It was revealed last year that the BFG 9000 weapon from Doom would be in Rage 2, where it was confirmed to be part of the Rage 2 Deluxe and Collector’s Editions. However, it seems some fans were under the impression that the BFG 9000 would still be obtainable in the base game of Rage 2, though it’s now been clarified that isn’t the case.

We can’t quell the suspicion that their crimes reveal something meaningful about our society, about us. Particularly, since the shooter is always the same sex, we wonder: what does it mean about the struggles of American men? We receive little insight from the rampagers, who so often save the final bullet for themselves. But Mark Barton did us the dubious favor of providing documentation. He wrote us a letter, a suicide note addressed not to family or friends but, more globally, “To Whom It May Concern....
In a topsy-turvy “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Raiders and Chiefs, Las Vegas had an opportunity to tie the game with 4:27 left after a stellar Derek Carr-to-Davante Adams touchdown pass. With the score 30-29 and the clock potentially working against the Raiders, McDaniels played for the win instead of the tie, which came back to bite the Raiders in a sideways way.

The temperatures in the Brazilian capital, which is going through its winter season, can rise to as high as 30 degrees celsius (86 degrees fahrenheit) and fall to as cold as 17 degrees celsius. “I’ve had six days of practice and every day was different, the sun is at a different spot every time… Sometimes it’s windy, cloudy, but the wind is the thing that bothers me the most, so I really hope on competition day there won’t be any wind,” the 28-year-old said....
