Neymar will have a point to prove this summer after guiding Brazil to the World Cup semi-finals on home soil four years ago, only to miss the 7-1 defeat to Germany after suffering a back injury on a challenge from Camilo Zuniga late in a quarter-final win over Colombia. The 26-year-old has only seen his profile increase over the past four years, with Neymar making a record-breaking €222 million move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain this past summer....

Desperados 3 gets most of its appeal from its freedom of experimentation, highlighted by a well-integrated quicksave system that allows players to instantly reload if they mess something up. After a minute passes since the player’s last save, a timer appears at the top of the screen, letting them know precisely how much progress they stand to lose if they make a mistake.

The three-time IPL champions are staring at an inglorious exit having brought up the rear so far, with only two wins in their kitty from eight games. On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab, under Ravichandran Ashwin’s leadership, have won five out of their seven games, slowly but surely inching towards the Play-Offs. A week off has certainly helped the likes of Chris Gayle and KL Rahul recharge their batteries and they will be aiming to come out all guns blazing at their adopted home....

Pushing pedigrees used to be reserved for the Westminster Kennel Club. But if bloodlines can help elect a president, why can’t they market movies, too? That’s why we’re now seeing Hollywood ads that rekindle memories of earlier movies-rather than selling the new offspring. “XXX,” an upcoming action movie, is being peddled as “From the director and producer of ‘The Fast and the Furious’.” “Signs,” a Mel Gibson thriller debuting this summer, is advertised as “From the writer and director of ‘The Sixth Sense’....
Since her diagnosis, Cascio has taken every opportunity to participate in clinical trials for a shot at receiving an experimental treatment that could prolong her life. Relyvrio (sodium phenylbutyrate/taurursodiol), the first new FDA-approved ALS drug in five years, offers a glimmer of hope for patients like Cascio. The drug approval has been met with skepticism because of insufficient clinical data and its sky-high price tag. But for ALS patients whose treatment options are limited, having even a slim chance of extending their lease on life may be better than nothing....
But an early set of data could present a worrying sign for Democrats, as more Democratic voters are switching parties or leaving their party than Republicans. According to December data from Nevada’s secretary of state, 2.5 times more voters switched from Democrat to Republican than the reverse, while 1.5 times more voters moved from Democrat to nonpartisan than Republicans did. Jon Ralston, widely viewed as the dean of political journalism in Nevada, flagged the four months of data for his news site, The Nevada Independent....
In an effort to bring some order to what is becoming an increasingly chaotic space, Microsoft is launching a new content browser.

However, rather than make any meaningful fixes to Trials of Osiris gameplay, Bungie has only addressed loot distribution in the mode, while suggesting that balance changes may be in the works. Still, Destiny players want to see Trials of Osiris get better and fairer, so here are a few changes we think could facilitate that. 1. Change Spawns Mid-Match Although many of the maps used in Trials of Osiris have been symmetrical in concept, few are truly equal....
Now, a new Destiny raid team has stepped forward to stake their own claim on the “coolest Destiny feat we’ve seen” title by getting through the entire Crota’s End raid without firing a single bullet. Watch as the team goes from The Abyss to Crota, and see all the creative ways they try to avoid using their weaponry. Given that this team’s rules required not firing weapons, it seemed obvious that the Crota’s End fireteam would be comprised entirely of Titans....

While on social media, Xur offered Destiny players a first look at some of The Taken King’s new exotic weapons and armor pieces, many of which he will sell, or will at least have the potential of selling. It’s true that Xur has taken quite the beating as of late for a lack of variety – expect for Gjallarhorn week, of course! – but those reveals seemed to have the Destiny fan base interested in the Agent of the Nine once again....

In the current week’s Grandmaster Nightfall, some players have found a new way to cheese the Destiny 2 strike Arms Dealer in order to make the ending breeze by with little effort. It’s possible to even solo what is ordinarily an elongated fight now, which makes it strange that this strike from so early in the game’s lifespan is still having new cheeses discovered.

Nightfall Solstice Key Farm The first method will see Destiny 2 players collect around 150 Key Fragments per hour, but it will require a fireteam and some effort. While most every activity from Crucible matches, strikes, public events, and even patrols give Key Fragments, the activity that gives the most for a completion is a Nightfall. Completing a Nightfall gives somewhere between 23 to 28 Key Fragments per run. RELATED: Destiny 2: Where to Find the Prismatic Taken In the European Aerial Zone...

Loaded Question is probably the weakest of the three pinnacle weapons newly added to Destiny 2, but like the others, it offers a unique perk that isn’t seen on other fusion rifles. That perk is Reservoir Burst, which gives Loaded Question a version of the Dragonfly perk—but only under certain circumstances. The Reservoir Burst perk makes it so that when the fusion rifle has a full magazine (a.k.a the battery is fully charged), the next shot will do additional damage and causes enemies to explode upon death....
