Marvel’s Wolverine trophy guide: Full list of trophies

For all the key info on how to collect all the Wolverine trophies, keep on reading and we’ll explain what you need to do. How many trophies are in Marvel’s Wolverine? There are 42 trophies in Marvel’s Wolverine, we can confirm. That total includes 28 Bronze, nine Silver, four Gold and one shiny Platinum trophy. You’ll tick off a really significant number of these, simply by playing through the main plot and rattling through combat encounters. We estimate that, for most players, it’ll only take about five extra hours to get the Platinum, after you’ve beaten the main story. That’s especially true if you find a lot of collectables on your first go through the …

Progressives See Their Next Trophy in Michigan

Progressives See Their Next Trophy in Michigan

You won’t find a much harsher critic of the Democratic Party than the progressive trying to secure its nomination for Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed. When I caught up with him last week in Ann Arbor, he was at a café holding an outdoor roundtable with young voters, many of them college students or recent graduates. The normally voluble El-Sayed, drinking matcha and dressed casually in his signature tight black T-shirt and jeans, listened as much as he talked, and he heard the students describe their disillusionment with politics—and especially with Democratic candidates. “Your generation has a great bullshit meter, because you’re fed bullshit online all day,” El-Sayed told the group. “And the Democratic Party brand right now is so bullshit.” It was not a statement with which any of the students seemed to disagree. “You tell it like it is, and that’s what we young people want,” Joe Garris, the president of the College Democrats at Eastern Michigan University, told El-Sayed. “We don’t want to hear corporate answers anymore. We just want the straight …

So THAT's Why There's A Pineapple On The Men's Wimbledon Trophy

(You really do learn something new every day…) Even once you wrap your head around that, though, questions remain – like why on Earth the fruit is on top of the men’s Wimbledon singles trophy. After all, it’s not like the fruit has royal associations (unlike the three lions on England’s football kit). I can’t think of any obvious tennis links, either. Yet the mini gold-hued decoration has sat there for over a hundred years, perched on top of the prize like the exotic bobble on a very glitzy hat. So… what’s going on? Why is there a pineapple on top of the men’s Wimbledon trophy?  It seems to be there as a status symbol.  In 1493, long before the tennis tournament began, Christopher Columbus brought pineapples back to Spain. Europe, including what is now the UK, quickly became besotted with the fruit. But a predictable problem arose: we couldn’t cultivate …
