Only 35% of Punxsutawney Phil’s winter predictions are accurate, while Staten Island Chuck’s forecasts have 85% accuracy
Scientists have cast doubt on the reliability of America’s most celebrated rodent forecaster – whose apparent knack of predicting how long winter will last forms a hallowed tradition in the US.
Punxsutawney Phil, made famous by the 1993 film Groundhog Day, attracts thousands of visitors every 2 February to the Pennsylvania town from which he takes his name.

La série sur la fille de la famille Addams, dirigée par Tim Burton, doit bientôt réapparaître pour une saison 2 sur Netflix. Date de sortie, casting, intrigue... Voici tout ce que l'on sait déjà sur ce retour très attendu de Mercredi (ou Wednesday).
Each month, all those with a PlayStation Plus Essential subscription are able to get their hands on a few select games which can be added to your library – and remain playable as long as you have an active subscription. Sony has now announced February’s line-up, including the co-op heist FPS Payday 3 and the comedic High on Life.
Available to add to your library from the 4th of February, all those with a PlayStation Plus Essential subscription (as well as Extra/Premium members) will be privy to the following titles:
As mentioned, Payday 3 is a co-op focused heist shooter which – while it did launch in a troubling state – has turned into a solid successor to the highly-popular Payday 2, so is worth giving a try now more so than ever.
High on Life is a comedic take on the FPS genre with a style of humour not too dissimilar to that of Rick and Morty (due to the direct involvement of the show’s (now controversial) co-creator Justin Roiland). While certainly a love-it-or-hate-it type of experience, those who do gel with the humour will find plenty to enjoy.
All three titles will be available to claim from the 4th of February, meaning you have just under a week to add January’s PS Plus Essential titles to your library before they are removed.
In case you missed it, this month’s free games include Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League; The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered.
KitGuru says: What do you think of February’s line-up? Have you tried Payday 3? Do you think it’s improved since launch? Let us know down below.

There are plenty of warm and fuzzy stories about love. So, as February 14 approaches, we want to hear about other stories: the Valentine’s Day gifts that made you cringe, the logistical disasters and dates that made you feel like being single isn’t so bad after all.
We want to know: what are your worst Valentine’s Day stories?

During last year’s Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft officially unveiled the next entry in the much-loved Gears of War series with ‘E-Day’. Since then, we’ve heard little to nothing on the project, however, the silence has now been broken with developers The Coalition announcing that studio ‘People Can Fly’ are assisting with development.
Making the announcement via a press release, Polish studio People Can Fly confirmed their involvement in the next Gears of War, writing:
“People Can Fly is thrilled to be working on Gears of War: E-Day, the next mainline game in the renowned Gears of War series, as a co-development partner with The Coalition. We are honored to return to the world of Gears of War, a franchise deeply embedded in our studio’s history.”
As mentioned by the studio, this isn’t the first time that People Can Fly have worked on the Gears IP, with them heading development on 2013’s Gears of War: Judgement – while also contributing to the earlier titles.
Speaking on this partnership, People Can Fly CEO Sebastian Wojciechowski stated “Returning to collaborate on the next chapter of this legendary saga is both a privilege and an exciting opportunity to build upon the intense, visceral action and rich storytelling that fans have come to love. We are deeply grateful for our partners’ trust and support on this journey.”
Though we’ve only gotten one cinematic trailer so far for the game, leakers claimed last year that Gears of War E-Day is targeting a 2025 release. Whether the hiring of People Can Fly means the game is more or less likely to hit its target, we will have to see. Hopefully we hear more from Gears of War E-Day soon.

Alors qu'on prenait pour acquise sa présence dans Avengers: Doomsday, Benedict Cumberbatch a annoncé qu'il ne sera pas au casting du blockbuster dans le rôle de Dr Strange. Une petite bombe.
