Episode #617: This week, we react to the extended Grand Theft Auto VI reveal and break down why it has us more excited than ever. From the scale of Vice City to the lighting, driving, gunplay, character switching, and all the tiny Rockstar details, this was the kind of gameplay look that makes you stop and realize just how big this game could be.We talk through the Netflix first reveal, whether that rollout helped or hurt the moment, and how the trailer landed after we finally got to watch it. The crew gets into Jason and Lucia, the car chase sequence, the improved combat, the world detail, the possible mini games, the social media systems, and why GTA 6 already looks like a game people could get lost in for years.Gamescom also gave us plenty to dig into. The Blood of Dawnwalker has our attention with its vampire Witcher energy, 30 day story structure, day and night systems, and choice driven world. Then Gears of War: E-Day brought the Xbox energy back with Marcus, Dom, brotherhood, brutal Locust, and a trailer that felt exactly like what Gears should be.Who are the XoneBros?We are your exclusive Xbox Series X & Game Pass weekly podcast.

What transforms a grasshopper into part of a rapacious horde? Poet, essayist, playwright and activist Joel O'Connor uses his most recent work, Locust, as a bridge between science and politics, between our nature as humans and the world around us. Like a true scientist, he hypothesizes. Listen to this interview and be transported to an Australia that exists beneath and alongside the contemporary culture, a place of regard and humility in the face of all that threatens the natural world.

Black locust doesn't have many fans among foresters in North America. It's often criticized for growing crooked, spreading aggressively, and producing poor-quality stems. But is the problem really the tree, or is it how we've been growing it? In this episode, Zsolt Keserű, Ph.D., Head of the Department of Plantation Forestry and Senior Research Fellow at the Hungarian Forest Research Institute, University of Sopron, shares how decades of European research and silvicultural innovation have made it possible to grow straight, high-quality black locust timber. Join us for this episode of SilviCast as we talk about the genetics and management practices behind successful black locust plantations, why the species has become such an important hardwood in parts of Europe, and what North American foresters can learn from that experience. If you've written off black locust, this conversation might make you take a second look.Send us Fan Mail

¡Apoya al podcast como FAN de Terraescribiente en IVOOX o en PATREON y escucha todos los audios sin restricciones! Bienvenidos a otro podcast de "Aventura Sonora" aquí en TERRAESCRIBIENTE. En esta ocasión: "GEARS OF WAR 3". Tras años de lucha incansable contra la Horda Locust, la humanidad se encuentra al borde de su último aliento. Las grandes ciudades han caído, los gobiernos se han derrumbado y los supervivientes vagan entre las ruinas de un mundo consumido por la guerra. Sin embargo, cuando parecía que la pesadilla llegaba a su fin, surge una amenaza aún más aterradora: los Lambent, criaturas mutadas por la Imulsión que se expanden como una plaga imparable, destruyendo tanto a humanos como a Locust. En este escenario apocalíptico regresa Marcus Fenix, veterano de incontables batallas y símbolo de la resistencia humana. Junto a sus inseparables compañeros del Escuadrón Delta, Marcus emprende una misión decisiva para encontrar una forma de detener la propagación Lambent y poner fin a décadas de sufrimiento. Pero el conflicto no solo se libra en los campos de batalla; también se combate en el corazón de quienes han perdido amigos, familias y toda esperanza de un futuro mejor. Mientras las alianzas se ponen a prueba y viejos secretos salen a la luz, Marcus descubre pistas relacionadas con el legado de su padre, cuya investigación podría contener la clave para salvar a la humanidad. La búsqueda los lleva a través de mares embravecidos, ciudades inundadas y fortalezas devastadas por la guerra, donde cada victoria se paga con sangre y sacrificio. A medida que el destino de Sera se acerca a su desenlace, humanos, Locust y Lambent convergen en una confrontación final de proporciones épicas. La supervivencia ya no depende de conquistar territorios, sino de decidir qué está dispuesto a sacrificar cada guerrero por aquellos a quienes ama. Gears of War 3 es una historia de heroísmo, pérdida y hermandad. Es el capítulo culminante de una saga donde los soldados luchan contra la oscuridad no porque crean que vencerán, sino porque se niegan a rendirse. En medio del caos y la destrucción, nace la última esperanza de un mundo que se resiste a desaparecer.

Why was a single tree the difference between survival and starvation on one of the most inhospitable peninsulas on Earth?

And how does a country go, in a single human lifetime, from 16,000 hungry people on a shrinking strip of sand to hosting the most controversial World Cup in history?John and Patrick tell the extraordinary story of Qatar — from the date palm groves and the pearl beds of the Gulf, to the oil discovery that changed everything.----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

On this, our 329th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we continue to discuss the West. We begin with readings of glorious California—from Stegner to Chandler to Didion—and reminisce about our own time growing up in LA. Then: the elections in California seem rigged, and if your elections are rigged, you don't have a democracy. Paper polls worked; in-person voting worked; exit polls provided information. Why did our elections change? The system as it stands is an invitation to fraud. A democratic republic is the only viable alternative, and Democrats are destroying the goose that lays the golden eggs, which makes the marvelous life of most people—including the men singing about not taking it anymore--possible. Meanwhile in the state of Washington: the newest Executive Order demonstrates just how spineless, powerless, and in need of replacement, our leaders are. EO 26-01 purports to address menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms; instead, it is a pandering, bureaucratic, gameable, woke, anti-scientific mess.

This week, Josh and Drusilla watched the very cozy Burnt Offerings. From wiki: “Burnt Offerings (Italian: Ballata macabra, lit. 'Macabre ballad') is a 1976 supernatural horror film co-written and directed by Dan Curtis and starring Karen Black, Oliver Reed, Bette Davis, and Lee H. Montgomery, with Eileen Heckart, Burgess Meredith and Anthony James in supporting roles. It is based on the 1973 novel by Robert Marasco.[7] The plot follows a family which begins to interpersonally dissolve under supernatural forces in a large estate they have rented for the summer. The film's title derives from the Book of Leviticus, referring to a "sacrifice by fire" and a "gift offered to God."[8]Also discussed: Marilyn Monroe's 100th Birthday, The Silver Book: A Novel by Olivia Laing, Backrooms (2026), I Love Boosters (2026), Watcher in the Woods (1980), Return from Witch Mountain (1978), Girls Just Wanna Fun (1985), The Midnight Hour (1984), Dark Shadows, Trilogy of Terror, Day of the Locust, Ruben and Ed, Phantasm, The Sentinel, The Legacy, Alliosn's Birthday, and more.

It's Monday, May 4th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christians in Afghanistan have to remain invisible to survive Being known as a Christian in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan brings lethal danger. In this country of 44 million people, Muslims comprise more than 99.7% of the population, reports International Christian Concern. Not long after the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan in August 2021, they declared that no Christians were remaining in the country. Though the Taliban claimed no Christians remained, Christians still exist—surviving only by remaining invisible. The Taliban reportedly searched door to door and through smartphones, hunting for any signs of Christian conversion. This reality highlights the core argument: Afghan Christians must stay hidden to survive. The situation also became highly precarious for other religious minorities, including Sikhs, Hindus, and the country's last Jewish resident. According to Open Doors, Afghanistan is the 11th most dangerous country for Christians worldwide. In John 15:19, Jesus said to His disciples, “If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” Trump withdraws 5,000 troops from Germany The United States will withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany in the next six to 12 months, the Pentagon said Friday, fulfilling President Donald Trump's threat as he clashes with the German leader over the U.S. war with Iran, reports the Associated Press. Trump had threatened to withdraw some troops from the NATO ally earlier this week after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the U.S. was being “humiliated” by the Iranian leadership and criticized Washington's lack of strategy in the war. Germany hosts several U.S. military facilities, including the headquarters of its European and Africa commands, Ramstein Air Base and a medical center in Landstuhl, where casualties from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were treated. U.S. nuclear missiles are also stationed in the country. The number of troops leaving Germany would be 14% of the 36,000 American service members stationed there. News of the troop withdrawal drew swift pushback from Democrats in Congress as well as a hawkish Washington think tank. They said the move will benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin and weaken U.S. security interests. Bradley Bowman, a scholar at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said the U.S. military's presence in Germany and elsewhere in Europe “not only strengthens deterrence against additional Kremlin aggression but also facilitates the projection of American military power into the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Africa.” Federal appeals court blocks mail-order abortion pills Ready for some great pro-life news? On May 1st, a federal court issued a ruling that temporarily blocked the ability to send the Abortion Kill Pill by mail. Of American mothers who abort, 63% choose to use abortion drugs. If ultimately upheld, this decision could save tens of thousands of babies from abortions, reports LifeNews.com. A panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans temporarily blocked a Biden administration rule allowing the abortion drug, mifepristone, to be dispensed through the mail. Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, called the ruling “a huge victory for victims and survivors of Biden's reckless mail-order abortion drug regime. We are so grateful for the tenacity of [Louisiana] Attorney General Liz Murrill, abortion drug coercion survivor Rosalie Markezich, and all our allies demanding action. “Women and children suffer and state sovereignty is violated every day the Food and Drug Administration allows abortion drugs to flood the mail – harms that are no mere accident, but predictable outcomes of the FDA's unscientific removal of safeguards like in-person doctor visits.” Republican State candidate found dead An investigation is underway into the death of a Republican state Senate candidate in Oklahoma who was found dead in his pickup truck on April 30th in a wildlife refuge, reports The Western Journal. Barry Christian, a candidate for state Senate District 38, had disappeared on April 28th, according to KOCO-TV. The Beckham County Sheriff's Office said a hunter reported to authorities that he had seen the wreck of a pickup truck that appeared to have crashed off a high ridge. 149th anniversary of God's locust miracle in Minnesota And finally, from 1873 to 1877, grasshoppers, also known as locusts, destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of crops in Minnesota, leaving eggs in the soil for the next season. On April 26, 1877, Minnesota Republican Governor John Pillsbury declared a statewide day of prayer and fasting to combat a devastating four-year Rocky Mountain locust plague, which was threatening widespread starvation. Schools and businesses closed, with many residents taking the day seriously, asking God for deliverance. Shortly after the day of prayer, an unseasonable cold snap and snow arrived, freezing and killing millions of hatching larvae grasshopper nymphs. It was divine intervention. God answered their prayers. Prayer At The Heart invites 1 million Christians to pray for an unbeliever Speaking of the power of prayer, Prayer At The Heart, a group founded in 2021, to pray for America, launched 50 days of prayer, inviting one million Christians to pray for the salvations of a friend or loved one through May 24th. Franklin Graham said, “The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association desires to express its appreciation and support for the efforts of Prayer At The Heart to see one million people come to Christ by Pentecost Sunday, 2026. This could be the beginning of the spiritual awakening our nation so desperately needs, a renewal found only in Jesus Christ.” Get access to a free 68-page, 50-day prayer guide through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Plus, check out their online ‘Prayer Wall' with scheduled prayer in every state for an hour each week. In Jeremiah 29:12-13, God said, “Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you.
