American entrepreneurs John Jay Moores and Charles Noell have been in talks with the Everton board for a few months now. It has been reported that the Merseyside club are now hopeful that the deal will finally materialize. Club chairman Bill Kenwright had expressed his will to sell stakes earlier on and this has been the most positive development since then. Moores and Noell had earlier shown interest in the Wales-based club Swansea City but came up with no fruitful results or agreements....

Any lingering negativity from Everton losing to Tottenham 6-2 last Sunday was swept aside after 96 seconds as Yerry Mina headed in his first goal in English football. Lucas Digne curled in a superb free kick 11 minutes later, and Ben Mee’s handball allowed Gylfi Sigurdsson to net the third from the spot in the 22nd minute. Ben Gibson pulled one back before halftime on his first Premier League start for Burnley following double hernia surgery but any hopes of a second-half comeback were ended by Digne’s second in the 71st....

The Gunners lost 2-1 to the Hornets last week, which ended a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions - including four consecutive wins - and knocked them back in their attempts to climb up the Premier League table. Everton, meanwhile, are desperately seeking a win to snap them out of a dismal run of form. Ronald Koeman’s side have not tasted victory since late September and currently find themselves languishing at the bottom half of the table....

Everton vs Norwich City Preview Everton are in sixth place in the Premier League standings at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Toffees suffered a comprehensive 3-0 defeat against Aston Villa in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend. Norwich City have endured a poor start to life in the Premier League and cannot afford another set of defeats this month. The Canaries suffered a 3-1 defeat against Watford last week and have a point to prove going into this game....

All season long, spoilers have reported that James will pick Rachael Kirkconnell—yes, the woman who has been criticized for attending an “Old South-themed” party a few years ago. But details about a possible engagement between the two have been scarce so far. Reality Steve claimed on Thursday there will be no engagement—just a continued relationship for James and Kirkconnell outside of the series. A closer look into James’ final week, though, should tip fans off that there’s a ton more drama about to unfold....

The effort to re-release the BloodRayne series has been going on for a couple years. It started with BloodRayne: Terminal Cut and BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut on PC in 2020, which included the first two Bloodrayne games. This release was full of performance improvements, and was optimized to be played with controllers at high resolutions. More recently, WayForward’s BloodRayne: Betrayal has been ported to most platforms with its own improvements as BloodRayne Betrayal: Fresh Bites....

Doctor Doom has been beloved by fans for decades for his tragic backstory, nuanced yet larger-than-life characterization, and his many memorable schemes to achieve absolute power.

Here are just a few upcoming MCU films and shows that could potentially give fans their first glimpse of this infamous evil mastermind....

As the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake draws near, trailers and screenshots have been revealing several new characters coming to the game’s supporting cast.

Despite only launching about four years ago, the Nintendo Switch has already seen its fair share of revisions; a Switch boasting a better battery life and the handheld-only Switch Lite both debuted in 2019, while the upcoming OLED Model will be the fourth variant to date. The differences between the models are often subtle changes that may not update the Switch’s internals, but the systems are still marginally improved....

At the same time, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet kick off Gen 9 which could also include Pokemon Black and White Remakes, new experimental games, a new Legends game, and more. Eventually, however, Gen 9 will come to an end and Gen 10 will rear its head. The thing is, past games have done a good job of subtly teasing upcoming ones. For example, Pokemon Sword and Shield featured a Hotel wallpaper that had oranges and grapes on them, while Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl changed a normally white set of flowers to be scarlet and violet....

Even the whisper of a new game from a big studio is going to get fans riled up, and it’s inevitable that there will be a deluge of theorizing to accompany any rumors or leaks, however unsubstantiated. Players will try and guess what the new game could be, from its style to its scope but usually, there isn’t much behind this type of guesswork. Although sometimes new information can come from some fairly trustworthy sources or be patched together by eagle-eyed gamers, and it can help to shine a light on games like Matter before a studio makes its own official announcements....

The series is currently on hiatus after Konami canceled the promising Silent Hills, a collaboration between famed horror director Guillermo del Toro and Metal Gearcreator Hideo Kojima. While a revival isn’t in sight, let’s take the opportunity to look back on the series by ranking all games from the worst game in the series to the best Silent Hill game based on their Metacritic score. Some games lack representation because they never got scored on the website, but the mainline entries and the big name spin-offs are all covered....

By now, I expect many of you who are reading this have made up your minds about who you want to be president of the United States in 2021, and to serve you in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. However, I suspect some of you still need to be convinced of something: to go and cast your ballots. It is a cruel twist of fate that the most important election we have seen in modern American history is happening during the worst pandemic we have seen in modern American history....

While the spin-off and side installments of Kingdom Hearts reuse worlds often, Melody of Memory will have to be left out since its role as a recap game means that it revisits every level from the series. With that stipulation, the list is initially impressive, until fans realize that the majority of these worlds were only recently introduced into the series.

After all, European workers are just as capable, just as smart and just as creative as Americans, but American companies are universally acknowledged as the world’s best. This isn’t patriotic pride talking. In a famous study, Nicholas Bloom and John van Reenan, two British-born academics, demonstrated that U.S. firms are the best-run in the world, on average. Better management matters because it generates more wealth from the same stock of inputs....

Title Update 1 seems pretty cut-and-dry after the Digital Event showcase, which is a shame. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak’s marketing left few surprises to discover upon booting up the expansion, and some additions in this first update would have been fun to discover organically. Still, having that advanced knowledge should give fans time to prepare their best armor for greater challenges to come. RELATED: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Review...

The Disgaea franchise started all the way back in 2003 on the PS2. This whacky tactical RPG was a niche hit at the time and has continued to grow its fan base as the sequels carry on.
