[HTML1] As we sit on the eve of Sony’s PlayStation 4 being sold to the public, and Microsoft prepares to enter the fray with the Xbox One, gamers are forced to ask themselves some serious questions: which console’s exclusive offerings are more tempting? Which hardware seems to hold the most potential, or is most open for developers? And most importantly, how do they cut those friends and family members who disagree with their decision out of their lives completely?...

Split/Second is presented as a reality TV series in which contestants from all over the world come together to race against/explode one another. The various settings for the races are literally the sets for the program. The TV show conceit is carried over to the single player progression through the game, which is broken into twelve “episodes.” Each ends with a “next time on Split/Second” narration and a credit sequence....

“What a lovely evening Arsenal, congratulations. Thanks Mesut Özil and Amine Gulse for your warmth, love and hospitality. See you guys soon in India,” Shah Rukh, himself a sports enthusiast, tweeted along with photographs with Ozil and his fiance, whom he met in London on Sunday. Shah Rukh, the owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, attended one of the Premier League 2018-2019’s important matches at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday night....

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6-xJnrl93M Any fan of Star Wars knows that the architecture and style of every planet’s surface and settlements say much about the people who inhabit them, from the leafy treehouses of the forest moon of Endor to the subterranean abodes of Tatooine moisture farmers. With Coruscant, the capital world of the Galactic Republic, the spiraling towers of stone and glass hold a splendor and majesty in keeping with the figures who inhabit them, shaping the lives of nearly every galactic citizen....

At least we’ll be together," my father said, his voice hoarse yet soft. I didn’t dare look at him. In any case it was pitch dark. But I sensed his anguish, and he surely knew mine. My left leg had just been operated on. It throbbed with pain. Would I be able to walk? We didn’t know how long the trek would last or where it would end. We had been told only that we were being evacuated to Germany’s heartland....

The famed reality TV competition series returned for an all-new flavorful episode on Wednesday night. While all the contestants focused on bringing their best dish to the table, Stephen let his nerves get the best of him. He was disturbed by the fact that his panna cotta wasn’t set. While the flavor of his Cacao Panna Cotta with Blackberry & Gin Sauce and Spicy Hazelnuts was filled with flavor and richness, it was runny and tasted like chocolate milk....

As things stand, Asuka vs. Rhea Ripley and Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair are the only women’s matches at WrestleMania 37. On this week’s Talking Smack, Natalya questioned whether she should knock on Vince McMahon’s door to get the WWE Chairman’s attention. Heyman, who co-hosts the SmackDown post-show with Kayla Braxton, gave Natalya his honest opinion. After clarifying that he loves her like a sister, the former ECW owner told her in no uncertain terms that her attitude must improve....

As the current unified Lightweight World Champion in the IBF, Teofimo Lopez certainly holds a critical say in the boxing world. Like many other professionals in the sport, the Honduran-American wants nothing to do with YouTubers in boxing, and he tweeted out: There appears to be a complete divide on opinion for the subject, with some fans defending the YouTuber boxing trend and others saying it is entirely unwanted by the boxing community....

As of 3.30 p.m. local time (10.30 a.m. ET) Monday, more than 19,000 people have said they’re “going” to a Facebook-organized “Storm Loch Ness, Nessie can’t hide from us all” event. A further 40,000 users have said they’re “interested.” The tongue-in-cheek gathering was inspired by the “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us” event, to which more than 1.9 million people have clicked “attending.” Storm Area 51 is scheduled for September 20 and Storm Loch Ness is set for September 21....

The Canadian began well by taking a 2-0 lead in the opening set, but soon found herself trailing 2-4 and then 3-5. Andreescu did, however, claw her way back to take the set in the tiebreak. The 21-year-old also fought back from a 0-2 deficit in the second set. But at 4-4, she landed awkwardly on her already-injured left toe and needed a medical timeout. By then the Canadian already seemed to be running on fumes, and she couldn’t put up much of a fight once she returned to the court....

You could make a musical out of this story. And it might be better than ““Sunset Boulevard’’ itself. Not that it’s a disaster. Ponderous, yes. Inflated, yes. Lacking the dark comedy and sardonic bite of Billy Wilder’s classic 1950 movie, yes. But if the show were original, you’d have to admire Lloyd Webber and writers Don Black and Christopher Hampton for coming up with a nifty story. Now imagine the fun of a ““Sunset’’ with a sharp book by Larry Gelbart, a jazz-edged score by Cy Coleman, a lean, fast-paced production staged by George C....

This isn’t an official announcement, so take it with a few grains of salt until Bethesda gives their word on the matter. Eurogamer Poland discovered Skyrim: Legendary Edition on the website of Polish gaming retailer Ultima, where it is listed as containing the core game, plus the three pieces of DLC: Dragonborn, Hearthfire and Dawnguard. For a game as successful as Skyrim, an ultimate edition was almost inevitable, and for gamers who haven’t yet explored the latest corner of Tamriel this sounds like a pretty good deal....

The United States international, who signed on free with the newly-promoted Premier League side from Reading over the summer, made his first league start for the club last weekend in a 1-1 draw with Leicester City. Mounie 21/20 to score v Burnley Williams was not in the squad for Huddersfield’s 1-0 League Cup defeat to Crystal Palace on Tuesday and Wagner later confirmed the midfielder had picked up an injury....

Aaron Sorkin, who adapted the story of the founding years of Facebook with a script based on a 2009 book called The Accidental Billionaires, weighed in on the debate that is raging about the influence of political ads in a letter published in The New York Times on Thursday. The letter comes as the 35-year-old billionaire CEO has been forced to defend his website’s choice to not fact-check claims made in political ads....

The England international continues to see his long-term future at White Hart Lane called into question despite committing to a new contract in December 2016. Kane: Pochettino can be ruthless That deal is reported to have made him the highest earner in the club’s history, with the agreement worth more than £100,000-a-week. Kane could, however, earn considerably more were he to move elsewhere, with big-spending Manchester United and Real Madrid among those to have been heavily linked with his services in the not too distant past....

Rafael Nadal was a guest on the El Hormiguero program, where he spoke on a wide range of subjects with host Pablo Motos. The 20-time Grand Slam champion revealed that he has become a lot more conscious over the years about the foods that are good for him and those that are bad. Rafael Nadal went on to say he is trying to change his habit of eating chocolate at night, an endeavor in which his wife occasionally helps too....

While Bundchen doesn’t usually attend away games, she is always at home games. But as rumors continue to swirl that the couple have been having issues, her absence could be a telltale sign that there are still marital issues between the two. A source who spoke to ‘Page Six’ stated that the quarterback’s decision to unretire after just 40 days is not the reasoning for Brady and Bundchen’s marital issues....

There is a little bit of cosplay involved, which is presumably an attempt to link actual players with their in-game character in Soul Calibur 5. Everything after the first 28 seconds is an adrenaline-filled punchfest though, and it’s got plenty of action that should thoroughly satisfy both fighting game fans and aficionados of mammary-based physics. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_s0jAhqrPE I can’t imagine why anyone would need to apply lipstick, wear leather pants, and grab a whip to play a video game, but it may be safe to assume that those same people get a kick out of the “rumble” feature in their controller....

So, while a number of information released about SoulCalibur V lately has been about the new characters and story - as featured in the SoulCalibur V E3 trailer - the game’s director, Daishi Odashima, has decided to talk about some new additions to the gameplay for the new title. While you can probably spot some new mechanics in the latest SoulCalibur trailer, Odashima detailed an especially interesting feature on his Twitter account - something new that has actually appeared in other fighting games many times already....

Scantily staffed and frugally financed, GSC announced last December that, despite their belabored efforts of bringing the ghostly FPS to fruition, they were closing their doors pending a takeover by the Ukrainian government. Fortune changed briefly in January when the team somehow stayed afloat, resolving to carry on with STALKER 2 - but even then, their balance sheets were hanging by a thread. Whether for monetary, quality, or legal reasons - we’re not quite sure - news came out today GSC is closing....
