How Pokemon Go Fest 2018 Will Avoid the Problems of Last Year

This morning, Pokemon Go developer Niantic announced that despite last year’s troubles, it will once again hold Pokemon Go Fest this year.

Why Dying Light Co-op Was the Perfect Way to Stay Close to My Brother

We were just finishing up a long mission and were heading back to one of the hubs, hoping to reach it ahead of the looming night, during which Dying Light’s most dangerous threats appear. On this final stretch we had to pass through a tunnel, populated with the inevitable dozen or so zombies, but nothing out of the ordinary or too risky. We should have known better. Halfway through, we discovered it was filled with our most feared and dreaded enemy in Dying Light - Volatiles. Going up against just one could be a challenge, even with two of us coordinating; but there were dozens of them.

We decided the only way through was to camouflage ourselves in zombie guts (one of the many perks you can attain as you upgrade). As we slowly walked through the terrifying pack, trying to avoid bumping into any of them, we knew it was only a matter of time before they caught on, so as soon as we were through the main group, we ran for our lives.

Egypt: Scans Reveals No Hidden Rooms in King Tut’s Tomb

The latest scans of King Tutankhamun's burial chamber have put to bed notions of any hidden rooms or corridors.

The results were shared at the fourth International Tutankhamun Conference in Cairo by the Polytechnic University of Turin's Francesco Porcelli who explained the team's work "shows in a conclusive manner that there are no hidden chambers, no corridors adjacent to Tutankhamun’s tomb”.

The rumours of hidden rooms surfaced in 2015 when British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves thought queen Nefertiti's tomb might be hidden on the other side of a painting after high-definition laser scans were performed.

WWE Backlash Results and Live Discussion Thread

It's been a hella busy month in the world o' WWE!

We had WrestleMania 34, then the RAW and SmackDown after Mania, then the Superstar Shakeup, and most recently The Greatest Royal Rumble - the latter being more of a glorified house show than the loaded PPV-style event many thought it might be.

Now we've made it to Backlash - a dual-branded PPV (as they'll all be going forward). Will this event - despite not having Cena, Undertaker, Triple H, Brock, or a giant Rumble match - move the needle at all? Well, in the very least it'll have three women's matches, right?
