But what really happened to Indian women tennis? To understand it, one needs to retrospect a bit. In 2006, India’s Fed Cup team did what they had never done before – finish as runners-up – in the Asia-Oceania Group I, thanks to the efforts of Shikha Uberoi and Sania Mirza. Similar results followed in the Doha Asian Games where the team clinched silver. In 2007, despite Sania’s absence, our team finished a creditable 4th in the Fed Cup Group I....

The Division Resurgence has a lot to live up to and a lot to improve, seeing that both The Division and The Division 2 had their many highs as well as some major lows. Of course, the final product is not going to be fully comparable to existing releases simply because the platform is different, and so probably will be the target audience. With The Division Resurgence being free and it being a mobile game, many fans couldn’t help but call this a red flag, something that becomes understandable now more than ever after the controversies surrounding Diablo Immortal, the latest free-to-play mobile game from Blizzard....

Known for his affinity for memes, the Tesla CEO recently took to Twitter to promote his upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live, replete with an iconic Dogecoin reference. In a subtle nod to Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Elon Musk officially crowned himself “The Dogefather,” much to the delight of his 50 million-plus followers on Twitter. Within minutes of his tweet going viral, the price of Dogecoin skyrocketed, rising from $0....

Some of these specials never received English dubs and even more never received physical releases. With them being so hard to find except by the most die-hard fans, it’s no surprise that most have forgotten they even existed at all. Goku’s Traffic Safety Back in the 80s and 90s, several anime characters were recruited to help teach various safety concepts to children. With even Mario having his own safety-related anime, it comes as no surprise that Goku and the gang would be asked to do the same with how popular the series was....

However, one major aspect that has not aged well for Skyrim, and which should probably be set anew for Elder Scrolls 6, is Skyrim’s playable and non-playable character design system, which is often bland and quite inferior to many other role-play and story-driven games, including its Elder Scrolls: Online counterpart. RELATED: Rumor: The Elder Scrolls 6 Setting and Release Year Leaked Skyrim’s overall character design system is very typical archetypal, mostly composed of choosing a race and building a class on the go....

However, on a certain level, that’s a good thing. Knowing so little about the game means that, for now, the possibilities are endless. The Elder Scrolls franchise is an incredibly rich fantasy setting with a lot of storytelling opportunities that Bethesda hasn’t tapped into yet. The possibilities there are multiplied when one considers that Elder Scrolls 6 is certainly a next-gen game at this point, sure to be designed for PS5 and Xbox Series X....

Washington was determined to be patient. Director Louis Freeh wanted a no-holes case after the longest and most trying investigation in the history of the FBI. ideally, the Feds wanted to catch the suspect in the act of mailing a bomb. But last week the investigators were forced to move quickly. From a leak, CBS News had learned about the stakeout and was threatening to break the story. At the justice Department, Attorney General Janet Reno was confident enough to obtain a search warrant....

As seen below in the red band launch trailer for The Evil Within 2, fans can get a better understanding of the protagonist Sebastian Castellanos’ plight while also feasting on some gory visuals, with the main character scrapping and blasting some of the “unspeakable horrors” of the sequel to find his lost daughter, Lily. Plus, speaking of grisly imagery, those who have a weak stomach might want to avoid watching the clip, as it contains some ghastly scenes, such as the one involving flesh being melted off of a young girl’s face, which presumably belongs to Lily....

Pokemon Legends: Arceus’ new Apricorn Poke Ball has introduced yet another variant to the mix. While the core series and side games have established more than 27 kinds of Poke Balls over the years, the Pokemon anime has its own in-depth history fans can acquaint themselves with. Poke Balls have changed substantially in the Pokemon anime, with the series having worked in some interesting ideas that the games never approached....

Political unrest is a theme throughout the show, and is especially prominent in the first few seasons. Earth and Mars are at each other’s throats, and the Belt has no love for the inner planets. There’s a long history here, one that the show itself can really only sketch a vague picture of. But Martians in particular, whenever they’re airing their grievances towards Earth, tend to come back to the same point as a source of animosity: Humanity had a home, a cradle of life....

Despite critics praising Spider-Man 2 as possibly the greatest superhero movie ever made and one of the most satisfying sequels of all time, Raimi still felt the need to go back into the cutting room and re-edit it for a 2007 DVD release. Dubbed Spider-Man 2.1, the extended cut of Spider-Man 2 makes a bunch of unnecessary changes to an already perfect movie. RELATED: Tobey Maguire Was (And Still Is) The Best Spider-Man...

Most of our 50-minute conversation had covered the changing state of male-female relationships. My blind date was 40 years old, from the Experimental Generation. He is “actively pursuing new ways from men and women to interact now that old traditions no longer exist.” That’s a real quote. He really did say that, when I asked him what he liked to do. This was a man who’d read Ms. Magazine and believed every word of it....

KARL ROVE LIKES WHAT HE SEES (Lisa DePaulo, GQ) ROVE: There are Democrats, particularly blue-collar Democrats, who defect to McCain because they see McCain as a patriotic figure and they see Obama as an elitist who’s looking down his nose at ’em. Which he is. That comment where he said, you know, “After 9/11, I didn’t wear a flag lapel pin because true patriotism consists of speaking out on the issues, not wearing a flag lapel pin”?...

WHAT WENT WRONG? (Michelle Cottle, New Republic) We asked (begged, really) a range of Hillarylanders for their up-close and personal lists of “What Went Wrong?” Not everyone wanted to play. Many stubbornly pointed out that their candidate is not yet dead. But, on the condition of total anonymity, a fairly broad enough cross-section of her staff responded–more than a dozen members all told, from high-level advisors to grunt-level assistants, from money men to on-the-ground organizers… “There was not any plan in place from beginning to end on how to win the nomination....

Both cybernetic enhancements and ninja skills exist on a list of traits that can be applied to just about any fictional character to make them considerably cooler. The combined concept has only solidified over the generations to become a ready-made archetype in any given sci-fi work.

Meta knows they’re wrong. Every week for the past year, she and 10 other Washington high-school students have met in a conference room at the Center for Population Options, a nonprofit educational organization. As members of the center’s volunteer Teen Council, they are preparing a pamphlet on STDs to be distributed to high-school students around the country. The need for such information is acute. Experts on adolescent health say that ignorance of how STDs are spread is one of the main reasons 15- to 19-year-olds have a higher risk of getting many of these diseases than any other age group....

When it launched back in 2015, the Xbox One Elite controller was the best controller on the market for Xbox users. Providing all the comforts of the the newly redesigned Xbox One controller plus multiple customization options like back-paddles and interchangable thumb sticks, the first Elite controller set a new standard that all controllers were held to from then on. With the launch of the Elite 2 controller, the question then became how such a strong design could be improved upon....

With the release date approaching fast, Ubisoft has revealed more information about the game regarding the file size on different platforms as well as the day 1 patch size. Apparently, The Division 2 will have a file size of about 90-100 GB on PS4 which is an enormous amount. The only other game surpassing the 100 GB file recently was Red Dead Redemption 2. Keep in mind though the 50 GB will be the day 1 patch and the game’s base size is about 48-50 GB....
