You read that right: The Pokémon Company is teaming up with the International Space Station to bring a special stream from onboard the station. Trainers will be able to see the Earth and stars as the day shifts to January 1, 2021, in Japan. It’s also being teased that Pokémon will appear during the stream. What that means exactly is anyone’s guess, but it’s likely that the stream will have overlays of certain Pokémon that will appear using augmented reality (AR)....

RELATED: 10 Pokemon With The Highest Attack Now, with all of these types, there are numerous combinations of one type being strong against another, one type being weak against another, one type being resistant to another, and one type being vulnerable to another. However, many make no sense. (Probably for balancing purposes.) 10 Normal And Fighting Normal is strong against nothing, weak against Rock, Ghost, and Steel, resistant to Ghost, and vulnerable to Fighting....

RELATED: Pokemon Sword & Shield: How To Evolve Charjabug The most dominant factors of damage calculation are the ones most trainers are familiar with: the base power of a move, the Attack or Special Attack stat of the attacker, as well as the Defense or Special Defense of the defender. But much more governs how damaging a launched move will be when it lands, so it may be best to think of damage in games like Pokemon Sword & Shield more like water as if it is passing through many filters that can decrease or increase its pressure....

Wait, that’s not quite right. The drought has ended! Seattle has a playoff baseball team again! Yep, that’s better. For the first time since 2001, the Mariners will play in the postseason. The clinching moment was fittingly dramatic, coming when pinch-hitter Cal Raleigh smashed a ninth-inning pitch over the right-field wall at T-Mobile Park, giving the M’s a walk-off win over the A’s on Saturday night and securing an AL wild-card spot....

Here are the key scoring settings for FanDuel single-game contests: The point total for the “MVP” is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn’t cost any additional money like the “Captain” in DraftKings Showdown contests. FanDuel’s default scoring is half-point PPR and four-point passing TDs, and there are no bonuses for 100/300-yard games like on DraftKings.

Win the championship on the field! There, feel better now? Because it’s time someone pulled back the veneer on this “playoff” of ours. “Shoot, there’s not much difference between (the CFP and BCS),” says South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier. “You’re still relying on someone else’s opinion.” An opinion you can’t see or hear or comprehend, thank you. And you were upset because Jeff Sagarin’s ELO Chess theory may as well have been the Pythagorean theorem....

The pricing will remain competitive: 160GB PS3: $299. 99 (MSRP) (shipping today) The 320GB PS3: $399. 99 (MSRP) (in stores September 19th) The 320GB PS3 launch is planed to coincide with the launch of the PlayStation Move, and will include the PS3 Sports Champion Bundle, banking on the success the Nintendo Wii has had bundling Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort with their systems. This pricing structure seems to be, as usual, competitively matched with the Xbox 360, and the Xbox Kinect....

Tim Ash, a developer working on Lost Wing from BoxFrog Games, highlighted the importance of SSDs in a console and how it can not only help with performance, but immersion too. For Lost Wing, in particular, this is due to the fact that the game has a lot of respawning, and, therefore, load times. “Thankfully we’re very prompt on load times after the initial load”, elaborated Ash, “but the advent of having high-performance SSDs on PS5 is a bigger deal for general performance and immersion than I think a lot of people realize....

We Were Here Forever has been available to PC gamers since May of this year. It retains the franchise’s signature online co-op focused puzzle solving, with players having to communicate with each other to escape a foreboding Antarctic castle. It’s one of the rare games, like Hazelight’s It Takes Two, that must be played in co-op - there is no single-player options available. It should also be pointed out that We Were Here Forever does not have any local co-op options either, so anyone interested in playing through it must do so online....

After gathering the results of the fan-voted poll, the PlayStation community chose Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, which accounted for over 11% of the total votes. Of course, given the cultural impact the game brought to the video game community, it is not surprising that The Last of Us took the top spot. Ever since its release back in 2013, the game was critically praised by both fans and critics due to its immersive gameplay, top-notch story, and well-fleshed out characters....

In total, PlayStation Direct had its PS5 restock for all of 34 minutes before the wares evaporated. Potential buyers saw longer queuing lines than that. Nearly everyone that queued up to get their console got hit with an hour-long wait time or longer, even if they got in line near instantaneously or the moment that PlayStation Direct announced it had consoles to sell. All in all, it was as if PlayStation Direct never had any PS5’s to sell in the first place....

The new job listing from PlayStation Europe indicates that a European version of PlayStation Direct is currently in the works. For those that don’t know, PlayStation Direct is an online storefront that allows players to purchase hardware directly from Sony. The site has been available for gamers in the US for a little over a year now, however, those that have attempted to purchase their PS5 this way have come away with mixed opinions....

The reasons for the outage are unknown, but many are suspecting that the internet group Anonymous is responsible. The group threatened attacks on the servers and Sony itself after the debacle involving Sony’s war with George “Geohot” Hotz. Geohot was, and still is, associated with taking a PlayStation 3 console, and – after some serious tweaking – unlocking some of the potential of the machine, such as backwards compatibility emulation (the ability to play PlayStation 2 games, something Sony has squashed since removing the feature from the first PS3 released) and home-brew functionality....

Speaking to TASS, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan stated that “there is actually news to come” in regards to PlayStation’s answer to Game Pass. Ryan also pointed out that Sony does have a subscription service through PlayStation Now, which allows users to live-stream PS3 and PS4 games. However, PlayStation Now doesn’t come close to matching the scope of Game Pass, as it’s comprised mainly of older titles and lacking the many other perks that a Game Pass subscription comes with....

There will be two specific pre-order dates during the Spring “first wave” pre-order sales events: March 22 for PlayStation VR Launch Bundle with a $499. 99 list price March 29 for PlayStation VR core with a $399. 99 list price Here are the list of retailers with PS VR still available: PlayStation VR Pre-Order Retailers If we spot more retailers, we’ll add to them above as we near the second pre-order event for the PlayStation VR core....

Insidious (INS) was the first South Asian team to get knocked out of the match. As always, their strategy of widespread play resulted in their own loss. Bhisma and Joker of INS were the last two players trying their hands with Asterion Myth, but, unfortunately they got killed by Asterion Myth players. Throughout the Erangel map, team MEGA and ORANGE ESPORTS were spraying bullets like nobody’s business. However, ORANGE ESPORTS took the chicken dinner from the last nail biting situation....

Pneuma: Breath of Life launched on Xbox One and Steam (with Oculus Rift support) in February 2015. A few months later, the first-person perspective puzzler is now available for PS4 owners. Fair warning: Players sitting down with Pneuma should brace themselves for the longest monologue they’ve heard in some time. The game puts players in control of Pneuma, who seems to be the last being left in the universe. As players walk around the marble castle (and its surroundings) that Pneuma wakes up in, they must solve a series of visual puzzles to navigate through each room or area in an attempt to learn more about the mysteriously empty universe....

Spurs last ended the league campaign above Arsenal in 1995, with Pochettino’s men missing a huge opportunity to end that run last season as they were thrashed 5-1 at relegated Newcastle United on the final day. Milner sets Premier League record Tottenham, in second, are now seven points clear of their sixth-placed rivals after beating Southampton 2-1 on Sunday, but the manager brushed off talk of Arsenal. “[The rivalry with Arsenal] creates speculation for the media, but the aim for us is always to win the next game,” Pochettino told Sky Sports....

The Premier League club will be without several key players for the Group B fixture at Wembley as they look to open their account in this season’s competition at the second attempt. Dele Alli was already certain to miss the midweek clash with the champions of LaLiga, but fellow midfielders Mousa Dembele and Christian Eriksen are also now unavailable. Spurs confirmed on Tuesday defensive duo Serge Aurier and Jan Vertonghen have been ruled out too, though Pochettino insists the club are not “victims” and must instead focus on those who are available for duty....
