Released in May 2021 as an “EA Original”, Knockout City takes the simple schoolyard game of dodgeball and propels it into a modern third-person, competitive arena game. Knockout City, set against a backdrop of a Sci-fi metropolis, is equal parts style and substance. It features some incredibly intuitive yet intricate mechanics, a focus on unique co-op gameplay, and some very responsive controls. So, even with this year’s stacked release schedule, Knockout City proves its worth in a variety of ways....

Just like anyone with a superpower, Alex has to use hers wisely. There are a ton of moral gray areas to explore, too. For example, some big questions are whether reading the emotions of others is an invasion of privacy, or if it is right to take someone’s emotions away from them. Life is Strange: True Colors somewhat explores these issues through the story, but as with any Life is Strange game, most of the decision-making is left up to the player....

As the decibels roared at Anfield for Steven Gerrard’s testimonial against Olympiakos, several fans also got an affirmative as to what should ideally be the team’s first eleven against Stoke in the first week of the Premier League. The game saw Liverpool convincingly beat the Greek side, which made the game more monumental as it was Olympiakos, against whom Liverpool first evinced signs of surmounting a European comeback in the group stages of 2005....

Penn State, Michigan, Wisconsin and. … Don’t tell first-year coach P.J. Fleck that Minnesota is the fourth team on that list. MORE: Questions remain for college football’s unbeaten Fleck said on during Tuesday’s Big Ten teleconference the Gophers didn’t mention their undefeated record once during the bye week leading up to Saturday’s conference opener against Maryland. “Just because we’re 3-0 doesn’t mean we’re playing exceptional football or we got a real exceptional football team,” Fleck said....

Rodriguez drew with Markos on her UFC debut, with the 3 five-minute rounds unable to split the two women.

Watch Marina Rodriguez in action here: After the draw against Randa Markos, Rodriguez went on to beat Jessica Aguilar and Tecia Torres in back-to-back bouts....

The new Warriors of Light appear to be a far cry from the original game’s heroes; the apparent leader, Jack, is dressed like he’s ready to hit the club. But make no mistake, this trio exhibits an undying devotion to the mission of killing Chaos — the final boss of the original Final Fantasy. In fact, Jack is so dedicated to the cause, that he reminds those watching the trailer about it multiple times, just in case the message wasn’t quite clear at first....

Georgia This morning, Biden overtook President Donald Trump’s lead in Georgia with more than 98 percent reporting. At a press briefing Friday morning, elections manager Gabriel Sterling reported that a little over 4,000 ballots are still left to count in the state, with approximately 3,500 of them coming from Democratic Gwinnett County. In Cobb County, another Democratic county, 75 ballots remain—while 444 and 150 ballots remain in Republican-led Floyd County and Cherokee County respectively....

The Spider-Cop suit is another Marvel’s Spider-Man idea that never saw the light of day, possibly due to controversy surrounding real life instances of police brutality. With all the Spider-Cop jokes staying in the game, though, and Spidey having a close relationship with Yuri Watanabe, it is a bit disappointing that this payoff never came. Fortunately, those on PC can access a version of this unreleased attire, patrolling the streets as the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Cop....

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had repeated run-ins with newspapers since October last year, when the couple announced they were suing the Mail on Sunday.

The rover captured the photo in front of a rocky outcrop measuring around 20 feet tall, which the Curiosity team has dubbed “Mont Mercou” after a mountain in France. Curiosity, which has been operating on Mars since 2012, created the selfie with the help of two camera systems that each took several images. These images were later combined. The first camera system is known as the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), which is positioned on the rover’s robotic arm and captured 60 images of the scene on March 26, 2021....

Coming out to the loudest ovation of the fighters who had already taken the stage — including headliners Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic — inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., where UFC 241 will take place Saturday night, Diaz lit up and started smoking a CBD cigarette. Welcome to the Nate Diaz Show.

If there’s a blueprint as to how not to follow up on a World Series victory, the Nationals have successfully crafted it it over the last two seasons. With Juan Soto being shipped out to the Padres at the deadline, Washington’s 2019 parade is turning into a funeral march of epic proportions. Really, Washington’s slide from perennial contender to pretender started before their World Series run, with the departure of former top pick and MVP Bryce Harper....

John Carmack, a leader at headset maker Oculus, reportedly said recently that the company might have found a solution to prevent motion sickness. He suggested that better calculations about the depth of objects in VR could be the key. It’s one of the growing number of methods that developers are exploring to make VR more comfortable. “Some people can experience physical side effects, including headaches, nausea, motion sickness, and eyestrain,” Scott Stachiw, head of immersive learning at Roundtable Learning, a company that creates VR employee training tools, said in an email interview....

It was a stunning move, to say the least. Cespedes had hit in the third spot in Oakland’s order 37 times, in the cleanup spot 21 times and in the fifth spot 40 times. Suddenly, the right-handed power bat with 26 doubles, three triples and 17 home runs was gone. “Obviously, the first day it was unexpected for us,” third baseman Josh Donaldson told Sporting News. “But at the same time, we understand the game and we felt like we had the components to end up making it still a good situation for us....

Any visitor to the pleasure domes of today’s Xanadus quickly discovers that architecture is not all that makes them unique. They lure labor and talent from around the world—Americans and Europeans, Bangladeshis, Thais and Indonesians, “expatriates who may not be able to make their own countries work but who hire themselves out with the promise of making others’ perform: the international brigades of efficiency,” as I wrote in a book called “Expats,” about travels through these lands of fossil fuels and futuristic ambitions on the eve of the 1991 gulf war....

Juul bought the 29-story office building in June to house its then-growing workforce, but management told the Chronicle it may sell anyway considering its ongoing effort “to align the company’s organization and financial resources behind key priorities.” Among those priorities: launching Juul products in international markets while decreasing their widespread use among U.S. children, according to company statements. In the past few months alone, the vaping company parted with key leadership and cut more than fifteen percent of its workforce in a two-pronged effort to win back the trust of federal regulators and save money heading into 2020....

Despite dealing with cramp, the reigning NFL MVP returned to the field late in the fourth quarter. He threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Brown to put the Ravens 42-35 ahead with 1:51 left in the game, before setting up Justin Tucker’s winning field goal with seven seconds left in the fourth quarter after a six-play, 38-yard drive. The AFC North showdown in Cleveland featured nine rushing touchdowns, equaling the joint-most in a single game in NFL history—the previous two instances both occurred in 1922—and the combined 89 points scored made him the third-highest scoring game in Monday Night Football history....
