Yugi and Kaiba Starter Deck Reloaded (2013) Both the Yugi and Kaiba starter decks received a make-over for a 2013 re-release that brought their fundamental themes up-to-date. Fronted by the usual Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon, these decks contain several worthwhile additions to the collection. Firstly, Kaiba Starter Deck Reloaded has a strong set
Month: April 2020
Supernatural has been a constant in the TV landscape for more than a decade. Currently making its ways through its 15th and final season toward what was supposed to be a 2020 series finale, a halt in production due to the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the plans for bringing this beloved series about two brothers
Mangamo, a new manga streaming app built by executives from Hulu, Crunchyroll, Netflix, Viz, and others has launched with hundreds of titles and a two month trial, perfect for testing the waters on new books or a new comics format. The app is available on iOS devices initially, and we got a chance to test
The origins of this rumor are a little difficult to trace, but one of the earliest reports stems from an old “leak” that suggested Rockstar was playing with the idea of setting Grand Theft Auto 6 in modern-day Liberty City. That same report hinted at a grittier atmosphere, which was compared to The Wire, and
Researchers of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have synthesized nanoparticles that can be induced by a change in pH to release a deadly dose of ionized iron within cells. This mechanism could potentially open up new approaches to the targeted elimination of malignant tumors. Ions play crucial roles in all aspects of cell biology. They trigger

With major spoilers for episode eight, here’s what we learned from the finale. Why could Emily see again? Emily wasn’t born blind, but lost her eyesight as part of a degenerative genetic condition. (Jonathan isn’t her biological father, which he knows but Emily doesn’t). For an as-yet unexplained reason, she and Sacha are tuned into
As far as rumors go, most internet chatter points to an old screenshot from 2016 that shows a landmark from Liberty City remade in Grand Theft Auto V’s RAGE engine. The screenshot was found in the LinkedIn portfolio of a Rockstar employee and has led many fans to speculate that this was, in fact, the
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Still, in times of social distancing and quarantine, it’s nice to see some work is getting done behind the scenes at HBO Max. Indeed, the incoming streaming service from WarnerMedia announced Thursday a bonanza of new shows they’re developing with J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions—with

Electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels and value-added feedstocks, ideally if powered by renewable electricity, provides a route to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and simultaneously close the carbon loop. At present, the rational design and controllable synthesis of more efficient catalysts, combined with the understanding of the catalytic mechanism, in order to achieve

These gases are attractive clean energy alternatives to carbon dioxide-producing fossil fuels.

It’s nice to see Gregor back. His recent beheading really works for him. It’s a good look even if it makes conversation distracting. Nadja’s reincarnating recurring lover pulls his best Beeteljuice faces to mark his claim on his new haunts. It is hysterical watching the vampires flee from the spooky spectacle. It is also gratifying
Garrett, in particular, was riding high Tuesday, with his only loss of the night coming against McNeil. In a blowout victory over Jon Duplantier (Arizona Diamondbacks), Garrett felt confident enough to call in a closer — his fiancee — to play the final out for him (video, go to 42:35). Although she resisted at first,
I thought “Tear Me Down” was really fun, its challenging in some ways. But I thought “Wig in A Box” actually became extremely challenging just because of the amount of people on it, and the intricacies of all the different costume changes. I would say that was the most challenging of the ones I was

CAMBRIDGE, MA — MIT engineers have developed a way to closely track how plants respond to stresses such as injury, infection, and light damage, using sensors made of carbon nanotubes. These sensors can be embedded in plant leaves, where they report on hydrogen peroxide signaling waves. Plants use hydrogen peroxide to communicate within their leaves,
In the last decade, perovskites – a diverse range of materials with a specific crystal structure – have emerged as promising alternatives to silicon solar cells, as they are cheaper and greener to manufacture, while achieving a comparable level of efficiency. However, perovskites still show significant performance losses and instabilities, particularly in the specific materials

Quiz loops all that subtext in to its high-tension caper with an impressively light touch. The Ingrams aren’t demonised for their privilege here, far from it, but their social status is never not there. It’s in Chris Tarrant’s repeated mockery of the Major’s army title, and in the general assumption among the studio crew that Charles
