It’s being officially dubbed the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 “Warehouse Demo.” That’s because it focuses on one of the franchise’s most iconic levels, the Warehouse, from the first Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. It’s about the purest Tony Hawk experience Activision can provide. Players will have two minutes to rack up as many points as possible within the Warehouse in Single Session mode.

In short, it is a study of the quality of chances a player has received. It can also be used as a metric to define how good or bad a player’s finishing ability is....

“I Want a Famous Face” is disgusting in so many ways, it’s hard to know where to begin. The show is exactly what it sounds like–a look at people who not only don’t like their appearance, they want to assume the identity of their favorite celebrity. A plus-size woman gets tucked, lifted and lipoed in hopes of looking like Kate Winslet. A professional Britney Spears impersonator goes in for Britney-size breasts....

His signature win in the Breeders’ Cup Classic should solidify his credentials for multiple honors. Accelerate took the lead at the top of the stretch and held off Gunnevera to win the $6 million Classic by a length Saturday, strengthening his bid for Horse of the Year over Triple Crown winner Justify. The race lacked the retired 3-year-old star and left a wide-open field, which the 5-year-old chestnut horse eventually overtook after breaking from the No....

David Mathis fired his first hole-in-one at a US PGA event on the way to a six-under par 64 and a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Travelers Championship. Australian Nathan Green, Sweden’s Fredrik Jacobson and American Will Claxton shared second on 65 with 10 rivals another stroke adrift, including new US Open champion Webb Simpson and US compatriot Bubba Watson, the 2012 Masters winner. Mathis, who began on the back nine, opened with a birdie and then aced the par-3 11th and followed that up with birdies on three of the next four holes to reach six-under after six holes....

The pick of the bunch is the Spin 514, Acer’s flagship convertible Chromebook. This 2021 refresh focuses on performance and video calling, both of which are crucial to effective remote working. It’s powered by Intel’s latest 11th-gen processors (i5 or i7), alongside Iris Xe integrated graphics and 8 or 16GB of RAM. Chromebooks are typically less powerful than their Windows counterparts, but that doesn’t look to be the case here....

Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly told personnel aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt that their former commander, Captain Brett Crozier, was “too naive or too stupid to be a commanding officer of a ship like this” if he was unaware that his desperate plea for Pacific Fleet leadership to provide additional resources to help him isolate COVID-19-infected sailors aboard the ship would go public, a comment met with jeers and expletives by the military audience....

Vice reported that at least three members of the U.S. military were posters on the message boards of Iron March, which the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as an “influential online gathering place for young neo-Nazis and neo-fascists.” Vice did not identify the posters, but Newsweek has identified one of them as U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Liam J. Collins, 20, a rifleman with 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company of the 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, an infantry unit out of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina....

This news surfaced after Activision registered several domains, all relating to something called GoldenEye Reloaded. A total of four domains were registered, which makes it seem like Activision is keen on owning every website that relates to the name GoldenEye Reloaded. “GoldenEyeReloadedGame.com”, “GoldenEyeReloaded007.com”, “GoldenEye007GameReloaded.com” and “GoldenEye007Reloaded.com” were all registered to the timidly-succesful gaming juggernaut, and the most surprising thing about this recent development is that nobody really knows what the game is....
