With five of his teammates and his head coach on the stage, sophomore forward Theo Pinson felt kind of left out of the Tar Heels’ press conference previewing its Notre Dame matchup. So he did what any player would do: interrupted and made himself right at home. MORE: UNC sure looks like the next national champion Not sure what’s funnier about this whole exchange: Roy Williams’ daggum monologue-length response to the interruption or the moment itself....

[HTML1] Although the PS4 launched with a few exciting exclusive properties like Infamous and Killzone back in 2013, the powerful machine is still waiting for a real console-selling franchise installment to arrive. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is expected to fill that void in 2016 three years into the console life-cycle, but the game looks like it will be well worth the wait. After an epic E3 gameplay demo, Uncharted 4 looks like it will be one of the first games to truly hardness the power of the PS4....

As is the trend now with many films, even those outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the newly released Uncharted movie has two post-credits scenes. The purpose of the scenes was clear, as they set up a potential sequel and more adventures for the main protagonists. Director Ruben Fleischer broke down the main scene, which features Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan, and reiterated the friendship between the two. In the Uncharted post-credits scene, Tom Holland’s Drake seems to be making a deal with Pilou Asbæk’s Gage, who isn’t a recognizable character....

Long regarded as a battleground state, Florida voters handed Trump a victory in the 2016 election. Democrats gained a victory in 2012 when incumbent President Barack Obama won re-election. Polling numbers in Florida this year are close, meaning undecided Florida voters might hold the key to a second consecutive Republican victory.

Whitmer had originally hired Every Action VAN, a voter-contact software platform, to help compile data for a contact tracing project. Contact tracing is a way to identify people who were potentially exposed to individuals who have tested positive for coronavirus. Once identified, these people can be isolated and monitored, ideally stopping further infections. Every Action has worked with many Democratic candidates in the past. These connections with the Democratic Party led state Republicans to question the dealings with the company....

Name: Ed Ruth Record: 6-0 overall, 6-0 Bellator MMA Division: Welterweight Team: Alliance MMA With all due respect to AJ McKee, who has nearly twice as many appearances and victories inside the Bellator MMA cage, Ed Ruth might be the second best prospect on the entire roster, trailing only Aaron Pico. A four-time All-American and three-time Division I national champion during his days at Penn State University, Ruth has made a seamless transition to competing in mixed martial arts, rattling off six wins in a little over two years, earning five stoppages and venturing to the third round just once....

However, not every video game gets the attention it deserves, and DC Comics titles are no exception to this rule. There have been some thoroughly enjoyable games put out using DC Comics characters that flew under the radar, despite offering worthwhile gaming experiences. 6 Superman Returns Not all experimentation is successful, and, despite being a tie-in game for a maligned attempt at a Superman reboot, the Superman Returns video game from 2006 tried to tackle the issue of Superman’s invulnerability in an interesting way....

A decade later, only a select few 2012 PS3 games are still part of the cultural zeitgeist. The gaming industry moves quickly, condemning plenty of good titles to hazy memories at best. What are some forgotten PS3 gems that turned 10 in 2022? 6 Binary Domain During the PS4 era, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s international profile exploded with the success of Yakuza 0.

Acevedo’s blueprints depict settings far different from the current prisonlike complex in Miami, where lines of people snake out onto the scorching sidewalk. The new facilities will have big, comfortable waiting areas, ample light and green design elements like reflective roofing. They’ll feature indoor playgrounds for kids and Internet cafés for adults. The décor will be more welcoming—pastel colors, with an entry rotunda modeled on the U.S. Capitol and 25-foot etchings of the Statue of Liberty on glass walls....

Assuredly not—although historian Harvey Klehr of Emory wonders what the files hold about people like Robert Oppenheimer, the nuclear physicist, or the labor leader Harry Bridges, who denied having been party members. Historians would like to understand how American communists coped with the disillusionments of the Nazi-Soviet pact or Stalin’s show-trial purges. Many questions were answered when Moscow opened its archives in the 1990s, says journalist Sam Tanenhaus, the biographer of turncoat communist Whittaker Chambers....

Journalists as far away as London and Melbourne had a high time pawing over the strange family and gawking at the wives, who came to court covered from wrist to ankle in chaste frontier calico dresses. But beyond the bizarre legalities of the affair, I believe Green’s case says a lot about America. At the very least, it is a vivid refutation of the all-too-American tendency to see the past as past, to view history as irrelevant to the present....
