A federal appeals court has rejected the FTC's appeal of a ruling that denied its request for a preliminary injunction against the deal, saying the lower court applied the "correct legal standard" and that the FTC has not demonstrated that it...

Hoo, boy. Alright, let's see here. Yesterday, an otherwise unremarkable Tuesday rapidly became confusing for Elden Ring-heads and people looking at particular corners of the internet when Nexus Point News, an entertainment news site, published an article claiming that Annihilation and Civil War director Alex Garland is set to direct an Elden Ring film adaptation for production company A24.Though it probably goes without saying, the story seemed peculiar—and not just...

For those Skyrim fans who stepped into the game expecting something similar, I'm sorry to tell you that Oblivion is a different beast entirely.Whether it's trying to overcome the game's inscrutable persuasion or lockpick minigames, or working out how the hell you became a...
