Bayern put the tie out of Schalke’s reach in the first half-hour, with Robert Lewandowski opening the scoring with a cute chipped finish from Franck Ribery’s pass in the third minute at the Allianz Arena. CONFIRMED: Luis Enrique to leave Barcelona Thiago Alcantara headed home Lewandowski’s cross to double Bayern’s lead and the Polish striker hit his 30th goal of the season as Ribery again cut Schalke’s defence apart, while the visitors’ misery was completed when Holger Badstuber was sent off for two bookings against his parent club....

One exciting aspect of the Amnesia series is that Amnesia: The Dark Descent takes place in 1839, while Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs takes place within the same universe in 1899. The same applies to Amnesia: Rebirth, that takes place in 1937; none of the Amnesia games have reoccurring characters or settings. In an interesting turn of events, Amnesia: The Bunker takes place around 20 years before the events of Amnesia: Rebirth, the first time Frictional Games hasn’t chosen a time period for its newest game that comes after the previous entry....

RELATED: Amnesia: The Dark Descent – How To Unlock All Endings The Entrance Hall is the only access route to the Laboratory, but while the easiest way is to circle around to the back of the castle and find the connecting door, the more challenging and favorable path is through the secret passageway inside the clock tower. How To Get Into The Laboratory In Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the laboratory can be accessed via the Entrance Hall, but in order to gain access, the player must have obtained the six Orbs found in the six torture rooms — the Weight room, the Saw room, the Cradle room, the Wheel room, the Iron Maiden room, and the Brazen Bull room — that exist in the Choir and the Transept....

The franchise’s new home on Nintendo’s portable console will give Switch owners an opportunity to dive into one of the best horror experiences of all time, though it isn’t the first console to host the franchise. The Amnesia: Collection was brought to the Xbox One roughly a year ago, with PlayStation users having access to the collection back in 2016. While Nintendo is far from the first console producer to get the three-title package, the fact that gamers can now put on a pair of headphones and play Amnesia during their daily commute is sure to lead to some interesting jump-scare moments that weren’t possible before....

There’s one good update on the way that’ll help instill some more life in Among Us. For a long time, fans have been asking for lobbies bigger than 10 players, and Innersloth is listening. The next big Among Us update will expand the lobby cap to 15 players, making for much busier and likely more chaotic Among Us games. While that should inject a good bit of extra interest in Among Us, it doesn’t seem like enough to actually help the game stay relevant....

Gardner told a congressional panel on Thursday that 94 percent of Amtrak’s workers are fully vaccinated and 96 percent are partially vaccinated. Employees of federal contractors must meet the January 4 deadline to get fully vaccinated, which could pose challenges for the company. Gardner said Amtrak hopes all employees will be fully vaccinated by the deadline, but the loss of workers and hiring freezes during the pandemic means that they will not have enough employees once the mandate takes effect....

The introduction of the Justice for Victims of Hate Crimes Act was announced on January 28. It would make existing laws easier to enforce by changing the requirements for trying an offense as a hate crime. “As a former prosecutor, I’ve seen firsthand the trauma that hate crimes can inflict not only on victims, but also on entire communities. We must stand together to make combating hate-motivated violence a priority,” said Klobuchar in a press release....

The tests, called the International Assessment of Educational Progress (IAEP), were administered by the Educational Testing Service, which also runs the SATs. The first IAEP, in 1988, included only six countries; in this second test, 20 participated. (Notable nonparticipants: Germany, which didn’t want to spend the money it cost each country to administer the test, and Japan, which dropped out when South Korea joined.) Other international tests have been criticized because of the difficulties of comparing students from different cultures....

The squad was made up mainly of Liverpool and Manchester City players, the two teams battling it out for the title. Ederson edged out Alisson in goal, with a back four made up of Trent Alexandrer-Arnold, Aymeric Laporte, Virgil van Dijk, and Andy Robertson. In midfield, that is where the real talking point occurs. Fernandinho and Bernardo Silva are included alongside Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, the only player not from either Manchester City or Liverpool....

The erosion of trust doesn’t result from more liars and plagiarists working in the business or a widespread decline in standards. In fact, it used to be that editors–like doctors–buried their mistakes. “Correction boxes” were rare. Now the competition (not to mention the Weblogs) hammers the media elite regularly, imposing more accountability. So why are big news organizations about as credible as HMOs? First, almost all large institutions in America eventually turn into useful bogeymen; the more powerful they become, the more resented....

“Indian players are doing well. The day is not far off when an Indian will win a major,” said Shubhankar, who got an invite to play at next month’s Majors, at a function organised here by Take Solutions. He also felt golf needs more icons like Cricket, which had Sachin Tendulkar to make it popular and reach the masses. “Golf needs more icons to become more popular. That will inspire us....

COLOMBIAMore Violence It was another senseless Colombian tragedy, only this time it may have international consequences. The bodies of three American human-rights activists, including that of New York’s Terence Freitas, were found last week, the latest victims in the country’s 34-year-old civil war. The group had traveled to Colombia to show solidarity for the native U’wa nation. The killings may deliver a serious blow to the faltering peace process begun by Colombian President Andres Pastrana....

I hope you’re sitting down for this: it’s over, and in my heart, I’ve known it for a while. Let’s get this straight: yes, it is wrong for fans to insult your mother, sister, girlfriend, and neighbour’s pet capybara*. But, lest we forget, it’s not as if you’re a shrinking violet, either. In fact, you seem to have – irony of ironies – acquired a penchant for using the terms ‘BC*’ and ‘M**C’ yourself....

But he did. He had to get a medical waiver, because he was still on chemo for prostate cancer, but Ward Casscells, or “Trip” as he is called, became a lieutenant colonel in the Army Medical Corps at the age of 52. In January 2006 he was told he was going to Iraq. As his July departure date drew near, Casscells became fearful. The war was worsening and the casualty rates were rising....

The mega-event that happens after every four years is one of the most anticipated tournaments in World Cricket. In the 11 editions that have been played so far, India has won the coveted trophy twice, first in 1983 under Kapil Dev and then in 2011 under MS Dhoni. A lot of players have got the chance to play the marquee tournament but there have been a few players who despite having played for India for a long time, haven’t been able to play a single World Cup match....

The eventual South African win (with a leg in the air) by 10 wickets made you feel that the answer to that previous question is that they failed miserably. It was more a failure by the Sri Lankan Captain Tillakaratne Dilshan in his safety first approach, by sending South Africa in to bat after winning the toss, rather than trying to be positive by batting first and trying to keep the pressure on the hosts....

One such analyst is Piers Harding-Rolls, Head of Games Research at IHS Markit, and recently he shared his prediction for what the next generation will place a greater focus on over the current one. He claimed the PS5 and XSX will likely both see their subscription-based services, like PlayStation Now and Xbox Game Pass, become a much more important part of Sony and Microsoft’s platforms. RELATED: This Next-Gen Rumor Has Interesting Implications for PS5, Xbox Series X Launch...

The Colombia star’s future is up in the air as his two-year loan spell at Bayern Munich looks set to end without the German club making the move permanent, while he does not appear to be counted on by those at the Santiago Bernabeu. Liverpool, Manchester United and Juventus have all been linked with a swoop for James, but it seems Napoli will be the first to launch a bid after Ancelotti brought up the possibility of bringing the 27-year-old to Serie A....

The Henry Stickmin series features a comical art style and silly puzzles, and would fit right in within the world of Among Us. What can Henry Stickmin tell us about Among Us? While it’s been confirmed that the new map will be Henry Stickmin themed, a lot of Bromander’s prior game series have already made its way into Among Us. Anyone who has purchased the Stickmin Pet Bundle on Steam has seen a taste of what the Henry Stickmin games have given Among Us....

What is Among Us in VRChat? VRChat is a highly popular freely available game that can be played both with and without VR. It functions as both a social gathering space and a creative outlet, as players can create their own worlds or games and allow other players to join. Fans of Among Us decided to use the flexibility offered in VRChat to recreate The Skeld map in Among Us, complete with tasks, vents, and everything you need to play the game....
