While many have grown attached to Abby, a vocal minority despise the character for her role in The Last of Us 2’s most controversial scene. When the plot leaked for the game, many built up a grudge against Abby before they even saw her story play out, with a focused group of gamers doing everything they could to make their hatred for her known. This included the review bombing of The Last of Us 2, harassment of several developers, and, unfortunately, death threats directed at Laura Bailey herself....

Primarily, “Long Long Time” adds more texture to the characters of Bill (Nick Offerman, Devs) and Frank (Murray Bartlett, The White Lotus). However, Episode 3 serves many other compelling, practical, and artistic purposes, too. In multi-year increments, it smartly chronicles the 20 years that have passed since the night of the Outbreak. It illustrates yet another story of love, and of how we love under such brutal circumstances. And it reiterates that the Infected — no matter how impressively they’re rendered — aren’t the most gripping part of The Last of Us....

7:15 p.m. Atlantic City’s Golden Nugget casino will become the sixth in New Jersey to offer sports betting. State Division of Gaming Enforcement Director David Rebuck says he has approved the Golden Nugget to begin offering on-premises sports betting Wednesday morning. The Golden Nugget will take its first sports bet about 90 minutes before Resorts opens its in-person sports betting operation. Resorts already offers online and mobile sports betting....

But there is a threat to Ukrainian freedom that exists outside of their borders and even further outside of their control. Despite initial support of Ukraine, Republicans in Congress are turning increasingly against the Ukrainian fight for its independence and survival. And if they gain power in November, a Republican majority in the House can stop their momentum—and with it, hopes for democracies world-wide. Look no further than Kevin McCarthy’s recent statements where he equates Ukrainian aid—which is stemming the Russian invasion and limiting the brutal massacres of Ukrainian women and children—to nothing more than a “free blank check....

It was no less an authority than Carl Sandburg, the poet and Lincoln biographer (Lincoln, the hero, not Lincoln the great trial lawyer of his era), who declaimed that no tears are shed as the lawyer’s body is borne to the grave. Attacking lawyers is more American than apple pie, which frankly is suspect in some quarters now that the lawyers have begun litigating over Alar. Jimmy Carter assailed the profession in 1978 for high costs, judicial delays and an emphasis on serving the privileged few....

The latest study from the Kaiser Family Foundation’s COVID Vaccine Monitor reported that uninsured people under the age of 65 were the most reluctant to get the vaccine, with just 54 percent of those surveyed saying they had had at least one dose. In this group, 18 percent said they would “definitely not” and 11 percent said they would only have the shot if required to do so. Nearly a quarter of Republicans (23 percent) also said they definitely would not be vaccinated, with 8 percent saying they would do so if required by their employer....

RELATED: Great PC Games To Play If You Like The Legend Of Zelda Series Finding secret locations is not always about just getting to a spot few others have. In the Zelda series, it’s very common to find special items or unique events in these hard-to-reach spots. Sometimes it’s a Heart Piece, and sometimes it’s a new Bottle, but either way, it’s nice to be rewarded for exploration – especially in a pretty linear game like this....

Logitech is among the most reputable computer peripheral companies that have ever existed. The company has been focusing on creating mice, keyboards, audio devices, and other peripherals for PC users since the 1980s. It was also one of the first companies to consider gamers an important subset of consumers, to which it wanted to dedicate entire product lines.

The Universal Title, the RAW, and SmackDown Women’s Championships were introduced during the 2016 brand extension. With such an extensive roster, the performers of both RAW and SmackDown were able to chase a title. Names like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair have all held championships since the 2016 split. Here are the WWE stars with the longest title reigns since the 2016 roster split. #8 The RAW Tag Team Championship - The Street Profits, 223 days Once Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins joined the main roster, it seemed like it would take some time for the duo to make an impact....

By allowing more than 2 million gamers to become ax slingers without the years of practice involved, Guitar Hero has become a cultural phenomenon. Technically, you are not creating music by pushing buttons on the fret board of the game controller (which button to push is dictated by similarly colored dots that scroll on your screen at higher and higher speeds). Hitting the right button at the right time simply unlocks music that real guitarists created using real guitars....

Same goes for Oscar clotheshorses. Winona Ryder went flapper. Susan Sarandon dyed her hair copper to match her gown (or was it vice versa?). Mira Sorvino donned Armani to accept her best-supporting-actress statuette. But leave it to Stone to cause a couture commotion. Two designers–Valentino and Vera Wang-had made dresses for her, but her basic instinct said comfort. She donned an old, $22 turtleneck from the Gap. Hey, that’s what we wear!...

But one company is trying to revive the species—or at least something resembling it—and the scientist at the head of the project envisions thousands of these animals roaming the Arctic. Colossal Biosciences is a start-up launched by tech entrepreneur Ben Lamm and renowned geneticist George Church that is aiming to resurrect the woolly mammoth, or more accurately to create a genetically engineered Asian elephant that will be cold-resistant and have all the core biological traits of its extinct relative....

Construction on the Galaxy’s Edge theme parks began four years after Disney acquired Lucasfilm, with both venues officially opening to the public by the end of summer 2019. Occupying 14 acres of land in each park, Galaxy’s Edge transports visitors to a village located on the remote planet of Batuu and features multiple attractions, shops, restaurants, and iconography from the Star Wars mythos. However, the decision to canonically set the events of Galaxy’s Edge in between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker has resulted in certain limitations for the venues, including an inability for children to meet iconic characters such as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, not to mention the fact that several characters from the “Rise of the Resistance” attraction have been killed off in the films....

Those are Hall of Fame numbers, of course. But that doesn’t account for the impact, the aura of Mickey Mantle. You say Mays was better? Maybe. DiMaggio? Could be. Snider? Hmmm. A few years ago Bill James, the guru of postmodern baseball statistics, analyzed parameters, vectors and paradigms and concluded that Mantle was in fact the greatest of all center fielders. It was a surprising conclusion. But Mantle’s stats are the most ambiguous, one might say the most metaphysical, in baseball....

This is something that the MCU tried to achieve with the Avengers. There’s a lot of talk in Avengers: Endgame (particularly from Natasha Romanoff) about how the Avengers are like a family, and the events of Endgame are supposed to be a sort of farewell to this family being together. It’s the end of an epic saga about this chosen family and their deep love for and connection to each other…except for when it isn’t....

Many of these firms were attracted by Mercosur, the regional trading bloc led by Argentina and Brazil. With the Argentine economy in a tailspin, Mercosur’s prospects suddenly look very bleak, and foreign investment in Brazil has quickly declined. Without these funds Brazil’s external deficit has become unsustainable, and the country’s currency–the real–has weakened significantly, trading at 38 cents U.S., down from 56 cents at the end of 2000. Since a large fraction of Brazil’s debt is in U....
