One particularly tiresome tendency in many of them is their insistence on drinking from the faucet. In a post on Reddit, a user shared a video of a cat drinking from a water cooler, saying: “That’s one way to drink water.” Another user pointed out that this was clearly a regular occurrence as the owners had placed a towel around the base of the cooler to mop up the moggy’s mess....
Some saw it as a surprise when it was revealed that Warhammer: Vermintide 2 could be claimed for free. Likely, this is tied to Fatshark nearly being ready for the release of its latest title Darktide, as it gives a sort of demo to those who may not be familiar with the style of game the developer makes. For whatever reason, Steam decided to make Vermintide 2 free, it’s certainly a title gamers shouldn’t disregard....
Seems hilarious now, right? This was what draft experts such as ESPN’s Mel Kiper were insisting, though, that the Steelers would err massively by passing on the opportunity to select Pennington, a star quarterback for the Marshall Thundering Herd. They instead chose wide receiver Plaxico Burress. Pennington stayed on the board through another nine picks until the Jets chose him at 18th overall. He appeared in six career playoff games, won two and never was chosen to a Pro Bowl....
I’ve owned succeeding generations of iPads since Apple launched the line, and this is the first Apple tablet I can wholeheartedly recommend for anything beyond media consumption. It’s fast enough to work on multiple documents while watching videos, and it’s the best Apple device I’ve ever used. As Apple’s mid-range tablet, the iPad Air (starting at $599) is positioned price- and feature-wise between the basic iPad (starting at $329) and the iPad Pro (starting at $799)....
The Octatrack comes from Sweden’s Elektron, and is perhaps one of the weirdest electronic musical instruments ever built, from its design to its music-mangling results. The Octatrack is hard to describe. It’s a step sequencer with eight tracks, but it’s also a sampler, an eight-track recorder, a MIDI sequencer, and an effects box. You can use it as a guitar looper pedal, or just as a mixer for other gear....
After an offseason trade request and a few months of controversy, including 22 sexual misconduct lawsuits and a pending criminal investigation, Watson is still firmly planted on Houston’s bench, and will remain there until the 2022 offseason. Both Davis Mills and Tyrod Taylor will remain the team’s QBs in Watson’s absence, while GM Nick Caserio will likely reopen these discussions following the season. Even after prices were named and a “deal” was reportedly agreed to, Watson is sticking in Houston....
The ending of Witcher 3 can come in the form of three main takes: the good, the bad, and the best. In comparison to an ending to Ciri becoming a witcher or an ending where Ciri becomes the emperess, an ending where Ciri presumably dies by giving herself over to the White Frost might seem bad. It’s not ideal, but still serves as a cathartic yet somber conclusion to the epic tale of the Witcher and his daughter....
But Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelensky, have urged caution and say they are skeptical of Russia’s intentions in retreating from the western portion of the southern Kherson region. “Our emotions must be restrained. The enemy does not bring us gifts,” Zelensky said in an evening address to the nation on Wednesday. “Therefore, we move very carefully, without emotions, without unnecessary risk.” Kherson became the first major region to fall to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces after the war began....
Part of that is the phrase itself. There is no single maximum salary in the NBA. A player’s salary is capped by how long he has played in the league, his salary under his previous contract and the salary cap itself. Last year, Jazz forward Gordon Hayward and Cavaliers forward LeBron James both signed for “the max” (James only for two years, Hayward for four), yet Hayward made almost $6 million less than James....
The Foxes were forced to a 1-1 draw by David Moyes’ men at the London Stadium in the Friday Night encounter. Marc Albrighton had given the visitors an early lead before Senegal international Cheikhou Kouyate’s header on the stroke of half-time saw the two sides share the spoils. However, Puel disclosed that Mahrez, making his 12th start in 13 league games played this campaign, was used as a bait - in the 70th minute - for their struggles against a more physical West Ham in the second half....
However, this was a departure from the earlier gameplan laid out by Ed Woodward which seemed to point at the appointment of a technical director as paramount, with the decision to hire a new manager in the summer to be taken after due consultation with an installed football chief (at least that’s what I thought). Amidst the fanfare of the Ole Gunnar Solskajaer appointment, I read an ESPN report which stated that Manchester United will appoint a technical director ‘before the end of the summer transfer window’....
Pereira started pre-season in good form and he was positive about his first-team chances at Old Trafford. However, a move to Valencia on a season-long loan deal has left some United fans confused. After all, Manchester United are competing in four competitions this season, and we know that Mourinho likes to win every trophy. This requires a big squad, considering all the injuries that a club might have to face....
That’s because two prominent teams in the Eastern Conference – the Bucks and the Heat – had to forfeit their second-round picks in this year’s NBA Draft. Why? More on that in a moment. This marks the first draft since 2004 with fewer than 60 picks, after the Timberwolves conceded a pick for illegally contacting Joe Smith. The Bucks and Heat had similar dealings during delayed free agency periods, which led to the league revoking second-round picks....
Dedmon, 33, took exception to being substituted and appeared to throw a massage gun on to the court. He was then ejected from the game. Late on Wednesday, the Heat issued a statement on Twitter saying Dedmon would miss another game, without pay. The team tweeted: “The Miami Heat have, in consultation with the NBA, suspended Dewayne Dedmon for one game without pay for conduct detrimental to the team for actions that took place in the bench area of last night’s game vs....
Expect to see lots of Mini-LED screens in 2021, in TVs, laptops, and even iPads. The advantage of this screen tech is that it can give superior images, but without the cost and difficulty of manufacturing large OLED screens. It’s going to be (literally) big. “I believe with smaller pixel elements [mini-LED] improves black levels and overall image quality,” tech writer Orestis Bastounis told Lifewire via Twitter. “Black is closer to ’true’ black—still not as good as OLED which is a pixel emitting zero light as it’s turned off completely, but closer....
For as long as games have released on PC, there have been mods that fix or remix them. One particularly notable example is the original PC port of Dark Souls, where the comprehensive DSFix mod actually got the mod creator a job in the games industry. Resident Evil Village mod author Maceyaface is in a similar position, as they are fed up with the “nonsense” excuses Capcom provides for its FOV and Vignette choices....
Moonfall was first announced with Roland Emmerich writing and directing back in 2019. The budget was set at $140 million, making it one of the most expensive independent films in history. Casting took place over the course of 2020, with several changes having to be made due to COVID restrictions not allowing some actors to travel to set. Filming began in late 2020 and through 2021. The film begins in space with a crew of astronauts working on a satellite that is attacked by some strange space entity....
While there are many lovable characters on the Overwatch roster, few can match the adoration received by the Support hero Mercy. While she may not be on the cover art for the game or appear in many Animated Shorts, Mercy has still taken the world by storm. The Swiss medic’s popularity can be attributed to a few specific things, with the sum of these parts being an instantly recognizable character that has only grown more popular over time....
As always, it promises to be an electrifying event that introduces some new exciting talent. And the renowned and well-established players would also, of course, waste no time in showcasing their masterful skills. Over the years, the IPL has been partially and to some extent, very rightfully, credited for the success of Indian cricket. The mega tournament has given a lot of young Indian talents an opportunity to learn while playing against and alongside the world’s best players....
Ethan loses consciousness and wakes up in what appears to be some kind of crash just outside the village where the rest of the game takes place. Those who saw the trailer for Resident Evil Village already knew this particular event was going to happen. Those who did witness the event had plenty of theories as to why Chris apparently killed Mia. The most prevalent one is that she wasn’t actually cured of the disease that ravaged her in Resident Evil 7....
