The game’s principal designer Geoff Goodman had already teased an upcoming Bastion buff and a desire to make him a bit more self-sufficient and more viable, so it’s not entirely surprising to see that the most notable changes in the latest PTR update are for the gentle-natured defense hero. The update shortens Bastion’s Sentry deploy time by half a second; increases his bullet spread, which is now at a constant maximum rather than increasing with additional firing, by 50%; and boosts his magazine a full 100 bullets....

Fans have been clamoring for a sequel to the raunchy 2005 comedy Wedding Crashers for some time now, and its stars have definitely taken notice. Wilson has reportedly already signed on to film a continuation along with co-stars Vaughn, Now You See Me’s Isla Fisher, and Doctor Strange’s Rachel McAdams, but things might not be as clear-cut as they sound. Despite rumors that production is set to begin this year, Wilson seems to have some other indications about the whole thing....

Ozil retired from internationals following Germany’s shock World Cup group-stage exit – the playmaker growing tired of what he felt was racist treatment on behalf of the German Football Federation (DFB), supporters and even some politicians after his meeting with controversial Turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The 29-year-old Arsenal midfielder, who is of Turkish heritage, was scathing of the DFB and its president Reinhard Grindel in a lengthy statement released last month....

Disney Universe is reminiscent of the successful series of LEGO games, yet instead of focusing on one piece of source material at a time, Disney has decided to include everybody together in one world. The game allows players to dress up as a variety of different personalities and play through missions cooperatively with up to four players. All characters will control the same way regardless of costume choice, but weapons may vary between characters....

Overwatch 2 released its season 2 content patch on December 6, 2022, introducing players to the newest tank hero, Ramattra, paired with an all-new map, Shambali, as well as a host of balance changes. Players are optimistic about the quick pace of fresh content, and Blizzard has capitalized on the momentum by announcing plans for the Overwatch World Cup in 2023. The game’s release in October 2022 was not without its issues, with players facing DDoS attacks and technical issues resulting in some heroes being disabled for play....

Blizzard has announced that the next Overwatch 2 PvP beta will take place on Tuesday, June 28. This won’t be an open beta, so anyone interested in participating will have to sign up.

Overwatch 2 Season 2 will have its own Battle Pass for players to complete, and that will serve as the primary way to unlock Ramattra as a playable character. Like Support hero Kiriko before him, Ramattra will be available as part of Tier 55 in the Battle Pass for free players. Alternatively, players can choose to buy the premium Battle Pass and unlock access to Ramattra right away. The decision to lock new heroes behind the Battle Pass has continued to prove controversial in the community, but it doesn’t look like Blizzard is changing the practice any time soon....

Despite major issues during the first week after launch, bugs that currently affect Overwatch heroes and maps, and community discontent with cosmetic shop prices, Blizzard has managed to pull 35 million players to the game in its first month. Only ten days after launch, Blizzard announced that Overwatch 2 passed the 25 million player milestone. The free-to-play sequel is now outpacing its predecessor’s 2016 player count, which took 8 months to reach the same mark....

The Ranks in Overwatch 2 come in two flavors: Role Queue and Open Queue. Open Queue functions similarly to the original Overwatch rankings at launch, in that it lets the players queue as any role and receive a universal Rank. By contrast, Role Queue separates the rankings for each individual player into three roles, and the party compositions are restricted to one tank hero, two damage heroes, and two support heroes....

King’s Row is one of seven maps currently available in Overwatch 2’s closed beta and acts as a hybrid that supports both Control and Escort modes. It’s one of Overwatch 2’s returning maps from the original Overwatch, though it’s been updated with new time-of-day lighting changes. However, King’s Row is also a featured level in Overwatch 2’s PvE mode, as previously showcased at BlizzConline. It turns out that PvE map extension is in Overwatch 2’s current beta and can be accessed with a bit of work....

Swift Step is a fun and powerful ability for Kiriko. It allows the player to teleport to an ally, even through walls. Kiriko is able to see all of her teammates’ outlines and by targeting one, she can cast Swift Step to teleport to them instantly. The quickness of the ability is what makes it such a saving grace for Kiriko and her teammates, but used without caution it proves the saying “Out of the frying pan into the fire” accurate....

Oxlade-Chamberlain netted Liverpool’s fifth in a comfortable victory over the beleaguered Welsh club — his first at home for Liverpool. But the former Arsenal midfielder says he expects more of himself and will not rest on the joy of opening his Anfield account. “We got the three points but personally I was quite disappointed with myself today,” he told Sky Sports. “I’m happy I managed to get the goal in the end but I just tried to work hard through the 90 minutes and when the chance came at the end I was happy to put that away....
