Over the past few days, “the number of deaths has been dropping for the first time,” Cuomo said, opening his latest televised press conference with the state’s most recent COVID-19 statistics. He acknowledged, however, that further observation would be required to determine whether the recent downturn was just a “blip” or indicative of a forthcoming pattern. New York has been considered the epicenter of the nation’s outbreak for weeks, with more than 122,031 coronavirus cases and more than 4,159 deaths recorded statewide as of Sunday morning, up from 3,565 on Saturday....

This isn’t an official release of the board game. It’s actually a custom board game created by an artist who goes by the name of tommyfilth on DeviantArt. As you can see below, he put a lot of work into making this board look authentic and it will definitely make fans of the Mass Effect series wish this was something they could pick it up in stores. The Community Chest and Chance cards were turned into Alliance Missions and Cerberus Tasks....

Not long after the live-action trailer was released, a Destiny 2 fan by the name of Music Sharer realized that the footage fits perfectly with one of the most iconic songs in the world. That song is My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion, the heart-wrenching and Oscar winning tune from the Titanic movie soundtrack. Admittedly, Destiny 2 probably doesn’t feature any giant ships crashing into icebergs. However, Dion’s soaring vocals and the way they layer over scenes of Guardians taking down enemies makes the game seem incredibly dramatic, if not totally haunting....

Nick Luciano’s Dad isn’t a newcomer to the world of fighting game victory poses. Also known as Smash Dad, he previously appeared in a video mimicking every Super Smash Bros. taunt. He must have enjoyed it, because his son has managed to talk him into performing the Street Fighter II Turbo victory poses, and they’re a hoot to watch. From the giggling Chun-Li to the levitating Dhalsim, Smash Dad recreates them all with vigor and a great sense of humor....

Luckily, observing that history has never been easier than it is now. While there are countless YouTube videos and articles that do an excellent job summarizing the way video games have changed since the early 70s, they can be time consuming. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to get a quick glimpse into the evolution of video games without needing to set aside a big portion of the day?...

“That gives the university the opportunity to say, ‘You aren’t workers, we do not have to sit down and bargain with you,’” Alec Stubbs, a student protestor and Ph.D. candidate from Loyola University Chicago told Newsweek. On Thursday, graduate students from more than nine schools will protest in Boston, Chicago and Washington, D.C. to send a message to the NLRB that they won’t stand for the rule change that they say could derail their nationwide efforts to improve pay and benefits....

The dedicated BTS fans, known as the Army, made the phrase ‘Scammys’ trend online, as they lamented the group’s snubs. The band, who is bade up of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, was nominated in the category for their track “Dynamite” but lost out to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande who won for their collaboration on “Rain on Me.” BTS shared a video of them reacting to the announcement that they lost on Twitter and added “that moment,” with two crying laughing emojis....

Among all of the rumors and leaks, of course fans are most curious about the release date of the game. Like every iteration before it, Grand Theft Auto 6 has seen a bevy of leaks regarding the game, but many of the release date rumors agree on a specific timeframe. Practically every rumor about the game places the release date in a broad time frame: 2021-2023. Of course, that would make a lot of sense given Rockstar Games’ track record of recent releases....

Gamers can look forward to Grand Theft Auto 6, which is confirmed to be in development. The game comes at a time when Rockstar is reportedly undergoing significant changes to its internal culture. It has yet to be seen how the new Rockstar that has emerged will handle GTA 6, and whether the highly anticipated game will be able to supply gamers with the fun missions they have come to expect from the series....

One of the recent modern examples of players banding together is the construction of the Mile High Club in Grand Theft Auto 5. Since the game’s launch in 2013, Rockstar had yet to update the construction of the large skyscraper to the point when several modders decided to finish the building construction itself. Another highly requested feature, the ability to explore maps from previous games, was an ambitious feature that modders were able to accomplish ahead of the developers....

Those fans who wish to do so can go ahead and bookmark the fresh maps in-game in Grand Theft Auto Online. Each of the areas are respectively titled Trading Places IV, V, and VI, and according to Rockstar Games, players can check them out starting today.

As players will know, the heists in the base game of Grand Theft Auto V are accompanied by planning sections where you and your compatriots organize your robbery with the help of noticeboards filled with pictures of your target and the equipment you’ll be using. The images leaked on Twitter over the weekend suggest that a similar feature will be available in the upcoming free DLC. Of course, GTA games seem to be particularly fallow ground for hoaxes — who can forget the sasquatch sightings in San Andreas - but these seem to be the real deal....

That’s good, because Quintana and maternal grandmother Raquel Rodriguez are strangers in a strange land. From the decrepit dictatorship of Fidel Castro’s Cuba, they flew to a country of drawn-out legal battles, democratic checks and balances, media frenzy and political opportunism. They came on an intensely personal mission–to retrieve their grandson, who endured the drowning deaths of his mother, his stepfather and nine other would-be asylum seekers in the Straits of Florida over the Thanksgiving holiday....

Tammy Taylor Moffett, 53, was arrested by police after her daughter, Malikah Diane Bennett, 31, was charged three days earlier with killing her 4-year-old child, Majelic Young. Police arrested Bennett on May 21 after investigators discovered the young girl’s remains in her backyard while responding to a missing persons report. According to the report, police received tips that the 4-year-old had not been seen in several months and that foul play may have been involved....

“I hardly ever touched the puck,” the Minnesota Wild forward recalled. Those days are long gone. Granlund scored his team-high 10th goal of the season in the third period to lift the Wild over the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Sunday. Devan Dubnyk made 29 saves, and the Wild got their fifth win in six games and 10th in their past 12. They completed a franchise-record seven-game road trip at 5-2....

Tennessee GOP state representative Andrew Holt penned a three-page House Joint Resolution which offered gushing praise of the president and listed off dozens of accomplishments worthy of public congratulation. HJR 885, which the Dresden, Tennessee lawmaker filed on February 13, will be considered by the House of Representatives this Thursday as it seeks to “honor” Trump’s February 5 Senate acquittal of both articles of impeachment. Holt has been an ardently vocal supporter of Trump’s southern border wall and routinely champions the president’s talking points on his social media pages....

“You’re supposed to keep us safe, you’re the secretary of Homeland Security and you can’t tell me if we have enough respirators,” Kennedy said when Wolf failed to provide a specific number of respirators the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has to combat the virus. The discussion between the two occurred during a subcommittee hearing of the 2021 DHS budget. It began when Kennedy asked Wolf about the specific number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U....
