Taylor Swift is a bona fide music megastar first and foremost, but she’s got plenty of acclaim in the beauty world, too. Not only can she rock a classic red lip with aplomb, her signature thick bangs pretty much always look perfect—and are almost as recognizable as her hit songs. But even Taylor has some not-so-great hair days. As the singer pointed out in an Instagram post earlier this week, it doesn’t take long for eyebrow-grazing fringe to become in-your-eyes-annoying. She took a break from working in the studio (recording her new album, we hope?!) to snap a cute selfie of her extra-lengthy locks. “My bangs are long enough to use as a sleep mask on long flights,” she commented. “So really, I just need a haircut.” From the looks of her most recent pic, Taylor was indeed able to get a trim—just in time to sip H๏τ drinks with her BFF Ed Sheeran! Whether she hit the salon or did a quick and easy DIY job, her fresh cut is a fantastic example...

It's been almost ten years since Final Fantasy 14 relaunched with its A Realm Reborn update, and in that time, it's become one of the highest-rated and best MMORPGs around.

Many of you watching HBO's The Last Of Us will likely rewatch the whole series once all nine episodes have aired, noticing things you didn't notice before. Some fans have already been doing that with three episodes to go, picking up on a very subtle detail from the opening moments of episode one. The first indicator viewers get suggesting people have already started to become infected is when Sarah's elderly neighbor is making disturbing movements behind her. That same neighbor is the first infected person Sarah sees later in the episode, or that's what most of us previously thought. Turns out there was an indicator people were already becoming infected before either of those instances.

Mars wasn’t as silent as first thought, it turned out. Instead, the criмson planet is shaking and groaning due to strong seisмic actiʋity. Deep within the planet, there are dynaмic shocks, and right now, мolten laʋa мay Ƅe gushing just Ƅelow the Martian crust. If true, it would contradict our long-held understanding of Martian geodynaмics and suggest that ʋolcanic actiʋity on the red planet is not only possiƄle Ƅut also ongoing, and that it occurs мore frequently than was preʋiously thought.

Quick facts When is it? Every February 19th It's also known as... Tug of War Day Tagged as Hobbies & Activities What are the hashtags? #TugofWarDay #InternationalTugofWarDay Have we missed something? From a distance, it might just look like two groups of people fighting over the ownership of a rope. But it’s so much more than that. It’s a game. It’s a sport. It’s Tug of War! And along with it comes International Tug of War Day! History of International Tug of War Day One of the simplest of sports, perhaps dating back to ownership disputes over food and clothing, the history of Tug of War disappears into legend with the Sun and Moon wrestling over light and darkness. The basic elements of the game are simple: two teams hold each end of a large rope and attempt to pull the other towards them, over some sort of barrier or line in the middle, in order to win. From humble beginnings, Tug-of-war has become a competitive sport that takes place around the w...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is currently unplayable on PC. Developer Treyarch has remained silent as the servers remain offline for more than two days, with players left totally in the lurch. Treyarch confirmed Black Ops 4 on PC was "experiencing technical issues and may appear offline." It later confirmed it was working to "rectify the issue," but didn’t say what the issue was or when servers would come back online. Related: What Happened To The FPS Genre’s Obsession With Deagles?

Way back in 1999, Nintendo held a promotional event at the now-defunct MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park in Las Vegas. Called “Slamfest ‘99,” the event pitted Mario, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi against each other in a wrestling match to promote the upcoming N64 release of the original Super Smash Bros. Unless you were actually present at the event, the only other way to see it was via a livestream through Nintendo's site. Zelda 64 Planet managed to take a few screenshots, with Vice publishing them online back in 2020, but the pictures weren't very good since livestreaming Technology was pretty bad back in '99.

The Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk was a private-venture, prototype attack helicopter built in 1970 with Sikorsky Aircraft research and development (R&D) funds.A tandem, two-seat aircraft designed around the dynamic drive and rotor systems of the Sikorsky S-61, it was designed to serve as an attack helicopter or to transport up to eight troops into combat. Here’s What You Need to Remember: The S-67 Blackhawk wasn’t just fast, it also packed one hell of a punch. When on an attack mission, the helicopter could carry more than 7,000 pounds of ωɛλρσɳs and ammunition–including a turret-mounted 7.62 machine gun, 20 and 30mm cannons, 40mm grenade launchers, and even wing-mounted rockets or TOW missile pods to engage heavy armor or tanks. Sikorsky’s H-60 series of Black Hawk helicopter s have become legendary for their prowess on the battlefield, but almost a decade before the first UH-60 entered service, Sikorsky had a different sort of Blackhawk in mind: The S-67 attack helicop...

At some point we've all wondered: "Would I like myself if I met myself?" Unfortunately, only twins and clones will truly know the answer to this question. Similarly, many of us have also wondered if we'd like the version of ourselves from a few years ago – for that, we'd need a time machine. However, there is another way to answer these questions. A mystical technique, mastered only by a few – mods. Mods allow you to fulfill your wildest dreams. All you have to do is wish for something, and there's probably already a mod for it. In this particular case a mod for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion that lets you import your character from Morrowind. This means, you can hang out with your old character from TES 3, or if you didn't really like yourself then, fight them. As spotted by PC Game r, Cross- Game Invader Add-On is a rather unique mod that connects both the Game s. RELATED: My First Time With Oblivion: How I Missed An Ent...
