While one would expect Bethesda to pull out its big guns for the annual QuakeCon festivities, the publisher has just revealed the official schedule for this year’s Quake-themed gaming convention, and it seems to be rather subdued. Namely, some of its most important titles are outright missing, with less prominent events getting featured instead. RELATED: Xbox Roundhouse Studios Working on Unannounced Project, Assisting With Redfall Development Bethesda’s plans for 2022 were nothing short of incredible at the beginning of the year, even if only due to the fact that Starfield was supposed to come out....

After downloading the Xbox One X update for Quantum Break, players will need to ensure that they have at least 102.5GB available in hard drive space. What’s even more staggering is that for players who opt to download the optional TV show segments of the game, another 75.6GB of space is needed, bringing the grand total to a whopping 178.1GB. Compare that number to the relatively tame 44GB requirement when the title first launched back in 2016....

The message of thanks was posted on the royal family’s official Twitter account today alongside video footage of working royals touring hospital wards and greeting staff. Elizabeth said: “On the occasion of World Health Day, I want to thank all those in the health care profession for your selfless commitment and diligence as you undertake vitally important roles to protect and improve the health and well-being of people across the Commonwealth, and across the world....

With the likes of Zoom and Facetime driving many working from home to distraction, the monarch left her children and grandchildren to fumble with faulty audio feeds while she opted for tradition. A video montage released by the royal family today shows no less than eight British royals clubbing together to give hardworking frontline nurses a boost. Only Elizabeth opted against the computer, and took the telephone instead. The Buckingham Palace film, therefore, shows only a sound wave during an audio recording of the 94-year-old speaking to Professor Kathleen McCourt, president of the Commonwealth Nurses and Midwives Federation....

On Monday, however, President Bush beat back the rumors by naming Scott Evertz, a 38-year-old AIDS policy activist from Wisconsin, as the new director of the agency. Evertz is the Wisconsin president of the Log Cabin Republicans, a national gay Republican fund-raising and lobbying group. He is said to be the first openly gay man ever appointed in a Republican administration. Evertz’s nod coincides with a number of new initiatives intended to demonstrate Bush’s commitment to HIV/AIDS issues....

NEWSWEEK: Did you get nervous in big-game situations? Wayne Gretzky: No. I never did. It’s amazing now, because as a player, of course I’d be excited, but I never got nervous. But now as an owner [of the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes], I sit up there, and I sweat every game, every minute. I’m truly nervous now. Because you really don’t have a lot of control over what happens on the ice....

NEWSWEEK: Have you changed your mind about Putin? BEREZOVSKY: Putin before the elections and now are two different things. But I would still, today, vote for Putin if the other candidates were the same as then. So why are you in opposition? We now have a good chance to create a constructive opposition. My only question is whether there are enough strong and courageous people to go into opposition publicly....

After surviving a domestic violence incident at the hands of her husband, Arnold Berdon, in November, Ostovich is dedicating the fight to anyone who has experienced domestic violence in any form. “When I fight, I’m going to think about what I went through and what other people around the world have went through — similar situations or different," Ostovich told Sporting News during the UFC Brooklyn media day in the financial ballroom of the New York Marriott Downtown on Thursday....

LONDON (Reuters) - Poland’s ninth seed Agnieszka Radwanska recovered from a slow start to beat injury-troubled Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 3-6 6-4 6-1 on Saturday and reach the last 16. Radwanska, beaten finalist in 2012, will face Russian eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova in the fourth round on Monday – a player she has beaten just four times in 17 meetings. The 28-year-old Bacsinszky, playing on Centre Court for the first time, mixed up the pace of her shots well to take the first set, but had to call a medical time-out at the end of the second set and received heavy strapping on her thigh....

The No.1 seed was hampered after pulling up lame for a ball early in the contest and had to receive medical care while on the court before losing in straight sets to cap his worst grand slam result in seven years. What is Rafael Nadal’s injury? The Spaniard has confirmed via Twitter that he suffered a grade two muscle tear which will likely keep him out of action for up to two months....

Tennis is not the only thing that Nadal is good at though; he has many other talents, the most notable of which is golf. The 34-year-old has taken part in several amateur golf competitions in the past, and last month he even participated in the Balearic Golf Championships in Mallorca. However, Rafael Nadal has no ambitions of forging a full-time career on the golf circuit. In a recent interview with ATP, the Spaniard revealed that while he loved playing golf, he was nowhere close to being at the same level as regular professionals....

The background Nadal has been one of the most consistent tennis players of this decade. He is the king of the French Open, having won the title eight times in the last 10 years. Besides, he has established his dominance on the ATP tour by winning at least one title every year in the last 16 years. Nadal is the reigning French Open and US Open champion, which shows that his growing age has not affected his play on the court....
