But it seems like for many AAA titles, the full $60 purchase is not enough and games seem to be riddled with microtransactions. Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford confirmed that Borderlands 3 will indeed have microtransactions. Fortunately, the microtransactions will only be limited to cosmetics and skins. There will not be any crucial gameplay elements that you will need to unlock via grind or real money. Cosmetics will include vehicle, character and weapon skins....

As was the case with Borderlands 2, the Borderlands 3 intro music comes from UK-based band The Heavy, and the performance can be seen in the video below.

Supporters at a recent Premier League football match and the audience watching the World Darts Championship expressed their frustration with the prime minister through chants that quickly garnered widespread attention on social media. Those chants are reminiscent of the recent phenomenon of “Let’s Go Brandon” chants directed at President Joe Biden and widely understood to mean “F*** Joe Biden” following an incident at a NASCAR race. Johnson’s government is currently embroiled in allegations that staff at 10 Downing Street and the Department for Education held social events, including Christmas parties, that were in violation of COVID-19 restrictions in 2020....

During his speech in Dudley, in the West Midlands of England, the prime minister said: “We cannot continue to be prisoners of this crisis. “I think it is absolutely vital for us to set out the plan ahead.” Johnson set out plans to spend £1.5bn for hospital maintenance, eradicating mental health dormitories, enabling hospital building and improving A&E capacity. He also pledged £100m for 29 road network projects including bridge repairs in Sandwell and improving the A15 in the Humber region and said there would be £83m for maintenance of prisons and youth offender facilities and £60m for temporary prison places....

TANAKA: He says he wants to wipe out the disgrace of a defeat three years ago. Is politics some kind of a sporting rematch? That’s his own problem. We are talking about the job of prime minister, someone who has to be responsible for more than 100 million people. Having him in the race is like putting the hands of a clock backward. He is a rather unusual character in Japanese political circles....

He refused to let it happen again. Bortles threw two touchdown passes, including a 67-yarder to Donte Moncrief, and the Jaguars offense gave the defense plenty of help in a 31-12 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday. Bortles ended up with a career-high 388 yards passing, topping 375 yards for the second time in three games. “(The defense) played incredible again today,” Bortles said. “There were some sloppy parts of the game that we’ve got to clean up, but to give them some points to go play with the lead was good....

Team News Borussia M.Gladbach Havard Nordtveit provides another option in central midfield. Amin Younes returns from injury and will be on the bench.

The historic race is the world’s oldest annual marathon. The first race was held back in 1897, which saw John J. McDermott of New York win the 24.5-mile event in two hours, 55 minutes and 10 seconds (2:55:10), according to the Boston Athletics Association (BAA). In 1924, the length of the course was extended to 26 miles, 385 yards to meet the Olympic standard and the starting line was moved west from Ashland to Hopkinton....

The process of creating one’s own personal fragrance is not unlike building a house or designing a couture ball gown. Clients at Cartier, which launched its bespoke scent creation in 2005, meet with in-house nose and industry leader Mathilde Laurent for a preliminary three-hour “conversation,” in which she gently asks questions designed to reveal their intimate tastes and subliminal desires. Laurent, who works on about eight perfumes a year, interprets the information to imagine fragrance ideas, which she then presents to the client....

As have been with his other two goals for the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit; the £16million record signing from Lille both scored a stunner, and helped the Saints to a lone goal victory.

Today at Gamescom 2011, 2K Games showed off a few more Borderlands 2 screenshots which are now available on their official Facebook page, showcasing the improved art style, environments, creatures and weapons. The art style for the post-apocalyptic world of Borderlands totally worked with the personality and tone of the game (and its wacky characters) and gamers ate it up. The few criticisms players did have with the game however, focused on the AI, vehicle limitations, repetitive and unnecessary items, and missions that lacked depth....

It’s worth mentioning that Borderlands 3 did receive a small hotfix yesterday, one that nerfed quite a few legendary weapons and slightly buffed some of the Vault Hunter’s primary skills. This received some flak in the community, with fans reacting to the weapon nerfs with memes and some saying that the Vault Hunter buffs would do nothing to help with its intended purposes. No doubt, many were also flustered over the fact these buffs and nerfs have been issued constantly, despite a lack of performance upgrades....

A hot fix for a video game is never intended to be an all-encompassing fix, but it’s still not a good look for Gearbox to nerf the loot drops in Borderlands 3 before addressing the game’s more pressing issues. Over on the Gearbox forums, people have expressed annoyance at the hot fix, as some feel that Gearbox is focusing its attention on the wrong things, like nerfing loot drops to prevent players from farming for better gear....

Starting today, Borderlands 3 is now available on Stadia, introducing Gearbox Software’s latest looter-shooter to a whole new platform’s worth of players, but unfortunately it’s not in its most current state.
