Oh cool, I had no idea Eventhubs covered my Evo interview from last year. This was the same Evo I asked them about how they picked their roster.

Of the DPS classes you should split between physical and casters, there should be a mix of magic and physical damage DPS (so you don't fight over gear). Given the limitations of classes available an option or two should appear. Pick the coolest of the two.

The answer you'll be swamped by is "play what you like" but the real answer is coordinate with the group you're playing with (I assume the girls) to make sure you have 1 tank, 1 healer, rest DPS and also make sure you don't overlap armour types so dungeon loot isn't contested.

Not a full, scored review because I think you need Horde and PvP for that, but in the meantime please enjoy this strapline that I am very proud of www.eurogamer.net/gears-of-war...

I spoke to several sources working hard at The Coalition, who have experienced increased anxiety around layoffs and promised Metacritic bonuses since Xbox's Reset. The sudden cut of story director Juan Vaca only fueled these fears. Read it below!

When I left IGN/GN, I vowed to try to give as much work to as many people fresh out of publications as possible during these cuts - but even for a healthy business, the demand/need now is impossible. The future is independent, smaller, & reader-supported. Support the coverage you want to see!

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

UK publishers / media owners - have you turned off AI overviews in Google Search Console for your site(s), and if so, what impact has it had? Should be a no brainer decision as this post says it won't affect rankings, but I'm wary that's actually not true!

bbc.co.uk

UK publishers allowed to opt out of Google AI search results

The Competition and Markets Authority says it would put publishers "in a stronger position to negotiate content deals with Google".
