The current-generation Xbox Series consoles, especially the Xbox Series X, are a performance beast. They deliver the level of gaming experience one could have only dreamt of about a decade ago. However as modern-age games take advantage of all that power, players can easily run out of the native storage space. With titles like current-gen titles like Call of Duty, Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, and Microsoft Flight Simulator, you will exhaust the onboard storage faster than you believe.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
