RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Greek shooter Anna Korakaki took the gold medal in the women’s 25 metre pistol event on Tuesday, two days after she won a bronze and became the first woman to win a medal in shooting for Greece. The 20-year-old Korakaki prevailed over Monika Karsch, a 33-year-old from Germany, who mounted a late but ultimately unsuccessful rally after Korakaki established a strong lead. The two are first-time Olympians....
Monday night’s game in San Diego started like the old Cutler joke — a strip sack in the first quarter and a pick six in the second quarter. Then came that old Cutler meme, the one that should come with the surgeon general’s warning.

Multiplayer does already exist in the game, in a somewhat limited form. Referred to as “joint exploration,” multiple players can meet at the same place in the infinitely procedural universe of No Man’s Sky, though others can only be seen as floating orbs of light. Players are able to speak over voice chat, share notes and messages, and check out bases together. However, the latest info on the Xbox One release of the game seems to suggest that a “true” multiplayer mode will be coming in the next big update, with up to four players cooperatively....
Coronavirus has many Americans in a shutdown, but it did not stop parrotheads from flocking to Twitter and chirping their favorite songs that most people don’t quite know by heart. There are no changes in latitude, travelers on the ole A1A or others just seeking a salty piece of land to claim exemption from the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19. Not even Joe Merchant, himself. Fans of beachcombing songwriter Jimmy Buffett have collaborated to form a list of songs they love to hear from the heart during the recent coronavirus, and Buffett’s most-popular tune “Margaritaville” did not even make the list, according to his Twitter followers....
One of the staples of the series is its quirky cast of characters that Travis Touchdown encounters. One character in particular, Kimmy Howell, is an optional secret boss fight in No More Heroes 2 that players can choose if they want to fight, even though it will not impact the story. To help players prove why Travis the Great lives up to his name, here are some tips on how to face Kimmy in the game....
The question now is whether Britain will distance itself decisively from its ally, leaving the United States more isolated in the war on terror. Gordon Brown, the all-but-anointed prime-minister-in-waiting, restricts himself to tepid endorsements of Bush’s foreign policy and evidently feels no love for it. David Cameron, the fresh leader of the opposition Conservative Party, knows how to read the national mood. He is not going to pick up the pro-American baton....
Speaking to the Bild, Rummenigge said: “We will not make any more purchases. We have the squad to stand now, as we wanted it. “We have deliberately brought alongside Thiago and Gotze, because we see it as the greatest talent of his year in Germany and Europe.” Bayern have spent £ 54.5 million so far for the services of Thiago Alcantara from Barcelona and Mario Gotze from Borussia Dortmund. They have also got centre back Jan Kirchhoff on a free transfer from FSV Mainz 05....
At the time of this writing, the Nintendo Switch Online Overview Trailer has 10,000 dislikes versus 8,500 likes. A look at the comment section reveals exactly why people aren’t happy with the trailer and Nintendo’s online services, and as it turns out, there’s a few different reasons for the backlash. RELATED: New NES and SNES Games Revealed for Nintendo Switch Online One of the biggest reasons why the trailer has been flooded with dislikes is because it includes footage of the Super Mario Bros....
RELATED: Genshin Impact: Other Games With Insane Gacha Features Though Genshin Impact is a fun experience, there are plenty of other RPGs that have similar gameplay elements that fans will want to check out. Nintendo Switch owners in particular have a lot of RPG options to add to their must-play list. Updated November 27, 2022, by Ritwik Mitra: Genshin Impact was written off as nothing more than a free-to-play Breath of the Wild clone before release, but the game’s surprisingly engaging gameplay, a wealth of content, and a cast of memorable characters more than justify it as one of the best free action titles around....
The focus of the initial Wii Sports was for it to be a family game. However, over a decade after the release of Wii Sports, Nintendo’s online functionality has improved somewhat, and one of the major changes fans noticed from the details of Nintendo Switch Sports was the focus on online play. For the first time in a Nintendo sports title, players will be able to compete in an online ranked multiplayer on Nintendo Switch Sports....
While many have compared Nioh 2 to Dark Souls, the game offers more hack and slash elements and also a more cohesive story. The title also has a co-op mode which is expansive and perhaps most importantly, Nioh 2 is large in terms of the depth in the world and playtime. Despite the size of the game, there seem to be plenty more features and narrative weight arriving in July....
With two such similar games, the obvious question becomes: Which is better? To reach a fair answer, it’s important to break both of the games down, compare what they do the same, and what they do differently. Ultimately, there can only be one “Best Samurai Souls-like.” RELATED: Watch Some Nioh 2 Tengu’s Disciple DLC Gameplay Nioh 2’s Advantages The prequel of 2017’s Nioh doesn’t stray far from the formula of its predecessor....
The Polish number one ranked 77th in the world handed the favourite his exit papers as Nishikori played the Gulf event for the first time.

Durr has never held political office, but was leading Sweeney by over 2,000 votes on Wednesday night despite running a barebones campaign that included spending only $153 during the primary. Sweeney, the longest-serving New Jersey Senate president, announced that he was postponing a meeting to determine the leaders of the next Senate session earlier in the day. “Due to the closeness of several State Senate elections, the leadership caucus scheduled for tomorrow will be delayed,” Sweeney said, according to the New Jersey Globe....

Headlines such as “Huge asteroid is set to hit the Earth this week” have appeared online. Tweets racking up millions of views have been posted to social media indicating that a large space rock is on a collision course with our planet. To be clear, no known asteroid is predicted to collide with the Earth this week, or indeed, in the foreseeable future. The tweets and articles are referring to an asteroid known as 2023 BU that is set for an “extremely close” encounter with Earth on Thursday, according to astronomer Gianluca Masi with the Virtual Telescope Project....
In 1992, it was a big-eared Texas tycoon, Ross Perot, lifting ballots from Bush 41’s pocket. In 2000, it was Ralph Nader, clipping enough votes from Al Gore to make him a wanted man among liberal Democrats. It’s too soon to tell who will be the “spoiler” candidate for 2008, but at least one new 527 group is in the running to supply one: Unity08. The organization’s long list of “founders” is an odd mix of high-school and college students and veteran political operatives–including Doug Bailey, a former Gerald Ford strategist, and Hamilton Jordan, once Jimmy Carter’s chief of staff....
