Overwatch 2 Season 4 has arrived, bringing a new battle pass, a ton of quality-of-life updates and the new support hero Lifeweaver. Lifeweaver is a support who has a massive kit, with plenty of abilities to keep track of and utilize. This also makes him a bit more complicated to use than some of the previous support heroes, requiring very strong knowledge to get the most out of him. Here’s how to best use Lifeweaver in Overwatch 2.

Lifeweaver overview

For primary weapons, Lifeweaver has his Healing Blossom, which can be charged to heal 65 HP.

Lifeweaver is equipped with three active abilities. The first is … Read More

After launching earlier this year on PC, Company of Heroes 3 will be ported to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 30.

Speaking to RadioTimes, Debbie McWilliams–who has been the James Bond casting director since 1981–said younger actors who tried out over the years lacked a level of “gravitas” required for the role.

“We did look at a lot of younger actors and I just don’t think they had the gravitas, they didn’t have the experience, they didn’t have the mental capacity to take it on, because it’s not just the part they’re taking on, it’s a massive responsibility,” McWilliams said. “So we kind of scrubbed that idea and went back to the drawing board and started again.”

Of course, “young” is a relative term. The youngest actor to ever play James Bond was George Lazenby, who was 29 during the filming of 1969’s On Her … Read More
