A statement from the White House on Wednesday revealed that Trump had signed the Executive Grant of Clemency for Flynn, who had pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI amid an investigation about his correspondence with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. In a statement, the White House claimed that Flynn was innocent and alleged corruption as the reason for his prosecution. “He is an innocent man. Even the FBI agents who interviewed General Flynn did not think he was lying....

The Ducks want to get back to the big time. “We want nothing but the absolute biggest and greatest accomplishments on the biggest stage under the brightest lights,” Cristobal said at Pac-12 Media Day on Tuesday. “We’re honestly going to work at it until we get there.” Oregon might not have the Los Angeles lights of Pac-12 South favorite USC, but the Ducks have been the most consistent program in the conference since the start of the College Football Playoff era....

Fans have been waiting a long time to see what ‘Buchecha’ can do in a pair of MMA gloves. Having won a remarkable 13 world titles in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the 31-year-old has been linked with making the transition for several years. ‘Buchecha’ was brought in to be part of Daniel Cormier’s camp while the former UFC star was training to fight then-UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic. Speaking exclusively to Sportskeeda, Buchecha said:...

That is obviously great news for Juventus and fans of the arguably the greatest goalkeeper of all time, who remains at the peak of his powers a staggering 23 years after his professional debut at Parma. Wojciech Szczesny might be less enamoured with the idea of Buffon playing on for at least another year, though, given he was poised to take over as the Bianconeri’s No.1 this summer. However, the majority of the Pole’s predecessors have never had any issue serving as the Italian icon’s understudy, considering it both a privilege and a valuable learning experience....

The question that has now popped into every reader’s head is likely, “How much more does this Epic Edition cost?” Fortunately for Gears heads, the special edition of Bulletstorm will retail for $59.99, which just so happens to be the exact same price as a regular old generic copy of the game. PlayStation 3 owners may assume that they’ll receive the special edition sans Gears 3 beta, but they’d be mistaken – the Epic Edition is exclusive to the Xbox 360....

With it’s Lobster Monsters and UFOs, Burnout: CRASH! is clearly a departure for the series. Fortunately, CRASH!’s player-friendly $9.99/800 MS price point should encourage curious gamers to give it a shot. If that doesn’t do the trick, the game will also make use of the Autolog feature pioneered in Criterion’s Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and will include a Kinect-exclusive partly battle mode. Along with the release date, a fresh batch of Burnout CRASH!...

After England extended their first-innings lead to 99, Team India’s openers reduced the deficit to 56 by the end of the second day’s play. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Zaheer hailed Team India’s openers for going out to bat with a positive approach despite being behind in the game. The retired left-arm seamer said: The former pacer added that if Team India can keep batting in the same mold on Day 3, their bowlers could bring the conditions into play on the last two days....

At the time of writing, the hashtag had reached the top of U.S. Twitter trending charts with more than 24,000 posts using the phrase. Another hashtag aimed at former vice president Biden’s perceived electability—#LoseWithBiden—was also trending on Wednesday morning and featured in more than 53,000 tweets. Both hashtags began trending after Biden was declared winner in four of the six Democratic primaries held on Tuesday, including the state offering the day’s largest delegate haul: Michigan....

So far, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare looks the part of a typical COD title, but with some decidedly unique twists. For this year’s game, Sledgehammer is taking players to the near-future and outfitting them with some truly awesome weapons and tech. But, even though Sledgehammer Games is trying some new things within the Call of Duty framework, they are still delivering a very familiar experience. That includes a full single player campaign, multiplayer experience complete with new modes, and as we just learned this week, a cooperative variant as well....

One nice thing about multiplayer Call of Duty games on consoles is that Infinity Ward and Treyach built in the ability to apply updates to the games without requiring a patch to be downloaded. Treyarch’s Community Manager Josh Olin announced on the CoD forums that the following issues have already been resolved using this ability to “live fix”: Villa: User can clip into rock at west edge of grid zone B2 and see through to the other side....

[HTML1] It just wouldn’t be the fall without a new Call of Duty. Keeping any annual franchise fresh and engaging is always going to be challenging, even one that has the weight of a massive, devoted multiplayer community behind it like Call of Duty. These days CoD fans at least have a little variety in the form of multiple different sub-franchises within the games, including the Modern Warfare trilogy, the future-set evolution Advanced Warfare, Ghosts (assuming they ever make another one), and Black Ops....

The 5-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier, called Milly, suffered multiple bite injuries on her legs and neck when she was attacked by a brown snake in Queensland, Australia. Her owner, paramedic Madeline Mills, has said that she believes Milly was trying to defend her five-month-old dog, Tonka, from the predator. “She seemed to have protected her little brother Tonka, who didn’t get any venom,” Mills said, according to Australia’s 9News....

The four-time green jacket winner was on course to reach the level-par target he set himself at the end of round three after reaching four under through 17 on Sunday, with the help of a brilliant eagle at the 15th. However, a bogey at the last meant Woods, playing a first major since 2015 following well-documented back injuries, finished at one over for the week. “All in all, it was a bittersweet ending,” he said....

There have already been plenty of images promising a May 2 reveal: far more compelling evidence of an impending announcement than the previously leaked logo. Now more images of the actual displays have made their way online courtesy of Gamerplex, bearing the title ‘Eclipse’ where one might expect to find the game’s title. Code names aren’t anything particularly new, but given the game’s projected release date, Treyarch might be up to something....

One way in which they try and fight the Father of the Quincy is by releasing their Bankai, a powerful attack that only certain Soul Reapers are able to use. ‘Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War’: Yamamoto’s Bankai Explained In episode six of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, which aired on Monday, November 14, long-time fans of the anime franchise were able to finally see the Bankai of Yamamoto. The captain stepped up to the forefront of the battle against Yhwach, aiming to fight the villain one-on-one as leaders of their respective teams....

[HTML1] Fact: Bloodborne is hard. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, given director Hidetaka Miyazaki’s reputation, but it bears repeating. Like Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls before it, Bloodborne isn’t a game that players can simply bash their way through. Victory in Bloodborne only comes after carefully observing enemies, coming up with plans, and not giving up after those plans inevitably go straight to hell. So, yes, Bloodborne is hard - but that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible....

Of course, the Kazakhstan of the two Borat films is nothing like the real country. The language that we hear the character speak is usually Hebrew rather than Kazakh, for example. Borat is not a real Kazakhstani name, and the character’s home town as seen in the first film is actually Glod, a small village in Romania. Generally speaking, reactions to Borat in the real Kazakhstan have been one of two options: Either offense that this character is painting the country in such a bad light, or pleasure that the country is having its profile raised by being mentioned in such a hilarious film....

[HTML1] In just a few short months, the fall season will be upon us and with it will come a deluge of new game releases suited for a wide variety of tastes. As with past years, the latter months of 2014 are chalked full of new games, to the point it feels like October and November are over-stuffed. And now yet another game has added its name to the list....

Borderlands 3 Update 1.07 Patch 4 Notes NEW CONTENT: Takedown at the Maliwan Blacksite Lorelei has recruited the Vault Hunters to destroy a top-secret weapon Maliwan has been developing at their Blacksite. You and your squad should prepare for an extreme challenge because this content is balanced for four players at level 50. You can gain access to the Blacksite via a mission found on Sanctuary III after completing the main campaign with that character....

Yeltsin might have happily complied–but he faced opposition within his own camp. Chernomyrdin, the go-slow apparatchik who had taken Gaidar’s place as prime minister, balked. The standoff lasted for three days. Finally, a beaming and robust Chernomyrdin announced the shape of the new government: a pro-industry team all but stripped of reformers. Said the triumphant prime minister, “The period of market romanticism is in the past.” So were Yeltsin’s dreams for a new Russia....
