HBO released the official The Last of Us trailer, marking it as the second trailer for the series debuting on January 15. The trailer is filled with moments that fans recognize from the games, although there is more than meets the eye here, as some fans were able to spot Baker in a role that is very much the opposite of his Joel counterpart, which is sure to bring some mind-blowing interactions between Baker’s mysterious character, Ellie, and Joel in the later half of The Last of Us....

He buzzes me in through the front door and I climb three silent flights of stairs. The silence tells me this is a childless establishment. Children do not figure in BB’s world except as victims, rejects, pawns in an appalling power-game. But immediately I have to make an adjustment: BB is not Quirke, the troubled and troubling hero of BB’s first novel, “Christine Falls.” For all I know BB may be a pipe-smoking family man in carpet slippers and a Fair Isle jumper....
But Id Software co-founder John Carmack thinks he has a solution. He believes that the most effective way to combat scalping is for Sony and Microsoft to cut out the middleman and auction their PlayStation and Xbox consoles directly to the public.

During an appearance Friday on the Dan Patrick Show, Kasich said the Monday after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday. MORE: Sports owners have wasted so much money on failed campaigns It’s an opinion that has been brought up many times before, but no one seems to want to actually take the steps to make it happen. Barack Obama is a huge sports fan, and even he hasn’t put forth the motions to make this happen....
For the past thirty years, his name has been synonymous with the National Football League (NFL), given that it has been attached to all of their officially licenced games. For those who want a true simulation experience, with up-to-date playbooks and teams, authentic commentary, and the ability to play as real life athletes, there is simply no alternative to the Madden NFL franchise. The Electronic Arts (EA) series has been going strong ever since 1988, when John Madden Football was released for the Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS)....
The Camels were on the verge of leaving the Teddy Stadium with maximum points before Erik Sabo popped up with an equaliser at the death.

Ben Sahar gave Barak Bakhar’s side the lead in the 63rd minute after Michael Seroshtan had received his marching orders moments earlier....
The HBO late-night host took particular issue with Carlson’s outburst about a Sesame Street educational special on race last week. Following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent mass protests across the country, the beloved children’s show aired a town hall in collaboration with CNN, to explain the events to children and to offer a kid-friendly explanation of racism. However, Carlson did not appreciate the sentiment, and said it was teaching children that, “America is a very bad place, and it’s all your fault so no matter what happens, no matter what they do to you when you grow up, you have no right to complain....
Short story: Spano lied his way into owning the team for several months. He was praised by the league (and commissioner Gary Bettman) as the franchise's savior, then was exposed and wound up doing jail time. It was disgraceful, amazing and, in plenty of ways, impressive. He doesn't have many regrets—and his hilariously horrible relationship with then-coach/general manager Mike Milbury remains a particular point of pride. Spano actually managed, he said, to force Milbury to step down as coach during his "ownership....

Stahelski’s words came during an exclusive interview, as per Collider, when addressing the topic of John Wick 5 being greenlit as far back as 2020 with the same duo made up by the director and John Wick creator Derek Kolstad, as well as protagonist Keanu Reeves.

Biden will meet the 95-year-old monarch during his trip to the U.K. for a G7 summit, which will be held in Cornwall from June 11 to 13. It is not an official state visit. News of the meeting between Biden and the Queen may draw renewed attention to a moment in 2017 when then Vice President Biden said “God Save the Queen” in the U.S. Congress.

Biden’s reluctance to comment on court packing could be because of its extreme unpopularity among a majority of voters, and the pressure from the progressive wing of his party to keep the option on the table. One way or another, Biden will face backlash for an explicit response on the matter, and the Democratic nominee will likely be asked about the issue during Thursday’s town hall event. The future of the Supreme Court has become a major focal point following the September 18 death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg....
