With a Black Panther game, is Marvel Games creating a video game universe?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:55:07 GMT

With all the recent Marvel video game announcements, one has to wonder if Marvel Games is creating its own gaming universe. We have Spider-Man and Wolverine on deck led by Insomniac. Meanwhile, Electronic Arts has an Iron Man in the works and they’ve now added Black Panther to its plate. The Redwood City-based company announced that it’s working with Cliffhanger Games on an original, third-person single-player Black Panther game. Cliffhanger is a new outfit led by Kevin Stephens, formerly of Monolith Productions makers of “Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor.” That bodes well because that studio did a good job crafting a game with solid gameplay and innovative mechanics.“We’re dedicated to delivering fans a definitive and authentic Black Panther experience, giving them more agency and control over their narrative than they have ever experienced in a story-driven video game. Wakanda is a rich Super Hero sandbox, and our mission is to develop an epic world for playe...

10 fantastic Bay Area margarita spots for hot summer nights

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:55:07 GMT

The margarita may be a much-loved classic, but its origin story is as muddled as a mojito.In 1937, a British cocktail guide, “Café Royal Cocktail Book,” described a Picador cocktail in terms any margarita lover will recognize — 1 part fresh lime or lemon juice, 1 part Cointreau, 2 parts tequila. By the 1950s, the tequila cocktail’s fame had spread, along with all sorts of backstories. The Los Angeles Times called the salt-rimmed Margarita “a sort of Mexican daiquiri belted hard by the international set at Acapulco.” Some said it was invented at a Texas bar owned by one Dona Bertha (1930) or perhaps the Tail o’ the Cock restaurant in Los Angeles (in 1937 or maybe 1939). Wait a sec! It was created for jazz singer Peggy Lee in 1948. Or Rita Hayworth in the 1940s. No, wait …Whatever its origin, there’s no doubting the popularity of the drink. Liquor.com deemed it the seventh most popular cocktail in the country last year. (Although some of...

NEW YORK (AP) — Celebrities, lawmakers, brands and everyday social media users are flocking to Meta’s freshly minted app Threads to connect with their followers, including many Twitter refugees tired of the drama surrounding Elon Musk’s raucous oversight of that platform.
