The hacker group is said to have inserted an ad for it’s own site into the Steam forums, which promises “general discussion sections, hacking tutorials and tools, porn, free giveaways and much more.” Not that people couldn’t find the majority of items on that list with a simple Google search, but the ad is probably something that has the team at Valve up in arms – especially with the emphasis they’ve been putting on security as of late....
Valve, the developer of Half-Life and Portal, released the game platform Steam in 2003 to offer gamers a one-stop shop for all gaming needs. Steam offers a game store, game library, patching mechanism, community pages, and much more. In addition to Steam, Valve is now also producing the gaming device Steam Deck, developed the VR platform SteamVR with Valve Index headset, and is still making games. Since Steam’s inception, many of the largest game publishers have created their own platforms to compete with Steam, including Epic Games and EA with Origin....
Pittsburgh maintained control for most of its home opener against Cincinnati, with the momentum intensifying in the second half amid flared emotions and bad blood after a slow start at a soaked Heinz Field. MORE: 14 incidents that have inflamed this rivalry The rainy weather brought a pair of turnovers, both interceptions by Ben Roethlisberger. Nonetheless, the Steelers quarterback reached yet another milestone as he recorded his 276th career touchdown pass to slide into 12th in NFL history....
Of course, the resurgence of Stardew Valley’s popularity is not at all surprising given that the latest update introduced a massive amount of content that includes a new Beach Farm layout, new game options, several quality-of-life changes, local split-screen co-op, among many others. Additionally, Stardew Valley’s latest update added several new characters in the game, such as Birdie, Gourmand Frog, and Professor Snail, but the most popular one is Leo....
Starfield takes Bethesda Game Studio’s design philosophy to outer space and players will be able to explore all sorts of planets throughout their playthrough. Its size and scope seem massive, as Starfield will let players explore over 100 Solar Systems and thousands of planets. This number includes both hand-crafted planets and procedurally-generated ones like in No Man’s Sky. Now, one Starfield fan compares a planet’s size to another Bethesda developed game....
While it’s great to see Starfield put such an emphasis on exploration, travel means something different compared to most Bethesda games. Whereas traveling across the wasteland in Fallout 4 or between cities in Skyrim is a matter of walking, either manually or with fast travel, Starfield’s network of planets will require space travel, which means both manual and fast travel could be more arduous. Ideally, Bethesda will go out of its way to streamline both forms of travel as much as possible in Starfield, or else players may not be excited about roaming the galaxy....
Despite the lack of in-depth details provided by Todd Howard on the game, the new trailer for Starfield does provide a few clues on what the background of the main character could be, and how that ties into game mechanics. The trailer’s protagonist is an unnamed character whose story is unknown, but there are several clues left around their spaceship, that range from a “Nova Galactic” flight manual, to sort-of memos left on post-it notes or written on the furniture....
After a long and expensive campaign, New York’s stadium proposal collapsed amid the city’s fractious politics. Of the five finalist cities, New York finished ahead of only Moscow and far behind three other European capitals, Madrid, Paris and the eventual winner, London. USOC President Peter Ueberroth swore he wouldn’t let America embarrass itself in that fashion again and that the next bid would be one that could compete with the best the world had to offer....
I grew up in Boston, a diehard Red Sox fan, long before anybody had a notion that there was some larger entity called Red Sox Nation. If there was such a baseball nation back then—besides, of course, what was our American baseball nation—it was located a couple hundred miles to the south. Not the New York Yankees. They were already an empire, summoning up imagery of ancient Rome or the corporate behemoth U....
So here it is, and I do foresee another major upset: the Swiss miss, Alinghi, with its turncoat Kiwi skipper and crew, to get past the last U.S. entry, Oracle, and then best Team New Zealand, thus taking sailing’s grandest trophy into the mountains. OK, you don’t give a damn about the America’s Cup (or that it may never again be American in anything but name only.) Or that two NHL franchises have declared back-to-back bankruptcies....
So Washington insiders have noted with interest that Rumsfeld’s Pentagon successor, Robert Gates, has taken three trips in the last 10 months with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. For security reasons, the two secretaries tend to fly separately even when headed to the same place. But last summer Rice abandoned her C-32 official aircraft to fly with Gates from Egypt to Saudi Arabia aboard his more cushy E-4B (similar to the jets that serve as Air Force One)....
Republican State Representative Mark Samsel said in a Facebook post that he was studying ways to handle stress so that “there is no likelihood” of a similar incident occurring. Samsel also said he has been seeing mental health professionals over the past three months due to the “isolated episode of mania with psychotic features” in the classroom. According to an affidavit from a sheriff’s deputy, one student told the deputy that Samsel had manhandled him and kicked him in the testicles during class while the politician was working as a substitute teacher....

India needed to win the ODI series to keep their morale up for the upcoming 3 match Test Series which they eventually won 1-0. It was also one of India’s most successful tours to New Zealand where they managed to win both the ODI as well as the Test Series. It was also the first time that India had managed to win an ODI series in New Zealand. Let us look at a statistical recap of the 2008-09 India tour of New Zealand ODI Series....

Los Blancos’ only hope of any silverware lied in their beloved competition, the UEFA Champions League. They were leading 2-1 after the first leg but Ajax knocked the champions out in an extraordinary fashion after defeating them 4-1 at home and 5-3 on aggregate. Following the disappointing loss to AFC Ajax, MARCA launched a macro-survey of Real Madrid supporters. The poll was taken by more than 400,000 fans. In the polls conducted, fans made their opinions known on who they want to see at the Bernabeu next season and who they want to see shipped off....
