Despite the major time-skip, one fan-favorite character from the original Baldur’s Gate games has already been confirmed to be making a return; Minsc the Ranger, madman, hamster-owner, evil-smiter, and all-round loose cannon, appeared in dramatic fashion clawing his way out of a live mimic in the recent Game Awards trailer for Baldur’s Gate 3. Minsc and his hamster Boo are one of the most memorable partnerships in RPG history, with a rich history covering multiple games, novels, and comics....

The years following the events in Throne of Bhaal have not been kind to Minsc, who spent a great deal of time petrified in stone, losing much of the strength he accumulated over the course of the Bhaalspawn Saga. When players seemingly come across Minsc in Baldur’s Gate 3, he breaks out of a mimic chest to exact vengeance on the Cult of the Absolute who imprisoned him there. Ever since the rumors of his return started to take shape, fans wondered if Jim Cummings would reprise his role as Minsc....

Alby Zalmi, who featured in the ECS T10 Stockholm a couple of weeks ago, couldn’t come up with the goods in the knockout stage. However, the onus falls upon the junior side as they enter the tournament as the early favourites. They would ideally back themselves to make quick work of Spanga United CC, although it isn’t as straightforward as it seems to be. Spanga United have a good roster and should prove to be a stern test for Alby Zalmi U-23, paving the way for yet another exciting encounter....

Mourinho: Manchester United the EPL’s unluckiest team Azpilicueta came to prominence as a fullback, but has been deployed in a fresh position alongside David Luiz and Gary Cahill in a 3-4-3 formation as Chelsea have returned to form. And Conte has welcomed the opportunity to heap pariase on his unsung hero as Chelsea prepare for a trip to the Riverside Stadium to face Middlesbrough in the Premier League. “Azpi is a fantastic player,” Conte told a news conference at Cobham Training Centre....

Oh boy, does he have something coming — a baby boy. Bowyer’s wife is due to give birth in late September to the couple's first child. And while some Sprint Cup drivers might be overly concerned about having a baby during the Chase for the Sprint Cup, it appeared the biggest adjustment for Bowyer will come off the racetrack.

Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks made their grand return to AEW at the Full Gear pay-per-view, where they unsuccessfully challenged PAC and The Lucha Brothers for the Trios Titles. Since then, the six men have been at each other’s throats with the intention of proving that they are the superior team. The current champions started the series off strong, but let a 3-1 lead slip at the end of 2022, leading to the upcoming Escalara de la Muerte match on the January 11th edition of Dynamite....

The report notes that the creative team already has plans in place for Lesnar.

Backstage word on RETRIBUTION On last night’s episode of WWE RAW, RETRIBUTION stated that they would destroy WWE and rebuild it in the image of RETRIBUTION....

Monday night’s episode doesn’t have a specific theme and comes just after Disney Night on the series, which saw Tiger King star Carole Baskin sent home....

Johnny Manziel (Getty Images) For the record, Manziel won’t play in Sunday’s season finale against the Steelers because of a concussion. So any progress he made this season can be judged now, and has been by the Plain Dealer’s Terry Pluto. It’s a decidedly mixed bag.

Why the WWE talents prefer working in front of the UK crowds: “It’s been a hectic schedule but I always love coming back home. I’ve been at shows in Nottingham, Leeds, Manchester and now we are in London and it’s been a great experience so far. I’ve had a mix of cheers and boos, sometimes they go crazy for me or they hate me, but it’s great to come back home as these are the loudest fans anywhere in the world and it makes it all the more special being a home crowd....

New Delhi, May 20 (IANS): The Badminton World Federation (BWF) is reviewing the scoring system of the sport and there is a possibility that the format might change in the near future. The BWF will have a discussion about alternate options at its annual Member’s Forum here Friday followed by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) Saturday.

Get odds on Bayern to win the Bundesliga The former Bayern Munich centre-back, who was once a youth at the club, has endured a wretched few years due to injury problems, and last season was only able to turn out 12 times for Schalke. Nevertheless, Stuttgart, who won promotion to the top flight last term by winning the 2. Bundesliga, believe they have acquired a figure of the highest ability....

Sauber’s Felipe Nasr was first to be eliminated, with 2016’s rookie drivers following soon after. Both Renault drivers – Jolyon Palmer – who made his Formula One debut this year – and his teammate Kevin Magnussen, who was with McLaren in 2014 and dropped last year as their reserve driver, both eliminated in Q1. Force India’s Sergio Perez was unable to set a quick pace in qualifying despite his experience and a powerful Mercedes power unit, and he became the surprising name in the bottom 5....

After Kovalchuk signed his original 17-year, $102 million dollar contract, the league shuttled the contract, which forced the two sides to agree to a new deal. Then the NHL fined New Jersey a third-round pick in 2011, a first-rounder in one of the next four drafts and $3 million dollars....

The 27-year-old quarterback was a Carolina Panther on Monday, but by Thursday Night Football, he was leading his new team, the Los Angeles Rams, to a last-minute victory that might kick-start some momentum for the reigning Super Bowl champions. At 3-9, the Rams had the worst 12-game mark for a team that won the league championship the previous year, but Mayfield might have helped them turn a corner, and celebrations in the locker room after the game showed that he made an instant impact on his new teammates....
