Game Rant spoke with Voracious Games co-founder Aryo Darmawan and writer/narrative designer Nick Eliopulos about the design of Potionomics and how the team achieved the comedic undertone of the game through its unique characters and magical world. The following interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. RELATED: Hogwarts Legacy Reveals Healing Potion Ingredients GR: Please start off by introducing yourselves. In what capacity did you work on Potionomics?...

It was not difficult to surmise why he seemed so happy: by day’s end de Villepin had thoroughly outmaneuvered U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell. Resolution 1441, which had insisted on active compliance by Iraq in revealing and destroying its weapons of mass destruction, would get more time. Earlier in the week, of course, the Americans were talking about the possibility of pushing immediately for a second resolution after Hans Blix’s update to the Security Council on Friday....

RELATED: Hades Achievements Not Unlocking for Some Xbox Players The other gamepad mentioned by Wario 64 was the PowerA Hades Switch Controller. While no price was listed and preorders are not yet available, it seems likely that the price will exceed the Power-Up Mario Switch Controller based on the extra features included in the design. Some of the highlights are wireless connectivity with Bluetooth 5.0, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and the addition of 2 mappable buttons on the back of the controller, a feature normally seen on more expensive controllers such as the Xbox Elite Series....

The jackpot could increase if sales further lottery projections, according to officials.

There was no grand prize winner on Saturday, but there was a ticket sold in Texas that matched all five white balls, and just missing out on the red Powerball, for the game’s second prize of $1 million....

The numbers drawn Wednesday night were 04, 19, 24, 47 and 66 for the white balls, while the red Powerball was 10 and the Power Play was 2x. The numbers drawn two nights ago on Monday night were 29, 30, 32, 48 and 50 for the white balls, while the red Power Ball was 20 and the Power Play was 2x. There was no grand prize winner on Monday, so the jackpot for Wednesday 11/30/22 increased to $65 million....

No one has claimed the $149 million jackpot for the November 7 draw, according to the Powerball website. As a result, the prize money will now roll over to the next drawing on Thursday, November 12. The estimated jackpot then will be $158 million (with a cash value of $123.6 million). Even though no-one won the jackpot in Saturday night’s draw, there were some big winners. Ten players matched four white balls and the Powerball correctly to win $50,000 prizes....

According to the Powerball website, the winning numbers for December 25, were 2-4-16-30-46. The Power Ball was 20 with a Power Play of X2. However, no one managed to win the jackpot this time in either the Powerball game or Power Play. There were four winners of the Match 5, giving each ticket holder a windfall of $1 million. Meanwhile, 21 ticket holders matched four numbers and the Power Ball, and with the Power Play of X2, that entitles them to a prize of $100,000 each....

Clark won support from 14 percent registered Democrats and democratic leaners, outpacing former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (12 percent), Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman (12 percent), Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry (10 percent) and Missouri Congressman Dick Gephardt (8 percent). Meanwhile, as Americans focus on the fiscal realities of creating a stable Iraq, President George W. Bush’s approval ratings continue to slide, the poll shows. The president’s approval rating now stands at 51 percent, down 1 point from last week’s poll and from 65 percent on May 1, when major hostilities in Iraq ended....

Some months ago, however, Pollard expressed a desire to play Test cricket. In an interview in March last year with West Indies cricket sponsors, Digicel, the tall Trinidadian had this to say: “Yes definitely I do want to play Test Cricket. In regards to preparing for it I am working on batting longer through the innings, being more patient and focusing on my shot selection. I also need to play more 1st class cricket and just work on overall improving my game....

title: “Polyend Play Is Weird Opinionated And Kind Of Awesome” ShowToc: true date: “2023-01-20” author: “Carter Casper” There are almost as many sequencers as there are opinions about the best kind. And the Play, recently announced at Berlin’s Superbooth music show, is a weird one. It plays samples, but it cannot record them. It can control synthesizers via MIDI, but it has no built-in sound generators. And yet it’s one of the most interesting sequencers to appear in a while....

And worried. Polygamy’s a felony in Utah, though officials rarely prosecute. Tapestry contends that the A.G.’s become too lenient–and shouldn’t consort with criminals. Which leads to another debate: whether polygamy should be a crime at all. “Even Mark Shurtleff would love to see it reduced to a misdemeanor,” Wilde says. “They’ve already said there’s no way they can prosecute 30,000 consenting adults. What are they going to do–rope off the entire state?...

The PomaBrush is a simple, waterproof, all-silicone toothbrush that only needs to be charged three times a year. It would be a good option for people who go camping, travel for work a lot or just want a low-hassle electric toothbrush option. Founder and CEO Andrei Majewski says the minimalist creation is a response to developments in mainstream electric toothbrush design: “Each generation has more features than the previous, it’s bigger and bulkier, just as impractical, and just as unappealing....

Pompo the Cinephile follows the exploits of a young prodigy film producer, Pompo, who follows in her grandfather’s footsteps in the movie business of Nyallywood. On an inspired hunch, Pompo’s latest project involves her own script as the directorial debut of her executive assistant, Gene, and the headlining of unknown actress Lily. When Pompo pulls some strings to also attach the legendary retired actor Martin Braddock to the project, the result is a winding series of light, circumstantial reflections on the intuitive and unpredictable art of movie-making....

Touring captain Kohli is one of the world’s best batsmen and Ponting is keen to see his former side prevent the India star from finding his groove early in the opening Adelaide Test. Much has been made of Australia’s ethos since the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa in March, with the team attempting to change negative perceptions, but Ponting believes this should not stop them from sledging Kohli, particularly if it is backed up with good bowling....

Maxis had explained earlier that pools were removed so that the studio could focus their attention on Build Mode features, like the ability to directly place stylized rooms into houses on the fly. The explanation made less sense later, when the studio announced pools would arrive via a free content update anyway, prompting many to question why the studio was keen on releasing the game without features that should have been in it from day one....

Part of Sega’s 60th anniversary celebration, Sonic 2 is among many games that Sega is discounting on Steam with a discount of up to 95% off of several games in the series including Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic 3D Blast, and Sonic Spinball. RELATED: Sonic the Hedgehog Games That Deserve the Mario 35th Anniversary Treatment Sonic 2 is often celebrated as one of the best 2D entries in the series since the game’s original release on the Sega Genesis in 1992....

The original GameCube was released in 2001 and competed with the likes of the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox. While for many the console did not outshine its competition, the GameCube did have quality games that included successful franchises such as Zelda, Metroid Prime, and a host of Mario titles. It now seems that there were plans to bring this technology to a portable market and many are already claiming that it may have given the likes of the PSP tough competition....

Portugal have rallied around captain Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of Thursday’s Euro 2012 quarter-final against the Czech Republic here. It will be the third meeting between the two sides in the last five championships, with each side having won one apiece — the most important belonging to the Czechs in the 1996 quarter-finals on their way to losing to Germany in the final. Paulo Bento’s Portugal have got where they are thanks to their team ethic and after seeing Ronaldo finally click into gear in Sunday’s game against the hapless Dutch to score both goals in the 2-1 win....

Because it finished Ronaldo. He went down after being hit, and because there was no call it was easy to suspect it was a theatrical display by Ronaldo to complain about the decision. But as the game continued when he got to his feet, he was noticeably diminished. Near the 18-minute mark, he went down to the turf in tears, figuring he was done for the day in the most important game of his international career....

Portugal started their qualifying campaign poorly, drawing their first two games against Serbia and Ukraine. However, they have bounced back strongly, beating Serbia and Lithuania comprehensively, scoring nine goals in the process. They are currently second in the group with eight points, five points adrift of Ukraine, who have amassed 13 points. Luxembourg started their campaign brightly with a victory over Lithuania, however, it has all gone downhill since then with three losses in four games....
