The problem with writing about Coventry City, as I did in last week’s summer recap, is that it’s easy to underestimate how incredibly dysfunctional the club currently is. Rumours keep swirling that Coventry could still return to the Ricoh Arena in time for the new season, and within the last week the local paper has reported that ACL, the ground’s owners, have offered to allow Coventry City to pay rent of £150,000 a year....

He has paid sorely for his political passions. Despite his underground status, Guo was never imprisoned and his illness–diagnosed in the ’70s as schizophrenia–has clinical, not political origins. Still, he felt the barb of Jiang Qing’s ire; she denounced his work as “unhealthy” in 1970. Soon afterward, Guo became depressed and delusional; his family agreed to stints of institutional care. Guo’s breakdown, friends believe, was partly triggered by the chaos that consumed his youth....

For parents of disabled children, every “routine” milestone reached is a miracle, bringing with it excitement, joy and, at least in this case, a small degree of trepidation. And this particular miracle will seem unusual to many readers because of its source. It was planted by the social activism of special-needs parents in the 1960s and 1970s. Its roots grew from special-education legislation. And its cultivation can be attributed in large part to the hard work and dedication of publicly funded educators, as well as parents and others who care....

The Mandalorian takes place after Episdoe VI: Return of the Jedi and before Episode VII: The Force Awakens, so the show has a lot of room for storytelling because there’s a huge time difference between both films. This is also what makes the show well receieved, as there is plenty of room for things to happen that don’t interfere with the most recent storyline from the movies. As of now, all the Star Wars shows that have been coming out have been avoided going too far into the future....

Mandalorian fans who also watched the latest season of Stranger Things recalled the show’s big bad also being dubbed a “Mind Flayer,” although that reference to D&D was even more overt. Mike and his friends, being avid players, gave the big bad its name after directly comparing it to Dungeons & Dragons’ famous monster. RELATED: Dungeons and Dragons: How To Design a Campaign In Dungeons & Dragons, Mind Flayers (or Ilithid, as they can also be called) are a fearsome race of intelligent creatures with spindly bodies, a face full of tentacles, and strong psychic powers; not only do entire colonies of them remain connected through a hive mind run by the Elder Brain, but they’re also known for devouring the brains of people they encounter....

Nintendo has taken an interesting direction with the Master Sword in Breath of the Wild, so many are speculating on the fate of the franchise staple weapon. Back in 2019, Nintendo released a teaser trailer announcing Breath of the Wild 2 to be in development, which prominently featured Link wielding the Master Sword in an encounter with the mummified corpse of what people presume to be Ganondorf. Meanwhile, the newest gameplay trailer from E3 2021 shows Link’s new abilities, but most intriguingly that Link is not carrying the sword....

We already know Tiger Woods won’t be participating in the 2017 Masters, but there are still intriguing questions entering this year’s tournament. Will Dustin Johnson be able to play through a back injury? Will 2016 Masters winner Danny Willett pull off another monumental upset and claim his second straight green jacket, or will Jordan Spieth avenge last year’s final-round collapse? Here is everything you need to know to get ready for the 2017 Masters, including odds to win, Thursday’s tee times, and pairings for the first two rounds....

The solution to breaking the code to the bunker door falls under the password trope of birthdays and wedding anniversaries. To find the puzzle solution, players must first enter the side room directly across from the bunker entrance. RELATED: The Medium Has A Surprising Connection to Observer In this room, players will find a locker that is chained shut, and a paper receipt on the desk next to it. To open the locker, simply interact with it and select the bolt cutters that were obtained near the start of The Medium’s campaign....

Maligned all over the internet for only having a couple of jab step moves up his sleeve on isolation possessions these days, he is a far cry from the scoring machine that he was for a large chunk of his career with the Nuggets and the New York Knicks. Talent is not enough to win championships in the league. It takes sacrifice and a willingness to be coached and play different styles of basketball, getting out of one’s comfort zone while doing so - none of which Melo has conceivably been successful at....

New York City FC’s impressive unbeaten run to start the season came to an end in Portland, Seattle’s winless streak to begin 2018 also ran its course, as did Osvaldo Alonso’s absence from the starting lineup. The New York Red Bulls’ home dominance was halted by the Chicago Fire, while Los Angeles FC ended its season-opening six-match road trip with its fourth victory. Not every streak came to an end in MLS action....

It was a great day for the league despite the decisions of multiple teams to rest starters in an effort to save energy ahead of a short week. The LA Galaxy, D.C. United, Montreal Impact and Philadelphia Union all rested key player and, as you might expect, none of the four closed out the season with a win. Red Bulls look like MLS title favorites The Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC didn’t have that luxury in their final regular season matches, but what they missed out on in potential rest was replaced with momentum, as both delivered impressive, confidence-boosting victories....

It wasn’t always pretty and got particularly feisty in Toronto, where the TFC-Red Bulls clash saw the kind of tension and emotion we have come to expect from the MLS playoffs. New York City FC helped provide plenty of drama by nearly pulling off a momentous three-goal comeback, only for the Columbus Crew to muster enough energy to hold on and keep their dream run going. And then you had the Houston Dynamo, who used a patchwork defense to knock off a Portland Timbers side that couldn’t overcome an overwhelming rash of injuries to maintain their top seed in the West....

The number of exoplanets exceeded 5,000 on March 21 when 65 new worlds were added to the NASA Exoplanet Archive. The archive records exoplanet discoveries that appear in peer-reviewed, scientific papers, confirmed using multiple detection methods or by analytical techniques. Some are like nothing found within our solar system. The feat is even more impressive considering the fact that until the early to mid-nineties we had yet to discover a planet outside our solar system....

1. Kansas City Library Kansas City, Missouri Along the south wall of this parking garage’s exterior, visitors are treated to what looks like a huge shelf of books. The building originally served as a bank, which is readily apparent when the library has screenings in its Vault Theater, inside an actual 1925 bank vault. 2. Biblioteca Vasconcelos Mexico City, Mexico Known as the mega library, the interior of this library is more akin to a massive storage facility than a library....

The Last Guardian was a collaborative effort between genDESIGN and Japan Studio, headed by director and designer Fumito Ueda. The game was originally intended to be released on the PS3, but suffered numerous production delays. genDESIGN was formed as a result of the troubled production with Fumito Ueda still at the helm, and the project was pushed back to a release on the PS4. Luckily, the game was released and was praised for its art direction and the depiction of the intense bond shared by the two main characters, Trico and the boy....

This Last of Us 2 fan art comes courtesy of Reddit user Paigeth, and it is made in a hand-drawn style that makes it look like a page from Ellie’s journal. While fans have already recreated the character’s diary in the real world, this special page would make a fine addition to it. While the art looks incredible on its own, those that have an appreciation for the game should love it even more, as it is comprised entirely of meaningful props from the game....

Emilia Schatz is the lead gameplay designer at Naughty Dog, the studio behind The Last of Us Part II. During her time working on Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, she said that the team had “a very simple plan” in regards to the game’s accessibility features. Some of these features included various camera assists, features that helped with aiming, and an option that allowed for players to switch quick-time-events (QTE) to a button hold rather than a button tap....
