Video game release dates are more a suggestion than a promise these days, and understandably so. Making games is hard and audiences have never been busier and more fickle. Still, it’s disappointing when you find out that sci-fi shooter or fantasy adventure you’ve been waiting for won’t be out any time soon, and a lot of that disappointment is going around right now, as a bunch of this year’s notable releases have recently slipped to 2025.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

One man’s error is another man’s Titanic! In an unforeseeable catastrophe, an affluent group fell prey to a terrifying moment when their stunning Italian superyacht sank near an idyllic Greek holiday island. The weather turned, leaving the crew with little time to close the door. This misstep—leaving a side door open—resulted in the sinking of the 150-foot megayacht ‘Ethos.’

A dream superyacht charter turned into a nightmare when a crew member left a door open, eventually sinking the $55 million vessel. An affluent group had rented the 150-footer for $180,000 a week in Greece.

Who would have thought that a chain known for its endless shrimp promotion could find itself in such a pickle? But here we are—Florida-based Red Lobster, which has been reeling from financial troubles, may have finally found a lifeline. After a surprising $11 million loss in the third quarter of 2023 due to that very shrimp deal, Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy in May 2024. And now, there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

It’s a bone-chilling discovery.

Archeologists at Pompeii have recovered well-preserved skeletal remains of a man and woman who died clutching treasures of the time. 

The woman was found on a bed surrounded by gold, silver and bronze coins, along with jewelry that included pearl and gold earrings, and the man was not far from her.



Archeological Park Director Gabriel Zuchtriegel called the recent finding in the ancient city lost to a volcanic eruption in Mount Vesivius’s Region IX — where several rare treasures were recently found — “invaluable.”

Visions of Mana is the first new mainline entry in Square Enix’s Mana series in over 15 years, so naturally it has attracted huge attention from modern-day RPG fans and retro game enthusiasts alike.

That said, this Visions of Mana teaser plays by slightly different rules than most Square Enix demos. If you’re wondering if this action-RPG is right for you, then the demo will let you get a taste of the game’s world and combat mechanics.
