“It’s time to have a realistic conversation about creating a playoff for the Group of 5,” Northern Illinois athletic director Sean Frazier told ESPN. “Why not?” MORE: Power 5 vs. Group of 5: College football’s split decision Group of 5 schools are realizing there is a miniscule chance they will ever be one of the four teams selected in the current College Football Playoff format. “That’s just reality,” Frazier told ESPN....
Minecraft Dungeons is a dungeon crawler hack and slash adventure set in the world of Minecraft. In some regards, reviewers are right in that the game does lack some distinctly Minecraft elements (after all, there is literally no mining or crafting in the game), but a lot of other criticisms the game has received are missing the point. It’s important to look at Minecraft Dungeons for what it is, not what many may have wanted it to be....
Handheld gaming devices have been popular ever since the early years of Nintendo as a gaming company with the Game Boy, so it was inevitable that Valve would begin a plan to break into this part of the industry. The Steam Deck was announced back in July 2021, and it is a handheld gaming computer that is meant to be used to play all games available in the Steam library....
What if NXT were to do a Mixed Match Challenge of its own, or have teams participating in the next one? One of the things that made the Mixed Match Challenge so enjoyable the first time around was the varying pairings, some of which were true odd couples. Their interactions with each other and their opponents made for some of the funniest programmings in the WWE week. It seems a letdown that NXT didn’t get to join in on the fun, and if it were to be involved somehow, some pairings come to mind that would make for entertaining viewing....
Attention immediately fell on the pair of would-be rap impresarios being prosecuted by Luna last week on drug and weapons charges. But the duo, still in government custody, had made plea agreements with Luna on Wednesday, and were waiting to finalize their deals in court the morning his body was discovered. They denied involvement with the murder. Luna, a former rising star, had lately been in a slump. A Democrat, he didn’t get along well with his Republican boss, Thomas DiBiagio; relations had dipped so low that Luna had retained a lawyer and considered filing a complaint against the office, although he ultimately decided against the move....
With Pokemon designs being inspired by anything from mythology to household objects, some fans have even made their own Pokemon and regions.

The new villain in Sonic Forces is named Infinite, and he is a powerful hedgehog that appears to possess some sort of psychic abilities. In the new trailer, we see Infinite team with Dr. Eggman to battle Sonic and Tails, and Tails notes that Infinite is even faster than Sonic. There’s still a lot we don’t know about Infinite, but it’s clear by this trailer that he poses a significant threat to Sonic, and should give him a run for his money when the game releases later this year....
Many of Sonic Frontiers’ skills are of particular use during the game’s boss fights, which require players to deal huge amounts of damage quickly in order to succeed, especially when the skills are chained together for greater effect and damage. RELATED: Sonic Frontiers: Where to Find Elder Koco & Hermit Koco to Upgrade Sonic Air Trick An excellent early pick, Air Trick is close to the top of the skill tree and allows Sonic to perform tricks in the air when launching off certain ramps and other objects....
The story of Sonic Frontiers is being created in part by Ian Flynn, who also worked on the IDW Sonic comics. Flynn has said he is working based on the groundwork of the story set by Sonic Team, adding things like the dialogue and character interactions. That character focus is something he’s likely familiar with from his work on the comics, and is part of why this new game may end up more tonally mature than past titles....
Sonic Frontiers has been on fans’ minds for quite a while due to the intrigue the game has created. For quite some time, the only things fans knew about the game was that it would be the series’ first attempt at an open world. With how Frontiers is treading new territory, as well as some interesting comments from Sonic Team, players were incredibly curious as to what they could expect from this new title....
We say interesting, as updates usually bring bigger, better, and shinier features than the previous model. But, Sonos is swimming against the tide here and has decided to remove a feature from the newly launched Sonos Roam SL, rather than adding something new. So, what is the Sonos Roam SL, and is it worth your money? Sonos Roam SL Launchers Without Key Feature However, other than those changes, the Sonos Roam SL remains effectively the same....
The Game Audio Network Guild, or G.A.N.G., was founded in 2002 to celebrate those in the game audio industry and help professionals improve their craft. Every year, they host an awards show to honor the best of the best in categories such as sound design, dialogue, voice performance, accessibility and more. The Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, and Hades have been regular stars this awards season, so it was no surprise to see these three games leading in nominations going into the night....
While some fans were quick to reply with comments saying Sony should have acknowledged the problem sooner, some comments thanked Sony for saying anything at all. Others, as usual, were console warring and arguing over which console is superior to the other. While the tweet did not acknowledge PS5 pre-orders possibly not arriving launch day, it did reassure fans that more consoles will be available.

Why Is AT&T Selling Crunchyroll? We previously reported that Sony was close to acquiring Crunchyroll, after the service had been shopped around different companies. Now, that has become a reality, as confirmed in a Sony and AT&T press release. Crunchyroll was founded in 2006 by university graduates, before being acquired by AT&T in 2018 as part of its $85 billion purchase of Time Warner. According to Bloomberg, AT&T are looking to unload assets and pay debt....

Here is the schedule for Indian athletes in action today at the Winter Olympics: 8 pm (IST) Luge – Shiva Keshavan – Heat 1, Men’s singles run The 32 year-old Keshavan, competing under the IOC flag rather than the Indian one, will be participating in his fifth Winter Games.

Manchester United beat Bayer Leverkusen 5-0 to secure their passage to the Champions League knockout stage. Antonio Valencia gave United the lead in the 22nd minute, making a late run into the far post to get on the end of a Wayne Rooneycross following a terrific counter attack.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer refuses to rule out a move for Raul Jimenez Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer refused to rule out a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers star Raul Jimenez after the two clubs went head-to-head in the FA Cup on Saturday. Shortly after the Red Devils missed out on the signing of Erling Haaland to Borussia Dortmund, the Mexico international became the next big name to be linked with a move to Old Trafford as Solskjaer continues his search for players to bolster his attacking ranks....
United were enduring a turbulent campaign under Jose Mourinho, who was sacked in December. The Red Devils have subsequently won eight consecutive games in all competitions since Solskjaer arrived on an interim basis. Burnley are United’s next opponents and Clarets boss Dyche is wary of facing a rejuvenated outfit on Tuesday, having been impressed by Solskjaer’s impact. “From the outside looking in, it seems like he has just tried to loosen a little bit and put more freedom on it,” Dyche told a news conference ahead of the trip to Old Trafford....
