Jose Ramirez belted a two-run homer and Shane Bieber pitched into the eighth inning as the Cleveland Guardians opened the best-of-three American League wild-card series against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays with a 2-1 victory on Friday.

On PC gaming platform Steam, Cult of the Lamb has seen hundreds of thousands of downloads, and while Wilton can't reveal the exact figures due to Massive Monster's backing by UK-listed Devolver Digital, pre-sales numbers show the game has already recouped its investment costs.

"This growth is also leading to concerns about the impact of new energy systems on the long-term availability of resources and the economic and environmental impacts of the extraction and use of critical metals and other elements.

The scheme is focused on making it ultra-convenient for Australian consumers to recycle batteries and drastically reduce the estimated 90 per cent of batteries that wound up in landfill before the scheme began.

Figure things out. Perhaps you'll need to consult one of Tunic's most delightful features — an in-game manual, half of it written in cryptic runes, that you literally piece together page by page — or perhaps you won't. However you go about it, the feeling of sheer discovery is tremendous.

There's still a long way to go, but it aims to end the disposal of toxic batteries at landfill sites and recover valuable elements that are in limited supply: copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese and the so-called metal of the decade, lithium.
To be honest, it looks just like the land of Link's Awakening...or a dozen other Zelda games. It's bright green, punctuated by clumps of grass, and shown from above. Down the path, there's a ruined village and some dungeons that need explorin'.

Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said earlier this month the takeover of the videogame publisher maker could hurt competition in gaming consoles, subscription services and cloud gaming if Microsoft refused to give competitors access to Activision's best-selling games.

Because Tunic doesn't simply copy the Zelda formula — it complicates it. There are items you pick up, berries and little effigies, that you've never encountered before, in this game or any other. And you're not told what to do with them. Nor, in fact, poker Pkv are you really told much else.

What countries can participate in the Prime Early Access Sale? Now that the Prime Early Access Sale is official, we know which countries will be able to participate. The event will run in 15 countries:

"We recognise this has presented issues for the recycling industry as it scales up and adjusts to a role in product stewardship with its increased focus on transparency and accountability," he wrote in a report on the scheme's first six months of operation.

Come to think of it, maybe 'complications' isn't the word.
'Embellishments' might be better. Tunic's world is so beautiful in both its sun-dappled, well, beauty and its clockwork design that it deserves to be described in softer terms. It's like holding a Fabergé egg in your hands.

Sept 15 (Reuters) - Britain's antitrust watchdog said on Thursday it would launch an in-depth probe into Xbox maker Microsoft's $69-billion purchase of "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard after the tech giant failed to offer remedies to soothe competition concerns.

When you're logged in to your Prime account and looking at a product landing page, you'll see the discounted price if it's on sale. You don't need any special coupon codes, nor is there a need to use a specific payment method in order to get the discounts.

Amazon just released a "Toys We Love" list, which highlights some of the year's bestsellers ahead of the upcoming holidays. Some of them have "preorder price guarantees" already, so it wouldn't be out of line to think Amazon will do the same for its event next month.

Target has already kicked off its own Target Deal Days event for October and Walmart is planning a fall sale that overlaps Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale. We wouldn't be surprised to see more retailers follow suit. 

Prime Early Access Sale vs. Black Friday: What about the deals? With the two events happening so close together this year, odds are you'll be a little nervous about buying something in October that usually goes on sale for Black Friday in November. Though it wasn't included in the official announcement, we anticipate that Amazon will likely offer some type of "pricing guarantee" or similar that gives consumers peace of mind that the prices they are buying items for now are the same that they'll find during Black Friday sales.
