3I/ATLAS is just the third interstellar object ever detected in our solar system. What makes it unusual is that, instead of behaving like a normal comet, it glows strangely, spins very quickly, and might even produce its own light. Although NASA classifies it as a comet, one scientist, Loeb, thinks there’s a significant possibility – around 40% – that it could actually be a piece of artificial technology.

Arc Raiders is a type of game called an extraction shooter. What’s interesting about this genre is how diverse it’s become, especially compared to battle royale games like Fortnite, Warzone, and PUBG. Those games all feel pretty similar under the surface, but extraction shooters like Wildgate, Hunt: Showdown, and Escape from Tarkov are all quite different from each other. They all create a constant tension for players: do you risk everything for better loot, or play it safe and escape with what you have? It’s a decision based on instinct and feeling, more than careful planning.

Players can compete in elimination-style tournaments, going head-to-head with both real NBA players and imaginative, made-up characters. The game combines traditional basketball action with unique and surprising pairings. Longtime NBA Street announcer Bobbito Garcia is back to call the games.

The beautiful soundtrack for Breath of the Wild was created by Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata, Hajime Wakai, and Soshi Abe. You can listen to it on the Nintendo Music app, but you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online membership to stream it.

Now that the deal is done, South Park will remain on Paramount for the next five years, instead of HBO Max. And creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are delivering a particularly exciting Season 27.

Mississippi wildlife officers are helping local police with a search, and an animal removal service is also assisting. They are looking for a monkey that is still missing.

Dragon Quest I & II HD Remake brings the first two games of the Erdrick trilogy to modern platforms with updated graphics – Square Enix’s signature 2D characters over 3D backgrounds. After revisiting these games after over 20 years, I was impressed by how much work went into updating them, including improved gameplay and expanded storylines with more dialogue and events. However, even with these improvements, one game in the collection is noticeably better than the other, though neither quite reaches the quality of the previous Dragon Quest release.
