I don’t know how a Power-5 conference team can go through a whole season and not play anyone, but in Iowa’s case it’s true. “No one” of course is a relative term. Iowa did beat Pitt, Northwestern and Wisconsin, all of which will play in bowl games. The Big Ten schedule allowed the Hawkeyes to miss Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State from the other side of the conference....
[HTML1] Whether or not the Lord of the Rings franchise still carries the weight in gaming that it once did, the developers at Monolith have pitched Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor as a mature, story-driven and mechanically groundbreaking RPG. The newest trailer shows how subtly the two sides of game design are intertwined, with the game’s hero required to turn an entire Orc army to his command in order to release his soul from its cursed state....
As with all of these shows, however, the question of how real Million Dollar Beach House is or is not is a complicated one. The cast are all real brokers working in The Hamptons, for example, but the Nest Seekers International team we see is just a fraction of their employees in real life. As the company’s CEO Eddie Shapiro told Variety: “There were a number in the beginning who ran for the hills after the cameras were involved....
Minari’s IMDb page summarizes its plot simply stating that the film is about a Korean family who emigrate to Arkansas in the U.S. during the 1980s. The trailer is split between English and Korean, showing some of the difficulties that a family coming to America from Korea would likely face, like trying to run a successful farm and assimilate into American culture. Yeun plays the family’s father Jacob. Yeri Han plays his wife Monica, and their child David is played by Alan S....
[HTML1] One of our favorite games of last year and one of our most anticipated of this year sharing something in common it’s not just that they both start with the same letter, are sequels, and feature players wielding big guns. No, Battlefield 3 and Borderlands 2 now also share a connection to the indie megahit, Minecraft. Borderlands 2 finally released yesterday just as Minecraft made expanded its player base to include Kindle Fire users....
City Football Group increased its portfolio to seven clubs after buying a stake in Chinese third-tier side Sichuan Jiuniu FC in February. “We have some interest in some markets and countries where there is a genuine football passion and opportunities, like China, but also India. So there might be other opportunities in Asia,” Soriano was quoted as saying by the BBC. City Football Group recently bought stakes in Chinese third-tier side Sichuan Jiuniu FC in February to increase its portfolio to seven clubs....
Man City put off Mbappe move Goal understands Manchester City have been put off a summer move for the teenage sensation due to Monaco’s reported asking price of €110 million. Sharpe, though, believes that United would not blink twice when it comes to forking out for the 18-year old, who has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford. “The money in football now is so incredible that clubs don’t baulk at any figure,” the former Red Devil exclusively told 888sport....
Mario Sports Mix will release on February 4th in Europe and February 7th in North America. That’s right, Europeans will be enjoying Mario Sports Mix a full three days before their Western brethren. It’s rare that Europe gets anything before the rest of the world, so enjoy your victory while you have it Euros! For those not in “the know”, Mario Sports Mix is a medley of all kinds of different sports available on one disc....
Federer is a fan of French player Gael Monfils, and in what would be a portentous revelation, he described former World No. 1 Martina Hingis as his ideal mixed doubles partner. With the interview taking place prior to the announcement that the two would play together at the Rio Olympics in 2016. Hingis, who has found immense success on the doubles tour since her return to tennis, is the youngest ever champion at Wimbledon, winning the title just shy of her 16th birthday; the two players are regarded as among the best in the sport, with Federer revealing the news in late 2015 via a series of tweets....

The super hero pinball title will be released digitally on XBLA and PSN. The tables will load into Pinball FX 2 on XBLA and be released as a standalone version on the PlayStation Network. You can check out the four new tables in action here: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ufX0PEU0_0 If those characters aren’t cutting it for you then you’ll be happy to learn that Zen Studios is already planning more pinball tables as DLC....
While it is surely disappointing for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 fans to hear that Jill Valentine and Shuma Gorath — the two characters being offered with the upcoming DLC — might be still a ways off from filling out the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 roster, it’s small potatoes amidst a larger tragedy. As discovered by a clever hacker, Jill Valentine is actually coded on the retail discs of MvC, adding credence to the fact that this delay is not in order to give Capcom more time....
The dramatic shift is an understandable one, and should do a great deal to drive the point home: only Commander Shepard can save Earth. We know just how much a challenge Mass Effect 3 will pose, so a massive ego boost could prove useful. We still know very little about ‘Arrival,’ only that Shepard will be getting to the bottom of a potential Reaper discovery on the edge of Council space, and plot twists and catastrophic disasters are sure to arise during the investigation....
Take the Mass Effect series, for example: a game allowing players to choose their own path, their own appearance, and even their own gender. But a franchise as ambitious as BioWare and EA hoped would require a face for the masses, meaning to the world at large (and to those who simply chose the default character settings), series hero Commander Shepard was a dark-haired, Caucasian male. But apparently, that wasn’t the original plan....
“From the time he (Angelo Mathews) captained in the Bangladesh series through to the end of the 2015 World Cup, it was marvellous to see a young man really filling the shoes he was intended to fill,” de Zoysa said. “With Mahela (Jayawardene) not there and once Sangakkara goes, he will have to do it on his own, then we will really see what he is really made of.” He also expressed his disappointment when asked about Sangakkara’s impending retirement from Test Cricket in August....
This news was announced rather unceremoniously through an updated press kit from Warner Bros. As such, Ricci’s role in the movie is currently unknown. But whomever she ends up playing, she’ll be in good company with the likes of Harris, Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Jada Pinkett Smith, among a substantial collection of other top talent. The Matrix 4 may have some pretty big hills to climb, but it certainly seems to have the momentum to pull it off....
A match between The Great One and The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania has been speculated about for a number of years now. But perhaps never to the level it’s at right now, where many members of the WWE Universe believe it’s now or never for the Hollywood star to return to the squared circle. On the latest episode of the Wrestling with Freddie podcast, former WWE creative team member Freddie Prinze Jr....
One of the first things to say about Meet Me in St. Louis in any of its incarnations is that it doesn’t contain a single important line. There are no references to politics, social causes or diseases; and in a year that is suffering from an acute case of important-itis, that is a welcome relief. For two hours, you can, as Judy Garland once sang, forget your troubles. In fact, aside from some nontraditional casting, there is only one line or so that makes this show even current....
WATCH: Ozil nets winner for Arsenal According to Spanish radio station Cadena Cope, Messi was embroiled in a spat with an unnamed City player that began when the teams left the pitch at the Etihad Stadium. Messi is alleged to have shouted, “stupid, come here and show your face, don’t hide,” as his adversary departed into the City dressing room. Man City has dismissed the report as completely untrue....
Barcelona players play a game of rondo before training, and they punish the players who fail to get the ball. Koeman revealed that if the ball went around 20 times, the player in the middle would have to take an extra turn. If they failed three times, they would get hit in the head by their teammates. When Messi was asked if he was punished, the Argentine told Koeman it happened once....
February 21st, 2012 is the date that everyone can now mark on their calendars, as the remake of the PS2 classic will be appearing on store shelves then. Players will take the reins of Snake back in the 60’s during the Cold War, as he crawls through dense jungle terrain, assassinates enemy soldiers, and, well, eats snakes — all of which can be done in glorious 3D. Stealth, as in every Metal Gear Solid game predating Snake Eater 3D will be the difference between life and death for the player, so they’ll have to tread quietly if they plan on making it to the end of this delightful endeavor....
