Valorant gained worldwide success in its first year and has become one of the most played Esports titles. However, the best days of the game are in the future with constant support, new in-game content from developers, and new tournaments taking place every day. Despite having robust in-game Agents, weapon skins, and other cosmetic items, one of the game’s weaker sections lacks map variety. Previously, the developers confirmed that one new map, if not more, will be coming to Valorant by the end of the year....

Then the globe came to a halt due to the pandemic, and the mega event of 2020 got postponed by two years. Thereon, life for Australia, especially in the T20Is, hasn’t been the same. Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2021, the situation looks grim and alarming for the cricketing giants as they slumped to their fifth consecutive series defeat since the resumption of the sport after the pandemic....

One hurdle the show will have to overcome is the story that they’re trying to tell, and the time period that they’re setting it in. The story might be unconnected from any characters we’ve seen previously, and while that allows them to tell a new story without worrying about keeping character integrity, it might be hard for some people to get invested in the show when the world is familiar but none of the characters are....

In America, the view is not only more parochial but considerably more convoluted. Among blacks he is an esteemed role model. As Eddie Williams, head of the Washington-based think tank Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, observed, “Our history causes us to take special pride in those who have made it.” But it is not just black Americans who take pride in Powell; 83 percent of Americans see him in a favorable light, according to a Gallup poll taken in December, shortly after he was appointed secretary of State....

This placement of the ulna in relation to the radius allows for humans to have more range of motion in the forearm as compared to other mammals. Anatomy The top end of the ulna has a distinguishing feature that sets it apart from other bones, including the similar radius. The top of the ulna forms a C-shaped bump, which is made up of both the radial notch and the trochlear notch....

Australia have been resurgent in the 50-over format, securing a 3-2 series win in India and winning the first two ODIs against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates. Head coach Justin Langer stated that it would be “crazy” not to include Smith and Warner for the World Cup. But that bodes the question, which players will make way to accommodate two of the best batsmen in the world? With Smith and Warner’s 12-month bans for their parts in the ball-tampering scandal ending this week, we look at how the return of the former captain and vice-captain could affect some of the members of the current squad....

There’s really no way around it, The Batman has a lot going on. This is a movie that lasts close to three hours, yet due to how jam-packed it is with so many murders, clues and its star-studded cast, the movie doesn’t really feel like it overstays its welcome, a feat for which Matt Reeves certainly deserves tons of praise. However, that accomplishment by itself does not necessarily translate to The Batman’s overall plot being without flaws, quite the contrary it makes the film risk stepping into The Dark Knight Rises territory, a different Batman flick hindered by overly ambitious intentions....

The duo debuted in 2008 after pulling one of their signature moves, “Twin Magic,” where they switched places with each other to win a match. After becoming multi-time champions and spearheading the women’s division, the sisters retired in 2019. However, it seems their days of impersonation are not over and certainly not limited to the ring. In an episode of America’s Got Talent, the WWE Hall of Famers auditioned as a dancing, puppet-like duo named Monique and Stefani....

Tons of new content has come with Season 3 of Warzone and Black Ops Cold War. New weapons, a new Battle Royale map, and attachment adjustments have all made their way onto the scene. The M16 itself saw the time between bursts increased by 10% and the neck damage multiplier decreased from 1.8 to 1.1. Those are some serious nerfs, but the M16 is still an extremely powerful weapon in Warzone....

The Overwatch fan base is incredibly passionate about the world and characters of the game, and this passion has been clearly shown in the fan fiction and cosplays shown off for the game in the past. However, another way that creative Overwatch fans have shown off their love for certain heroes is through skin concepts. Whether they are holiday-themed, inspired by real events, or simply just made to give heroes a cool new look, creating skin concepts has proven to be a great past time for the Overwatch community — with a few great designs standing out among the rest....

C Rick Dempsey A lack of big-time power numbers over the course of his career hurt Dempsey’s All-Star candidacies, but the 1983 World Series MVP was a strong defensive backstop, and it seems wrong that a list of All-Star catchers from the 1980s doesn’t include at least one nod for Dempsey. His best case would have been 1985, with a .737 OPS and five home runs at the break....

As three well-heeled New Yorkers of a certain age, they discover they share a woeful fate: all have been replaced in their husbands’ affections by younger trophy girlfriends. Separately, they get mad; as a team, they get even. Written by Robert (““Steel Magnolias’’) Harling and directed by Hugh (““Police Academy’’) Wilson, the comedy doesn’t have a subtle bone in its garishly clad body, but why should it? We’re here for catty one-liners, movie-star camaraderie and fur-flying vengeance, and, in spite of a regrettable wimpiness that creeps in toward the end, that’s what we get....

Solondz purges all sentimentality from his tale. No swain awaits to turn this duckling into a swan; Dawn’s torment does not serve to ennoble her. Preyed upon by the stronger and more popular, she apes their cruelty by casting her own epithets – ““retard,’’ ““faggot’’ – upon those even lower on the pecking order. The beauty of ““Welcome to the Dollhouse’’ is its pokerfaced objectivity, which neither condescends to its pubescent victim nor romantically inflates her plight....

Leading up to the launch of the action shooter, Xbox fans have had a lot to look forward to about The Ascent. The Ascent can be players both as a co-op experience and in solo mode. The time it will take to beat the game could change slightly depending on how one plays the game, because in co-op mode some of the areas/bosses may be a bit tougher. Overall, The Ascent comes in at a manageable time to beat....

Closely watching is China’s Xi Jinping, who rules the world’s most populous country with 1.4 billion people, has destroyed freedom in Hong Kong (violating a commitment to preserve “one country, two systems”), and is sorely tempted to gobble up Taiwan. To the west, it would be a wonder if India and Pakistan, two nuclear powers which are the second and fifth most populous on Earth respectively, don’t eventually go to war over Kashmir, a province that would barely move the needle for either by any metric....

The Universal and DreamWorks action-comedy directed by Pierre Perifel centers around an intelligent group of deceitful animals that attempt to become good. The incredible cast for The Bad Guys includes the voices of notable figures such as Sam Rockwell, Craig Robinson, Zazie Beetz, Lilly Singh, Marc Maron, Awkwafina, and Anthony Ramos. The animated film has already accumulated $63 million overseas, bringing its worldwide total to a satisfactory $87 million....

Real Sociedad visit San Mamés for a battle with Athletic Club, the first Basque derby for new coaches Eduardo Berizzo and Asier Garitano. Athletic Club and Real Sociedad, hailing from Spain’s northern Basque Country region, are among the most historic teams in LaLiga Santander. Between them they have 10 LaLiga titles (eight for Athletic, two for Real Sociedad), making them two of just nine teams to ever win the league championship....

As part of Matt Reeves’ revamp of the Batman universe for his solo usage, Bruce Wayne and Gotham got an extreme makeover that bears little resemblance to the aesthetic from the DCEU’s Ben Affleck era. Leading up to the film’s premiere, both Reeves and producers insisted on their desire to create the most realistic incarnation of the superhero seen so far.
