With the game’s release date only a week away, the Borderlands 2 hype-machine has been locked at its “Max Power” setting. In addition to the Mechromancer news, Gearbox has released a couple of new BL2 trailers: the first (above) offers a comprehensive look at the game and its world, while the second is a live-action affair that made its televised debut on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown. To top it all off, Gearbox Software has created online Skill Trees for players who just can’t wait to plot out their character’s progression....

Released today this Borderlands 2 trailer isn’t exactly chalked full of content, nor is it particularly revelatory, but what it lacks in juicy details it more than makes up for by showing that the general blueprint of Gearbox Software’s open-world shooter remains in tact. On display are a couple of the wildly customizable weapons and varied environments that gamers should expect, and that same visual style that made the title stand out despite being an entry in a very crowded genre....

United had overwhelming possession off the ball but they failed to find the net yet again as the fans were kept in expectation of thrills that never braced the Theatre of Dreams last evening. It is a matter of some shame that United failed to find the net against Sheffield United who are a third-tier club and are 48 levels below them in ranking. Defender Dean Hammond, whose performance was otherwise worthy of applause, committed a capital folly as he stretched out his leg to bring down substitute Memphis Depay inside the box....

The decision to wear blue at home wasn't necessarily by choice, though. The Cowboys were slated to wear throwback uniforms -- as they do every season -- when the NFL's Head, Neck and Spine committee intervened, mandating that teams were only allowed to wear one helmet per season. The banned jersey (below) may work its way back into the Cowboys rotation at some point. Just not this year. The league and teams have agreed to err on the side of caution in the wake of recent concussion studies....

The hyperactive and unorthodox right-hander has drawn regular comparisons with the legendary Donald Bradman as his batting has gone from strength to strength. But Smith has also been slammed as a cheat after he owned up to a ball-tampering conspiracy in South Africa, prompting a clamour for him to be stripped of the Australian captaincy. Originally selected as a leg spinner who batted down the order, Smith developed his unusual technique to the extent that he was unbreakable at times during the recent Ashes series against England....

Rep. Mace got into an exchange with Alejandra Caraballo, a clinical instructor at Harvard Law School Cyberlaw Clinic and transgender woman, during a hearing by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform discussing the links between white supremacy and anti-LGBTQ extremism. During the proceedings, Mace asked Caraballo and five other witnesses testifying whether they believe “rhetoric on social media” is a problem and a threat to our democracy, to which the Republican received six yeses in response....

Lead actor Michael Weatherly announced that the show had been canceled, with the former NCIS star writing: “It has been an honor to work with this talented cast, crew, and writing/producing team who helped reinvent the legal drama. Stay tuned for a big series finish.” The news that Bull was ending has come after a troubled few years for the CBS show, with Weatherly the subject of accusations from a co-star, and a showrunner and cast member having to leave the show....

Though this is a tried and tested formula for network television, with varying results, but paired with the compelling story-telling of Bull, Marissa vs. Dr. Jason Bull (Michael Weatherly) is sure to be a roller-coaster ride. Since this is the last season of the show (a shock announcement, yes), things are naturally going to get more intense over the coming weeks. Read on to find out all about episode 11 of Bull, titled “Family Matters....

The looks the the developers have given at the weaponry you’ll be wielding in the game’s campaign and multiplayer show that no time was wasted when coming up with the most satisfying and over-the-top arsenal this side of Doom, but the game’s bosses have only been glimpsed in a few seconds of video and screenshots. Now we know that aside from the mutated cannibalistic hordes, players will also be taking aim against bosses in the form of plants and dinosaurs....

[HTML1] While Activision had hoped to officially unveil this year’s Call of Duty as part of an Internet-wide promotional push on Sunday May 4th, it appears the universe had other plans. Instead, the first official trailer from the game made its way online (read: leaked) late Thursday night, giving gamers their first look at Sledgehammer Games’ new title. As the trailer above shows, many of the rumors surrounding this year’s iteration were, in fact, true....

But while this Booker and this Elizabeth have similarities to their Columbian counterparts, these are not the same characters, nor is this the same incarnation of Rapture that fans will recognize. Instead, Burial at Sea features Rapture before the fall, and a noir-style mystery is afoot. But, as any BioShock can expect, what might seem like a cut and dry case never pans out that way. Burial at Sea: Episode 1 is, the most direct sense, a chance for players to reacquaint themselves with the combat of Infinite, only in some new environments....

Activision has announced today that the First Strike map pack will be hitting the PS3 on March 3rd, only one month after the release of the maps on the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, PC gamers will have to wait a bit longer as Activision did not announce a date for that platform. Boasting four multiplayer maps each with their own unique mechanic, the First Strike map pack is a must buy for any Black Ops fan who has grown tired of the title’s original maps....

The Liverpool shot-stopper made two high-profile blunders as Real Madrid defeated the Reds 3-1 in Kiev, both coming after a collision with opposing centre-back Sergio Ramos, who seemed to hit him in the head. On Monday, it was revealed that the 24-year-old had been seen by doctors in Boston, who had diagnosed him with concussion, which might explain his slips. And the Chelsea man, who had been linked with a move to Jurgen Klopp’s side, admits that he does not find that a convincing explanation for the errors....

In the recent issue of Jump Magazine in Japan, it was revealed that creator Tite Kubo’s popular Shonen series will return in 2021. The anime will cover the “Thousand-Year Blood War,” which begins in Chapter 480 of the manga to the end of the series in Chapter 686. No further details on the anime adaptation was revealed. Bleach fans were devastated when the anime was halted in 2012 after the completion of the “Fullbringer” arc....

The series is the sister show to the Los-Angeles-based Bling Empire and sees Wang, who featured in the second season of Bling Empire, make the big move from LA to NYC. The episodes follow Wang and a fresh group of “wealthy, sophisticated and hilarious Asian Americans from New York City, where the quality of real estate is measured by address, not acreage. Conversations are direct, not coded. And competition—for love, for money, and for power—is fierce....

‘The American Gangster’ revealed that this gig was one of his first movie roles. Interestingly, Sonnen seemingly insisted on performing the stunt scenes in the movie himself. Things, however, got a bit bloody as Sonnen injured his head after shooting a stunt scene with Stallone: Watch Chael Sonnen explain his stunt scene with Sylvester Stallone below: This wasn’t the only issue that plagued Sonnen’s big screen debut. The UFC athlete kept making fake punching noises every time he threw a punch during the scene....

One major problem with cinematic trailers, however, is that they often show no actual footage from the game that they are advertising. It’s often difficult to get any idea of what the gameplay will be like, or even of what the story will be about. Such was the case with the trailer for Bloodborne: a grim, bloody, monster-hunting game set in the Victorian era, being developed exclusively for the PS4 by Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls developer From Software....

Even so, Yamagiwa offers some interesting looks into the development of Bloodborne and where From Software may be looking to take future entries in the overarching Souls franchise. Yes, Bloodborne may not be a Dark Souls game, but it’s certainly from the same lineage. Here’s what Yamagiwa had to say: Game Rant: One of the most striking aspects of the Souls games is the diverse and genuinely intimidating array of creatures that populate their worlds....

Burns hosted the educational preschool children’s show from its 1996 launch until he left in 2002, when Donovan Patton took over, playing Steve’s younger brother Joe. And fans of the Nickelodeon favorite were taken on a heartwarming trip down memory lane on Tuesday, thanks to a video of Burns back in character as Steve. Wearing his signature striped green shirt and speaking in gentle tones, Burns addressed his departure from the show, assuring fans that he hadn’t forgotten them....

In Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the initial plan is to give this monkey as a gift to Donald Trump in order to gain his favor for the president of Kazakhstan. In the film, Johnny the Monkey is the most famous celebrity in the country, a multi-hyphenate TV and porn star, who is also Kazakhstan’s minister for culture. Of course, Johnny the Monkey is not a real Kazakhstani celebrity, and is one of the many fabrications about the country that have led to the Borat films getting a mixed reception in Kazakhstan....
