There was quite a fuss over Diablo 3 earlier this year. From a very shaky release to unexplained waiting periods and even verbal sparring between current and former employees, it looked like the negative press for Diablo 3 would never end, although once the exploits were finally fixed and the vocal naysayers calmed down, everyone eventually moved on. The controversy may have ended, but that didn’t change one of the game’s most fundamental flaws....

In a recent interview at Blizzcon this past weekend, Morhaime gave his thoughts on a variety of topics from Battle.net, upcoming expansions and even his take on the rising controversy surrounding the use of loot boxes. With regards to the practice, he doesn’t believe he sees a problem with earning randomized items from in-game crates, and that whatever the controversy is, Overwatch doesn’t belong in that conversation. When asked specifically about potentially crossing a particular line, Morhaime revealed that it is something the studio monitors and that they’ve worked hard to avoid....

Hawk Newsome, co-founder and chairman of BLM Greater New York, told The New York Times on Saturday that the group will protest against the treatment of Black patrons. The plan to protest comes after new details reportedly reveal that the restaurant hostess said a racial slur to a group of five Black women trying to enter. “Restaurants are using vaccine mandates to enforce their racist beliefs and excluding Black patrons,” Newsome said....

The Leatherbacks have been soundly beaten by Central Castries, Gros Islet Cannon Blasters and Vieux Fort North Raiders in their three games so far. While the Royals also lost their three games against the same three teams, the margins were much smaller in comparison, as evidenced by a net run rate that is closer to 0. Neither team would want to be the first team to lose four games on the trot in the tournament and will go all out to win the game, having sensed blood in the other’s misery....

Because BLU specializes in low-cost phones, don’t expect the F91 to have a lot of power behind it. The F91 comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset, a multiple lens camera, and a Full HD display. It’s powered by a fast-charging 5,000mAh battery and arrives unlocked, so you have your choice of carrier, but with limitations. The MediaTek Dimensity 810 is actually one of the better mid-range chipsets. It has processing speeds of up to 2....

Rick Porcello just didn’t want it to be his fault. Justin Smoak homered and Kevin Pillar hit a two-run double as the Toronto Blue Jays chased the Boston right-hander in a five-run third inning on Friday night, beating the Red Sox 13-7 to snap their 10-game winning streak. Pillar had four of Toronto’s 14 hits and Smoak had three, including another homer in the eighth. They drove in four runs apiece....

82-year-old aerospace pioneer Wally Funk qualified to go into space in 1961 through the “Women in Space” Program, but it was cancelled before she had the chance to fulfil her dream. Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, who was also on the flight, had described Funk as an “honored guest.” 18-year-old student Oliver Daemen, meanwhile, became the first paying customer to fly on board New Shepard, though Blue Origin is yet to reveal how much his seat on New Shepard cost....

In an effort to convince people that blue waffle disease is real, they even went so far as to share a picture of real labia (folds of skin around the vagina) edited to look blue. The internet can be a useful resource for learning facts about your health, but blue waffle disease is a case of purely fake news. Real Sexually Transmitted Infections One of the reasons that the blue waffle disease hoax fooled so many people is that the pranksters claimed it caused symptoms like vaginal lesions, itching, burning, and a smelly discharge....

“The only update right now is we’re continuing to investigate,” Silver told USA Today. “There (are) a lot of people that we want to talk to, and ultimately ensure that we have as complete an understanding as possible as to exactly what happened.” Griffin broke his hand in a fight with Clippers equipment manager Matias Testi last week and is expected to miss four to six weeks. Pictures of his surgically repaired hand surfaced Thursday....

The 81-year-old was suspended in October 2015 and later banned from all football activities for eight years, reduced to six on appeal, over what was deemed to be a “disloyal payment” made in 2011 to Michel Platini, who also lost his post as UEFA president in the wake of an investigation.

Originally released in 2010, StarCraft 2 was expanded with DLC over the years. The expansion DLC includes a Zerg campaign and Protoss campaign to supplement the original Terran campaign. They also introduced a series of balancing measures and new units. After the major DLC and balance patches, the game largely coasted on minor features introduced through a mechanic called War Chests. But it seems these will no longer be regularly introduced....

It’s because of these long development cycles that Blizzard has been labeled a perfectionist, a company willing to scrap several years of work (StarCraft: Ghost anyone?) if a project isn’t turning out as expected. And as we unhappily report, a similar situation is playing out with Blizzard’s yet-to-be-revealed MMO Project Titan. According to GamesBeat, the majority of the Titan team has been reassigned to work on other forthcoming projects — likely Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2 expansions — while the core team starts over....
