RELATED: Bleach: Most Ruthless Characters While certain characters are clearly bad to the bone, others were once honorable, before assuming nefarious roles, that is. For argument’s sake, the following article will use “villain” to describe anyone who has had beef with Ichigo in the past or present (without adding spoilers of future Bleachevents into the equation). 9 Maki Ichinose: Shinigami Status: Deceased As a (former) member of the 11th Division, Maki Ichinose wasn’t about to stand idle as his Captain, Kenpachi Kiganjo, was being attacked by a fierce and feral fighter seeking to claim his title....

“Kremlin recognition of the so-called ‘Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics’ as ‘independent’ requires a swift and firm response,” Blinken tweeted Monday afternoon. “We will take appropriate steps in coordination with partners.” In a statement, Blinken condemned Putin’s decision and reiterated that the U.S. stands in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. “This decision represents a complete rejection of Russia’s commitments under the Minsk agreements, directly contradicts Russia’s claimed commitment to diplomacy, and is a clear attack on Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Blinken said....

That much needed reasoning was finally provided by Blizzard in a statement issued to Kotaku. Not only will gamers who purchase a digital copy of Diablo 3 not be able to progress through more than a quarter of the game until the rest is finally unlocked for them, they will also be missing out on a key aspect of the Diablo experience: the social backbone of the game. Similar to World of Warcraft, these restrictions were put in place to deter credit card fraud, which in turn helps reduce gold spam and other harmful activities that can have a negative impact on the game experience for everyone....

In short, there is a lot of money involved in the series. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was already making Activision-Blizzard a lot of cash even before Warzone was introduced, and while the COVID-19 pandemic has not lessened player numbers (it may have increased them) it has affected another part of Call of Duty. The Call of Duty League has been losing money due to the pandemic, and several teams are having trouble paying their dues....

[Update: Jay Wilson issues apology.] Just when all the dust surrounding Diablo 3 seems to finally settle back down, another storm inevitably strikes the internet, igniting Blizzard’s community. The biggest, and still unresolved, issue recently has been the lack of end-game content for players who have finished the campaign. Blizzard did take the time to admit that end-game content was sparse, but also to state that players waiting for a reason to return might not be satisfied anytime soon....

Big deal, huh? Well, yes. The raging browser competition may determine the ultimate rulership of the Internet. “Browser share is important to us,” says Microsoft’s Internet general manager Brad Chase. Understatement alert! The company’s main goal these days is integrating the Explorer with its Windows operating system, then getting millions of people to adopt it; this will ensure continued life for Windows as the computing world increasingly becomes Net-oriented. But currently the Netscape Navigator is the king of cyberspace, claiming 70 percent of the market....

Leeching may have disappeared in most parts of the world, but in Russia “hirudotherapy” is seeing a revival. Each week clinics like Karikh’s order thousands of leeches from local farms. By applying them at pressure points, doctors say they can cure anything from glaucoma to infertility. Leech saliva increases blood flow and thus oxygen level in tissues. “Americans use synthetic hirudins, a major component of leech secretions, for thrombosis or tissue repair,” says Dr....

According to Stroman, that’s plenty reason to welcome Price back to Rogers Centre with some of the hostility made famous in the postseason when he returns to Toronto next season as a member of the rival Red Sox. MORE: MLB players who moved teams this winter | Which MLB fanbases are the most miserable? “I think it’d be cool if they booed him,” Stroman told Sportsnet.ca on Wednesday. “He’s on a division rival — you have to boo him....

This is how sad the season has become for Philadelphia — fans save their loudest cheers to rally around the local football team. Jordan Binnington became the latest goalie to stymie the Flyers. He stopped 25 shots for a shutout in his first NHL start to lead the St. Louis Blues past the Flyers 3-0 in a listless game between two of the worst teams in the league. Brayden Schenn, Vladimir Tarasenko and David Perron scored to make it an easy night for Binnington....

Blake Treinen has been ruled out for at least the rest of the regular season, manager Bob Melvin told reporters Wednesday. Chris Bassitt has been moved to the bullpen to make up for the loss. Treinen, 31, was one of MLB’s best closers in 2018 recording 38 saves in 43 opportunities while striking out 100 batters in 80 1/3 innings. But in 2019 he has been derailed by bad performance and injuries....

Inti Creates is dropping Blaster Master Zero 3 onto PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Switch, and for the first time ever, the Epic Games Store. As such, the localization needed to be top notch. As producer and localization lead Matt Papa told Game Rant in a recent interview, this process is one integral to the studio’s design process. He talked about navigating international debates best kinds of pizza (and ramen), translating Japanese meme humor to English, and how localization actually works....

In a video shared to TikTok by user Jennifer Tripucka (@thejennifertrip), foster puppy Nelson can be seen wearing his new halo—a loop of wire attached to a harness—as he makes his way around his home. He seems nervous at first, but it’s not long before the tiny pup is confidently exploring his surroundings, with the halo preventing him from bumping into objects. Since being posted on November 27, the cute clip has received 7....

Why, if racial animosity has diminished, are racial discussions so angry? Why is the “race card” so politically potent? Why, when countless racial barriers have fallen, does racial inequality endure? Why do we still fear-to put it bluntly-that America’s inner cities might, at the slightest instigation, burst into flames? With the fate of affirmative action and other race-based remedies hanging in the balance, American intellectuals are concentrating on race–churning out books and theories in numbers not seen since the 1960s....

In a Q&A session with moderators from the the team-based shooter’s subreddit, Kaplan says that Blizzard “loves” the concept of modding and said that he tries to remind people that “DoTA, League of Legends and DoTA2 would not exist if it weren’t for our openness through people modding [Blizzard’s] stuff.” Dismissing suggestions that Blizzard has a “philosophical opposition” to modding, Kaplan says that the developer is “totally open” to adding mod support for Overwatch....

Regardless of Sigaty’s unfavorable stance towards the Zerg in patch 1.1 there has been minor improvements for them, and in patch 1.2 it should address further issues, but not appease everyone. Sigaty continued on to say that although there will be additional improvements for the Zerg in patch 1.2, the race will not be perfected. As the game is played and more strategies are commonly adopted by top players, StarCraft II developers have found an increase in discussion on their forums over these particular balance issues....
