To some extent that’s still true today, even though plenty of other multiplayer genres have risen in popularity in its place. Asymmetrical multiplayer games like Dead by Daylight or the upcoming Evil Dead: The Game, as well as social deduction games like Among Us, are just a few new genres that have proven popular beyond their niche genres. That being said, there aren’t too many games out there that have managed to capture a similar gameplay loop as Brotherhood and Revelations’ PvP multiplayer....

You’re a utility infielder batting a lusty.210. Whom do you fear most? Doc deserves more than Clemens, baseball’s highest-paid Neanderthal. They won’t be saying “Ben McWho?” for long. He’s taken his lumps. But, at 23, he’s taken them against Bo, not the Toledo Mudhens. Fork it over, O’s. Mr. Injury’s wearing Royal blue this season. He’s mean. He’s exciting. And, thanks to injuries and hype, he’s royally overrated. Meet major-league baseball’s second highest-paid Neanderthal....

After every calendar year, a popular trend among statisticians and commentators is to analyze the performance of teams and players. This article is one such attempt to look back at the performances of the Australian captain Steven Smith in 2017, in the Test arena. Strong start Smith began the year with a milestone. The third and final Test against Pakistan at Sydney marked his 50th Test appearance. The Aussie skipper stepped into the Test with an impressive average of 60....

(Reuters) - Euro 2016 debutants Albania were given a tough lesson in the realities of big tournaments in their opening match defeat to Switzerland on Saturday. A silly goalkeeping mistake, a first-half sending off and failure to take simple chances cost them the chance to take at least a point from a match in which they more than held their own but eventually lost 1-0. If only Giovanni De Biasi’s team had got the basics right, they could have added to the problems for Switzerland, who came into the tournament on a run of poor results and performances, and given their own vociferous fans even more to shout about....

The report claims that Sony will in fact launch the PlayStation 5 in late 2019 on one condition: the company is able to obtain the necessary amount of monolithic ceramic capacitors to manufacture enough consoles to ship to retailers. Apparently monolithic ceramic capacitors are in short supply right now since they are used in many technologies, and suppliers of the component are struggling to keep up with the demand....

Wedbush Securities’ Michael Pachter had something to say about the subject. Speaking to GamingBolt, Pachter broke down the acquisition and what it means for both Xbox fans and PlayStation fans. Pachter isn’t making any grandiose predictions about Microsoft deciding to continue supporting PlayStation, however. Rather, he simply believes that it might be too late to change launch plans for Bethesda’s next game, Starfield. RELATED: Rumor: Starfield Images Leak Pachter says “it will probably be on both platforms,” referring to both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5....

(and our earlier post Pattaya Kelappu Thala) Amul, with the tag line, ‘The taste of India’ is well known for funny and witty ads featuring the famous ‘Amul girl’. Their advertisements are a tradition in themselves featuring the most-talked about event of the week in India. Amul is an Indian dairy cooperative, and is sometimes even referred to as Anand (!!!)

That same factual integrity characterizes Maclean’s second book, the recently published Young Man and Fire (University of Chicago. $19.95). A painstaking nonfiction account of the events of Aug. 5, 1949, when 13 of 16 U.S. Forest Service smoke jumpers died fighting a Montana forest fire, the book details how “blowup” fires can explode with such speed and heat that brave young men in the best shape cannot hope to outrun them....

What’s wrong with Thomas Muller? Bayern have struggled for consistency under the Italian coach in 2016-17 and have been forced to settle for the runners-up spot in Group D of Europe’s elite club competition, behind Atletico. They are also second in the Bundesliga, three points behind surprise leaders RB Leipzig. And while there was nothing riding on the clash against last season’s beaten finalists at Allianz Arena on Tuesday, Ancelotti was nevertheless relieved to earn a positive result against Diego Simeone’s tough, well-organised visitors....

ACM 17/2 to beat Roma 2-1 Ancelotti was fired by Bayern on Thursday after a disappointing run of results that culminated in a 3-0 Champions League thrashing against Paris Saint-Germain. That left Bayern behind their French rivals in Group B, and in the Bundesliga the reigning champions trail Borussia Dortmund by three points after six games. A league defeat to Hoffenheim and recent draw with Wolfsburg have left them off the pace, and ultimately cost Ancelotti his job – although there were also reports of disharmony in the dressing room....

Do millions of Among Us players turn into millions of dollars? According to a report from PocketGamer published in mid-September, Among Us had generated at least $3.8 million in revenue more than a month ago. At the time, another report stated that over 70% of all Among Us downloads had come from a six week period prior to that date. By now, those numbers have almost certainly changed, but we can still use them to estimate roughly how much money the game has earned....

Not only have the Among Us devs seen a huge boost in their numbers in the past few months, but multiple streamers and even public figures like politicians have taken advantage of the game’s popularity. On October 20, US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez played Among Us with popular streamers to over 400,000 concurrent viewers at its highest moments. Both popular streamers and regular players have discovered new, unofficial ways to change up the game and make it fresh....

I had always associated aliens with Star Trek and thought of them as strange-looking creatures with pointy ears and wriggly eyebrows. I certainly did not think of myself belonging to this particular group, and yet here I was, 5 years old, being classified as one. “I see you have never been to this country before,” the official stated. My parents nodded, anxiously waiting for more questions. Then the immigration officer smiled and said, “Welcome to America....

It can’t come soon enough. Already some 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050, as increasing numbers of seniors reach the age of 85 and older, the tally could swell to as much as 16 million. Researchers are racing to develop drugs that would slow the progression of the disease—but in order for these treatments to be useful, one needs diagnostic tests to determine who can benefit. So how does the possible new testing method work?...

The United States government pledged to replace the entire federal fleet of vehicles with EVs. Ford committed $29 billion toward EV and autonomous vehicle investment through 2025 while GM announced plans to exclusively offer EVs by 2035. America is finally starting to step up to the plate when it comes to the vehicle electrification movement that has already swept many parts of the world. While this wave is promising, the U....

His caution was understandable, and not long after he spoke Protestant gunmen continued the terror, killing at least one Roman Catholic in a drive-by shooting the day after the ceasefire began. Still, nationalists in the Republic of Ireland, Irish-Americans from Boston to San Francisco and a vacationing President Bill Clinton all applauded the IRA’s announcement. The president can claim some credit for the breakthrough with the IRA. His controversial decision to grant a U....
