Well, what’s surprising is I came out quite optimistic and cheerful. It’s because Anthem is actually good. I feared the game won’t have any depth to it and would be a mindless looter-shooter, just like Destiny, but fortunately, it ain’t. There are interesting stories to be found in the world of Anthem. Well, I believe I spent more time exploring Fort Tarsis-Anthem’s version of safe hub then actually doing missions or roaming around in the open world....

Either way, there is no doubt that Juventus are the unprecedented champions of Italy. The players and manager, Antonio Conte, celebrated their victory prior to heading to training for their match against Atalanta. The scenes below are quite incredible. While the players go absolutely mental in celebration, Antonio Conte joins in as well and looks nothing like a 44-yr-old manager, but rather a 20 something player. Watch the video below, originally posted on Juventus’ YouTube channel...

In matchday two of the competition, the top two teams from Group J will go head-to-head in order to consolidate their grip on the top spot. Both Antwerp and Tottenham won their opening fixtures by a margin of 2-1 and 3-0 against Ludogorets and LASK respectively. Both clubs are heading into the continental competition in fine form and are unbeaten in their last seven fixtures, so this matchup between these two in-form sides should make for an interesting and entertaining encounter....

An ocean and a continent away, high above one of Los Angeles’s most expensive neighborhoods, Richard Meier’s severely curvilinear Getty Museum embeds itself in the hillside like a giant coffeemaker become cultural fortress. Specifically, a megadose of old-master art in a city best known for tinsel, Disney and fads. The new Guggenheim and the glorified Getty are the latest, and among the grandest, examples of the hope that art, globally served and magnificently packaged, can rejuvenate not only tourism but the human spirit....

There were 38 different players who hit at least 30 homers in 2016, which is the most since 2001 and fifth-most all time. It’s the only year in the top 13 on that list which doesn’t fall between 1996 and 2008. The number is even wackier when you consider there were only 11 players to hit 30 homers just two years ago, and 14 the year before that. MORE: The worst every-day players of 2016...

The gist of this Anthem mission is for Freelancers to help Matthias find a Shaper relic called the Manifold that will help improve their Javelin in order to take on the Heart of Rage. Presuming players have already acquired the two signets required to open the chamber holding the Manifold, defeated the Three Dominion Valkyrie enemies guarding it, and then discovered that the Manifold’s enshrouded in a blue and impenetrable bubble, we will cut to the chase in order to explain how to solve the puzzle and unlock the item needed to end the mission....

It has been several months since BioWare provided its first in-depth look at Anthem during E3 2018, but since the game’s launch is still more than half a year away much was held back. BioWare fans have anxiously awaited a more thorough unveiling as Anthem gets closer to launch, but few likely expected a surprise live demonstration from the game’s producers. According to Gamble, he’s planning on just grabbing a “random” and hopefully stable build of Anthem to play on....

Davis was surprisingly underwhelming in the Pelicans’ 111-95 loss to the Warriors on the NBA’s opening night, scoring 18 points on just 4-of-20 shooting.MORE: Nine burning questions that will define the West | Pau Gasol’s block on LeBron seals Bulls’ win That night was a far cry from the two-time All-Star’s average of 24 points a game a year ago. By comparison, Kendrick Perkins, a guy who has averaged less than five points a game each of the last three seasons, was a perfect 5 for 5 on the night....

With the rematch quickly approaching, the Watford-born man has stated that he never tried to knock out his opponent in the first clash; his gameplan was to try and outbox the slick southpaw. During an interview with the Mirror, Anthony Joshua spoke about his performance against Usyk in their first encounter, the Brit said: Floyd Mayweather Jr. is regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time for his brilliant defensive skills and ring IQ....

Marshall bet Brown that if he had more total yardage at the end of the season, he wanted Brown’s Rolls-Royce. If Brown was the winner, he would snag Marshall’s Porsche. Guess who’s on the verge of winning? MORE: Week 17 NFL Power Rankings With one game left in the regular season, the Steelers receiver has 1,284 yards, compared with Marshall’s 788. Basically, there is no way Marshall can catch up in the Jets’ game against Buffalo on Sunday....

Brown has been without a team since being released by the New England Patriots in September amid allegations of sexual assault and rape. He was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Oakland Raiders in March after a tumultuous 2018 campaign. However, he never played a down for the Raiders, who granted his release on September 7 following a series of controversies. Brown agreed to join the Patriots later that day....

The threat comes a day after Greene released a nearly 10-minute video in which she stated that Ukrainians are fighting “a war [against Russia] they cannot win.” Her video—posted on Facebook Live hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to the U.S. Congress—also criticized President Joe Biden for “saber-rattling” and “dragging America into World War III” by offering financial and military support to Ukraine. While Greene’s comments echoed those of other conservative pundits, they likely angered the hacker group, since the collective has actively pursued Russian cyber targets since Russia invaded Ukraine....

Rivals fear Microsoft will bundle the Internet portal with the next generation of its Windows operating system, Windows 95, and charge a price lower than what other companies must do in order to survive. “Microsoft can keep undercutting competitors until they die out,” says Richard Shaffer of Technologic Partners in New York, noting the announcement will inevitably raise new questions about Microsoft’s market power. Last week several computer companies asked a federal judge to review the antitrust settlement agreed to by Microsoft and the justice Department in July, on the ground that it does nothing to increase competition....

Still, Wednesday night’s episode of the “Jeopardy!” College Championship offered another football-related whiff that was too funny to pass up. MORE: 15 events to attend other than Super Bowl | Panthers fan makes bad rap video That’s Michael Sieja, obviously of Mississippi State. But unlike previous football mishaps on “Jeopardy!” — like this one — his gaffe isn’t that bad. It’s in his best interest to hazard a guess for the Daily Double clue, even if he doesn’t know the answer....

Players will not have access to their free promo items just by starting up the game. This is because Anthem doesn’t just throw players into the game world with full access to the store and all customization elements. There are several tutorials and missions to play through before that part of the game opens up. Once the player progresses to a certain point, all of that free content can be claimed....

BioWare has thus far not gone too deep into the issue with Anthem, as many gamers are hesitant when the phrase microtransaction comes up and perhaps rightfully so. Microtransactions, when done incorrectly, can be predatory and turn a game into a pariah within its own community. That said, this doesn’t appear to be the case, as the initial price for the purchase of Shards is much lower than other cosmetic-only microtransaction-filled games currently on the market....

In a community post today, BioWare’s Head of Live Services, Chad Robertson, addressed the issues and what they planned to do. “Yesterday was rocky,” said Robertson, who attempted to explain the issues with the demo. He said that real-world play usually leads to “unexpected issues.” Robertson wanted to address the rumor that they weren’t prepared for the sheer amount of players that would log in over the weekend, claiming that they did, and still do, have excess capacity prepared for population increases....

MORE: LeBron James no longer single-best player according to ‘2K’ Davis was also on the cover of “NBA 2K16,” although that was a year in which Stephen Curry and James Harden also had their own covers for the game. It was random as to which player consumers would receive on their purchased copy (an insert was included with the others so they could be switched out, however). It seems unlikely that the cover curse attributed to “NBA 2K” will afflict Davis and the Lakers....
