Now, that’s exactly where they’re staying. CC Sabathia became the latest pitcher to put New York in an early hole as rookie manager Aaron Boone again stuck with his starter too long, and the Yankees fell just short of extending their season Tuesday night with a 4-3 loss to the rival Boston Red Sox in Game 4 of their AL Division Series. “That’s the one team that you don’t want to lose to,” outfielder Brett Gardner said....
About a month ago, Blizzard drastically changed the way Roadhog plays in Overwatch by cutting his damage by about a third. Essentially, this made it far more difficult if not outright impossible for Roadhog players to land one-hit kills by pulling weaker enemies in with their hook. Playing as the character was built around this hook and Scrap Gun combo, so taking that away meant Roadhog mains had to learn how to play the character much differently, and that in turn made him a far less viable option for any given team composition....

According to player reports, the bug is triggered when players unlock a certain achievement that will kick them out of a level and back to the main menu.

It was pointed out on Reddit by user DinoDracko that the Overwatch Ice Wraith Genji skin has a unique trait. When Genji players are deflecting with Genji’s sword, one of the ice tips on the sword lines up with the crosshair. This doesn’t seem like that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but it does apparently give Genji players with the Ice Wraith skin a slight advantage against certain heroes in the game....

It boasts an aesthetically pleasing design, letting the users see the insides at work through a tempered-glass side, and offering RGB control through Corsair’s iCue software....
That being said, it feels inevitable Nintendo will follow up Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with something, even if Sakurai is not involved. The franchise has long been one of its best-selling and an easy hype generator thanks to the prospect of new fighters. Nintendo could shake things up with something like a traditional fighting game rather than another Smash Bros., but even if it moves on the original characters and bosses introduced across its 22 years shouldn’t disappear....
