Chihiro and her friends are no ordinary shoppers; they are about the only dynamic consumers left in the sluggish Japanese economy. Marketers call them “bubble juniors”: the 9- to 14-year-old daughters of Japanese women who spent lavishly as carefree twentysomethings during Japan’s “bubble” years of the 1980s. “They are the potential trendsetters, like college girls in the 1980s and high-school girls in the 1990s,” says Hiroyuki Chiba, brand manager of Penty’s, a popular junior brand known for its provocative look....

That’s not how I’ll remember him in a week or in two years or 10 years from now. I’ll remember his smile and his zest for life and his love for the game of baseball, for his courage in escaping Cuba and his devotion to his family and the way he made everyone he came in contact with leave with a better outlook on life. As we try to somehow wrap our minds around Fernández’s tragic and incomprehensible death, there are lots of folks out there telling stories about baseball’s most engaging personality....

The crowd shrieked at the top of their voices from the first minute. They cheered their team’s counter attacks and jeered at every possession and every chance that Bayern created. Bayern took the lead through Lewandowski twice, both times canceled out by Marco Reus. Paco Alcacer’s winner along with a late Bayern goal ruled offside, gave Borussia Dortmund the victory.

It is with those two ideas in mind that we bring more news regarding Destiny, Bungie’s forthcoming multiplatform, multiplayer-focused title. Specifically, we have new details regarding the game’s seamless multiplayer interactions, on both the cooperative and competitive fronts. While many games use a centralized server with a player limit to support multiplayer experiences, Bungie is going a different direction with Destiny. Instead, the developer is using what they are calling “mesh networking” to populate the game’s various play areas....

Sean Dyche signed the Republic of Ireland international on deadline day from the Canaries, but left one fan extremely disappointed after the club record transfer.

Surprisingly, the Cityzens have already dropped 14 points just 14 matches into the campaign. This is just two points short of the total they dropped last season and if Pep Guardiola is to make it a three-peat in the Premier League, his wards would have to start racking up the points fast. A chance to do that would come against a Burnley side who have been one of the tougher nuts to crack - not good enough to break into the top six but regularly acting as banana peels against the bigger teams....

A fully-fledged Burnout game may not be in the cards, but indie studio Three Fields Entertainment may have the solution.

In its weekly blog update, Bungie addressed growing community questions and feedback about matchmaking more players into Destiny 2: Warmind’s new endgame activity, which takes place in the public zone of Mars.
