While one of the most enjoyed individual sports in the world, tennis anime don’t usually get enormously popular; however, of the ones that have, Baby Steps (2014) is arguably the best one of the lot. Here’s why this anime is particularly underrated, and serves as great representation for tennis within the sports anime niche. RELATED: Like Team Spirit: What Makes Sports Anime So Exciting? First Serve – The Plot For those unfamiliar with the series, Baby Steps follows the journey of Maruo Eiichiro (known henceforth as “Ei-chan”), a top-performing high schooler known for his extraordinary organisational skills, discipline, and diligence, who decides to take up a sport because he feels that he needs the exercise....

RELATED: The Best Selling Square Enix Franchises Of All-Time, Ranked Is there any way to save Babylon’s Fall? There are a few key things that would make the game more enjoyable for players. It goes beyond graphical and bug tweaks, although those things should still be given attention. There is no reason textures should look like they came from the PS2. These are just a few things fans would appreciate in some future patches....

I’m not quite sure where I sit between those two views. I certainly think he has shown incredible loyalty insofar as him seeing out his contract with Arsenal but I also think that his loyalty would be tainted by joining a rival club. Thinking on it, tainted probably fairly surmises how I think his time at Arsenal and his reputation amongst the Arsenal faithful will be remembered. Over the years Arsenal have seen many Gunners pulling on the shirt of a Premier League rival and more often than not those players are never thought of badly....

Following an Alpha test a few months back, many fans have begun to call the game an unofficial Left 4 Dead 3. During the alpha, players were able to see a number of familiar elements including special zombie types like the Hocker and Retch as well as experience a new form of The Director, an AI behind the scenes that dynamically alters the experience of each match based on how players are doing....

Now-the AFTER Shot. “They’re robbing the market!” The news seared along The Block. A hundred manic looters surged past Vermont Square Shopping Center. Some swung axes, others crowbars; some had lock cutters. They smashed the windows at the ABC Supermarket. They snapped the lock at Sunny Swap Meet. They piled into a pickup and tried to bash through the steel shutter at the Best Discount housewares store. Then they plunged into Tong’s Tropical Fish store and ran out with boa constrictors, fish–even the turtles....

Baseball fans aren’t the only ones yearning to put the pandemic behind them. So, apparently, is Congress. New spending on testing, vaccines and therapeutics has been harder to find than Putin’s conscience. Senator Mitt Romney led the charge to whittle White House requests from $30 billion down to $16 billion before settling this week on $10 billion, to be repurposed from unspent COVID-19 relief funds. “While we have supported historic, bipartisan measures in the United States Senate to provide unprecedented investments in vaccines, therapeutics, and testing,” he wrote in a letter to President Joe Biden, “it is not yet clear why additional funding is needed....

This past week on RAW, The Big Show was revealed as their teammate as part of the main event matchup between the six men, but long term, the former WWE Champion isn’t expected to be partnering Joe and Owens. Show did help Joe and Owens by being part of the match and even knocked out Seth Rollins with his KO punch, but it’s currently unknown what this is leading toward....

During the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer stated that IMPACT Wrestling is keen to make Josh Alexander their next top guy in the company. He noted that AEW star Christian Cage won’t be their champion for much longer since Alexander is on the verge of getting the biggest push of his career: Christian Cage has had a fruitful run with the IMPACT World Championship since winning it from Kenny Omega in the inaugural edition of AEW Rampage last month....

Bacterial skin infections can take many different forms from localized boils to whole-body infections like septicemia (in which the infection moves from the skin into the bloodstream). The infection generally starts when the skin is irritated or disrupted, such as by a cut, scrape, puncture, or rash. The causes and treatment of a bacterial skin infection can vary by location—such as on the face, genitals, scalp, or hands—and whether the infection occurs in a baby, toddler, adolescent, or adult....

But if the moral destination is always in sight, the journey unfolds in gripping, fresh details. Kilmer’s performance is full of subtle, internal details, and he works well with Sam Shepard as his seasoned FBI partner. As the very cool tribal cop who steers him in the right direction (and gets the funniest lines), Graham Greene practically walks off with the movie, though 73-year-old Chief Ted Thin Elk gives him a run for his money as a crafty medicine man....

Some mega-fans attended the annual balloon inflation at 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue in New York City. They got excited when they saw one giant love heart being inflated, especially because it featured a single eye and downturned smile. The heart looked the same as the featured artwork on the Puerto Rican artist’s fourth studio album, Un Verano Sin Ti [A Summer Without You]. “Wow I got to witness history today when I stood at the right time as they inflated Benito’s balloon for Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade ❤️🇵🇷🏝️ Que locura,” wrote TikToker, LiloWhereStitch alongside a video of the balloon being inflated....

The battle left the moon completely obliterated as Saitama was finally able to fight someone seriously. During this fight, we saw Saitama’s strength gradually increase, even causing one of his sneezes to pass through the moon and expose Jupiter’s core. This strength displayed by Saitama caused Garou to fear Saitama and resort to throwing him towards the Sun. Unfortunately for him, Saitama survived. If a battle that was fought on a planetary level wasn’t the prophesied catastrophe, Saitama’s next battle could be something really big....

Part of the problem is a matter of resources, and another part is due to policies the law requires. Those are appropriately matters for Congress to address. Yet many noteworthy obstacles to progress are entirely within the authority of VA officials to remove right now. Identifying and acting on them should be Job One at the VA. Case in point: certain surgical and pain-management treatments have been subject to scheduling delays that can be debilitating or even life-threatening to veterans....

Last summer, acknowledging that new games with live action are more frightening than older games’ cartoons, Sega of America began rating its product. (Mortal Kombat, in which aggressors rip off heads and brandish the bloody trophies, got an MA-13: not for young children.) While the predatory Night Trap (which features underclad teenage girls) may be fine for post-pubescents, a Sega spokesperson said, “it’s very scary for 6-year-olds who don’t like the idea of getting the blood sucked out of them....

Now on sale, just six months after the launch of the company’s previous flagship, the 7T Pro has a few new features – but many have already been seen in the OnePlus 7T, which was announced in late-September. This is therefore OnePlus’ second phone to feature the new top-end processor and a larger display, the latter primed for super-smooth frames with a 90Hz refresh rate, as in the previous iteration of the Pro....

The company has just unveiled the Nord 2T, a new mid-ranger for Europe and India – alongside a European launch of the Nord CE 2 Lite and budget Nord Buds. Our new phones editor Henry has been busy testing out the 2T, and has his first impressions ready to go. Meanwhile Toddy has been on a jaunt to Milan to go hands-on with the Huawei Mate Xs 2 foldable as it too gets a global launch, along with the Watch GT 3 Pro and a slew of other wearables....

The Internet Revolution I read your Special Report about e-life and how the Internet is changing the way we live–but will life really change for everyone (“The Dawn of E-Life,” Oct. 11)? The world’s poor people do not have the knowledge and money to use the new Internet technology. This unfortunate situation will widen the gap between our social classes, or may even create a huge wall that the offline people can’t possibly cross....

Even though these options are available to the majority of PC gamers, it seems there are still some conventions that hold true among them. A recent reveal from Steam, one of the leading PC gaming platforms, shows that just 10% of Steam users are relying upon game controllers to play. RELATED: Steam Added 31 Million New Users Last Year In the Steam Year of Review for 2021, some interesting data regarding controllers was shared....

RELATED: 10 Console vs. PC Memes That Are Too Funny For Words The ’90s saw the prominence of several genres, including action-adventure, RPGs, and platformers.
