"How Technology is Changing the Way We Learn"
In the past few years, there has been a sudden rise in the use of technology in various aspects of life, especially in education. With the increasing availability of digital tools and online resources, students now have more access to more information and learning opportunities than ever before. This shift has significantly changed the way we students study, collaborate, and comprehend academic content. As a Senior High School STEM student, I’ve witnessed firsthand how technology has shaped our academic journey throughout the years. Here are various reasons why technology is changing the way we learn.
1. Access to Various Sources
Back in the earlier days, the library was the primary source of information. The library was a haven not just for bookworms, but for students who needed help with their homework. The library had a collection of books that were full of specific information that assisted students in finding answers, solutions, definitions, and terms needed for their homework. Growing up in Gen Z like myself as a STEM student relies much more on technology nowadays than a physical library because with a touch of a smartphone or a click of a computer, you now have access to different websites that contain the information you need, especially when you need to conduct a research study, which most students use Google Scholar.
2. Interactive Learning Tools
Textbooks are no longer the only tools we use to learn. Interactive apps, simulations, and educational games have become commonplace in many classrooms. As a STEM student, I’ve experienced how these tools make learning more engaging. Apps like Khan Academy offer interactive courses in math, physics, and computer science, breaking down complex topics into bite-sized lessons with visual aids.
Platforms like Quizizz display flashcards that could help students enhance their active recall, memorizing, and understanding of the concepts easily because of the quiz game it offers.
3. Collaboration in Real-Time
One of the biggest changes technology has brought to education is the ability to collaborate in real-time, regardless of any location in the world. Platforms like Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom have been helping students ever since the Covid-19 pandemic struck. During the pandemic, remote learning platforms became essential for continuing education. Even though many students faced challenges with online learning, these platforms provided a way for education to continue without interruption all thanks to the implementation of Online Classes. Now, blended learning—combining in-person and online education—is becoming the norm, offering more flexibility for both teachers and students.
4. Personalized Learning
Every student learns differently, and technology is helping cater to these individual learning styles. Adaptive learning platforms use algorithms to tailor lessons to each student’s needs. If you’re struggling with a particular topic, these platforms adjust the difficulty and provide extra support until you grasp the concept. Tools like Duolingo and Grammarly, which offer students language and grammar support are just a few examples of how technology provides customized learning experiences.
For us STEM students, this is particularly helpful, especially when using Grammarly for a research project. Using Platforms like Grammarly helps correct revisable sentences and paragraphs easily in one click, providing less effort and less time-consuming for us students.
5. Preparation for the Future
Technology isn’t just transforming education for the present; it’s also preparing students for the future. As technology like AI and Programming evolves, we students could resort to learning skills like coding, and learning the different types of programming languages so that we could adjust to the evolving technology all around us.
6. The Potential Downsides
While technology has brought us numerous benefits, it’s important to acknowledge the challenges and disadvantages it presents. Overreliance on technology can often lead to distractions, with social media and games constantly thriving for attention. Furthermore, the concept of Technology and its use remains a problem in many parts of the world, where students lack access to the necessary tools and internet connectivity to fully benefit from online learning resources.

LOST CAPCUT IN THE TIKTOK BAN?! TRY THIS VIDEO EDITOR!
So as you all know Yesterday (It was SUPPOSED to be January 19th but it started late January 18th!!!) America (and Canada too?) lost TikTok to the ban, HOWEVER what most of us didn't know (Myself included) was that TikTok wasn't the only app banned, the ban also took out all Apps that the company ByteDance owned, this includes but not limited to:
TikTok.
TikTok Studio. (duh)
TikTok Shop Seller Center. (also duh)
CapCut.
Lemon8.
Hypic.
Lark - Team Collaboration.
Lark - Rooms Display.
As well as other apps that I'm sure I don't know about. ANYWAY, I used CapCut on my PC to Edit Videos, not for TikTok but for my YouTube Channel, it was the easiest Video Editor I could find that was not only, Free but came with No Watermark unlike other apps have if you can only use the free versions of the editors, however I found another one that is very similar to CapCut (I haven't tested all of it's free features but so far it's similar to CapCut from the ones I did test) It's called Microsoft Clip Champ and it's free on the Microsoft store, it might even come preinstalled for some, if you don't have Microsoft then I don't know if it's available to you or if it's even available for devices other then PCs, but if CapCut was the thing you used on your PC because it was easy, free and came with no watermark, then you might want to try Clip Champ if you can. The layout is a little different from CapCut and you have to relearn certain things (like how to do a voice over but I figured that out in like 5 seconds) but it's similar to CapCut and it's pretty easy. PLUS IT AUTOSAVES!!!!!! There's no save button that I could find but it Autosaves like CapCut did, you just have to leave the app then come back and when you're on the home page scroll down, your saved works are at the bottom of the page not the top like CapCut had it but it's still there! It also have a few others things that CapCut might not have had (also in the free version) but so far I'm liking it, I just wanted to make this post to help others who might have had the same problem that I had when I found out that CapCut was also banned, I'm so lucky that I wasn't starting to edit my next video on it yet because so many people on line are saying that they lost HOURS of work because they didn't know CapCut was being banned too and are now unable to recover their works for school, work, or anything else. I HOPE THIS CAN HELP SOMEONE! PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE!

For the last 100 days (and counting), the Democracy Docket team has worked tirelessly to report the facts on Trump’s attack on democracy. We are powered by our readers, so please consider upgrading to premium today to help ensure we’re here to report on the next 100 days and beyond. 
The greatest risk of the Trump era is the resetting of what we expect from our leaders. Most dangerous, of course, is the redefinition of the presidency — from a position of honor and trust to one of retribution and corruption.
I have repeatedly warned against normalizing Trump. Just yesterday, for example, I wrote about the risks to our democracy if the judicial system grants a presumption of regularity to Trump’s highly irregular administration.
As reviews of the first 100 days poured in, several themes emerged. Chief among them is the moral collapse of those we expect to stand strong and lead.
We’ve watched Republicans in Congress cede their constitutional authority to Trump. Not a single member of Trump’s cabinet has shown any backbone. A Republican judicial candidate — a sitting judge — continues his effort to steal an election in North Carolina.
Several major law firms capitulated to Trump, arming him with nearly a billion dollars in pro bono legal services for his pet causes, while others remained disgracefully silent as Trump targeted opposing firms for retribution.
The legacy media began Trump’s second term weakened and has grown weaker still. The White House dominates the press pool, while corporate media, often fearful of angering the administration, too often pulls its punches.
The complexity of this situation is illustrated by what’s happening at CBS News. As I write this, CBS’s parent company is considering paying Trump millions to settle a lawsuit it would certainly win. At the same time, 60 Minutes is preparing to air a story about the risks to democracy posed by law firm capitulation that Trump will surely try to discredit.
On the positive side, the protest movement has grown and scored some successes. Several Democratic leaders have emerged as prominent voices of opposition. New legal groups and lawyers have proven effective in court. Encouragingly, signs point to the emergence of a strong, independent, pro-democracy media ecosystem.
There’s no magic to 100 days. The challenges Trump poses to our country will remain at day 1,000, and day 1,100. All we can do is continue to use every tool available to fight back and protect our democracy no matter what day it is.
You’re reading a full sample of what's included in our premium membership. Every Friday, Marc revisits the week’s top stories with his personal analysis and insights. Upgrade to premium for $10/month or $120/year and don’t miss next week’s edition!
The Weekly Top Line
Donald Trump’s second term will span 1,461 days. Though it may feel like an eternity, fewer than 7% of those days have passed. Even assuming his final days in office are spent golfing, pilfering government property and exfiltrating classified documents, there’s still a long road ahead.
Media coverage of Trump’s first 100 days showcased the damage he can inflict in a short time. But it also — sometimes begrudgingly — highlighted how effective opposition can stymie key parts of his authoritarian agenda.
Rather than dwell on the failures and setbacks of these early days, we must learn from them and grow more effective. Likewise, we must understand that any successes achieved can easily be undone in the weeks and months to come.
The fight for democracy won’t be judged in days or weeks. It will take years — perhaps even decades — to defeat the authoritarian wave that has overtaken American politics.
Heroes of the Week
These days, I rarely have a kind word for corporate America. But this week, I’ll make an exception. It appears that Microsoft replaced a New York firm collaborating with Trump with one of the firms he targeted. This is the first reported instance of such a reversal. If more follow, it may show that capitulation to Trump hurts the bottom line. For initiating that shift, Microsoft’s legal department is a hero.
Fools and Cowards of the Week
During his interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran, Donald Trump repeatedly insisted that Kilmar Abrego Garcia — the man illegally deported to a Salvadoran gulag — had “MS13” tattooed on his knuckles. When Moran politely tried to correct him, noting the image was photoshopped, Trump acted incredulous.
Yet days later, the White House has not corrected the record, and the legacy media has largely let the matter drop. Trump is a fool for believing an obvious fake. Those who work for him are cowards for not admitting the mistake. And the media’s silence? Well… you decide.
The Week’s Siren 🚨
After the GOP-dominated North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled to strip the Democratic governor of power, the Republican state auditor — yes, auditor — appointed a GOP majority to the State Board of Elections. These new members will immediately aid in the party’s effort to steal a state Supreme Court seat. Only the federal courts now stand in the way.
Overlooked This Week 👀
When I interview Democratic members of Congress on my podcast, I often ask what motivates Republican members to so thoroughly supplicate themselves to Trump. Most answers center on fear — fear of losing primaries or of violence from Trump supporters.
This week, Senator Chris Murphy offered a darker explanation: that many GOP members share Trump’s authoritarian worldview. If you haven’t watched it already, it’s worth your time.
Watching Next Week
As Republican legislatures continue churning out new voter suppression laws, expect a wave of litigation to begin as early as next week. As always, Democracy Docket will be your best source for following what’s happening in the courts. UPGRADE TO PREMIUM TODAY
We also understand that not everyone is able to make this commitment, which is why our free daily and weekly newsletters aren’t going anywhere!

NINJA GAIDEN 4 announced for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC - Gematsu
Tumblr media
Publisher Xbox Game Studios and developers Team NINJA and PlatinumGames have announced NINJA GAIDEN 4 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Microsoft Store). It will launch this fall. It will also be available via Game Pass.
Get the first details below.
A New NINJA GAIDEN World Unveiled
While the series has been beloved for almost four decades, the announcement of NINJA GAIDEN 4 marks the first new mainline entry in 13 years. When asked about the long gap—spanning two Xbox console generations—Yasuda expressed Team NINJA’s long-standing desire to bring the series back. “Fans have long been asking us for a new NINJA GAIDEN game,” he said. “Koei Tecmo‘s President, Hisashi Koinuma, and PlatinumGames’ CEO, Atsushi Inaba, share a close relationship, which led us to explore a collaborative development effort. PlatinumGames had the expertise we felt was ideal for working on NINJA GAIDEN, and with support from Microsoft’s Phil-san [Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming], the three companies were able to take the next step towards creating a brand-new NINJA GAIDEN.” Appearing for the first time in the Developer_Direct broadcast, and published by Xbox Game Studios, NINJA GAIDEN 4 is positioned as the direct sequel to NINJA GAIDEN 3. While maintaining the dark and gritty world that the series is known for, players will take on the role of a new protagonist, Yakumo. “A significant amount of time has passed since NINJA GAIDEN 3, and players will find themselves arriving in a gruesomely transformed Tokyo. One of the key themes of this story is the return of the Dark Dragon, which has plunged the city into chaos. Within these unsettling conditions, Yakumo will have to face off against his foes, as well as the formidable Master Ninja himself, Ryu Hayabusa,” Nakao explained. When asked why a new protagonist was introduced, Nakao clarified that “since it’s been a while since the last game, we wanted a new hero to make the series more approachable for new players. Of course, we also wanted long-time fans to enjoy the game, so Ryu Hayabusa plays a significant role in the story, serving as a major challenge and growth milestone for Yakumo. Ryu will appear throughout the game and be playable, ensuring his prowess and presence is deeply felt in NINJA GAIDEN 4.”
Overcoming Adversity in NINJA GAIDEN 4
In the Developer_Direct trailer, the new protagonist, Yakumo, shows off stylish new mechanics which include traversal using wires and rails, something new for a NINJA GAIDEN title. When asked about the addition of these elements, Nakao revealed one of the game’s core themes: “Adversity is a key concept for this game. From the beginning to the end of each stage and even in the transitions between, everything is designed to represent adversity for Yakumo.” First and foremost, that adversity will come in the form of NINJA GAIDEN’s signature combat, but Nakao explains that these new additions outside of the fights keeps that feeling high at all times: “To maintain the tension throughout, we’ve added high-speed elements like rail and wire-based actions to keep up the sense of challenge.” The announcement footage also depicted a rain-soaked, cyberpunk-like Tokyo, leaving a strong impression to those who watched the trailer. “In NINJA GAIDEN 4, we wanted to blend old and new elements. Tokyo in this game has been drastically transformed by the influence of the underworld., which is why it appears this way,” Nakao explained, elaborating on the Dark Dragon’s miasma rain, as well as the disasters it has caused. “Rain is a major visual theme in this game. For example, we’ve put a lot of effort into how characters look when drenched, how raindrops hit the ground, and various other effects.” These visual motifs stay true to the signature dark, hardcore atmosphere of the series while bringing new flavor to its visual direction. Nakao also touched on the game’s anticipated difficulty. “We’ve brought together the best aspects of the series and elevated them for the current generation. Personally, I believe [the difficulty level of] NINJA GAIDEN 2 had a lot of standout qualities, and I think fans will feel its influence strongly throughout NINJA GAIDEN 4.” After such a long break between games, it’s paramount that the team balances what’s great about the series, while adding new ideas. Despite the daunting challenges, the collaboration between Team NINJA and PlatinumGames promises an unparalleled NINJA GAIDEN experience. “One of the key differences between modern action games and NINJA GAIDEN lies in the sense of fairness when confronting enemies,” Nakao said, explaining the series’ unique game balance philosophy. “Enemies are designed to be masters of defense and experts of unrelenting aggression, but players never feel they’re at an unfair disadvantage. There’s a sense of balance that’s been passed down through the series, transcending current-day trends.” “The rapid shifts between offense and defense, the almost fighting game-like 1v1 combat—you’ll see these elements evolve in NINJA GAIDEN 4. At the same time, we’ve ensured that returning players will immediately feel at home when they pick up the game,” he concluded.
A True Successor
When asked about the challenges involved in achieving the fairness that defines the NINJA GAIDEN series, Nakao shared his thoughts with a laugh. “If I were to go into detail about the feel of the action, we’d be here for quite a while (laughs). In all NINJA GAIDEN titles, a delicate balance is carefully crafted to maintain the satisfaction of attacking enemies without losing the speed and exhilaration that define the gameplay. I remember struggling with the fine adjustments required to achieve the right feel when we first started implementing and testing the systems. Additionally, when we brought Ryu Hayabusa into NINJA GAIDEN 4, we wanted long-time fans to experience the exact same enjoyable gameplay feel they’ve come to expect. We had numerous discussions with Team NINJA to fine-tune the mechanics and ensure everything felt just right.” Yasuda also added that “when it comes to gameplay feel, Team NINJA was deeply involved. Fairness in combat with enemies is only possible when ultimate playability is a given. To achieve that, we pushed for even deeper refinement of controls and other aspects. I know it probably seemed like we were being a bit too demanding at times…(laughs).” This collaboration across company lines was crucial to creating the next ultimate NINJA GAIDEN experience. One of the standout features of NINJA GAIDEN 4, which embodies the series’ experience while introducing fresh elements, is Yakumo’s “Bloodraven Form.” Nakao described this as “a technique that manipulates the blood of oneself and enemies, transforming it into a massive weapon capable of slicing through multiple foes at once.” He elaborated further on how this addition expands upon the series’ traditional gameplay. “Yakumo fights using Bloodraven Form, and when certain conditions are met, he can unleash a move called ‘Bloodbath Kill,’ which instantly bisects enemies in one strike.” Nakao explains that, while previous entries have tasked players with working out how to approach encounters with multiple enemies, and NINJA GAIDEN 4 is introducing another exhilarating way to fight against swarming crowds: “This time we’ve added large-scale, high-damage attacks with the Bloodraven Form, enabling players to instantly turn the tide of battle in their favor.” This system introduces moments of release from overwhelming situations, offering new depth to the gameplay that Nakao hopes both newcomers and returning fans will enjoy. Both Team NINJA and PlatinumGames are known for their expertise in high-end action games. According to Nakao, the process of creating NINJA GAIDEN 4 revealed the unique strengths and characteristics of each studio. “Looking at the titles created by PlatinumGames, we noticed clear differences in approach. While we emphasize flashy, impactful strikes and moment-to-moment experiences, the NINJA GAIDEN series focuses on delivering refined and satisfying gameplay feel, culminating in an exceptionally polished overall action experience. This collaboration was a truly unique learning opportunity for us at PlatinumGames.” When asked about the significance of bringing NINJA GAIDEN 4 to Xbox, Yasuda reflected on Team NINJA’s long history with the platform. “With titles like the Dead or Alive series and the NINJA GAIDEN series—especially the original NINJA GAIDEN, NINJA GAIDEN Black, and NINJA GAIDEN II—we have a deep history with Xbox. It’s been a long time, but we’re thrilled to bring the latest installment back to Xbox players. Additionally, with the game being added to Game Pass, we’re excited that more people will have the opportunity to experience it.” Nakao, who became a fan of the series during his days as a student, also shared his excitement. “Personally, I played NINJA GAIDEN II on Xbox 360, so being able to play the latest installment on Xbox again makes me very happy. Even now, I occasionally boot up NINJA GAIDEN II on my Xbox Series X. As a developer and a fan, I’m thrilled to see the NINJA GAIDEN series come together on Xbox, creating a moment in time where all these titles can be enjoyed in one place.”

Microsoft XBOX - Dead or Alive Ultimate
Title: Dead or Alive Ultimate / デッドオアアライブアルティメット
Developer/Publisher: Team Ninja (TECMO)
Release date: 3 November 2004
Catalogue No.: V40-00001
Genre: Compilation / 3D Fighting
Tumblr media
It seems that Microsoft went all in with their collaboration with Tecmo when debuting their original Xbox console. Getting a brand-new installment in Tecmo's staple fighting game: Dead or Alive 3 wasn't enough. They ended up getting a port of the original 2 DOA games (Dead or Alive 1 originally on the Saturn, and Dead or Alive 2 originally on the Dreamcast) on the system as well. Dead or Alive Ultimate is technically a compilation, featuring enhanced versions of both the first and second game. There isn't much to say about DOA Ultimate 1; it is essentially a slightly upscaled remaster of the Saturn version. Compared to the original it is a bit more polished and runs fairly smoothly. It's a solid 7/10 game. However, no one really thinks about DOA 1 when talking about DOA Ultimate. They are always referencing DOA 2 Ultimate, the remaster of a 10/10 game that somehow surpassed its original iteration. I mean, Aerosmith’s Dream On is featured as the intro song. It plays while the opening cinematic shows you the events leading up to the DOA franchise, and it is oddly fitting. DOA has some serious characterization and dark setups when you look past the hot chicks. Seriously, anyone who writes this off as some purely fanservice franchise is only doing themselves a disservice.
Given that this game is both a remaster of Dead or Alive 2, but it also released right after Dead or Alive 3 on the same system, it only seems natural to make comparisons to both games before seeing how the game stands on its own two feet. As a remaster it tries to retain the core foundation of DOA 2's design but makes use of some mechanics from DOA 3 whilst utilizing the graphics engine from DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball. What a mish-match of various concepts and designs. In terms of controls, there is honestly very little difference. There is a minor difference in how you execute double-team grapples in team mode and a few combos for characters may be slightly difference, but that is it. One thing that was removed from DOA 3 was the pressure-sensitive commands, which were pretty much my biggest gripe with that game. Inputs based on pressure in a high-paced, adrenaline pumping action game that can already cause controllers to break from exerting too much force? Yeah, I don't miss that annoying tidbit at all.
DOA Ultimate does make one significant alteration to the mechanics that would become something of a mainstay in the series, and that is changing the hold system from 3-way to 4-way. In the original DOA 2 as well as three, the hold system functions through low, mid, and high holds to counter their respective attacks. With the 4-way implementation, mid-holds are split into separate commands for mid-punches and mid-kicks. This is one area in the series where I disagree with what I've heard most of the dedicated players say. Many insist that 3-way is too simplistic, and 4-way is essential to competitive play. My experience does not stand with that statement. The 3-way counter system is just fine for strategic play. Speaking from personal experience, if you just spam holds against either the AI or another player, you will be in for a messy time. When I was always obsessed with cool finishers or just looking awesome, I would use spam holds figuring that one of them would work. Many lost rounds have proven that is not the case, and this is with the 3-way system.
I think 4-way might be a bit too intimidating for some people, which is why I'm glad that DOA 6 would find a good compromise: An optional 3-way hold system for casual, required 4-way hold for online ranked matches. Here, we've no choice but to adapt to the new system. While I find it to be more of a hassle and hindrance myself, I must say that I will take the tradeoff of a 4-way hold system over pressure-sensitive commands any day. The new hold system can be adjusted, while pressure commands are always a bit of an annoyance. Aside from these changes, it is the same classic DOA we are used to with all the modes provided by DOA 3. Team battles, tag battles, survival mode, story mode, the list goes on. We get that satisfying strike/hold/block triangle that continues to be as fun as ever, complete with harsh impacts and smooth, gorgeous animations.
Speaking of which, the visuals in this series continue to be gorgeous. We've got that classic physics engine that causes hair and clothes to realistically react and flow to momentum or wind in the background, and it still continues to look more impressive than some of the physics I see in post-2010 and post-2020 “AAA” blockbuster hits. Whoever worked on the visuals for these games was a master of their craft, creating such believable physics as well as detailed characters that look more like Xbox 360 designs than original Xbox ones. What better way to compliment beautifully rendered characters than with beautiful stages for fighting? Once again, being based on DOA 2 there are a lot of stages based on that game. As a result, we lose some of the ones from DOA 3. I particularly miss the old DOATEK HQ stage from the DOA 3, with its lovely city in the evening background as well as two different transitions that could lead down to either the streets or the building laboratory. The old X-Octagon stage felt superior to the new Downtown stage that serves as a caged arena. The lighting effects, electrical fences, and roaring crowd really made X-Octagon stand out for a level with no transitions. How about Lost World where you could knock your opponent off the edge an unlimited number of times, or the ominous Pancratium with its devilish thunderstorms?
Then again, it's hard to argue against the return of iconic areas like the serene Suspension Bridge where you can knock your enemies down to the waterfall below, the Aerial Gardens that showcase the beauty of Japanese culture and landscape, or the majestic Opera House that can also be played during a blazing inferno. Plus, DOA 2 Ultimate is the only game to feature the Great Wall stage, a unique area that is not just beautiful to look at, but a unique one to play in. From the very top, you have two different transition spots that can lead to more transitions, some ending faster than others. If you want to experience a rave club fever dream just select the Ray House stage. If I were forced to choose, I would say I do prefer DOA 3's overall selection better, but both are amazing, and DOA 2 Ultimate certainly has a few standouts that the other does not offer. Visually, DOA 2 Ultimate also has an ace up its sleeve with levels that can take damage. I may prefer X-Octagon as a stage to Downtown, but the first time I got slammed against the wall by Bass, I was too impressed by the broken bricks that fell down to be angry. Then I was driven into the concrete below, and noticed the spot now appeared to be cracked apart and busted. Common in later years, but incredibly cool for the early 2000's. Also, if you purely want content then this game will win out, with 23 stages against DOA 3's 16.
Speaking of which, if you want content then DOA 2 Ultimate loses by a hair in the roster but wins by a mile in the costume section. With character selection, DOA 2 Ultimate has a base roaster of just 12, per the original, while DOA has 16. However, DOA 3 only has one unlockable while DOA 2 Ultimate has 3, narrowing it down to 17 vs. 15. What's more, one of DOA 2's unlockables is Hitomi, so for me personally the rosters are on equal ground. Just look at my screenshots, you should be able to tell who my favorite characters are. Still, putting that bias aside for just a minute, DOA 3 does win out. However, costume variation has been a big draw for this franchise since the start, and Ultimate here wins in a landslide. For one quick comparison, Kasumi has a total of five possible outfits in DOA 3, while in DOA 2 Ultimate she has… twenty. This stark difference is across the board, thanks partially to some swimsuit costumes based on DOA Xtreme. Hey, DOA knows how to draw its audience. Even the guys get more love in this game, such as Jann Lee getting eight outfits against five in DOA 3. Moreover, in DOA 3 some costumes were specifically locked behind a booster pack disc from back in the day, which I'm pretty sure is harder to find than rain in California. In Ultimate, however, all costumes can be unlocked by meeting certain criteria in the game.
So, all this time I've been comparing Ultimate to DOA 3, but how does it stack up against the game that it is a remaster of? It compares quite favorably. If we are to compare stages, the original DOA 2 had 16, only two of which are not part of the Ultimates lineup. Those two are easily surpassed by the new stages such as Great Wall, Prairie, and Ray House. The character roster is identical in the end when everything is unlocked… except Ultimate has Hitomi, which automatically makes it superior. Plus, Bayman and Tengu are only available in certain versions of the original to unlock. The gameplay looks and feels pretty much the same, with the exception that Ultimate both look and feel a bit better. Do not get me wrong, even by today's standards the original DOA 2 looks better than it should by any means- they pulled off some amazing detail and artwork. However, Ultimate can take that masterpiece and give it just a bit more detail under more processing power. Mechanically I do prefer the original 3-way system for holds myself, but it's not a dealbreaker. Ultimate also has some more options available. For example, you can actually choose your own stage in most of the game modes! DOA 2 always featured impressive customization with its numerous modes and ability to adjust options specifically to each mode, but Ultimate just takes it a bit further in some areas.
When I sit down and compare all of them, obviously DOA 2 Ultimate surpasses its original in just about every conceivable way. When comparing Ultimate to its Xbox counterpart, DOA 3, I surprisingly liked a couple things in DOA 3 better. I think the quality of levels in 3 beats out the quantity of Ultimate- 3 has a couple of my favorite levels ever- and I prefer the 3-way hold system over the new 4-way system. That said, Ultimate edges out because it decided to drop the pressure-sensitive command inputs. Despite the ways, it is superior, that one mechanic does hurt DOA 3 to some degree because it is something you really cannot completely adjust to. Really, however, you can't go wrong with any of these titles. While writing this review a rumor circulated and then became truth - the original Xbox DOA game is now available on the newer Xbox systems. That would easily be the best way to enjoy any of these old titles, with visual boosts and no clunky controller issues. I can actually attest that having tried this on my Series S, the detail and visuals of this 2004 game hold up impeccably in 4K. As for this game on its own? It's DOA 2 with Hitomi and Aerosmith added to it, which speaks for itself.

Microsoft Outage: Outlook and Teams Restoration Time Remains Unclear as Company Deploys Fix
Microsoft faced a major service disruption today, with its widely used tools, Outlook and Teams, experiencing significant outages. As millions of users across the globe rely on these platforms for communication and productivity, the outage has created widespread frustration and operational challenges. The company has acknowledged the issue and is actively working on deploying fixes, though the restoration timeline remains uncertain.
What Happened?
Reports of issues began flooding in early Monday, with users complaining of being unable to access emails on Outlook or participate in meetings on Teams. According to CNN, the outage appears to have stemmed from a technical failure in Microsoft 365’s infrastructure, which supports multiple Microsoft services. Users reported that not only were these apps down, but additional services within the Microsoft ecosystem were also lagging or completely unresponsive.
Impact of the Outage
As highlighted by CBS News, the outage disrupted both businesses and individuals alike. Microsoft Teams, a cornerstone for remote work, saw users unable to join meetings, send messages, or collaborate on shared documents. Similarly, Outlook’s downtime hampered email communication, a critical tool for businesses.
Many organizations that rely heavily on Microsoft’s tools for day-to-day operations were forced to find alternative communication methods or simply pause work until the services were restored. The scale of the impact underscores the dependence on cloud-based services like Microsoft 365.
Microsoft’s Response
Microsoft has acknowledged the issue through their status page and social media channels, stating they are aware of the problem and actively working to resolve it. According to Forbes, the company is deploying fixes and monitoring the situation closely. However, the timeline for full restoration remains unclear, leaving users in limbo.
The company has not yet disclosed specific details about what caused the disruption, but experts speculate that it may be related to a configuration issue or a server failure. Microsoft has promised regular updates as they work to resolve the problem.
