My husband wanted to report it to the police. I was reluctant. I told him that if I took all the racism I experience seriously, I couldn’t operate in the world. But the culprit continued every day for a week. So my husband and I finally called and reported it. The police officer who came to the house looked exhausted, and tried to discourage me from filing a report. “If I file this, the news is going to descend on you,” he explained sadly....

At these rates, the climate change–caused chaos in places like Australia—where wildfires have been taking the lives of millions of animals, displacing thousands of people, evacuating entire communities and destroying billions of dollars-worth of infrastructure—will become commonplace throughout our country, too. The extreme weather drumbeat is quickening. From New York to California, and places in between, we’re seeing the signs of the climate crisis becoming more frequent, more ferocious and more frightening....

Blade & Sorcery is one of many games created specifically for Virtual Reality. The premise is similar to other fantasy games, with players using medieval melee weapons up close, then switching to bows or, uniquely, spells for long-range combat. The range of spells is pretty good too, so there are many options to choose from. RELATED: New Oculus VR Headset May Have Leaked While its regular gameplay is fun enough, Blade and Sorcery has also proved to be excellent for mods, indcluding things like Blade and Sorcery’s lightsaber mods....

In an interview with Yahoo! Sports , Blatt admitted coaching the Cleveland Cavaliers and superstar player LeBron James is a “tough” job. The Cavaliers, expected to be an NBA title contender, have yet find consistency. They ended a six-game losing streak Friday with a 126-121 win over the Los Angeles Clippers but are 21-20 on the season, sixth-best record in the Eastern Conference. Blatt said both he and the players are “out of their comfort zone” but is confident they can turn things around....

Initially believed to be a dislocation, Batum confirmed that he heard a pop when his finger was hurt in the final 14 seconds of their home loss on an inbounds play to Sixers guard Evan Turner. "It just got caught up in his jersey," Batum said. "I didn't really realize it until five or ten seconds after it happened when I shook my hand around." At the time of the injury, Blazers athletic trainer Geoff Clark put his finger back in place, according to the report....

Batum was hurt when he went up for a dunk and took a hard fall after teammate Will Barton challenged the shot, according to CSNNW.com. Batum must cycle through the NBA's concussion protocol before he can return to the team, and will not play in the team's Wednesday preseason game against the Phoenix Suns. This comes after the Blazers learned rookie C.J. McCollum would miss the season with a broken foot, by far the largest blow to the season....

In what can only be described as an uplifting and emotional gesture, Blizzard Entertainment (Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo) have donated $1.1 million to The Make-A-Wish Foundation. The donation was based on fifty percent of the money raised by World of Warcraft players who purchased the in-game pet, The Pandaren Monk, during the months of November-December 2009. On Tuesday, February 16th, Blizzard invited fifteen wish children (who also happen to be gaming enthusiasts) and their families to their World of Warcraft development studio, giving them an inside look at the game is created....

BioShock has never held back with its philosophical and political commentary, so BioShock 4 is unlikely to buck that trend. However, if the next game really does include branching dialogue and a more open, sandbox world as the Cloud Chamber job listings suggest, it could flip one key part of the franchise’s philosophy on its head.

Why you ask? That’s when the public will first get to lay their eyeballs on a “gameplay demonstration video” for BioShock Infinite. Those without Xbox Live will be able to scope the video elsewhere, presumably PlayStation Network, the day after. Irrational Games level designer Shawn Elliot confirmed the news today over his twitter account, but anyone who has been following the ‘10 Things You Should Know About BioShock Infinite’ series of posts over on Irrational’s website was already privy to this information....

Upon release, the game received positive reviews from all sections, including special praise for it’s story, setting and visual art design. It was also rated the third best game in the year 2013. While gamers will be looking forward to the fourth installment of the series, we certainly hope that it attains similar success.

Solas and Varric aren’t alone. There are good reasons to think that Dragon Age 4 could see more characters from previous Dragon Age games return in major roles. Although seeing familiar faces can be fun, this reliance on returning characters could also risk fundamentally undermining the new game’s story and the new player character. If Dragon Age 4 is going to stand on its own two feet, BioWare can’t rely on the player’s relationships with a returning cast of characters....

Bitcoin’s rally got a boost Monday when Elon Musk said Tesla would again accept the crypto as payment for its electric cars if clean energy usage reaches about 50% in the cryptocurrency’s mining operations. However, Musk didn’t say how the energy usage of Bitcoin miners would be monitored. Bitcoin miners solve complex hexadecimal puzzles to earn new Bitcoin. The process is needed to refresh the blockchain, the unbreakable record of the crypto’s transactions....

“Bitcoin’s value will continue to rise and fall depending on what people believe it is worth,” Dr. Marion Laboure said in a research report. “This is sometimes called the ‘Tinkerbell Effect’—a recognized economic term stating that the more people believe in something, the likelier it is to happen,” she said, “based on Peter Pan’s assertion that Tinkerbell exists because children believe she exists.” Bitcoin has risen more than 100% in 2021 and hit a record high of $61,556....

Okay, right, not so big of deal, but nonetheless it appears as if Gears of War 3 will be employing some sort of underwater level. After the sinking of the last city, Jacinto, and the flooding of the Hollow, perhaps the COGs will find their way back to their lost home. Water levels are typically never anything to be proud of, but so long as there is no jumping of sharks maybe Gears 3 will be okay....

Hatton looked in a strong position to win the tournament for a third straight year after back-to-back scores of 66 left him in the lead heading into Sunday’s play at St Andrews. The Englishman - fresh from helping Europe win the Ryder Cup in France - reeled off four successive birdies on his front nine to remain in control, only to suffer a surprising collapse after the turn. He had back-to-back bogeys at the 10th and 11th before dropping further shots at the 15th and 16th, leaving him to sign for a level-par 72 and a share of second place with Ryder Cup team-mate Tommy Fleetwood....

The controversy began yesterday when 50 Cent shared an image taken from CNBC’s Power Lunch program that broke down what Joe Biden’s tax plan would mean for different states. The rate showed a tax rate of 62% for New York, just below the 62.6% estimate for California. The rapper captioned it the photo: “WHAT THE FCK! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT, FCK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya fucking mind....
