The ESRB description details some of the instances that warranted its alcohol and violence tags under its official “T for Teens” rating for Horizon Forbidden West. Alcohol use in Horizon Forbidden West isn’t a surprise, nor is violence, as the main gameplay loop of Forbidden West is taking down enemy factions and hunting machines. What is particularly intriguing is that the rating summary details some minor plot points that describe what Aloy or other characters are doing in some cutscenes....

One machine that stands out in particular is the Clamberjaw. Most of Horizon Forbidden West’s machines are based on animals of all shapes and sizes, and the Clamberjaw is no different, resembling a baboon. There’s no ape machine in the Horizon universe, so the Clamberjaw is a welcome addition, but players should be wary of this machine in advance. Based on its abilities and characteristics, this could turn out to be one of Horizon Forbidden West’s most deadly machine types....

Hormonal balance can also play a role in regulating gut health. Hormonal imbalances or fluctuations may increase some gastrointestinal symptoms, such as symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This article explains how hormonal changes influence gastrointestinal symptoms. It also covers treatment options and when to see a healthcare provider. Hormones and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Research suggests that hormones can influence both symptom severity and pain sensitivity in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)....

One reason horror-comedy series are growing in popularity these days might be the fact that they are easier to watch, even if they’ve been out for a while. Even if a show originally started on broadcast television, they all tend to head to a streaming service eventually. Shows that started off on the CW or FX tend to head to those streaming platforms rather quickly. That’s certainly good news for people who are looking for a good horror comedy to binge....

7 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) Going all the way back to one of the very first slasher movies, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre took a relatively small group of victims in the forms of Sally, Franklin, and their three friends driving to their grandmother’s house. They were interrupted by a run-in with Leatherface and his cannibalistic clan, but there wasn’t a lot of sadness felt at the passing of these teens....

The New York Times reported on Tuesday afternoon that Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, which is owned by Northwell Health, has repeatedly charged patients thousands of dollars for virus tests that typically cost less than $200. The hospital has billed the tests—which insurance or the U.S. government is generally required to cover—as a “moderately complex” emergency room visit, tacking on additional charges. One family that did their testing at Lenox Hill reportedly racked up $39,314 for just 12 tests....

B’nai Brith Canada, a Jewish activist organization, referred in particular to attendees of a COVID-19 protest in Calgary, Alberta who posed with a yellow Star of David marked with “Mask Exempt.” During the Holocaust, Jews in Nazi Germany, as well as countries occupied by or allied with the Nazis, were made to wear the yellow badges so they could be identified and ostracized. Photos of the protest, held March 20, showed placards rejecting masks and lockdowns, in addition to displaying conspiracy theories surrounding the pandemic, vaccines and 5G....

After all, the game was decided long ago. And everything else went Boston’s way all night, so why not this? The part-time utilityman put the finishing touch on a Red Sox blowout, becoming the first player to hit for the cycle in a postseason game as Boston routed the New York Yankees 16-1 on Monday to seize a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five AL Division Series. “This one I’ll remember for a long time,” said Holt, unaware of his achievement until told by a television reporter right after the final out....

Because ear infections often clear up on their own, healthcare professionals are hesitant to jump to prescribing antibiotics as a first course of treatment unless the infection is severe, the child is very young, or there are other mitigating circumstances. This has many people turning to home remedies for ear infections. Many home remedy recommendations—often passed from one person to another through word of mouth—are not backed by scientific evidence and may even be harmful....

Speaking to IPL’s official website after the match, Yuvraj said: “I have been talking to him from the start of the IPL and he played really well in the last game. He played really well in this game too; he is maturing and I hope he plays for India soon.” Agarwal, who played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) previously, has shown brief signs of promise in the past, and he can now hopefully kick on and start playing innings of the kind he did yesterday on a more consistent basis....

They begin work without defensive tackle Marcell Dareus, who Saturday went on the active/non-football injury list. They know there is an ownership question as suitors jockey to buy the team after the death of Ralph Wilson. As the first team to have veterans in camp, the Bills know they have plenty of work to do. Naysayers and predictions are nothing new. “It’s every year. Everybody just thinks we’re the same old Bills, and that’s fine with me,” safety Aaron Williams told the Buffalo News....

This new trailer is cinematic, not gameplay, nor rendered in-game. But the game looks so great already, it doesn’t feel too far off from what fans have seen from PS5 and PS4 gameplay trailers. This trailer features a voiceover of Aloy remembering the teachings of her father, Rost, and how it will impact her decision to continue her mission to help others and the planet.

In a surprise announcement, PlayStation UK revealed that the scheduled release date for Horizon: Zero Dawn on March 3 has actually been changed. Instead of the typical Friday release, players in the UK and Europe will be able to start hunting robo-dinosaurs a few days earlier on Wednesday, March 1. Traditionally, games in Europe and the UK tend to release a few days after North America on the following Friday....

RELATED: Horizon Forbidden West: Every Room Aloy Can Unlock in The Base Perhaps the most notable overhaul, however, concerns the game’s various armor and outfit types, with every set now having its own distinct strengths and weaknesses. This is especially true of the Legendary armor sets in Horizon Forbidden West, each of which offers both active and passive skills to suit a wide variety of play styles. Carja Stalker Elite The Carja Stalker Elite armor set is designed to compliment Aloy’s Trapper skill tree, with several useful active and passive perks included....

For all its successes, Horizon Zero Dawn had its share of issues that Guerrilla is addressing. Combat and traversal options look to be a priority in Forbidden West, with Aloy gaining new ways to fight in far-future California. There will be an updated skill tree, new weapons like the Spike Thrower, and unlockable abilities like Resonator Blast for her spear. However, Forbidden West (or whatever games come after) could pull inspiration from the weapon diversity in Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise to exentuate unique aspects of Horizon’s universe....

RELATED: Horizon Forbidden West: How to Destroy Metal Flowers After Kotallo joins Aloy and her companions at the base, he learns about prosthetic limbs from GAIA and asks Aloy to help him to recover the materials and information needed to build one for himself. What follows is the What Was Lost side quest. It’s arguably one of the very best in Horizon Forbidden West when it comes to character development; providing an additional layer of depth to Kotallo as well as some fantastic rewards for players....

Beyond other factors like an expanded world and the development of Aloy as a character herself, the hunter’s arsenal of weapons and gadgets within Horizon Forbidden West has been developed and tweaked for good measure as well. One of the tools that the studio has already shone a particular spotlight on is the brand new Spike Thrower, which should add some exciting diversity to the gameplay loop of the title thanks to the unique tactical options it offers....

RELATED: Dark Games That Will Mess With Your Mind But there are some games where fighting back is the quickest way toward a horrible (typically gruesome), bad end. 10 Dark Deception Dark Deception is a first-person horror game where the player traverses through maze-like worlds, collecting shards for the mysterious woman who acts as a guide, Bierce. From murderous monkey bellhops to rollerskating nurses wielding giant needles, each world is filled with thematic monsters that all follow the orders of Malak, a demon that has a history with Bierce....

This can catch players off-guard, especially when dealing with games that have an extremely unsettling or scary premise. 8 The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (2000) While The Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is certainly an adventure game, some fans would argue it’s one of the darkest among the Zelda titles, with even hints of horror....
