessment will be undertaken before sentencing.
The girl's mother, father and grandmother were present in court.
Her mum told the court: "I think it would be a very sensible option for her, mainly for her safety and welfare. I do feel a little bit that she has been completely let down."
She added: "She was on medication from eight-years-old for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)."
Her mum confirmed that the teenager had been diagnosed with ADHD when she was eight and with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) within the past two years.
Ms Baker confirmed that a full report following a psychological exam would be helpful in deciding the girl's sentence.
She said: "If this was an adult it would be going to Crown Court and I would expect a sentence of a number of years."
An application for bail was denied.

The girl, who was wearing a blue T-shirt, looked visibly upset by the decision.
The judge said: "I know that you very much wanted to come home to your gran today. That's not going happen."
The next hearing will take place on October 23.
The judge added: "We will see in a weeks' time where your solicitor will apply for bail again. I am remanding you on the same ground as before."
The teenager is not expected to be sentenced for a further few weeks.

Potatoes and chicken are seasoned generously with adobo seasoning and garlic. A good garlic chicken recipe for those of you who love garlic.
Slice the potatoes into thick strips like steak fries, and layer them in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and dust with 1 tablespoons of the adobo seasoning. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes. Drizzle the remaining olive oil onto the chicken, and sprinkle the rest of the adobo seasoning. Sprinkle the sliced garlic around the chicken.
Bake, uncovered for 1 hour, or until the chicken is no longer pink, and the juices run clear. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should be 175 degrees F (79 degrees C). If the chicken becomes too dark before it has finished cooking, cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Dallas Cowboys Manhandled by The Denver Broncos 30-16
Alex McCray 2021-11-08
Denver Bronco #53 LB Jonathon Cooper sacks Dak PrescottMatthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports
The Dallas Cowboys 6-1 came into Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos 4-4 riding a six-game win streak. Dak Prescott made his return after sitting out last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings. The Denver Broncos came into the game without their newly traded LB Von Miller to the LA Rams and a not-so-healthy QB Teddy Bridgewater.
The Dallas Cowboys immediately came out with a big play RB Tony Pollard made a spectacular opening kick-off run breaking tackles spinning down to the Bronco 47 to start their opening drive. But the Bronco defense stopped them on fourth and 1 at the Bronco 39.
After a quick three and out on defense, punctuated by a sack by DT Carlos Watkins, The Cowboys drove down the field on a big catch and run by Amari Cooper on a third and 2 for 32 yards. On another fourth down this time needing 2 yards. Dak Prescott's pass was deflected to halt the drive again in Bronco territory.
Denver took over on offense and produced a touchdown on an impressive drive running the ball with power by both running backs. Melvin Gordon plunged the ball in on a three-yard run off the left tackle. The extra point was missed giving the Broncos a 6 nothing lead.
Denver continued their hot start with great blocking giving their running backs nice holes to run through and pass blocking. After getting in Cowboy territory, QB Teddy Bridgewater went deep hitting WR Tim Patrick for the touchdown beating Cowboy CB Trevon Diggs for a 44-yard touchdown. After the extra point by PK Brandon McManus, the Broncos took a surprising 13-0 lead.
The Cowboys couldn't get anything going on offense and punted back to the Broncos. On the ensuing possession, Denver methodically drove down the field running the ball down the Cowboys' defense throat. The defense was finally able to stop the Broncos' drive on a Micah Parsons sack on third down. Denver settled for a PK Brandon McManus 53 yard field goal to extend the lead to 16-0.
The Denver Broncos dominated the Dallas Cowboys in the first half shutting out the number one offense in the league 16-0. They did it by running roughshod over the Cowboys gaining 96 yards on 17 carries. Teddy Bridgewater managed a great first half going 12-16 for 154 yards and a touchdown. Dak Prescott struggled to go 5-14 for 75 yards.
The Cowboys' defense came out in the second half fired up. Micah Parsons collected his second and a half-sack. The Cowboys blocked the Bronco punt but a Cowboy touched the ball past the line of scrimmage and a Bronco recovered the ball. Denver dodged a bullet on that play. Denver took advantage of power running and big catch-and-run plays to drive down the field and make another field goal by PK Brandon McManus from 27 yards out. The Broncos took a commanding 19-0 lead with 8:08 left in the third quarter.
The Broncos' defense once again stopped the Cowboys on fourth down, this time in the Cowboys' own territory at the 40-yard line. Amari Cooper dropped a ball for a first down on third and Prescott overthrew CeeDee Lamb on fourth down. Denver PK Brandon McManus missed a 53-yard field goal for what would have put the Broncos up 22-0.
The Denver Broncos put the game out of reach with a Teddy Bridgewater 1 yard quarterback sneak and two-point conversion on a Bridgewater pass to WR Courtland Sutton to give the Broncos an insurmountable 27-0 lead.
After a Denver Bronco Caden Sterns interception of Dallas QB Dak Prescott, the Denver Broncos tacked on a 42-yard field goal by PK Brandon McManus to give the Broncos an unbelievable 30-0 lead. Dallas finally put points on the board with 4:08 remaining in the game and a two-point conversion on an Ezekiel Elliott run off the left end, to avoid being shut out making the score 30-8.
Dallas made the game a little bit more respectable on a 4 yard Prescott TD pass to WR Malik Turner. Dak Prescott ran up the middle for the two-point conversion with 55 seconds remaining in the game to make the score 30-16.
The Denver Broncos manhandled the Dallas Cowboys on offense and defense in a game the Cowboys will just as soon forget. Denver came in more physical, more focussed, and determined. It showed on the field all game long. The final score was Denver Broncos 30 Dallas 16. But it wasn't that close, Denver simply blew the Dallas Cowboys out.
Next up for the Dallas Cowboys now 6-2 they will host the 4-4 Atlanta Falcons Sun, Nov 14, 12:00 PM @ AT&T Stadium.
Until next time, be safe and take of yourself.

The big question was could backup QB Cooper Rush making his first NFL start manage the game and the vaulted Cowboys defense led by the best defensive player so far in the NFL CB Trevon Diggs, rookie sensation LB Micah Parsons, and veteran DE Randy Gregory continue their stellar play to keep the Vikings under control.

The Cowboys 3/1 came into their third straight home game at AT&T Stadium against arch-rival New York Giants 1/3 riding a three-game win streak. This game though had a special meaning for the Cowboys and especially QB Dak Prescott. It was almost exactly a year ago today (364 days) that Dak Prescott suffered what some thought was possibly a career-ending leg injury on this field against these New York Giants. The injury to his right ankle came on a 9-yard run when Giants DB Logan Ryan tackled Prescott with 6:16 left in the third quarter.

The Cowboys run game has been stellar the last two weeks. While Dak Prescott has been nothing short of superb and let's not forget the defense with rookie sensation Micah Parson and reigning NFC Defensive Player of the month CB Trevon Diggs with his league-leading 3 interceptions. The question is how will they match up against the undefeated Carolina Panthers and their upstart Sam Darnold and the highly vaunted Panther defense.

text:
Lingua franca, numită și franco sau sabir, a fost o limbă vehiculară mixtă folosită în bazinul Mării Mediterane, mai ales în porturi. După unele presupuneri, ar fi apărut deja în timpul cruciadelor (secolele XI-XIII), dar s-a răspândit mai ales începând cu perioada dominației economice a Veneției și a Genovei (secolul al XIII-lea), și s-a folosit până pe la mijlocul secolului al XIX-lea. Era folosită mai ales de negustorii europeni în contactele cu cei turci și arabi, dar și de marinari, precum și de diplomații francezi cu guvernanții din Alger și Tunis înainte de cucerirea franceză. A fost însușită și de creștini capturați de pirați musulmani din aceste teritorii și vânduți ca sclavi aici, și folosită cu cei care îi țineau captivi.

În general se consideră că lingua franca este aceeași limbă care a existat cu denumirea sabir. Denumirea lingua franca este latinească și italiană, fiind după unii autori, la origine, denumirea limbii latine medievale. După alții, atributul franca vine de la numele de "franci" dată europenilor în Orientul Apropiat. Termenul sabir provine de la verbul saber "a ști" din spaniolă, portugheză, catalană și occitană.

Atât denumirea lingua franca, cât și denumirea sabir au primit și sensuri mai largi, inclusiv ca termeni lingvistici. Lingua franca se folosește și cu sensul general de limbă vehiculară, adică folosită în comunicarea între vorbitori cu limbi materne diferite, inclusiv dacă nu este o limbă mixtă. În lingvistica franceză, termenul sabir se folosește și în sensul de limbă vehiculară, dar numai mixtă, iar în limbajul francez comun are și sensul peiorativ de limbaj format din elemente heteroclite, greu de înțeles.

Caracteristici

Unii autori consideră că lingua franca sau sabir-ul este primul pidgin atestat, singurul pidgin romanic, în sensul că are lexic preponderent romanic, dar alții o deosebesc de pidginuri, care se formează de regulă numai între două limbi, sau între mai multe, dar având o singură limbă suprastrat.

Lingua franca sau sabirul mediteranean se caracterizează în primul rând prin numărul relativ mare al limbilor de proveniență a lexicului, dintre care nu se poate identifica numai una ca suprastrat. De aici generalizarea în lingvistica franceză a termenului "sabir" la limbile de acest tip, care sunt prin aceasta diferite de pidginuri. Lingua franca are cuvinte mai ales din limbi romanice: italiană, spaniolă, catalană, occitană, franceză și portugheză. Mai are și cuvinte din greacă, turcă și arabă, văzute ca împrumuturi, dacă lingua franca se consideră o limbă romanică. În schimb, numărul de domenii semantice reprezentate este foarte redus, în general la comerț și la navigație. De aceea este considerată limbă comercială, în același sens ca și pidginurile.

Această limbă nu era unitară, ci avea mai multe varietăți regionale. De exemplu, la Tunis era mai apropiată de italiană, iar la Alger – de spaniolă.

Structura sa gramaticală este rudimentară, sintaxa ei constând din câteva reguli de combinare a cuvintelor. Este mult mai analitică decât limbile sursă, ceea ce se manifestă prin următoarele trăsături:
 Nu distinge numerele substantivelor prin terminații: Questi Signor star amigo di mi "Acești domni sunt prieteni de-ai mei" (lit. "Acești domn a fi prieten de eu").
 Numai adjectivele terminate în -o au și formă de feminin: bono, bona "bun, bună", dar prudente "prudent, prudentă".
 Pronumele personale nu au forme aparte pentru subiect și pentru complemente. De pildă mi înseamnă și "eu", și "pe mine".
 În ceea ce privește verbul:
 Exprimă numai două timpuri prin forme simple:
 Prezentul este exprimat prin forma romanică de infinitiv, dar terminat numai în -ar sau în -ir, ex. mi andar "(eu) merg", ti andar "(tu) mergi" etc.
 Trecutul are forma romanică de participiu: mi andato "am mers".
 Are formă personală unică, distincția de persoană făcându-se numai prin subiectul exprimat prin cuvânt aparte. De exemplu, verbul andar "a merge" are formele: mi andar, ti andar, ellou/ella andar, noi andar, voi andar, elli andar.
 Participiul are și formă de feminin, terminațiile sale fiind -ato, -ata sau -ito, -ita (ex. fazito, fazita "făcut, făcuți, făcută, făcute").
 Acțiunea viitoare și cea dorită se exprimă cu aceeași perifrază: bisogno mi andar "voi merge" sau "să merg" (lit. "nevoie eu a merge").
 Porunca, îndemnul se exprimă prin infinitiv fără pronume personal: andar! "du-te!, să mergem!"
 Verbul star "a fi" este și auxiliar de diateza pasivă.

Fonetismul acestei limbi este cel mai apropiat de cel al limbii italiene.

Atestări

Lingua franca era orală. Apare totuși în scris în mod fragmentar, mai ales în pasaje mai mult sau mai puțin fanteziste din unele comedii, de Carlo Goldoni, Lope de Vega, Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Molière. În Burghezul gentilom al acestuia din urmă există un exemplu fidel de text:

O sursă scrisă mai detaliată despre lingua franca este o mică lucrare apărută în 1830 fără numele autorului, care cuprinde o prefață cu o descriere sumară a limbii, un mic dicționar bilingv cu franceza și un ghid de conversație. Lucrarea se limita la lingua franca vorbită în Alger și era destinată francezilor care mergeau acolo ca să cucerească viitoarea colonie.
