Instead, he was greeted with a cheering crowd of familiar faces who were all there to see him. “Thought he was going to an 18th and walked into his surprise 80th,” Rigby captioned the now-viral TikTok post. “Melts my heart he does.” The clip, which can be seen here, has gained over 5 million views and 1 million likes, for clear reason—his reaction has warmed hearts across the world....

By Amanpreet Singh New Delhi, Sep 3 (PTI) Outgoing Sports Minister Vijay Goel today asserted that he had a successful stint in office and categorically stated that the government alone cannot build a sports culture in the country.

“There is a massive outbreak of COVID-19 across the state of Texas,” Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, told KFDA, a television station based in the Texas panhandle. The governor said health officials were expected on Wednesday to report more than 5,000 new cases for the second day in a row. Tuesday was the first day since the pandemic began that Texas reported an increase of more than 5,000 new cases....

Wendy Auger, a bartender in Rochester, has had plates reading “PB4UGO” for 15 years. But last week, she received a recall notice from the DMV, ordering her exchange them for a standard license plate or another vanity plate. “Who has a mom or dad or parental figure who hasn’t said [‘pee before you go’] to kids before leaving the house?,” Auger told Seacoast Online. “I’m not the type to sit here with a picket, but come on....

Roberto Pereyra scored both goals for the hosts at Vicarage Road on Saturday, including a stunning volley that opened the scoring 10 minutes before the half-time interval. The former Juventus midfielder curled home a second after the break as Watford ran out comfortable winners against a Brighton side that failed to muster an attempt on target. “I’m very happy because we got a good result, but the way we did it was better,” Gracia told Sky Sports....

Back in 2008, Suggs battled the NFL and his team over the position at which he should have been designated, with millions of extra dollars on that one-year salary at stake. Graham appears to be in the same position, as speculation increases that Graham will fight to be designated as a wide receiver instead of his listed position of tight end — where he has made two Pro Bowls in his four NFL seasons....

The newest addition to the iconic racing series, Gran Turismo 7 released in March 2022. On its release the game received generally favorable reviews, but many players were upset at the amount and scale of microtransactions present in the game. Some of the more expensive cars could cost as much as $200. Despite these criticisms, the game still sold quite well, and Polyphony Digital quickly made changes that garnered more goodwill from the fanbase....

Giving away weekly free titles has been another Epic strategy to pull in new customers. Those who have visited the site regularly since the program launched could potentially have received thousands of dollars of free games from the Epic Games Store. And despite paying millions of dollars to developers for the games, the strategy seems to be paying off. Epic had originally intended for the program to only run until the end of 2019 but decided to prolong it through 2021....

A modder by the name of Razed has released a mod that makes Grand Theft Auto 5 footage look like video captured in real life. The ultra high-definition mod, officially titled NaturalVision Remastered, overhauls Razed’s previous NaturalVision project and alters the game’s environment, tone mapping, color palette (particularly ambient shades), lighting system, and weathers. As Razed explains, this is done to blur the line between reality and fantasy. In order to make the game look as photo-realistic as possible, Razed explains that they viewed upwards of 40 hours of footage taken in Southern California for reference, along with hundreds of photos and Google Street View images of Los Angeles, Salton Sea, and their neighboring districts....

The PS2 Grand Theft Auto games are classics in the eyes of many, so to see what became of them in The Trilogy remasters disappointed a large section of the gaming community. From the bizarre rain effect that makes the games at time unplayable, to the inconsistent, and often jarring character models, The Trilogy has a litany of questionable design decisions. To make matters worse, The Trilogy officially replaced the classic titles on practically every digital platform, making a piece of gaming history inaccessible in favor of the controversial remasters....

Since its discovery in 2003, graphene has been a hot topic in chemistry and materials science research. When first discovered, graphene was odd. Now odd is too small a word to describe a material seemingly set on winning all the records a material can win. This graphic looks at some details of graphene and uses of this miracle material of the future. Carbon is everywhere, in your pencil for example....

It has been confirmed that the game’s main story will involve the Court of Owls. However, Gotham Knight’s “villain crimes” missions will focus on other Batman bad guys, potentially giving underrated villains their time in the spotlight in Gotham Knights.

RELATED: Gotham Knights: How to Switch Characters Gotham City is known to be one of the worst places to live in the DC Universe, and now that its protector is gone, crime has started to rise once more. Gotham Knights, whilst not part of the Arkhamverse franchise from Rocksteady, still feels comparable with the award-winning Arkham games. Featuring a unique version of Gotham City, the open-world version of Gotham Knights is much bigger than previous Batman Arkham titles....

Speaking of which, the Twitch streamer known as KingGothalion recently experienced a surprising encounter with an unknown alien in No Man’s Sky while he was looking for one of the last species on a particular planet. For those unaware, finding all ten, along with the discovery of other waypoints, will unlock a monetary reward in the form of Units, so his bounty was definitely doubled with both a useful payment and unanticipated exhilaration....

E3 offers publishers and developers a massive stage and an enthusiastic audience. When a demo truly connects the effect can be electric, as with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves at E3 2009. However, the opposite can also be true. Any number of things can go wrong: technical difficulties, flubbed line readings, celebrities ill suited to play games on stage, over-caffeinated hosts. These “unscripted” moments can be the most entertaining parts of the big E3 Press Conferences, at least for the audience, and that’s what we will be celebrating here....

“Your inaugural speech rings hollow, my friend,” Graham said in a press conference on Friday, referring to Biden’s inaugural remarks stressing unity. “You could pick up the phone and end this right now by leading us to a compromise on unemployment insurance that makes sense for the American people and American economy.” The South Carolina Republican added, “I wish you would do it. Instead of trying to break apart bipartisanship, try to bring us together....

“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it,” Graham tweeted in 2016 when Trump was campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination. Though Graham has long since changed his tune on the president, by Wednesday morning, the tweet had begun recirculating as Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock appeared to have won their races in a key Georgia runoff. The Associated Press has named Warnock the winner over Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler, while Jon Ossoff holds a narrow lead over Republican Senator David Perdue....

Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria are loosely categorized into two types, gram-positive and gram-negative. Gram-positive bacteria have a thick layer made up of polymers of protein-sugar molecules called peptidoglycan. Gram staining of the peptidoglycan layer (which is the cell wall) with a chemical called crystal violet results in purple coloration of the gram-positive bacteria. Addition of acetone or alcohol dehydrates the bacteria, causing it to retain the purple color. Gram-negative bacteria have an additional outer membrane whose properties resist acetone/alcohol-dehydration and result in loss of the crystal violet stain....

The Game has had a keen interest in Rock and Roll and Metal for a long time. He has had Motorhead perform him to the ring on more than one occasion. Moreover, NXT often selects songs from bands like Code Orange and Metallica as their official event anthems. From the looks of their interaction on Twitter, it seems like Poppy will be performing at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. Poppy sent out a Tweet today putting out the idea of performing at the event....
