First off, if the strong PlayStation 4 sales are any indication, it seems as though the vast majority of hardcore gamers have decided to skip the Wii U entirely. The fact that the Wii U wasn’t adopted by all that many gamers puts Nintendo in a good position to pad the NX library with Wii U re-releases. Recent rumors point to Nintendo planning on doing just that with the NX’s early lineup of games....

While it is convenient to demonise and change managers every season, United’s main problem lies in the club’s recruitment process. Manchester United have collectively spent over £770 million on buying new players in the last 5 seasons. In this time United has also broken the British and world transfer records, for Angel Di Maria and Paul Pogba respectively....

In a lengthy Instagram post, the 48-year-old musician shared the “unfortunate and difficult” news with fans but urged that he has no ill feelings towards his band. Parada explained that he is unable to get the vaccine due to previously having Guillain-Barré syndrome and that the music industry is now requiring people to be vaccinated against the virus in order to stage large-scale events again. “Since I am unable to comply with what is increasingly becoming an industry mandate, it has recently been decided that I am unsafe to be around, in the studio, and on tour,” Parada wrote in a multi-slide Instagram post....

Capcom has also seen great success with its remakes of past Resident Evil games, most notably 2019’s Resident Evil 2. While the Resident Evil 3 remake disappointed some fans with cut content and its short length, Capcom still considered it a success, surpassed the original game in terms of sales. Although the first Resident Evil game already received a remake in 2002, Capcom should revisit the Spencer Mansion again in this style....

Saint Peter’s has been the Cinderella story of the 2022 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament, rattling off wins against No. 2 Kentucky and No. 7 Murray State to reach the Sweet 16 in improbable fashion. The Peacocks beat both their first two opponents at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

“There is a northwest swell that is coming in ahead of [Tuesday’s] cold front,” Dalton Behringer, a forecaster with the National Weather Service, told SFGate. In the end the waves on Monday and Tuesday did not reach 19 feet, according to NOAA buoy data, but they did get to around 10 feet, roughly as tall as a UHaul truck. “A number of factors can cause large waves like those forecast for San Francisco this week,” Shane Keating, an ocean fluid dynamicist at UNSW Sydney, in Australia, told Newsweek....

The Skyrim modder community hasn’t made things any easier for dedicated players. Hundreds of mods are designed to create further immersion for a player’s Dragonborn, allowing for advanced customization, deeper connections with NPCs, and extensive quality-of-life improvements to the role-playing game. While The Elder Scrolls 6 is unlikely to be the staple “decade game” that its predecessor has become, there is a good chance that the title will do away with the Dragonborn completely, allowing a new player character to take the stage....

Here, we’ll take a look at why so many Subreddits have recently turned private. Why Are Some Subreddits Going Private?

One: he has reached a World Cup semi-final, the first in 28 years. Two: he has transformed the mentality among the fanbase from apathy and anger to nonplussed enjoyment. Three: he has made Raheem Sterling simultaneously the most criticised of players, and arguably the most important. Southgate’s system relies on his attacking midfielders providing a multitude of elements but, ironically, creating goals seems to have been the least important in Russia....

The Steve Waugh Cricket coaching clinics that are conducted throughout the city of Sydney and the regional areas elevate young cricketers through training and practice. “At one of the first clinics we ran a young coach was showing the kids how to play the reverse sweep and I said ‘mate, do you mind teaching me first? I haven’t played one’ and I ended up playing the reverse sweep and found that I really enjoyed it,” Waugh said about his first brush with the unorthodox shot....

Indian coach Ravi Shastri has already deemed this series win as a bigger achievement than the World Cup victory of 1983.

So let us ask a more straightforward question – was India’s performance in the recently-concluded series the best ever by an Indian Test side Down Under?...

Under the proposal, a fellow three teams will join as founding members with five more clubs being allowed to take part in the competition each year through a yet-to-be-determined qualifying mechanism....

With audiences drawing in over 400 million dollars, it was inevitable that sequels would be made. But like many other franchises before and after The Matrix, the sequels did not measure up to the massive expectations that the original set. It’s one of the few problems with having a wildly successful predecessor: most of the time, whatever comes afterward will only live in its own shadow.
