To commemorate Women's History Month, World Cafehas been looking back on a century's worth of music history. Every week in March, we've pinpointed distinct moments of every year from the past 100 years, a quarter century at a time.We started out in the early 20th century (1925-1949), when women like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Maybelle Carter and Marian Anderson opened doors for the future success of women in music.Then, from 1950 to 1974, we encountered trailblazers like The Shirelles, Dolly Parton and Wendy Carlos. Last week, we looked back at the unprecedented success of musicians like Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson.Today, we're wrapping things up with the first stretch of the 21st century, largely defined by the rise of reality television, the internet and the advent of more easily accessible music production technology.2000: An 18-year-old rising star from Kentwood, La., named Britney Spears wraps up her second tour with a televised set in Hawaii in support of her massively successf...

'It was always an option': Overwatch 2 devs reveal that going third person isn't as big a leap as some players think

Overwatch 2 Stadium is a pretty impressive break from the norm, with it shrinking down maps and objectives, adding a best-of-seven round format, and, of course, having a third-person option. Though this last feature may seem slightly jarring at first, given that Overwatch has been a staple FPS for so long, it's not an entirely new idea."[We] toyed with it in Overwatch 1 at certain points, just internally, little prototypes and stuff," senior game designer Dylan Snyder says in an interview with The Gamer. "When we animate, there's a first-person version and a third-person version, and [it] has always been that way since day one. So it was always an option."Best of the best2025 games: Upcoming releasesBest PC games: All-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better togetherWhile most players wouldn't use third-person mode in regular old Overwatch, it has always had its uses.

Doctor Who Lux review: Hope can change the world
2025-05-06 22:45:04| Spiritual Career Counseling
Spoilers for Lux.Its an interesting time to be a long-running science fantasy media property in the streaming TV age. Star Trek is in the grip of an existential crisis as it (wrongly) fears its too old-aged to be relevant. Star Wars became a battlefield in the culture war and, to duck all future bad faith criticism, gave us The Rise of Skywalker. And then theres Doctor Who, which is somehow managing to plough a 62-year furrow and still fill it with original ideas. Dont believe me? This week the Doctor and Belinda go up against a sentient cartoon holding the patrons of a 1950s cinema hostage.Its 1952 in a sparsely populated cinema as the audience watches a breathless newsreel on the power of the atomic bomb. The projectionist flips over to a Merrie Melodies-style cartoon of Mr. Ring-A-Ding (voiced by Alan Cumming), an old-timey song-and-dance character. Just then, a beam of moonlight shines through the window, reflecting off a teaspoon and strikes the screen. Mr. Ring-A-Ding come...
