The laptop is actually found within the Business section of Dell’s site, and its on-site support and choice of operating systems mean that the Latitude 3340 may appeal to some business users that want a budget laptop for office work. It’s not the most elegant laptop that we’ve seen lately. The dark-grey plastic casing looks distinctly old-fashioned, as does the chunky plastic bezel that runs around the 13.3-inch screen. The laptop also measures a full 34 mm thick along the rear edge, so it’s certainly no Ultrabook, although a weight of 1....

Other recent examples that showcase the popularity of video game interpretations of tabletop gaming is Gearbox Software’s Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, a fantasy-themed RPG that incorporates both elements of the Borderlands series and Dungeons and Dragons.

The statement was reposted to Golden’s official website on Wednesday....

With votes still be tabulated in a number of key battleground states, Dave Wasserman, the Cook Political Report’s U.S. House editor, predicted that the “Dems’ dreams of holding the House majority probably died” on Sunday night as Republicans picked up the leads in two districts in Arizona and one in California....

However, the party might be betting on the wrong issue. The six-figure ad buy—first reported by Politico—depicts O’Halleran’s Republican challenger Eli Crane as “radical and dangerous” for his uncompromising support of anti-abortion measures even in instances of rape and incest, as well as the Trump-endorsed Crane’s myriad allusions over the years to white supremacist ideologies and right-wing militia movements outlined in a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee research memo earlier this fall....

Demon’s Souls played an incredibly important role as the precursor to Dark Souls, but despite this, it never caught on in the same ways as its spiritual sequel. Bluepoint Games seeks to change that by reviving the title for next generation hardware, and fans can expect to see a massive leap in both graphics and gameplay as a result. Of course, the Demon’s Souls remake isn’t even out yet, so there likely aren’t any plans for a sequel of any kind just yet, but it can be fun to theorize what that might look like should it perform well....
