Maria Hoff Barcelos moved to Lisbon last month, from Brazil, and claimed her street sees a lot of weird and wonderful goings-on. The 25-year-old shared a clip to her TikTok account, @mariadasnoia, as she filmed out the window of her apartment, giving her an eagle eye view of the street below. “I swear every night there is something absurd happening,” she captioned the video, viewed more than one million times....
Serial winners Bayern Munich currently sit on top and, despite having struggled in the early stages, had opened up a 4-point lead before the enforced break. The likes of Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach, all of whom at some point have been top, still have a chance. The top 4 are pretty much on their own with the Champions League spots with Bayer Leverkusen at 5th looking like a genuine contender....
Football’s hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic has not stopped the England winger being linked with big-money moves to the Premier League, but his immediate focus will be Borussia Dortmund’s bid to unseat long-reigning champions Bayern Munich. In terms of his output, particularly when it comes to goals and assists, he is rivalling Europe’s elite players and compares favourably to Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe in 2019-20. With the help of Opta statistics, we have reviewed some of the most interesting numbers from Sancho’s career to date....
Destiny players discovered that they could back out of a Trials of Osiris match early if they felt outmatched while still maintaining their winning streak, preserving their chance to claim the epic loot that’s available to players who rack up nine wins without losing. Naturally, Bungie doesn’t want players exploiting the game, so in the most recent Destiny update, the developer announced that players who leave matches early may face restrictions....
According to some legal files obtained from the Call of Duty legal proceedings between Activision and West/Zampella it was discovered that the Bungie-Activision deal has the studio set to produce four sci-fi games each codenamed Destiny, the first of which is to come to Xbox 360/720 by next Fall. Both studio and publisher have kept tight lips on the projects, which led fans to believe that Bungie might make an announcement at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, which takes place this June....
Ian Hirschsohn, 78, and Kathy Harvey, 73, were reported missing during a trip to Baja California, northern Mexico, in late August. Their bodies were found days later at the bottom of a well south of the popular coastal town of Ensenada, according to the Baja California state prosecutor’s office. The couple had been stabbed to death. The suspect—identified only as “Emmanuel N,” as is customary in Mexican cases—was arrested on Tuesday, January 26....
But while the snakes have become a hugely successful invasive species in Florida, they are facing several threats in their native range. Where Is the Burmese Python Originally From? Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus), as the name suggests, are native to Southeast Asia, including parts of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia and southern China, according to the Thai National Parks site. These snakes are considered to be semiaquatic and are often found near water or marshy areas, although they can also climb trees....
And so it goes. Just when Americans thought they were headed for easy street, they got slammed by the deepest bear market since the late 1930s. Worse, their rock-star CEOs skimmed off the profits, leaving the little guys holding the bag and the 401(k). Suddenly, their retirement plan feels like a hoax. It’s not. The 401(k) and similar plans have become the new “pension” for 29 million workers–offering them the best way of supplementing their Social Security checks....
It appeared he would get through the Oral-B 500 on Sunday with just minimal damage at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Busch tangled early with Tony Stewart and was mired between 15th and 20th for much of the race. That was until he tagged Martin Truex Jr. with less than two laps remaining. The two traded more paint after the initial contact, with Truex livid at Busch. After the race, Truex parked his car next to Busch’s hauler, got out and yelled at Busch as Busch sat in his car....
Before the media magpies elect Gore, a note of obvious caution: these “rules” are made to be broken and Bush may well rise again. But there’s no question the shape of the race has changed. Coming off a relentlessly positive GOP convention, Bush had hoped to run a high-toned campaign where he got snarky only in reluctant response to desperate attacks from a floundering Gore. Instead, it’s Bush who’s playing catch-up–a contingency he doesn’t seem to have planned for....
Game Rant spoke with Brianna Lei about what it was like to create Butterfly Soup 2, especially after the first installment’s success and the positive discussions it spawned. In fact, many Butterfly Soup fans ended up pointing out that the main characters of this indie game have neurodivergent traits, which Lei didn’t put there intentionally, but they still were able to provide representation and comfort to players. Interview has been edited for brevity and clarity....
This is sad for many reasons. First of all, it goes to show why PC gaming has swiftly fallen into the back burner of developers’ minds. DRM has become a joke within the pirating community, and the companies that put faith in their fans to purchase a game without DRM end up eating the potential profits of a game that is harder to crack. Machinarium (as with their other two releases, Samorost and Samorost 2) is a beautiful game....

Based on supply and demand, Jones is expected to reset the corner market, earning a record $16 million-to-$18 million in annual salary, per NFL Media. That would best what the Dolphins gave Xavien Howard ($75.5 million over five years) in an contract extension last May. Jones, the Cowboys’ first-round pick in 2015, has blossomed into a sound cover man after moving from safety in 2018. He has blended his size (6-1, 200 pounds) and track-star athleticism well to contain receivers....
Electing to bat after winning the toss at the Harare Sports Club, the hosts lost six wickets within a span of just six runs to lose the plot completely against a disciplined Indian bowling line-up. Senior batsman Vusi Sibanda once again got off to a good start scoring 38, while opener Chamu Chibhabha scored 27 as the rest of the batsmen crumbled under pressure. Zimbabwe got off to a patient start as Chibhabha and Sibanda put on 36 runs for the second wicket before Sibanda paired up with Timycen Maruma (17) to raise 34 runs for the third wicket....
However, it seems that Bungie won’t be quieting down anytime soon, as the company recently stated that even with Sony’s imminent acquisition, it will continue to voice its opinion and “stand up for what’s right.” Some fans were concerned that due to Sony’s recent controversy around reproductive rights that Bungie would be unable to speak on political matters following the acquisition. Notably, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan sent an email in which he remarked that employees should respect “differences of opinion....
Chief among the bugs that will not be fixed tomorrow is the Wish Ender damage buff that appeared at the start of Destiny 2: Season of Dawn. Normally, the Wish Ender bow delivers entry and exit damage upon striking a target, but the bug made it so each arrow had multiple exit “wounds.” As a result, Wish Ender delivers far more damage than it was supposed to, although players would argue it made the weapon more useful....
Now that Rumble has rotated out of the weekly Crucible playlist (replaced by Mayhem), Bungie can address player feedback and tweak the mode to meet player expectations. Specifically, Bungie plans to lower the player count to 6 and improve the spawning algorithms, so players don’t find themselves immediately under fire after respawning. In its weekly blog update, Bungie says that the benefit of having a rotating crucible playlist is that it allows the developers to change modes while out of the rotation....
While the piece in Edge mostly focuses on the contents of Rise of Iron — Destiny’s next major expansion, that is — the magazine also covers the fact that the proper sequel to the science fiction shooter was pushed back to 2017, giving some credence to the delay rumor that it was originally scheduled to launch in September of this year. Perhaps even more interesting, though, is that Rise of Iron apparently only came into existence due to the postponement of the forthcoming second entry in the franchise, and somewhat serves as a stopgap between Destiny and Destiny 2....
Those of you who are familiar with the Halo-verse know that Reach is the prequel to Halo 1. Will that in mind, the ending of Reach where Noble 6 delivers Cortana to Captain Keyes was nothing short of fitting. Halo has always been about playing the hero and Noble 6 was definitely the hero in Bungie’s latest. The post-ending gameplay where you (and maybe three of your friends) made the last stand on Reach was incredibly powerful and reflected a mixture of both desperation and courage....
