Far Cry 6 – the best one yet (pic: Ubisoft)GameCentral reviews Ubisoft’s latest open world adventure and what may be the best Far Cry game yet. Despite rarely having a single character or setting in common, games in the Far Cry series are still all recognisably part of the same franchise. They all feature a seemingly doomed fight against oppression by a single hero taking on overwhelming odds.

According to several reports, Apple is trying to have its environmental cake and eat it, too. Eat it in a super truck that’s rolling coal. With a totally unnecessary coal-powered fork. Why a coal-powered fork?! You could just use a regular fork, Apple! You don’t need a coal-powered one that lifts the cake to your arrrgh whatever. Popular Information has called out “Bad Apple”. (Tip o’ the antlers to Tay Bass.) Normally the Macalope might take issue with calling out Apple here when there are plenty of other companies involved, but in this case, it’s appropriate because of Apple’s consistent…
