Fight Night Champion is too good to stay dead

Hình ảnh
[ad_1] My shorts are stained red with blood, and most of it isn’t mine. I’m playing Fight Night Champion nearly a decade after its release. It can be a shockingly violent game, even given the subject matter. I deconstruct my opponent with body shots and side steps, throwing off his balance every time he tries to rush inside. But then one of my power punches leaves me open. The punch he sends into my chest drops my stamina-poor fighter to the mat. I extended myself too far and won nothing for my efforts, which isn’t a bad metaphor for the series itself. EA Canada/Electronic Arts Fight Night, as a franchise, should be dead. It was built on a messy web of individually negotiated contracts that often meant popular boxers were dropped from each game’s roster for various reasons. Then EA signed a deal with UFC one year after Fight Night Champion ’s release, transitioned the entire EA Canada team to develop UFC games, and extinguished the last unl...

Jonas Brothers Perform 'Only Human' on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers': Watch

[ad_1] The Jonas Brothers hooked into a funky reggae vibe on Thursday night (July 18) during a performance of the Happiness Begins  track "Only Human" on Late Night with Seth Meyers . Dressed in mismatched suits and backed by a four-piece horn section, Joe Jonas took the first verse, bouncing along to the song's insistent groove as the studio audience shouted their approval. Nick joined him on the chorus, with the Bros harmonizing on the slinky come-on, "We gon' dance in  my living room, slave to the way you move/ Hurts when I'm leaving you/ Just dance in the living room, love with an attitude/ Drunk to an '80s groove." Then it was Nick's turn to take over the lead vocals, slipping into his signature falsetto as things simmered down for a spell before the island groove kicked back in. The track appears on Begins , the trio's first full-length album since 2009's Lines, Vines and Trying Times . Watch the Jonas Brothers on Late Night below....

[ad_1] Signage is displayed outside a JC Penney Co. store in Chicago, Illinois. Christopher Dilts | Bloomberg | Getty Images J.C. Penney on Friday afternoon said it hasn't hired any advisors to prepare for an "in-court restructuring or bankruptcy." The statement followed a report Thursday evening that the embattled department store chain had hired advisors to explore debt restructuring options, potentially buying it more time for a turnaround. "As a public company, we routinely hire external advisors to evaluate opportunities for the Company," Penney said in a statement. "By working with some of the best firms in the industry, we are taking positive and proactive measures, as we have done in the past, to improve our capital structure and the long-term health of our balance sheet.
