Many people are already blaming one play that didn’t even take place on the field. With the Marlins batting in the top of the eighth inning of game six, Luis Castillo hit a ball that looked to be heading foul. As the ball neared the left-field stands, it started slicing gently back toward the field. Cubs left fielder Moises Alou tracked the ball’s flight, moved over to Wrigley’s famous red-brick wall and timed his leap perfectly, only to watch as the ball was deflected by a Cubs fan who was also tracking what he thought would be an awesome souvenir from the game that would send the Cubbies to the World Series....
When hundreds of Hollow converge, a Menos is formed which can then slowly gain power until it reaches the Vasto Lorde state, the Strongest Hollow form. Arrancar are in a class of their own, as these overpowered Hollows have managed to gain Shinigami abilities by using Hougyoku or removing their masks, granting them the beastly Bankai-like transformations known as Resurrección. During his time in Hueco Mundo, Sosuke Aizen collected the top ten Arrancar to form his personal Army of Espada....
Which games will Bale miss for Madrid? Jose Mourinho named the Netherlands international in his starting line-up in central defence alongside Phil Jones for the must-win clash. Blind was brought to Old Trafford from Ajax by Louis van Gaal in the summer of 2014. He has gone on to become a key figure for the Red Devils, playing in a variety of roles due to his versatility. While Van Gaal used Blind in midfield and defence during his time at the club, he has largely been played at centre-back or left-back by Jose Mourinho....
Blizzard’s Community Manager has come forward to explain that while those complaints are valid, extensive end-game content was never in the company’s plans. In short, players shouldn’t expect a solution any time soon. That sentiment is sure to infuriate some of the most passionate Blizzard fans, especially with Diablo 3 having spent so many years in development. Our review noted that the gameplay itself was fairly simplistic, relying on the player’s willingness to find enjoyment in escalating difficulty and, infamously, incredibly irritating difficulty curves....
Branded face masks are nothing new, even in the world of video games. Numerous titles and publishers have used the opportunity to present gamer branded face year to make sure that even if the mask is required, it can at least be used to demonstrate a passion for gaming. With publishers like Square Enix releasing branded face masks earlier in the year, it comes as a surprise that one of the most popular developers ever is hopping on the trend so late....
An engine like that isn’t built in a day and during BlizzCon 2011 this weekend, the developers of the game took a few minutes to show the fans of the game how the long-awaited sequel looked during different stages of development.

As spotted by eagle-eyed fans, Blizzard recently added a few new job listings to its careers page.

One listing is for a Lead Software Engineer “to work on an unannounced project that utilizes a robust first-person engine,” with previous experience working on “first-person or other action-oriented games” being a “plus” for the developer....

The company tried to reverse the payments, but not before some users inadvertently withdrew the Bitcoin funds. The issue seems to have stemmed from a March promotion in which clients would receive bonuses paid in USD stablecoin. It appears that clients had been paid the amount in Bitcoin instead, with some receiving Bitcoin worth more than $20 million. On May 14, BlockFi alerted its clients to the problem when it said on Twitter: “Some clients who participated in the March trading promotion may see an inaccurate bonus payment displayed in their transaction history....
As a brief history, Demon’s Souls kicked off FromSoftware’s “SoulsBorne” franchise back in 2009, but it wasn’t very widely known and didn’t get much traction. After a soft reboot of sorts, Dark Souls came as a spiritual successor to this title, grasping the masses with its fabled difficulty and mysterious world. Since then, Dark Souls fans were treated to two sequels in the forms of Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3, and two spin off games that are essentially brand-new IPs, Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice....
One of those foes is Bloodborne’s Vicar Amelia, who starts as a human woman but transforms into a hulking beast when players face her. Her transformation is shocking, with blood spraying out when she becomes the monster that gamers must challenge. Amelia goes from an ash blonde woman in tattered white robes to a massive lupine-type creature with a wild mane of hair, antlers, and a smile comprised of sharp fangs....
While exploring a Chalice Dungeon in Bloodborne, reachable using the glyph code pa6ssc6u, KolbrotKommander came across the Flaming Undead Giant enemy. Footage of the Flaming Undead Giant was shown at the 2014 PlayStation Experience, but the enemy itself has never been spotted in the game until now, with many assuming that it was scrapped before launch. KolbrotKommander’s discovery was documented by YouTuber Moros Nyx, whose footage of the Flaming Undead Giant can be seen in the video below....
Of course, both methods of healing have their merits, and neither is objectively better than the other. Ultimately, it comes down to player preference, but if Bloodborne wants to set itself apart from Dark Souls and make its own legacy, it will need to double down on this mechanic rather than getting rid of it and opting for an Estus Flask styled approach. Regardless of how fans feel about it, the Blood Vials remain one of the game’s most unique features when compared to other entries in the Soulsborne franchise....
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night initially released in 2019 as a spiritual successor to the Castlevania games from Konami following a successful campaign on Kickstarter. Since then, there have been quite a lot of updates, including one earlier this year that added a Classic Mode to Bloodstained and a crossover with the world of Kingdom Two Crowns. The developers have been responsive to user complaints, such as when resources were shifted to support bringing the Switch’s version up to speed with other platforms, and now ArtPlay has rolled out another large update resolving issues....

Humane Society International, which has 12 million members globally, has called on authorities in cities across Russia to implement sterilization and vaccination programs to protect the welfare of stray dogs like these. Photos of the dogs taken near the Russian city of Dzerzhinsk, 230 miles east of Moscow, emerged online earlier this month, and have since gone viral. The dogs have an ethereal cobalt tinge to their coats, thought to be the result of exposure to copper sulphate at a nearby abandoned chemical plant....
