She is played by Cristin Milioti, star of Fargo and How I Met Your Mother, perhaps best known for her role in Black Mirror episode “USS Callister.” That doorman is Guzmin, portrayed by Laurentiu Possa, who usually takes Russian heavy roles in projects like The Bourne Ultimatum, Killing Eve and Kingsmen: The Golden Circle....

The game that was being played at the JLN Stadium saw the visitors draw first blood from Dipanda Dicka in the fourth minute through a penalty kick. Shillong restored parity with a penalty through Phrangki Buam (45th + 1st).

Mohamed Diab, a screenwriter who led the directing team for the upcoming Disney+ series, said that his country is often inauthentically portrayed on screen but this show offered an opportunity to reflect and celebrate the true Egypt. “As an Egyptian, we always see us depicted or the Middle East depicted in a way that is—we call it orientalism, when you see us as exotic and dehumanized,” Diab told Newsweek and other press....

Nevertheless, that’s exactly the case, at least according to Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon. Boon took to Twitter to publicly thank all those who have been playing Mortal Kombat X for their support of the developer and the game and for “making Mortal Kombat X the biggest launch in MK history.” The launch has been so successful that it’s actually caused issues with the game’s servers. Apparently Boon and the rest of the folks at NetherReam Studios didn’t expect to have so many gamers playing Mortal Kombat X at the same time....

Yes, many fan-favorites have been left off the list, but Mortal Kombat X still features plenty of familiar faces, albeit with some new twists....

Needless to say, I haven’t watched any of the documentaries about the plane that seemingly vanished, including the MH370: Mystery of the Lost Flight documentary that aired in late July. I met Philip in China. We were both American—I was raised in Michigan, he had lived in Texas—but we had moved to Beijing for work. When we met, there was this instant spark between us. He called it a quantum connection....

Minecraft’s latest commercial achievement concerns the game’s recent release on PS3, one of the last platforms that didn’t support the game. However, it wasn’t long before Minecraft for PS3 joined the rest of its brethren by hitting 1 million copies sold in a short amount of time. Mojang confirmed the sales numbers on their official site, and shared their excitement over Minecraft dominating yet another platform. What’s more impressive is that Minecraft for PS3 hit the 1 million mark less than a month after release....

The video explains that the fluffy little animals are still a ‘work in progress,’ but the actual mechanics seem fairly well-polished. It’s obvious that the white wolves love the water, raw meat and bones, and are as dangerous as they are lovable. Aside from embodying all of the cutest characteristics of their canine cousins - wagging tails, inquisitive stares, sitting for a treat - they’re also capable of obeying their master’s commands, taking down a herd of cows with ease....

Starting first as an anti-Call of Duty fan site, and then blossoming into a Battlefield 3 official site redirect, the ModernWarfare3.com URL has been quite the headache for Activision. But, putting words into action, Activision was able to not only have the fake site brought down, but also earned the right to use the URL as they see fit (which we now know is to direct viewers to the official site)....

Anybody who has ever picked up a modern military shooter and tried their hand at online multiplayer knows one thing: campers must never be underestimated. Sure, there are some who may say that camping is ‘a legitimate strategy,’ but those who master kills from a distance can ruin an online experience if left unchecked. The developers in charge of the game’s multiplayer at Sledgehammer have made their feelings on the matter clear, claiming that the new game’s maps have been designed to limit camping....

Chantel finally came clean to her mother on a video call, who was concerned about her daughter taking marriage advice from a woman who was not married. However, Chantel said she was not taking any advice from Pedro’s family. Chantel’s mother could not believe that Chantel flew to the Dominican Republic to meet a woman who threw water at her sister.

The Horror Pack is free for players who purchased Mortal Kombat X’s season pass, and can be bought individually for $7.99. That’s a lot of money for a few cosmetic changes and one new character, but NetherRealm isn’t asking players to blindly shell out their hard-earned dough. For a limited time, NetherRealm is offering players a chance to try out Jason Vorhees free-of-charge, making it easy for them to decide whether or not the masked slasher is worth a purchase....

“What I want to do is put a little cool stutter in it, like, you know, ‘My-my-my-my-my-my Sharona,’” Folds told a crowd Thursday night at a concert on the rooftop of New York City’s Pier 17. “So what we’ll do is, we’ll go: Mah-mah-mah-Moscow Mitch.” MSNBC host Joe Scarborough has taken credit with coining the nickname during a July 26 segment of Morning Joe. “How can ‘Moscow Mitch’ so willingly turn a blind eye not only this year to what his Republican chairman of the Intel Committee is saying, to what Robert Mueller is saying, to what the FBI director is saying, to what the DNI [director of national intelligence] is saying, to what the CIA is saying, to what the United States military intel community is saying,” Scarborough said during the segment....
