A strong rain team in Pokemon revolves around three key parts: a Pokemon that consistently brings the rain, fast attackers who excel in rainy conditions, and supportive Pokemon to keep the team’s momentum going. When built and played well, this type of team can easily win against most opponents, especially slower ones. Here’s our top rain team recommendation for Pokemon Champions.
Electronic Arts (EA) was established in 1982 and has been a publicly traded company since 1990. However, this is set to change. In September 2025, a group of investors – including the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, Silver Lake Financial, and Affinity Partners – announced they would be buying EA, taking it private. The purchase is expected to be completed in June 2026, at which point EA will no longer be listed on the stock market.
Just today, Bitcoin found itself tumbling below the rather alarming threshold of $71,000, following unsettling news regarding the US blockade at the Strait of Hormuz. But fret not, for the coin did make a valiant recovery, trading once more above the more respectable figure of $72K, after it was clarified that non-Iranian tankers would not find themselves ensnared in this maritime debacle. This swift rebound was further buoyed by none other than BlackRock, who, in a rather extravagant display of financial prowess, purchased a staggering $612 million worth of BTC. Ah, the whims of the market!
Ah, Kraken, the crypto leviathan, finds itself in a farce of extortion, a tragicomedy where the villains are not masked hackers from afar but, alas, the very hands that once tended its gardens. A criminal cabal, with the audacity of a street performer demanding coins for a botched juggling act, threatens to unveil videos of fleeting glimpses into the sanctum of client data. Yet, Kraken, with a shrug as cold as the depths it’s named after, refuses to feed the trolls.
The studio behind popular games like Uncharted and The Last of Us, owned by Sony, isn’t the only game developer known for requiring employees to work overtime – often called ‘crunch.’ However, it has gained a reputation for this practice due to several well-publicized instances. Recently, reports surfaced that the team working on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was already working long hours, even though the game isn’t expected to release for over a year. Now, a former employee with inside knowledge of the studio’s work culture is explaining why this might be happening.
2024 has been a fantastic year for Overwatch so far. The launch of Reign of Talon Season 1: Conquest on February 10th brought major changes to the game, including an updated user interface, ongoing storylines, and five new playable characters, with more heroes being added each season. They even simplified the name to just Overwatch. This relaunch has been incredibly popular, with the game reaching record numbers of concurrent players on Steam and other platforms.
The increasing use of on-screen markers in games is becoming a real issue. While helpful for some players, these features can overly simplify the experience for others. However, some open-world games handle markers well – either by using them sparingly, providing only gentle hints, or letting players explore and discover things on their own.
War storylines are common in anime and manga, but some are much more impressive than others. The best ones, like the epic Fourth Great Ninja War from the end of Naruto, truly stand out.
When Microsoft bought Bethesda, Starfield was first planned as a game only for Xbox and PC, as Microsoft aimed to boost its Xbox game selection. However, Microsoft later changed course, deciding to release games on more platforms to reach a wider audience and increase profits. This shift in strategy meant that Starfield became available on PlayStation 5 in 2026, three years after its initial release as an Xbox exclusive – a move that reflects a growing trend of former Xbox-exclusive games appearing on other platforms.
When ARC Raiders first launched, night raids were a key feature, letting players earn twice as much XP and better loot. However, these raids were more challenging due to increased ARC enemy activity and poor visibility. Since then, the game has added several other map conditions, including the recent additions of Hurrice and Close Scrutiny. Close Scrutiny introduces the Vaporizer, a powerful new ARC enemy that’s quickly become one of the game’s biggest threats.
