Nadal was ranked No. 3 coming into the event and needed to win the title to overtake Medvedev. The Russian, of course, withdrew from the Monte Carlo Masters and the Barcelona Open owing to a positive COVID-19 result, which made matters easier for Nadal. Speaking to the media after his win, Rafael Nadal explained that he still has to work on his claycourt form. The 34-year-old made steady progress through the week in Barcelona, but he stressed that he was ’not perfect’ in the final against Tsitsipas....
Though New World seems to be massively played now, the game did not launch without its own host of issues. The biggest would be New World bricking expensive GPUs as well as the long queues to get into populated servers. These are only some of the reasons many gamers dropped the title. But those who persevered and were able to explore the island of Aeternum seem to be enjoying the experience....

On Saturday, it came back to bite NYCFC again. Vieira’s build-from-the back philosophy has resulted in plenty of picturesque attacking moves since he took over prior to the 2016 season, and it helped his team finish second in the Eastern Conference standings last year. But it has also resulted in some calamitous errors at the back from NYCFC. Early in the second half of Saturday’s match against D.C. United, defenders Maxime Chanot and Frederic Brillant experienced a mix-up when the ball was played back between them....
“If you’re going to be in public and you cannot maintain social distancing, then have a mask and put the mask on when you are not in socially-distanced places,” Cuomo said during his daily coronavirus briefing.

The riot unfolded after President Donald Trump held a rally nearby, once again claiming without evidence that the election results were invalid. His supporters then descended on the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt a session of Congress that would formalize President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the November 3 election. Five people died in the siege; four protesters and a police officer. The outgoing president is facing a historic second impeachment after being accused of inciting the violence on January 6....
As reported by The New York Times Thursday, the Broadway League, the national association for the Broadway theater industry, called for suspension of gatherings in which fans wait outside of the stage door to meet their favorite star at the end of a performance. “We are highly recommending that all stage door activities be eliminated for the time being,” the League said Tuesday. The suspension of the practice has the support of Actors’ Equity, the union that represents performers....
Earlier this month, lawmakers rejected two plans, one favoring Democrats while the other favoring Republicans. If the committee fails to reach a conclusion by January 25, the Legislature, controlled by a majority of Democrats, can take over the process. “We have negotiated with our Republican colleagues in good faith for two years to achieve a single consensus plan. At every step, they have refused to agree to a compromise,” the commission’s Democratic members said in a statement released Monday morning....
CHENNAI, India - New Zealand pipped India by one run in a thrilling Twenty20 international in Chennai on Tuesday to ruin cancer survivor Yuvraj Singh‘s return to big-time cricket. Brendon McCullum smashed 91 off 55 balls as the Kiwis posted 167-5 and then restricted the hosts to 166-4 despite Virat Kohli‘s 70 from 41 deliveries and a valiant 34 from Yuvraj. Yuvraj, who was treated for a rare germ-cell tumour between his lungs earlier this year, bowled two wicketless overs for 14 runs, took a catch and hit one four and two sixes....
Raheem Sterling opened the scoring for City after 22 minutes, capitalising on a bit of a lucky bounce to finish off a move started by David Silva, but just three minutes later, Newcastle were level when Jetro Willems smashed Miguel Almiron’s cutback into the corner of the net. City regained the lead through a Kevin De Bruyne piledriver with 82 minutes gone, but with two minutes of normal time remaining, Jonjo Shelvey smashed a right-footed shot into the net following a cleverly laid-off free-kick to equalise....
The team that brought you Sam and Max are taking on a new kind of adventure, breathing new life into the protagonists of the film series, and giving fans another chance to revisit Hill Valley. The first look at the character designs showed that the developers were going after a certain animated style as opposed to an imitation of the real actors, and it’s hard to argue that the cartoonish look doesn’t fit the team’s style of adventure....
The newest cause for fan speculation surrounds the developer behind The Medium, Bloober Team. This is due to Bloober Team’s CEO, Piotr Babieno, revealing that the development team is currently working on a pre-existing horror IP from a “very famous gaming publisher.” With how care was taken to not mention the publisher or IP, many have speculated this to mean that the team is going to be involved in an entry in the Silent Hill series....
Described only as a “3D game set in the South Park universe,” that front has been incredibly quiet since then. This makes sense given how early the idea for the game likely was, but it does seem that new details are slowly emerging. This new South Park game is developed “in-house” by South Park Digital Studios, but a new job listing seems to suggest it’s getting some help from Question Games....

This Steam Deck OS update is built on top of the beta channel code that came out just a few days back, meaning it’s had quite the fast turnaround this time. Whereas none of the device’s previous major system updates have sat in beta channel for a long time, it seems that Valve may be looking at ways to hasten the process even further still, deploying improvements to SteamOS at an impressively fast pace....

Tier Protection is automatically activated as soon as the system detects a player playing with his teammates....
Kinect is far more than just a camera or microphone, and the technology at work has been developed by a hard-working team at Microsoft which, like it or not, must now watch their technology be twisted and re-purposed by a world full of computer geniuses. The way the Kinect works makes it different from other camera or infrared devices, and the programming already at work within the device has potential when it comes to Minority Report-like manipulation of a digital interface....
World of Warcraft just celebrated its 16th year. In that time, the world and lore of Azeroth has grown, giving Blizzard new locations and histories to explore in books and in-game. The last book dedicated to a location was all about The Eastern Kingdoms, and that book was released in November of last year.
