Twenty-three-year-old George Lenhart is a struggling investment banker who comes from money so old that it’s completely disappeared. His default pose is one of ironic disdain, especially for Dartmouth classmate Harry Lombardi, a clumsy, social-climbing software entrepreneur who stands on the threshold of Internet millions. (The book is set in the ear-ly ’90s, when “the World Wide Web” was a new concept.) Both men are in love with Kate Goodenow, a WASP debutante who’s just blond and blank enough to absorb countless male fantasies –and the hostilities of most of her female peers–with a devil-may-care gaiety that hides her most calculating manipulations....

The opponents seem to be a loony collection of odd bedfellows: Jesse Helms and Ernest Hollings, Ross Perot, some family farmers and small businessmen, Ralph Nader, some labor unions, and Rush Limbaugh....

Gay marriage was one of the hot-button issues in 2004, but Evan Wolfson, executive director of the gay-rights group Freedom to Marry and author of “Why Marriage Matters” (Simon & Schuster, 2004) doesn’t believe it’s likely to resonate at the polls on Nov. 7.

Furthermore, Pitchford explains that Gearbox isn’t as focused on the particular scores that Duke ends up receiving, but instead they hope to deliver an experience that engages the player from beginning to end.

While Gearbox isn’t quite ready to lift the lid on its highly anticipated open-world game just yet, it seems that the developer is storming ahead with production on the title.

The three new Gears of War 3 maps are of no surprise since they were revealed via the leaderboards last week.

That’s why it might be a relief to hear that more Game of Thrones is here right now in Beyond the Wall, a free-to-play turn-based tactics game that has its own story to tell, with a little fan service along the way. Set 48 years before the main events of the show, Beyond the Wall is set at (you guessed it) the Wall. And beyond it. You control the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch as you recruit troops, reinforce Castle Black, and send out scouting parties to find out what happened to Bryden Rivers – the former Lord Commander, now missing beyond the Wall, and destined to end up as the Three-Eyed Raven....

Varys was known not only for his savvy for information but also for his distinct look, which consisted of a bald head and floor-length robes. Hill, the Irish actor who portrayed Varys in Game of Thrones, did such a remarkable job with the role that many fans were convinced he is bald (and even a eunuch) in real life.

First off, Dying Light 2 revealed brand new gameplay along with a December 7 release date. The showcase looked similar to what fans got out of the first Dying Light game, though it was a worthwhile update.

RELATED: Shortest Open World Video Games With DLCs and the Skellige map included, The Witcher 3’s entire game world measures at roughly 88 square miles, or 142 square km. That’s a lot of ground to cover. However, as impressive as that may be, other games — even those released before The Witcher 3 — have even bigger maps. These few are just some of the best examples.
