At 41, Mayweather is more than twice the age of his Japanese opponent, the 20-year-old known as “Ninja Boy” but will carry a more than 4kg (9lb) weight advantage into the ring. The bout in Saitama, north of Tokyo, will be fought over three rounds of three minutes but there are no judges and no winner will be declared unless there is a knockout. The bout will also not count on the record of either fighter – allowing both men to retain their cherished unbeaten records – and is being promoted as a pure exhibition match....

A few things became clear when Mortal Kombat X was unveiled prior to E3 officially kicking off: first, that the game would indeed be more beautiful than ever, and that it would also be just as brutally violent and graphic as fans have come to expect. When lengthy gameplay revealed two brand new characters, fans knew that this was just the beginning. When we got a chance to play the game, the developers on hand confirmed that this entry will boast more original fighters than any previous, and the ones already shown pack serious potential....

[HTML1] In recent years, fighting game tournaments and eSports events have grown in both popularity and public notoriety. In part, that’s because a video game tournament works just like any other sport, making it easy for casual fans to watch: players qualify for a place in the starting bracket, and then face off against competitors, with wins propelling them into later rounds. Ultimately, the tournament organizers crown a single champion, who walks away with the title and, sometimes, a cash prize....

[HTML1] Where Mortal Kombat 9 was meant to be revitalization for the franchise built around fan-favorite characters, Mortal Kombat X is an evolution. For this 2015 release, developer NetherRealm Studios is trying to make things a family affair, featuring a healthy combination of familiar faces and new fighters on the roster. While past Mortal Kombat fighters have shared some familial bonds, Mortal Kombat X is taking a more direct approach....

The game, which will also be available on the PSN (for $9.99 mind you), puts players in control of RC versions of the rally cars featured in the proper versions of MotorStorm and boasts 8 different vehicles and 16 unique tracks. Even more exciting than this downloadable racer, or Sony’s generous offer for Vita owners, is the game’s support for multiplayer. According to an earlier reveal by Sony, the game is unlocked for both consoles with a single purchase, adding a strong possibility that MotorStorm RC might feature cross console multiplayer....

Former Brazil star Kaka rose to prominence after joining AC Milan in 2003, winning Serie A and the Champions League as well as being named FIFA World Player of the Year in 2007. His standing in the game led to Madrid making Kaka one of their ‘Galacticos’ in 2009, but – despite winning La Liga and Copa del Rey medals under Mourinho – he failed to replicate the same form that made him such a sought-after attraction in Milan....

Ms. Marvel is the latest MCU TV show to launch exclusively on Disney+, but despite overwhelmingly positive critics reviews, the audience score on certain sites doesn’t reflect this. Rotten Tomatoes, the popular online review aggregator, suggests Ms. Marvel has an overall critics review rating of 95 percent while the audience score is a lower but still respectable 87 percent. However, the audience score on IMDb rates the same show at just 6....

“Some of the corruption I mention in this clip is the efforts Fox took to internally damage me for allowing a factual sound bite that didn’t fit the narrative to reach the public ears. I’ll be releasing this information in my bosses’ own words later today,” Hecker wrote in a tweet, which included a video where she spoke with James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas. In the video, Hecker said, “Fox came at my throat for standing up against censorship....

My wife and I will have been married 36 years in early August and we have two sons, who are 30 and 31. They’ve been out of the house for years now but I see or speak to them both regularly. So everything was pretty normal here in the lead up to the pandemic. But I remember picking up on the COVID-19 virus back in January, and saying to my wife and my eldest son that this thing was going to go everywhere—though I never thought the world would shut down over it....

Prior to that, when I was 18, I moved to France and I lived next to a swingers resort. I didn’t really know what it was but I heard about it before and thought that it sounded fun. I didn’t actually explore it until 10 years later, when I was 28. That’s when I had my first swingers experience with three married couples and it changed my life. It was a fun, playful experience and it definitely opened my eyes, allowing me to think about life outside of monogamy....

When she went home to Maryland, a neurologist diagnosed her with “mild cognitive impairment.” My mother and I have always been close, and even though I lived hundreds of miles away in New York City, we spoke every morning. I could follow her decline on a constant basis through these chats. At first, it was nothing major: She’d repeat herself, get lost in the middle of a thought or forget what she’d done the night before....

Finally, as fate would have it, the management of the three-time champions Patna Pirates snapped up services of the youngster for a sum of ₹20.4 lakhs and smiled as they shook hands, sensing the exciting prospect of Manjeet’s addition to the green-and-yellow brigade. Fast forward close to five months later, Manjeet has stamped his authority as one of the best young all-rounders in the league and his skillful raiding has reaped praises from skipper Pardeep Narwal....

The 43-year-old cricketer is currently representing MI Emirates in ILT20. Defying his age, he has made an impressive start to the league. He claimed 3/26 against Sharjah Warriors in Abu Dhabi and followed it up with 2/17 versus the same opponent in Sharjah. His Ronaldo-like celebration has made it to ILT20 as well, winning him more admirers. Opening up about his passionate reaction to claiming a scalp, Tahir revealed:...

The official PC sales counter on the Minecraft website has ticked over the 12 million copies sold point. Just a few months ago, PC sales crossed over 11 million units moved. The additional million copies of the PC version purchased by gamers brings the cross-platform sales total up to 33 million. Not too shabby, huh? The Xbox 360 version of Minecraft helped the title reach that 33 million copies milestone by accounting for at least 8 million sales, according to last month’s totals....

Last year, DICE executive producer Patrick Bach had stated that the game was ’too good to kill’, leading many to believe that the company was simply putting Mirror’s Edge 2 on the virtual sidelines while they focused on Battlefield. Months later, a former Battlefield producer stated that the production of the mystery-ridden title was common knowledge to the Stockholm developer scene. Electronic Arts did respond to inquiries about the listing, but simply stated they have nothing to say for the time being:...

Workers at the warehouse in the Welsh town of Llanelli, U.K., spotted the grey seal pup beside the treadmills on December 11. They tried to rescue him by leading him outside to a nearby river. But days later on December 13, the pup was found in a ditch in the village of Llangennech around four miles away. A train had derailed in the area earlier in the year, and the seal is thought to have entered a chamber filled with oily water at the site before getting in the ditch....

According to the Washington Post, some protesters held up signs that read “Mitch better have my money.” The Post also reported that in over a dozen interviews with Kentuckians, including unemployed residents, struggling business owners and housing and labor rights groups, all have expressed needing more aid from Congress, which McConnell has failed to provide. “We’re seeing huge numbers of people needing help,” Jason Bailey, the executive director of the left-leaning Kentucky Center for Economic Policy, said according to the Post....

Sure, anyone who witnessed the conclusion of Modern Warfare 3 is familiar with the… finality the storyline seemed to end with. But the series has been Infinity Ward’s record-breaking baby ever since its debut in 2007. Sometimes it’s hard to let go. Just look at the brewing dispute over last week’s report of a Modern Warfare 4 leak. It was only a few days ago that Bill Murray, the sorry-not-the-Ghostbusters-Bill-Murray voice actor behind Modern Warfare’s iconic Captain Price, allegedly revealed to ThisIsXbox’s Jason Andrews that he was working with Infinity Ward on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4....

The Korean remake sees a grand robbery and hostage situation unfold at a Korean mint against the fictional backdrop of a soon-to-be-reunified Korean peninsula following the formation of a Joint Economic Area (JEA). Part 2 of the series, which topped Netflix’s global ranking of non-English television series within two days of its release on June 24, will see the Professor character (played by Jitae Yu, known from the Korean film Oldboy) and his gang (each of whom are named after cities as in the original Spanish series) carry on “the ultimate heist” to completion....
