The galactic reptile has remained a highly requested addition to Super Smash Bros. ever since the initial reveal trailer for Melee featured the behemoth chasing after Metroid protagonist Samus Aran, and gamers have been longing to see Ridley finally become playable ever since. Despite fan demand, it sounds as if the creator of the Super Smash Bros. franchise, Masahiro Sakurai, doesn’t believe making Samus’ reoccurring rival makes sense. During a recent interview with IGN, Sakurai admitted that he knows full well that fans want to see Ridley secure a playable role in the fighting game, but felt that shrinking the character down and taking away the monster’s ability to fly is a disservice to the character....

By intervening in the Bosnian war without telling America in advance, Russia had already signaled that it, too, would pursue its own policies. And on the day before the announcement of Lysenko’s expulsion, Yeltsin had bluntly declared that Russia had its own national interests to protect-including the welfare of Russian-speakers in other countries-and that he intended to protect them. “We understand that sometimes our interests are not the same as those in the West,” said Sergei Karaganov of Moscow’s Institute of Europe....

What makes the announcement of Silent Hill f so special is the reveal of the key staff working on the title. Konami has enlisted Chinese studio Neobards Entertainment to develop the title, with Luigi’s Mansion and Pikmin producer Motoi Okamoto and Spirit Hunter: Death Mark and NG artist Kera. The biggest surprise, however, was the game’s lead writer, beloved visual novel author Ryukishi07, most famous for his work on Higurashi: When They Cry and Umeniko: When They Cry....

Unlike other Silent Hill games, Silent Hill 4 begins with the playable character Henry Townshend trapped in his apartment. The confinement to a singular domestic space is new for the series and creates a claustrophobic atmosphere. Eventually, a strange hole appears in his apartment that leads Townshend to the town of Silent Hill, and the usual psychological horror that takes place there. The player, as Townshend, can return to Henry’s apartment at different points in the game, establishing it as a safe room....

Ai-Da was built in 2019 and now has an improved robotic arm that allows it to use a regular color palette and brush. Its cameras take a picture of the subject as a reference for painting. But is robot art something humans want? “A hotel corporation that needs to cheaply install thousands of art pieces across its rooms, to add visual flair for its guests, may actually prefer and benefit from AI-generated art if it is easier to procure and costs less,” Rozina Vavetsi, associate professor and department chair of Digital Art and Design at New York Institute of Technology told Lifewire in an email interview....

As people age, rotator cuff tears become increasingly common, even in people who never have symptoms of shoulder pain. Just as hair turns grey and skin wrinkles, as people get older, the rotator cuffs often develop wear and tear. Rotator Cuff Tears The rotator cuff is the group of muscles and tendons that surround the ball-and-socket shoulder joint. Four muscles make up the rotator cuff. Rotator cuff problems range from inflammation and tendonitis to partial tears to full tears of the tendon....

Roger Federer is easing into the season with the low-intensity Hopman Cup, trying to get in top shape without exhausting himself by playing in a tough tournament. Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal fans were happy to see him come back to competitive tennis after a long lay-off.

However, there is still more hockey to be played. Well, one more game anyway. While the official end to the regular season was supposed to be on Friday, April 29, the Jets and Kraken are playing Sunday. The two teams were supposed to meet earlier in April, however the game was rescheduled by the NHL. The playoff picture is set, but these two teams have to get in their 82nd game of the season....

This is the first time a wild-card game will take place on a weekday; typically, there are three games on Saturday and Sunday. However, this year, there will be two games on Saturday, three on Sunday and one on Monday. While this isn’t the first year that a playoff game will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN, it is the first time that these networks will broadcast a game on Monday night....

TikTok is expanding the amount of music available to its users under this agreement, which the social media app says will help content creators use licensed music, and could even lead to more “ambitious experimentation, innovation, and collaboration” in the future. It’s a smart move for both TikTok and UMG, though experts say content creators are the real winners. “This is a good thing for TikTok users,” Adam Chase, president of Music Minds, told Lifewire in an email....

In this guide, we’ll explain all of that, plus give tips on extending your wireless earbuds’ battery life.

Over the last few years, Sony has been gradually bringing its library of modern first-party titles over to the PC via Steam. Beginning with Horizon Zero Dawn, these first-party Sony ports have always been immense successes, topping the Steam sales charts in their first week of release. But for a few reasons, the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection hasn’t been able to achieve the same level of success. RELATED: Uncharted’s PC Release is a Good Sign for Fans...

What is it exactly about Valheim that’s creating such a craze? There’s no doubting that, despite the game being in early access, it’s a very good game with a lot of content, and more polish than the early access tag is used to. But there are plenty of good games that go unnoticed. Valheim has seemingly created a melting pot of ideas and mechanics that have perfectly suited it towards becoming the next big survival game on Twitch....

Intercontinental Champion, United States Champion, Jamaican and New Day member to name but a few. However, one thing that he has never been able to label himself as is a World Champion, which is something that needs to change over the next few years. Having been part of the WWE for well over a decade now, Kofi has certainly put in some serious graft since debuting, but for a long time, he was stuck in midcard mediocrity....

If the word “sliding” digs up memories of that old Nokia phone that expands to reveal a keyboard, think again—LG’s new phone might have a flexible OLED screen that actually gets bigger or smaller as you slide frames in and out on either side. In addition to providing a unique way to expand or retract a screen at a moment’s notice, the design has potential to avoid some of the documented durability issues with folding screens....

If early returns are any indication, the investment looks like a good one. In his Mariners debut, Castillo allowed three runs, five hits and three walks and struck out eight over 6 2/3 innings as Seattle beat the Yankees 7-3 in New York on Wednesday. The outing was better than the numbers. Castillo showed that he’s the ace Seattle needed for its playoff push. The Sporting News looks at Castillo’s start and what it means for the Mariners....

All the Duchess of Sussex’s previous guests have been women, but to close the season she said Prince Harry had encouraged her “to broaden the conversation.” Archetypes was described in a teaser trailer as a show that “dives into the labels that try to hold women back.” Meghan said: “Now, if you’ve been listening to the past eleven episodes, you may have noticed that you haven’t heard many men’s voices....

Howard’s gain was Tennessee’s pain, as the Wolverines’ second-round victory — the first two-game win streak for the team since Feb. 8 and 10 — knocked the SEC Tournament champion from the tournament. In a moment that was perfectly emblematic of March Madness, Howard was seen consoling Volunteers freshman Kennedy Chandler, hugging the distraught player after what could have been the final game of his collegiate career: MORE: Times, channels, scores for Saturday’s Round 2 NCAA Tournament games...

I’ve encountered this disconnect many times in producing, marketing and distributing movies, but perhaps no more clearly than the day that a prominent head of a major Hollywood film company came into Mel Gibson’s office for an early screening of his soon-to-be blockbuster hit movie, The Passion of The Christ. As seven or eight of us gathered around Gibson’s conference table to watch, uncertainty was still in the air—Gibson had no distributor at that point and it was unclear if theaters would be receptive to a violent movie about a 2,000-year-old story told in Aramaic with English subtitles....
