I’m no RTS expert, but I’m nonetheless ride or die for Warhammer 40, 000: Dawn of War. I’ve poured what must be hundreds of hours into campaign and skirmish modes across the game’s four versions, gleefully gunning down gue’la for the greater good and deep striking dreadnoughts where they are least welcome. Granted, there’s no record of my wartime victories, as the Steam versions of these games (and the CD-ROM versions of my youth) never had acheivements-until now. That only holds for the recently released definitive edition, which as Sean Martin said in his impressions is a “sparing” but superlative version of the classic RTS series, but the GOG version has the achievements as well. You can find the full list on a Steam News Hub blog post from Thursday, and they’re about what you’d expect. There are achievements for winning a skirmish and multiplayer match as every faction, seeing each ending across the various story campaigns, and more flavorful ones like killing 666 space marines while playing as chaos marines. There’s also an accolade for deploying each of the games’ relic units-big monsters like the Greater Knarloc and the Bloodthirster-which was always a hype moment in-game, even if matches didn’t always go on long enough to facilitate it. None of them should prove particularly elusive, provided you can find enough opponents online to get all the multiplayer achievements. There’s also “The Grim Darkness of the Far Future,” where you’re meant to kill 40, 000 enemy units. hopefully you’ll be fighting lots of imperial guardsmen. The new achievements won’t account for prior progress, as the blog post notes: “With a 20-year-old game as our starting point, we did not have much in the way of existing stat tracking to use, so we had to add that in this latest patch to support achievements.” That being said, you only have to finish a campaign to get credit; if you have one beaten, you should be able to replay just the final mission and cross it off your list. I’m not much of a completionist, but I will take any excuse to revisit some of the greatest strategy games ever made. If you see me in multiplayer, feel free to let me win! I’m just here for the achievement, after all.

Paramount Skydance is currently winning the war to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount Skydance has the inside track to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, according to well-placed media executives and it’s all about a cable network that has a troubled relationship with Donald Trump. As first reported by The Post, the battle for control of WBD officially kicked off on Thursday at noon, as Paramount Skydance, Comcast and Netflix submitted bids for WBD, which owns the No. 1 Hollywood studio and the No. 3 streaming service in addition to HBO and CNN. In a twist that is in some respects surprising, it is CNN that is seen as key to giving Paramount Skydance a leg up on other bidders, I am told. That’s because PSKY’s owners tech titan Larry Ellison and his Hollywood mogul son, David Ellison appear to be the only bidders that so far are interested in buying the WBD cable-news subsidiary as part of the deal. They see CNN, warts and all, as a very profitable business worth saving. Trump, meanwhile, desperately wants CNN whose correspondents regularly spar with him at the White House and on Air Force One “neutralized” out of its anti-MAGA coverage, one top broadcast executive recently told. And in his thinking, Larry Ellison, the billionaire Trump donor who is co-founder of software giant Oracle, is the perfect vehicle to set CNN straight. Specifically, Trump wants the Ellisons to do to CNN what they are doing with their CBS subsidiary after hiring Bari Weiss, the right-of-center columnist who is under orders to squeeze left-wing bias out of its news programming. If Paramount Skydance wins the bidding battle, Weiss’s portfolio is expected to expand to also include oversight of CNN’s editorial, according to sources. ‘White-glove treatment’ Given all of the above, the Ellisons’ bid is seen gliding through the Trump regulatory gauntlet. Meanwhile, Brian Roberts’ Comcast and streaming giant Netflix are poised to get the mother-of-all regulatory reviews. “The Ellisons will get the white-glove treatment and an easy 6 months before approval,” one telecom lawyer who served in government told me. “Brian Roberts gets a proctology exam that could last two years. Same with Netflix. The Warner board might just say it’s not worth the wait.” The Ellisons, it should be underscored, aren’t looking to take control of CNN just to make nice with The Donald. Sources at the company say they actually like CNN’s business despite the broad decline in linear TV viewership and its lowish ratings particularly compared to my employer, Fox News. People at Paramount Skydance point to CNN’s global news reach with reporters in just about every country. It’s in every airport, it seems, and every hotel. They believe the network which still churns out an estimated $500 million in yearly profits can be made more profitable by combining it with CBS’s news infrastructure and continuing its migration to digital platforms away from traditional cable. Larry Ellison can easily afford to make that happen. Since The Post first broke the news of a looming WBD auction back in September, its CEO, David Zaslav, a shrewd media dealmaker, has said he wants a deal that “starts with a 3” namely a deal valued at $30 a share, or $70 billion. He only gets that with a real-live bidding war, and media insiders are increasingly dubious. First, neither Comcast nor Netflix will likely shell out that much because they are only bidding for chunks of WBD as opposed to the whole company. In selling pieces of the company, WBD could be hit with a tax bill known as tax leakage that is common in such M&A transactions, depressing its valuation. Regulatory pressure Then there’s the regulatory mountain which both Comcast and Netflix have to climb and which Paramount doesn’t. Brian Roberts is set to spin off his Trump-hating cable channel, MSNBC, nullifying some of the antitrust issues on media consolidation. But Trump isn’t about to forgive him for years of abuse at the hands of Rachel Maddow & Co. Accordingly, the thinking among lawyers who work on such deals is that if Comcast wins the bidding war, his antitrust chief Gail Slater will sue to stop the deal, focusing a lengthy probe on the fact that Comcast will be merging its Universal Studios with Warner Bros. Roberts can go to court to plead his case and it’s worth noting that the government has a horrible record on such lawsuits. Still, we’re talking nearly two years of legal wrangling that the WBD board might think isn’t worth the trouble. Netflix faces similar hurdles because it would combine its No. 1 streaming service with WBD’s No. 3. And let’s not forget its political baggage. While Roberts has the MSNBC albatross, Netflix is run by Reed Hastings and Ted Sarandos, who have spent years supporting progressive causes from the Left Coast. That’s why the Ellisons believe they can get away with paying no more than $27 a share for WBD significantly below Zas’ $30 a share bogey.

INJ Price Prediction: Technical Recovery to $6.33 Before December Correction to $5.17
INJ Price Prediction Summary • INJ short-term target with a stop-loss at $5. 19. This approach targets the $6. 33 level with a favorable 2: 1 risk-reward ratio. Aggressive Entry: Current levels around $5. 44 offer proximity to strong support, but require a tight stop-loss below $5. 19 to manage downside risk to the $5. 17 target. Position sizing should remain conservative given the mixed analyst sentiment and the proximity to 52-week lows. The technical setup suggests INJ could move decisively in either direction within the next two weeks. INJ Price Prediction Conclusion Our Injective forecast anticipates a near-term recovery to $6. 33 within one week, supported by oversold technical conditions and analyst optimism surrounding the Altria upgrade. However, the medium-term outlook remains cautious, with a potential decline to $5. 17 by December 21 if broader market conditions deteriorate. Confidence Level: Medium for the $6. 33 target, Medium-Low for the $5. 17 bearish scenario. Key indicators to monitor include the RSI breaking above 35 for bullish confirmation and MACD histogram turning positive. Failure to hold $5. 19 support would validate the bearish $5. 17 INJ price target. The timeline for this prediction spans the next 4-6 weeks, with the initial recovery phase expected within 7-10 days. The Altria upgrade remains the wildcard that could invalidate bearish scenarios and propel INJ toward the higher analyst targets of $7. 50-$9. 17.

Report: Lane Johnson will not require surgery on his foot injury
Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson will not require surgery for his Lis Franc foot injury, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The Eagles did not place Johnson on injured reserve on Saturday. The initial prognosis was 4-6 weeks, which would have likely kept Johnson out until the postseason. According to McLane, Johnson will have X-rays after the swelling subsides in his right foot, but Johnson might miss only three games. The Eagles play the Cowboys, Bears and Chargers in the next three games. Fred Johnson will start in Lane Johnson’s absence. The Eagles are 120-62-1 in games Lane Johnson has played and 15-24 in games he has not, including the playoffs, since he joined them as a first-round pick in 2013.

LA Kings GM Delivers Much-Awaited Update on Top D-Man
LA Kings GM Ken Holland delivered a much-awaited update on top defenseman Drew Doughty. Doughty had been playing well this season before going down with an injury. The 35-year-old Doughty has been one of the mainstays for the LA Kings since being drafted second overall in 2008. So, his loss this season has been tough. Doughty left the Kings’ game against the Ottawa Senators on November 15 and hasn’t returned to the ice. While Doughty has been listed as “week-to-week,” the LA Kings’ GM Ken Holland provided some encouraging news. Holland had this to say about Doughty’s situation in an interview with James Murphy of RG Media from November 21: “He’s a little dinged up, and we’re calling it ‘Week to week’, which might sound like long-term, but hopefully we’ll see where we are in a couple of weeks. I think it will be a little bit of time, but nothing significant, but it’s still tough to see because he’s been playing great hockey for us. He trained really hard this summer. Coming off that injury last year, I think he’s been playing great hockey and skating great. He looks like Doughty in his prime. So we’re going to miss him here in the short term.” The comments seem to indicate that the LA Kings could get Doughty back sooner rather than later. However, Kings’ fans shouldn’t need to overly worry. The club has a good enough blue line to where everyone can pick up the slack as needed. LA Kings Blue Line Shouldering the Load Holland manifested his confidence in his team’s blue line. He underscored the role that several LA Kings’ veterans have played in Doughty’s absence. He stated: “But Monday, Brandt Clarke played 22 minutes, and we got five other guys there that they’re all comfortable playing 20 to 23 minutes. They’ve done it in their careers. [Cody] Ceci, [Brian] Dumoulin, and [Joel] Edmundson, Mikey Anderson, they’ve all done it elsewhere, so they’ll pick up a few more minutes and find ways to win games. Everybody gets injuries, and we feel that people can eat up some of those minutes on the back end.” The current crop of LA Kings’ defensemen makes the team’s depth stronger overall. In previous seasons, coach Jim Hiller has significantly shortened his bench due to the lack of reliable options throughout the lineup. This season, Holland has strived to bolster the team’s depth. So, it seems to have worked well. Holland Bullish on Brandt Clarke Brandt Clarke has been the subject of abundant trade speculation this season. The impending RFA has yet to sign an extension. But that doesn’t mean he won’t. Holland is still very much bullish on Clarke’s future with the LA Kings. So, it might only be a matter of time before Clarke and the LA Kings work something out. Holland and the Kings got their future captain, Adrian Kempe, extended this season. With that deal out of the way, the path could be clear for Clarke’s extension. There doesn’t seem to be a sense of urgency at this time. As such, Clarke and the Kings have plenty of time to figure things out.
