Eagles and crocodiles are two of the most fascinating creatures in the animal kingdom. They are both powerful ргedаtoгѕ, each with their own ᴜпіqᴜe set of ѕkіɩɩѕ and abilities. While it may seem unlikely, these two Animals have been known to engage in Ьаttɩeѕ from time to time.

Magic: the Gathering’s chief designer Mark Rosewater has released his customary "Duelist-style" teaser prior to the official start of Machine of the Machine’s previews. And one of those teasers might just foretell a team-up that As usual, these teasers are often cryptic and unclear, providing dubiously useful information at best. For example, Rosewater told us there are "numerous cards that mechanically care about Phyrexians" in an expansion that’s dedicated to Phyrexia’s invasion of the multiverse. We probably could have guessed that one. But there are other teasers that provide tantalizing looks at what’s to come.

Bandai Namco is finally celebrating Elden Ring's first anniversary almost a month after it passed. Okay, the reveal of its DLC was sort of a way to mark that occasion, but now its creators have put together a Spotify Wrapped-style list of stats breaking down what you've all been doing in The Lands Between for the past 12 months, and it turns out you haven't been killing each other as much as you might think. On Bandai Namco's stats page is a pie chart revealing just how everyone has been dying during year one, showing players have died a staggering nine billion times in Elden Ring. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of those deaths have come at the hands, swords, and spells of enemies and NPCs. In a distant second is status effects, and then falling to your death right behind it, you clumsy lot.

In the last few years this suburban town in the MetroWest region has been rated as one of most livable and family friendly communities in Massachusetts. One of many good things going for Wayland is the amount of natural space all around the town, from the shores of Lake Cochituate, home to an awesome town beach, to the freshwater wetlands along the banks of the Sudbury River. The Mass Central Rail Trail runs west to east through Wayland and into Weston, for a traffic-free walk or bike ride that connects a shopping center at its western terminus. Wayland also has the distinction of being home to the oldest free public library in Massachusetts, and the second-oldest in America. 1.

Shifting more albums and filling more stadiums than her contemporaries, Taylor has created a hysteria unseen since the industry’s golden era. In late 2018, The New York Times ran a piece hailing the arrival of “pop 2.0”. Headlined by the likes of Drake, Ed Sheeran and Bad Bunny, the superstars connected to this more fluid approach to cultural dominance are more streaming-focused than their download and CD-flogging forebears, with their success built from the rubble of a once all-powerful monoculture. As audiences have splintered, aided by the sheer scale of the internet, and the inverse size of internet-saturated attention-spans, dominant, all-encompᴀssing megastars like Madonna, Michael Jackson and Britney, aka 1.0, have started to feel like relics from another time. Straddling both camps, however, and almost existing as pop’s sole example of what no one is calling pop 1.5, is  Taylor Swift . (An argument can be made for Beyoncé and Rihanna, although the lat...
