For Spurs’ team photo ahead of Sunday’s 3-2 win over Juventus, their starting XI took a leaf out of Wales’ book, lining up in a disjointed, unusual fashion that left a gap in the back row. A Spurs fan posted the photo to Twitter at the time and asked why Ozil was in their team photo, seemingly comparing the German to the void. After a few days enjoying plenty of positive social media attention, the Spurs fan had the tables turned on him by Ozil....
The NFL announced on Monday that P!nk will perform the national anthem ahead of kickoff on February 4 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The singer will make her first Super Bowl appearance, unlike half-time headliner Justin Timberlake, whose last show caused quite a stir. Timberlake previously created a controversy during half-time of the New England Patriots’ 32-29 win over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004 when he exposed Janet Jackson’s breast at the end of the show....
If Semyon Varlamov doesn’t have another Vezina finalist-caliber season (and if young players like Nathan MacKinnon don’t continue rounding out their games), that sort of success is unlikely to continue. Teams that have the puck as little as Colorado are working out of a huge deficit, and are thus bad bets to play well over multiple seasons. P.A. Parenteau, while certainly an imperfect player, was not part of the Avs’ biggest problem....
OK, that, plus he was coming out of the penalty box and hauled in a long pass from Lars Eller. And, he’s a defenseman with top-six-forward skills. The goal was Subban’s second of the night. It proved to be the game-winner as the Canadiens held on for a 3-2 victory over Patrick Roy’s squad.
Many who’ve played it have argued that P.T. is one of the best horror experiences in any storytelling medium across the spectrum of horror, and it’s a shame that those looking to experience it for themselves can’t. It’s been over six years since it officially went offline, and it feels like now is the time for Konami to relist the game and publish it once more for those looking to revisit the most haunted house in all of Silent Hill....
For a study published in the journal Ecology, a team from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and Colombian institutions conducted the first scientific assessment of how these hippos are affecting aquatic ecosystems. “This unique species has a big impact on its ecosystem in its native range in Africa, and we found that it has a similar impact when you import it into an entirely new continent with a completely different environment and cast of characters,” Jonathan Shurin, an author of the study from UCSD’s Division of Biological Sciences, said in a statement....
RELATED: Overwatch 2: Tracer Guide (Tips, Abilities, And More) The good news is that Overwatch 2 has changed into a fast-paced game from Overwatch 1, which means that there is less need for strategic planning and fine-tuning, and more space for those mechanically skilled and risky solo-carry plays. Here’s what beginners will need to know about Overwatch 2 if they have never played the original Overwatch. 8 Start With Mechanically Easy Heroes This first piece of advice is a no-brainer for most people familiar with competitive hero-based games....
One of the major changes coming in Overwatch 2 is a dynamic weather system. During BlizzCon 2021, Blizzard gave two examples of how dynamic weather can impact a match of Overwatch 2. On the Temple of Anubis map, a sandstorm could kick up and worsen as the mission progresses. Then on what appears to be the Hanamura map, players were shown an example of how a blizzard would look in Overwatch 2....
Announced officially at BlizzCon all the way back in 2019, Overwatch 2 was initially described as a full sequel to the original game, with new maps, new gameplay elements, and, most importantly, a full PvE campaign. This mode was set to be a full campaign that progressed Overwatch’s story in a significant way, through co-op missions. On top of the main campaign, Overwatch 2 was also said to have hundreds of additional missions that would be added post-launch that would focus on individual heroes and their own stories....
The original Overwatch awarded players with loot boxes simply for playing the game. Logging in during a seasonal event, gaining a level, or playing the Arcade mode were just a few examples of how they could be earned, and though players could purchase loot boxes for real currency, their sheer abundance made it very redundant to do so. Any duplicate items earned through a loot box would get converted into credits, which players could use to purchase the specific item they wanted at a very generous exchange rate....
While the idea of bringing back a classic Christmas event may be welcome to some players, the available content in this year’s Winter Wonderland feels sorely lacking. Reused game modes, overpriced skins, and very few free rewards aren’t enough to get players interested in what Overwatch 2 has in store this holiday season. And seeing as the Winter Wonderland event is meant to last almost an entire month, this is very worrying....
As a result of Moira’s infamous ability to deal fairly high damage with little required aim, the hero has become something of a meme within the Overwatch 2 fanbase, even before the new game’s launch. The tendency of Moira players not to heal their teammates and attack enemy players instead is an issue that players have faced since the character was first introduced in the first Overwatch, though many consider the influx of new players who are still learning the ropes to be the reason that skillful Moira players are in short supply at the moment....

In a lengthy Reddit post by user Drunken_Queen, many of the problems with Pharah in her current state were outlined. The first point is that Pharah isn’t usually a viable pick in Overwatch unless the team has a Mercy. The Mercy/Pharah combo, often referred to as PharMercy, can be very effective, but Pharah is far less useful without a Mercy there to pocket heal her and buff her damage output....
Zibartas’s Doomfist cosplay is still a work-in-progress, but he has managed to create an incredible gauntlet that includes light effects and movable parts. According to a post on Zibartas’s Facebook page, the Doomfist gauntlet was made using 300 LEDs, five motors, a pressure sensor, and about 300 steel parts, which were all handmade. Zibartas has also put together Doomfist’s spine armor, which was made with 60 LEDs and three motors....
A new thread was started over at the Blizzard Forums in which there’s a single post that reads “la que tiene la información; tiene el poder” – a Spanish phrase which translates to “she who has the information, has the power.” For those who have been following the recent Sombra ARG, you will immediately recognize that phrase from previous teaser material, but this time it has a new surprise – after a few seconds in the that forum post, the whole page will suddenly “glitch” before eventually resolving itself into a new block of code....
There is no given reason for this change of role outside of news that Vlastelica will be moving into a new “entrepreneurial” role instead. This change shouldn’t affect the Overwatch League Grand Finals running from October 8th, 2020 to October 10th, 2020. RELATED: Boston Uprising Overwatch Giveaway Shut Down After Too Many People Claim It Vlastelica originally joined Activision Blizzard in 2016 after previously serving as Fox Sports’ executive vice president of digital....
Set after the fall of Overwatch but prior to the events of the game, the new 12-page “Binary” comic short tells the story of how the friendly robot Bastion first met turret master Torbjorn. Taking place in rural Sweden, the locals spot Bastion roaming the woods and fearing that it will attack at any given moment, Torbjorn is enlisted to help hunt down the omnic. Despite his initial hostility towards Bastion due to his bloody history of building and subsequently going to battle against countless Bastion units during the Omnic Crisis, Torbjorn quickly discovers that the wandering robot is different due to its peaceful nature....
Less than six months ago Blizzard first announced its partnership with LEGO, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Blizzard and LEGO’s first character set. Despite the fans’ anticipation, little was heard from Blizzard up until about a week ago, when the American developer released LEGO mini-trailers, transforming Overwatch’s playable characters into buildable LEGO sets. Available now, fans can build the robotic Tank by purchasing the limited edition Omnic Bastion set exclusively on Blizzard’s store....
Reddit user Red_Shirt_Guy13 posted a video of themselves heading straight towards the enemy spawn room on Watchpoint Gibraltar’s first point, and camping the spawn room by placing Reinhardt’s big tanky body right in front of it. While they were doing this, their team was continuing to push the objective forward. Just as their team captured the objective, Red_Shirt_Guy13 puts down Reinhardt’s ultimate, Earthshatter, knocking down all the enemy heroes trying to get out of the spawn room before following up with a Fire Strike and Reinhardt’s powerful hammer swings....
