Of all the hilarious and memorable characters, the real breakout star is undeniably Bender Bending Rodriguez - the show’s lovable wise-cracking heavy drinking carefree robot. Many fans would agree that the episode when he becomes a god lost in space is his best. With a deeper assessment, Bender is seen at his best, purest version of himself, in the episode where he becomes the pharaoh of planet Osiris IV. It is not only one of the funniest episodes in the show, but it is the best Bender episode of all....

Previous Kirby games have featured interactive hubs before, but Waddle Dee Town seems particularly special. Over the course of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, players rescue Waddle Dees from the Beast Pack, and these Waddle Dees help build up the hub area known as Waddle Dee Town, providing a variety of useful mechanics and fun minigames. Waddle Dee Town’s usefulness and satisfying gradual build-up make a strong argument for including a similar interactive hub in a future game....

Gallo produced an epic pregame batting practice. performance in which he broke a truck window out on the right field pavilion and almost hit the Target Center Arena across the street. He then smashed a 420-foot, game-winning home run in the sixth inning and took home the MVP award. Gallo has the best pure power in the minors and displays almost inhuman bat speed. His contact rate — 113 strikeouts in 290 at-bats this season between High-A and Double-A — is a real concern and he showed his swing-and-miss tendencies early in the game by fanning in his first two at-bats....

Daredevils, yet to win an IPL crown, are in the last spot in the points table after losing five of the six games they figured in, their sole win coming against defending champions Mumbai Indians here. “I don’t think Gambhir’s leadership was a problem, it was just about the batsmen not getting runs, notable failure like (Glenn) Maxwell hurting them. Gambhir, the batsman, thereby had to get runs because the others were failing around him....

More than 40 pages of internal casino documents provided to The Washington Monthly and NEWSWEEK paint a picture of a gambler given the high-roller treatment, including limos, comped hotel rooms and several $200,000 lines of credit. In one two-month period, the documents show him wiring more than $1.4 million to cover losses at one casino. And Bennett must have worried about news of his habit leaking out. Typed across one casino form are the words: no contact at res or biz!...

The ensuing backlash around the Hello Games title has now led The Game Awards to reconsider how it does things, with the annual event set to feature more gameplay footage and less CGI next time around. In an interview with Polygon, The Game Awards host and producer Geoff Keighley says that he has “thought about the story of No Man’s Sky a lot,” asking himself “did we create this black hole of hype that the developers couldn’t pull themselves out of?...

Even though Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s third trailer did reveal three new pocket monsters coming with Gen 9, which brought the total of known Pokemon to 11, this is still a very low amount of new critters to showcase since February. The Paldean Pokedex also doesn’t yet include many critters as a whole, counting both new and returning Pokemon, which means that many things are going to remain a mystery leading into the coming months....

In case you didn’t know… Roman Reigns defeated The Miz for the WWE Intercontinental Championship on the November 20th edition of Monday Night Raw. It was the last time The Miz appeared on Raw in 2017 as he was off to film the next instalment of The Marine.

In case you didn’t know… On Monday Night Raw, Kurt Angle confirmed that there will be a fatal five-way match to determine the number one contender for Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship. It will likely be The Beast’s first defence of his title since winning it at WrestleMania 33 against Goldberg, with many people resenting the fact that a part timer is World Champion once again. The heart of the matter The report suggests that they could be moving the planned SummerSlam title match to Great Balls of Fire, instead choosing to have Strowman wrestle Lesnar at the biggest party of the summer if he is in fact cleared....

In case you didn’t know… Brock Lesnar has been advertised for No Mercy in September, which could be a huge indication that Lesnar will indeed retain the title at both Great Balls Of Fire and Summerslam. His rumoured opponent for Summerslam is Braun Strowman, according to our reports. The end goal of Lesnar’s Universal title reign is for him to face off against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans, with the objective being to put Roman over in his 4th straight WrestleMania main event....

The company did this with the announcement they made about a match that will occur at the Greatest Royal Rumble live event in Saudi Arabia on 27 April. In case you didn’t know… A few weeks ago, Braun Strowman won a battle royal in the main event of RAW to become the No. 1 contender to Sheamus and Cesaro’s RAW Tag Team Titles for WrestleMania 34. Obviously, this was a shock considering Strowman is a singles star, so it didn’t seem possible that he could win a match mean for tag-teams legally (I’m sure someone has the WWE Guidebook somewhere)....

The House of Representatives voted 252-175 in favor of the commission, with all 175 votes against coming from the GOP benches. Proponents included 35 Republicans who split with their party to vote in favor of the 9/11-style probe into the pro-Trump riots, which followed a rally the former president held nearby earlier in the day.

The couple’s former foundation, Sussex Royal, had been accused of mismanaging around £300,000 ($420,000) but was cleared of acting unlawfully following a review by regulator the Charity Commission. The group, Republic, made its allegations in July last year and at the time Harry threatened the “weight of the law” against the pressure group. Yesterday, the organization posted an apology to its website acknowledging its claims had been false. It is the latest in a line of victories for the couple who have been using lawyers to draw a line around their privacy and reputational rights....

That 1982 song from “Undercover,” the third in their set after “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Shattered,” may be the least-known song on the playlist, but it’s the moment when “Shine a Light” totally takes off—check out the erotic body language between Mick and backup singer Lisa Fisher—and Scorsese delivers a Stones concert film of shimmering intimacy. “Shine a Light” has a few tasty backstage glimpses of Scorsese and the Stones preparing for the gig (the co-host that night is none other than Bill Clinton)....
