War Sails is adding exciting naval battles, realistic and changing weather, a new Nord faction, and lots of ships you can personalize. As usual, there’s likely to be one ship that’s significantly stronger than all the others – the kind that instantly turns the tide of battle. I think I’ve discovered what that ship is.
The Dancer is a special armor class you unlock at level 20. It’s a valuable piece of gear because it has a guaranteed perk: it doubles the effectiveness of your Overdrive bonuses. That’s a significant boost to your power!
The next chapter in the ongoing story of *Star Trek Online*, titled “Best Laid Plans,” will be released with the *Unleashed* update. Players will join forces with Hugh, the leader of the Borg Cooperative, and Seven of Nine to capture a key figure from the Aetherians – a powerful group that exists across multiple universes. Jonathan del Arco and Jeri Ryan, the original actors who portrayed Hugh and Seven in *Star Trek*, reprise their roles and provide the voices for these characters.

I have a lot of issues with the movie *Ice Road: Vengeance*, particularly its story about a trucker driving to Mount Everest to scatter his brother’s ashes. But one thing about it really frustrates me, and I want to tell you what it is.
The beginning of the “New Year, New U” episode quickly reminds us of what happened at the end of the previous season of *The Boys*, focusing on how those larger events are playing out at Godolkin University. Many conservative students and those who believe supes are superior already think Robert Singer and Starlight worked together to kill Victoria Neuman, and this conspiracy is being used as justification for Homelander’s power grab. Now, Godolkin University is presented as being rid of progressive ideas and is run entirely by supes, including a new, unsettling dean named Cipher (played brilliantly by Hamish Linklater). These ideas clearly mirror current efforts by right-wing leaders to change American universities.

I recently spoke with Nick Giacomini, the new game director for The Elder Scrolls Online, and Rich Lambert, who is now studio director, to talk about the game’s history, current state, and what’s coming next. Rich Lambert has a long history with the Elder Scrolls series, starting at Bethesda Game Studios in 2004 with Oblivion. He’s been involved with ESO for an incredible 18 years, counting from the very beginning of its development. He was actually the second person hired onto the ESO team, after Matt Firor, the former head of ZeniMax Online Studios who left following the cancellation of a different MMO the studio was working on.
