World of Warcraft: The War Within is bringing a whole ton of neat changes to the game—changes like the Warband system, which have been packaged early into the expansion’s pre-patch. There’ve been some slight glitches so far, like Warband banks being disabled, but it’s otherwise a massive quality-of-life boost to the MMO.
When logging in for the first time, your existing characters will be converted to the new system—but seems to have had an unintended side effect. Characters might be coming back from the dead, clawing their way out of the deletion graveyard.
After a couple of player reports on the WoW subreddit and forums citing “characters I’ve never made before” jumpscaring players on their character selection lists, I decided to hop in myself. What do you know—a Shaman on a different server that I’m pretty sure I’d deleted was staring me straight in the face.
I only say “pretty sure”, because the character name was accompanied by a l…
If you’re a Wordle player, you may want to check out a new daily puzzle being tested this week at The New York Times. This puzzle is about numbers, not letters—but perhaps hoping to strike gaming gold again, the color scheme will look very familiar to Wordle players.
Yep, the beta of the new game features that same alluring shade of green that Wordle uses to let you know you’ve gotten a letter in the right place. After a year or so of playing Wordle I feel like I’ve been trained to get a little rush from seeing that color. Smart move, NYT! You’ve already got me hooked.
The new daily number puzzle game is called, appropriately enough, Digits, and the rules are pretty simple to grasp. You’ve given a target number, along with six other numbers you need to combine to reach that target. You can add, subtract, multiply, or divide those six numbers as you attempt to reach the target, and you don’t need to use all the numbers to solve the puzzl…

“Markets were extremely lacklustre on the back of thin volumes. It looks like a lot of capital has been making its way into the IPO market over the last few days, and investors including retail ones don’t want to miss the bus. Once the current IPO rush is over, we may see investors returning to secondary markets, provided there are no major hiccups in global markets. The good news is that the short-term technical outlook for Nifty continues to be in favor of the bulls. Technically, Nifty needs to reclaim the 19,889 mark to unleash fresh upside, while support is placed at 19,471 mark,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senio…

Domestic equities saw their worst week in nearly two months despite a minor relief rally on Friday, as foreign institutional investors pressed the sell button and many domestic investors chose to take risk off the table due to uncertainty amid the ongoing General Elections. On top of this, the Reserve Bank of India’s draft norms on project financing further spoil the market sentiment.
The Nifty 50 ended the week 1.9% or 421 points lower at 22,055.20 points, and the Sensex fell more than 1,200 points or 1.6% to 72,664.47 points. With this, the indices also snapped a two-week winning streak.
While the indices ended lower for the week, the rebound seen on Friday softened the blow of the selling intensity. Friday was only the third session in 10 days when the benchmark Nifty 50 registered gains.

Any oil trader worth his salt studies oil market history. The Yom Kippur war of 1973 forms a crucial part of oil trading history. On 6 October 1973, Israel was attacked by Egypt and Syria in what is now known as the Yom Kippur war. Israel retaliated and western countries supported Israel. Arab oil exporters stopped oil exports and prices went through the roof. It changed oil trading forever, including oil politics, geopolitics, Arab cartelisation and oil trading and speculation.
A day after the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur war, we are back to square one as Gaza based Hamas launched 5,000 rockets on Israeli targets. A day later Lebanon based Hezbollah launched rockets at Israeli targets. The Israeli cabinet invoked article 40A and declared an official state of war, a first since 1973. The development has raised the spectre of the 1973 oil price spike. Are the two events linearly comparable? Will Arab nations brandish the …
