Some of the best video game bosses don’t just have recognizable patterns or interesting physical designs. Some of them have a great sense of banter for the player. Bosses that provide the player with banter or even smack talk are brilliant for riling up the player and trying to make them lose their composure. It’s a great way to break the fourth wall without actually breaking it, as the boss is talking to the player’s character....
Bush’s behind-the-scenes assurances may help to quiet a rising chorus of voices inside Israel’s defense community that are calling for unilateral military action against Iran. Olmert, asked by NEWSWEEK after Bush’s departure on Friday whether he felt reassured, replied: “I am very happy.” A source close to the Israeli leader said Bush first briefed Olmert about the intelligence estimate a week before it was published, during talks in Washington that preceded the Annapolis peace conference in November....
Mercedes driver Hamilton, who was aiming to level his personal-best tally of 12 poles in a single season, had dominated FP3 earlier on Saturday at the Yas Marina Circuit. And when the Briton went quickest after Q2 it look like as though he was course to top the timesheets. However, in a qualifying session that regularly saw the track record broken it was Bottas – who still has a slim chance of finishing second in the standings with victory on Sunday – that took top billing with a time of one minute and 36....
A sheriff’s official who spoke on condition of anonymity said that several properties were being investigated and authorities conducted a search warrant over the weekend, but declined to say whether he believed arson was to blame for the blaze. The Marshall Wildfire destroyed nearly 1,000 homes and structures and spurred tens of thousands of people to evacuate their homes in the suburban area between Boulder and Denver. Crews searched two locations for any human remains as two people remained missing in the fire’s aftermath....
The Cherries were three goals down inside 37 minutes at Selhurst Park, where Michy Batshuayi scored twice for Palace before 22-year-old Bournemouth defender Jack Simpson scored an own goal. Jefferson Lerma’s stunning 25-yard strike brought Bournemouth back into the game before Jordon Ibe and Josh King scored either side of Patrick van Aanholt grabbing Palace’s fourth. But Andros Townsend scored 10 minutes from time to make sure Palace held onto 12th spot, while Newcastle United leapfrogged Bournemouth into 13th, leaving Cherries boss Howe to reflect on the impact of injuries on his squad during the second half of the campaign....
The disease only impacts the very outer layer of the skin, and the patches are not typically painful. Many people with Bowen’s disease have no other symptoms. In this article, you’ll learn more about the symptoms of Bowen’s disease, possible complications, and when to see a doctor. Frequent Symptoms The most common symptoms of Bowen’s disease are patches of reddish-brown skin that may be scaly or dry. The slow-growing patches may:...
By mid-2020, I had purchased a rowing machine to take advantage of the extra time I had in light of widespread stay-at-home orders. I would have preferred a treadmill, but I went with a minimal rowing machine that folded up smaller than any decent treadmill would have because of the limited space I had available. I don’t regret the rowing machine, per se, but it turned out not to be the right piece of home gym equipment for me....
“We’re not able to fight Amir Khan because of Ramadan, so we decided to take this fight in the interim,” Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz said in comments published by News Corp media. “We signed it, so yeah, we’re excited about it. But again, my preference was to fight Amir Khan. That didn’t work out. We had this on the table so we decided to take it.” Eight-division world champion Pacquiao agreed to an April fight against Briton Khan in the United Arab Emirates but his promoter Bob Arum said last month it had been postponed after the $38 million offer for the bout failed to materialise....
First things first, of course. Alvarado is no chump. So Marquez, a hero in Mexico, is rightly focusing on his contest at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. "I'm interested in it, of course, but I have to get past Mike Alvarado on Saturday and that's not an easy fight," said Marquez, who is three months shy of 41. "Alvarado is a big, strong guy and he's going to be a challenge for me....
AIBA says “hijabs and full body form-fitting uniforms” have been designed “that do not compromise the competition and therefore the health of the boxers.” Previously, the boxing association objected to the material of hijab head coverings “which was not designed to fit the body and had potential to come off and interfere in the competition.” AIBA says the rule change highlights its “commitment to gender equity and religious tolerance.”...
“Chasing Amy” looks plain, but it takes some big risks. For starters, it’s about a straight white dude–comic-book artist Holden (Ben Affleck)-who falls in love with a lesbian comic-book artist named Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams). Holden’s best friend and partner Banky (Jason Lee) is at first concerned, then jealous and horrified when the bright, wild, sexy Alyssa reciprocates. (Undoubtedly some gay women will be appalled, too.) But “Chasing Amy” is no paean to heterosexuality....

The administration has refused to call the surge in migrants a “crisis” but a record 7,000 unaccompanied minors were transferred to U.S. refugee agency shelters last month, according to Forbes, and the GOP is blaming Biden’s decision to drop Trump-era “zero tolerance” policies. The annual migrant surge represents a political opportunity for Republicans whose opposition to the $1.9 trillion stimulus package was out of step with most Americans, according to polls....
The report—which presented findings of an investigation that was launched in 2019—outlined minimal punishments for the misogynistic, racist and homophobic posts by Border Patrol agents in private groups for them. The largest, “I’m 10-15,” had more than 9,500 members, the report said. One agent who posted an internal video—recorded from a computer screen—showing a migrant falling to his death and wrote “FTP” about a member of Congress, which he explained meant “f*** the p***,” received only a 30-day suspension after it was recommended that he should be removed, the report said....
If a person only paid attention to the big blockbuster franchise games, they could be forgiven for assuming that the majority of popular games are rated M. Game franchises like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto sell incredibly well despite their mature rating. GTA V, the latest in the franchise, is the second best-selling game of all time. In comparison, there is only one R-rated film in the top 50 best-selling films of all time, 2019’s Joker at number 31....

When asked if he was returning to the role, Eddings stated, “No. For the first time, I insisted on getting paid for my performance and all of a sudden they couldn’t afford me.” For those not in the know, Eddings was previously the Vice President of Business Development at Gearbox from 2005-2017. It was during this time that Eddings voiced Claptrap in previous entries, but considering Eddings is no longer employed at the company, he alleges that Gearbox was not willing to pay him for his voice-acting performance in Borderlands 3....
To note, the ability to dupe in BL3 is certainly not something that was intended by the developer. While releasing a patch that eliminates duping is likely to be the extent of Gearbox’s action against the glitch, players should be aware of the fact that use of the Borderlands 3 duping exploit is considered a cheat and could lead to repercussions in the future.

Players who want to get their hands on the One Punch Man gun will want to visit Lectra City. Lectra City is a zone found on Promethea, which is a planet that players visit in Borderlands 3 fairly early on in the game. However, this means that players will need to make some progress in the main quest before they can expect to get the One Pump Chump shotgun....
