The former league MVP has changed teams — and changed looks for the upcoming season. A few weeks before the 2020-21 NBA season’s scheduled tip-off, the Wizards and Rockets engaged in a blockbuster trade sending Westbrook to D.C. — Westbrook’s third team in the past three seasons. In addition to the change of scenery, Westbrook will be changing his jersey number. MORE: Grading the Russell Westbrook trade from Rockets to Wizards...
Granted, these were the days before the internet and GameStop but a fully functioning NES in its heyday with two controllers, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Metroid, and Gyromite including R.O.B., could and should have gone for a lot more, although I’m glad that it didn’t. Before long, I was obsessed. I memorized maps, I remembered enemy patterns, I bombed every square inch of Hyrule and Zebes, stomped on every goomba in the Mushroom Kingdom, scoured every corner, and hunted down every last hidden room and secret item....
One of these books is The Book of the Dragonborn, an ancient text that elaborates on the history of the “Dragonborn” title. It also details the prophecy that reveals the player character to be the last Dragonborn destined to face off with Alduin, the “world-eater.” While this book can be found in multiple places, some players might be surprised to discover that the book first appears in Helgen Keep, right after the prisoner escapes from Imperial custody....
For decades I’ve repeatedly emphasized that consumers will always need specialists, so there shouldn’t be a fear of disintermediation. Consumers will always need advisors and always need counsel, especially when it comes to huge, emotional and pricey decisions like buying a house — likely the largest transaction they’ll ever make in their life. Even now, as the playing field changes due to new money and new entrants into various industries, that’s not going to be dramatically different....
One move that would make sense for San Francisco, though, is to pursue Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported Monday that the Falcons have been getting calls inquiring about the 32-year-old All-Pro wideout. Jones has 12,896 receiving yards and 60 touchdowns spanning 10 seasons in the NFL, and there are three reasons why he would be a good fit with the 49ers....
The Commanders traded for Carson Wentz at something of a confusing price this offseason, bringing the former Eagles quarterback back to the NFC East, as Ron Rivera tries to rekindle his career once again. As it turns out, Wentz wasn’t Plan A for the Commanders. According to ESPN, the Commanders were in position to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo, but a balky shoulder that led to surgery took Washington out of the running for the passer’s services....

If Ubisoft’s Massive’s open-world Star Wars game is going to reach its full potential, there are good reasons why it should look at Red Dead Redemption 2 and Ghost of Tsushima. The two games both boast excellent combat, compelling characters, and impressive open worlds. More importantly, the games specifically created worlds which drew on the films which had a huge influence on the Star Wars movies, especially A New Hope....
Originally, the Steam Deck was to launch this December, just in time to keep everyone happy over the holiday period. Unfortunately, Valve has announced that the Steam Deck will not begin shipping until February 2022, a delay caused by ongoing issues with the global supply chain. Why Is the Steam Deck Delayed? Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global supply chain has been impacted. You may have noticed points when it was harder to buy some things, like toilet paper, bikes, or home tools....
They looked to have found their rhythm, erasing a 21-point deficit thanks to a dominant third quarter against the Mavericks, but the Lakers fell flat again, going down 109-104. It was their third loss in a row at home and they now sit at 27-34 on the season, 3.5 games back of the eighth seed LA Clippers, making it evidently clear that the team is bound for the NBA’s Play-In Tournament at season’s end....
Like Life is Strange 2 beforehand, Life is Strange: True Colors introduces a brand new protagonist. Named Alex Chen, she yields the supernatural ability of empathy. While this is an example of how True Colors is making changes from past entries, one of the most crucial adjustments comes from ditching the numerology of its title. RELATED: Life is Strange Remastered and True Colors Confirmed for Nintendo Switch Life is Strange True Colors is LiS 3 in All But Name Life is Strange: True Colors is the third mainline entry in the game, which, in a way, makes it Life is Strange 3....
Unfortunately, a discourse has sprung up arguing that how and what you read does matter. Literary purists believe that unless you’re reading a paperback book, you’re not reading. So, let’s explore why these rules don’t really matter. Is Listening to Audiobooks Reading? Yes Let’s pull out the big guns right off the bat: physical copies, digital books, and audiobooks are all books. It’s a bit unbelievable that it’s a point that needs to get made, but it seems it does....
It has been a season of change at both White Hart Lane and Anfield. Both clubs removed their veteran managers and chose to put all their faith on young blood by appointing two new and exciting managers in the form of Andre Villas-Boas and Brendan Rodgers. With a sizeable transfer kitty at their disposal, fans and pundits alike were optimistic about both the sides’ chances of bagging a top four finish....
Such an approach has served United well in the past as polishing rough uncut diamonds and turning them into world beaters has resulted in sustained domination and countless titles. After the unsuccessful experiment of adopting a Galactico style approach in the post-Fergie period, this is a welcome and refreshing change in attitude that has reaped rewards over the years. Among the myriad of players linked to United this summer, one name that has cropped up recently is Portuguese midfielder, Bruno Fernandes....
The next day, the secretary of Defense asked McCain to breakfast. “I read your speech,” harrumphed Rumsfeld (that “must have been an enjoyable experience for him,” McCain later joked to me). Then Rummy patiently explained to his fellow Republican why he and his top civilian brass (Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith and the usual crowd of incompetents) would continue to do things the same way. They “believed there was no need for additional troops,” McCain later related....
Many of the people most vulnerable to infection are now vaccinated, thanks largely to the advocacy of the LGBTQ+ community and efforts of sexual health organizations. Still, experts warn that the outbreak isn’t over. And getting new cases down to zero now doesn’t mean the virus won’t rear its head again. Throughout the outbreak, there’s been only one way to test for the virus: a swab of the telltale lesions and bumps associated with the disease....
Barcelona were raided for their second-biggest star and in an instant the PSG ‘project’ became the biggest sporting story in the world. Neymar - already rich beyond his wildest dreams - was made richer still by the mindboggling contract put in front of him by the club’s Qatari owners. Reportedly against the wishes of his father and adviser, Neymar was persuaded to strike out alone and step from the shadow of Lionel Messi....
Link to Heart Disease There is no question that obesity is strongly correlated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, and is considered one of the major risk factors for coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and stroke. However, we also hear voices telling us that the relationship of obesity to cardiac risk is not yet a settled question. The issue is whether obesity itself confers the excess risk, or instead whether the excess risk is related to all the other risk factors that are associated with being overweight....
Regardless of personal opinion, the Overwatch 2 beta has largely been quite successful, surpassing a viewer count of one million for streams of the game. With the sheer number of eyes on the beta, Blizzard has been quick to remedy some of Overwatch 2’s most glaring faults, and has tried to implement fan feedback where possible. The changes made to Junkrat’s trap ability are the perfect example of this....
To start, Sonic Origins will be launching in two different editions, a standard edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition. Some of the differences between the standard and deluxe editions are leaving fans confused. For example, the deluxe edition of Sonic Origins features “Character Animations” both in the game’s main menu and music islands. There are also “Camera Controls” over the many menu islands, additional music tracks from the MegaDrive/Genesis games, and hard missions included with the Digital Deluxe Edition....
