just now (576+ words) President Trump has set free a private equity executive who served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for his role in what prosecutors described as a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of victims. David Gentile, 59, a onetime resident of Nassau County, N.Y., had reported to prison on Nov. 14, and was released on Wednesday, according to Bureau of Prisons records and a White House official who was not authorized to discuss the matter. Mr. Gentile and a co-defendant, Jeffry Schneider, were convicted in August 2024 of securities and wire fraud charges, and sentenced in May. Unlike a pardon, the commutation granted to Mr. Gentile will not erase his conviction. Mr. Schneider, who was sentenced to six years, does not appear to have received clemency from Mr. Trump. In a social media post on Thanksgiving, Alice Marie Johnson, Mr. Trump's "pardon czar,…...

If you're like me and on T-Mobile, you've probably been scouring the carrier's website for Black Friday deals on phones, smartwatches, accessories, and the like. After all, it's often easier to finance a smartphone than to buy one outright. Fortunately, there are some pretty good promotions available for one of this year's best AI phones. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus normally costs $999, which is a pretty penny for a rather impressive phone. However, T-Mobile customers can grab one of the best deals of Black Friday, where they pay absolutely nothing for the phone, except maybe some taxes.

Warframe creative director Rebecca Ford told PCGamer that the possibilities were essentially hard to ignore. "A particular inspiration," Ford said to PCGamer, "was the Angels of Mons'a phenomenon reported during World War I in which soldiers alleged their units were miraculously aided by phantom bowmen or angelic warriors." "A Warframe entering a field of battle would feel like the Angel of Mons for a given battalion," Ford said. "I"m not saying that this is a textbook World War I homage, but it"s very much the feel. And the battlefield being alive is something that we really wanted to do right." MMOBomb"s QuintLyn Bowers detailed the update"s Focus progression system. Bowers wrote, "the expansion of…...

2+ min ago (760+ words) ARC Raiders recently caused a real-world police response thanks to its intense gameplay and a player in a California motel. This player found themselves in a wild situation while engrossed in a raid, when their desperate shouts for a revive were mistaken for cries of real distress.

They used the game's proximity chat to yell for help, frantically pleading that they had been shot and needed a revive, in a last-ditch effort to save themselves. Unfortunately for YoMopho, a…...

2+ min ago (276+ words) Secret Lair drops are supposed to be slick, limited'edition showcases: bold art, clever card choices, and a sense of celebration. Instead, the Monster Hunter set sparked confusion. Fans were not too kinds when they labeled everything that was wrong with the cards. With a crossover of this scale? What should have been a hype moment turned into a collective shrug'and in some corners, outright frustration. In a rare move, Wizards admitted the reveal didn't land. The company announced that the set is being delayed and reworked, promising to "do right by both Magic and Monster Hunter fans." That means new art, new presentation, and essentially a second attempt at making the crossover feel authentic. It's not cancellation, but it is a reset button'proof that even Magic's crossover machine can misfire. Crossovers are now part of Magic's DNA. They keep this…...
