With most European leagues coming out of the winter break, thereby leading to a reduced January fixture list, here are my top five nominations for the January Goalkeeper of the Month. Christian Wetklo, FSV Mainz (Germany) Picking up where he left off with Mainz’s 3-1 victory over Stuttgart in December, Wetklo has been an integral part of the Bundesliga‘s surprise package this season and he was in inspired form as he kept two clean sheets in as many appearances as his side earned a point against Freiburg at home before thrashing Greuther Furth 3-0 on their travels....

The removal of QTEs isn’t without replacement, however, as Kratos and his son can team up to deliver some powerful combinations. With the various weapons in the game, such as this potentially returning series staple, this should hopefully serve as a good combat replacement, wherein the comparison to FIFA comes into context. When speaking about the combat, Barlog compared the play style of the two games: While fans will have to wait and see how exactly Barlog’s comments reflect the gameplay, it does sound like the team at Sony Santa Monica is trying to give players a lot of tools and let them run wild....

Furthermore, when pressed for extra details, Barlog explained that in the new God of War, Kratos’ son is well aware of his father’s demigod status, but has no clue about his past. With this being the case, it might explain why Kratos was more subdued than usual in what was shown during the title’s E3 2016 gameplay footage, as he could be attempting to make amends for his past and move forward to a future of redemption....

While the photo mode in God of War has an expansive array of features for players to jump into, there are some nuances of photography that might keep players from getting the best possible screenshots out of the game. This is where photographer Mir_or_Image comes in, with a recent video from the creator’s YouTube series Photo Mode Perspective, which gives an in-depth analysis of photo modes in different games....

RELATED: God Of War Ragnarok: How Many Playable Characters Are There? Progressing through Vanaheim can take quite a bit of time, especially if one hopes to obtain all the collectibles along the way. As if this wasn’t bad enough, the level is also crawling with some bafflingly powerful enemies. Kratos and Freya need to work together to conquer God of War Ragnarok’s sixth chapter, but they struggle to see eye to eye....

This article will discuss the link between diabetes and glaucoma, including how to treat and manage the conditions simultaneously. Connection Between Glaucoma and Diabetes Diabetes, if not properly managed, can lead to vision problems. High blood glucose (sugar) levels can affect the fluid levels in your eye tissues, which may lead to swelling. This swelling can cause blurred vision. The vision impairment caused by swollen eye tissue is usually temporary and resolves once blood glucose levels return to normal....

It gets worse. Over the past several weeks, a series of court rulings and shareholder votes have gone against foreign activist investors who had been pressing managements to improve. And Japan certainly needs activists. Currently, less than one fifth of profits are paid out to shareholders. One recent request for an electric power utility to hike its dividend for the first time this century was rejected on the ground that a “stable dividend” is preferable to a growing dividend....

During the recent Twitch livestream of the Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz online chess tournament, the chair of Norwegian chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen was conspicuously empty. For the first several seconds of the stream, the commentators of the event had no explanation for the occurrence and could only speculate that perhaps Carlsen had gotten confused because the starting time differed from that of a previous event.

According to U.S. government statistics, 26 percent of American schoolchildren ages 5 to 9 spent time on computers while at school in 2001. Yet very little independently funded research has been commissioned to examine what impact computers have on children’s cognitive and emotional development. “Technology was put into American schools with very little planning, forethought or educational rationale,” Healy says. “My concern is that this is very powerful technology, the effects of which we don’t really know....

God of War has some truly despicable people even by that standard. By their actions, one would guess they haven’t a shred of human decency. Good thing they’re technically not human. 7 Cronos The one who begins the cycle of sons killing fathers, this Titan fears a prophecy of his children overthrowing him....

While Santa Monica Studio’s silence has fueled the demand for news, several recent headlines have arguably stoked those calls even more. Against a backdrop of delays, spearheaded by Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, some fans are concerned that God of War :Ragnarok could also slip from its ambiguous 2022 release date. Based on a number of factors, it seems unlikely that the game will get pushed back again....

The weapons Kratos wields have had a tremendous impact on his character development and the overall narrative. By putting such meaningful weapons in its games, Santa Monica has truly leaned into and cemented Kratos’ identity as the God of War. Where a weapon like the Blades of Chaos is a painful reminder of the loss Kratos has endured, the Leviathan Axe is a reminder of his wife and the importance of family....

God of War Director Cory Barlog has become a prominent member of the gaming industry and built a large presence online. Since the release of God of War, Barlog has become practically a household name in the video game industry. A tweet from the director had many fans hoping for news of a God of War sequel, though fans shouldn’t get their hopes up. RELATED: The 5 Best Armor Sets In God Of War PS4 (& The 5 Worst)...

God of War has reached many PlayStation fans since it was released in 2018, selling 19.5 million copies on PS4 and garnering high acclaim across the gaming industry. Now that God of War is coming to PC, a new audience of gamers will have access to the Santa Monica Studios title. In addition to appearing on the Epic Games Store when it comes to PC, God of War is also currently available for pre-order on Steam....

In total, God of War Ragnarok features 70 different accessibility options. These options include gameplay-impacting options including aim assist and lock-on cameras, as well as evade assist and camera centering. There are also options for puzzle hints and wider windows for button presses. For the most part, though, the accessibility features are focused on those who may have vision or hearing issues or who struggle with precise button presses. Santa Monica Studio wants God of War Ragnarok accessible to all players....

As anyone who has beaten God of War Ragnarok and found themselves in the endgame will know, players rescue “Tyr” early on who preaches peace instead of war, refusing to fight alongside Kratos and Atreus until one moment later in the game, where his entire personality shifts. Brok calls Tyr out, and in annoyance, Tyr kills Brok, revealing himself to have been Odin the entire time. This is how Odin was able to keep tabs on Kratos and Atreus as the story developed, and just about no one saw this plot twist coming....

God of War Ragnarok also has the added advantage of all nine realism being available, at least in narrative moments if not in exploration, while God of War featured much fewer. Not as much time is spent in God of War Ragnarok’s Midgard as players may have previously believed, and it would be easy to assume that the sheer number of realms players go to would depreciate the quality that each possess....

With the power of the PS5 at God of War’s disposal, everything from loading times to the freedom of having no polygon limits in engines like Unreal Engine 5, Santa Monica Studios is looking at near limitless possibilities. Not to mention, the incredible strides that 2018’s God of War took to bring the series from the PS2 and PS3 eras and utilize PS4 technology to the best of its ability means that the developer has already proven what it is capable of, and here’s a few things it could to keep that trend going....

This is a season of joy and consternation at the OLPC program. The nonprofit project has nearly completed the three-pound green-and-white plastic XO, and it is a design and tech triumph. You can feel the excitement at the company’s Cambridge, Mass., headquarters, where tables are stacked with working prototypes (and other units are cooking in 140-degree ovens to simulate conditions in the Nigerian desert). I’ve been playing with the laptop for a couple of days, and this is no hand-me-down for poor kids in struggling countries....
