MONTREAL (Reuters) - Max Verstappen believes he has learnt more from his crash in Monaco than from becoming Formula One’s youngest-ever race winner in Barcelona. Two weeks after rewriting the record books on the Circuit de Catalunya on his race debut for Red Bull, the 18-year-old Dutch driver was brought back to earth with a bang in the most watched race of all. Verstappen crashed into the barriers having been forced to start from the back of the grid after also finding Monte Carlo’s streets unforgiving in qualifying....

Of course, Rockstar Games has a reputation of filling its games with all sorts of easter eggs in its video games, and Red Dead Redemption 2 is no exception.

A brief clip shows the coveted Arabian horse getting stuck in an absolutely mind-boggling situation. While details about how the situation occurred are not given, it’s likely that the player dismounted their horse directly in front of a carriage, leading to it being run over. Regardless of how it happened, the player’s horse got inextricably entangled into a passerby’s carriage and taken on an involuntary tour of the town....

The world in which the game’s story takes place is full of little touches and details which help to make it feel as though it is truly alive. Perhaps the most well realized element of this comes in the form of Red Dead Redemption 2’s wildlife and ecosystem, which bear many resemblances to those found in the real world. While some of the larger species may get the bulk of the attention though, that doesn’t mean that the game’s water-dwelling creatures aren’t also true to life....

During a Red Dead Redemption 2 card game, Arthur Morgan can be heard mocking John for his inability to swim. “Why don’t we up the ante here? Loser has to strip and jump in the water. Oh wait, Marston can’t swim.” Marston responds to this jab by stating that he has “no intention” of losing the game. This is a reference to the original Red Dead Redemption, where falling in deep water meant instant death for John Marston....

RPCS3 also provided a brief summary of its progress in the description provided with the video: All of that is to say the improvements made in emulating Red Dead Redemption are entirely due to direct improvements made to the emulator itself. This isn’t a mod where the developers are trying to fix Red Dead Redemption itself, but rather just issues emulating the PlayStation 3 on PC. The hardware is very different and it’s going to take a lot of time to get it right....

Rodriguez (10-3) allowed three hits and walked one. Craig Kimbrel worked the ninth for his 26th save in 28 chances, finishing a six-hitter. The Nationals (42-43) have lost five in a row to fall below .500 this late in the season for the first time since being 60-61 on Aug. 21, 2015. The preseason NL East favorites held a players-only meeting after the game. A throwing error by Adam Eaton on Bradley’s sacrifice fly and a wild pitch by Ryan Madson (2-4) in the seventh inning contributed to Washington’s 17th loss in 22 games....

The 45-year-old Blashill is in his fourth season as coach of the storied franchise, which has won five straight games but was still just 31-38-10 going into Tuesday night’s home game against Pittsburgh. General manager Ken Holland praised Blashill for keeping the Red Wings competitive and “hard to play against every night.” “Jeff has done a tremendous job developing our young talent as we continue to rebuild our organization,” general manager Ken Holland said....

The core that had been the foundation of a roster that went to consecutive Stanley Cup Finals in 2007-08 and 2008-09 (winning one; losing the other in a one-goal Game 7) had been slowly broken up, and the players who did remain were not quite what they were when the Red Wings were one of the NHL’s powerhouse teams. This is not uncommon. Dynasties and great teams always go through cycles and nobody stays on top of the mountain forever....

The British socialite’s evidence to a 2016 libel case brought by Virginia Giuffre was unsealed today but with the names of rich, powerful men including the Duke of York blanked out.

The Redfall player will be able to play alone or have the option for up to three of their friends to join them. Similar to other squad multiplayer games like Left 4 Dead, the player and their teammates will choose from a cast of four characters. The names of the playable characters in Redfall are Devinder Crousley, Layla Ellison, Remi De La Rosa, and Jacob Boyer. Each character was given a brief moment during the trailer at E3 2021, and their individual personalities shined through....

It’s understandable why some fans have been drawing connections between Redfall and Left 4 Dead, though the gameplay showcased so far has not really given off all that much of an L4D vibe. Redfall doesn’t appear to be quite as frantic as Left 4 Dead, and it features an open world as opposed to standalone levels. Redfall gameplay footage has clearly shown that the game is going for something different from what’s presented by Valve’s franchise, but that hasn’t stopped the comparisons from being made....

Reds fans have an extra special connection with their team. A few times this year, that’s been pretty apparent, with the way Cincy fans have been selling out for home run balls all season. Joey Votto’s chili was running hot on Saturday, leading to a first-inning ejection for arguing a check swing call. Young Reds fan Abigail was at her first MLB game in San Diego and was hoping to see Votto play more than just an inning....

He is 0-2 with a 7.00 ERA this season, while also making his bullpen debut. Similar to Harvey, Mesoraco has run into tough times in recent seasons, mainly due to injuries....

The American produced a gritty one-under-par 71 to win by one stroke from the charging Rickie Fowler, while Jordan Spieth’s remarkable 64 saw him finish two shots off Reed’s tally of 15 under. It was Reed’s first win of any kind since August 2016 and the 27-year-old, who attended Augusta State University, revelled in a career-defining moment. “It’s almost impossible to put into words, just to make the par at the last and watch the ball go in the hole and know I’ve won my first major [was incredible],” he said during his interview in Butler’s Cabin....

The referee, Cesar Muniz Fernandez, awarded Real Madrid a penalty which Ronaldo converted after Fernandez thought that Elche player Carlos Sanchez came down too hard on Madrid defender Pepe. “I don’t think he got it right,” said Victoriano Sanchez Arminio. “Maybe he had some family issue that meant he wasn’t in the right frame of mind.” The referees’ chief added: “But there you go, sometimes we get it right and sometimes not, that’s football....
