The Devil May Cry series is a hack and slash video game series where the player fights demons using both melee weapons and firearms.
The video game series has five main games and one reboot game.
For most of the series, the player plays as Dante, a demon-hunter who is half-human and half-demon.
The player earns upgrades, learns new moves, and buys items using Red Orbs, a pickup the player gets by exploring the level and killing enemies.
The player gets more Red Orbs from enemies by getting a higher Combo Ranking.
The player increases their Combo Ranking by killing multiple enemies quickly without getting hurt and by using many different attacks in a short amount of time.
Interestingly enough, the first Devil May Cry game was supposed to be Resident Evil 4.
However, the game became so different from earlier Resident Evil games that the development team decided that the game should be a new IP instead of a Resident Evil game.
The first Devil May Cry game sold well and got good reviews.
Due to the game's popularity, it had several sequels and inspired other hack and slash games like Bayonetta.
Despite the first game getting good reviews, the sequel, Devil May Cry 2, got poor reviews.
Nonetheless, since the second game sold well there was enough money to make Devil May Cry 3, which got many good reviews, although it got some criticisms for being such a difficult game.
Devil May Cry 4 also got good reviews, and the difficulty was made a little easier so that more people could enjoy it, but it was criticized for reusing levels instead of making more levels.
Worried that the game series could lose its appeal to video game players if it did not change the game series much, Capcom hired a British game developer named Ninja Theory to reboot the game series with DmC: Devil May Cry.
The game was loosely based on the story of the earlier games, but the game had a much darker tone and Dante's look and personality was changed a lot.
While the game got positive reviews from professional critics, it was criticized very heavily by fans of the series, who did not like Dante's new look and personality.
Due to harsh criticisms from the fans, Capcom decided to continue the original series by making Devil May Cry 5.

A rocket launcher is a weapon that shoots rockets.

Adams was born in Victoria, Australia.
Recoilless rifles are guns that can shoot very large bullets or explosives without any recoil.
This is important because Newton's First Law of Motion teaches that whenever something moves, there is a motion that goes the opposite direction that is just as strong.
This is why guns have recoil.
Whenever a gun shoots a bullet forward, the bullet going forward creates an equally strong movement backward.
The heavier a bullet is, the more force needed to fire a bullet forward, and therefore the more force the bullet sends the gun backward.
Recoilless rifles can fire very large bullets and explosives without hurting their users because they are made with a hole in the back of the gun so that the force from firing the gun goes behind the user, rather than towards the user's shoulder.
People using recoilless rifles must be very careful that no one is behind them when they are shooting because the force going behind the gun, or the backblast, is powerful enough to kill a person.

The Sniper Elite series is a series of stealth-based World War II third-person shooter video games with special attention placed on long-distance bullet physics.
In these games, players need to pay attention to how far their enemies are, the effective range of their sniper rifles, and how hard the wind is blowing, since all of these will affect where the player's bullets will hit.
Most of the levels are about the player going to the vantage point (the best place for a sniper to kill his or her target), killing or destroying his or her target, and evacuating the area.
Players will need to use stealth throughout the levels, since the player can die with just a few hits.
If players fire their rifles when there are loud noises in the background, the player can kill enemy soldiers without other soldiers noticing.
However, the player must be careful to hide dead bodies or shoot when no one is watching, since dead bodies will alert other enemy soldiers and make them harder to hit.
If the player holds his or her lungs, the in-game time will slow down and there will be a marker that shows where the bullet will hit.
The games have an X-ray feature that shows where the bullets hit the enemy and how the bullets injure enemies.
Points are awarded based on how far the player is, where the player hits the enemy, and whether other enemy soldiers notice the player killing them.
Along with a sniper rifle, the player can also carry a pistol, a submachine gun, and explosives.
Some pistols have a suppressor so that the player can kill enemies without being heard, others do not, so the player must be careful when choosing his or her weapons.
Submachine guns are best used in emergency close-quarters firefights, but the player must be careful not to waste ammo.
Explosives can be used to lay traps for the enemy or protect the player from being flanked.
A jumpscare is a way to scare the audience using sudden, loud noises and/or quick visual changes.
It is not only used in horror movies, but also in many non-horror movies as well.

Typhoon Lekima, known in the Philippines as the Typhoon Hanna, was the second-costliest typhoon in Chinese history, only behind Fitow in 2013.
The ninth named storm of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season, Lekima originated from a tropical depression that formed east of the Philippines on July 30.
It gradually organized, became a tropical storm and was named on August 4.
Lekima intensified under favourable environmental conditions and peaked as a Category 4–equivalent super typhoon.
However, an eyewall replacement cycle caused the typhoon to weaken before it made landfall in Zhejiang late on August 9, as a Category 2–equivalent typhoon.
Lekima weakened subsequently while moving across the East China, and made its second landfall in Shandong on August 11.
Lekima's precursor enhanced the southwestern monsoon in the Philippines, which brought heavy rain to the country.
The rains caused three boats to sink and 31 people died in this accident.
Lekima brought catastrophic damage in mainland China, with a death toll of 89 people and more than CN¥53.7 billion (US$7.6 billion) in damages.
The system also caused minor damage in Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan.
On August 2, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) began to monitor a tropical depression which developed over the Philippine Sea.
The system slowly developed while moving northward.
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) also monitored the system and gave the identifier 10W early on August 4.
The JMA upgraded the system to a tropical storm and assigned the name Lekima at 6:00 a.m. UTC that day.
The JTWC followed suit later that day.
Though Lekima was affected by moderate wind shear, warm waters of  and good outflow channel allowed Lekima to slowly intensify, and Lekima became almost stationary due to the absence of steering current.
On August 6, Lekima steered by a subtropical ridge to the northeast and accelerated to the northwest, and the JMA upgraded Lekima to a severe tropical storm.
Later that day, both JMA and JTWC upgraded Lekima to a typhoon, after the system developed a central dense overcast.
As Lekima continued to move northwestward, the system moved into an area of low wind shear, and it started a process of rapid intensification on August 7.
The eye became evident on satellite imagery.
On August 8, the JTWC upgraded Lekima to a super typhoon, and stated that the system had acquired some of the annular characteristics.
Later that day, the JMA stated that Lekima attained maximum sustained winds of .
At the same time, Lekima passed between Miyako-jima and Tarama-jima.
Shortly thereafter, Lekima began an eyewall replacement cycle.
The typhoon developed a concentric eyewall, as seen from the radar.
This cycle also caused the motion of Lekima slightly veered to the north, and the JTWC downgraded Lekima back to typhoon late on August 8.
Environmental conditions in East China Sea became less favourable, causing Lekima to slowly weaken while approaching East China.
At 1:45 a.m. China Standard Time (UTC+08:00) August 10, Lekima made landfall in Wenling, Zhejiang with two-minute sustained winds of .
Lekima quickly weakened and turned to the north, along the western side of the subtropical ridge.
Lekima dropped below typhoon intensity early on August 10, and weakened further to a tropical storm later that day.
Lekima emerged into the Yellow Sea early on August 11, and made second landfall in Xihai'an, Qingdao, Shandong at 8:50 p.m. CST, with two-minute sustained winds of .
The JTWC issued its final warning to the system around that time.
Lekima meandered over the Shandong Peninsula and Bohai Sea throughout August 12, and the JMA downgraded it to a tropical depression later that day.
As Lekima moved northwestward and approached the northern part of the Philippines, PAGASA issued PSWS#1 to Batanes and the Babuyan Islands late on August 6.
These warnings were lifted after Lekima left the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
Though Lekima, locally known as "Hanna", did not directly affect the Philippines, it enhanced the southwest monsoon which caused heavy rain to the nation.
Three boats sank in Guimaras Strait; 31 people died and three were left missing.
Heavy rains also caused flooding in Metro Manila.
Classes of numerous cities were suspended on August 5.
A motorboat carrying 10 passengers capsized off the coast of Mactan Island in the early morning of August 7.
To the south, waves from Lekima displaced more than 1,300 people in Davao City.
Agricultural damage in Central Luzon was at ₱80.5 million (US$1.55 million).
As Lekima approached the southwestern Ryukyu Islands, Ishigaki-jima and Miyako-jima received a storm warning.
The JMA urged the residents on these islands to beware of high waves, heavy rain, and sudden gusts.
Gusts in Miyako-jima reached , while gusts in Shimojishima Airport and Iriomote-jima reached  and  respectively.
Six people were injured during the storm, and thousands of families suffered from power outages.
Hundreds of flights and passenger ship trips were cancelled on August 7–9, mainly in Miyako-jima and Ishigaki-jima, affecting thousands of passengers.
Agricultural damage across the island chain was JP¥347 million (US$3.29 million).
Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau (CWB) issued a sea warning on August 7.
As Lekima continued to approach the island, the CWB issued a land warning to the northern part of Taiwan early on the next day, locally.
The CWB lifted the land warning late on August 9, and lifted the sea warning early on the next day, after Lekima made landfall in East China.
On late August 8, school and work were cancelled for the next day in eight municipalities and counties in the northern part of Taiwan and in the Matsu Islands.
Hundreds of flights and ships were cancelled and delayed.
Throughout Taiwan, Lekima killed two people and injured 15 others.
More than 80,000 families suffered power outages.

Lekima's downdraft affected Kinmen on August 9, where a farmland recorded temperature of , setting the national record for the second highest temperature.
Jinfeng Township also recorded a temperature of .
Institutional damage of Lekima, along with a magnitude 6.0 earthquake reached NT$5.24 million (US$167,000).
Striking East China as a super typhoon, according to China Meteorological Administration, Lekima wrought major damage across numerous provinces.
In all, the typhoon killed 56 people and left 14 others missing.
Damage nationwide reached CN¥53.72 billion (US$7.6 billion).
Zhejiang was the worst hit province; 39 people died in the province, and economic loss reached CN¥24.22 billion (US$3.43 billion).
Most of those killed died because of landslides in Yongjia County, and the landslides blocked a river.
Water levels rose  in ten minutes, and many residents could not evacuate in time.
Wenling recorded peak wind gusts of , while daily rainfall in Beilun District amounted to .
Lekima also brought significant effects in Shandong, where 5 people were killed and the damage statewide amounted to CN¥1.475 billion (US$209 million).

Tabun is a nerve agent.
It was the first of the G-series nerve agents, and called GA.
Its potential was known from
The substance was developed in 1936 by the German chemist Gerhard Schrader.
He was responsible for the I.G. Farben (Leverkusen) work on pesticides.
From 1942 Tabun was industrially produced.
It was filled in bombs and shells for the Wehrmacht in WWII, but not used.
Lever-action rifles first became important weapons during the American Civil War.
Two rifles made during this time were the Henry and Spencer rifles.
They fired much more quickly and could be loaded much faster than muzzleloading rifles.
However, their use was limited because many generals felt that the ability to shoot many bullets without reloading would cause soldiers to shoot with less accuracy.
However, after the Civil War, lever-action guns became much more popular.
They were popular with not just soldiers, but also with hunters and even civilians.
They were so popular that the most famous lever-action rifle, the Winchester Model 1873, was called "the gun that won the West".
Both the militaries of the United States and the Russian Empire used lever-action guns often until the beginning of the 20th century.
Even though lever action guns can fire much faster than bolt-action rifles (lever-actions can fire 2 rounds a second in skilled hands,) the bolt-action rifle was chosen to be the main gun for most infantry.
This was because bolt-action rifles could easily be fired when soldiers are lying on the ground, but lever-actions cannot do so easily.
Lever-action guns were made for many different types of bullets, both pistol and rifle bullets.
Most lever-action guns are rifles, but there are also lever-action shotguns as well.
The most famous of these are the Winchester Model 1887.
The Winchester Model 1887 is a lever-action shotgun invented by John Browning.
It was one of the first successful repeating shotguns.
When the repeating rifle became more popular in the decades after the American Civil War, the need for a shotgun that could hold more than just two shotgun shells at a time also grew.
Using the same lever action used in repeating rifles, John Browning created the Model 1887.
While it was popular at the time it was first made, its popularity quickly went away after John Browning invented the first pump-action shotgun a few years later.
Even though it quickly lost its popularity in the real world, it is still a popular gun shown in movies and video games.
It was the gun of choice for characters Kyle Reese and the T-800 in the Terminator movies.
It was also one of the most popular guns used in the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
The Gatling gun is a machine gun that has many barrels that fire bullets by turning the barrels around in a circle.
It was the first machine gun ever made.
It was first used by the Union Army during the American Civil War.
Although it was very powerful, it was not much used because it cost a lot of money and was heavy.
It was used more often in other wars during the second half of the 19th century.
It was used in the Anglo-Zulu War, the Boshin War, and the Spanish-American War.
Early in the 20th century armies stopped using it because other machine guns were better.
The Minigun is based on the Gatling gun.
The Gatling gun is a machine gun, but it is not called an automatic weapon because a user must continue to crank it instead of merely holding down the trigger.
Still it was very useful in the wars.
Founded in 1936 as Consumer Union, CR was created to serve as a information source that consumers could use to help assess product performance and safety.
Since that time, CR has continued its testing and analysis of products and services, and advocate for the consumer in legislative and rule-making areas.
Consumer Reports helped advocate for seat belt laws, the dangers of cigarettes, and recently,  the growth of consumer finance protection and the growth of consumer access to better health care.
The organization has also expanded its scope to a set of digital platforms.
The organization’s headquarters, including its 50 testing labs, is in Yonkers, New York, while its cars are tested at a track site in East Haddam, Connecticut.
CR is funded by subscriptions to its magazine and website, as well as through independent grants and donations.
Marta L. Tellado is the current CEO of Consumer Reports.
She joined the organization in 2014, with the goal of expanding its engagement and advocacy efforts.
Consumer Reports' website and magazine writes reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on reporting and results from its in-house testing laboratory and survey research center.
CR accepts no advertising, and has no shareholders as a nonprofit organization.
It also publishes general and targeted product/service buying guides.
Consumer Reports pays for all the products it tests through common ways citizens buy products and services.
They do this through secret, anonymous shoppers.
Only paid subscribers can access its website ConsumerReports.org, in its entirety.
ConsumerReports.org writes updates on product availability, and adds new products to already existing test results.
In addition, the online data includes features that is not in the magazine; for example, vehicle reliability (frequency of repair) tables online show the full 10 model years reported in the Annual Questionnaires, but the magazine has only a six-year history of each model.
