Jon Bernthal is your enemy in 'Ghost Recon Breakpoint'
Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking: "Hey, that's The Punisher!" But that, my friends, isn't Frank Castle. It's Colonel Cole D. Walker, the antagonist in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, who's portrayed by none other than Jon Bernthal (The Punisher, The Walking Dead). In the new installment of Ubisoft and Tom Clancy's tactical shooter video game, Walker is the leader of The Wolves, a group of ex-military Ghosts who have gone rogue and taken control of Auroa, a fictional island set in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Your job as a US Special Operations soldier will be to infiltrate them and end their takeover, which won't be easy because Walker and The Wolves have created an army of powerful, killer drones.
The Light and How to Swing It: Adjust your healing in patch 4.3
Every week, WoW Insider brings you The Light and How to Swing It for holy, protection and retribution paladins. Every Sunday, Chase Christian invites you to discuss the finer side of the paladin class: the holy specialization. Feel free to email me with any questions you want answered, like why paladins are so awesome. With patch 4.3 looming on the horizon, holy paladins need to be prepared for all of the changes that are headed our way. Both of our AoE healing options have been significantly altered, along with several of the talents and glyphs that support these abilities. Retribution paladins are also looking forward to a few buffs to their sustained DPS, but their ability to help with AoE healing is being greatly reduced. Our core mana regeneration mechanic is about to be completely scrapped. In fact, if we continue using Judgement without making any adjustments, we'll actually have less mana in patch 4.3 than we do today. We've been healing with holy power for nearly a year now, but many of the habits we've picked up along the way will need to change.
'Linger in Shadows' video hints at PS3 project
Much like its title suggests, meaningful information regarding the above video seems to be loitering in all the dark corners of the internet, unwilling to step forward and reveal itself. From what we've been able to piece together, "Linger in Shadows" is a "demoscene," an artistic video generated by one of those "computer" things the kids are so addicted to these days. In this case, the computer is allegedly a PlayStation 3, with the beautiful imagery having recently been rendered and displayed at Breakpoint 2008, a demoscene party held in Germany. It is reportedly the product of demoscene group named "Plastic." Rumors label it as more than just a demo, however, with onAXIS pointing towards a "Linger in Shadows" trademark nabbed by Sony in November 2007. Couple that with the Santa Monica Studios logo displayed at the video's start and you have plenty of net denizens anticipating a visually arresting game which has you controlling a trail of black smoke. Or a flying dog. Whether it's a game, a screen saver or just a bit of art is for Sony to say, but it's certainly managed to intrigue us. Even more so than Lingerie in Shadows, the other, considerably more dubious video that turned up in our research. [Via PS3 Fanboy. Thanks, Mauricio]
