Part of Doc Ock’s modern popularity is due to his portrayal by Alfred Molina in the Spider-Man films. The actor reprises his role in the recently released and continually dominant Spider-Man: No Way Home, playing the same Doc Okc from the original Spider-Man 2 but brought into the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Doc Ock also has seen attention due to his appearance in Marvel’s Spider-Man by Insomniac Games, playing a much more subdued version of the character, whose transformation can slowly be followed across the game’s roughly 20-hour runtime....

The console shortage is expected to continue through 2022 and, judging by social media, many people have stopped actively trying to buy the new hardware. One potential positive is that the Xbox Series X and PS5 shortage may result in a longer generation than usual. Some gamers love to upgrade their gear frequently, while others remain content with their PS4 and Xbox One consoles. And because many people won’t be able to get their hands on current-gen hardware for quite a while yet, gamers might not be interested if another console generation launches too soon....

In a recent interview with Game Rant, GameStop senior director of merchandising, Eric Bright, revealed the latest Zelda title has reinvigorated sales of pre-owned Wii U consoles. Bright said: It’s likely another factor in the increased pre-owned Wii U sales is the limited availability of the Nintendo Switch. The new Nintendo console is in high demand and only a handful of units were available at launch earlier this month. Fortunately, new consoles are on the way for GameStop and other retailers, and Nintendo has doubled production to meet demand for the Nintendo Switch....

In a series of interviews with Polygon, employees, including current and former store managers, expressed concerns and frustrations with GameStop and its future. “The company is frantic and distrustful,” one assistant manager said, “The structure is falling apart and they’re scrambling.” Last month, GameStop announced that 55 US stores were closing, which hasn’t helped employees’ opinions of the company. RELATED: GameStop Shutting Down Several Stores in Europe One former manager cited in the report believes that GameStop may close as many as one thousand locations this year, despite GameStop planning major redesigns for stores, which seek to transform into a sort of cultural center rather than a typical retail store....

Michigan State's star sophomore guard scored 26 points, including nine straight for the Spartans in one second-half stretch, as MSU beat Indiana 73-56 in Bloomington. Spartans coach Tom Izzo said Harris is still building his endurance from all of the time he missed last month as he rehabbed an ankle injury that he aggravated in the Dec. 4 loss to North Carolina. "He's a special player, and I promise he's not even close to where he's going to be," Izzo said....

Woodland showed nerves of steel to claim a memorable three-stroke victory at Pebble Beach, denying two-time reigning champion Brooks Koepka on Sunday. The 35-year-old American — who was calm throughout amid Koepka’s surge — carded a two-under-par 69 to secure his maiden major. Sunday’s result proved Woodland’s decision to swap college basketball in pursuit of a golf career was a wise one. Woodland played D-II basketball at Washburn before transferring to play golf at Kansas in the early 2000s and the four-time PGA Tour winner recalled the moment he left the court for the greens....

Anatomy The gastrocnemius muscle originates as two heads behind your knee. The medial, or inside, head arises from the medial condyle of the back of your femur (thigh bone). The lateral head on the outside part of your lower leg arises from the lateral condyle of your femur. The muscle then courses down the back of your leg and joins the deeper soleus muscle. They both form the Achilles tendon and attach on the posterior aspect of your calcaneus, or heel bone....

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Gautam Gambhir on Saturday rued dropping Royal Challengers Bangalore opener Chris Gayle twice as he said, “If you keep dropping catches, someone like Chris will hurt you.” On both occasions the culprit was South African fast-bowler Morne Morkel who first dropped the left-hander on 33 and then again on 63. Gayle went onto score 96 from 56 balls helping his side register a three wicket win at the Eden Gardens....

India and Australia start a five-match ODI series today and Australia have handed Ashton Turner a debut. There’s another ODI series that will be underway from tomorrow and that is between South Africa and Sri Lanka as the two sides look to build towards the World Cup.

On Thursday, the governor added nine more counties to the list under the emergency declaration he first issued two months ago, making the drought official in 50 of California’s 58 counties. San Luis Obispo, Inyo, Marin, Mono, Monterey, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz were added to the list this week. The 50 affected counties account for 42 percent of California’s population. Rather than imposing mandatory cutbacks, Newsom is calling on Californians to take individual steps to help save water, including taking shorter showers, reducing outdoor watering and using dishwashers and laundry machines less often....

Gayle announced in February he would retire after the World Cup, though he later altered his decision during the tournament in England.

He added that the Israeli airstrikes have also damaged supply lines and the continued bombing is preventing company staff from reaching areas that were hit....

Soviet Jump Game is free to play, with the only paid content being cosmetics, sound effect packs, and taunts for the growing, reference-stuffed roster of over 40 characters. The game’s promotional lore states that it was the first ever battle royale, made for the Dendy, a Russian knockoff NES clone. Filled with over-the-top, comical Soviet propaganda, the game’s forward-thinking, complex mechanics could barely fit on the cartridge, resulting in a charmingly glitchy appearance....
