This term, which was coined by American astrophysicist and popular science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson, refers to the moments in the year when the sun sets in perfect alignment with the Manhattan street grid.

Lionel Messi has been compared to Diego Maradona on several occasions in the past and South American goalkeeping great Chilavert claimed that the Barcelona captain is far better than the Argentine World Cup winner. Lionel Messi is one of the best players in the world at the moment and is arguably the best in the history of the beautiful game.

While the Big N will find some success for the Wii U with those games, it’s the imminent arrival of Mario Kart 8 that has many gamers excited. The game was confirmed by Nintendo to be a 2014 release, but no one was entirely sure just when the title was scheduled to hit retailers. It appears as if Nintendo of Europe knows the game’s release window, as it issued a newsletter claiming that Mario Kart 8 will be launching at some point in April 2014....

The Chicago-based couple both work in industries that have been affected by social distancing guidelines and shelter-at-home orders, especially Ashley, who was managing her family’s bar and grill before coronavirus forced her to close the business’ doors. The uncertainty of the couple’s financial future and that of her employees weighs heavily on Ashley on the upcoming episode of Married at First Sight: Couple’s Cam, and the pressure only continues to mount when Anthony reveals he won’t be bringing home as much as he hoped in the Newsweek exclusive Episode 3 sneak peek (above)....

After hinting that the next dose of Mass Effect 3 DLC would be bringing “all hands on deck” members of the development team released the first teaser images for what they have in store. It appears the ‘decks’ in question will be of the casino sort, not military. Though the biggest questions (and largest supplies of optimism) where Mass Effect’s future are concerned rest with the next game in the franchise - will you play as an alien?...

[Update: Check out the Mass Effect 3: Rebellion trailer!] Yesterday we shared the details for this weekend’s N7 Bounty multiplayer event (Operation Shieldwall), one that’s rather easy, but one that highlights how the online community for Mass Effect 3 has dwindled considerably in the last month or so. In our discussion of the event we expected that it was partially designed to prepare players for the next batch of multiplayer DLC: content that was rumored, then teased by BioWare, then accidentally confirmed by a Sony website....

The Fox cooking show aired its grand finale on Wednesday, but some viewers were already convinced they knew the winner ahead of the episode. Michael Silverstein, Christian Green and Dara Yu were the last chefs standing in the MasterChef final, after judges Aarón Sánchez, Gordon Ramsay and Joe Bastianich whittled down the lineup, originally formed of 20 returning MasterChef contestants from previous seasons. This cast included two former MasterChef Junior contestants who came back to compete as adults, one of which was Yu....

One of the issues with third-person shooters is that they don’t always have tight controls. Rockstar has been guilty of providing some pretty subpar and clunky shooting mechanics in its open world games, like L.A. Noire and Red Dead Redemption. Not so with Max Payne 3. In this video, the first in the “Design and Technology Series,” it appears that Rockstar has created a much better shooting experience. Rightfully so, as the series is almost exclusively focused on that one mechanic, so it can’t just be good....

[HTML1] In our last MechWarrior Online update we spoke about the special custom mech the developers had added to the game as a method to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Since that time, two major updates have significantly altered the PvP gameplay of MWO. The game not only received a new map and important changes to the heat mechanics of mechs that help balance the weapons, but the latest update has increased player counts in matches by 50% and added another new mech....

Today, Medal of Honor executive producer, Greg Goodrich, announced the game would be taking a step to avoid further controversy by dropping the use of the name Taliban in multiplayer. Instead, the team at EA opted for the much safer, and generic, name: Opposing Force. Here’s what Goodrich had to say: If Goodrich’s reasoning is truly the motive behind the change, then I applaud the team for their sensitivity and understanding....

For the weapons of Medal of Honor: Warfighter, not only is publisher EA partnering with major manufactures like LaRue and McMillan to bring us the game’s tactical assortment of guns, but they’ve also taken it one step further - collaborating with SureFire and Trijicon to integrate the cutting edge attachments in use by today’s Tier One operators. As a quick preview for the new gear, EA has released a pair of videos filmed during the Warfighter cover art shoot (Not surprisingly, it’s the skull-capped soldier from the reveal art taking over duties for Dusty’s beard....

In case you didn’t know…. The all-time Argentine top scorer took a “break” from the international football after their shambolic performance in the 2018 Russia World Cup. Although he did not mention any date or time, it was expected that he will return to the squad for the Copa America. However, Messi’s return to the national team wasn’t quite a fruitful one. The Albiceleste captain returned to the national squad just after a little shy of nine months, only to suffer a humiliating 3-1 defeat at the hands of Venezuela in an International friendly....

Since he first arrived at the famed La Masia academy as a 13-year-old, a remarkable skill set has left a lasting impression on all of those fortunate enough to have seen the mercurial talent in action. Pique was among those to emerge through the ranks alongside Messi and has long since given up trying to explain how a unique performer continues to raise the bar year after year. For those around him at Camp Nou, the 30-year-old forward is the finest player to ever lace up a pair of boots, with it impossible to compare him to anything this planet has seen before....

[HTML1] If there was any voice actor controversy to top Kevin Conroy not voicing Batman in Arkham Origins, it would have to be David Hayter not voicing Old Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5. Hayter, along with the likes of Nolan North, Conroy, and Mark Hamil is one of the few voice actors who is inextricably linked with his character. And so, when Hideo Kojima broke the news that Hayter’s services would not be solicited for Metal Gear Solid 5, fans were up in arms....
