NBA athlete Steven Adams has warned that fans should expect a "league-wide" drop in performance for athletes across all sports in November due to GTA 6's release. Speaking with media, the Houston Rockets center warned that athletes' performance will drop in November — not just for the NBA, but also the NFL. He noted that the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 will likely distract players and coaches, but he expects things to improve in December once they've spent enough time with the game. Steven Adams has jokes at media day: "I will say: you guys should anticipate November. The performance of the league, league-wide.

Look at the NFL, look at all the leagues, and watch them plummet, mate. Just for the month of November, performance is gonna go down; it sho...

A Pokémon scalper has reportedly been arrested and trespassed after punching a man in a viral confrontation that resulted in a four-year-old child getting hurt in the chaos. A Target store in Lisbon, Connecticut is at the center of a viral incident that occurred on August 28, 2026. Footage from the ordeal spread across social media in late September, showing two scalpers with a cart full of Pokémon merchandise making their way to the shop’s self-checkout stations. The person who recorded the footage confronted the duo along with his girlfriend, who submitted the footage to PokéStreetz, an account dedicated to exposing bad behavior within the Pokémon TCG community. In the footage, the four parties argued about the amount of merchandise the scalpers were making off with; the scalpers themselves proudly said, “Damn straight” that they were checking out with all that merch, rather than abiding by the two-per-person limit enacted by Target, and warned the couple not to touch their shoppin...

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has begun taking down videos and posts about leaked GTA 5 and GTA 6 content. Last week, a ton of files for Grand Theft Auto 5 leaked online. These were reportedly obtained during the 2022 hack, which also resulted in the first-ever footage of GTA 6 leaking online. These files have been rumored for some time, but are only just now surfacing publicly. They include cut dialogue from GTA 5, which also seems to hint at different outcomes for the story, such as a darker ending for Franklin. However, the two biggest things are details of a scrapped Liberty City expansion for GTA 5 and an extremely early version of GTA 6's map. Given that this material was illegally obtained in a hack and not officially released by Rockstar or datamined through the game's files, the studio's parent company, Take-Two Interactive, is working to scrub the assets from the internet. Various YouTube videos and posts with visuals of the leaked ...

Speaking with IGN Japan at Tokyo Game Show 2026, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi said the game will contain an option to let players automatically level up their characters, allowing them to experience the story without needing to grind — but the broader gaming community is at odds with this idea. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation , like every other game in the series, is very narrative-focused. Luckily, there’ll be a feature for those who want to breeze through tough battles and get to its major story beats, as told by Hamaguchi at TGS 2026. During our conversation , he told us that he’d received feedback from players who claimed they had a hard time getting through the previous games’ main story due to being underleveled, saying they didn’t want to grind through the wealth of side quests to work their way up to a higher level. "Naturally, because we've prepared so much side content, [a player's] level might not quite reach the requirement for the main story....

The latest Witcher novel, Crossroads of Ravens, finally arrived in English last September, giving fans their first proper look at Geralt of Rivia's earliest days as a monster hunter. I personally loved it, which probably won't come as much of a surprise given I've been eager to badger Andrzej Sapkowski with questions ever since I first picked up The Last Wish many moons ago. Well, I finally got my wish. I recently had the opportunity to chat with Sapkowski, the creator and author of The Witcher books , over email, alongside David French, the English translator of Crossroads of Ravens. See at Amazon UK - £9.49 (was £10.99) See at Amazon US - $15 (was $20) And, perhaps unsurprisingly, Sapkowski is every bit as sharp and disarmingly honest as you'd expect, with a wonderfully dry wit and a talent for delivering remarkably incisive answers. There's also a scholarly flair to his responses, defined by a penchant for weaving classical Latin phrasing in wherever possible—...

Why is everyone talking about Mighty Mike Plays? From the (alleged) $118,000 bill to AI-generated T-shirt designs, we're here to explain how a Minecraft YouTube channel has captured the internet's attention. It's a tale as old as time : a child is playing a video game, they grab their parent's credit card, and all of a sudden, someone has a thousand-dollar hole in their bank account. The story of Mighty Mike has so much in common with the lesson countless others have learned in the past – or does it? Over the space of just a week, a nine-year-old YouTuber and his dad have ensnared an audience of millions, but not everyone is buying the events that started with a 14-minute Minecraft upload. dude i know this isnt what i normally post but i stumbled upon this channel of this 9 year old kid who’s apparently been running 118k usd worth of youtube ads with his dad’s BUSINESS CREDIT CARD 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/paihyQDoiR — alex 🐝 (@oscgoat) September 15, 2026 Mighty Mike...

I spent so much of my time stalking through Silent Hill: Townfall tensed in a cautious crouchwalk, that by the end of the story I was just as worried about the damage to my character’s fraying mental state as I was about the wear and tear on his knees. Taking an about-face from the action-heavy adventure in last year’s Silent Hill f, this latest survival horror spin-off instead embraces the sustained tension of slow-paced stealth, handing you a motion-sensing gadget and tasking you with sneaking past a series of sound-sensitive beasts that have descended on its abandoned seaside village in mid-nineties Scotland. What unfolds is a gripping investigation through an increasingly unsettling world witnessed from a fresh, first-person perspective. Silent Hill: Townfall is riddled with tremendously satisfying puzzles to solve, and peppered with the most disturbing scenes to come out of mid-nineties Scotland since that baby crawled along the ceiling in the original Trainspotting. Silent Hill: ...
