Just a few weeks ago, Mojang hosted its Minecraft Live event, and teased all of its upcoming projects. Along with a gameplay reveal for Minecraft Legends, Minecraft’s upcoming 1.20 update was also shown off in quite a bit of detail. Minecraft’s 1.20 update is set to introduce bamboo wood, new signpost and bookshelf blocks, and some new creator tool features. But by far the most exciting announcement was that Minecraft 1....
M&MX is a consciously retro-feeling affair, harkening back to the first person, turn-based dungeon exploration games of the mid 1990s. The primary change from its ancient predecessors is simply the graphics and a more polished user interface, and frankly neither of those are on the cutting edge either. This is not a particularly attractive or visually dynamic game, but that’s not the point. It exists to answer protests that today’s roleplaying games lack tactical depth compared to the blocky, slower but more thoughtful RPGs of the past....
Mike Bennett on why he’s unhappy with Vince McMahon and WWE Mike Bennett was a guest on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast recently and opened up about his WWE release and why he was unhappy with Vince McMahon. Bennett said that WWE denied his initial request for release only to let him go months later during the pandemic. Mike Benne was also unhappy with how WWE and Vince McMahon treated his wife, releasing her while she was pregnant:...
Recorded during The New One’s Broadway run, the special is perhaps Birbiglia’s most ambitious yet. While the 41-year-old comic has made a name for himself telling long stories about his life, The New One features music queues, props and his wife’s poetry. While many comics share their reservations and difficulties of being a father, Birbiglia delivers his story with enough grandness and humor that’s fit for the Great White Way....
Bloomberg’s $11 million ad featured Calandrian Simpson Kemp, the bereaved mother of 20-year-old George Kemp Jr. from Texas who was shot dead during an altercation in 2013. In the video, Kemp lauded Bloomberg’s past support for new gun regulations and suggested he is the best candidate to take on the pro-gun lobby. But the ad also included a graphic declaring that “2,900 children die from gun violence every year,” a figure that fact checkers quickly criticized as misleading or outright false....
The Hawks rallied late at home against the Spurs and held on for a 114-112 overtime win Sunday. Kawhi Leonard missed an open lay-up as time expired in overtime, giving Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer his first win over his former boss, Gregg Popovich. Prior to Sunday, Atlanta (18-16) had lost 11 straight to San Antonio (27-7). “Any time you had that kind of streak, no matter what conference it’s from, it’s nice to beat somebody,” Budenholzer told reporters after the game....
Like a number of other prominent supporters of the former president, Lindell continues to promote baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. The conservative businessman claims that China hacked voting machines and rigged the election in favor of President Joe Biden. He has claimed for months that he is preparing “evidence” that he plans to submit to the Supreme Court. “Everybody knows it’s the biggest farce—the biggest crime in history,” Lindell said during the Freedom Festival held by the Antrim County Conservative Union at the Friske Farm Market in Ellsworth....
According to reporters traveling with Pence’s campaign, “Hibbing police confirmed more than 650 people in attendance, exceeding Minnesota health guidelines to restrict crowds to 250 people.” While smaller than the thousands of Trump supporters who typically show up for such events, Pence’s appearance still breached Minnesota’s reopening plan, which states outdoor events should have social distancing of at least six feet and not exceed 250 people. Jennifer Carnahan, chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota, defended the rally, saying it wasn’t the GOP that was ignoring the guidelines but Minnesotans who wanted to see the vice president....
According to the Irish network RTE, Pence has ancestral links to Doonbeg through his grandparents and will eat at a distant relative’s restaurant in the town during the trip. Pence arrived in Ireland from Poland on Monday evening, where he met with Simon Coveney, minister of foreign affairs and trade. He replaced President Trump on the visit to Poland after the U.S. leader decided to stay home and monitor Hurricane Dorian....
Former Secretary of State Pompeo told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum that the only way to avoid conflict with the Chinese Communist Party was to “demonstrate resolve and capacity” to safeguard American interests. Pompeo was responding to comments by Biden on November 2, when he told a press conference at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, that Xi had made a “big mistake” by not attending the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference....
Ok, then. I find that hard to believe, but at the same time know why. George, one of the greatest hitters ever, was there to coach, to offer his expertise, to suggest mechanics that might make a young hitter better. The other coach was there to coach as well, but not with a sense of urgency — rather, more by telling the hitters what they wanted to hear. George eventually quit because he felt he was wasting everyone’s time in a failing effort to connect with them....

During a visit to “The Nightly Show” with Larry Wilmore, they played a game to figure out who the boxer could or couldn’t beat in a fight. The interesting part was bring fictional fighters into the mix. Between Tyson and Muhammad Ali, he was quick to say the legendary boxer would take him. However, when it comes to the “Million Dollar Baby,” that’s a different story. “She might win,” Tyson said....
Back in July, Baltimore Ravens receiver Miles Boykin revealed a dirty childhood secret: back when he was in 6th grade, he put his Xbox Live Gold subscription on his mom Felicia’s credit card without telling her. It was only until earlier this summer that she found out about it, but as Boykin told it, she insisted on continuing to pay since she’d already been doing so for years without knowing, a classic example of parental guilt-tripping....
“The Department of Justice has found and recaptured the majority of the ransom Colonial paid to the DarkSide network in the wake of last month’s ransomware attack,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said at a Monday press conference. She added, “Ransomware attacks are always unacceptable, but when they target critical infrastructure, we will spare no effort in our response.” The seizure was conducted as part of the department’s recently launched Ransomware and Digital Extortion Task Force....

When Mojang first announced the Deep Dark biome and its ancient cities, it didn’t reveal the kinds of items that players would find there. Instead, it focused on emphasizing the challenge of the Warden and the cities’ atmosphere.
