The Monster Hunter series has long been known for its detailed, inventive creature designs. The games put you up against terrifying beasts that blend the prehistoric with fantasy: part dragon, part dinosaur, but somehow still plausible. These designs have always been slightly hindered by technology, releasing on comparatively underpowered systems like Nintendo’s Wii or Sony’s PSP.

But that’s changed with Monster Hunter World, which is out now on the PS4 and Xbox One. (A PC version is on the way later this year.) The team at Capcom has made use of the extra horsepower to create its most convincing creatures yet, both in terms of how they behave and how they look. Towering dinosaurs with soft tufts of feathers run through fields, chasing…

After seven years of planning and construction, Amazon’s mini rainforest spheres are finally opening in Seattle. “The Spheres,” as they’re known, hold 40,000 plants from 30 different countries around the world. They were designed as places employees can go to take a break or meet up with others away from their desks. The spheres also feature living walls, which are vertical gardens with over 25,000 plants woven into 4,000 square feet of mesh.

The structure is made of three connected spheres constructed from glass and steel, and, as reported by Bloomberg, they can accommodate up to 800 people. The biggest sphere is 90 feet high and 130 feet wide. Inside, it’s warm and humid, with temperatures sitting at an average of 72 degrees Fahrenheit…

After the false missile alert in Hawaii on Saturday morning, a new image from government officials reveals how confusing the alert system is. Instead of pressing a button, operators of the alert system have to select a link on a list of choices with obscure names like “1. Test Message.” The option that the employee mistakenly clicked on was “PACOM (CDW) - State Only.” The link that should have been clicked on was similarly named “Drill - PACOM (CDW) - State Only.”

Many of the names are similar to each other, so it’s easy to see how an employee (either without proper training or caffeine), could click on the wrong link and send off a warning to the public of a ballistic missile threat. On Saturday at 8AM, the employee was simply supposed…
