Fallout Miami is one of the most ambitious game mod projects ever, taking players away from the New England setting of Fallout 4 itself and placing them in a “post-nuclear vacation wasteland.” It has been in the works for several years, and in a new update post, the developers shared what they’ve been working on since the pandemic began.

Pre-production for the mod’s main quest has been finished, with the team now moving on to writing as well as quest implementation. Fallout Miami will be around the size and scope of an official Fallout expansion when it releases, with side quests and new characters to meet as well as factions to encounter.

Those factions include a group that makes use of coconut shells for their masks, giving them a more menacing look than what you might expect from a coconut shell. 3D models for this unannounced faction are nearly complete, and they should be fully revealed soon. You can see a glimpse of some of the new characters and artwork in the video above.

The team has also created brands and franchises to be scattered across the map in order to give Miami a more realistic look. One of these is the Poseidon Energy subsidiary Gasolina Caribica, a fossil fuel supplier. The locations look paused in time, much like a lot of the architecture from Fallout 4 itself–well, except for the looting and nuclear blast damage. There’s also a “Center School” to try to continue education, and it’s built from scrap metal, but there are pre-war books and tapes available.

Fallout Miami does not yet have a release date. It’s currently only planned for PC, and you can learn more about the game’s development, potentially voicing a character, or helping with development via the official FAQ.

One of the biggest multiplayer shooters of the generation could be coming to Xbox Game Pass, if the service’s official Twitter account is hinting at what we think it is. Rainbow Six Siege has millions of players, and it looks like some more Xbox players are going to get access for free.

A post on the Xbox Game Pass Twitter features no text, but instead an image of a massive six-band rainbow and a siege weapon placed outside a castle. That could be a big coincidence, but it almost certainly means the game is coming to Xbox Game Pass. Because Ubisoft is supporting free next-gen upgrades for Rainbow Six Siege and several other recent games, you’ll likely be able to play the Xbox Series X and Series S version on the new systems, too.

Microsoft is no stranger to silly teases for new Xbox Game Pass additions. It did something similar with Doom Eternal just as Microsoft purchased Bethesda. In that case, it was with a hidden “The Slayer is Coming” message hidden in the copy of an email.

Ubisoft is shaping up to have a very busy holiday season. Watch Dogs: Legion releases on October 29 before coming to the next-gen systems at launch, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is out on November 10. Immortals: Fenyx Rising then arrives on December 3, and the cooperative-focused Rainbow Six Quarantine is also in the works.

Netflix’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 revisits one of the most notorious American trials of the 20th Century, as retold by The Social Network and The West Wing’s Aaron Sorkin. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast, we said “Aaron Sorkin has produced a thoughtful meditation on a truly nightmarish event, a Kafka-esque distortion of due process” in our Trial of the Chicago 7 review.

But while the drama chronicles the lives of the defendants during their legal battle, Sorkin’s film doesn’t engage in the traditional “where are they now/what happened to them after” sort of coda we’ve come to expect from such “based on a true story” films. There are only passing mentions of the fates of some of the people portrayed in the film.

So with that in mind, and to satiate the curiosity of those who have just finished watching the film, let’s dive into what happened to the leading characters depicted in The Trial of the Chicago 7.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=chicago-7-where-are-they-now&captions=true”]

Abbie Hoffman (played by Sacha Baron Cohen)

Hoffman remained an activist for the rest of his life, authoring Steal This Book, which he dubbed “a handbook for living free, stealing and making violent revolution.” Heeding the book’s title, enough people stole the book that many stores stopped carrying it. Hoffman was arrested in 1973 for intent to sell and distribute cocaine. He claimed he was entrapped by an undercover officer and went on the run for several years, during which time he abandoned his family and even had plastic surgery to alter his appearance. Hoffman eventually served four months of a one-year prison sentence. He later returned to activism and made a cameo as a protestor in Oliver Stone’s 1989 film Born on the Fourth of July. Hoffman, who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, died at age 52 in April 1989 from what was officially ruled a suicide by phenobarbital overdose. Hoffman’s suicide has many doubters, including fellow Chicago 7 member David Dellinger, as Hoffman would regularly lecture on how the CIA disguised their assassinations as suicides.

Jerry Rubin (played by Jeremy Strong)

After leaving political activism, Rubin became a multimillionaire businessman and even invested in Apple Computer in its early days. Rubin and Hoffman debated each other on a tour touted as “Yippie versus Yuppie,” with Rubin advocating for wealth creation and social consciousness in business. He was also critical of the excesses of the counterculture movement. Rubin died in November 1994 after being struck by a car while jaywalking in Westwood, California.

Bobby Seale (played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II)

A co-founder of the Black Panther Party, Seale is now 83 years old. Following the Chicago 7 trial, law enforcement was interested in Seale for the murders of two fellow Panthers, but only ever brought charges in one case; they were later dropped. Seale ran for mayor of Oakland, California in 1973 but lost in a run-off. He left the Black Panther party in 1974. Seale has remained a social justice advocate, authored several books, including an autobiography and a cookbook, has worked with youth initiatives, and also appeared in an ad for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

Rennie Davis (played by Alex Sharp)

Davis, now 79, became a venture capitalist and runs Foundation for a New Humanity. In the 1970s he joined Divine Light Mission as a disciple of Guru Maharaj Ji. and has lectured on meditation and self-awareness.

David Dellinger (played by John Carroll Lynch)

Dellinger continued to be a political activist and dedicated pacifist, joining protests including a sit-in at the 1996 Democratic Convention in Chicago where he was arrested along with Abbie Hoffman’s son Andrew. He died at age 88 in May 2004 after suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

Tom Hayden (played by Eddie Redmayne)

Hayden founded the Indochina Peace Campaign, which aimed, in part, to gain amnesty for those who evaded the Vietnam War draft. A Democrat politician and prolific author, Hayden served in the California State Assembly from 1982 to 1992 and the State Senate from 1992 to 2000. He was married to fellow activist actress Jane Fonda for 17 years, during which time he fathered actor Troy Garity (best known for his roles in the Barbershop sequels and Ballers). Hayden died in October 2016 at age 76.

John Froines (played by Daniel Flaherty)

After his acquittal, Froines, now 81, worked in public health. He was the director of UCLA’s Occupational Health Center, served as a director in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and was the chair of the California Scientific Review Panel on Toxic Air Contaminants for decades. Froines retired from the UCLA School of Public Health in 2011.

Lee Weiner (played by Noah Robbins)

Following his acquittal, Weiner earned his Ph.D. in sociology and worked in fundraising for non-profits and members of Congress. His autobiography, Conspiracy to Riot: The Life and Times of One of the Chicago 7, was published in August 2020. Weiner, 81, lives in Florida.

Judge Julius Hoffman (played by Frank Langella)

Judge Hoffman continued presiding over cases until his death at age 87 in 1983, despite a poor reputation among a majority of Chicago attorneys according to the book The Benchwarmers.

Richard Schultz (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt)

Schultz later went into private practice with Chicago 7 prosecutor Thomas Foran, partnering with him in the Chicago firm of Foran & Schultz.

William Kunstler (played by Mark Rylance)

The radical lawyer and activist died in 1995 at age 76. Following his defense of the Chicago 7, Kunstler defended members of the American Indian Movement who took part in the Wounded Knee Occupation, an inmate who was charged with killing a guard during the Attica prison riot, the Black Liberation Army’s Assata Shakur, “the Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman, and even organized crime figures like mob boss John Gotti. Kunstler also portrayed singer Jim Morrison’s defense attorney in Oliver Stone’s 1991 film The Doors.

Update – 10/18/20:

Well, it turns out the Die Hard ad was in fact just that, an ad for Die Hard batteries. Although, it did have some action-packed moments.

In the full 2-minute commercial, there are a few nods to the Die Hard movies including Willis crawling through a vent and reuniting with his limousine driver Argyle (good to see you again, De’voreaux White). Willis even beats someone over the head with a Die Hard-branded car battery, which is a sentence I never thought I’d be writing.

You can check out the full video in this tweet from Advance Auto Parts.

Original story below…

[poilib element=”accentDivider”]

Something is amiss in Die Hard land as Bruce Willis has popped up in a short teaser implying a possible return of John McClane.

A 15-second teaser was posted on Twitter by his daughter Rumer Willis that shows Bruce Willis walking down a foggy Christmas light-lit street to the sound of someone whistling. The text reads, “as one story ends…a new one begins” followed by an October 18, 2020 date and the hashtag #DieHardIsBack.

#DieHardisBack #ad pic.twitter.com/UHn8RSBGP0

— Rumer Willis (@TheRue) October 17, 2020

It’s unclear if this is teasing a movie or possible spinoff TV series starring Willis, but something is definitely happening.

Her tweet also indicated this is an ad for something, so maybe it’s just a Die Hard-themed product of some sort? The holidays are right around the corner, after all, even though Willis himself says Die Hard is definitively not a Christmas movie.

It’s also worth noting that Andy Samberg’s music group The Lonely Island also quote Tweeted the teaser with the text “Tell your dad we still want him to be on B99!” Could this actually be teasing a crossover event on Brooklyn Nine-Nine that involves Willis’ iconic Detective?

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=the-10-best-80s-action-movies&captions=true”]

Rumors of a sixth Die Hard installment have been circulating around the internet ever since the disappointing reception of 2013’s A Good Day to Die Hard, including a possible reunion with Samuel L. Jackson’s character Zeus. While that clearly didn’t pan out, Willis is no stranger to reprising roles years after the last film.

What do you think this teaser is for? A movie? A spinoff or TV series? A cameo? Let us know what you’d like to see in the comments below.

FIFA 21 Ultimate Team players with grand ambitions will want to find out how to make coins and save points so that they can maintain their real-world money and stop relying on packs with randomized prizes. In this guide, we’re going to make the most of the transfer market and the in-game rewards to create an incredible winning eleven through frugality.

The game mode’s goal is to create your Ultimate Team, so if you can only settle for the best players, you’re in for an expensive experience on the transfer market, where some top-flight footballers sell for millions of coins. If you don’t want to rely on paying for packs, but you want to be able to build a worthy ensemble of players, we’ve put together a guide with some useful tips for making coins and saving points in FIFA 21.

Complete your placements first to get an early cash boost

If we presume that you’ve just started playing Ultimate Team, then right at the start, the first thing you should do before you start building a team is hammer through your Division Rivals placement matches with your starting eleven.

If you’re not so bothered about your rank and would entertain the challenge of climbing the leaderboard, just get them over with as soon as possible to get tens of thousands of coins or a good chunk of packs. Of course, the reward will depend on how well you perform, but you’re in for a healthy amount of currency, even if you lose every match.

With the very basic team you’re given at the start, you’ll also get an honest assessment of your actual FIFA skill without the top-flight players backing you, and the rewards will provide you with enough money and players to build a team that you want to play with, rather than pulling together a haphazard lineup with the limited amount of coins available to you at the start.

Finish your Foundation challenges for easy coins and packs

In the Objectives tab accessed from the Ultimate Team main menu, you’ll find a section titled ‘Foundations’ that offers tons of tradeable packs and free coin rewards for completing relatively easy objectives. Many of them can be achieved by merely engaging with all of the modes on offer in Ultimate Team. You should finish a few of them just by playing, but check in every once in a while to see what you need to do to wrap this section up, as the packs and coins stack up, and the criteria can be completed with relatively little effort.

From there, you can also check out the Milestones menu, which offers more focused tasks to complete for more lucrative packs and coin rewards. These are far more tricky and can be completed over your career, but knowing what you’re working towards can’t hurt.b

Focus on weekly recurring rewards

At the start of every week, your Squad Battles matches will reset, and you’ll have a week to complete them to earn points, which will determine the rewards you’ll receive at the end of the week. The best thing to do is beat all of your Squad Battles matches with the best team in your arsenal as soon as they drop. You can even refresh the repeatable matches to earn more to rank up further. Consider notching up the difficulty to get more points, as the rewards do start to scale dramatically at the higher ranks, offering Jumbo Packs and thousands of coins.

The same can be said for the online multiplayer mode Division Rivals. The competition will reset every week, and you’ll have to maintain your rank and score by playing every week. Play until you achieve a decent grade, which will give you enough coins, and you can confirm a substantial amount of income per week, and perhaps a few packs on top of that to boot.

Invest in time-limited and trending players on the transfer market

Making money on the transfer market is more complicated than ever in Ultimate Team now that the market is stratified and saturated with Gold cards. You’re going to have to get very lucky to make your money back on packs, so you should think about which players are worthy investments and try to earn enough to hoard a few and resell them to try and sway the market in your favor and make some money.

It’s tough, but thinking psychologically about which players will be in demand is an excellent way to score some coins. If you spot a team of the week player who you think will be more lucrative down the line, then hold onto them and sell when their value spikes.

Keep an eye on the major league tables and fixtures for the week and look into buying and reselling the players who score goals to pre-empt the surge of purchases from football fans. Look at live Squad-Building Challenges too to try and figure out potential solutions and hoard the players you think that others may be looking for. Another age-old tactic is to buy through the week and sell at the weekend when more people will be playing to make your coins go even further.

Don’t disregard kits and consumables

You may be tempted to discard, quick sell, or even forget about any cards that aren’t players. Still, there is a lot of money to be made beyond the footballers in FIFA 21, especially if you stumble onto a consumable or Stadium piece that is unusual or tied to a club with a decent following.

If you’re a few coins out from the player you need and you start scrambling to sell, take a look at your badges and kits to see if you’ve got something that other players are clamoring for. You’d be surprised at the diamonds you may find in the rough — many in-game kits can sell for thousands of coins just for looking interesting. Chemistry Styles and Position Modifiers are also always worth a few thousand coins to more time-strapped, liquid players looking to deck out their new squad with better attributes.

Stardew Valley, in its upcoming version 1.5 update, will add splitscreen co-op to both console and PC.

Announced by Eric Barone, the creator of Stardew Valley, there will be up to 4-player splitscreen co-op on PC, but “on some other platforms it might be limited to 2.”

This update will also allow for players to move their bed, and Barone teased a peaceful scene on a beach with a player fishing and ducks hanging about.

Online multiplayer was added to Stardew Valley beginning in 2018, and this new update will give players even more options to play one of our 11 Calming Games to Help You Relax together.

Even though Barone is continuing to update Stardew Valley, which was originally released in 2016, he has begun teasing his next two games, which are still a bit of ways away. One of them is said to take place in the world of Stardew Valley, but is not a farming game, and the other is said to tie into the game in some way.

We re-reviewed Stardew Valley in 2018 and said it “is a beautiful, fun game that, when all of its parts are pulled together, make for a wonderful countryside adventure. Whether it’s rainy, sunny, snowy, or dusted with pollen drifts through the air, each day offers an abundance of great activities ready to be collected or mastered and new friendships waiting to be made. Even 100 hours in with three in-game years in the books, I still feel like I have so many mysteries to discover, and plenty of items to collect.”
