It’s worth taking into account that these numbers are sourced from the US NPD, meaning they only represent sales in the good ol’ US of A. The worldwide total could be (and probably is) much larger. The sales figures represent the period from January 10th to September 11th, meaning there is still plenty of time for Black Ops to sell even more. Even with the recent, record-breaking release of Modern Warfare 3, the Black Ops money train probably won’t lose any steam....

The clip arrives courtesy of Douglas “DougisRaw” Wolf, a fairly popular Call of Duty streamer and content creator who was taking part in what appeared to be an internal alpha test of Black Ops Cold War’s upcoming Open Beta or possibly the multiplayer suite at large. The story goes that Doug inadvertently turned on his Twitch stream during the test, which allowed about five minutes of embargoed gameplay footage to make its way to the internet....

Instead, this is a guide to all those little references and moments that might have you pausing the show and diving for a search engine. Each reference is presented roughly in order, so while there’s no spoilers for specific plot points, the lines do tend to form a loose narrative that tracks the events of the premiere episode. Use these handy annotations wisely and happy watching. “My kitchen cabinet,” Chuck says of his compatriots at his father’s wedding....

We say this is concerning because this new acronym just isn’t doing what those using it think it’s doing. We don’t make this point lightly. We have spent over 30 years having conversations about race and racism, as activists and educators living in a society whose bedrock is white supremacy. We are deeply connected to the human rights struggles of the 60s and 70s. We matured and marched through the multicultural 80s and 90s, and now watch and reflect on the 21st century’s robust intersectionality....

[HTML1] Bloodborne, spiritual successor to games of legendary difficulty like Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls, provides a serious challenge even to hardcore gamers. While beating the game normally is reason enough for gamers to pat themselves on the back, some take it a step further. For example, one gamer used glitches to beat Bloodborne in less than an hour, while another defeated the game without ever leveling. However, one Twitch streamer has taken these feats a step further by defeating the game while using an unusual game controller....

For two years, Torment: Tides of Numenera held the top spot for funding with just under $4.2 million. This week, the crown was passed to Koji Igarashi’s brainchild, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which is nearing the $4.5 million mark. Bloodstained is now the most-funded Kickstarter video game campaign ever. Bloodstained is still half a million dollars away from reaching its last two announced stretch goal of $4.75 million and $5 million, but considering that the final hours of a Kickstarter campaign are usually some of the most fruitful for the projects, it’s very likely Bloodstained will reach that goal....

On Sunday, The New York Times revealed the contents of an unpublished book by Bolton, who was fired from Trump’s White House in September. In his book, The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir, which is expected to be released in March, Bolton claims Trump told him back in August of plans to withhold $391 million in aid to Ukraine until officials agreed to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, according to the Times....

The British actor, who has played the comedy character in two Borat movies, is seeking compensation of “at least” $9 million from Solar Therapeutics for its use of the film favorite’s image in the promotional campaign. Baron Cohen is suing for copyright infringement, false advertising and misappropriation of his right of publicity over the use of the image, which shows the fictional Kazakh journalist giving the thumbs up while stating: “It’s Nice!...

Even when Baron Cohen tried to interrupt Pence’s CPAC speech, the Vice President did not issue a reaction. Partly this was because, despite what we saw in Subsequent Moviefilm, Pence’s speech was not actually interrupted per se. Though videos from the day see that Baron Cohen really did heckle Pence while dressed as Trump, he was not able to shout loud enough to actually stop Pence’s speech. While in the movie, Pence stops talking while security took Baron Cohen away, it seems that in real life the audience began chanting “USA, USA” to drown out the interruption, and Pence did not pause in his speech....

News of the delay arrived courtesy of an official Borderlands tweet posted Wednesday evening. The full statement can be read below. “This week we muted our channel out of respect for what’s going on in the world and will be postponing the launch of Takedown at the Guardian Breach. “We are increasing funding for our 2K Foundations program by an additional $1 million and expanding its mission to help fight racial injustice and inequalities in black communities across the globe....

The 52-year-old has insisted that if the situation at Stamford Bridge is not resolved by the end of the season, Jurgen Klopp’s side should look to raid the Blues. Thomas Tuchel’s side are currently going through uncertain times with their owner Roman Abramovich sanctioned by the UK government. The West London club are not allowed to do any kind of business due to Abramovich’s close ties with Russian president Vladimir Putin....

His first hit, Braid, was a smash on Xbox Live, and would later be ported to PC after massive consumer demand. It made Blow millions, but even that income wasn’t enough to fund the ambitious efforts of The Witness - and the developer has resorted to borrowing investment money in order to complete his next title. The Witness is a first-person puzzle adventure game that eliminates the features Blow doesn’t like about other adventure games....

The world’s oldest continental international football tournament will begin in Sao Paulo on June 14, less than a year after Brazil’s World Cup quarterfinal loss to Belgium in Russia, reports Xinhua news agency. Also sure to be vivid in the players’ memories is the last time Brazil hosted a major tournament in 2014, when the Selecao were dumped out of the World Cup with a 1-7 semi-final defeat to Germany....

The 19-year-old striker has scored five goals in six matches for the Brazilian national team and was a key player in the their Rio Olympic Games triumph in August, reports Xinhua. “He may not be mature for England, but he is a starter for Brazil, and will be very important and a starter at City,” Palmeiras coach Cuca was quoted as saying by Sambafoot on Wednesday. “You cannot think that at 19 he is at his peak....

Now, however, publisher’s strategies have changed, and they have begun to seek out new ways to emphasize their product’s importance, or dominance, in the video game market. And that is why today we bring you the announcement that Black Ops 2 has grossed $1 billion in a record-breaking 15 days. This tally eclipses Modern Warfare 3’s milestone of $1 billion in 16 days, and as Activision was kind enough to point out, passes the Avatar’s record of $1 billion (in worldwide sales) in 17 days, but let’s be fair comparing a $60 game with a ~$10 movie ticket is not a fair comparison....

Branch told TMZ today that Newton should be thanking the Patriots’ longtime head coach for letting him go. The 32-year-old former MVP quarterback can now look for another team rather than being stuck on the bench behind rookie QB Mac Jones. Branch believes there will be a lot of interest in Cam Newton now that he’s available. He told TMZ that the Houston Texans or Miami Dolphins could be landing spots for the veteran NFL play-caller....

After almost a decade’s worth of questions, fans wanted answers. They didn’t want loose hanging threads, and they certainly didn’t want the type of ambiguity that has long permeated this iconic franchise. And while Burial at Sea: Episode 2 doesn’t go through an itemized list, it does neatly tie the storylines of Infinite and BioShock 1 together, while also providing back-story on the world’s of both. But while we could go on for days about Burial at Sea’s various revelations, from Songbird’s imprinting on Elizabeth to the origins of the Big Daddy and Plasmids, it’s best to keep this particular post focused on the ending....

Starring Diana Silvers and Kristine Froseth as dancers Kate Sanders and Marine Durand, it follows the pair as they compete to win the chance to join the Opéra national de Paris. The film, which sits somewhere between Black Swan and Tiny Pretty Things, sees Kate and Marine’s friendship tested to the limits as they realise how far they’re willing to go for success. In stark contrast, Silvers and Froseth are nothing short of gushing as they speak about each other to Newsweek, regularly complimenting the other and sharing how grateful they were to have the other’s support....

The team includes actors Rosie Perez, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell joining the Wolf of Wall Street star. They will be facing off against a very flamboyant Ewan McGregor, playing the nefarious crime boss Black Mask. Who stars in Birds of Prey? Harley Quinn - Margot Robbie Since fans last saw the character in Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn has broken up with The Joker (played by Jared Leto), while Robbie herself has been nominated for two Oscars for I, Tonya and Bombshell....

Cobbina is a 24-year-old fitness trainer from Britain, and recently made waves on social media after pro wrestling fans compared his looks to that of Cena. He had a chat with Sportskeeda Wrestling and opened up on a variety of topics.
