[HTML1] Although much of the conversation this week has been surrounding Gearbox Software’s plans for Borderlands 3, the developer wants to make sure gamers don’t forget their current game, The Pre-Sequel. In fact, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel just released its next piece of DLC, which introduces the Baroness Lady Aurelia Hammerlock into the game. As some have already guessed, Aurelia Hammerlock is from the same Hammerlock lineage as Sir Hammerlock from Borderlands 2....

This time, there are some changes to the world of the Shonda Rhimes series, based on the books by Julia Quinn. Rege-Jean Page is out as the rakish Duke of Hastings, meaning that the Netflix series will be moving on to the love story of another member of the Bridgerton family, Anthony (played by Jonathan Bailey). With a new season also comes a new set of love interests. Leading them is Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma, with whom Anthony may have met his match....

The Silverstone-based outfit last month appointed FRP Advisory LLP as joint administrators, but continued to operate as normal. A consortium led by Canadian businessman Lawrence Stroll, father of Williams driver Lance, on Tuesday reached an agreement for a takeover, meaning 405 jobs would be saved and creditors paid in full with ongoing funding guaranteed. Canadian entrepreneur Andre Desmarais, Monaco Sports and Management’s Jonathan Dudman, fashion business leader John Idol, telecommunications investor John McCaw Jr, financial expert Michael de Picciotto and Stroll’s business partner Silas Chou are also part of the consortium....

Speaking after the game, Bumrah said that he just sticks to the basics and tries to bowl to his strength. The pacer said that execution is the key when it comes to the slam-bang format of the game. “You go ball by ball and you try to control the controllables. You try to back yourself in the situation. You don’t go too far behind, I was just focussing on my plan and trying to back my strengths....

A new report by research firm Sterne Agee suggests that Advanced Warfare will ship 15% fewer copies in Q4 of 2014 than its predecessor did last year. That figure would be in the region of 3 million units, no small amount considering that Ghosts was itself millions short of the sales accomplished by Black Ops II the year prior. There’s no one reason for the diminishing sales of the series....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War free Zombies week start and end time While Activision has yet to announce a precise start time for the Free Zombies Week festivities, logic dictates the demo will start to roll out January 14 at 1 p.m. EST. If the pattern established by previous free Call of Duty weeks holds true, the content will be live through January 21 at 1 p.m. EST. Preloads for the demo have not been announced at the time of this article’s publication, so you’ll need to head to your platform’s store once the start time arrives....

Neymar has been linked with a return to La Liga, despite leaving Barcelona for PSG for a world-record €222 million (£194m/$260m) fee less than a year ago. The 25-year-old won Ligue 1’s Player of the Year award with 19 goals in 20 games, but missed the end of the campaign due to injury and also made headlines during the season for clashing with Edinson Cavani. As a result, Neymar is eager to force a move to Real Madrid, but will have to battle PSG’s chiefs to be allowed to leave so soon after moving to Paris....

The influx of millions of dollars from major companies is likely to drive up the price and smooth out manic price swings, but it also raises questions about the future importance of individual investors in the market. That would create a paradox: Cryptocurrencies, created as an alternative to government-issued fiat money and markets dominated by major institutional investors, may become more like the established markets they seek to replace....

Investigators from the United States and several other countries have long believed that Bashir is a terrorist leader and should be locked up. But in Indonesia, Bashir’s antics have struck terror within the halls of power, most notably inside the palace of President Megawati Sukarnoputri. The aging cleric has taken advantage of Indonesia’s democratic freedoms to transform himself from a obscure Muslim boarding-school rector into an Asian spokesman for radical Islam....

[HTML1] Irrational Games’ BioShock Infinite has been in development for a while now, but everything appears to be right on track for a successful launch next month. In fact, the fine folk at Irrational (who happen to have been working on the title for roughly five years) finally confirmed that BioShock Infinite has gone gold, and is on track to simultaneously hit the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in just over a month’s time....

[HTML1] Although neither Treyarch nor Activision had yet to formally confirm it, more and more details are mounting that suggest the first Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 DLC will indeed be called Revolution. While earlier this month we revealed a banner that seemingly spilled the beans on Revolution — as well as its 4 multiplayer and 1 zombie map — much of what was detailed was based on circumstantial evidence....

Now, after setting a new franchise milestone, with $1 billion in week one sales, it’s looking as though Black Ops 2 might be the first title in Call of Duty console history to sell less copies (long term) than its predecessor. Of course, a decline in sales does not mean that the game (and larger series) won’t continue to bring in big bucks for Activision but has Call of Duty reached its peak?...

But despite its familiar appearance, Bladestorm: Nightmare is something entirely different. In Bladestorm, players don’t control a lone hero; they take command of an entire army. Combat is automatic: just hold the right bumper, and troops will attack targets all on their own. There’s no button-mashing in Bladestorm; in this game, it’s not how you fight that’s important, it’s who and when and where. In the release notes, Koei Temco calls Bladestorm: Nightmare a strategy game, but that doesn’t feel quite right....

Fans will get their last few fixings of the Netflix original animated series when the first eight episodes of Season 6 release on the streaming platform Friday. Episodes of the show will become available for subscribers as soon as 12 a.m. EST. The second half of the final season is set to release on Netflix Jan. 31. Following a particularly dark Season 5, the trailer for the upcoming episodes hints at slightly positive changes the famous horse actor is trying to make in his life....

Aluko and Glenn were giving evidence to a parliamentary committee on Wednesday in relation to the FA’s handling of the Mark Sampson affair. Sampson was sacked as England manager last month on account of “inappropriate and unacceptable” behaviour with female players in a previous role. That controversy emerged after the 35-year-old was cleared of wrongdoing by an internal inquiry and an initial report by independent barrister Katharine Newton with regards to discrimination allegations made by England players, including Aluko....

United were linked with a move for Pau Torres last summer but signed Raphael Varane instead. They could now reignite their interest in the Spanish defender, who was highly impressive for Villarreal last season, reaching the UEFA Champions League semos. Timber, meanwhile, was an integral member of Erik ten Hag’s Eredevisie-winning Ajax team last season. His ability to play as centre-back and right-back could be a massive asset for the new United manager....

Schmeck made his comment during an interview with conservative Christian broadcaster Todd Starnes. Starnes asked him if he had any plans to run for office. “I want to pray about it, see what God has for me,” Schmeck replied. “At the end of the day, I want His will for my life and the direction that it goes.” “I do feel like God put me in this position for a reason,” he continued....

The Chilean has endured a tough time in English football since trading life in La Liga with Barcelona for that in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium. His shot-stopping ability has been called into question on a regular basis, with Guardiola criticised for favouring a new arrival over established England international Joe Hart. Pep achieves football perfection at City The Catalan coach is, however, of the opinion that the 33-year-old is perfect for City, despite seeing him concede another tame goal after being returned to the starting XI in a 3-1 victory over Hull City....

“Brazil is a democratic country and the people have the right to protest. Democracy isn’t a pact for silence; it’s a society that strives for victories,” Lula said, reports Xinhua. Mass anti-government rallies that began during last year’s Confederations Cup have continued in Brazil’s major cities. Many Brazilians are upset that public funds are being spent on World Cup stadia instead of essential services like health, education and transport....

The 30-year-old streamer went on to add to the tweet that his friend @AustinonTwitter could not recognize the gamer. Fans took to Piker’s comment section under the Tweet saying: Others also said: How did Hasan Piker rise to fame? The New Jersey native started his career in political commentary during his senior year of college in 2013. Piker interned for The Young Turks (TYT), a news publication co-founded by Cenk Uygur’s uncle....
