Booker grabbed a rebound with 1:59 left in the third period and fired a 3-point shot seven seconds later that did not connect. That was the Suns’ last chance as they went on to lose badly, and it pretty much was Booker’s final meaningful activity in the game, save for how much significance one invests in his walking toward the bench 70 seconds after that last shot attempt and remaining there as the final accounting was transacted on Bucks 120, Suns 100....

The oft-maligned captain tilted his head back, raised his outstretched arms, and exhaled. Years of pent-up angst and frustration came pouring out as the Capitals mobbed Kuznetsov and celebrated thee 2-1 overtime victory in Monday’s Game 6 that punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in Ovechkin’s career. He had been 0-3 in head-to-head postseason meetings with Sidney Crosby since the superstars took over the league in the early 2000s....

Vettel’s Costly FP2 Error The road to Lewis’ Singapore victory was laid on the previous night when he put a stunning lap to upset the Ferrari. As Vettel said, Ferrari had in it to do a better lap (than that), but they couldn’t. One of the reasons could be, they had limited running under the lights on Friday in FP2 following Vettel’s contact with the wall on the exit of turn 21, which compromised his quali simulations under the conditions reminiscent to Saturday night....

But if we go by the performance of Red Bull in FP2, or rather Mercedes, which could slot ahead of Red Bull, Ferrari must be worried. In FP1 in the afternoon, Daniel Ricciardo’s impressive street circuit skills were on display, as he set a searing pace, with a 1:39.711 lap time on hypersoft, the softest compound Pirelli brought this week. He was ahead of his teammate, Max Verstappen by two tenths ahead, and 0....

Mercedes are looking to win a sixth consecutive constructors’ championship, which has only been done once before in the sport. They would share the record with the dominant Ferrari team of Michael Schumacher from 1999-2004 if they can get over the line at Suzuka, while they will be the first outfit to win six consecutive double crowns if Hamilton goes on to win the drivers’ title. To claim constructors’ glory this weekend, they must score 14 points more than Ferrari, given only 176 points will be left up for grabs after this weekend, with the lead presently sitting at 162....

On paper, it appears to be a routine victory for the Red Devils. However, United’s barren run of form gives the Blades just that little glimmer of hope to defy the odds and dominate the headlines with a shock result against the 11-time FA Cup holders. With Sheffield United 47 places below their opponents in the Football League table, can they play their part in ratcheting up the pressure on manager Louis van Gaal on Saturday evening?...

Fans of the original Fable trilogy likely remember Jack of Blades as the first Fable game’s main antagonist. Jack of Blades was a mysterious extradimensional being determined to wreak havoc in Albion and reclaim the power that he held before his defeat at the hands of William Black. The Fable reboot’s relationship with Albion, Jack of Blades, and other Fable lore isn’t clear, but if it’s meant to be a reboot of the first game, then fans could very well find themselves battling Jack of Blades once again....

The change to an open world isn’t entirely surprising, given how popular open worlds are in the game industry nowadays. Nevertheless, it could have a major impact on Fable’s final form. On the one hand, an open world gives Playground room to stretch its legs in the RPG space and capitalize on some of its established game development skills. On the other hand, in order to compete with other open world RPGs, Fable will have to meet some high standards....

The company in question is none other than Facebook, who is acquiring Beat Games and bringing it under the Oculus Studios umbrella. This company will, however, remain independent, and seemingly won’t have to remain entirely exclusive to the Oculus brand. RELATED: Half-Life: Alyx Recasts Major Characters Mike Verdu, content director for Oculus, claimed that Beat Games’ new titles would release across all major VR platforms and wouldn’t have to remain only on Oculus systems, which opens a lot of leeway to what Beat Games can do next....
