Japan Now Has An Official Final Fantasy 7 Day

Plenty of video Game anniversaries are celebrated every year, but very few have their own official day of celebration. Final Fantasy 7 now falls into that category as, on the anniversary of the original Game 's launch, Square Enix officially registered January 31 as a day of celebration for the most iconic Game in the Final Fantasy series. Square Enix shared the big news via its Final Fantasy 7 account, including a photo of the certificate confirming January 31 to be an official day of celebration, and another picture of Yoshinori Kitase holding it. Kitase worked on the original version of the Game and was a producer on its critically acclaimed remake which launched in 2020.

Gimme’ Shelter – Comfort is at the Providence Animal Control Center

They call me Friendly, Affectionate, and Gentle – I’m Comfort and I was found on the street but taken in by a nice person who took me to the vet where I came up feline leukemia positive, and then I was turned over to PAC because of my status…. It’s sad because I would be better off in a home versus a shelter BUT clearly I am doing OK! I am sweet and snugly and feline leukemia isn’t the big scare or the big sleep like it once was. Yes I may not live the longest life, like into my teens but, I will live longer than most street cats if you want to think of it that way! Check out the link below for more information, I need you more than you know…plus, I don’t know my status, only you do 🙂 https://www.petfinder.com/cats/cat-health/feline-leukemia-virus/ About the Providence Animal Control Division The Providence Animal Control Division protects the Health and safety of our residents and their Pet s with progressive leadershi...

Kelly Clarkson Sing A Taylor Swift Breakup Song About A Toxic Relationship

Image
While American Idol alum Kelly Clarkson has given us singularly amazing hits — “A Moment Like This” and “Since U Been Gone” are prime examples — she is also the queen of covers. On The Kelly Clarkson Show, she’s covered the best artists from Whitney Houston to Adele. And now, she’s covering  Taylor Swift . During the show’s Jan. 23 episode, the three-time Grammy winner chose one of Swift’s songs to perform in her Kellyoke series: “Better Man (Taylor’s Version).” As expected, Clarkson wowed audiences with her country-rock take on the track from Swift’s 2021 Red (Taylor’s Version), one of her re-recorded albums. The track is one of Swift’s songs “From the Vault,” meaning it was penned and recorded for album release but eventually put on the back burner. And since it didn’t make her 2012 album Red as intended, she gave “Better Man” to the Alabama quartet Little Big Town. The group released it as The Breaker’s lead single in 2017, and it earned Swift a Grammy songwriting nom fo...

Suns' sale to Mat Ishbia to be finalized before trade deadline; new owner involved in strategy, per report

The sale of the Phoenix Suns to Mat Ishbia is expected to be ratified by the NBA board of governors in early February, and, since he'll officially take control of the team before the Feb. 9 trade deadline , he will be involved in team-building strategy as the deadline approaches, according to ESPN's Baxter Holmes and Adrian Wojnarowski.  Robert Sarver, the suspended, soon-to-be former owner of the Suns, technically had to approve any acquisition of a player making more than the league's average salary , which is $10.8 million, as outlined in a letter sent from the NBA to the franchise, ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported in early January.  From Holmes and Wojnarowski: Ishbia becoming the team's official owner by the Feb. 9 trade deadline will clear the way for Ishbia to oversee the team's deals with the front office. Ishbia is eager to start his involvement with basketball operations, and ...

Fortnite's Shockwave Hammer Is Now Making Players Levitate

Despite splitting the Fortnite community and Epic Game s needing to fix a number of issues with it, the Shockwave Hammer remains a part of the Game , for the time being at least. Another glitch that appears to be affecting a few players might well be the final straw for the new weapon, though. A bug that leaves the user in a permanent state of levitation. The ability to levitate in Fortnite actually sounds kinda good. In reality, the glitch is a problem and not one you can expect players to be exploiting anytime soon. Remarkable-Ask2149 posted evidence of the glitch affecting them on Reddit. After trying to bounce with the weapon, the player permanently assumes a stance that leaves them holding up the hammer and hovering a few inches off the ground.

Net positives: While everybody was watching Kevin Durant last summer, Brooklyn pulled off four heists

Despite all the stuff -- the 1-5 start, the coaching change, 11 games without Kyrie Irving, 11 games without Ben Simmons, four straight losses without Kevin Durant -- the Brooklyn Nets are 29-17, just one game back of the second-place Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference standings. On Jan. 9, when they announced Durant had sprained his MCL, they had the second-best record in the NBA and were within a game of the first-place Boston Celtics thanks to an 18-wins-in-20-games rampage featuring a predictably sizzling offense (fourth in the league before the injury, 119 points per 100 possessions in those 20 games) and a less predictably stingy defense (110.3 per 100 in that stretch, now seventh in the league). At full strength, or even close to it, Brooklyn is a championship contender. The Nets are not in this position simply because Durant is in the middle of the most efficient season of his career (and perhap...

343 Industries Update Fails To Reassure Many Halo Infinite Fans

Yesterday, 343 Industries released a statement, dispelling recent rumours that it would be moved away from the majority of the Halo series' ongoing development. In a short message, the studio said that "Halo and Master Chief are here to stay", and that 343 will "continue to develop Halo now and in the future". While intended to reassure the playerbase, this appears to have done the exact opposite for some. In response to the update, some fans are either unconvinced that everything is going smoothly at 343, or are frustrated that Halo isn't being moved to another developer. It suggests that 343 will have an uphill battle in winning back the trust of many players, especially in the wake of recent layoffs within the company.

Water can be found in the moon rocks that the Chang’e 5 expedition collected

Image
China’s Chang’e 5 mission landed on the moon in 2020 and sent back samples of dust and rocks, which have been found to contain water – but not very much of it Space 14 June 2022 Image taken at Beijing Aerospace Control Center showing the Chang’e 5 spacecraft landing on the moon Xinhua / Alamy Stock Photo Researchers have found water in the samples of moon dust and rocks brought back from China’s Chang’e 5 mission, but not as much as they expected. Chang’e 5 landed on the moon on 1 December 2020 and took samples of lunar soil and rocks . Two days later, an ascent stage lifted off the moon, bringing the samples back to Earth about two weeks later. Jianjun Liu and Bin Liu at the Chinese Academy of Science s and their colleagues have now analysed those samples and found signs of water bound up in their mineral structure. The lander itself saw hints of this water, but analysing the samples in a laboratory on Earth allowed the researchers to take a more granular approach. T...

video game makers come in from the cold as crackdown eases

HONG KONG: China's end to a sweeping crackdown on its video Game s market is expected to breathe life back into the battered industry this year, but remaining restrictions on some content and economic headwinds will limit the extent of the recovery. Beijing’s tough curbs in 2021 laid waste to the once-booming industry, shaving over half of the market value of sector leaders like Tencent Holdings and NetEase Inc and shrinking the world’s biggest gaming market for the first time. Shares of Tencent, the world's largest gaming company, and NetEase rose this week after China's video games regulator granted the first gaming licences in 2023, the latest sign that the clampdown is ending. Analysts expect China to approve between 800 and 900 games this year, potentially more, topping the 512 titles released in 2022 and 755 in 2022. Between August 2021 and March 2022, no titles were approved. "We believe the approvals indicate a more benign reg...

George Santos denies taking $3,000 intended for disabled veteran's dying dog

Image
Navy veteran Richard Osthoff has added to the string of accusations against George Santos, saying Santos opened a GoFundMe for his dog but didn't share the money Rep. George Santos this week denied a Navy veteran 's claim that he allegedly ran a fundraiser for the veteran 's ill dog in 2016 -- and then never shared the thousands raised. Santos, R-N.Y., has faced mounting criticism and calls to resign, including from some in his party, over a string of lies and exaggerations about his background. He has admitted to "embellishing" some details, but has said he will not step down, suggesting he'll defer to his constituents to either reelect him or vote him out in the next election. Navy veteran Richard Osthoff added to the string of accusations against Santos when he told Patch, in a story published Tuesday night, that Santos strung him along rather than provide the money for his dog's care that was raised via an online fundraiser. Osthoff is disabled and...
