We scoured the web for impressions of Google Stadia to get an idea of how latency impacted the demos people played at GDC. For the most part, it seems as though the reception to Google Stadia is positive, and that Stadia latency won’t hold the service back as some have feared. Lucas Matney of TechCrunch initially had issues with their Google Stadia demo of Doom, as the game’s resolution dropped dramatically and the frame rate was like a “fast-paced PowerPoint presentation....

Judge Reggie Walton, the senior U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia, was first appointed as an associate judge on the D.C. Superior Court in the 1980s by President Ronald Reagan. He was later appointed to the D.C. District Court by President George W. Bush in 2001. The longtime federal judge oversaw the trial of capitol rioter Dustin Thompson, 38, of Ohio. Thompson was found guilty of all charges by a grand jury on Thursday after he was captured by surveillance cameras during the riot carrying a coat rack and a bottle of bourbon that he stole from the Senate Parliamentarian’s Office....

Martin Hyde, a candidate in the Republican Primary for Florida’s 16th Congressional District, was pulled over on Valentine’s Day for speeding, texting while driving and for refusal to provide his registration. However, a video released this week of the incident showed Hyde continually threatening the officer’s job, telling Officer Julie Beskin that she was “making career decisions,” asking her if she knew who he was and that he was a congressional candidate....

New rules in Utah, Iowa and Kansas have either limited access to the legislative floors or required them to stay in the chambers’ galleries, the Associated Press reported. The rules have received backlash from journalists, who said they are making it easier for the lawmakers to avoid their questions, potentially decreasing the amount of accountability for their actions. The Utah rule implemented this week allows journalists covering a legislative committee to enter the area behind the dais only if they get permission from a committee chairperson....

In a clip shared to TikTok by an account called Hdbrosriley we can see just how much a dog, whose name is Riley, is excited by his owner’s arrival. The footage is a video montage which shows the man walking up the garden path only for Riley to run and leap straight into his arms. This happens on over four occasions, as the man outstretched his arms the doting animal flies though the air to be cradled by the dog owner....

According to a recent report from VGC, the GoldenEye trademark has been given a second extension, granted to Danjaq, LLC, which holds elements of the James Bond franchise.

Berger, last season’s rookie of the year on the PGA Tour, picked up nine birdies to surge clear with an eight-under-par 62 at the TPC River Highlands. The 23-year-old posted a 15-under 195 total, three ahead of Scotland’s Russell Knox (64), South African Tyrone Van Aswegen (65) and American Russell Henley (65).

CHASKA, Minnesota (Reuters) - Europe do not want the 2018 Ryder Cup crowd in Paris to take revenge for the minority of Hazeltine National fans who misbehaved during the Americans’ 17-11 victory this week, said Rory McIlroy on Sunday. The U.S. galleries meted out plenty of heckling but the world number three and other members of the European camp were at pains to point out that the overwhelming majority of the spectators treated them well at the biennial team event....

The American shot 10 birdies, with the pick of the bunch coming on the last when he played his approach shot to within a foot of the hole and tapped home the resulting putt, while he also holed a 25-foot putt on the 16th.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Chris Wood has no regrets over ditching Lee Westwood as his partner for next week’s World Cup of Golf in Australia, with the Englishman banking on his team spirit with Andy Sullivan to carry the duo to glory. Westwood and Danny Willett, second in the European Tour money-list, were lined up to represent England at the team event in Melbourne until the latter pulled out with a back complaint, meaning Wood stepped in as the next highest-ranked Englishman....

“Golf in America and Europe, I think, has stagnated in the last 10 years. The growth of the game is in Asia,” Montgomerie said. “We have an Asian winner of a Major, Y.E. Yang, who beat Tiger Woods in the PGA championship is a proof of that and we feel there is more to come,” added Montgomerie, who conducted a short clinic for budding talents on the sidelines of the opening day of the Hero Cycles Golf Cup, here at the Delhi Golf Club (DGC)....

The deal calls for Golovkin to fight twice a year on DAZN for the next three years, giving the longtime middleweight champion from Kazakhstan plenty of opportunities to regain titles....

Przemek Karnowski finished with 18 points and nine rebounds for Gonzaga. “Our bigs have been delivering all year,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few told CBS reporters following the game. “We just got back establishing where we are at our best. How good was Przemek (Karnowski) there at the start of the half?” After trailing 35-28 at halftime, UCLA managed to cut Gonzaga’s lead to 35-34 with just over 18 minutes left in the second half....

When your greatest fame comes from playing a joke – never mind that you played it well – it’s hard to get people to take you seriously. The very idea that someone named Keanu was trying to play Shakespeare in ““Much Ado About Nothing’’ made some critics giggle. When it was announced that Bernardo Bertolucci had cast him in ““Little Buddha’’ – as the Buddha himself – you could hear the wisecracks warming up....

Noth will don gold chains, vintage shirts and sideburns for his role as undercover FBI agent Mike Tozzi in the darkly funny drama “Bad Apple,” which airs Feb. 16 on TNT. The movie will run within days of the last two episodes of “Sex and the City,” in which he is also expected to appear (though three different endings have been shot for the series finale). Beyond the timing, there’s little similarity between Noth’s two characters, which he says was part of the appeal of “Bad Apple....
