After one really surprising change and two fairly obvious ones, G2 Esports have more or less fielded a superteam once again. Team EXCEL, on the other hand, has fielded a well-balanced team that offers both stability as well as consistency. As a result, there’s certainly a lot that can happen in this game and the victory could go either way. Besides that, considering that the Splits have been shortened, a win or loss here could have a major impact on how the final standings shape up for the remainder of the season....

“Chris and Roberta Laundrie do not know where Brian is,” Laundrie’s parents said in a Monday statement issued through their lawyer Steven P. Bertolino. “They are concerned about Brian and hope the FBI can locate him.” “The speculation by the public and some in the press that the parents assisted Brian in leaving the family home or in avoiding arrest on a warrant that was issued after Brian had already been missing for several days is just wrong,” the statement continued, Fox News reported....

It is rumored that Note 5 may come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset which was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) some time back. If this is to be, the 64-bit processor Kryo could indeed zoom up Note 5’s rank as a performer. Then again, we also hear that Note 5 will beef up thanks to an Exynos chipset with 4 GB LPDDR4 DRAM support. Experts are of the opinion that the Note 5 could mean big business and currently the buzz around the chipset, seems to be ringing strong....

Mourinho was appointed as the new man in charge of Spurs on Wednesday after Mauricio Pochettino and his assistants were sacked. Former Real Madrid and Manchester United boss Mourinho moved quickly to arrange his backroom team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos and Joao Sacramento both appointed from Lille. There has also been speculation that Mourinho wants sporting director Luis Campos to join him in north London to take up a similar role....

And now, Game 6 awaits them all. A trio of possible series-ending games are on Friday night’s NBA playoff schedule: Cleveland at Indiana, Toronto at Washington and Oklahoma City at Utah. For the Cavaliers and Raptors, the scenario is they advance with a road win or head back home for Game 7 on Sunday. The Thunder don’t have such a safety net; they must win in Salt Lake City, or it’ll be the Jazz going to the second round....

The error pertains to the Game and Watch’s digital clock, which displays the wrong lyrics for a specific song when it’s playing in certain languages. The original Game and Watch system was Nintendo’s first handheld game device, and this version will be releasing with the classic Super Mario Bros. and more features including the digital clock. Unfortunately, the new Game and Watch: Super Mario Bros.’ language error will be present on all systems when it releases....

Thus far, most of the issues that players have taken with the Caldera map are tied to its actual design and gameplay mechanics. Some players dislike the layout due to the amount of verticality, while Dr Disrespect has called the new map “boring.” It does seem far less buggy with Verdansk, though, with players not reporting many game-breaking bugs in the days since release. However, one issue of this kind has now been discovered, and Redditor YoungSafavi captured it on video....

And, a lot of the enjoyment of this survival game comes from players slowly building up their skills, resources, and armory. That said, that are still quite a few, relatively easy, ways to exploit the systems in Valheimto essentially “cheat”, so let’s go over a few of them, so players can know what to look out for in their servers or if they would be fine utilizing these exploits and so on....

Harington, best known for his role as Jon Snow on the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, was confirmed to be the main villain earlier today by narrative director of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Taylor Kurosaki. Kurosaki had this to say about Harington’s role in Infinite Warfare: As some may know, this won’t be Harington’s first video game role. He previously returned to the role of Jon Snow in Telltale’s episodic Game of Thrones series, though his performance in that game garnered mixed reviews, with some critics accusing him of sounding disinterested compared to the other voice actors....

Kicking things off, Nintendo’s February 2022 Direct had a host of announcements for Switch owners to gush over. While many of the new releases and reveals are angled toward JRPG fans, there’s still tons for fans to enjoy packed into the 40-minute show even if they have other tastes. Unfortunately, it didn’t include information about Breath of the Wild 2, as some fans were hoping it would. RELATED: Game Rant Arcade EP....

Natal’s Price This has got to be the biggest omission of the conference. With recent rumors placing the price of the unit at $149.99, E3 was Microsoft’s chance to set the record straight. Instead, they focused on the unit’s control of dashboard functions (which, admittedly, looked pretty neat) and several over-long demonstrations of launch games (which were, at best, underwhelming). Failure to set a price suggests that Microsoft may have less confidence in Kinect than they let on....

In this week’s Banter, our writers will share their take on fathers in games like The Last of Us, classic games like the original Doom and Unreal, or their own experiences being fathers, or just hanging out with their own. Let’s begin. Figurative Fatherhood in The Last of Us (By Brian Sipple) Joel and Ellie might not be the father-daughter tandem some first expected when early screens for The Last of Us leaked — we later discovered that the duo, respectively, comprised a black market contraband broker and 14-year-old orphan — but make no mistake: In Naughty Dog’s disease-infested world where simply being human suffices for most, Joel’s unique role as a father figure casts him as one of rarer archetypes we see in gaming narratives....

Since its release in 2011, Minecraft has become one of the biggest gaming franchises of all time and continues to frequently inspire the next generation to create. Developer Mojang has even released Minecraft: Education Edition, allowing its impact to be felt in schools across the world.

Fear is a familiar feeling to many of these athletes, whose daring has been critical to their success. They include downhill skiing star Picabo Street, whose reckless charges down the mountain have twice derailed her career with serious knee injuries; figure skater Michael Weiss, for whom a missed quad jump can become the equivalent of a 10-foot spill onto concrete; skiing aerialist Joe Pack, who does triple flips and spins from a height of 55 feet; snowboarder Chris Klug, who faced a liver transplant last summer that could have meant the end of his career; and skeleton champ Jim Shea Jr....

GameStop Senior Director of Merchandising, Eric Bright, shared his take on the Nintendo Switch launch with Game Rant, revealing how much demand there has been for the console. Bright said: Those who have been unsuccessful at finding a Nintendo Switch in their area, or who were unable to preorder one, have had to resort to eBay and other online resale sites to find the new Nintendo console. As expected, the price for the Nintendo Switch on such sites is more than double what the console costs in retail stores....

With both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 being released before Black Friday, which falls on November 27th this year, gamers will be able to purchase them at GameStop on the hectic sale day. However, customers can only buy one console at a time, and stock will undoubtedly be limited, though the purchase limit is to prevent scalpers, which usually pop up whenever a new major console is released....

Now, GameStop CEO Paul Raines is the latest industry insider to add some fuel to the fire, albeit unintentionally. Raines appeared on CNBC on Monday to talk about Pokemon Go but the interviewer also asked the executive what gamers could expect from the industry this holiday season. Raines pointed out that the Nintendo NX won’t see release until 2017 but then mentioned the PS4 Neo and Xbox One S, presumably while still talking about 2016....
