A disc-shaped object longer than the height of the Empire State Building emerged from the horizon of Ukraine's embattled Donetsk province last Friday, hovering eerily still a mile off the ground, a soldier has told DailyMail.com That soldier, a drone operator, had cautiously guided his infrared quadcopter 500-feet for a reconnaissance mission, struggling against high winds, when he suddenly spotted the flat, 1,300-foot-long UFO, which stood motionless despite those winds. In an interview from the warzone, the soldier, who is with the Ukrainian army's 406th Battalion, said he and his fellow servicemen had'never seen things like this before.' 'Initially, I thought that it was something new invented by the Russians,' he added, 'but then I understood... 'No! It might be [a] UFO.''

A disc-shaped, completely silent UFO was caught on camera by Ukrainian troops in the war-torn country, in footage shared exclusively with DailyMail.com. 'What the f-[expletive] is this? Why isn't it moving?' the men with Ukraine's 406th Battalion can be heard debating as they witnessed the deadly calm UFO hovering over their warzone. While the size, altitude, and shape of the object remain a mystery, the drone's own altitude indicates that the apparent object could be a large craft over 30 miles away. The eerie footage was captured by the 406th Battalion this month via one of the over 300 'heat vision' quadcopter drones used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) in their effort to defend the nation from a now two-years long invasion by Russia.

The Call of Duty devs are always trying to stay one step ahead of cheaters to protect the experience for all of us regular non-jerky players. Their latest move to prevent cheating may just be the funniest one yet. The devs have announced an appropriately-named feature called Splat. When a cheater deploys, the system occasionally disables their parachute, sending them careening to the ground until they, well, go splat. This was designed to call as much attention to the cheater as possible, with devs saying it'll be "immediately obvious" who's trying to game the system, as someone quickly descending from the sky is hard to miss.

In the mid-nineteen-nineties, Koushun Takami was dozing on his futon on the island of Shikoku, Japan, when he was visited by an apparition: a maniacal schoolteacher addressing a group of students. "All right, class, listen up," Takami heard the teacher say. "Today, I'm going to have you all kill each other." Takami was in his twenties, and he had recently quit his job as a reporter for a local newspaper to become a novelist. As a literature student at Osaka University, he had started and abandoned several horror-infused detective stories.

An artist was banned from a popular Reddit art community based on accusations that his artwork was an AI-generated design -- or looked too much like one. Ben Moran, an artist based in Vietnam, posted an image of his work "A Muse in Warzone" (2022), which he says was created using Photoshop, on r/Art, a subreddit with nearly 22 million members. The piece depicts Elaine, the protagonist of the Beneath the Dragoneye Moons fantasy series. Shortly after, the image was flagged by r/Art's moderators, and Moran sent a complaint, offering to provide the original .PSD file of the artwork for review. "I'm not using any AI supported [sic] and the punishment is not right," Moran said.

Gone are the days when free games equated to ropey puzzle games and knock-off clones of games that had a price tag. These days, courtesy of in-app payments and the ease of offering both a sample of a title alongside its full-fat version, there are actually plenty of great games to play without spending a dime. Following the continued success of titles like Fortnite, the level of quality across mobile, PC and consoles has never been higher. Put your card away, and consider this your starting point. At launch, many of us assumed Genshin Impact was a tenuous Zelda: Breath of the Wild copy with impressive anime graphics and not much else.

Again, the logic would dictate that Activision wants to migrate all its old "Warzone" players into "2.0," While Activision may have allowed players a way to continue to access all of their old unlocked/purchased content, it's doubtful the company would want its old free-to-play game to compete with its new one.

Our goal here is not only to light up the Modern Warfare scene and deliver a step change transformation in that regard, but also to think much bigger and have a much bigger ambition for the future of the franchise,

In the last decade, in-game events like Veteruns, store bundles and esports competitions have all been used as vehicles to raise money for charity. Between March 20 and April 3, all "Fortnite" proceeds were donated to four humanitarian relief funds to aid those affected by the war in Ukraine. Awesome Games Done Quick, in which players speed run hundreds of titles such as "Deathloop," "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" and "Super Mario 3D Land" for charity, raised over $3 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. And "League of Legends" players sent $6 million to Riot Games' Social Impact Fund through the purchase of the game's 1,000th skin.

The "Operation Monarch" playlist revolves around players' encounters with Kong and Godzilla. If you deal enough damage while the titans are enraged during a "Titan Frenzy," which occurs twice per game, you'll be able to control them with a Titan S.C.R.E.A.M. Device (Sonic Communication Radar and Echolocation Array Module). You can choose to either have Kong hurl an asteroid-size rock in a designated area or Godzilla evaporate your foes with its heat ray breath.
