![]() ![]() News of Carlson’s ouster from Fox News broke on April 24, with the cabler saying in a statement, “Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. He is a singularly important voice on matters of public interest in our country, and will remain so.” Harmeet Dhillon, a lawyer who represents Carlson with Freedman, said in a statement to Axios, “Doubling down on the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election. This Tuesday’s third “episode” of Tucker on Twitter reportedly will focus on Carlson’s response to the (latest) indictment of President Donald Trump. Serious Sam 4 Review: Serious Sam is a Serial SlaughtererĪre you tired of carefully preserving ammo, cowering behind cover and taking measured shots? Serious Sam is back to save the day as he runs around like an Olympic sprinter, throwing highly explosive C4 around like rice at a wedding.BMF Producer Suspended by Studio After Incident With Striking Writers ![]() The Serious Sam series is known for a less than entirely serious take on the FPS genre, showing an affinity for classic genre staples of wanton destruction seasoned with a goofily fun narrative. Serious Sam 4 starts Sam off in the middle of Rome, travelling with a convoy of hoo-rah military stereotypes, trying to fight through hordes of alien invaders and help to liberate Earth from the extraterrestrial yoke. Not having played a Serious Sam game before, I didn’t know what to expect from the gruff-looking protagonist. When his compatriots were talking about the Da Vinci Code and asked his opinion on the famous book, Sam replied “No literary merit” I genuinely laughed out loud. Though the shades wearing hero has a craving for destruction as deep as his gravelly voice, he often shows surprising intelligence and sensitivity, which often works not only for comic effect but also to give the narrative real heart beneath the bombast. Speaking of bombast, practically from the first time I gained control of Sam, my senses were assaulted by a litany of destruction. The music roars with thrashing guitar riffs and monstrous baddies explode into a shower of gore when blasted with Sam’s shotgun, leaving streaks of blood scattered across the barrel if you’re close. Every combat is an overwhelming sensory overload as massive waves of hundreds of genetically perverted mutants charge at you with their fangs and claws bared. ![]() One enemy in particular, the series’ iconic headless suicide bomber, runs full speed towards Sam, carrying a bomb in each hand and screaming at the top of their lungs(?) in a constant agonizing cry. When you shoot one of them whilst they are charging at you in a squealing, cacophonous horde, the detonation of one will set off several of the rest in an awe-inspiring chain reaction – like explosive dominoes. There’s no shortage of weaponry to kill, decapitate, and explode your foul foes. The simple shotgun comes with an underslung grenade launcher – perfect for thinning out a crowd with an explosive blast before shooting down the stragglers with shells. The rocket launcher’s secondary fire mode can launch up to four guided missiles are varying targets. Even more measured weapons like a sniper rifle are included, particularly handy picking off enemy sharpshooters on the roofs. Definitely one of the most fun is the C4 explosive – found inside bottomless crates. As long as you initiate combat near one of these crates, you can toss around these remotely detonated bombs around, triggering them in mid-air to wipe out anything from the most populous hordes to the biggest beasties in an instant. No armament is redundant or obsolete as the campaign wears on. Since the various weapons are all handy in their own ways, there’s plenty of fun to be had in cycling through them to use them most effectively. ![]() Sam can also unlock new abilities by picking up mysterious purple alien orbs before crushing them with his fist and (rather recklessly) inhaling them. These abilities really add a sense of progression and an opportunity to personalize your methods of destruction. Unlocking the akimbo ability means Sam can dual wield pistols and immediately make his default weapon (with infinite ammo) twice as powerful, potentially saving a lot on resources. ![]()
