LOS ANGELES — Disney announced Fantasia: Music Evolved for the Xbox earlier this month, based on the studio's classic movie. In the game, you play as the sorcerer’s apprentice (the role portrayed by Mickey in the film) and control the music on the screen, similar to the way the ironic mouse did it in the film. I had the opportunity to give the game a spin at Disney’s E3 booth this week, and walked away impressed. Move to the Music Admittedly, I’m a huge fan of most of the music and moving games out there. Rock Band ? I'll school you on every instrument. Let’s Dance ? No problem. A game like Fantasia is right up my alley, particularly because it combines games, music and moving to create an interactive experience.

The sensor on the system I tried had a bit of trouble seeing me at first, and … [Read more...] about Disney’s ‘Fantasia’ Game Will Rock Your World

Steven Carrillo met Robert Justus for the first time when he picked him up at the San Leandro, California, train station on May 29. But the two were already familiar with each other, according to court documents unsealed earlier this week. They'd connected in a Facebook group that was geared toward members of the far-right extremist boogaloo movement. The two men had reportedly hatched a plan to drive to Oakland, California, and attack federal law enforcement officers, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. By the end of that night, Dave Patrick Underwood, a federal security guard, would be dead and his colleague severely injured. The alleged murder was coordinated to take place at the same time as mass protests against the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man who was killed by a white police officer. For Carrillo, 32, and Justus, 30, the protests would serve as a cover for their plot, according to court documents.

TORONTO — Christine Youssef hasn't slept properly in six days. But sitting at her dining room table, her hair in a messy bun and piles of paperwork in front of her, she's smiling. "It's all worth it," says the 26-year-old as she looks at her five adult cousins who have just arrived at her small house in Toronto. They fled Syria more than a year ago. Over the course of the next three months, Youssef and her mother, Sarah Asmar, will welcome 43 people — all Syrian relatives, fleeing the civil war — into their three-bedroom bungalow.
