Or so it seems. Elon Musk said he’d invested $1 billion in Bitcoin and would accept it as payment for his electric cars, sending the cryptocurrency higher. Mark Cuban said he’d take Dogecoin from fans buying team merchandise for his NBA Dallas Mavericks. This despite comments by an analyst at New York investment bank Goldman Sachs that Bitcoin is too volatile to be a medium of exchange or a store of value – and few take Dogecoin, a parody cryptocurrency launched in 2013, seriously....

GM’s charm offensive comes as the insolvent Daewoo Motor Co. appears to be slipping from its grasp. After failing to reach a deal with Daewoo creditors, GM is now preparing to bid for the firm at auction–against a list of rival suitors that could include Ford, Fiat, DaimlerChrysler, Renault and Hyundai, Korea’s largest carmaker. So far, only GM has ruled out taking on a Korean partner, a position that has made it a lighting rod for populist anger....

Alex Tan, from Queensland, Australia, was on a morning walk on Maroochydore Beach on the Sunshine Coast when he came across the bizarre creature. In a video of the discovery, Tan says: “I’ve stumbled across something weird. This is like one of those things you see when people claim they’ve found aliens.” Tan then turns the camera to show the creature, which is lying on the shore. It appears to have human-like hands and a reptile-type skull and tail....

Gameplay in PsyHotel seems to fall somewhere between Garry’s Mod, Hitman, Dead Rising, and Two Point Hospital, if that makes any sense whatsoever. The root of the problem is that the announcement trailer for PsyHotel doesn’t actually show any gameplay, instead, it’s a Garry’s Mod-esque cinematic. PsyHotel’s Steam profile calls its gameplay “unconventional” and “combining elements from several games.” Yet while the genre is said to be a simulation game, no simulation elements are shown in the trailer....

The dragons of Skyrim are one of the most memorable elements of the game. These powerful enemies can be encountered while following the game’s plot, but they can also simply decide to attack the player when they are out exploring the world. Sometimes, this results in gamers having very unexpected encounters with massive flying dragons with chips on their shoulders. RELATED: Skyrim Clip Shows Fugitive Interrupting Dragon Fight Redditor killa_hydro7 shared a short 29-second-long clip that chronicles a bizarre glitch they encountered causing a Blood Dragon to rise mysteriously out of the ground....

Conversely, fans have also come to terms with a much wider list of Black Clover characters who, without a doubt, are incapable of defeating a Paladin. While there are plenty of ways for power and skill to be used, there are simply some mages who don’t have the skills necessary to defeat one of Lucius’ evolved humans. Here are 4 Black Clover characters who can defeat Paladins, and 4 more who never can....

Third-from-bottom Sunderland have six games left to avoid the drop to the Championship (second tier) starting with Saturday’s trip to Norwich City, who sit four points ahead of the Black Cats but having played a game more. “Most of the players will never get a better club than this one… If they moved on, I don’t think even Wahbi Khazri, Lamine Kone and Jan Kirchhoff would step up from Sunderland,” Allardyce told British media....

Joris Lechêne, who educates people on racial bias, created a video on the social media platform in which he explained a passport photo upload failed because the software did not recognize him properly. The London-based model and artist, who is Black, said in the video: “Don’t you love it when you train people to spot racist biases for a living and then it happens to you? “In the process of applying for a British passport, I had to upload a photo, so I followed every guideline to the T and submitted this melanated hotness....

The Double XP event is starting just a few days before the release date of the first-person shooter’s first expansion pack known as Awakening, which will arrive on PlayStation platforms before any others due to Activision’s and Sony’s timed-exclusive DLC deal. As previously reported, February 2’s add-ons will include four new multiplayer maps (Skyjacked, Rise, Splash, and Gauntlet), as well as a fresh scenario for the game’s popular Zombies mode called Der Eisendrache....

As a lot of fans of Treyarch’s release are aware, DooM was one of many groups attempting the achievement, but it was they that came out on top, by having a readily-available roster of rotating players rack up the highest scores in nearly every match during the unofficial run for the title. As it happens, the Black Ops 3 clan used the very same method a couple of months ago in order to hit the Prestige Master rank in just a week....

However, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, given the recent history of the Call of Duty series. The FPS franchise didn’t make the best transition to the current generation of consoles, and since then there have been signs of a scramble to reclaim the enormous popularity it enjoyed at its peak. This has come to a head over the last couple of weeks in response to Activision’s strategy in marketing this year’s Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare....

Set to close out the MCU’s phase four, there’s no denying that the highly anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has undergone a strenuous production. From the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman to Letitia Wright’s set injuries and countless delays, it sure has been an emotional and taxing journey for all of those involved. RELATED: New Black Panther Wakanda Forever Details Unveiled At D23 According to Le Film Francais, due to a French law requiring theatrically-released films to wait 17 months before releasing on a subscription-based streaming platform, Disney is now considering canceling the sequel’s theatrical release in France....

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has so far released two full trailers, with the first one showing the lower part of a Black Panther’s body, whereas the new one showed a slim female figure with Shuri’s distinctive face paint adorning the mask. Nevertheless, even if it makes sense to have Shuri succeed in her brother’s footsteps per the comic book tradition, a far less obvious shot in the teaser gives a glimpse at what is possibly another mystery Black Panther....

The historical absence of Black women on the gubernatorial level is a problematic representational void for the nearly 23 million Black women and girls in the U.S., and the almost exclusively white, overwhelmingly male gubernatorial leadership is detrimental to the country as a whole. State-specific policies and laws that governors sign into being often impact people’s lives more significantly than anything created on the national level. What’s more, governors wield a great deal of power over how national policies get implemented and the strength with which some federal laws are enforced in their states....

Meteorologists forecasted a frigid arctic blast to encompass much of the United States in the days before Christmas, stretching as far south as Texas. The extreme cold, which plunged the Texas panhandle into single digit temperatures that felt like subzero temperatures because of the wind chill, has already started to stress the electric grid. More than 77,000 customers in Texas were without power on Friday morning, according to PowerOutage.us....

Following the release of its most recent expansion, Cataclysm, many people feared that the game could be on its decline with - the simplification of gameplay mechanics splitting the player-base. Despite this, Blizzard has stated that the game isn’t going anywhere. While it may be true that World of Warcraft still has quite a bit of life left in the tank, subscription numbers have started to decline in the past quarter, resting at 11....

BioShock 4’s city needs to be as different from Rapture and Columbia, as those two settings were from one another. However, it should create its dystopian vision from the speculative utopias of different fiction writers and philosophers just like its predecessors. Luckily, this leaves a wide variety of options. Here are just some of the places BioShock 4 could go after Rapture and Columbia. RELATED: BioShock 4: Pros and Cons For Bringing Big Daddy Back...
