For those who watched the NCIS Season 17 midseason finale, without having watched the opening episodes of the season, Sahar was introduced in the Season 17 premiere as a terrorist with some kind of history with Ziva (Cote de Pablo), who emerged after years in hiding to warn Gibbs his life was in danger as a result of Sahar’s plot. In the second part of that premiere, Gibbs and Ziva capture a woman (Mouzam Makkar) who they think is Sahar, who tells them she was the leader of a splinter group which fell apart after she was captured and placed in a POW camp....

[HTML1] If you played and loved Neverwinter Nights or its sequel, you might want to look into Neverwinter. Making a third-person MMO instead of a third core installment was a disappointment to some but developer Cryptic Studios and publisher Perfect World have put out a solid, polished and enjoyable free-to-play MMORPG using the lore and rules of Dungeons & Dragons, even if this online-only game has nothing to do with Neverwinter Nights....

After the meeting, Nancy began making her views known behind the scenes, respectfully but forcefully–calling politicians, conversing with scientists, buttonholing lawmakers at the rare Washington dinner she allowed herself. Then last month Reagan decided to go public at a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation gala, and she asked others to join in her quest. “Science has presented us with a hope called stem-cell research, which may provide our scientists with answers that have so long been beyond our grasp,” she said....

The forward has been in stupendous form this season for PSG, having scored 11 and assisted eight goals in 11 appearances so far. He was also on target for Brazil, scoring in their 5-1 win over Tunisia and assisting twice in their 3-0 demolition of Ghana. Following Selecao’s win over Tunisia on Tuesday, September 27, Silva shed light on how Neymar spent the off-season fine-tuning his skills and preparing for the 2022-23 season....

Having left La Liga for Ligue 1 in the summer of 2017, speculation suggests that a return journey could be made some 12 months on from a record-breaking €222 million transfer. With those at Santiago Bernabeu planning a squad overhaul on the back of a disappointing campaign, former Barcelona star Neymar is considered to fit the ‘Galactico’ mould. PSG, though, have no intention of selling and have been quick to talk up the 26-year-old’s happiness in France, with Fernandez the latest to play down reports of a one-season stint at Parc des Princes....

[HTML1] If one genre of games is regularly attacked for preferring to iterate as opposed to innovate, it’s the annual sports simulation. While that may have been somewhat justified in the past, the developers of the NHL series have continued to erase the distance between ‘game’ and ’the real thing’ with each new release since the jump to next-gen. After delivering one of the best sports games of 2011 with several new gameplay additions, some may have thought that the push forward with NHL 13 would be somewhat less of an impact....

Six years have passed, and Nintendo has just released Wii’s successor, the Wii U (read our review). This time around, the showcase software is Nintendo Land, a collection of twelve mini-games based on classic Nintendo characters and franchises, and set in a virtual theme park. Does Nintendo Land manage to do for the GamePad what Wii Sports did for the Wii Remote? Read on for our full review. Much of the brilliance of Wii Sports hides in the game’s pronounced simplicity....

Sadly some end of year events have more staying power than others, and in the case of indie developer Hello Games, the studio’s 11th hour misfortune may have done some real lasting damage. Announced via the company’s Twitter feed on Christmas Eve, the developer’s Guildford-based studio appears to have been hit by a torrential flood of “biblical” proportions. After detailing the extent of the damage done - including the loss of most of the 4-man team’s PCs, monitors and even a wall - the company went on to drop an even bigger bombshell....

Anthony Smith put on a stellar performance at the recently concluded UFC Vegas 15 at the UFC APEX submitting Devin Clark in the first round via triangle choke. The bout was shifted to the main event spot when Curtis Blaydes tested positive for COVID 19. Blaydes was supposed to take on fellow heavyweight Derrick Lewis in the main event but the bout had to be scrapped. Anthony Smith seemed pleased to be back on the winning track after 2 consecutive losses....

Jurgen Klopp’s side have taken four points from their opening two matches and booked their place in the group stages of the Champions League with an emphatic 4-2 win over Bundesliga side Hoffenheim at Anfield in midweek. Reds 23/20 to beat Arsenal Manchester United have a 100 per cent record after their first three matches and sit two points clear of neighbours Manchester City at the summit, but Brazil international Firmino believes it is hard to identify an outright favourite to be crowned champions - something that could play into Liverpool’s hands....

Alexander is in a long-term relationship with popular fellow Twitch creator Eric “Erobb” Lamont Robbins Jr. She is a just chatting streamer who does not regularly stream video games. As a result, kato_kat had no idea what FOV meant and heeded a viewer’s advice to increase it to the maximum. She eventually realized what FOV meant after hilariously claiming that she “can now see more”. kato_kat figures out FOV during Halo Infinite stream after playing the game for two weeks Brittany might not be an experienced gamer, but in recent weeks, she has been playing Halo Infinite without turning up the FOV to the maximum....

At the time, the insurgency group was attacking the outskirts of communities, which led to a lot of tense times for the students on my campus at the University of Maiduguri in Borno State, Nigeria. Nobody wanted to stay out late at night, or to travel home alone. Students were kidnapped on their way to campus. We heard about cases of rape and girls who were kidnapped and married to the insurgents....

Charting the history of the Mexican drug war between the Juárez, Tijuana and Sinaloa cartels, the series gives definitive ends to some characters and leaves the door open for several others. Amado Carrillo Fuentes (José María Yazpik) apparently dies on the operating table after getting plastic surgery ⁠—more on that later⁠—, while the Arellano Felix family are still in business but are struggling with the loss of Ramón (Manuel Maslava)....

With this year’s national team for Rio the screenshot differs from an official one taken recently in that all players are wearing the uniform instead of some attempting to avoid showing logos through various means. Also coach Mike Krzyzewski has been added as he was scanned for 2K17 and will be featured on the sidelines and in a new tutorial mode. All 12 players from the original Dream Team are featured in 2K17 including Charles Barkley and Scottie Pippen who were resistant to being included in the past....

Earlier we set the stage with the parameters of the tournament and the seeding. The “NBA 2K” simulation engine has proven itself to be reliable in the past, and in with that in mind, any major upsets occurring would be unlikely. That has proven the case here in the first round of the tournament as only two lower seeds prevailed, and both could easily have been considered toss-ups beforehand....

NBA 2K21 Update 1.03Patch Notes General Fixed an issue that would lead to players getting removed from online matches when greening shots due to divergent settings. Improved audio logic for PA announcer, crowd, halftime and studio show, sideline reporting, and special guest commentators. Player likeness improvements for Damian Lillard. Improved art, lighting, and text readability for various menus throughout the game. Fixed a rare hang that could have happened upon joining the 2K Beach Neighborhood from a friend invite in the Squad app....

After working on 11 seasons of NCIS: Los Angeles, Bellisario died in August 2020 after a battle with brain cancer. The producer was 63. Bellisario had been literally part of the NCIS family since its beginning. His father is Donald Bellisario, who created all of the shows that David worked on. He is also the step-brother of Sean Murray, who plays Timothy McGee on the original NCIS. On NCIS: Los Angeles Season 12, Episode 1, which is streaming now on CBS All Access, a title card at the end of the show paying tribute to the producer read: “David Bellisario....

Though NCIS LA has not been commissioned for Season 12 yet, CBS could reveal its decision on the show’s future soon. The series was last renewed in mid-April 2019, so a greenlight for Season 12 could be imminent. This renewal seems particularly likely as the show has unfinished business. The Season 11 finale introduced a new villain for the team in the form of Special Warfare Chief Petty Officer Thomas Argento (played by Juan Riedinger), a sniper accused of an international war crime after he murdered an unarmed Taliban prisoner as well as numerous civilians....

One of the aspects that will set NFS: The Run apart from other games in the series is its cinematic storytelling. The game’s on-foot sequences combined with racing and the Frostbite 2 engine will give fans of the franchise a brand new experience. Many frowned on the idea of having the protagonist get out of his vehicle, but those nay-sayers really should try it before passing judgment. We had our hands-on with the title during E3 and enjoyed it....

Belotti’s 26 Serie A goals in 35 appearances for Torino last season made him a top transfer target and the likes of Milan, Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain were reportedly interested in signing him. Sampdoria 14/1 to beat Roma 1-0 Cairo, who has brought stability to Torino since taking over 12 years ago when the club was almost bankrupt, spoke proudly after holding onto his star player for another year – but offered no assurances over Belotti’s long-term future....
