Although the Tales series has featured complex combat systems with intricate mechanics over the years, the recent entries have suffered from overcomplicated mechanics and a steeper learning curve for players new to the franchise. As a result, Tales of Arise is purposely moving towards a clean slate that is accessible for all kinds of players and it’ll likely function as a testing ground for future Tales games.

In the name of that gamble, Bandai has made the decision to take one further risk: a Tales of Arise demo set several hours into the game has been released on all consoles.

With the game’s release just a few weeks away, fans will now be able to try it out for themselves and decide whether or not they’re satisfied with the many changes this title offers....

Tales of the Jedi gave viewers a look at never-before-seen moments in Ahsoka Tano’s life, but it has only scratched the surface. There is still so much of her life that is waiting to be explored, from her time between The Clone Wars and Rebels to her time before, and during, The Mandalorian. While some upcoming Star Wars projects may explore these moments, nothing compares to actually being able to experience these moments as the character....

The Associated Press first reported, citing anonymous Taliban officials, that the temporary agreement had been announced, although the promised duration is unclear. The news service said that some have suggested it would last at least 10 days, and it is expected that the Taliban’s leader will sign the pending peace agreement. The U.S. hopes to ink a peace deal that would allow President Donald Trump to end the longest war in the nation’s history, which was launched 18 years ago in 2001 after the U....

Since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan last month, girls in first through sixth grade had been allowed to resume classes. However, the statement published Friday on Facebook neglecting to mention girls older than that has highlighted concerns that the Taliban may again impose restrictions on girls and women. During the Taliban’s previous rule of Afghanistan in the 1990s, women and girls had been forbidden from attending school and work....

Anonymous: I play in Second Life as Creed Archer, and I wonder if voice technology will change the comfort level for many who prefer texting. Real voice crosses a new line of personal involvement. Jessica Bennett: You make a good point. It’s psychologically proven that people open up more online—largely a result of that anonymity factor—and voice technology could certainly change that. At the same time, I imagine that, like IMing or chatting on Second Life, voice technology is optional—so if you’re not comfortable with it, you don’t have to engage....

He introduces the challenger to the Intercontinental Title at TLC, Dolph Ziggler, and the segment devolves into chaos. They go back and forth on the topic of the Intercontinental Title, where Mizanin contends that the Miz has made it the most relevant and prestigeous Championship in the WWE. Ziggler, on the other hand, points out that he wouldn’t be the champion had it not been for Maryse. They argue about the veracity of that point before Ziggler takes over with a stinging promo, saying that his journey to the top of the WWE has been nothing but ardous and that the Miz is done after TLC....

We were talking about Heath Ledger, and how sad it was that he died so young. Then she asked if someone came to “rip his soul out.” After making a mental note to pay more attention to the materials she brought home from her weekly religion classes, I explained that no one “rips” anything out of you. It’s something far more natural and peaceful, I said. Like a burp....

The two teams will look to be competing for homefield advantage, as they will play each other in the first round. However, Tampa Bay only leads the Seattle Mariners by a single game. So there’s a very real possibility that one of these teams will finish last by the conclusion of the week. The Rays will start with Jeffrey Springs on the mound. He has an ERA of 2.45, a 1....

The Japanese right-hander struck out 10 over eight innings, Gleyber Torres and Andrew McCutchen each hit two-run homers and the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 4-0 on Friday night. Tanaka (11-5) allowed three hits and didn’t walk anyone, but he wasn’t all that impressed. “I felt like I didn’t have my best stuff,” Tanaka said through a translator. “I didn’t have good command of my slider and had to make adjustments throughout the game....

But not everyone is pleased with some of the items included in the campaign. A viral tweet on Thursday mocking the campaign pointed out that some of the T-shirts included in the collection were considered problematic by people on social media. The shirts featured phrases used within the Black community, like “ha! tried” and “err thing blk.” Another shirt had the crossed-out phrase “Angry Black Woman.” “Target’s black history month collection has me weak....

But while the Tour de France’s cyclists face the first of a triple-header of mountain stages in the Alps, the mere mortals in tow can relax in the “Venice of the Alps” and dip into France’s second largest lake as well as taste some extra creamy cheese. After Monday’s rest day — following the cobblestones of Stage 9 — beside lovely Lake Annecy , riders face a 158.5-kilometer (98.5-mile) haul from Annecy that takes them over four serious climbs before a descent to Le Grand-Bornand....

The U.S. has around 900 soldiers in Syria, mostly split between the At-Tanf base in the south and the country’s eastern oil fields. They work with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a disproportionately Kurdish militia, to combat the remnants of ISIS. However, the Syrian government, led by President Bashar al-Assad, has long considered their presence illegal and demanded they leave. The Syrian Foreign Ministry reiterated this position in a statement on Monday that read: “The American side must immediately and unconditionally withdraw its military forces that are present on the territory of Syria illegally, refrain from stealing and smuggling Syrian oil and wheat, and lift the cover and protection from armed separatist groups and armed terrorist groups that are present....

System Shock 3 was formally announced in late 2015. The team was said to be made up of ex-Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios developers, headed by Deus Ex Director Warren Spector. Spector is also the director of the original System Shock, making System Shock 3 a highly anticipated release, yet System Shock 3 never grew into anything substantial and was always considered something of a mystery. The mystery now resolves itself, with the confirmation that the development team is being dissolved....

The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from two major veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, and sends it to the right ventricle, which pumps it to your lungs via the left and right pulmonary arteries. Here, it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enters the left ventricle, where it is pumped to the rest of the body by the aorta, the largest artery....

T lymphocytes (T cells) and B lymphocytes (B cells) are two types of white blood cells that perform immune functions in the lymphatic system. B-cells produce antibodies to attack bacteria and viruses that enter the body. T cells directly attack foreign invaders and cancer cells and produce chemicals that activate other immune cells. Lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, is grouped into two major types—Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s. Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a B-cell lymphoma....

T-Mobile’s Potential Privacy Headache As reported by Motherboard, a hacker began posting on a forum claiming that they have 100 million records of customer details ready to leak. The thing is, the hacker had not actually proven they had the records—they just said they had. T-Mobile is investigating if the claim is true, but the hacker has since reported to Motherboard about the information they managed to get. As Motherboard reports:...

New Zealand have given themselves a shot at lifting their maiden T20 World Cup this year. Kane Williamson and co. beat an in-form England on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi by five wickets in a nail-biter. They will either play Pakistan or Australia in the decider in Dubai on Sunday. Speaking to Sky Sports, Michael Atherton said New Zealand have proved themselves to be a highly consistent side across formats in the last two years....
