There is no denying the fact that raising children is expensive. In 2020, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, using data from a 2015 Consumer Expenditures Survey, estimated middle-income married parents could expect to spend around $284,570 on a child through to the age of 17. This figure, which factored in spending on food, shelter and other necessities, paints a daunting picture of what lies ahead for many moms and dads....

While there is plenty of Hacksilver to be found in the middle of the game, players in the early- and late-game hours may find themselves struggling. Luckily, there is a way to increase the amount of Hacksilver you’re earning so that you never run low. As noted above, Hacksilver is used to purchase or upgrade just about everything. As such, having plenty on hand will be very useful for those who want to obtain more powerful gear....

On Wednesday morning, just minutes after the quarterback officially announced his retirement in a video posted to Twitter, Bayless was noticeably shocked and saddened. The show opened with his co-host Shannon Sharpe asking Bayless if he was alright. Bayless wished Sharpe a “good morning” and then said “good night” to Tom Brady’s football career. Bayless stated that Brady’s retirement announcement was quite a bombshell. As he spoke, Bayless seemed to still be processing the news....

We probably won’t hold Yamauchi to his word, considering the lengthy development process, and numerous delays Gran Turismo 5 experienced. Check out the quote: I’m sure Yamauchi is a busy guy, but maybe someone should tell him that Gran Turismo 5 still isn’t out yet. That same person may also want to tell him that when it comes to making release predictions, he should probably just keep it zipped. Remember when Gran Turismo 5 was going to be a PS3 launch title?...

With a number of enhancements and features being added to the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar has recently revealed a bit of new information that budding YouTube creators may want to pay attention to. In an announcement earlier this morning, Rockstar Games finally revealed details about a brand new video editor coming to the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V.

And thanks to some new screenshots from the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5, it looks like those cruises are sure to be visually satisfying. A new PC release trailer is also expected soon, which will show off more of the game’s beauty on PC....

As Houser’s most recent comments have shown, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720 might not be the only platforms Grand Theft Auto V sails over. Speaking in an interview to IGN, Houser reaffirmed the nebulous status of Grand Theft Auto V on the Nintendo Wii U and the PC: Other than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, GTA V’s confirmed platforms, “everything is up for consideration,” he said. Houser expressed affection and appreciation for all three console makers – Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony – but at the same time he defended Rockstar’s postition as a third party company, its freedom to pick and choose amongst the best business and technology opportunities, creating fun where it fits:...

For consumers of previous generation consoles that came with inexplicably small hard drives, like the Xbox 360 Arcade edition and the 12gb PS3s, that problem is even worse if you own one and want to play the most popular titles. Rockstar Games confirmed today that PS3 players of Grand Theft Auto V can no longer play its Grand Theft Auto Online multiplayer mode after the latest update. The hard drive is simpl not big enough....

Coutinho started a domestic match for the first time since December 2 and converted an 85th-minute penalty as a much-changed Barca lost 2-1 at Levante in the first leg of their Copa del Rey last-16 tie. The Brazil star’s goal - his first since the 5-1 crushing of Real Madrid in October - gave the holders reason for optimism ahead of next week’s return leg, having fallen two goals behind in the opening 18 minutes at Ciutat de Valencia....

Rumors have been spreading regarding a Half-Life 3 - but one story in particular really got the speculation machine going. A member of the Valve forums by the name of ryuuk posted a message claiming that Half-Life 3 was in development and used the departure of a member of Valve’s team as evidence. The forum member claimed that he was a “freelance artist,” and that he worked through a studio in Seattle, via the internet....

For anyone who has ever played the multiplayer component of the various iterations of the Halo series, there are sure to be maps that become immediately recognizable. One that no doubt stands at the top of many gamers’ lists is the small but brutal Beaver Creek. Even though it’s been years since it last made an appearance in a Halo game, ever since the announcement of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, gamers have been readying their rocket launchers for another chance to fight for survival in the familiar canyon....

Luckily, that overtime has seemingly paid off, as the folks at 343 reveal there are multiple updates on the way. In fact, the first of those updates is said to hit tomorrow, January 8th, adding a few extra achievements for multiplayer and the recently added Spartan Ops campaign. There are no details on how many achievements 343 plans to add, though. However, the biggest updates are a little further off, but not by much....

But while the Xbox Entertainment Division, which was meant to be Microsoft’s TV wing, is no more, the Halo TV series does live on. The project was either too big or too far along for Microsoft to pull the plug on it, and we’d suspect the recent partnership with Showtime also had something to do with keeping it alive. Now that Halo is expanding, that puts even more pressure on the folks running the show (a....

Unfortunately, one easter egg will soon only live on in memory and in the original copies of the game. The remastered edition of Halo 3: ODST for the Xbox One has removed a popular easter egg that could be found in the original Xbox 360 version of the game. The remastered version of Halo 3: ODST became available today for gamers who previously purchased the Halo: Master Chief Collection for the Xbox One....

[HTML1] The wait is killing us. But where most Halo fans are collecting themselves for a brand new chapter in Master Chief’s life, it’s becoming more and more obvious that the Halo 4 experience will extend far beyond the first week(s) of release. Not just considering the episodic Spartan Ops or multiplayer progression, but for the bigger and better potential of Halo 4’s new Forge. 343 Industries and Certain Affinity have previously revealed the Ravine setting as one of three starting locations, and provided a comprehensive walkthrough of Impact....

[HTML1] The second episode of the web series Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn has arrived (watch the first here), inching the students of Corbula Academy to their confrontation with the Covenant. While fans eagerly await the beginning of all-out conflict (since that’s what will inevitably herald the arrival of the Master Chief) the new episode takes a closer role at the motivations and personality of Lasky (Tom Green), Vickers (Iain Belcher) and more....

Specializations are essentially new ways for players to improve their Spartan — make them more stealthy, harder to kill, or allow them to level faster. Each has a different name and unlockable armor and color set (10 levels in all), and only two will be unlockable at launch. If you purchase the Limited Edition of Halo 4, however, you’ll have access to all eight without any waiting. The first specialization (one of the two unlocked at launch) is called Wetworks and significantly boosts the player’s ability to play stealthily....

The footage, which has garnered thousands of views, shows a Papa Murphy’s employee telling the woman without a face mask that he has the “right to refuse service to anyone.” “You don’t need a mask,” replied the woman at the counter. “This is the American Disability Act,” continued the irate patron who claimed she is exempt from wearing a face covering. “I have a right to my pizza!” the woman is heard shouting in the footage....

She tried to convince Yvette to back out of the wedding by telling a personal story about how she broke off her own wedding a day before it was supposed to take place. However, Yvette remained unconvinced. Rochelle said that the proposal was just a way of apologizing, just like getting someone flowers after a fight. Although Yvette insisted that she did not have cold feet, Rochelle felt that Mohamed came with a lot of red flags....
