Most rock bands cling to their credibility, but U2 has been trying to shake its for some time. Last year Bono began wearing bug-eyed shades and playing the rockstar game for laughs. Now U2 delivers the confounding “Zooropa”: a few great songs and some off-the-cuff studio noodling. “Zooropa” says, “Why ask why?” We know why U2 would toss off a record halfway between here and brilliance: because it can....

Following Peterson’s unexpected resignation, the Arkansas Times made a public records request for documents that might have a connection to the resignation. The university soon provided tape of the UALR women’s soccer game against Chicago State on Aug. 22. During the livestream broadcast that was carried on the school’s website, a conversation in the press box was unintentionally transmitted on air. According to the report, only video is typically transmitted, but a mistake was made and audio of Peterson making lewd comments about a student-athlete’s mother were picked up....

According to Remy, part of the reason why Rainbow Six Patriots was cancelled was due to its focus on being a “story-driven, narrative game.” Instead of making another run-of-the-mill, linear shooter that was commonplace in the market at the time, there was a desire to create something that would have longevity. This resulted in the Rainbow Six Patriots team being gutted in favor of a new team of 25, with only a couple of Patriots developers sticking around for the new vision, and work began on a multiplayer-driven Rainbow Six entry that would eventually become Rainbow Six Siege....

In a bright and bold animated GIF posted to its official Twitter account, Ubisoft confirms that its E3 2018 press conference will be taking place on Monday, June 11 at 1PM PT. The company implores its fans to “save the date” and also teases that “more [details are] to come.” Unfortunately, the GIF doesn’t offer many clues on what Ubisoft fans should expect come June 11, but the company has already confirmed at least one reveal and fans can also make some educated guesses....

What began as a series of allegations and accusations of misconduct from the leadership of Ubisoft in the summer of 2020 has continued through into 2021. After multiple accusations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior, there was a restructuring at Ubisoft that saw several of the accused let go or moved to other positions.

Perhaps the most surprising aspect so far, however, is that it will release as an Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 console exclusive, meaning it will not be available on the Xbox One or PlayStation 4. Considering many are still struggling to get their hands on either console, even seven months after their release, members of studio Ubisoft Massive have justified their decision to make the game specifically for newer hardware....

The conservative firebrand had been widely expected to dominate in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District. FiveThirtyEight’s final forecast predicted that Boebert had a 97-in-100 chance of winning going into Election Day, but her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch proved to be a tough challenger, climbing slightly ahead of her at the beginning of the vote count. In the end, Frisch called Boebert to concede the race on Friday afternoon, despite the fact that the contest was likely headed to a recount under Colorado law....

Boebert, a Colorado Republican who is one of Trump’s closest Congressional allies, is on track to defeat her Democratic challenger Adam Frisch by less than 1 point despite her district’s reliable Republican lead. The midterms saw several Trump-aligned candidates like Boebert underperform expectations even as the GOP retook a slim House majority. In the aftermath of the underwhelming midterms, some Republicans turned on Trump and declined to endorse his presidential bid....

Boebert, a member of the Republican Party who has a reputation for her outspoken and sometimes controversial beliefs, has been a diligent advocate for gun rights amid the ongoing battle for gun control. She even owns her own restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, where the staff is encouraged to carry firearms.

Many have said, and keep saying, LaVar Ball has to stop whatever he’s doing. They can’t stand it anymore. Here’s an opposing view: LaVar should keep doing it. MORE: No refunds on Lonzo Ball shoes How can you not want to see where this goes, how it plays out, how the story ends? Maybe somewhere along the way we’ll find out why we all kept running to him, giving him attention, giving him a platform, while screaming, “Shut up and go away and stop making us watch and listen to you!...

After Politico reported Sunday evening that Trump plans to award Belichick with the medal on Thursday, Massachusetts Representative Jim McGovern called for the coach to reject it. “I would refuse it, if I were Bill Belichick,” McGovern said during an interview with CNN on Monday morning. “This president has made a mockery of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Look at who he has given it to in the last weeks, people like Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan....

The newest champion for League of Legends is Akshan, the Rogue Sentinel. Growing up as a street urchin in a Shuriman village, he always stood up for what’s right. One day, Akshan stood up to the wrong person, and was beaten to death, though he ended up being resurrected by an ancient weapon that belonged to the Sentinels of Light, and the woman who brought him back trained him in the ways of the ancient order....

While this won’t be a first-time meeting, USA’s quarter-final progression is definitely something to cherish for coach John Hackworth and striker Andrew Carleton. “We know England very well. This age group has played them four times so we’re pretty familiar with each other. We’re going to have a tremendous game one way or another. Two teams that have a similar style so we expect to have a really good contest tomorrow” said Hackworth, who also went on to add that this group of U-17 players is the best team he has coached....

A spirited show from the Young Lions saw them overturn Sergio Gomez’s first-half brace (10’, 31’) by putting five goals past a hapless Spanish defence (Brewster 44’, Gibbs-White 58’, Foden 68’, 88’, Guehi 84’). It also served as sweet revenge for the English boys who had been beaten in the Euro U17 final by Spain a few months earlier in Croatia. Both coaches opted to name an unchanged eleven from the semi-finals....

The Bulls announced Thursday that their power forward is cleared to resume full basketball activities after he experienced scary cardiovascular issues in March during the team’s game against the Raptors.

New Delhi, Aug 16 (PTI) The upcoming Asian Games, the world’s biggest multi-sport event after the Olympics, will be Abhishek Verma’s first brush with international shooting, but the thought and the task that awaits do not unnerve the lawyer-cum-marksman.
