Atlanta took several odd turns in its third season, which is why this week’s finale is the perfect mix of bizarre, hilarious and clever comedy writing fans of the show have come to expect, all capped off with a concentrated dose of character depth for its protagonist. Overall, “Tarrare” is exactly how one would expect the show’s European tour to finish and great piece of entertainment as well. The episode sees Donald Glover express his full directing mastery to create scenes that love to pay off the many European films it draws inspiration from, whereas Stefani Robinson’s script gives Van all the spotlight she previously lacked this season with plenty of shock, awe and motive....

Still, Atlanta’s own brand of comedy remains intact in this entry as “Work Ethic!” makes Van enter the world of Kirkwood Chocolate productions for a day’s worth of work she and Lottie won’t ever forget. The last time Zazie Beetz starred in her own solo episode was in season 3’s spectacular Amélie-themed finale, whereas Lottie has been missing for much longer, and it’s fair to say Van is back in her mom role after the crisis she was going through in Paris....

Peterson, 30, scored a career-best six goals in 2016 with Sporting Kansas City. READ MORE: MLS announces 2017 home openers “We set clear goals during this offseason to add league experience in key areas,” Atlanta United president Darren Eales said in a club release. “Jacob is another player who’s enjoyed a long and productive career in MLS and we’re pleased that he’s decided to sign with our club.” Peterson has spent 11 seasons in MLS since being drafted by the Colorado Rapids in 2006....

Joao Felix put the hosts in front just before the half-hour mark, which seemed enough for the Rojiblancos to secure a win. However, Thomas Muller came off the bench and restored parity from the spot in the 86th minute, after being fouled by Felipe. Bayern Munich named a weakened side for the match, with in-form striker Robert Lewandowski not even in the matchday squad, and plausibly struggled to create many chances....

Simeone will miss four Spanish league matches, with the remaining four-match ban applying to future Spanish Super Cups. Simeone was already suspended from Atletico’s league opener at Rayo Vallecano on Monday because of a suspension that carried over from last season. That means Simeone’s new suspension will begin on Aug. 30 against Eibar. He will then miss the clash against Madrid on Sept. 13 and the subsequent league games against Celta Vigo and Almeria....

Cerezo told Cadena Ser radio, which aired from the Vicente Calderon stadium, that an agreement was reached with Gabi to continue at Atletico Madrid, reports Efe. The Atletico skipper also participated in the programme, confirming that he already had an agreement with the club. Gabi, 33, said that as long as he is able to perform at the level required at Atletico he will remain at the Madrid club....

Torres confirmed at a news conference on Monday that he will leave Atleti when the current campaign ends, bringing down the curtain on his second spell with the club. The 34-year-old striker is a crowd hero on account of his 126 goals for the club but has only started three games in Spain’s top flight this term. Nevertheless, his send-off should be something to remember, according to club president Enrique Cerezo....

While claiming that a new game will “reinvent” a series is a reoccurring phenomenon within the industry, the kind of changes that Ismail describes genuinely sound like a total breakdown and reconstruction of a franchise that has, in recent years, threatened to stagnate a little. Ismail’s vision included adding loot systems to Origins, alongside RPG-like skill progression that will see players customize the playing style of main character Bayek - although Ismail admitted how daunting it could be to mess with some of the series’ core gameplay concepts during development:...

Enter the Assassin’s Creed Sisterhood, founded by Assassin’s Creed fan Kulpreet Virdi. The Sisterhood is a safe space for women in gaming who are fans of the franchise and want to see things at Ubisoft improve in the future. In an interview with Game Rant, Virdi spoke about her experiences with the Assassin’s Creed games and what changes she hopes to see in the franchise.

As it turns out, there were multiple women throughout the franchise who were reduced or underrepresented. The voice actress behind Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Evie, for example, recently spoke up about the sexism she experienced at Ubisoft. On top of that, it turns out that in the most recent franchise entry, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, was originally meant to only have one protagonist: Kassandra. It seems Alexios was a sort-of invention to drive home a point that “women don’t sell....

It’s been confirmed that Eivor is canonically female, so we’ll be looking at her within this context. Despite her not being an assassin – as the brotherhood didn’t exist at the time – the term has been used to sum up the qualities of a main hero....

One of the biggest puzzle types scattered across the map of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the Standing Stones puzzle. These are a collection of rocks that contain hidden symbols that need to be aligned perfectly. Much like the Fly Agaric mushroom challenges, these are located all over the map and each has a similar yet unique solution.

For the Seahenge Standing Stones puzzle, these unnecessary markings are abundant. Because of this, the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla challenge can take some players a really long time to complete, but those that know where to look can do it in a matter of seconds. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: How to Get Crepelgate Fort Book Because of the visual nature of these puzzles, it can be very difficult to describe in words exactly where the player needs to stand....

Some fans were disappointed at the Xbox event as a whole, but fans of Assassin’s Creed were focused on this gameplay video. The stealth and action franchise began in 2007 and has managed to cultivate a large fan base through its historical themes and enjoyable game mechanics. Many noted that previous gameplay reveals had been more extensive and insightful. In response, the Creative Director of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ashraf Ismail, released a statement on Twitter....

Before joining Ubisoft, McDevitt served as a writer at Electronic Arts and worked on a variety of games including The Sims and The Lord of the Rings. McDevitt’s first foray into the Assassin’s Creed series was as the lead writer for 2009’s Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines, a PlayStation Portable game and direct sequel to the original 2007 game. His primary focus at Ubisoft would continue to be Assassin’s Creed, serving as the lead writer for Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, and Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag....

The leak indicates Kassandra could meet Eivor in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which makes sense given Kassandra’s immortality of sorts thanks to the Staff of Hermes (and her role as the canon character over Alexios). It’s also worth mentioning that this leak comes way of YouTuber J0nathan, who has been reliable several times in the past, and while it should be taken with a grain of salt for a number of reasons, it’s about as solid as a leak can get....

This approach manifests itself in everything from the Assassin-Templar conflict (or, in this case, the Hidden Ones vs. the Order of the Ancients), the combat, the gameplay mechanics, the exploration, and more. Perhaps the best part of this is how customizable the experience feels. Not only do players get to choose between playing as a male Eivor, playing as a female Eivor, or allowing the animus to decide, but they can also adjust the difficulty for the exploration, combat, and stealth individually....

You’d think that such hardware would be pricey, but that’s not the case. In the UK, the G15 costs a surprising £1,699, and it also includes a 1080p display with a 300Hz refresh rate. That exact model hasn’t made its way to the US at the time of writing, but you can select a machine with a 1440p panel that runs at 165Hz for US$2,199 – or a variant with the 300Hz display and an improved AMD processor for an impressive US$1,799....

“What are you doing up there?” asked his costar Chris Rock, from the dock on the beach below. “I’m promoting a movie!” Seinfeld squawked. Then he leaped off the roof of the eight-story hotel, bobbing and waving about as he glided down a cable over the cheering crowds to the beach. That’s the International Cannes Film Festival, for you—glitter, glitz, stars on the red carpet (and the roof), and topless starlets on the beach....
