In one 2014 report, scientists found 13 genes in domestic cats which had clearly adapted compared to their wildcat sisters, showing how they had become more friendly and domesticated.

Why Trying And Failing To Sign 250M Ronaldo Could Make Man Utd A Laughing Stock Again

Throw in the fact that he retains a great love for Manchester United after winning nine trophies in six years with the club between 2003 and 2009, and the reasons Cristiano Ronaldo might be courted extensively by those in power at Old Trafford are obvious. Ronaldo ‘urged to join PSG’ In many ways, the news that Ronaldo is considering leaving Madrid amid accusations by Spanish prosecutors of multi-million euro tax evasion could not be more welcoming for United fans....

Why Live A Live Releasing On Nintendo Switch Is A Momentous Occasion

While the global release of Live A Live is momentous in and of itself, the impact it could have on both the Switch and the industry at large is huge. For so many reasons, Nintendo’s willingness to bring a game that’s 28 years old back into the limelight is brave, and could be an opportunity to highlight the immense quality of JRPGs during the Super Nintendo era. With titles like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, and Secret of Mana, the system was perhaps the golden age of the genre, and Live A Live’s remaster has a huge legacy to live up to....

Why Lucina Calls Herself Marth In Fire Emblem Awakening

Though it’s briefly touched upon, Fire Emblem: Awakening doesn’t do much to explain why Lucina would have done this. Even more, though Lucina does have a direct connection to Marth, this doesn’t really come up as an important plot point during the story. For many, the whole thing felt contrived and confusing, but others are still trying to figure out if Lucina had a reason for choosing Marth as her disguise....

On MUTV’s Thursday Focus, Young revealed his manager’s music preference, saying, “I’ve been told by the manager I can only play funky house or house music. Seriously that’s what he likes.

Why Overwatch 2 Should Separate Itself From The First Game

While this apparent delay may be disappointing to Overwatch fans who are anxious to play the second game, it could give it a unique opportunity that it wouldn’t have otherwise. Currently, the plan is for Overwatch 2 to share PvP with Overwatch 1. Eventually, Blizzard may fold the games into a singular experience, but for now, shared content is the plan. But now that Overwatch 2 is reportedly not coming until 2022 at the earliest, it may be best for it to separate itself from the original Overwatch entirely....

Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of the princess’ life shows her wings being clipped by overbearing staff, including an ex-military equerry who watches her every move. Some scenes appear to directly reference statements she made during a famous 1995 interview with BBC Panorama. However, the tell-all is controversial because it recently emerged the princess was coaxed into giving it by journalist Martin Bashir using falsified financial documents which suggested her staff were betraying her....

Why Resident Evil May Never Work On Screen

The franchise isn’t afraid to go off the deep end and get a little weird from time to time, to say the least. It’s what gives it that B-movie aesthetic that works so well for the franchise that many fans have come to adore about each installment. It keeps to a set of rules or characteristics that allows the audience to recognize it as a Resident Evil product and after that, it just lets loose in some chaotic nonsense territory that just makes the franchise as fun as it is-or in certain cases, muddled and just downright awful....

Why Ryan Giggs Is The Greatest Player In Premier League History

The strange thing about Giggs is that he was heralded as a potential great right from the off. The first time Ferguson saw his young charge in action he was mesmerised: “He was 13 and floated over the ground like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.” The player would come to define the manager’s reign as the club enjoyed unprecedented success spanning two decades....

Why Some The Last Of Us 2 Haters Are Comparing It To Star Wars 8

Well before The Last of Us Part 2 even released, there were some fans of the original game that were calling for boycotts of the sequel. And when the game eventually released, the criticisms of The Last of Us 2 only grew. From review bombs to personal threats, the response among some fans to the sequel has been so aggressive that it borders on obsessive.

Why The Elder Scrolls 6 Needs Another Time Jump

As The Elder Scrolls Online shows, Tamriel has been culturally and technologically static for at least a millennium. Political alliances rise and fall, but the boundaries of the provinces making them remains roughly the same, and each race remains in the same rough area of the continent. The Elder Scrolls 6 needs to make Tamriel seem like it’s really changing in terms of culture, knowledge, and borders. If it doesn’t, it may not be able to create the same sense of wonder that many players associate with their first foray into Tamriel....
