On July 21st, Twitter user Neeko found that a single multiplayer match of Halo Infinite ate 300MB of data. After just a few matches, this could result in multiple downloaded gigabytes of data. This was later confirmed by other players, and even acknowledged by 343I itself the following day through an official Twitter post notifying players that it would look into the issue. This does beg the question of how long this issue had been going on for, and how long it would have continued if members of the community did not point out or notice it....

Then Hamilton talked about winning the 2018 season title, his place in history and the tough fight with Vettel to earn a fifth career championship that tied him with Argentina’s Juan Manuel Fangio for second-most in F1 history. “This is a precious moment for me,” Hamilton said after securing the title Sunday at the Mexican Grand Prix. Vettel cradled his head in his hands and wiped his brow, bracing for hard questions about how a title chase he once led had once again slipped away....

The 32-year-old Briton, seeking his fourth world title, made a perfect start from his record 69th pole position to lead his Mercedes team-mate Finn Valtteri Bottas home for his sixth win this year, his third at Monza and the 59th of his career. Hamilton now leads four-time champion Sebastian Vettel by three points after the German finished third, 36 seconds adrift, in his Ferrari in front of a big home crowd on the weekend of the Italian team’s 70th anniversary celebrations....

This incident was reported to stewards. The incident was investigated but deemed by Stewards that the move was within the laws of the sport. Later Stewards gave their statement: The statement from stewards made Hamilton tipped over his anger, and he absolutely blasted the FIA for having double standards. Hamilton still claims it was a double step move from Vettel. He said: Though, Hamilton is still happy as the duo did not crash in the incident....

Being thrown into the traditional 64-person Conquest mode, littered with vehicles as has been the case for several iterations, the visual enhancements are made immediately apparent. As I spawned into a plane to begin the match, the camera panned and soared over the vast landscape of Battlefield 1’s multiplayer map, with allies and enemies alike doing battle beneath me. The entire area was rendered in stunning detail, true to the expectation that accompanies DICE and its prestigious Frostbite Engine....

Harambee Stars will step to the pitch at 4.00pm against Amavubi in a tough Group ‘A’ second match that will precede the opener between Tanzania and Libya from 2pm. Kenya will tackle Libya on Tuesday in the second match then square it up against Zanzibar in the third fixture on Saturday, December 9. The final group match for Stanley Okumbi and his boys will come against Tanzania on Monday, December 11....

Harbhajan recalled the 2001 South Africa Test where five Indians – Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly, Shiv Sunder Das and Deep Dasgupta, apart from him, were banned for at least a Test by match referee Mike Denness for various offences. He also referred to the 2008 Sydney Test against Australia, infamously described as Monkey gate, where he was banned for three Tests for an alleged racial slur against Andrew Symonds....

Harbhajan had led the team last year too with RoI winning the Irani Cup for the eighth consecutive time. The tie is a good platform where domestic players and those who have represented India can make an impression on the national selectors. Karnataka won the Ranji Trophy Sunday beating Maharashtra in Hyderabad. The RoI squad: Harbhajan Singh (captain), Jiwanjyot Singh, Gautam Gambhir, Baba Aparajith, Kedar Jadhav, Ankit Bawne, Dinesh Kartik, Amit Mishra, Pankaj Singh, Ashoke Dinda, Varun Aaron, Parvez Rasool, Anureet Singh, Natraj Behera, Mandeep Singh....

The half-hour performances are intended not merely to stir the curiosity of the school kids who dominate the 500-seat auditorium, but also to advance the emerging field of evolutionary robotics. Noel Sharkey, a computer-science professor at Sheffield University, is using the contest as a Darwinian breeding ground, where the weak robots perish and the strong survive to perpetuate their kind. The idea is to build dumb robots with the capability to “evolve,” leave them alone and see how smart they become....

The Houston Rockets star posted 32 points in his side’s 139-109 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, adding 12 rebounds and eight assists for good measure. A haul of 20,022 places Harden 45th on the all-time list, although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’ 38,387 remains a distant prospect. “It’s a great accomplishment obviously,” Harden said. “I have a bigger picture and bigger goals, but it’s pretty cool.” The 30-year-old revealed that he took the game ball and gave it to his mother for safe keeping....

You can get an idea how much a fast bowling all-rounder is valued in cricket by the fact that someone like Stuart Binny has been in and out of the Indian team in the past. He was part of the Indian squad in 2015 world cup and part of the 2014 Indian squad which toured England. I mean he is a decent player but not of that level. So when Hardik Pandya announced himself to the world during the IPL with his swashbuckling ability to strike the ball and with the ability to bowl with speed around 135-140 consistently he was fast-tracked to the international level....

There are many factors that are going to impact 2011 in a big way, but the one that will probably have the widest reach are social media games. Zynga, the company that developed the huge hit FarmVille, has learned a lot from this past year’s experiences and plans to use all of that knowledge in order to create more engaging games. The addictive nature of these types of titles has just about lost its effect, so choosing to reinvigorate the millions of Facebook members out there should be quite the challenge....

World No.10 Harika, seeded 36th in this tournament, couldn’t keep up with the fourth-seeded Adams and threw in the towel when the game started slipping out of her fingers here late on Monday night. She has played three games so far, extracting a win and a draw in her first two rounds. Harika accepted the loss gracefully, pointing out that Adams is a top flight player. ‘He is a big gun....

Our Chess Correspondent (Eds: (Updating with second game result) ) Khanty Mansiysk (Russia), Nov 10 (PTI) Grandmaster D Harika settled for a second straight draw with former champion Alexandra Kosteniuk of Russia to set up a tie-breaker against the same opponent in the third round of the World Women’s Chess Championship here on Saturday. After the first game against the same opponent ended in a draw, Harika was with black pieces in the second and she employed a French defence and Kosteniuk did not have many answers....

Tbilisi (Georgia), Sep 6 (PTI) Grandmaster and former world junior champion Pentala Harikrishna survived anxious moments before defeating Yuri Vidal Gonzales of Cuba 3.5-2.5 after two sets of tie-break games to enter the second round of the World Chess Cup, here. B Adhiban was the other Indian to move to the round of 64 as he crashed through the defences of Nguyen Ngoc Troung Son of Vietnam also in the rapid games....

The new trailer for Harley Quinn begins with Harley (Kaley Cuoco) celebrating her two-week anniversary with her friend turned lover Poison Ivy (Lake Bell) by kidnapping Amanda Waller. Ivy isn’t exactly thrilled by this gesture, but the trailer quickly moves along as Harley celebrates what she has dubbed the “eat, bang, kill tour.” She refers to Ivy as her “BFF, GFF” as they wreak havoc across the globe.

Harry Maguire’s arrival adds a great sense of stability to the Manchester United backline and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be utterly pleased with English defender’s signing. His aerial abilities are incredible as last season saw Harry Maguire win 118 aerial battles, whereas the best any Manchester United defender could get was 116 by Chris Smalling. The Red Devils endured a torrid season last term as they finished in 6th place and failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League....

There have been three event weeks in Halo Infinite since the game’s launch, two of which were Fracture: Tenrai, and one was Winter Contingency. With every Halo Infinite event, players are given an event pass that as they complete challenges specific to it, they will rank up and unlock rewards. Furthermore, events serve as a way for developers to test out upcoming game modes before adding them permanently into the game’s rotation, with Fracture: Tenrai introducing Fiesta Slayer for example....

In a developer update via Halo Waypoint, the developer 343 Industries gave some info on what to expect from the return of Fracture: Tenrai. Among the changes, it was revealed that players can now complete 10 tiers of the Event Pass during the second week of the event (January 4-11). During the first week of Fracture: Tenrai, players could only unlock 7 tiers. According to the developers, this change to the number of available Event Pass tiers was made to allow dedicated players to progress through the unlockables faster....
