I’m on day 8 of work,” the Fox61 meteorologist wrote. “Missed my cousin’s wedding. Now I’m getting venomous messages insulting my intelligence and my appearance.

On Wednesday, the Twins upped the stakes, releasing a “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” trailer that is both corny and awesome. Your browser does not support iframes. The video’s main purpose, other than to be totally awesome, was to announce “Star Wars Night” at Target Field on May 4 (May the Fourth, May the force … get it?). Star Wars is never not cool.

Being an adaptation of an established video game franchise that’s been around for over 25 years, there’s already plenty of lore out there surrounding the character and world that Mackie will embody. Even though the narrative the Twisted Metal show is going to explore has been described as being unlike anything seen in the franchise before, there’s still a few important things fans should be aware of regarding the enigmatic John Doe....

Whether you understand the appeal or not, game streams are an innovative and popular form of entertainment, and their rise can be largely credited to two companies: YouTube and Twitch. Twitch in particular has had a huge impact on the streaming community; while YouTube is a general entertainment channel, Twitch focuses on games specifically, with special rules to make sure that outside interests don’t take over the site. Now, Twitch has become such a huge part of so many people’s lives that the company is holding a special convention targeting broadcasters and viewers....

In a report on the Washington Post website, former Twitch employees, who wished to remain anonymous to the source, have stated that the reason many top-rated users are leaving the platform has to do with the company paying less to streamers than it has done in the past, even for the same amount of work being done. For this reason, people like Dr Lupo are being enticed into better contracts, which is why they are leaving Twitch to join YouTube....

Loot boxes have long been a major point of contention in the gaming community. The idea of spending real money for a chance to obtain the item players want has often been compared to gambling – and perhaps rightly so. Needless to say, Asmongold fully shares this view, and no matter which MMO he has played over the course of his Twitch career, the popular streamer always decried the practice....

A large source of controversy within Twitch as a platform usually stems from the suspensions and bans that popular Twitch streamers often receive.

From lying dormant all these years to suddenly exploding all over social media, the indie gem has been one of the surprise hits of this year. From the likes of prominent streamers such as Ninja and Pokimane to casual gamers, everyone seems to have hopped onto the Among Us bandwagon, which is being praised for its wholesome gameplay and fun multiplayer vibes. However, during a recent Among Us stream, a small Twitch streamer by the name of YaBoiSX had a rather unfortunate and forgettable experience when one of the players in his lobby made a racist remark:...

According to Amouranth, Twitch did not shorten or rescind her ban. 3 days was always the expected duration of the ban, which is in-line with past accidental nudity infractions punished by Twitch. The fact that the nudity was brief and that it came across as unintentional likely limited the ban potential. However, Amouranth’s Twitch account is likely to be held to a higher standard going forward. RELATED: Alinity Says She’s Not Getting Banned for Cat Incident...

Trump signed the order Thursday amid a deepening rift with Silicon Valley over his allegations of anti-conservative bias. The president was angered when Twitter appended fact-checking labels to two tweets he posted which alleged that mail-in voting in California would lead to electoral fraud. Flanked by Attorney General William Barr in the Oval Office, Trump said Thursday he wanted “to defend free speech from one of the greatest dangers it has faced in American history....

At just 20 years of age, Hardy made his way into WWE as an enhancement talent. It’s been 24 years since then and somehow, Matt Hardy is still relevant when there’s a discussion related to the sports. And why shouldn’t there be? Hardy has retained his prominence through multiple changes in his persona over the years. Not only did those alterations help him to gain popularity, but it also provided him with multiple successful championship runs as well....

Juve started brightly with Manuel Locatelli going close in the 7th minute with a piledriver from 30 yards out that flew just past goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal. Despite the Old Lady perhaps being the better side in the opening 15 minutes, it was PSG who took the lead in the 13th. Kylian Mbappe added to his double from the reverse fixture with a phenomenal solo effort. The Frenchman shrugged off Federico Gatti with a splendid nutmeg and skipped past Locatelli, who was left floored before firing past Juve goalkeeper Wojtech Szczęsny....

On January 8, Pokemon fan and 3D Programmer at Gameloft Montreal Constantin Lietard started a Twitch Plays Pokemon-inspired game of Pokemon Red over on Twitter. However, rather than being played via a livestream, Lietard set up the game so that it would be played in his own Twitter avatar, refreshing every 15 seconds to reflect the most popular button inputs commented by Twitter users on a pinned tweet, and it seems that Twitter has been on a roll lately....

Twitter, aunque su interés parece confirmado, sería un postor secundario pues es demasiado pequeño....

On the other end of the table, the away side currently find themselves languishing at 18th in the league table. Nicolas Nkoulou opened the scoring for the away side in first 10 minutes. Andrea Pirlo’s side looked to have equalized in the early part of the second half, only for Juan Cuadrado’s effort to be ruled out for offside. The home side finally equalized in the 77th minute through Weston McKennie, who nodded home Juan Cuadrado’s cross....
