  1. At this point, I can well imagine that the CEO of new entity is looking at the actual comics publishing part of DC Entertainment and the WB Games studios and saying, "Two of these things are not like the others." It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the rumored plan to drop the publishing arm of DC Entertainment and simply license the DC characters to other comics publishers does come to fruition. As for the games studios (no matter who owns them), I have little doubt that the management will call upon those parties that were originally interested in acquiring studios last year to gauge their current level of interest. I simply can't see how either AT&T or Discovery would have any compelling interest in remaining in the video game development industry.
  2. More information is necessary to determine the exact financial impact to AT&T as there will be differences between the "book" value and the "tax" value of the deal.
  3. The topic title is somewhat confusing. AT&T is spinning off ALL of its Warner Media assets into another company that will merge with Discovery to form a brand-new entity independent of AT&T.
  4. I really wonder what happens to WB Games with this new development as this essentially unravels the AT&T’s disastrous merger with Warner Media.
  5. Considering the potential "other" aspects of this sordid situation, this affair is positively trivial in comparison.
  6. Throw in the $1.3 billion/year to Egypt while we're at it, Bernie!
  7. Day 2 after receiving the second Moderna shot and I feel completely fine. In fact, the soreness in my shoulder from the injection site is gone.
  8. Speaking of South Africa, guess who helped its apartheid-era government develop and test a nuclear weapon?
  9. Probably only the 1948 war and that's a tenuous notion at best. 1956 - Israel joined the UK and France in a war of aggression against Egypt after the Nasser regime nationalized the Suez Canal 1967 - Israel preemptively attacked the Arab nations 1973 - Egypt and Syria attacked first, but the objective the war was to regain the Sinai (Egypt) and the Golan (Syira) which Israel had occupied during the 1967 war. 1982 - Israel invaded Lebanon to dislodge the PLO The claim that "the Arabs tried to drive Israel into the sea" is largely -- if not entirely -- right-wing Israeli and their American apologist propaganda.
  10. I see no parallels to the Hutu/Tutsi situation in Rwanda whatsoever - they simply aren't comparable circumstances in the least. As for the notion that if Israel relaxed its grip that they'd all be killed is simply ludicrous by every definition of the word. How on Earth would that even be remotely possible short of Hamas developing or importing a military capability that would be a near-peer with Israel? It's so far out of the realm of reality that it's not even worth considering. This isn't the situation that Israel found itself in from 1948 to 1967 (maybe as late as 1973) when there was genuinely an existential threat to Israel's existence, not even remotely close.
  11. As Palestine Suffers, A Call For Action KOTAKU.COM Stop me if you’re heard this one before. The language in this article is DESERVEDLY harsh against Israel (and the United States):
  12. GameSpot has also posted links to Palestinian relief organizations: Help Palestinian Civilians In Need By Donating To Charity - GameSpot WWW.GAMESPOT.COM There is a humanitarian crisis happening and Palestinians are in need. Here’s how you can help.
  13. I'm guessing she just called a couple of people that were already in her phone's contact list.
  14. Clicking on the flag on the banner leads directly to this page: How to Help Palestinian Civilians - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Here are ways you can help others during the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict by donating to various organizations.
