The tanks moved out at 2 a.m. Sunday. They roared into downtown Vilnius under cover of a citywide blackout. They plowed into a crowd of hundreds of Lithuanian nationalists outside the state radio and television complex; troops fired tear gas and shot their machine guns into the air. “I saw one man practically sheared in half,” said a volunteer who had rushed to help defend the tower in response to a broadcast appeal by President Vytautas Landsbergis....
The French striker asked off after pulling up on a run and was replaced by Reiss Nelson. The Gunners held a 1-0 lead in the match at the time thanks to a Danny Welbeck goal just before half-time and held on to win the quarter-final tie. Giroud got the start for Arsenal in a well-rotated side, playing through the middle for Arsene Wenger’s team, but pulled up on a run late in the second half and asked off the pitch after going straight to the ground with what appeared to be a hamstring injury....
Initially, many wondered whether the studio was actually a front for another developer, with Hideo Kojima being the prime candidate. Some even questioned whether Abandoned could be a new Silent Hill game due to Kojima’s longstanding connection with the series. Blue Box eventually put out a statement to distance itself from the Kojima links and things ultimately calmed down, although a recent social media post from the developer has once again spun the rumor mill into overdrive....
Lind finished 2014 with an .860 OPS, but only managed to play 96 games as he dealt with back and foot injuries. The presence of 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion and recent claim of 1B Justin Smoak – a cheaper, albeit less effective alternative – made Lind and his $7.5 million salary expendable. “The more we looked at the areas we needed to address on the team and where we were going to deploy our resources, we ultimately decided we weren’t going to move forward with both Adam and (Edwin) Encarnacion at the first base-DH spot,” Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos told reporters after the deal....

Much has been made of the Blue Jays’ alleged competitive advantage because of Canada’s travel restrictions on people who are not vaccinated for COVID-19. While it has mostly been talked about through the lens of players like the Yankees’ Aaron Judge not being able to play road games in Toronto, Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro says that the country’s vaccine requirements have hindered the team more than it might help....
Reaves took a big hit in the second period from Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook, his face sent crashing directly into the glass. Instead of crying uncontrollably and asking for painkillers like many normal humans would, Reaves calmly pulled out his own tooth on the bench because hockey.

Their cost-cutting mindset reportedly could lead to a trade of Blake Snell, the former Cy Young winner who allowed just six runs in 19 innings between the 2020 ALCS and World Series. Snell is under a cheap deal relative to his talent — he’s owed an average of $13 million per year through 2023 — but few salaries are ever safe for members of Tampa Bay’s skeletal franchise. Tampa Bay is “open to the idea” of a deal, according to MLB....
Destructoid caught Frank on the red carpet of the Spike TV Video Game Awards, and very directly asked, “So what is Titan?” Frank replied: Kind of an unfulfilling announcement, right? The confirmation of what’s almost certainly just a codename leaves us asking the exact same question as Destructoid posed initially: What is Titan? Rumors abound, but the most substantial claim that Titan combines Sci-Fi and fantasy elements, incorporates a robust social infrastructure unlike what gamers have seen before, but at its heart is still World of Warcraft 2....
It comes as a shock these days when an established massive company announces that it is working on an entirely new AAA property, and Blizzard’s name makes this instance hold more weight than most.

That came out in 2016 and codified the hero shooter genre, and it has taken until now for Blizzard to decide to tackle another new IP....
Blizzard is standing by the necessity of its punishment for Blitzchung and the two Hearthstone casters who were performing the interview.

No longer will a team require their healer to be vulnerable in close combat, as a new image posted to Overwatch’s official Twitter account, reveals a prototype of a Biotic Rifle, designed by none other than Torbjorn himself, that is designed to be used to heal friendly units while putting some distance between the wielder and the enemy. [HTML1] The image shows the weapon’s blueprints as well as containing comments from Torbjorn and Mercy on the rifle’s design....
According to the US Trademark and Patent Office, Blizzard’s trademark for Overwatch has been suspended due to a conflict. Apparently another company, Innovis Labs Inc., filed a trademark for the same term before Blizzard did and therefore they are entitled to the name. While it’s still unclear what will happen to Blizzard’s Overwatch, chances are the developer will end up changing the name for their forthcoming FPS. Strangely, though, that will make plenty of Blizzard fans happy, as the Overwatch name was deemed pretty generic....

That’s the first thing that comes to mind when you sit down to think about the relatively swift decline of Blake Griffin’s physical capabilities. He’s no more the quick, agile, ferocious dunker that all of us saw through the first five years of his career. At the end of the 2015 season, many believed that Griffin had learned how to control his physical aggressive above-the-rim style of play to a more smarter low-key version....
