Can't get enough of Warframe? Digital Extremes are today pushing out the renewed open-world Warframe Landscape, Plains of Eidolon Remaster.
Rolling out to Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch players, the Plains of Eidolon Remaster promises Warframe players the chance to take in some new visual goodies.
With a full graphical overhaul using the graphics technology created for last fall's Fortuna, Plains of Eidolon Remaster delivers dynamic lighting, textures and atmosphere, resurfaced terrain for better K-Drive Hoverboard action, and introduces conservation and a new Grineer menace, the wily Tusk Thumpers.
The Plains of Eidolon Remaster is free to download on consoles from today and will enhance all visual aspects. Warframe's open world will see advanced lightning techniques that bring brilliant lighting and shadow changes to the day-night cycle, sending god rays through more detailed trees, bush and fog, and will add crisp new texture details to the foliage and earthen landscape.
For the K-Drive, players will experience new terrain to jump off and grind on, and should be wary of the new Tusk Thumper enemies, three different pneumatic ground-pounders that smash anything in their way. Tenno can now earn a new badge for hunting and conserving three new animals on the Plains — previously only available on Fortuna — and special Floofs with which to decorate their Orbiters.
If you are into Warframe, then this can only be good news and you should be found firing up your game right now in order to check out the Plains of Eidolon goodness. Should you have not yet fallen into the expansive world it brings, then make sure you check out the latest trailer below to get a full understanding of what is included.
Should you like what you see then the Xbox Store will happily provide the free download of the full game so you can try it for yourself.


The great city of Los Angeles was founded in 1781. It was called El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula. (Our Lady the Queen of the angels of Porcincula). At first there was only a handful of families but by 1800 it had a population of 315. The Plaza Catholic Church was built in 1822. The settlement of Los Angeles grew steadily. Then in 1847 US forces captured Los Angeles.
With the discovery of gold in California in 1848 Americans rushed to live in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. In 1850 Los Angeles was incorporated. Then in 1851 Los Angeles gained its first newspaper. By 1870 the population of Los Angeles had risen to 5,614. However in the winter of 1861-1862 Los Angeles suffered severe floods. That was followed by two years of drought. Nevertheless Los Angeles recovered.
In the late 19th century many people migrated to Southern California for the sake of their health. The climate was believed to heal or at least improve many conditions. Meanwhile from the 1870s the orange industry in California boomed. In 1874 the first streetcar began operating in Los Angeles. Then in 1876 Los Angeles was connected to San Francisco by railroad. Furthermore the University of Southern California was founded in 1880. In 1892 oil was discovered in Los Angeles. As a result the city grew very rapidly and by 1900 the population of Los Angeles was over 100,000. Meanwhile the Bradbury Building was built in 1893.
During the early 20th century Los Angeles continued to boom and by the early 1920s it had overtaken San Francisco in size. By 1939 it had a population of over 1.5 million. The Biltmore Hotel was built in 1923. Also in 1923 the famous Hollywood sign was first erected. Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel was built in 1927. City Hall was built in 1928. Union Station was built in 1939.
However like the rest of the world Los Angeles suffered during the depression of the 1930s. Between 1935 and 1939 many 'Okies' fleeing the dust bowl fled to the Los Angeles region. Los Angeles boomed again during World War II (although its Japanese citizens were interned). However all did not go smoothly in Los Angeles in the 20th century. In the summer of 1943 there were riots called the Zoot Suit riots in which Mexicans were attacked.
Then in 1965 Los Angeles was again rocked by riots. On 11 August police stopped and questioned an African American. In the ensuing riots 34 people were killed. In 1992 4 police officers beat an African American driver named Rodney King. However at their trial the officers were acquitted. The result was 3 days of rioting during which left 58 people were killed. In 1994 Los Angeles was struck by an earthquake. It measured 6.7 on the Richter Scale. The earthquake killed 57 people and injured thousands. It also caused billions of dollars of damage.
Yet Los Angeles soon recovered. Many famous buildings were erected in Los Angeles in the late 20th century and the early 21st. Watts Towers was built in 1954 by Simon Rodia. Theme Building was erected in 1961. US Bank Tower was built in 1989. The first light rail line opened in 1990.
Meanwhile in the late 20th century manufacturing industry in Los Angeles declined. However service industries boomed. Tourism is now a flourishing industry in Los Angeles. A Museum of Tolerance opened in 1993. Los Angeles is also a thriving financial center. In the late 20th century the Hispanic population of Los Angeles grew dramatically. Meanwhile the percentage of white non-Hispanics fell.
In the 21st century Los Angeles continues to thrive. The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels opened in 2002. Walt Disney Concert Hall was built in 2003. The Special Olympics Summer Games were held in Los Angeles in 2015. In 2017 the population of Los Angeles was 4 million.

"Can You Get Rich"
That's Rich Slot Features
That's Rich Overview
Get ready to experience the lifestyle of the rich and the famous with Play'n Go's popular slot game, That's Rich. The game whisks you away from your life and allows you to get a taste of what it's like to be one of the super-rich. With a handful of bonus features and some stylish graphics on display, this is a really fun slot. Let's find out a little bit more about it.
That's Rich invites you to get a taste of how the other half lives. The game is a celebration of all of the things wealth can buy, and this is reflected through its lavish design and stylish graphic. The slot itself is set on what appears to be the luxurious balcony of an apartment overlooking the sea. The whole presentation is drenched in the sunset's beautiful glow taking place in the background.
The symbols here are also representative of that lifestyle. The standard poker symbols are all set on diamonds, and you can also find a beautiful woman sipping on champagne, a luxurious yacht, wads of cash, and a fashionable handbag on the reels as well.
The soundtrack for the slot is suitably sophisticated, and there are some fun little sound effects triggered whenever you are lucky enough to score a big win or trigger the game's bonus round.
That's Rich Game Promotions
That's Rich is not an online slot game full to the brim with special features and bonus rounds, but the ones it does offer have some cool benefits.
The slot features a fairly standard bonus symbol that can be substituted for all other symbols to create a winning combination. This bonus symbol also acts as an expanding wild though and can expand to fill up an entire reel. This can then lead to some pretty big winning combinations being secured.
As well as this, the slot also features a free spins round. This is triggered whenever players manage to secure three scatter symbols on their reels. When this happens, players are rewarded with five free spins. This is no normal free spins round though; this is the 'win spins' round.
The game ensures that each of the five spins that you take will score a winning combination, which, in itself, is more than enough to compensate for the lack of bonuses in the game. Players can also trigger more free spins during this round. The maximum amount that a player can win is 19 win spins.
That's Rich How to Play
You don't have to be super-wealthy to understand how to play That's Rich. The slot has a very simple set-up – there are five reels and ten pay lines. The first thing players will need to do when they start up the slot is to select their stake using the +/- buttons at the bottom of the page. The minimum that can be wagered is $0.10, while the maximum is $100.
Once you have done this, you can hit the spin button and see what the game has in store for you. In terms of winning potential, the biggest win is 10,000x your stake. The RTP for the game is 96.27%, and it is a high volatility title.
That's Rich on Mobile
If you want to try your luck on That's Rich slot on your mobile device, then you're in luck. The title has been optimised to run on a range of different mobile devices including those on both Android and iOS operating systems. It runs smoothly on mobile browsers, and there is no difference between the mobile and desktop versions.
Best Casino To Play: That's Rich
That's Rich Conclusion
Unique Theme
No Real Multiplier
While the lack of bonus features may turn some players off from playing this slot, the fact that the bonus round guarantees wins is a huge selling point. The win spin bonus can be incredibly lucrative, and while the slot doesn't offer the biggest wins, it can still be a great way of making some cash. The slot is also very well-designed, and it looks fantastic regardless of what size screen you are playing it on.

Victor Hagan Published: October 26, 2022
The West Alabama Food Bank kicked off "Imagine West Alabama!", its 5-year campaign and capital plan to alleviate hunger at a reception last week.
Approximately 75 civic and community leaders throughout West Alabama attended the event in support of the $10 million plan to alleviate hunger in the area.
Imagine West Alabama! will run from 2022 through 2026 and aims to increase the organization's capacity, starting with a location change from the nonprofit's home in Northport to a larger space in Tuscaloosa.
The Food Bank purchased a 10-acre property formerly owned by Buffalo Rock Company and sold their old space earlier this year. Renovations in the new space are underway and The Food Bank plans to relocate by the end of the year.
The campaign's goal is to raise at least $3.77 million with a stretch goal of $5 million in support of the overall $10 million plan. David Popen, campaign director thanked the 18-member campaign cabinet leadership team who gave their time to ensure the campaign's success. He also announced that the food bank has already raised almost $2 million in cash and multi-year pledges from 38 public and private donors.
"Last year alone, we operated programs that distributed more than 4.8 million pounds of food to people in need. The year before almost 6 million pounds," said Jean Rykaczewski, CEO of The West Alabama Food Bank during the event, "Despite tripling food distribution since 2015, current and anticipated demand by food insecure children, young people, adults, and seniors in our service area will grow significantly. Relocating to a new, larger campus is critical to our growth."
Rykaczewski also said The Food Bank has been "forced to turn away truckloads of available food requiring cold storage" because of a lack of storage. So the new, larger location will allow for additional staff and programming to the community.
In addition to the new space, the new plan also includes SNAP services, a Food Pharmacy, a teaching kitchen and an outdoor community garden in the new location.
"We plan to host ongoing cooking demonstrations and classes in collaboration with community partners," said, "We will add critical staff in the areas of food sourcing, delivery, and child services."
For more information on how to support the West Alabama Food Bank and its Imagine West Alabama! plan and campaign, please contact David Popen, Campaign Director at 615-788-4841 or Dpopen@ccc.fund or visit www.westalabamafoodbank.org.
