When the All-Star Pacers forward appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Monday night, he had to field a barrage of questions about potentially joining the Lakers from franchise fan Kimmel. George did not shoot down the possibility of joining the Lakers, mostly just laughing when he was asked questions about it....
Here’s what Pachter had to say about the upcoming throw-down between the two handhelds: Pachter went on to compare this situation to the Kinect vs. Move battle for next-gen motion supremacy. While that analogy may be accurate, it’s also completely unnecessary. One need not look further than the original round between these two handheld heavyweights to see that at this point, it looks like history is already repeating itself....

Overwatch 2 has been out for over a week, but the launch has not been without some complications and controversies. Since its release, Blizzard has faced DDoS attacks and bugs that have resulted in both Bastion and Torbjorn being temporarily removed from Competitive in Overwatch 2. In addition, some fans are upset with how cosmetics are earned in the free-to-play sequel.

While it remains to be seen if Blizzard makes any alterations to the heroes’ kits, here are three Overwatch characters that could use a rework in Overwatch 2....
In an interview with Eurogamer, Kaplan announced that the system won’t be too similar to the way ranked play was handled in Overwatch’s closed beta, stating that previously, the ranked gameplay was “frustrating because it was unfinished.” Although the system has its upsides, with a monthly reset allowing players to experience the progression through the ranks multiple times, the way ranked was handled also had its flaws. The tiered rankings had players making their way up through the system from Challenger through to Heroic....
Rather than in-game punishments or bans, the simple sending of a message to the guilty Overwatch player can prove an effective punishment, especially when it simply states “Your Team Won Without You.” The perfect passive aggressive message for someone who lets their temper spoil the gaming experience for others. It may also fool them into thinking another player has endorsed them, adding to the trolling. RELATED: Snoop Dogg Rage Quits Madden Game Live on Stream...
As for the reason why Blizzard is making this change, it’s surprisingly simple. Blizzard says that tiers lower than Master already have a good amount of hero diversity in their team compositions. The Hero Pools function simply isn’t necessary to encourage those players to diversify their team compositions. As for why this wasn’t recognized months ago when Overwatch players were so frustrated with Hero Pools, Blizzard doesn’t say. RELATED: Overwatch Could Be Changing 2CP Assault Maps...

That suggestion comes from new voice lines datamined by one Overwatch player. The voice lines are said by the game’s artificial intelligence Athena and reference two existing maps Lijiang Control Center and Chateau Guillard (the new Widowmaker map), as well as a location called Junkertown which doesn’t have a map yet. Located in central Australia, Junkertown is the home base of the Junkers and is where mech battles often take place – D....
Former England striker Michael Owen led calls for an overhaul of the country’s coaching on Monday after another major tournament campaign ended in disappointment. England bowed out of Euro 2012 in Kiev on Sunday with their sixth penalty shoot-out defeat in seven attempts after a one-sided quarter-final against Italy finished 0-0 following extra-time. But unlike previous disappointments, there was universal recognition on Monday that England had got exactly what they deserved from the encounter and that the technically superior Italians were worthy victors....
Icardi captaincy at risk as Inter fans unveil ‘piece of s***’ banner The England international joined Arsenal in 2011, but has yet to nail down a regular starting spot, with over half of his Premier League appearances for the Gunners coming as a substitute. The winger has also endured several spells on the sidelines, with his latest injury forcing him to miss Euro 2016. Arsene Wenger has said this season is an important one for Oxlade-Chamberlain’s development, though the 23-year-old’s last three Arsenal appearances have again come from the bench....
The Twins infielder has been waging a one-man war against sticky-substance users since news of MLB’s strict policing of the stuff came down just over a month ago. He set his sights on Yankees’ ace Gerrit Cole, then most recently drew the ire of White Sox No. 1, Lucas Giolito. Prior to the White Sox-Twins matchup on Tuesday, Donaldson took to the microphone once again to label Giolito a de facto cheater, to which former Sox manager and current TV analyst (and noted loose cannon) Ozzie Guillen responded in a typical Guillen way:...
