No matter where your friends live, even if they live across the globe, you can enjoy these online activities. All you need is access to the internet. Here, we’ll take a look at seven online activities to do with your friends when it’s not possible to meet up in person. 1. Cook Together Do you and your friends love food and cooking? Or perhaps you purely love eating. Whatever the reason, the internet is filled with a ton of recipes, online cooking guides, and videos on YouTube....

Having just come to an end, the Steam Summer Sale marked that familiar time of the year when gamers’ wallets noticeably shrink - and their game libraries swell. The digital marketplace managed to hit an impressive new milestone at the tail end of the sale, and while high user numbers are no stranger to the service, Steam surpassed a grand total of 8 million concurrent users on June 29, 2014....

The new support tracker was announced via a blog post on the Steam website. Along with the announcement, Valve describes the improvements made in its support efforts, along with its efforts to continue improving support going forward. The post says: That’s a healthy goal, and one that gamers will surely appreciate. This kind of transparency is good for multiple reasons. First, it shows concrete evidence of the effort Valve is putting into resolving concerns and improving its support services....

Certain titles still manage to push the limits of movement mechanics in 2D titles, like Nintendo’s recently released Metroid Dread. However, truly fresh movement abilities are something of a rarity in 2021, as there are only so many novel traversal mechanics for two dimensions. Zenovia founder and lead designer Sri Kankanahalli spoke with Game Rant about Steel Assault’s eclectic mix of influences from hit movies to obscure arcade titles....

The Steelers will debut their “Color Rush” uniforms when they host the rival Ravens at 4:30 p.m. ET in a Christmas Day showdown. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Steelers will sport a black-on-black ensemble. The team was initially scheduled to debut its “Color Rush” uniforms in Week 12 against the Colts. MORE: Uniform rankings: AFC | NFC “We will be wearing what is referred to as our ‘Color Rush’ uniform for the first time,” team president Art Rooney II said, via the team’s website....

From a team perspective, beating the Patriots would clinch the AFC’s No. 1 postseason seed for Brown and his Pittsburgh Steelers. Individually, a big performance against New England puts Brown in prime standing to secure an award bestowed upon no other wide receiver in NFL history: Most Valuable Player. The stage is set for Brown to make his final push. WEEK 15 NFL PICKS: Straight up | Against the spread The Steelers (11-2) wouldn’t have to worry about the outcome of their final two regular-season contests if they can top the Patriots (10-3), which would allow Pittsburgh to begin resting starters for the playoffs....

The voluntary workout program begins Monday, but the wide receiver is also considering sitting out mandatory minicamp and training camp this summer. MORE: Tebow expected to sign with the Eagles | Rex Ryan says Jets wanted him in lesser role Brown led the NFL with 129 catches for 1,698 yards last season and scored 13 touchdowns, which earned him first-team All-Pro honors and a third trip to the Pro Bowl....

Tomlin on Monday appeared on ESPN’s “First Take,” not only to reaffirm his support of Rudolph — who Browns defensive end Myles Garrett claims used a racial slur against him in the teams’ Nov. 14 meeting — but also to lambaste the network for the way it handled Garrett’s interview. ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” on Thursday released a condensed interview with Garrett in which he alleged, again, that Rudolph called him “a stupid N-word” moments before the brawl between the two teams....

Easy: Have Dick LeBeau retire, and hire Rex Ryan. Does that mean all that still ails the Steelers’ defense in 2014 is on LeBeau? Not close. There’s the same old refrain of being too long in the tooth at several positions, and not being able to find the right young players to replace them. The latter part of that plan has been hurt more by injuries to talented first-round linebackers Jarvis Jones and Ryan Shazier this season....

Ben Roethlisberger is back, and the Steelers will have an emotional Week 2; it will be the first home game without owner Dan Rooney, who died April 13. Pittsburgh faces the usual potholes in the AFC North along with the semi-annual matchup with New England Patriots, but that game will come later than expected. There are also black-and-blue games against the NFC North. MORE: Chiefs-Patriots opens ‘TNF’ schedule Here’s a month-by-month breakdown of the Steelers’ 2017 regular-season schedule, and how we see it playing out....

The You Are Dead theory, also sometimes called the ‘You Died at Joja’ theory as it has no official name, is one of those that tries to make sense out of the weird world of video games when it might actually not be all that deep. After all, Stardew Valley is inspired by the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games, which all play out in a similar fashion, essentially creating the standard of the farming simulator genre....

However, there have been many reliable leaks which can tell Bethesda fans a lot about what they might be able to expect from Starfield. Not only that, but some new images and information have only recently come to light, generating more speculation. Here’s every Starfield rumor and leak so far, which ones are the most reliable, and what they might tell fans about Bethesda’s first new IP in over 25 years....

Starfield will need to do quite a lot to separate itself from Bethesda’s two dominant IPs. Fallout comparisons are also incredibly likely, as that is Bethesda’s most prominent sci-fi property set in the dark wastes of the future, and has featured both aliens and space travel. Thankfully, it looks like Starfield should be Bethesda’s most ambitious game yet. Solely by nature of its development, it has to be - the new Creation Engine developed especially for the game is a landmark for a Bethesda....

So back in 1973 I, naturally, watched. Along with pretty much everyone else in this country. And when tennis queen Billie Jean King whipped has-been Bobby Riggs in straight sets inside the Houston Astrodome, it was hailed as an historic milestone for women in pro sports. Now 30 years later, thanks in part to Billie Jean’s bravura act, America’s female pro athletes have ceased to be a novelty act, boasting far more than just a league of their own....

It’s splitsville for Michelle Kwan and Frank Carroll, the man who has coached the two-time national champion since her days as a wide-eyed, spindly-legged child a decade ago. The breakup comes just four months before the Olympics in Salt Lake City, the biggest skate of Michelle’s life. “Frank and I have always had the same goal: [for me] to be the best skater I can be,” Kwan said in a statement from Colorado Springs, Colo....

With every other word, he was flashing a chart, a map, a dreamscape, pictures of boats ferrying Olympic athletes up and down the Harlem and East rivers. It was a bravura performance and when we said our goodbyes, I was sold. It took me a full 10 minutes or so before I regained my senses. After all, I’ve lived in Manhattan, and just getting crosstown is an Olympic challenge. “A New York Olympics,” I pondered, then smiled and, finally, began laughing out loud....

For the first time in 20 years, the team from the Lone Star State is heading to the Stanley Cup Final. “Yeah, we’ve got a great team,” captain Jamie Benn said Monday night after the Stars won the Western Conference finals over the Golden Knights in five games. “Everyone’s bought into their role . . . Obviously, one of the best teams, if not the best team, I’ve played on....

The injury came while the Stars were up 1-0 early in the third period in Dallas when Vegas forward Reilly Smith fired a shot on net. The puck hit Bishop right in the cage of his mask. WATCH: Golden Knights, Stars stand together in tribute to Vegas shooting victims Bishop, who was traded to the Stars from the Kings last May, was examined on the ice before leaving the game....

1. Duke is the underdog as the road team Saturday evening against No. 2 Syracuse. What must the Devils do to push their win streak to six? DeCourcy: The single most important decision when playing against Syracuse is which player to trust to station in the foul line area, behind the two backcourt defenders and ahead of the three baseline defenders. The player in that spot has to be intelligent and versatile....

They may be right. Video footage obtained by NEWSWEEK shows grain being sold at a black market in the coastal town of Chongjin. The sacks are marked with the Red Cross sign and the Korean words “Gift from the U.S.A.” Locals told the cameraman that corrupt officials were selling the donated food for cash.
