Organizers, under the title Super Happy Fun America, have invited prominent members of America’s far-right movement including former Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos (who is, interestingly, openly gay), libertarian political activist Adam Kokesh and Hal Shurtleff from Camp Constitution. Enrique Tarrio, a member of the all-male “Proud Boys” organization—which has been designated as a hate group—is also due to attend. Police cordoned off the area Saturday morning, and deployed uniformed and undercover officers along the route....

“As internet telephony and mobile computing handle more and more data, they will become more frequent targets of cyber crime,” the researchers said. The concern is that hackers will begin stealthily taking over phones the way they’ve taken over network computers, turning them into virtual ‘bots’ to do their bidding. Because of mobile phones’ increasing computing power – not to mention their always-on nature – the researchers fear they’ll soon become an obvious target....

A shooting in Boulder, Colorado, on Monday left ten people dead, including a police officer. Shootings at three spas in Atlanta, Georgia, last week left eight people dead, among them six women of Asian descent. Each has seen questions raised over gun control laws, giving Biden an opportunity to talk again about his campaign’s plan to “end gun violence.” His aims include increased background checks; requiring these for all gun sales; and a ban on assault weapons....

The grade five and six students fell from a height of about 30 feet after the inflatable was blown into the air at Hillcrest Primary School in Devonport, northwest Tasmania, at around 10 a.m. local time on Thursday. Two of the deceased were girls and two were boys. The children were at an event to mark the end of the year at primary school. In those grades, they would be typically have been aged 10 or 11....

Liverpool beaten in historical comeback Sadio Mane and Divock Origi gave the visitors a 2-0 lead inside 22 minutes and, after a Callum Wilson penalty shortly after half-time offered Bournemouth hope, Emre Can’s stunner quickly restored Liverpool’s two-goal advantage. But Eddie Howe’s side roared back with quickfire Ryan Fraser and Steve Cook goals, before defender Ake struck from close range deep in injury-time to record a memorable victory. “It was an incredible comeback,” Ake told Sky Sports....

It didn’t take long for that to materialize. Less than four minutes into Sunday’s session, Clint Bowyer and Reed Sorenson got together and crashed hard into the wall, tearing up the outside barrier, littering the track with debris and leading to a red flag. Bobby Labonte, J.J. Yeley and Denny Hamlin also were involved in the crash. Chaos reigned from the beginning, with drivers nearly running into each other on pit road while scrambling to get onto the track first and get into a draft....

Day had been knocked out in the 10th round of his super welterweight fight with former Olympian Charles Conwell in Chicago Saturday. It was the final round of a fight in which Day had been knocked down twice previously. His head was seen to “bounce off the canvas” on the last knockdown, and the referee immediately called a halt to the match. Day was rushed to the hospital, suffering a seizure on the way there before slipping into a coma....

While both Garcia (29-0, 17 KOs) and Peterson (33-2-1, 17 KOs) are title-holders in the super lightweight division, Saturday’s bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn will be contested at a catch-weight of 143 and no belt is at stake. Betting value is on the underdog, according to veteran boxing commentator Bob “The Colonel” Sheridan. “Danny Garcia is a young, strong fighter, but how much he’s been tested is a question in my mind,” Sheridan told The Linemakers on Sporting News....

Rescue workers had extracted the boy, whose name was Rayan, from the well, which was 105 foot deep. But the Morocco’s royal palace said in a statement that he had died, Al Arabiya reported. The Saudi Gazette also reported Saturday that an official report from the Moroccan diwan “confirmed young Rayan has passed away.” On Tuesday, Rayan’s father, Khalid Agoram, was searching for his son when he found he had fallen down the well....

Bad news for Borderlands fans arrived not long after as Randy Pitchford, Gearbox Software CEO, took to Twitter to deny rumors of a Borderlands spin-off co-developed by Gearbox Software. This, however, has not killed the hype surrounding the rumors, as the possibility of a Borderlands spin-off was not out-and-out denied by Randy Pitchford, just it being co-developed. Randy Pitchford also revealed on Twitter that Gearbox Software is working on “the big one” and is currently looking to hire staff for this project....

FL4K is the Borderlands 3 Vault Hunter that players were most curious about, as there was little information out there about this pet-having robot. FL4K’s three skill trees are Hunter, Master, and Stalker - each catering to a specific play style. FL4K can equip one of three pets as well, and each tree features augments to one of the three pets. The Hunter tree focuses on the Spiderant, the Master tree revolves around the Skag, and the Stalker tree caters to the Jabber....

Reddit user DelusionPhantom made a post requesting the ability for Vault Hunter Zane to slap his clone on the butt. The argument he makes is that FL4K is able to pet their pets, so Zane should be able to slap his clone’s butt. It’s quite likely that DelusionPhantom is just joking, but their request prompted a response from a Gearbox Software developer regardless.

Both Borderlands 3 events are meant to give players even more loot, specifically legendary loot. Since many people are playing games more than ever, Gearbox Software wanted to ensure that Borderlands 3 felt like their time was rewarded. It also is a nice bonus to get players back into the game if they have spent any time away. RELATED: Everything We Know About Borderlands 3’s Revenge of the Cartels...

Those interested in redeeming the latest Borderlands 3 shift code can do so between now and Monday, February at 10am CST, at which point it will expire. This Borderlands 3 shift code is good for three Golden Keys, so while it’s not quite as great as the 10 Golden Key shift code that released recently, it will still net players plenty of free high-tier loot.

Not only did it show highlights from the first hour of the new storyline, Gearbox’s Head of DLC Production Anthony Nicholson shared info on Borderlands 3’s upcoming Mayhem 2.0 addition. The developers also shared details on other additions coming to the game, and hopefully fans have prepared themselves. RELATED: Borderlands 3: Revenge of the Cartels Event Includes New Mansion Area and More The gameplay highlight reel of Guns, Love, and Tentacles was great, but what fans really want to know is the details of all the new changes coming to Borderlands 3....

Pitchford repeatedly stated that what he was showing was a “technology demonstration” and not a video game, but that didn’t stop observers from noticing that the demo’s graphics and artwork featured Borderlands unique style and looked very much like what one would expect from a next-gen Borderlands title. Pitchford said Gearbox hopes to use Unreal Engine 4 to make Borderlands’ distinctive look appear more natural but also more complex. Apparently, the presentation got a little heavy with industry jargon, with Pitchford talking about “variable line weights” and additional geek-speak, but the main takeaway here is that the tech demo looked really promising....

The Borderlands 3 March 12 update is now live on all platforms, and it makes various adjustments to 13 legendary weapons. The most common change made by the patch is simply an increase to a weapon’s damage, and players will find that Boomer, Hyperfocus XZ41, Linc, Nemesis, Ogre, One Pump Chump, and Roisen’s Thorns are all hitting harder after the hotfix has been applied.

However, while a T for Tina approach worked well for the colorful world of The Wonderlands, it would be detrimental to the mainline Borderlands games. As such, while Borderlands 4 should consider pulling from Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands when it comes to its classes, melee weapons, and the Chaos Chamber, the ESRB rating should remain M for mature. RELATED: Borderlands 4 Should Avoid Fights Like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands’ Dry’l Why an M Rating is Crucial for Borderlands For the most part, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands’ combat feels as strong as ever despite the T rating....

Usually, Borderlands fans will focus on recreating items tied to the series’ iconic Vault Hunters. This makes sense, as players take control of these characters and spend plenty of time in their shoes. However, while artwork of Zer0 and Zane may be very common, this makes it even more special when fans do something different with their projects. A LEGO Loader Bot certainly qualifies as unique, and it helps when its creator does a brilliant job of putting the item together....
