Everybody knows Call of Duty, Halo, Half-Life 2, and Bad Company 2, but plenty of great FPS games have become forgotten over time, destined to only appear in these types of articles as memories by someone who loves to track down gems from yesteryear. There are many reasons a video game masterpiece might never attract the attention it deserves or slip through the cracks in time, and quite a few of these titles have not been properly preserved and made easily accessible to a modern audience.

Hitch bike racks are arguably the easiest, safest way to transport bikes to a trailhead or campout. Based in Colorado, lead tester Eric Phillips has spent hundreds of hours testing five hitch racks with a variety of mountain bikes and electric bikes over the past six months including local circuits and a road trip to Utah. After thousands of hours of testing on racks since 2022, it’s clear that the 2-bike Küat Piston Pro X sets the bar among plush designs, with hydraulically actuated wheel clamps, LED lights, and robust security features. Meanwhile, the 2-bike Küat Piston Ion offers a 100-pound…
BEIJING (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he has not made a decision on whether to move forward with a major arms package for Taiwan after hearing concerns about it from Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump’s comments on Taiwan — a self-ruled island that China claims as its own territory — came as he flew back to Washington after wrapping up critical talks in which both leaders said important progress was made in stabilizing U.S.-China relations even as deep differences persist between the world’s two biggest powers on Iran and Taiwan. “I will make a determination,” Trump…
We reported recently how the proposed new “Revised Mailing Standards for Firearms” rule, which would permit the mailing of handguns through the U.S. Postal Service, is being opposed by the head law enforcement officials in 23 anti-gun states, including New Jersey.Earlier this month, attorneys general from 22 states sent a letter to the USPS asking leaders to withdraw the Final Rule, arguing: “The federal government’s refusal to follow a century-old commonsense firearm safety law threatens the rule of law and public safety. Turning the Postal Service into a tool to ship guns into our states, in violation of our laws,…
A quality headlamp is, without a doubt, one of the most important and useful tools in a successful hunter’s toolkit. To find success, one must be willing to work before the sun is up and after it’s down. So a headlamp one can trust is a must. It needs to have good battery life, be durable, waterproof, have a usable red light, and have a lock. The problem is that most headlamps are not made specifically for hunters and their demands. Until now, that is. The Strike 1800 from Last Light might just be the perfect headlamp made for hunters,…
NEW DELHI (AP) — Iran ’s foreign minister said a lack of trust is the biggest obstacle in negotiations to end the war with the U.S., saying Friday that Tehran would be open to diplomatic help, particularly from China, to help ease tensions. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said contradictory messages have “made us reluctant about the real intentions of Americans.” “We are in doubt about their seriousness,” he told reporters in New Delhi, adding that negotiations would move forward if Washington was ready for a “fair and balanced deal.” U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this week dismissed Iran’s latest…
I grew up listening to my doctor. I wasn’t always great at doing what he told me, but since I was young, it wasn’t usually that big of a deal. I wish my mother had been better at listening to them, because she might still be around if she had. On some things, you absolutely should listen, such as the need to lose some weight if you’re obese. But one of the problems with that is that many physicians are eroding the public’s trust in them by weighing in on stuff they really shouldn’t, such…

A former college All-American football player who played pro is headed to prison. On May 7, a federal judge sentenced Joel Rufus French, a former tight end at Ole Miss who later signed and played with two NFL teams, to more than 16 years in prison. Authorities said that French orchestrated a health care fraud scheme that stole nearly $197 million from Medicare and a Department of Veterans Affairs program that covers the families of disabled and deceased veterans. French, 47, must also pay back more than $110 million and give up roughly $17 million the government already seized from…
For many veterans, leaving the military means giving up the ability to give back to a cause greater than themselves. However, through the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), veterans have discovered a new way to step up for their communities. On Saturday, May 2, VFW will host its fifth annual Day of Service, a program that encourages veterans to lead local service projects. An initiative that began with humble roots, with about 200 events during its inaugural year, has ballooned to more than 2,300 projects in 2025, with more expected in 2026. Some veterans have used the Day of Service to mobilize…
As my colleague Tom Knighton covered in his first post of the day, Democrats have largely responded to the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump and top administration officials with a toxic mix of conspiracy theories and calls for more gun control. I haven’t seen the conspiracy theory angle get much traction in the media (though give it time, I suppose), but the liberal press is embracing the idea that the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents Association dinner on Saturday night is a teachable moment for the forces of gun control. We’lve also…

If President Donald Trump hasn’t broken the all-time record for assassination attempts against him, he’s got to be close as the White House Correspondence Dinner, normally a time of the press thinking they still matter, the president playing along, and a lot of bad jokes by comedians who think they’re funny. Gunshots are usually not on the agenda. Over the weekend, though, that changed, as I’m sure you’ve already heard.A California man traveled to Washington, booked a room in the hotel where the dinner was at, thus allowing him inside the building, and tried to…
On the morning of Jan. 30, 1944, two battalions of U.S. Army Rangers found themselves surrounded in the open farmland south of Cisterna, Italy, outnumbered and outgunned by a German force that had been waiting for them. By the time the fighting ended, a force of 767 Rangers had been reduced to just six.The 1st and 3rd Ranger Battalions, the core of the Army’s premier commando force since 1942, ceased to exist in a single day. The defeat halted the use of Army Rangers in the Mediterranean, led to the disbandment of the original Ranger battalions and forced the Army to…

Fernando Cota’s final resting place is no longer among the nation’s heroes. Cota, a convicted rapist and alleged serial killer, had his remains disinterred from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in Texas earlier this week, according to a press release from Sen. John Cornyn’s office. Cota’s removal comes after a federal law was passed last December allowing for the Vietnam soldier’s remains to be disinterred from the cemetery. The legislation was introduced by Cornyn (R-Texas) and co-sponsored by fellow Texas senator Ted Cruz. The bill was signed into law by President Donald Trump as part of the National Defense Authorization Act…
