Lawhead and Quinn’s stories inspired many others to speak up, with several high-profile video game developers being accused of abusing their positions. The allegations range from sexual assault to physical and mental abuse and everything in-between. Several developers and publishers, big and small, have been called out for not treating the accusations with the proper care, for knowing about certain situations and ignoring them, and for doing nothing. Alongside Lawhead and Quinn, Adelaide Garner has accused Luc Shelton of Splash Damage of prolonged psychological and physical abuse....

The Frenchman sustained a hamstring injury last weekend against Sporting Gijon and was replaced at halftime in the 1-1 draw. It initially seemed unlikely that Nasri would be fit in time for the visit of Barca this weekend, but an update from Sevilla on Thursday provided more optimistic news. “The positive news on Thursday is that Samir Nasri, despite his injured left hamstring, is not ruled out in order to participate in the meeting on Sunday against FC Barcelona,” the statement read....

While they were in the quarter-finals of the old European Cup, it is the first time the Rojiblancos have reached this stage of the modern Champions League and they will be keen to continue writing history. Vincenzo Montella’s side booked their place in the last eight of the competition by overcoming Manchester United against the odds and they come into the game brimming with confidence having nearly ended Barcelona’s unbeaten run in La Liga....

Initially, many women thought the unusual confluence of events in Washington and Palm Beach could have a liberating effect on themselves and on the country. Because of the high-profile nature of the cases, society finally seemed poised to confront the fears and sense of menace many women took for granted when they went out for drinks, accepted a ride home or conferred with a boss. Men who didn’t “get it” suddenly would....

While it is reasonable to approach this information with skepticism, the times disclosed do fall in line with previous entries in the Tomb Raider series. For example, Rise of the Tomb Raider took players around the same amount of time to complete. It’s also worth keeping in mind that this is just for the main story in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and does not include any of the game’s side content, which would likely extend play time to a little over 20 hours....

Jagex describes Space Punks as a co-op action RPG with over-the-top action and an irreverent sci-fi setting. Anyone who has ever played Borderlands will see Space Punks’ more direct influences, though. Not only does Space Punks ape Borderlands’ unique spin on cel-shaded graphics, but it takes the looter shooter’s style and humor, too. Protagonist Duke is even listed as “The Handsome One,” which seems like quite the coincidence given their recognizable connection to Borderlands’ Handsome Jack....

Unlike the enormous Republican Palace nearby, a warren of offices and reception rooms still topped by four gigantic busts of Saddam (wearing a medieval helmet, no less), the guest house was supposed to be relatively inconspicuous, private and discreetly impregnable. In fact, the outside walls are still standing, but the interior is a shambles of broken masonry, shattered glass, collapsed ceilings and charred furnishings. Coalition bombs rained in here like the apocalypse, exploding against and sometimes through the thick concrete of the top two floors but never reaching the ground....

Stefanos Tsitsipas made a resurgent Novak Djokovic go the mile in his quarter-final clash against the Serbian World Number 1. Scripting a memorable comeback in the ninth hour of the match, the 21-year-old Greek sensation really pushed the boundaries to ensure this is a surreal week for him. Tsitsipas got the better of Djokovic in three sets and raced to victory in 3-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Sharapova, the women’s second seed, defeated former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka, 6-4, 6-3, Monday in the BNP Paribas Open. Sharapova, herself a former No. 1, needed six match points to wrap up the victory. “I was aggressive, even though I was missing some shots, missing quite long and wide at times, I just kept going for it,” Sharapova told reporters, according to The Associated Press. “Kept being aggressive and staying in there....

The ISAF 2021 report, published January 24, showed there were 73 unprovoked shark bites on humans last year, an increase of 28 per cent on the 2020 figure of 57. The number of fatalities remained relatively stable, with 11 recorded in 2021 compared to 13 in 2020. Scientists behind the report speculate that changing rules and attitudes to the COVID-19 pandemic could be behind the figures. “Last year, we speculated—and we don’t know this for sure—that the reason why there was a lower number was because there were fewer people in the water because of the lockdowns,” Gavin Naylor, the director of the Florida Program for Shark Research who co-authored the report, told Newsweek....

Speaking to Newsweek, Sex Education’s Music Supervisor, Matt Biffa, shared his thoughts on the music of the new series, describing it as “super eclectic”. Warning: Spoilers for Sex Education Season 3 ahead. He said: “I would describe it as super eclectic, particularly this season because you know, we’ve got the Nigerian episode as well, we’ve got that flavor in there. As always though, we are just trying to do right by the characters, and then always at the back of our minds there is that there is the overarching sort of message of the show and what we found is that, the more we kind of touch people emotionally, the more they respond to the themes like Amy’s abuse and stuff like that....

Williams, playing her first Australian Open since winning the tournament in 2017, cruised into the final eight with consecutive straight-sets victories in Rounds 1-3 in Melbourne before dispatching world No. 1 Simona Halep in three sets on Monday. The seven-time Open champion remains one Grand Slam victory shy of Margaret Court’s singles record of 24 — a mark she hopes to break in 2019. MORE: Watch Serena Williams live with fuboTV (7-day free trial)...

“First of all, I’m in the semifinal. That’s pretty awesome. So that’s exciting,” Williams, the 10th seed, said after her straight-set win over No. 2 Simona Halep. “It doesn’t matter who I’m playing really in the semifinal. It’s a semifinal of a Grand Slam. No one gets there by chance, so I have got to be ready.” It’s been a little more than four years since Williams won a Grand Slam; she beat sister Venus at the Australian Open in 2017....

But in the last few years, both teams haven’t been able to produce the same kind of performances or it could be said that other teams have become much stronger in recent years. In the last season, Inter Milan finished 4th in the table with 72 points, while in the ongoing season they are at the 2nd position and are producing some decent performances. Their 5-0 win over Genoa yesterday might boost their morale for the upcoming matches....

But their star man Cristiano Ronaldo was in the headlines again - not due to his performance on the field, but because of being substituted by Sarri in the second half. The Juventus boss once again said that his decision was based on Ronaldo’s physical condition, and stated that the Portuguese has been having some discomfort in his knee since the last month. But Ronaldo is reported to have left the stadium even before the game ended, and many are wondering whether all is not well between Ronaldo and Juventus’ boss....

Optic Neuritis Optic neuritis is an inflammatory condition of the optic nerve, a nerve located in the back of the eye that sends signals to the brain. People who suffer from optic neuritis usually have pain, especially with eye movements, and experience some vision loss over a period of 7 to 10 days. Some recovery of the vision loss usually occurs within 30 days of onset. Patients who have a diagnosis of optic neuritis should undergo a brain MRI to assess their risk of multiple sclerosis (MS)....

The Serious Sam 4 teaser trailer is just that. It’s short and fun and doesn’t reveal much of anything. The teaser shows a soldier resting comfortably in a field, when suddenly a wave of Serious Sam villains charges at him. Just as the soldier falls to the ground believing he has no chance, the enemies run straight by him. They weren’t running at him, they were running away from something else....
