Senator Joel Villanueva has passionately urged his colleagues in the Philippine Senate to rally behind Senate Bill 1281, which seeks to banish all forms of online gambling from the Philippines, encompassing the operations of former Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs).
Concerns over criminal allegations:
In a recent and fervent statement, Senator Villanueva emphasized the imperative for the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp (Pagcor) to take resolute action against POGOs. He pointedly referenced compelling evidence linking these operators to heinous crimes such as human trafficking, fraud, and other illicit activities.
Senator Villanueva chastised Pagcor for what he views as its failure to regulate POGOs …
Whether you spend an entire afternoon or mere minutes getting the details right trying to match your likeness or maybe handsome Squidward, creating your character in games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dragon Age is an important step before you even start your adventure. Streamer Breebunn showed during this extremely long stream creating her characters for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which took an astonishing 21 hours.
The streamer created an elf Inquisitor named Mellon, rocking a high ash blonde ponytail, and her elf mage Rook wears a smidge of lipstick for a pop of color. “I needed to get my Inquisitor to look how I wanted her to look,” Breebunn said on stream. “I have my priorities sorted, and they’re insane.”
During today’s Warner Bros. Discovery Q3 earnings call, CEO David Zaslav commented on the company’s gaming and film divisions, and how they’ll be expected to “deliver more consistency” with their releases. It has been a tough year for Warner Bros. Discovery, as several of its high-profile releases–including Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, MultiVersus, and Joker: Folie à Deux–have drastically underperformed.
Zaslav said that the company’s games business is currently “underperforming its potential” and that inconsistency remains an issue in its various divisions (via The Verge). Zaslav added that Warner Bros. Games revenue declined 31% between July and September when compared to the previous year, as Mortal Kombat 1 launched during that window in 2023. MultiVersus in part…

The Colombian, who is currently on loan at Lecce, has been in scintillating form this season, and has been the subject of admiring glances from major European clubs.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp hopes Chelsea win the UEFA Champions League this season.
If the Blues win the competition then Tottenham, who are currently fourth in the Premier League, would miss out on qualification.
A UEFA rule states that a team must be able to defend their title even though an extra place in the competition is not awarded to that side s country.
The Stamford Bridge side claimed a 1-0 victory in the first leg of their semi-final tie with Barcelona but must hold that slender lead at Camp Nou, where the European champions have not lost since 2010.
I ll be rooting for Chelsea, Redknapp said.
I haven t even thought about (missing out if Chelsea win the competition). If Chelsea stay in it they ve got a Champions League final to pr…
The contract currently binding Marco Reus to Borussia Dortmund expires at the end of the season, but the experienced winger says he cannot imagine himself playing for any other club and hopes to get an extension sorted soon.

Fernando Torres on Saturday said that Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez was the inspiration behind his goal-scoring exploits which helped Spain to Euro 2008 glory.
Torres netted 33 times in a blistering first season for Liverpool breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy s record for goals scored by a foreigner in a debut Premier League campaign.
The 24-year-old said that Benitez s relentless quest for improvement since he joined from Atletico Madrid has been a catalyst for his career.
There are days when you think: My God, this guy (Benitez) doesn t let you breathe , Torres told the club s website.
At a club like Liverpool, you can t sit back after scoring 20-odd goals and say: Well, that s it. After you score 20, Benitez is at you during the next training session …
Under-fire Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is convinced he retains the full support of the club and his players amid a difficult run of results.
Madrid head to Sevilla on Saturday having failed to win any of their previous three LaLiga matches, suffering losses to Valencia and Deportivo Alaves either side of a draw with Villarreal.
Los Blancos have never endured a winless run of four league games under Zidane, and the champions are already seven points adrift of pacesetters Real Sociedad – though arguably the greater concern is second-place Atletico Madrid.
Diego Simeone s men are unbeaten this term and, although a point behind La Real, they have two games in hand on them and one on their city rivals.
Tuesday s 2-0 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk increase…
Inter dropped points for just the third time this season as they played out a frustrating goalless draw with Roma in a forgettable Serie A encounter.
The build-up to the game was dominated by a controversial Corriere dello Sport headline in which the words Black Friday were placed in between images of Inter striker Romelu Lukaku and Roma defender Chris Smalling, former Manchester United team-mates, with the publication s strident denial that their front page was racially insensitive merely drawing more criticism.
On the pitch there were few talking points, although Inter will rue Roma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante making fine saves in each half to deny Lukaku and Matias Vecino.
A point means Inter are unbeaten in eight games but champions Juventus can reclaim top sp…
