![]() But to me, bubble tea is at its best when the warm pearls mingle with ice cubes and cold milk to create a symphony of flavors and textures perfect for a hot summer day. While these blended drinks may fall afoul of some milk tea purists, many shops use the same recipes and bases for their drinks across categories and so we’ve lumped them in together.Īnd finally, I know milk tea isn’t confined to summer-only status - you can order milk tea hot in many cases, just like you would a latte. Most of the spots we visited don’t just serve milk tea in the traditional sense - brewed black tea with a generous dose of milk and/or sweetener - but feature truly expansive menus including a rainbow of milk tea flavors, smoothies, slushies and beyond. You might hear it called milk tea, boba tea, bubble tea, tapioca tea and anything in between, but all these names refer to roughly the same thing: a milk- or creamer-based beverage with toppings, primarily tapioca pearls, often served in a tall, plastic-sealed cup with an oversized straw perfect for sucking up every last precious pearl. But for our definitive tour, we stuck to places specializing in bubble tea. You can find decent bubble tea all over the place, from dedicated shops to the menus of teriyaki joints and Vietnamese restaurants ( Yummy Banh Mi in Everett does a pretty delicious mango milk tea alongside a killer grilled pork sandwich). Snohomish County’s cities have no shortage of shops serving up the Taiwanese-born drink, made with chewy, addictive tapioca pearls, milk and any number of fruity, sweet and decadent flavors. With summer in the air, the perfect time of year for an icy, creamy, sweet bubble tea is upon us. I truly love covering food, drink and the people who make them, and I love getting to read my colleagues’ hard-nosed reporting without having to fill out all the public records requests myself.īut don’t say I never put my body on the line for this job, dear readers. In my current job, there’s a lot less frenzied running to fires and a lot more slowly wobbling away from gut-bursting, delicious meals. And for some reason, I assumed that person would be me. ![]() Braving forest fires and shootouts, fearlessly speaking truth to power, uncovering bombshells hidden between the black bars of redacted public records - it was hard work, but someone had to do it. When I was a kid, my idea of a journalist was a gritty, hard-boiled one.

Registering the car to you will also usually require proof of insurance, proof that you’ve paid sales tax, and certification that the car has passed inspections.

Guam lies west of the International Date Line and is a day ahead of the mainland and Hawaii, which is 3,800 miles to the east. The weather service said the storm could hit southern Guam around midday Wednesday, which is Tuesday evening in the mainland United States. The weather service said the storm was intensifying and warned of a "triple threat" of winds, torrential rains and life-threatening storm surge on Guam. Its center was about 140 miles southeast of Guam late Tuesday local time and was moving to the north-northwest, according to the weather service. With rain from the storm's outer bands already falling on the territory, National Weather Service said the storm had been upgraded to a Category 4 "super typhoon," meaning maximum sustained winds of 150 mph or greater. Officials warned residents who aren't in fully concrete structures - many homes on the far-flung island are made of wood and tin - to consider moving. Lou Leon Guerrero said on social media that the declaration will support the mobilization of resources into Guam, which is "especially crucial given our distance from the continental U.S." Guerrero ordered residents of coastal, low-lying and flood-prone areas of the territory of over 150,000 people to evacuate to higher elevations.įederal assistance will be needed to save lives and property and "mitigate the effects of this imminent catastrophe," Guerrero said in a letter to the president requesting a "pre-landfall emergency" for Guam. ![]() Guam resident Albert Eliasson told KUAM News he is stocking up and battening down, including making sure to have enough water to drink and flush toilets.The weather service said the storm was intensifying and warned of a "triple threat" of winds, torrential rains and life-threatening storm surge on Guam.Lou Leon Guerrero said on social media that the declaration will support the mobilization of resources into Guam, which is "especially crucial given our distance from the continental U.S. President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration as an intensifying Super Typhoon Mawar approached Guam, where anyone not living in a concrete house was urged to seek safety elsewhere and emergency shelters began to fill ahead of what could be the most powerful storm to hit the U.S. ![]() Tapping on one of a city's tiles reassigns a citizen to work it and collect the resources it contains. Instead, the entirety of resource collection is done via the city menu and citizens. When I began a game, I noticed immediately that, like the first game, Civ Rev 2 doesn't have workers. The developer said that the removal was due to low player counts in multiplayer and a design choice to focus on the single-player experience. Although it has weekly scenarios with scoring systems, the player-vs.-player mode seen in the first title has been removed for this game. Fortunately, the camera automatically cycles through idle units and cities that, so manual perspective control is usually not necessary.Ĭiv Rev 2 also doesn't have multiplayer. You cannot zoom out from the default perspective, and I could never find a world map to look at. However, the improvements do come with a tradeoff: the camera is difficult to use. Selecting a city now brings up every build order and statistic, so you do not have to navigate through a maze of menus to get there. ![]() Moving a unit now only requires selecting the character and double-tapping on the tile you want to move to. Battles now occur with full animation in the environment, rather than the tiny, pixellated window that popped up for combat in the first game.Ĭontrols and the interface have also been upgraded. Cities grow as objects within the world, rather than just icons. The main differences between Civilization Revolution 1 and 2 can be seen in the visuals. While no official Civilization 7 gameplay has been released just yet, YouTuber JumboPixel, who focuses primarily on 4X strategy games, has released a couple of videos we found interesting, one about the game's possible release date being earlier than expected and one looking at Firaxis's showing at Game Developers Conference 2022, and the future of the franchise.Ĭivilization 7 release date window discussion.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's ![]() Players will once again be able to conquer the world, one step at a time, and we do expect new leaders and some revamped systems in Civilization 7. It is a certainty that Civilization 7 will be a turn-based 4X strategy title, as all previous entries into the franchise. Civilization 7 Gameplay & Speculation Fans are excited to learn more about Civilization 7, and so are we! (Picture: Firaxis) The developer has released two full expansions for Civilization 6 and the New Frontier Pass, so the content does keep flowing. While it is likely that the game has been in development for at least a year, Civilization fans haven't been left entirely unappeased. The reason we think this is Civilization 7 and not XCOM 3 is simple the Narrative Lead role requires "knowledge and passion for world history," which points a finger directly at a Civilization title. In November 2021, Firaxis put out some job applications, including one for a Narrative Lead to work on their next AAA strategy game. However, we know that developer Firaxis has something cooking, and it is likely not XCOM 3. There has been no official announcement about Civilization 7 yet, and no credible leaks. Civilization 7 News or Announcements? We can't wait for official information on Civilization 7. It is also important to note that, very likely, we won't hear any news about the game until after the release of Marvel's Midnight Suns on 2nd December 2022. Since we don't know when will Civilization 7 (VII) come out officially, our guestimate is that the game won't release for a few years, likely sometime in 2024. It's been six years since the latest entry, Civilization 6, was released. Game Title Release Date Civilization September 1991 Civilization 2 February 1996 Civilization 3 October 2001 Civilization 4 June 2006 Civilization 5 November 2010 Civilization 6 October 2016Īs you can see, there's roughly a five to six-year gap between releases of mainline Civilization titles. Looking at it from a historical perspective for mainline entries, we can see that the release of Civilization 7 is getting to the "overdue" point. (Picture: Firaxis)Īt the time of writing, there is no official confirmed release date for Civilization 7, but in this article, you’ll find all (if any) information that the developer shared, as well as some speculation from Ginx on when we could see it launch. Civilization 7 Release Date Speculation It seems Civilization 7 is taking longer to release than the time it would take to build a World Wonder. Read more about the Civ 6 Leader Pass in our recent article. Highlighted leaders from the Civ 6 Leader Pass are Abraham Lincoln for America, Ramses III for Egypt, Nvinga de Nongo for Kongo, and Elizabeth of Russia. It looks like Civilization 7 might not release any time soon, as there is more to come for Civilization 6, with a solid leak pointing toward a Leader Pass with a lot more content.
