Activision had that fixed amidst controversy, but today we have another related rumor pointing towards a potential Black Ops 2 release date. We can blame the French for this one too as the rumored release date first appeared on retailer Fnac’s website, and was screengrabbed by Gamepur before being taken down. Check out the image below which points towards a possible November 12, 2012 release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2....
While conducting research for his 2018 book Astounding: John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, and the Golden Age of Science Fiction, science fiction author and journalist Alec Nevala-Lee came across a reference to a previously ignored treasure trove, the existence of which was buried in Campbell’s letters. “Sorry… but the Harvard Library got all the old manuscripts I had about eight years ago!” Campbell wrote to the administrator of manuscripts at Syracuse University, who had reached out to the renowned sci-fi editor of Astounding Science Fiction in March of 1966 to ask if Campbell would be interested in donating his papers to the university....
Arsenal wants to bolster its defense by signing Atletico Madrid defender Jose Gimenez, according to The Sun. The outlet also reports that the Uruguay center back, 21, is wanted by Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho. The young star is reportedly interested in a move to the Gunners and would challenge Shkodran Mustafi and Laurent Koscielny at the heart of the defense. Gimenez has 20 months left on his Atletico deal, with a release clause of 54 million pounds ($68M)....
Pep Guardiola has landed the Spain international once before in his managerial career, taking him to Barcelona from Arsenal in 2011. With Fabregas now out of favor at Stamford Bridge, and being heavily linked with the likes of AC Milan, it could be that a reunion is on the cards at the Etihad Stadium in January.
The rumor: Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe, writing mainly about the Red Sox’s courtship of Pablo Sandoval, touched on the coming remaking of the Boston staff, and was not entirely specific. “The Red Sox are in need of a No. 1 starter, and (Jon) Lester would fit that,” Cafardo wrote. “As would free agents Max Scherzer and James Shields, and trade candidates Cole Hamels, Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija, and HIsashi Iwakuma....
The defender has caught the eye of the European giants this season, with stellar performances in the domestic league. The pacey full back has registered an impressive 5 goals and 1 assist this season from the 23 games he has started so far, and is equally adept at the back as he is attacking. Recent reports suggested that David Moyes and Manchester United are preparing a substantial £20 million bid for the Republic of Ireland international to beat competition from fellow rivals....
Arsenal are reportedly monitoring the 26-year-old’s availability but will be unwilling to match the Spanish club’s valuation of the player. Despite many suggesting that his impact would be diminished upon Gareth Bale’s arrival, Di Maria has been Los Blancos’ premier creative spark this season, leading the team with regards to chances created (87) and assists (15) in La Liga. Arsenal showed they are no longer averse to spending big on one player when they landed Mesut Ozil with a club-record bid of £42 million last summer....
During an interview, when asked about his future, Tello was quoted as saying,”You wait and see how the season goes and if by the end I do not play what I want, I will raise out. Taking that step will be quite difficult but I think we appreciate the role of each. As the years pass you want the role change and have more minutes.” Tello has long been touted as a “starlet” and yet had been able to make 9 appearances in this season so far with just 2 starts in them....
Although the current Spurs manager is doing an impressive job at White Hart Lane, club chairman, Daniel Levy, has his heart set on a big managerial summer appointment. Reports suggest, Netherlands national coach Van Gaal was the front runner for the hot seat initially, however, the 62-year old refused the job due to prior commitments.

Gervinho only left Arsenal last summer after failing to impress in the Premier League, but has gone on to enjoy a fine season in Serie A as Roma finished as runners-up to Juventus. United have been linked with a host of players over the course of the summer as they plot a summer rebuild in the region of £150 million under new manager Louis Van Gaal, who has already ruled out Toni Kroos joining United and they are believed to be contemplating taking advantage of Gervinho’s current disputes with Roma....
Sam Allardyce is set to return to English football by replacing Alan Pardew at Crystal Palace, according to widespread reports in the English media. The former England coach, who was sacked after being filmed offering to help undercover journalists get around third-party ownership rules, is the odds-on favourite for the job with most bookmakers. According to Sky Sports, Allardyce’s representatives will meet with Palace chairman Steve Parish in the next 24 hours....
According to a new report, it seems the game was much further along than many might’ve thought, with a new leak from VGC claiming that Deep Down was in a “near-complete state” when Capcom decided to close down production. This obviously will come as even more of a disappointment to those who liked the idea of the title, especially as it was one of the more well-received ideas to come from the company in a while....
Though the Star Wars license is now expanding to multiple publishers and developers, EA has said that it will continue to make Star Wars games. And while many assumed that meant Jedi: Fallen Order 2 and mobile game money-makers like Galaxy of Heroes, it isn’t impossible that another shooter could come from EA. After all, both of EA’s two Battlefront titles were commercially successful, despite the first one’s criticism for lacking content and the second’s lootbox controversy....
The original MGS3 was released in 2004, and dramatically switched up the signature stealth gameplay the Metal Gear franchise had been known for until that point. MGS3 moves players out of the highly fortified, futuristic military camps of the previous games, and into the jungles of the USSR during the Cold War; players were no longer dodging camera sight lines or disarming infra-red laser barriers, they were manually changing Naked Snake’s clothing to increase his “camouflage index,” and hunting animals to restore his health and stamina....

According to a recent tweet by known leaker kopite7kimi, there’s a possibility that Nvidia may launch the RTX 4090 first. In response to 3DCenter on Twitter, the industry leaker has said that there’s been confirmation that the 4090 will release, followed by the 4080, and then the 4070.

The leak, which has an unclear origin, features what appears to be a trio of three low-resolution Silent Hill 2 reboot screenshots. The screenshots all feature a third-person view of protagonist James Sunderland. In the first, he’s standing in a room looking toward a messy desk and window. In the second, he’s in a dark hallway lined with windows that provide a golden ambiance. The third screenshot shows a familiar Silent Hill 2 foe, as a nurse walks out from around a corner....
