Why The California Ban On Power Hogging Pcs Is A Good Thing

The “sudden” change caused an uproar among the gaming community because of the perceived ban on some of the best gaming equipment. But what many don’t know is that this has been coming a long time—since 2016, to be exact. So, what exactly is the purpose of the prohibition? And why is California’s ban on high-end PC hardware a blessing in disguise? Title 20: The California Appliance Efficiency Regulation The regulation that had gamers up in arms is under the California Code of Regulations....

Why The Empire Strikes Back Is The Best Star Wars Film

It has been 42 calendar years since the May 21, 1980 release of George Lucas’ second film in the Star Wars franchise. It has been 25 years since the February 21, 1997 Special Edition re-release hit the theater. In that ocean of time, the franchise has grown and changed in ways that audiences, fans, and the filmmakers themselves never could’ve imagined. And yet, none of the ten films or countless series released since its initial run have managed to fully recapture that film’s success....

Why The Iphone Will Never Be The Best Games Console

On paper, the iPhone is way ahead of the Switch. The screen is nicer, the processor is better, and the battery lasts longer. So what’s keeping it from being the ultimate pocket game machine? There are a few reasons. One is that it can’t play the same kinds of games, because it doesn’t have any buttons. Another is that you can’t get games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the iPhone....

Why The Miz Should Retain The Intercontinental Championship At Wrestlemania 34

However, after losing the title to Alberto Del Rio in October of 2015, the title lost its prestige, and hasn’t come close to replicating what it achieved under The Face That Runs The Place. The same can’t be said about the Intercontinental title. Daniel Bryan’s impromptu retirement instantly hurt the prestige of the title. Ryback and Kevin Owens held the prestigious belt, but up until The Miz became a permanent fixture in the title picture, the relevance that the WWE wanted for the title wasn’t achieved....

Why The Nfl And La Rams Will Have To Pay A 1 Billion Settlement To The City Of St. Louis

The lawsuit is centered around the LA Rams moving away from St. Louis. They are being accused of illegally transferring to their new city, Los Angeles, and causing financial turmoil to the city of St. Louis. This is a major accusation against both the team and the league. To say it will be expensive to fix is a bit of an understatement. LA Rams and NFL should prepare to settle for at least $1 Billion Getting tied up in a massive public trial is not something that the NFL, or any other major corporation, is generally interested in....

Why There Are No International Teams In The 2021 Little League World Series

Only Little League has really lived up to the “world” aspect in that, as for several decades, teams from across the globe have travelled to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to take on American teams in a contest to determine the best Little League team in the world. That won’t be the case this year. For the first time since 1975, there will only be American teams vying for the chance to be crowned the 2021 Little League World Series champion....

Why Top Basketball Recruits Are Skipping College To Sign With Nba G League Overtime Elite

With choices such as playing for the NBA’s G League Ignite, going to play overseas or signing with another professional league in the U.S., more of the game’s top prospects are signing contracts to get paid while working their way to the NBA rather than taking the scholarship and spending a year in college. At least early, the decision seems to be paying off. LaMelo Ball spent a season playing basketball in Australia, forgoing a commitment to UCLA, before being drafted third overall by the Charlotte Hornets....

Why Liverpool Are Scared The Bottom 10 Could Bust Their Top Four Hopes

Jurgen Klopp has been stressing Liverpool’s need to be able to “win ugly”, to put defence at the forefront of their thinking and prioritise protection over their attacking instincts. Mane out for the season The German’s decision to replace an ill Philippe Coutinho with centre-back Joel Matip in the 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth in midweek has been picked apart. Only 65 minutes had been played, the Reds were in the ascendancy at 2-1 up, and Eddie Howe’s side were not offering up any kind to threat to force such a cautious change....

Why Manchester United S Top Four Hopes Hinge On Robin Van Persie

It did not take long. After 11 games out, it took Robin van Persie just six minutes to score on his Manchester United return. While all the focus before the game was on Juan Mata’s debut, it was the Dutchman who reminded the supporters what they’ve been missing during his lengthy spell on the sidelines. Sir Alex Ferguson’s last defining signing became an Old Trafford hero within a season of joining the club....

Why Manchester United Should Back Ole Whole Heartedly

Manchester United’s performance since Ole took over hasn’t been that great but its way better in comparison with Mourinho’s United. When Mourinho was sacked, Man United was languishing at 6th place with 11 points adrift of third-placed Chelsea. Since then, they have managed to reduce the deficit to 5 points which have not been enough for a top-four finish, but we should still not press the panic button. Under Ole, United’s misfiring strikers found new determination and we’re going great before they lost their touch again....

Why Minecraft Fans Should Be Excited For Hytale

The creators of the Hypixel Network have branched and made their own sandbox game titled Hytale, and while it is heavily inspired by Minecraft, it includes enough new features to distinguish it from its big brother. Fans of Minecraft should probably keep their eye on this game because it shows great potential and could grow to be a viable alternative to Minecraft. However, due to the growing scope of the game, players will have to wait a little longer than anticipated before they can play it....

Why My Wife Wants The Logitech Logi Dock

Logitech’s upcoming dock boasts a load of ports from USB-A to USB-C to HDMI to a Bluetooth connection, all built-in and ready to use out of the box. And, of course, it can also charge devices like laptops and tablets while they’re hooked up. The Logi Dock has been of particular interest to my wife, Diana Teeter, who’s both a part-time librarian for CUNY and a full-time artist. “Both jobs have resulted in tech and cords snaking around my desk—made worse now that my day job is remote sometimes,” she said....

Why Newcastle Should Jump Right Back Into The Premier League

Things would have been a lot different in Tyneside now if owner Mike Ashley had appointed Rafael Benitez much earlier than March. Ashley’s patience with Benitez’s predecessor Steve McClaren was, even more, surprising than the appointment of the former England manager in charge of the Magpies in the first place. Now, the million dollar question is can Newcastle secure promotion and jump right back into the Premier league? Many would feel the Toon army are the favourites to win the Sky Bet Championship which would help them secure automatic promotion....

Why Newt S In Trouble

The House ethics committee’s appointment last week of a special counsel to examine possible campaign violations by Gingrich could not have come at a worse time. The speaker has been badly hurt just as he enters this week’s crucial budget negotiations. Even in dismissing some charges, the ethics committee used words that will spear the speaker in attack ads. Gingrich’s $4.5 million book advance – which he later returned – was legal, the committee said, but it “creates the impression of exploiting one’s office for personal gain....

In a recent interview, Kaplan revealed his plans for how the team is approaching new heroes for Overwatch 2. While he understands the fan excitement over new heroes, he cautions that the game likely won’t have 21 to pick from at launch as he says a number like that would be excessive and disruptive to the game.

Why Paul Pogba To Real Madrid Makes Sense

Although they have completed five major signings for over €300m, Los Blancos still want to bolster their midfield. And one player that continues to be linked to them is a player who polarizes opinion like no other and makes headlines wherever he goes. Paul Pogba is one of the biggest footballers on the planet - whether in terms of talent, wages or Instagram followers. So the fact that some of the biggest clubs in Europe have shown interest in him should come as no surprise....

Why People Invest In You More Than Your Business

It pays to understand that price alone no longer rules the roost. Consumers are increasingly demonstrating a willingness to pay more for something if they have an established relationship with a reliable vendor. In short, buying your merch is an investment they are making in you. 1. Business People Have a Deep Understanding of the Value of Time.

Why Persona Fans Should Check Out The Trauma Center Games

The first game in the Sega-published series, Revelations: Persona, released in 1996 with a level of success that would carry through all future games. Players may spend a lot of time battling Shadows with their Personas, but they also socialize with carefully crafted characters on the regular, both of which highlight one of the main focuses of the franchise: exploring intimate and often dark aspects of human nature. For players who specifically enjoyed this aspect of the game, the Trauma Center series could serve as a new favorite....

The Cyborg star detailed his dismissal from the upcoming film The Flash, citing his negative experience with Warner Media and DC Films President Walter Hamada. Fisher’s announcement that he has been formally cut from his appearance as Victor ‘Cyborg’ Stone in the DC franchise comes following a statement he made last year publicly vowing he would not work on any project produced by Hamada. Fisher also made allegations of “abusive” behavior by director Joss Whedon on the set of 2017’s Justice League....

Why Remedy Entertainment Would Make A Great Doctor Strange Game

This should be taken with a grain of salt, as nothing has yet been confirmed or even hinted at by the studio. However, the notion of the team behind paranormal action games like Control and Alan Wake potentially taking on Marvel’s supernatural protagonist is compelling. Based on Remedy Entertainment’s library of work, there are a number of reasons why Doctor Strange is a perfect fit for the studio’s next big project....
