In a new post over at the Blizzard Forums, Overwatch principal designer Geoff Goodman followed up on his earlier comments about Bastion getting a buff by revealing a number of upcoming balance changes for both of the character’s modes. For Bastion’s Recon Mode - where he is able to run around - the robot’s bullet spread will be lowered and magazine size will be increased in order to “help with general viability....
Blizzard was not kidding when it said that Bastion was getting a rework. The Bastion rework in Overwatch 2 is significant, making sweeping changes to how the character functions and removing some of his abilities. These changes may make Bastion feel like a completely different character almost, but that may be what Blizzard is going for. After all, Bastion has long been controversial in Overwatch, so perhaps these changes will make him a more welcomed character by the game’s community....
Divock Origi was one of the stars of the show for Liverpool on Wednesday as the Premier League leaders thrashed Merseyside rivals Everton 5-2 at Anfield. Origi, who scored twice in the first half, now has five goals against the Toffees – ranking him second behind Robbie Fowler and Steven Gerrard in the Premier League era. Jurgen Klopp elected to start Origi instead of Roberto Firmino, and Robertson lauded his team-mate - who was vital in Liverpool’s dramatic win over Barcelona in the Champions League last season and also scored in the final - as a player for the big games....
Technically, the new Diablo release is broken into two different versions. One is GOG’s updated, Windows-compatible version with scaling resolution support. This version is solely the single-player version of Diablo. For those who want to play Diablo online via Battle.net, a classic version of the Diablo client is available. “Classic” is somewhat of a misnomer, however. This old client doesn’t have scaling resolution and it’s limited to 20 frames-per-second....
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer revealed that the original plan for the AEW World Championship at All Out was to have Hangman Page challenging Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship but plans had to be changed with his wife about to give birth: The Cleaner has been AEW World Champion since December 2020, swatting aside all challengers since. However, Christian beat Omega for the IMPACT World Championship on the debut episode of AEW Rampage this past Friday....
While it has been years since the last Sly Cooper game was released, fans have continued to express their interest in the franchise over the years all the way to the latest anniversary. For this anniversary, Sucker Punch revealed two things to celebrate the milestone, the first of which was a brand-new poster made by the original Sly Cooper Art Director, Dev Madan. Madan worked as the Art Director and Character Designer for the first three Sly Cooper games and made the poster as a tribute to the first game for its 20th anniversary....
This will be the first meeting of the regular season between the two sides in which the visitors desperately need a win. The hosts are heading into the game on the back of a five-game unbeaten streak, in which they have scored 10 goals and conceded five.

Osaka took full advantage as Williams, her idol, battled with the officials over a number of violations that saw her docked a game and had the 23-time grand slam champion choking back the tears in the second set. The 20-year-old’s subsequent 6-2 6-4 victory proved unpopular as the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, who jeered the beginning of the trophy presentation, were angered by the treatment towards Williams. And having been comforted by the American great, Osaka apologised to the fans and thanked Williams in an emotional speech....
Chelsea also added the likes of Eden Hazard to the team to give them more creativity. Oscar caught the eye of everyone with his two wonder-strikes in minutes against Buffon of Juventus in a Champions League game. Mata, Oscar, Hazard were combining so well with each other, the fans started calling the “Mazacar”. They were causing a lot of problems for opponents. Next year Jose Mourinho arrived at the bridge for a second stint at his beloved club....

The Big 12 will discuss the issue at next week’s conference meetings in Las Colinas, Texas, conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby confirmed to SportsDay. MORE: Best of 2015 season | Sooners need more than Mayfield, but it’s a great start The point of discussion is whether Mayfield should be held to the Big 12 rule that states transfers lose a year of eligibility after transferring from another school within the conference; Mayfield left Texas Tech in 2013, sat out the 2014 season at OU and took over as the Sooners’ starting quarterback in 2015....
There are many differences between Britain’s experience in Iraq and America’s current course. But there is a distinct danger that what we are witnessing in Iraq could turn the national mood against the United States. Recent polls suggest that Iraqis remain tolerant of, though not happy with, American forces in their country. But that support is clearly waning. Images of America’s massive operations in Fallujah have generated anti-American sentiment across Iraq....
Yet a piece of me, of my human nature, still imagines our President will change—that on that stage he will rise to the occasion and show us with constancy that he gets the gravity of this moment, shedding the daily conceits and deceits—and lead. But he has not. And over the course of his presidency he has proven he will not. So stop imagining leadership where it is not. And, instead, recognize where it is—all around us....
Les Bleus won their second title in Moscow as Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe starred and scored in a 4-2 win over Croatia. However, France were without Benzema, who has not played for his country since 2015, having been investigated in relation to an alleged attempt to blackmail his international team-mate Mathieu Valbuena. But the Real Madrid star was still among those to revel in France’s victory....
Part of the reason for the warm embrace from fans is the multitude of build options for each of Outriders’ four classes. As players level up, they unlock class points which can then be spent on various skills and stat buffs. Players won’t earn a class point every time they level up, so it can be a little awkward to plan builds while playing through the game. RELATED: Outriders Has a Unique Reference to Dragon Age...
