Marvel Comics were more than happy to flood their pages with direct and undisguised ad copy for the military. Captain America’s comic book presence featured plenty of commercials for war bonds while also serving to keep morale high at home. However, the cultural view of both Marvel and the military has changed a lot since 1941.

The Match 4 was a back-and-forth affair early on, and was even tied after nine holes. But DeChambeau and Rodgers pulled away on the back nine, winning three consecutive holes to give themselves a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. They guaranteed victory on Hole 16 after going up by three. DeChambeau played well enough, but Rodgers was particularly good during this contest: He drove the ball well — so well, in fact, the pairing chose to use Rodgers’ tee shot on six of seven holes....

Reeves recently appeared on an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and as things tend to shake out on national television these days, the discussion eventually shifted to the subject of memes. As Colbert moved the conversation to cover BRZRKR, Reeves’ new foray into the comic book world, the host used the opportunity to bring up the famous “Sad Keanu” meme from the internet’s days of yore. A panel from the comic book appeared to resemble that classic image of a seemingly dejected Reeves sitting on a bench, and The Matrix 4 star himself had some amusing comebacks....

How times change. The fallout from the Iraq war has revealed the BBC and the government as sworn enemies. The corporation’s journalists stand accused of a new affinity for tabloid journalism–bias, sloppy reporting habits and factual errors. They’re fighting back, but the charges have cost Auntie the nation’s confidence. A recent poll reports that more than 30 percent of Britons say their trust in the BBC has fallen. And as for Prime Minister Tony Blair, so for the BBC: credibility is the foundation of its authority....

New York’s emergence in the ’20s as the world’s cultural arbiter is an old story. But to read Terrible Honesty: Mongrel Manhattan in the 1920s (606 pages. Farrar Straus Giroux. $25), cultural historian Ann Douglas’s absorbing account of the period, is to understand for the first time how it happened. Her investigation takes her from Freud to Charles Lindbergh, from Hemingway to the songs of Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle, from the dirt-dishing Walter Winchell to Manhattan’s skyscrapers....

Who better to deliver the perfect heart-stopping ending to the wildest final day of the regular season in MLS history? Who better than Chris Wondolowski to lay off the stoppage-time assist to help the Earthquakes return to the MLS playoffs for the first time since 2012? San Jose’s triumph ended a drought, but also ended FC Dallas’ season much sooner than anybody could have imagined just a few months ago....

The Seattle Sounders are hitting their stride at the perfect moment, and also getting healthy just in time to face a TFC side boasting a collection of talent like we have never before seen in MLS. Make no mistake, both teams are stronger than they were a year ago when the Sounders captured their first MLS Cup title, and we’re shaping up to see a much more entertaining final this time around as a result....

That said, there are a fair number of unpopular choices available in all three games, let alone just one, ranging from “painfully pragmatic” to “just plain evil.” Right now, however, it’s looking like one of the most “just plain evil” decisions from Dragon Age 2 could very well come back to haunt players who decided to go for a more sinister sort of playthrough.

RELATED: Consoles That Were More Expensive Than The PS5 & Xbox Series X At Launch (& Consoles That Were Much Cheaper) Over the last decade or so, there has been a huge increase in the number of games costing more than $50m to develop, and that’s before marketing and promotional costs are taken into account. While most of these titles do manage to turn a profit, some of the figures involved can be truly mind-blowing and offer a lot of insight into the sheer scale of the games industry as well as how competitive it really is....

For the moment, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is the big-name Naughty Dog sequel that fans are clamoring for more information about — but an intriguing bit of information stowed away on the LinkedIn profile of one of the studio’s former character artists seems to suggest that The Last of Us 2 might be on its way as well. Michael Knowland is currently a senior character artist at Avalanche Studios, working on recently unveiled Just Cause 3....

This is the beginning of Elizabeth Hardwick’s 1973 essay “Writing a Novel.” You’ll never find a more intimate account of what it’s like inside a writer’s head—nor a better example of what David Laskin, in his book “Partisans: Marriage, Politics and Betrayal Among the New York Intellectuals,” called Hardwick’s “confident, frankly personal, but unconfiding prose.” She began to lead this life as a novelist. But her 1945 debut, “The Ghostly Lover,” led Philip Rahv, co-editor of Partisan Review, to invite her to write for what was then America’s most influential political and cultural journal—despite a peak circulation of about 15,000....

In the preview, players were shown new gameplay and story details for The Last of Us 2. However, one of the biggest shocks in the trailer is the appearance of the first game’s primary protagonist Joel, who has been absent in previous trailers. While Joel’s reveal is something worth celebrating for fans of the first game, the timing of his appearance and the way it was shown during the trailer seems pretty vague and opens the question whether Joel is actually alive, or is he now a figment of Ellie’s imagination?...

Their attention to small details and Easter eggs provides a wonderful and worthwhile experience to their gamers.

However, the first edition ended in suspense with no clarity on what happened to Ellie or Joel....

In an interview with Game Informer, Creative Director Neil Druckmann and Narrative Lead Halley Gross both commented on the process that led to building The Last of Us Part 2’s story and the ending. Of course, considering how much this new discussion comments on the overall story and the game’s ending, there will be Major Story Spoilers to follow.

Upon being announced, many drew comparisons between this upcoming adaptation and AMC’s long-running post-apocalyptic horror, The Walking Dead. Both shows are set in a neo-western dystopian America overrun by a legion of zombies and are centered around traumatized people who are doing their best to survive and protect their surrogate families. But The Last of Us shouldn’t take its cues from The Walking Dead – instead, it should be inspired by the work of its other co-showrunner: Craig Mazin....

The Rams punter, maybe the best to ever drop a football onto his foot before kicking it a long way, isn’t due to hit a good punt. No, that happens basically every time he carries out his job. Hekker is due to throw a pass. He’s potentially the greatest fake-punt passer at his position ever, and yet he hasn’t thrown yet in 2020 through 10 weeks. Hekker’s former special teams coach, John Fassel, told The Ringer in 2019 that Hekker would much rather throw than punt....
