Before players jump right into the upcoming expansion, they may want to review some of the changes Blizzard made for their hit fantasy franchise to coincide with the story of some previous expansions. And while some retcons in World of Warcrafthave earned the ire of players, some changes prior to Dragonflight may have been for the best. 10 The Draenei Makeover As fans of Warcraft lore might remember, the Draenei have made their first appearance in Warcraft 3 as a race booted by the Orcs from their old home of Argus....

While many details about the new CBA have been reported (especially from The Washington Post’s Tim Bontemps), it is also important to remember that all of the nuance and full ramifications will only be discernible when the full text of the massive document becomes available.

According to The Big Lead’s Jason McIntyre, Bilas is replacing Dick Vitale on ESPN’s primetime college basketball broadcasts. More from McIntyre: “According to multiple people close to the show, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the move has not yet been publicly announced, ESPN recently made the decision to promote Bilas to calling the Saturday night game in addition to extending his contract with the network through 2023. Vitale had been calling the Saturday primetime games with Dan Shulman since 2005, when they debuted....

According to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1973–2014), bilateral cancers occurred in 1.4% of breast cancer patients in 1975 to 2.9% in 2014. Other data sets show the incidence range of 1%–11% of breast cancer patients, depending on how the cases are defined and the time period of surveillance. It is difficult to know how often this type of cancer actually occurs because there isn’t optimal evidence differentiating between women who have had one or two primary cancers....

Hall of Fame journalist Bill Apter pointed out why this stipulation may not amount to much. According to him, Riddle could lose the match and then win the Money in the Bank contract at some point down the line: As for whether or not Riddle has a realistic chance, Sportskeeda’s Senior Editor is not too hopeful. He believes that The Usos will play a big part in the outcome:...

For example, six-time Super Bowl champion Patriots coach Bill Belichick is recognized as the NFL’s highest-paid coach even though nobody outside of New England actually knows how much money he makes. As recently as two years ago, ESPN reported Belichick’s salary was $10 million per year, and Pro Football Talk countered with a report that Belichick was making $12.5 million per year.

During practice Wednesday, a communication breakdown between the New England offense and the coaches resulted in incorrect personnel on the field. An unhappy Bill Belichick reportedly tore into his offense and sent them on a penalty lap, including the assistant coaches.

Murray is in Washington to receive the 2016 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday, meaning he could miss Game 7 in Chicago if Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers get the win Saturday in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series.

In his blog post, the billionaire investor criticized an outdated Wall Street that ‘has not changed much in generations.’ He said: Mark Cuban also critiqued the SEC, stating that it needed to introduce rules that are easily understandable by the masses and be more accessible to all traders. He quoted: Mark Cuban’s take on ‘wallstreetbets’ ‘Wallstreetbets’ will go down in the annals of history for exploiting the very system that Wall Street used to get rich....

He’s no longer on the field hitting offensive players, but he is coaching them. The nine-time Pro Bowler was hired by the Bills to be their assistant defensive backs coach, where he’s helping Aaron Williams and others progress.

With Week 2 of the NFL season comes double the “Monday Night Football” fun as the ESPN family of networks will air two prime-time games, beginning with an AFC showdown between the Bills and Titans. The Bills, who are coming off an impressive Week 1 win over the Rams will be well-rested as they get back on the field for the first time since Sept. 8. The Titans, on the other hand, opened the season with a less-than-impressive Week 1 loss to the Giants on Sept....

Mao craved sex, and he believed it prolonged his life. He practiced droit du seigneur on a grand scale, taking countless awe struct peasant girls into his bed, sometimes several at once. Not that he cared about them. When Dr. Li discovered that Mao was carrying a venereal disease, the chairman refused treatment. “If it’s not hurting me, then it doesn’t matter,” he said. Dr. Li writes: “The young women were proud to be infected....

The different mounts are perfect for traversing through the many diverse locations in Biomutant. They vary from all types of new and bizarre creatures such as Gnoats and Mekafingros. RELATED: Biomutant: How to Get Mercenary Class Many of the mounts can be acquired through the story mode in Biomutant, and others require some finagling through side quests and hidden locations. So for fans looking to ride around the world in style, here are the locations to all of the mounts in Biomutant....

However, the ultimate weapons in Biomutant are the most powerful weapons for each different category in the game and will serve nicely in any player’s arsenal. There are 11 in total scattered across the map. RELATED: Biomutant: All Mount Locations Some are fairly easy to find; others require multiple side quest steps to acquire.

Upgrading the crowbar in Biomutant is quite simple, but players will need to track down a specific NPC called Pebble first. Pebble can be found near an area called Knack Hill, which is just beside the Sknapptrutt Outpost. He lives in a small cave area in a cliff face between the outpost and the Deadzone to the west.

BioShock has been a hugely successful franchise, but while the settings and stories have been acclaimed, combat has been criticized as dull and repetitive across each game in the series. There is one logical step forward that BioShock 4 needs to take if the next game’s combat is going to overcome these common criticisms of the series.

[HTML1] Like Booker DeWitt with, well, whoever he owes money to that’s coercing him to Columbia, BioShock Infinite is all in. After years in development and a smattering of delays, Irrational Games announced this February that the first-person shooter had finally “gone gold.” The game we’re seeing now is the game we’ll be playing in two short weeks. So when Irrational tweeted out a teaser image for its newly arrived trailer – entitled “False Shepard” – a few days ago, it was no surprise to see one of the game’s already-iconic henchman, the Handyman, in true form: towering, irate, and rearing back a disproportionate but probably-wise-not-to-say-that-to-his-face right hand against a set of shoulder straps quite possibly belonging to our pinched protagonist....

The dispute is diverting attention from the real problem: the health-care system is drastically underfunded. Most homeland-security money is going to “emergency responders” who know how to deal with the aftermath of explosions or other disasters, rather than experts who can detect, respond to and quarantine an epidemic that may take days to spread. “The bottom line,” says Tara O’Toole of the Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies at Johns Hopkins, “is that hospitals are not prepared....

Oddly, the secondary reason for closing the official forums is rather blunt. BioWare employees seemingly just don’t care enough to make the time for it anymore: BioWare will also maintain the forums in a read-only state until October 25, so community members can copy or collect their old posts, friends’ information or just reminisce about better times in the forum. That being said, not every BioWare forum will close down; the Star Wars: The Old Republic forums will remain live....

First, BioWare explains why it didn’t initially respond to request for comment on the allegations in the article, which included a claim that the Challenges of the Legionnaires was just to timegate players. Next, BioWare goes on to address the workplace culture that apparently drove at least one former employee to frequently lock themselves in a room to cry over the high stress environment. “The health and well-being of our team members is something we take very seriously,” it said in its statement....
