Best Wyll Build in Baldur’s Gate 3

It could be that Wyll is one of the more balanced characters inBaldur’s Gate 3. He’d earned a semi-permanent spot in my party for much ofthe game’sstory, with a heavy emphasis on ‘semi.’ In my experience, he’s never been a concrete party member likeShadowheartor Karlach have been — if I needed to pull in Astarion or Halsin, Wyll was, unfortunately, being benched. But, that’s not to say he’s a bad character — quite the opposite, actually....

Did Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 predict the US-China trade war 13 years early?

Video games are often an escape from the real world, a place for gamers to enjoy some fun without thinking of what’s happening outside. But sometimes, they’re a bit too realistic. WhenCall of Duty: Black Ops 2launched in 2012, its plot and technology of the near future seemed more sci-fi than anything. But in reality, some of it has become a bit too real for my taste, and it’s a combination of cool and scary how much the game’s campaign has seemingly begun to come to fruition....
