It’s normal for people to have some staph bacteria on their skin or inside their noses. The bacteria are not causing an active infection or harm, but some of these people are “carriers” and can spread the germ to others. Carriers can also become infected if their immune system becomes stressed or through a cut in their skin. Staphylococcus aureus can cause a type of ear infection called otitis externa, also known as “swimmer’s ear....

Star Ocean: The Divine Force is being developed by tri-Ace and published by Square Enix, and recently a new video was released focusing on the game’s combat. The video starts with a narrative introduction to the character called D.U.M.A., a robotic companion “imbued with superior intelligence and self-cognizance.” Going by the video, D.U.M.A. will play a significant role in the story as much as the gameplay of Star Ocean: The Divine Force....

Transporters work via the futuristic science of breaking apart whatever is being transported into individual molecules, and then beeping them across distances to be reassembled upon arrival. There’s a lot more complicated fictional science that goes into the process, but that is the main principle. Transporters are used throughout the franchise to transport people traveling from one ship to another, or only various planets for away missions. They’re also used to transport people back in emergencies, such as shuttle malfunctions or in conflict....

The Last Jedi was the second movie in the sequel trilogy following J.J. Abrams’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. While many fans expected this movie to bridge the gap between the beginning and the end of this new trilogy, Johnson clearly had his own story he wanted to tell, one that subverted a lot of the fan expectations. While Abrams seemed to set up various mysteries to be explored over the course of the trilogy, Johnson gave his own answers that were unexpected and unsatisfying to some....

Perhaps “Devil’s Deal” benefits from last week’s filler episode which stalled the show’s momentum, but this dose of world-building is so rich that it energizes the show. Crosshair is a menacing presence, lurking in the shadows as Rampart oversees the uneasy peace with the familiar Syndulla family, including a young Hera and Chopper.

Ahsoka Tano was first introduced not in the movie, but in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie from 2008. Though not essential viewing, this marks the first appearance of the character and starts building her relationship with her Jedi Master: Anakin Skywalker. Both characters would then go on to the animated series of the same name, where they would play essential roles. Their relationship would go on to become one of the main dynamics of the series, where Tano’s desire to prove herself often clashed with Anakin’s recklessness....

Reddit user TheMediocreCritic speculated that Obi-Wan might have been told his fate by the force ghost of his own dead Master, Qui-Gon Jinn. Armed with that knowledge, Obi-Wan’s reasoning for basically hiding in a cave and waiting for years would make more sense. Star Wars deals heavily with prophecies and more importantly, destiny. Had Qui-Gon shown Obi-Wan not just his prospective future, but how that future promised a redemption, of sorts, that might have been enough for Obi-Wan....

His contract would supposedly grant him a $7,500 dollar up-front payment, with 0.5% royalties for every copy sold.

While the idea of a new Star Wars game has had fans of the franchise excited for quite a while now, Quantic Dream has had its fair share of detractors over the last few years. In 2018, three separate French news outlets wrote about accusations that Quantic Dream allowed and in some instances even encouraged a workplace culture of racism, sexism, and homophobia. Those accusations specifically mentioned Studio head David Cage who was alleged to have told dirty jokes and made inappropriate comments about female actors in his games....
