Mendoza joined the Navy in 1997 and served for over 16 years as a Member of Seal Team 5 and a Land Warfare Training Detachment and Bud/s instructor. He was awarded a Silver Star “for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as Lead Communicator, Naval Special Warfare Task Unit-Ramadi, in direct support of Operation Iraqi Freedom on November 19, 2006,” according to Military Times. He co-founded War Office Producers alongside retired Army Ranger Jariko Denman.

There is no shortage of outdoor survival thrillers that use past tragedies or estranged family ties as the fulcrum of the narrative mechanism, and in the well-made ones, the atmospheric isolation works like a charm in intensifying the central mystery. Although River Wild, a remake of the 1994 hit starring Meryl Streep of the same name (minus the definitive prefix), does fall into a similar category of movies, its straightforward plotline, questionable characterization, and loopholes contribute to it being a pretty forgettable watch.
While Leighton Meester and Adam Brody as leads make the ordeal of finishing the movie in one go less of a bland affair than it could have been, the highly predictable plot turns out to be the major deal breaker.

You can make just about any combination of classes work in this game, though most of the best combinations will follow the basic “Tank, Healer, Melee Dps, Ranged Dps” setup.
Of course, since Baldur’s Gate 3 plays with traditional role-playing…err…roles in rather interesting ways, you don’t necessarily have to follow that tried and true formula to make it through the game. To give you a better idea of what is possible,...
