In the original Final Fantasy 7, Fort Condor was a location players stumbled across fairly early in the game. The fort was home to a group of ec0-warriors similar to Avalanche that had dedicated themselves to protecting an enormous bird creature that was nesting its egg at the top of the fort. Players could choose to dedicate time and resources to help fight off Shinra troops in a fun tower defense-style game, but along with all of the other things changing in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Fort Condor looks to have been adapted to a different style of mini game that exists in-world....

First revealed on Twitter back in September 2019, early demos of Party Animals proved to be hugely popular with both players and streamers alike. During the Autumn Edition of the Steam Game Festival, there were more than 135 thousand people playing the game at once, making it the fourth most played game on the platform at the time. Since then, however, news regarding a full release has been fairly limited, although all that could be about to change....

With Luffy gone, Sentomaru was knocked out by Lucci, returning command of the Seraphim to CP0. Toward the end of the chapter, fans finally saw Admiral Kizaru. Overall, the chapter was outstanding, but there was one major detail that many fans missed from the cover story. Most of the time, fans tend to overlook the cover story and instead focus on meticulously reading the chapter. This time, the cover story had an important piece of information that confirmed the suspicions that some fans previously had about Stussy....

The current Fleet Admiral is Akainu, who was promoted after winning the fight against Aokiji. Under Akainu’s guidance, the Marines have become much more ruthless, and they have been actively trying to hunt pirates. Over time, the Marines have gained the reputation of being unbeatable, but that is not the case, in fact, there are many One Piece characters who are stronger than the Fleet Admiral and the Admirals. In addition to their lack of power, the Marines are not the saints that they claim to be....

One Piece’s final battle is something that fans are looking forward to because it will cement Luffy’s position in the series, allowing fans to witness the true peak of his powers. Presently, the most ideal final antagonist of the series is Marshal D. Teach, otherwise known as Blackbeard – a man who paved his way to success through acts of betrayal & pure villainy. This pirate will definitely clash with Luffy, and it may be the protagonist’s toughest & final battle in the series for some reason....

The trailer for Avowed shared in 2020 did not feature gameplay. The cinematic did offer a glimpse of what gameplay would look like in Avowed, though. The player is shown pulling a one-handed sword from their scabbard, runes glowing along its blade. The other hand draws a magical rune in the air which they grasp, limning their palm in purple flames. Duel-wielding a sword in one hand and sorcery in the other was understandably intriguing, so it’s fitting that the leaked screenshot offers another look at it....

The Irishman crticized his former club’s efforts on the pitch and even predicted that such uninspired outings could cost the Norwegian his job. Manchester United were the favorites as they stepped onto the field for Sunday’s game against Arsenal. However, the Red Devils were far from impressive at home against the Gunners and were downtrodden when Paul Pogba gave away a penalty. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stepped up to give Arsenal the lead and ultimately scored all the three points for the Gunners....

Usyk made his pro debut in 2013 after winning a gold medal in the 2012 Olympics. He won the WBO cruiserweight title in 2016. In the 2017-18 World Boxing Super Series tournament, he beat Marco Huck, Mairis Briedis for the WBC cruiserweight title, and Murat Gassiev in the final for the WBA, IBF and The Ring cruiserweight titles. His lone defense as undisputed champion was a knockout win over Tony Bellew in 2018....

Fighting 11 months after their initial encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Usyk majestically dethroned Joshua, each brought renewed intensity to their rivalry, which reached a sensational crescendo during rounds nine and 10 as the action ebbed back and forth. By that stage, however, Usyk’s sensational skills had largely negated Joshua’s intelligent body attack and opened up an advantage that was recognised by margins of 116-112 and 115-113 on two scorecards....

Ten was stabbed after a dispute with people who allegedly tried to steal a mirror from his car in his home city of Almaty, Kazakh news agencies reported. Doctors in Almaty say the 25-year-old skater died in the hospital there. Born in Kazakhstan to a family of Korean descent, Ten’s bronze at the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014 made him Kazakhstan’s first medalist in figure skating. Canadian skater Patrick Chan, who won silver in the same competition, said on Twitter he was “honored and grateful to have shared the ice” with Ten....

Other athlete’s endorsements seemed to match their moods. Canadian couple Jamie Sale and David Pelletier–first denied then awarded the gold medal in pairs figure skating–not only landed contracts with Kleenex and Crest. NEWSWEEK’s Jennifer Barrett spoke with Robert Urbach, executive vice president of SFX Sports Group, which represents current and former Olympians from Bode Miller to Bonnie Blair, about what athletes are most likely to cash in on their Olympic experience....

BA.2 caught scientists’ attention in the first months of 2022 after it overtook the already fast-spreading Omicron BA.1 sub-type to become the dominant variant in the United States and elsewhere. As we’ve seen, COVID rarely remains the same for long. Soon after BA.2 became dominant more mutations arose and another sub-type called BA.2.12.1 overtook BA.2. At the beginning of June, infections from two more Omicron sub-types, BA.4 and BA.5 were noted to be rising rapidly....

Sept. 11 and the COVID-19 pandemic, though fueled by disparate sources, challenge us similarly: How do we shepherd one another through a land we ourselves have never visited? How do we sit with one another in fresh grief when we are overcome by feelings we cannot yet identify? My experience as a young person leading young people through uncharted territory was wobbly at best. I remember hobbling on crutches up four flights of stairs in the elevator-less dorm to check in on students from New Jersey and New York, to ask about students from Washington, D....

Nine nations possess nuclear weapons—the U.S., Russia, the U.K., France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea—according to data compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Of these nations, the U.S. and Russia have by far the highest number, with about 5,800 and 6,185, respectively. China comes in third, with about 320 as of this year. “There is a clear lack of public awareness about these issues compared to the 1980s....

Chelsea host Spurs lying five points behind their London rivals in fifth, meaning Mauricio Pochettino’s men would land a hammer blow against the reigning Premier League champions’ designs on Champions League qualification by managing a first win at Stamford Bridge since February 1990.

Already a motorsport great by the time of the crash that ended his life, Senna is remembered as one of the most accomplished and toughest drivers to have ever got behind the wheel. Boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard landed a punch for the ages to become middleweight world champion on May 1, way back in 1957. And only last year, Lionel Messi struck a wonder-goal against Liverpool that at the time looked to have sunk Jurgen Klopp’s side’s hopes of reaching the Champions League final....

The boxing world was delivered a reminder of that five years ago as a fight a long time in the making proved a drab affair. It is the unexpected that often produces the most excitement and that was the case during a 2015-16 Premier League campaign that stands as arguably the most memorable in the division’s history. Here we look back at May 2 in the world of sport....
