On Thursday night, sitting in a mostly empty room at the Superdome before he took his chair for the pregame show ahead of All-Star Weekend, I asked Barkley whether he regretted the decision. He took a long pause. His answer was a telling rebuke of the state of the league. ALL-STAR WEEKEND: Rosters, players, how to watch “Basketball means a great deal to me,” Barkley told Sporting News. “I want to see great competition....

When he gets back to South Florida in two weeks, the 20-year-old Custer will have a chance to win a title there. Custer locked in one of the four championship-contending spots for the season finale with his second career win. He regained the lead and won at Texas on Saturday when he pushed past rookie driver Tyler Reddick on the final lap soon after a restart. “We haven’t won all year but we have been so close....
Wilder, lucky for us, has grown more loquacious in his 90s–although he’s still insisting that he just made movies. Director Cameron Crowe (“Jerry Maguire”), an ardent Wilder fan, found that as long as he avoided calling Wilder a genius, he could keep him talking. The result, “Conversations With Wilder,” is a grand tour of Wilder’s movies, ranging from “Double Indemnity” to “Sunset Boulevard” to “Some Like It Hot.” The shrewdness and acidity of those movies remains in Wilder’s conversation....

Cutouts can be colored paper, white paper with drawings on it, even photographs, and can be completely flat or can sometimes be 3D objects, though this ventures away from cutout animation and into stop-motion animation. Many often use cutout animation to make photographs of people and animals to make it seem as if they’re talking or moving, often resulting in a 2D marionette effect. How Cutout Animation Works The actual step-by-step process of cutout animation is somewhat related to the process in stop-motion animation and can be just as tedious because it requires manual intervention....
On the second night at Anna Meares Velodrome in Brisbane, Australia stepped up their dominance, adding two more gold medals to the three they pocketed 24 hours earlier. But not before the unassuming Archibalds made their mark on the competition.

The gangs of Cyberpunk 2077 are extremely diverse in their MOs, aesthetics, and relationships with the technology and corporations of the Cyberpunk series. Here are all nine of the gangs of Night City that players can expect to meet in the upcoming CD Projekt Red game.

To elaborate, the “crunch period” in video game development often refers to when game development teams are forced to work much longer hours for an extended period of time, at the cost of their physical and mental health. Oftentimes, such crunch periods take place at the end of development, when developers are racing to meet their deadlines. In light of the recent delay, fans are concerned for the well-being of CD Projekt Red employees....
Speaking during CD Projekt RED’s 2015 financial results conference, the studio’s president Adam Kiciński and studio head Adam Badowski both revealed more on the game. Badowski said that after the massive success of The Witcher 3 (it won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2015, for example), Cyperpunk 2077 has to be “even better, even bigger, even more revolutionary” and the developer wants it to be a “truly outstanding game”....
Since Cyberpunk 2077 launched, users have pointed out one bug or glitch after another. Some of those bugs have been more severe than others. But there’s been enough problem with the game that after refunds were offered by both Sony and Microsoft, Sony has not put the game back on its digital store.

Now, players who have pre-loaded the game on their systems of choice are just waiting to dive into the game after years and years of waiting.

From a recent post on the Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit, it seems that, of all the things the developer could have added to the game, fans are puzzled that one feature wasn’t implemented from the start. When players customize V’s clothes, there is no option to preview any of the potential new threads. Instead, items need to be purchased before the player can see how their character looks in their new clothes....
“(The) test in Las Vegas is going to be very helpful for us,” said Johnson, the 2013 champion who finished fifth and sixth in the first two races of 2014. “It looks like we spent a lot of time focusing on closing out ’13 strong, which was what we needed to do, and maybe a couple of guys got a head start on this 2014 package. … It’s going to be big for the No 48....
As seen in the tweet below between Studio MDHR and a fan on Twitter, Cuphead fans looking forward to a physical release of the title should rejoice, as the developer hinted at future plans to “eventually” put out a palpable product in the form of a Collector’s Edition sometime down the line. As a matter of fact, the studio hinted as much several days ahead of Cuphead’s launch, which prompted many to lament the fact that no such physical version existed on day one....
Having “laid an egg”, in the words of Curry, on Christmas Day against the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State (23-13) were beaten again in front of their fans on Thursday, going down 110-109 in overtime.

He quickly deleted the tweet and later apologized on Facebook, but his actions brought attention to his collection of World War II memorabilia — a collection featuring dozens of swastikas.

Any video game is going to have cut content, as that’s just the nature of the beast. However, it’s a little different for WWE 2K22. This is because some of these cut characters look like they were intended for the game prior to being released by WWE, although there are a few pieces of cut content that fall under the “normal” things cut from video games.
