By the time Clinton returns to Washington in mid-January, a world which is pretty skeptical of his administration’s foreignpolicy competence will have a much better sense of whether the leader of the free world is up to the job. Clinton came into office, says an adviser outside the administration, hoping that his foreign-policy team could “hold the world at bay,” while he concentrated on domestic policy. The president can no longer affect such insouciance....

Shivnarine Chanderpaul. The first thing which comes to everyone’s mind on hearing this name is that weird stance. Not many remember the twenty thousand runs scored using that weird stance. In the earlier parts of his career, he was overshadowed by the Trinidadian legend and in the latter parts, by the Jamaican hulk. Rahul Dravid did become noticed, for being unnoticed. But Chanders? Never. It is staggering to think that his runs in Test matches nearly equal that of Sachin, Kallis, Greenidge, Haynes and Sunny....

Introducing YouTuber Gaming Reinvented. They had already discovered a myriad of different glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but a few days ago they discovered two more that were even more heinous than the previous ones. The “Collision Overload” glitch as it’s being dubbed, is relatively simple but rather laborious to trigger. Once it has been activated, however, Link is, for all intents and purposes, invincible....

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been confirmed as part of The Game Awards show on the night of December 1st. The news was first teased by Geoff Keighley, the organizer and host of The Game Awards, on Twitter. He tweeted the logo that appears in the game on the item known as the Sheikah Slate. [HTML1] Shortly after the initial tweet, Keighley tweeted another image of the title slate for the game, confirming that Breath of the Wild would be shown during The Game Awards....

However, as the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. comes to a close, The Legend of Zelda’s 35th anniversary begins, officially taking place in just a few days on February 21. Given Nintendo’s focus on Mario’s monumental anniversary throughout 2020 and into 2021, many fans have hoped to see a similar celebration for Zelda, with new merchandise, a new game, and/or a new collection of remasters. And now that the first full-fledged Nintendo Direct presentation in over 530 days has come and gone, a remaster of a Wii Legend of Zelda game has been announced....

Even still, cosplayer Lara Wegenaer has still managed to baffle Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild fans with her newest creation, an incredibly detailed and realistic interpretation of Mipha, the Princess of Zora. Mipha is a Zora, which, in The Legend of Zelda universe, means she is a fish-like humanoid with a number of distinctive, complicated features. For those unfamiliar with the character, however, it might be easier to show rather than tell, given the deftness with which Wegenaer was able to replicate Mipha’s look:...

It’s not unusual for people with just-diagnosed celiac disease to hear they also have mildly elevated liver enzymes, which sometimes—but not always—indicate a problem with your liver. Fortunately, once celiac disease treatment begins in the form of the gluten-free diet, these enzymes typically return to normal levels. But celiac disease also is associated with a higher risk of more serious liver conditions, ranging from fatty liver disease to severe liver failure....

Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger was the first Republican to seek Trump’s removal publicly, but he was soon followed by other GOP critics of the president. Some lawmakers have left the door open to supporting Trump’s removal if the correct circumstances arise, including Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), once a loyal defender of the president. “Here’s the truth. The president caused this. The president is unfit and the president is unwell. And the president now must relinquish control of the executive branch voluntarily or involuntarily,” Kinzinger said in a video posted to Twitter on Thursday....

CHENEY: We’ve got a lot of people who want to judge the success of the Maliki administration after some nine months in office. I think it’s a little premature. He has been direct and forthright in responding to our concerns. There is some evidence that he’s already beginning to act–for example, Iraqi forces rounding up as many as 600 members of the Jaish-al-Mahdi [Mahdi Army] in the last couple of weeks....

As for recent announcements, fans have discovered that McDonald’s will be taking part in the celebrations with its own special Pokemon 25th Anniversary Happy Meal Toys. More notably, though, these “toys” will also include special promotional trading cards, each of which can be found as a holographic. Now, while many Pokemon fans may already be excited, some older fans of the franchise have started posting their memories of what is generally considered one Pokemon’s more unique fast-food promotions: Burger King’s gold cards....

This is especially true considering the shaky ground Marvel is on with Sony, to begin with. There’s no certainty that the deal in place, which only runs for Spider-Man: No Way Home and a future unnamed MCU team-up, will be renewed. If the third Spider-Man movie is a success, as expected, and the Sony Cinematic Universe of Spider-Man-related properties continues to grow, they have no real reason to hitch their most famous character to the MCU wagon, after all....

It was there. Then it wasn’t. Last week the stock market passed a milestone: the Dow Jones industrial average closed above the 3000-point barrier for the first time. The Dow flirted with the elusive marker last summer–just before Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait sent stocks plummeting. But since October, the average has gained more than 600 points. Wednesday’s breakthrough showed the market’s renewed faith that the economy is heading out of recession....

RELATED: The Best Video Games To Play If You Love Westerns & Cowboy One such timeline lost to the books of history is the period when the American frontier was at its peak. Although these games have fictional stories, the various characters they introduce bring something that took a different route with the gameplay. One of them is the gunslinging, horse-riding cowboys who became iconic and memorable. 5 Cole Cassidy - Overwatch The 2016 team-based multiplayer first-person shooter game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment was a sensational hit and won the game of the year, beating down top contenders like Uncharted 4....

That said, the devoted Team Ico fan base marches on in the hopes that Sony will one day have more to say on The Last Guardian, either in the form of new details, a screenshots, a trailer, or even just a few words on the game. Honestly, anything is better than the non-committal answers Team Ico and Sony have been feeding over the past few months. However, while we don’t have any official news regarding The Last Guardian we do have a pretty exciting rumor....

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODxqtwkdegU#! Those gamers anxious to see what Naughty Dog has been spending their time on were treated to an impressive surprise at this year’s Comic-Con. Seeing any additional footage or details concerning The Last of Us would have gone over well, but those in attendance (and watching at home) were introduced to Bill, yet another compelling survivor in the apocalyptic wasteland the studio has chosen for its backdrop. Alongside the multiple trailers and reveals brought about at Gamescom 2012, Sony has rolled out a behind the scenes look at the raw motion capture footage that created Bill’s cinematic introduction....

[HTML2] Tie-in games can be a treacherous line to traverse. While there are exceptions to the rule, many tie-ins are seen as less-than-favorable. It is for this reason that it’s a source of excitement and cautious optimism to hear that Bayonetta developer Platinum Games is working on a game set alongside the popular Nickelodeon show, The Legend of Korra. Based on the TV show of the same name, The Legend of Korra will take the guise of a third-person brawler....

During The Last Guardian, players are actually able to unlock hidden costumes for the player character, and some of these will look very familiar for those who have played any of the classic Team Ico games. Indeed, out of the five outfits that are available for unlock, two are given a special place, based on the heroes of both Ico and Shadow of the Colossus respectively. Read on to find out how to unlock these special costumes....

But perhaps it’s actually half full. Maybe Giacometti’s attenuated metal people have something good to say about the human spirit. Could it not be-as an optimist might have it-that they’re really pushing out against nothingness, asserting their undeniable, -if vulnerable, right to exist and, metaphorically, to live and hope? Through March 15, the entire first floor of Paris’s Musee de l’Art Moderne is devoted directly to a huge Giacometti retrospective (336 sculptures, paintings and drawings) and, indirectly, to answering that question....

The Harvard team, led by Dr. Ichiro Kawachi, tracked 32,000 nonsmoking female nurses from 1982 until 1992. During the study, 127 suffered nonfatal heart attacks and 25 more had fatal ones. The researchers didn’t measure the smoke in anyone’s environment. But women who reported “occasional” exposure at the start of the study experienced 58 percent more heart-attack risk than those with no exposure and the risk was 91 percent higher among women reporting “regular” exposure....
