Shortly after Alvarez’s exit, on-site media noticed a Braves EMT walking to the Astros’ side of the field, still without explanation. It was later reported that Alvarez was taken to an Atlanta hospital after being evaluated in the training room. After the Astros’ 6-2 loss, Houston manager Dustin Baker finally gave an explanation.

Sara McMann who returned to active competition after pregnancy back in January will enter the fight after bouncing back from a two-fight losing streak. McMann last faced Lina Lansberg at UFC Fight Night 166 and won the fight via unanimous decision. Aspen Ladd, on the other hand, comes with a lot of momentum on her side.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the next entry in Ubisoft’s beloved and long-running franchise, focusing on the early days of Basim as he enters the Hidden Ones. It takes place about twenty years before the events of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and its setting of Baghdad has tons of franchise potential. All in all, there are plenty of elements that could inspire fan art, and this contest is seeking to reward that creativity....

Called the “Bracers of the Underworld,” the sleeve is directly inspired by Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Kassandra. Aesthetically, the sleeve boasts a dark, armored design with fire-colored accents, meant to be evocative of Kassandra’s battle with Hades in the Underworld. Limbitless cites Kassandra’s status as an elite warrior with strength and resilience as one of the reasons for pursuing the design, with the hopes that it will inspire the children that wear it....

The results, according to Phillips, were somewhat surprising. It’s worth mentioning that during the play tests, the split between Alexios and Kassandra was roughly 50/50. Phillips even believed the final numbers would showcase a bit more favoritism toward Kassandra when Assassin’s Creed Odyssey fully launched, but it was actually quite the opposite. As it stands, the player usage stats indicate that the player divide between the two protagonists is “two-third Alexios” and “one-third Kassandra....

The Hades Set of armor only appears in the game if a player purchases the Underworld Mythical Pack DLC and contains the armor set, a matching spear, as well as a similarly themed mount. This DLC armor is based around the Greek mythological ruler of the Underworld, Hades, who, in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, is a member of the race known as the Isu.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey came out last October and has since continued to grow. The main game already features over 100 hours of content in the story and side missions alone where players can explore the entire country of Greece. Since its release, the game has seen a couple of expansions, one of which takes place in the same open world as the rest of the game. The other one, Fate of Atlantis, opens up the mythical paradise of Elysium for players to explore while they experience a new kind of story....

Recent information about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has revealed that the story will follow Eivor as they raid England to establish a settlement for their people. Viking era England is going to look very different compared to modern standards, but this gives the game the chance to explore legendary sites such as Sherwood Forest. But, like its predecessor Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, it seems Assassin’s Creed Valhalla may explore some mystical locations as well....

While individuals playing unique takes on UNO with the base deck is a fairly common thing, unique UNO decks and mods also exist. One such version is now available, fusing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla together with the classic card game.

As Assassin’s Creed fans who follow the games’ various ARGs might know, Ubisoft loves to mix in real-world tasks alongside its coded messages and in-game. Given that the current ARG revolves around the church of Saint-Denis, some fans leaped to the idea that perhaps the real-world location from the game could offer up a clue. That intuitive leap has proved fortuitous, as a fan visiting that very church has discovered what could be a key clue....

Luckily, Ubisoft will likely correct the course later this summer, and Microsoft is set to deliver more with Xbox 20/20. But for now, it’s worth looking at the first ever gameplay tease of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (as director Ashraf Ismail stated it was just yesterday) compared to its predecessors, Origins and Odyssey. RELATED: How Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Fits Into the Assassin’s Creed Timeline Assassin’s Creed Valhalla First and foremost, in comparing these trailers, setting and climate have to be addressed....

Notably, there are some really common weapons that are completely missing in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and fans want to see them added into the game. Admittedly, it might take a lot of work for Ubisoft to not only add these weapons in but also create new animations for them and balance them against the existing weapons, but in certain cases it seems like it would be worth the effort. This is particularly true of weapons that were historically used very frequently in the time period but are completely skipped over in the world of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla....

The British-Swedish pharmaceutical company said the vaccine “is generally well tolerated in adults 18 years and above,” but some European countries recommended it only be given to older adults due to its link to blood clots, according to the Associated Press. AstraZeneca said their vaccine “has been shown to be effective against all severities of COVID-19, across current variants of concern and all adult age groups.” Despite AstraZeneca’s confidence in the vaccine, the company said it has “decided not to pursue the marketing authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine in Switzerland....

What’s new The Houston Astros entered 2013 as one of the favorites to be the worst team in baseball and won just 51 games. They remain one of the most likely teams to pick up that inglorious honor again in '14, but there is some hope in Texas, both for Astros fans and fantasy owners. The Astros made a couple of splashes over the winter. One was a trade, acquiring perennial fantasy tease Dexter Fowler from the Rockies....

That’s not to say you can combine the two though – the latest notebook graphic processors are fast but not quite capable of playing action games at UHD resolution without struggling. In our tests the G501JW could average 32fps in Batman: Arkham City at 3840 x 2160 with middling Normal detail – albeit with dips to 20fps that may prove troubling. Tomb Raider at the same settings averaged 27fps, also too close for comfort....

There are several games to occur across the Assassin’s Creed timeline with varying different characters and settings. Though, the first several entries in the series were confined to the stories of two characters, Altair and Ezio. While Assassin’s Creed 3 was the first game in the series to diverge from those two characters, it wasn’t until the release of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag where the series’ formula truly felt reinvented for a number of players....

In an interview with Geoff Keighley at E3 2018, Ubisoft co-founder and CEO, Yves Guillemot, was asked this very question regarding the Assassin’s Creed franchise considering that Origins just launched late in 2017 and now the newly announced Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is planned for launch in October. As it turns out, the company has no plans to return to the old annual release cycle at this time. In fact, there isn’t a plan as to when a new game is released, so as Guillemot put it, fans are likely to see it some years and then not at all in others....
