It is alleged that the guard drew eyes with a ballpoint pen on Anna Leporskaya’s Soviet-era painting Three Figures. According to the Art Newspaper Russia, which broke the story in January, the painting was from the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery and provided for the exhibition “The World as Non-Objectivity. The Birth of a New Art” on display at the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center in Yekaterinburg. The drawing of the eyes was reportedly noticed by exhibition visitors on December 7....

The first Boss Baby film was a hit with family audiences upon its release in March 2017. The film that starred funnyman Alec Baldwin as a talking baby earned a total of $175 million at the domestic box office, spawning the successful Netflix series titled The Boss Baby: Back in Business shortly afterward. As it stands, The Boss Baby is one of Dreamworks Animation’s most recognized properties around the world....

The protest was organized by Christian activist group Hold the Line and took place in Burbank, California, on Wednesday evening. Earlier in the week, another video calling for the protest also began circulating on social media. In the video, it showed news hosts highlighting Disney’s decision to increase its representation of LBTQ+ people in its media....

From in-game dialogues that talk about a character’s skin color to mocking indigenous people with Hilichurl references, there is a lot of Genshin Impact content that many feel needs to be changed. Considering the global outburst against racism, some of the content in-game can be horrifying for certain players. Additionally, as pointed out by @rainelovr on Twitter, all these issues have caused the community to come forward with the #boycottgenshin trend on social media....

The Raiders also finished with a disastrous 6-11 record this year after making the NFL Playoffs last season. Carr was eventually benched in favor of Jarrett Stidham for the final two games of the season and is currently on the trade block as the Raiders appear to be in the market for a new quarterback next year. Despite widely being considered a major failure to meet expectations during the 2022 NFL season, Derek Carr has been named one of the quarterbacks who will represent the AFC in the Pro Bowl this year....

The announcement came via Twitter, as Vice President of Epic Games informed the public that the “Bulletstorm PC demo is in the works! Won’t make it in time for ship date but should be available shortly after.” This revelation comes a month after Cliff Bleszinski poked fun at PC gamers in regards to the playable demo for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It seems more and more common for major releases to give fans a taste of what’s to come before the actual street date, but it isn’t too common for a game to receive this much hype and yet still not cater to a large section of the gaming community....

Clint Bolton was Sydney’s leading goalkeeper when the club won the inaugural A-League championship in 2006 and when the Sky Blues defeated Melbourne Victory four years later. Terry McFlynn, who is now part of Graham Arnold’s support staff at the club, is the only other player to have won two championship medals with Sydney. Now retired after a 20-year career that saw him win four league championships in Australia - including National Soccer League titles with Brisbane Strikers and Sydney Olympic - Bolton is in awe of what Arnold’s team have achieved this term....

Disney and Papa John’s are among the other companies that have pulled their advertisements from the Fox News program, Tucker Carlson Tonight. The backlash comes following the hosts’ Monday night monologue about the George Floyd protests which he declared were “definitely not about black lives.” T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert, responding to a Twitter user asking if the telecom company supported Carlson’s message, wrote back: “It definitely is not. Bye-bye Tucker Carlson!...

Speaking to VG247, a Treyarch employee stated that — despite Black Ops 2’s main story jumping back and forth between the year 2025 and the ’80s — the game’s multiplayer will be based exclusively in the future. This move makes a lot of sense considering that Treyarch would have to make an entirely different set of weapons and killstreaks in order for maps that are set nearly 50 years ago to even make sense....

The MotoGP world champion dropped from pole to third when Jorge Lorenzo got off to a flyer at the Sachsenring, but was content to bide his time before hitting the front with 17 laps to go. Marquez put the hammer down and eased to a sixth premier class win in a row at a track where he has dominated for so long, his other three triumphs coming in smaller classes....

Kolkata, March 2 (IANS) At a time when many I-League clubs are unclear about their future, former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia says there would also be a “big question mark” over the future of the Indian Super League (ISL) unless it accommodates clubs which have “history, passion and fanbase”. Bhutia also advocated introduction of a promotion-relegation system if the ISL wants to attract more eyeballs. “For ISL also, it’s very important that clubs like East Bengal and Mohun Bagan are there....

BioShock Infinite strikes that same chord with its Heavy Hitters. The politics and the science behind the magnificent city of Columbia and its warring citizens is fascinating, to be sure. But one only needs to glance at the George Washington doppelganger Motorized Patriot or the high-flying, hard-charging Handyman to get the sense that more than a few elements of fear are at play here. This week’s BioShock Infinite Heavy Hitter - as part of the weekly Irrational Games developer diary series - continues this trend, blowing its predecessors out of the water for value of sheer terror....

Oliveira reported a bitcoin hack on his company in 2019, but Brazilian authorities believe the crime was a ruse. Oliveira’s company reported 7,000 bitcoin had been stolen and client withdrawals from the group’s brokers ceased. An investigation into the reported crime ensued, but while authorities looked into the crime, Bitcoin Banco Group received a favorable decision in its request for judicial recovery from the 1st Bankruptcy Court of Curitiba, according to a Monday press release from the Federal Police in Brazil....

Four years after the drama of Neymar’s injury and a humiliating 7-1 semi-final defeat to Germany on home soil, Brazil were forced back to the drawing board as they followed neighbours Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia in exiting the tournament earlier than hoped. Brazil had been undefeated in their last 15 games under Tite, a streak in which a resurgent Selecao had conceded only three goals. Their World Cup hopes were turned upside down in 31 first-half minutes when Fernandinho’s 13th minute own goal put Belgium ahead before a superb strike from Kevin De Bruyne left Brazil, and Neymar, staring at a spectacular defeat....

While the title may be unknown to many, its place in gaming history has never been questioned. The game was one of the first text-based adventures that offered an extensive system of user interaction. The game was built on submitting commands to the main character, Zork, while searching caves and dungeons for gems and magical items to claim the title of ‘Dungeon Master.’ So what is this game doing in a record-breaking FPS?...

[HTML1] The call sheet for Call of Duty: Black Ops II features plenty of big names, many that will instantly resonate with fans of 2010’s Black Ops - Frank Woods, Alex Mason, Jason Hudson - but the team Activision/Treyarch has assembled to create the game is equally esteemed. Contemplating the cultural emergence of video games in the mainstream and their growing ability to lure talent from a wide range of industries, the latest trailer for Black Ops II takes us behind the scenes to interview two of its prominent additions: Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and The Dark Knight Rises co-writer David S....

The latest 1.03 patch for Bloodborne helps reduce the load time by up to 15 seconds, which says a lot about how painfully long the load times were prior to the patch. While the load times still aren’t as instantaneous as other games, they’re much better now thanks to the update. In addition to the load time fix, developer From Software also improved a handful of other issues in the game....
