It’s a big night for the Cubs, with the arrival of Javier Baez in the major leagues. Len Kasper and Jim Deshaies, appropriately, lead their coverage of the game with this, and a helpful reminder to those seeking a savior that Baez struggled early at Triple-A before playing well enough to earn his callup. The breakdown of Baez includes his on-base and slugging percentages in the Pacific Coast League, and a nod to incumbent shortstop Starlin Castro, who has been having a strong season and playing well lately....

Elizabeth Struhs, who suffered from Type 1 diabetes, died on January 7 at her family’s home in Rangeville, in the Australian state of Queensland. Her mother and father, who have since been charged with murder, did not give her any insulin in the six days leading up to her death, police said. The couple and other church members held back on calling paramedics until 5:30 p.m. the day after the child had died, it’s alleged, because they believed she would be resurrected, according the Courier-Mail newspaper....

New York has seen 173 cases of a new coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and is one of three states in the United States experiencing a large outbreak. Thousands of people in New York are under self-quarantine, businesses have told employees to work from home and some schools have chosen to close. On Tuesday, Cuomo announced that all schools within a “containment area” in New Rochelle will be closed from Thursday until March 25....

As with any game development process, content is bound to be cut, whether it’s to cull unfitting ideas or save time. For games that start life being crowdfunded, cut content gets trickier as there’s an added level of content that might not make it to development if stretch goals aren’t reached. In spite of its popularity, Hollow Knight was no stranger to this, with many areas Team Cherry intended to let the player explore never making it into the final product....

In this regard many of the early concepts for Mass Effect’s aliens were far stranger than the ones fans finally saw in-game. Following the release of Mass Effect 3, BioWare Concept Artist Matt Rhodes released many of the alien concepts that never made it to the retail release. Here are just some of the alien concepts it would be great to see brought to life in Mass Effect 4....

There are plenty of ways to make your phone, tablet or even desktop full of festive cheer using high-quality backgrounds, available all over the internet. Thanksgiving Wallpaper For Your Phone The first thing to consider is your phone and what apps may be available to provide wallpaper options. Phones which use Apple or Android operating systems do not always have the same apps available to them. One way to look for appropriate background apps is by searching in your App or Google Play Store, or wherever you get your apps from....

England were put in to bat, and there was excitement from the very start. Skipper Mike Brearley was caught behind second ball off Imran Khan, and Derek Randall was dismissed similarly in the second over sent down by Sikander Bakht. After a brief respite, wickets fell regularly and at 8/118, England appeared down and out of the contest. Wicketkeeper Bob Taylor had figured in a few rescue acts over the years, but keeping him company here was the lanky, awkward, Bob Willis, hardly known for his prowess with the willow....

Chinappa defeated New Zealand’s Kaitlyn Watts 3-1 (11-8 9-11 11-4 11-6), while Saurav Ghosal beat David Baillargeon 3-0 (11-6, 11-2, 11-6) to advance to the top eight. Joshna, the 18-time national champion, kept her calm to recover from a mid-game slump to prevail and set up a last-eight clash with Canada’s Hollie Naughton. Naughton beat Malaysia’s Aifa Azman 3-0 in another match. Watch: Mirabai Chanu’s mother adds North East flavour to victory celebrations after historic Commonwealth Games Gold...

After Cyberpunk 2077 received its latest substantial patch, many players are paying another visit back to Night City to dabble in chaos and flex their cyber augmentations; or for the more laid-back adventurers, some are simply cruising around in pretty rides the game has to offer, such as motorcycles and nitro-tacked convertibles. But one thing to remember when taking the fight back to attacking gangs or the law force is that speed is everything....

There are many options for cars in Cyberpunk 2077. Some of these can be stolen, while others are simply purchased at a certain point. Players should know that any vehicles they steal cannot be stored for permanent storage, so it is worth it to properly buy some cars once the feature is unlocked. RELATED: Cyberpunk 2077 Update 1.04 Released for PlayStation, PC; Here’s What it Fixes Where to Find Cars Once players reach Act 2 in the game, they can start finding vehicles as they wander Night City....

After speaking with Wakako in Westrbrook and receiving the “collect you free reward from Cassius Ryder’s ripperdoc shop inventory” objective, players should turn to their attention to the northwest end of the map. Indeed, the shop of interest is located in Watson, and fans can use Cyberpunk 2077’s fast travel system to reach it quite easily. More specifically, players should use the Cherry Blossom Market fast travel point, which is positioned just above Wakako, to instantly teleport to The Docks up north....

There are a few romance options for V, whether she’s being played as a man or woman, such as the fan-favorite Judy Alvarez, a braindance technician that’s met during an early main quest in the prologue of Cyberpunk 2077. But among the male options, the NCPD detective River will likely appeal to players who fancied Paladin Danse in Fallout 4, as they’re both kind-hearted burly men who are dedicated to uncorrupted law and order....

While most PC players have gravitated towards texture and performance mods to improve Cyberpunk 2077’s poor visual quality, there are many additional mods that add to the experience in significant ways. As the months go by, mods for Cyberpunk 2077 have become more and more ambitious, with a VR mod for Cyberpunk 2077 releasing soon. Though, this most recent mod involves vehicular combat.

Confirmed via the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account, all copies of the game will come with some digital “goodies.” These will include the original score, an art booklet, a selection of wallpapers, a digital comic, and surprisingly, the Cyberpunk 2020 Roleplaying game sourcebook.

Cyberpunk 2077, from its announcement back in May of 2012 to its release on December 10th, 2020, was one of the most hyped-up video games of all time. Fans have been clamoring for a large Cyberpunk AAA game for some time now. And what better studio to bring that to life other than CD Projekt Red, the developers responsible for The Witcher 3, one of the most beloved open-world games in the past decade....

The development of the 2020 CD Projekt Red game was an incredibly long one full of controversy and numerous delays. The first teaser trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 was originally released ten years ago before development fired up a few years later. Unfortunately, the game was released in an incredibly buggy, nearly unplayable state on the consoles, with the PlayStation 4 version holding a 54 Metacritic rating and the Xbox One version at 61....

One of the biggest issues that players have not enjoyed dealing with is crashing, especially on previous generation consoles. Even on the newer consoles, it takes a lot to make Cyberpunk 2077 settings run optimally for gaming systems. RELATED: Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About The Arasaka Corporation The 1.10 update patch for the game was hypothetically supposed to fix Cyberpunk 2077’s crashing problem by making various stability improvements, but crashes are still being reported by many players....

Many RPG fans will have heard similar promises before, however. Skyrim helped redefine the RPG genre just under a decade ago, but still had areas, particularly regarding NPCs, where attempts at immersion fell flat. Cyberpunk 2077 will need to avoid these problems if it’s going to feel like a truly next-gen RPG. RELATED: Cyberpunk 2077 Developer Addresses Fan Concerns Regarding the Game Skyrim’s Voice Problem One of the best decisions Bethesda made with Skyrim was to give many of the Nords Scandinavian accents, rather than the gruff American accents as they had in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion....

Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way since its shaky launch in 2020, receiving multiple patches throughout the past year. The game’s most recent patches, updates 1.5 and 1.52, have been among the most content-heavy patches to arrive, adding new weapons, rebalancing skill trees, and implementing a next-generation graphical update for PS5 and Xbox Series X. CD Projekt Red maintains its commitment to fixing the numerous technical issues surrounding the title and promises that an expansion for Cyberpunk is still on the way....
