While Karl is known to reply to several celebrities, his interactions with Corinna has attracted a substantial amount of interest, particularly due to the nature of their exchanges....

For example, is there anything more frightening than trying to connect to a Battlefield multiplayer match within days of launch? Even Battlefield 3 has been no different despite having big beta numbers and pre-order statistics to help out. Sometimes gaming horror comes in packs, like the hordes of peripherals Nintendo has been quick to unleash upon its devices lately. Steering wheels, balance boards, extra thumb-pads; I bet the hair on your neck is standing up just thinking about it....

Those of you old enough to remember when cartoons weren’t just thirty-minute commercials for a collectible card game have no doubt been to a party where the SNES or N64 has been busted out for some intense Mario Kart competition. As more and more drinks are imbibed, a glance at the four squares on screen will reveal, without fail, the following scene: One will have a kart that is doing really well because the player is likely the designated driver and/or taking the game a little too seriously for such a casual party....

Whether it’d be for story purposes or merely aesthetic reasons Rebuild of Evangelion brought along new characters, threads, and looks as the anime continued to expand. However, for most fans, the original EVA pilots really can’t be beaten, and such is the case for cosplayer and model Miss Mononoke. RELATED: Black Widow Cosplayer Looks Pretty Much Identical To Scarlett Johansson Rei Ayanami was one of those characters to get a small refresh in Rebuild of Evangelion since she eventually leaves behind her classic white EVA unit-00 plugsuit in favor of a black model that looks a lot like Kaworu’s SEELE suit....

After lunch, he’ll strap on his Robin Hood leathers and scarves to resume shooting the Morgan Creek/Warner Bros. movie in a damp forest outside London. But for the moment, he’s still in jeans and two-tone cowboy boots, sipping a glass of milk and reveling in the strangeness of life. “People were really poised to kill me on this movie,” says Costner of his directorial debut. But while nobody has elevated him to the status of living hero, his engrossing epic has proven him to be a serious–and seriously entertaining–filmmaker....

While Netflix’s new Splinter Cell series doesn’t have a release date, a cast, and only one member of the team (John Wick Writer Derek Kolstad) has been confirmed, fans are now asking what sort of implications the announcement could have.

Perhaps it should come as no surprise that back then, at the 2002 World Cup, it was also Bruce Arena who enjoyed success playing with three central defenders. Soon after he took over for Jurgen Klinsmann at the end of 2016, he mentioned the 3-5-2 as a system we could see the USMNT use. Arena wasn’t kidding. We have seen the U.S. deploy three central defenders in some very big matches, most notably the 1-1 draw against Mexico at Estadio Azteca....

Jackson County Judge John McBain was reprimanded by the Michigan Court of Appeals’ ruling on the case of Dawn Marie Dixon-Bey, a 49-year-old woman convicted of fatally stabbing her boyfriend on Valentine’s Day in 2015. Dixon-Bey said she acted in self-defense. “If a trial judge is unable to follow the law as determined by a higher appellate court, the trial judge is in the wrong line of work,” the appeals court said in its opinion, which followed a previous reprimand for how McBain handled the case by overturning the Court of Appeals ruling....

Hazard joined LaLiga giants Madrid from Chelsea on a five-year deal on Friday for a fee that could reportedly rise to €140million.

But, to some, the first and most obvious group that came to mind are people living with HIV, whose disease is characterized by the progressive deterioration of the immune system when not treated with antiretroviral therapy. While it might seem reasonable to assume that having HIV places a person at risk of not only getting COVID-19 but developing more severe illness, the determination of risk on an individual basis is not so straightforward....
