[HTML4] It’s time to play catch-up on a few key games that are releasing later this year and share some fun newsbits for some of our recent favorites. Let’s take look a real-life Minecraft sword Portal cake, very slow Minecraft Karting, the most variable game console ever created, the science behind BioShock Infinite, time-appropriate extras for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and some confirmed release dates (including Deadpool). Read on for the details and a few more stories....

The Left will assert that America is a terrible country whose defining moment was the introduction of slavery. Most Americans will see that as a racist definition of history in its own right and will continue to believe in the exceptionalism created in 1776 by the Declaration of Independence and implemented in 1787 by the Constitution. This debate is being created by The New York Times’ determination to replace its failed crusade about President Trump and Russia with a new effort to define President Trump as a racist—and racism as the greatest problem in America....

The visual of the presidential couple being greeted enthusiastically by more than 100,000 cheering people in India’s largest soccer stadium was so much more impactful than the shrinking respect and declining seriousness of the Democrats’ squabbling. It may be my age or my partisan bias, but Senator Bernie Sanders seems as if he repeats his mantra again and again. At any given time, he’s attacking Israel, defending Cuban dictators, proposing to take away everyone’s private health insurance, announcing new programs that would cost $10 trillion to $70 trillion dollars and explaining everything could be paid for by taxing the rich....

Then I saw a USA Today article which captured my response perfectly—and my feeling was reinforced, because it was articulated by a friend with whom I have worked on criminal justice reform, Van Jones. Before noting that he wanted a Democrat in the White House, Jones told USA Today, “Democrats have to do better than what we saw tonight. There was nothing I saw tonight that would be able to take Donald Trump out....

Independence Day commemorates not just an American revolution but a revolution in the relationship between people and their government. Most of human history has been a story of the powerful controlling, dominating, and exploiting the weak. Even today, in Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and North Korea, the old models still exist. In the communist dictatorship of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping is imposing 21st century totalitarianism with a level of surveillance and control which surpasses even the worst nightmares of George Orwell....

This leak comes courtesy of Reddit user RWeav2, who revealed the name of Destiny’s next expansion to be Rise of Iron. RWeav2 also described the cover of the expansion as featuring a Titan holding a “giant flaming two handed axe,” with a pack of wolves surrounding him. Understandably, Reddit users were a bit skeptical about RWeav2’s claims. However, he then provided evidence to back up his claims, posting what appears to be a photo of the Rise of Iron cover, or maybe concept art of the expansion....

A new stream in Bungie’s ongoing “Ride Along” series will take place next week, as developers play through Wrath of the Machine and give some behind-the-scenes info. Bungie has some questions it’s ready to answer: The stream will take place next Wednesday; however, an exact time has yet to be announced. Fans can catch the Wrath of the Machine Ride Along on Bungie’s Twitch channel. Though past streams have proven worth watching, newcomers should be aware that the Ride Along streams do not include any major announcements....

Those who follow Fortnite closely likely know that Mustard has a reputation for teasing crossovers, events, and the like via his social media account. His reputation precedes him in this matter, as many think that his recent cover photo change to that of Doctor Doom suggests a crossover is coming to the game, and it certainly may. For anyone else, this innocuous change would be just that, but because it is Mustard, it would still make sense to be Fortnite-related....

Perhaps the bigger news was that Harrison Ford himself would indeed be returning as Indiana Jones, making it his fifth time playing the role in a feature film. The first time Ford played the role of Indiana Jones, he was about 39 years old, and he is now 78. That’s nearly 40 years of playing this one particular character, which is quite the achievement, even with the large gap of time in between the various films....

‘The Big 3’ of the tennis world have won 56 Grand Slams in the last 17 years. The trio have aged like fine wine, as they have not let any other player win a Major over the last three seasons. Stan Wawrinka was the last man outside this group to lift a Grand Slam trophy, a feat he achieved when he beat Novak Djokovic in the US Open 2016 final....

The system, which will start during the first quarter of 2018, will amount to a monthly stipend divided between creators on the site. Each month, Nexus Mods plans to pay between $5,000 - $10,000 into the system. That money will then be divided between the site’s creators based on how many unique downloads their mods accrued during that month, and paid out in Donation Points (DP), with 1,000 DP equivalent to $1....

The Brazilian scored his 18th Ligue 1 goal of the season with a superb free-kick as PSG won 3-0 at Lille on Saturday to move 11 points clear atop the table. PSG are also through to the final of the Coupe de la Ligue and face Sochaux in the Coupe de France on Tuesday, remaining on track to win an unprecedented quadruple. But the world’s most expensive player is already beginning to focus on a crunch clash against Madrid, who have won the Champions League two years running, with the first leg held on February 14 in the Spanish capital....

The 22-year-old left Brazil officially for 57.1 million euros, although figures released by the Catalans last month suggest they forked out 86.2 million euros for the summer transfer. Current Santos chief Odilio Rodrigues has been extremely critical of Neymar's father for pocketing 40 million euros of his son's transfer fee and the club has started legal proceedings to see the documents behind Barca's agreement with the forward's father. Former club president Luis Alvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro (commonly referred to as LAOR) chipped in by branding the man "a jerk" on Wednesday, saying it was right to take "people like him" to court....

The Brazil superstar is recovering in his homeland from a fractured foot suffered in a 3-0 Ligue 1 win against rivals Marseille last month. Neymar was reportedly a possible doubt for the World Cup as a result of the injury, with the 26-year-old also sustaining an ankle sprain. But Emery believes Neymar is closing in on a return to the pitch, although Saturday’s Coupe de la Ligue final against Monaco will come too soon....

Very often, he streams his CS: GO games on Twitch, and from what we’ve seen, he’s actually good at the game. A friendly Halloween spook for Neymar In a recent Twitch stream, Neymar was streaming Sign of Silence, a co-op horror game developed and published by Renderise. As part of the Halloween celebrations, the Brazil star had decorated his room in the festive theme, giving it a perfect look while streaming the game....

Brazil international Neymar scored his side’s fourth goal in their 4-0 Ligue 1 victory over Angers at Parc des Princes on Saturday. The 27-year-old has four goals in his five league appearances this season, all of which have come since the transfer window closed without him having secured a move away from the club. Neymar was keen to return to Spain and former club Barcelona, although a transfer never materialised, and has been booed by PSG supporters for a perceived lack of commitment to the Ligue 1 champions....

The 25-year-old Brazil international has sustained a slight foot problem, but while he will miss the weekend’s Ligue 1 encounter, Goal understands he will be available to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday. Montpellier 5/1 to draw with PSG Since making a world record €222 million move from Barcelona to the Ligue 1 giants, he has been an ever present in their starting XI, scoring five times and creating as many in just six outings....

They’re talked about so frequently because of their immense talent, that there’s a shorthand for bringing them up in conversation. Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffery certainly qualifies as a member of that elite group of athletes. Instead of referring to him by his full name, Panthers fans, NFL enthusiasts and fantasy football owners simply call him CMC. NFL: CMC’s stellar career so far Since being selected eighth overall by the Panthers in the 2017 NFL Draft, CMC has been the gold standard for running backs in the NFL....
