On February 12, organizers for “Recall Gavin 2020” said they have surpassed the 1.5 million signatures required to place the proposal on this year’s ballot. Once the signatures are verified and approved, the recall election would happen sometime over the summer. Betfair has said the chances of Newsom being recalled stand at 2-1. A week ago, before the campaign hit its target, the odds were at 5-1. William Hill placed the odds at 5-2 for Newsom getting recalled....

In a tweet Thursday morning, Newsom—a rising star in the Democratic Party who is considered a leading contender to succeed President Joe Biden—said he would be donating a six-figure sum to DeSantis’ opponent Charlie Crist, who resoundingly won his primary against Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried last week to represent his party on the November ballot. “Time to make Ron DeSantis a one-term governor,” Newsom tweeted. “I’m pledging $100k right now to @CharlieCrist....

Debuting during the Xbox E3 2019 press conference, a trailer for the Gears 5 Terminator: Dark Fate pre-order bonus surprised the audience. The trailer featured a bleak, post-apocalyptic landscape littered with skulls, skeletons, and COG armor. It could simply have been a regular environment in a typical Gears game, until the Terminator itself, modeled after Arnold Schwarzenegger’s iconic character, stomped on a skull and smiled for the camera. Officially, the Terminator: Dark Fate character pack will include just two skins, the T-800 Endoskeleton that is shown in the trailer and Sarah Connor....

Unfortunately, that does not apply for potential recruits, which is why, when South Carolina recently reported 22 minor violations they committed over the past year to the NCAA, one of them included “impermissible iced decorations on a cookie cakes given to prospects.” That’s right. Impermissible icing on cookie cakes. Here’s what the cookie cakes looked like. The NCAA: the cookie monster of collegiate athletics. UPDATE: The NCAA apparently later implemented an “OK, fine” attitude toward the “impermissible iced decorations....

On that note, one fan has summarized how the characters keep resonating with people all over the world....

While players could just tweak the gamma or brightness settings to make the darker scenes or areas brighter, it would also make the lighter areas annoyingly brighter or washed out. Some video game developers outright sacrifice visual clarity for artistic expression or probably what they perceive as adherence to realistic light behavior. These games are some of the best examples, and they need to lighten up. 7 Cyberpunk 2077 Release year: 2020 Platforms: Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Google Stadia, Microsoft Windows...

Hoping to push into the world of NFTs and open a marketplace for them by the end of July, GameStop is creating a browser extension wallet for customers to be able to freely buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrency right from their web browser. This move puts the company in the spotlight, assuring its place in the conversation about NFTs and cryptocurrency, which is exactly where GameStop wants to be....

GameStop has been on a downward trend recently, sales have been down, and the company has been closing retail locations to bring down costs. This is largely why there has been so much speculative action around the company’s stock. Some are convinced it will tank further, while the Reddit investors on the r/wallstreetbets thread are doing what they can to counter that. It’s created a volatile situation, but a few folks who invested in GameStop before this surge of activity stand to be the biggest winners in all of this....

While it might be hard to believe, Super Mario Galaxy was first launched in 2007. Released for the Nintendo Wii, the game sent Mario into outer space where he was tasked with traveling to various galaxies and recovering Power Stars to save Princess Peach. The title became popular with many fans and spawned a sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, several years later. While the original Super Mario Galaxy received another release as part of Super Mario 3D All-Stars in 2020, it would seem that most of the advertisements for the 2007 game are no longer around....

GW24 was a bit of a disaster for me. 38 points and a drop in rank down to 61K. All eyes are on City and Everton this week ahead of our first double of the season. City’s title hope took a hit after they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at St James Park, Newcastle’s first home win against the top 6 this season. So, I still stick by my statement last week that their assets should be avoided for now....
