It took Klay six years to research and write the book, which follows four characters in Colombia who come together in the shadow of our post-9/11 wars. I loved Phil Klay’s first book, Redeployment (which won the National Book Award), so Missionaries was high on my list of must-reads when it came out in October. Have a recommendation of your own? Send an email to and we’ll include it in a future story. Here’s a brief list of some of the best books we read here at Task & Purpose in the last year. Luckily, there were a few bright spots: namely, some of the excellent works of military history and analysis, fiction and non-fiction, novels and graphic novels that we’ve absorbed over the last year. Between the political unrest and novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it’s difficult to look back on the year and find something, anything, that was a potential bright spot in an otherwise turbulent trip around the sun. Let’s be real: 2020 has been a nightmare. But will their combined forces be enough to foil an ancient enemy who is mixing Greek and Egyptian incantations for an evil purpose? Rick Riordan wields his usual storytelling magic in this adrenaline-fueled adventure. As they battle with Celestial Bronze and glowing hieroglyphs, the four heroes find that they have a lot in common - and more power than they ever thought possible. Weird creatures are appearing in unexpected places, and the demigods and magicians have to team up to take them down. Magic, monsters, and mayhem abound when Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase meet Carter and Sadie Kane for the first time.

The game provides action-packed scenarios for both single player and multiplayer modes, with the latter being far more prominent. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person shooter that plunges you into the war against terrorism in single player mode and a thrilling experience in multiplayer mode. One can imagine how much bigger a difference having a boat would make when it is unlikely for you to be able to have your whole army be on horseback (the way to make your army move quickly in Mount & Blade Warband) as well as the intensely large new map which includes 300 cities, castles and villages spread across the British Isles, Denmark, Norway and the northern coast of continental Europe. Most notable of the new features is the inclusion of naval things in general: Combat, travel, owning a boat and coastal assaults. You can take a look at the first gameplay trailer right here. While the Brytenwalda mod itself had added many new features, the features list of Viking Conquest is astounding. Mount & Blade Warband Viking Conquest is a massive overhaul of the original Warband. Of course, now we know this bigger idea was in fact the Mount & Blade Warband Viking Conquest DLC being made jointly by Brytenwalda and Taleworlds Entertainment. In late 2012, the mod was officially completed and the makers of the mod announced that the oft requested expansion of their mod to include the Vikings wasn’t going to happen, because they had bigger ideas and aspirations, which they couldn’t talk about. Basically, the beginning of the Dark Ages. One such mod was Brytenwalda, a mod that completely converted Mount & Blade Warband to a game set in 7th century northern Europe. Thus development of the game fell onto the community and many mods have been made to either improve or alter the game entirely. Unfortunately, since then, Taleworlds Entertainment, the makers of the series, had somewhat neglected the series in favor of working on and releasing a standalone expansion of the original game, Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword in 2011, which was set in 17th century eastern Europe and introduced primitive fire arms into the mix. It was big jump from the original Mount & Blade that released in 2008. It’s been more than 4 years since Mount & Blade Warband released (or nearly 4 months if you play on Mac/Linux) and introduced the Sarranid Sultanate, the ability to create your own kingdom from your land holdings, marriage, multiplayer and much, much more. I will be following the story of this game and check out all the new features including naval combat! This is my first series covering the newest DLC for Mount and Blade: Warband, Viking Conquest. Vikings has a story mode that revolves around the Viking conquest of England during the Viking Age but you can play it as a sandbox.

While the edits improve Sofia's performance a bit, Coda is not going to start a major reevaluation of her skills as an actor. Sofia unfairly received the bulk of the criticism when the film was originally released - she was an inexperienced last-minute replacement for Winona Ryder - but has gone on to prove herself as one of the best indie directors. There are a few brief cuts from the film, namely - as stated above - Michael flashing back to Fredo’s death while receiving the Order of Saint Sebastian honor from the church and some of Mary’s more stilted dialogue from the balcony scene with Vincent ( Andy Garcia). (The establishing shot of New York City in the late-'70s, complete with the Twin Towers, has been removed entirely.) We then hear Michael’s voiceover as he writes a letter to his daughter Mary and his son Tony (Franc D'Ambrosio). This decision helps the audience make sense of the at-times confusing Vatican plot and sets it in motion much quicker and with more urgency. Instead of the flashback to the Lake Tahoe compound where Michael Corleone’s ( Al Pacino) brother Fredo (John Cazale) was killed at the end of Part II, it begins with the scene where Archbishop Gilday (Donal Donnelly) asks Michael for money, which didn’t arrive until about 40 minutes into the movie. You’ll immediately notice a difference when you start the film. The Coda release is actually shorter than the original by four minutes. So what exactly has changed, and was it worth it? Let’s take a closer look at Coppola's changes from the original cut to this new version and you can decide whether it’s worth another shot.įirst off, if you’re looking for more of the Godfather saga, you’re going to be a little disappointed. This was a welcome opportunity for him to right the wrongs. For a variety of reasons, The Godfather, Part III never lived up to its predecessors and its stigma of damaging what should have been the best trilogy ever made has always gnawed at Coppola. Coming up with a satisfying conclusion to any beloved story is difficult (just ask the people who made The Sopranos), but even more difficult when the two prior chapters are among the best movies ever made. This was welcome news for both Godfather and film fans because, well, The Godfather, Part III isn’t a very good movie. More information on sideloading is available directly from Oculus VR and VRFocus will keep you updated with any changes to the ability to utilise external applications on the Oculus Rift. This process is essential for developers planning to use the consumer version of the Oculus Rift for continued development, however unexperienced users should be wary of using unauthorised software from developers they don’t trust.

Well, the truth has now been revealed: the ability to ‘sideload’ on the Oculus Rift does exist, and is actually very easy to find. While Oculus VR insisted that they wouldn’t close off the consumer edition from being able to launch software from outside of its proprietary Oculus Home software, many doubted Oculus VR’s intentions. There has been some debate about the Oculus Rift’s ‘walled garden’ for some time. You even see a strange sharing of characters in the recent Morbius trailer, when Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes (introduced in Spider-Man: Homecoming) appeared and interacted with Jared Leto. Instead, to me, if feels very much like Sony and Marvel are floating a trial balloon to see how audiences respond to a character from the Garfield movies moving over to the MCU. They’re certainly free to make Electro the first villain to double dip in the MCU… but would they really use the SAME actor to play him on screen? I don’t think so. Marvel and Sony have since gone out of their way to use villains who have not been used in previous Spider-Man films. It’s very possible that Jamie Foxx really has been cast as the MCU version of Electro, even after he played Electro for Sony in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man. The second project was meant to be Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but because of theatrical delays, that sequel will come out AFTER the third MCU Spider-Man movie, so it won’t be used to set up any kind of crossover in the Spidey films.ĭon’t think for a second, though, that I didn’t get excited about possible Tobey Maguire inclusion because Marvel hired Sam Raimi to replace Scott Derrickson on that Doctor Strange sequel.Īll of this could be fan-fiction. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) easily could do something that tears a whole in the fabric of time and space, opening a portal to the multiverse that invites Foxx’s Electro to walk on through. Giving Tom Holland a reason for needing assistance from Garfield and Maguire.īut how can the multiverse take shape? There are two Marvel projects that are expected to set the stage for multiverse projects, and one of them, Disney+’s WandaVision, will occur before Spider-Man 3 reaches theaters. Bringing Electro over from the Sony-specific Spider-Man films also builds the villain pool so that we are even closer to a Sinister Six movie, It’s easy to step back and see that Electro showing up in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man world can be a foot in the door as to explaining how Garfield would follow. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set to release in May 2014.So, why would they do this? Again, as many started to speculate, Marvel and Sony might be blurring the line between their franchises so that Andrew Garfield, and maybe even Tobey Maguire, can join Tom Holland in a live-action Spider-Verse movie. And I’m ecstatic it won’t be a direct copy of the first Spider-Man franchise (plus Gwen Stacey.)

American Beauty actor, Chris Cooper, has been cast as Osborn, but it is uncertain whether Osborn will be on the early brinks of becoming the Green Goblin or take the position head on. the Green Goblin, has been added to the line up as well for this sequel. These villains might be working for a classic Spider-Man villain with mastermind means. How are two thieves going to threaten Spider-man? My theory, they won’t be doing it alone. However, from reading their bios and participation within the Spiderman comics, these villains are nothing but petty thieves. So just like in the original Spider-Man 3, Spider-Man will face up against two villains in one movie.
