  Move over, Xbox and PlayStation. A new foe has appeared in the world of online multiplayer gaming! It’s the… uh, Game Boy. As in that unbreakable, gray, 4.19Mhz tank from 1989. While the Game Boy has had a handful of locally multiplayer games since the beginning, using it meant physically connecting your Game Boy to another Game Boy via an accessory called the link cable. If you wanted to play some Nintendo with someone further than a few feet away… well, you’d just have to wait a few decades. In a wildly impressive display of skill, hardware hacker stacksmashing has managed to reverse-engineer the Game Boy’s link cable protocol and effectively trick it into working across the internet. The Game Boy connects through the link cable hooked into a Raspberry Pi to a custom desktop client, which in turn pings an online game server that acts as the bridge between you and your opponent(s). The Game Boy thinks it’s talking to any other ol’ Game Boy, unaware of the fact that it’...

  With little more than three months to go before the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games, a major Japanese medical association is calling for the cancellation of the event due to the current surge of new COVID-19 infections.    The Tokyo Medical Practitioners Association posted an open letter to Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga Monday warning that hospitals in the Japanese capital city “have their hands full and have almost no spare capacity.”     The group that represents about 6,000 primary care doctors and hospitals urged Suga to convince the International Olympic Committee that holding the games would be “difficult” and that it should be called off.    The current surge has prompted authorities to place Tokyo and several other prefectures under a state of emergency, leading to a growing demand among the general public to cancel the Olympics, which are scheduled to begin July 23 after a one-year delay because of the pandemic.  A public op...

  Why Manchester City Can Win The Cup This Season England’s champions have the bit between their teeth in Europe this season. Their attacking brilliance is long-established, but they’ve added greater defensive solidity, with only four goals conceded in their 12 games played so far. If overcoming their quarter-final hoodoo was a boost to their self-belief, the manner of their semi-final triumph against Paris has surely banished any doubts about City’s ability to go all the way. Man City Campaigns so far The most telling point about City’s group-stage campaign was that it ended with the competition’s best defensive record, with just one goal shipped following Rúben Dias’ arrival to join a revitalized John Stones in central defense. After winning Group C, they posted home and away wins against both Gladbach and Dortmund, before sealing their place in the final with two magnificent victories over 2020 finalists Paris. Man City tactics Josep Guardiola has used a false-nine system to gre...

  Thomas Tuchel admits winning the FA Cup wasn't set as a priority by Chelsea when he replaced Frank Lampard in January. A top-four finish in the Premier League and Champions League football for next season was the desire of the club. The German arrived at  Stamford Bridge  with the Blues ninth in the Premier League and in poor form. He oversaw a rapid transformation, one which enabled  Chelsea  to rapidly climb up the top-flight table and progress into the latter stages of both the Champions League and FA Cup. The Blues booked their place in the finals of the two cup competitions last month, defeating Real Madrid and Manchester City in the respective semi-finals. They also put themselves in control of the top-four race with important victories over West Ham United and Fulham. However, defeat against Arsenal last Wednesday put the pressure back on Chelsea in the  Premier League . And the Blues then suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to Leicester City in the ...

  Washington   was a weak team   to make the playoffs. It went 7-9 but showed a lot of promise this season. The roster has been built with young talent including many up-and-coming stars. Washington is set up for the future and could make another playoff appearance this season. In free agency and the draft, the Football Team added some key players that will improve the roster. Washington signed wide receiver Curtis Samuel in free agency who will instantly elevate the offense. Samuel is a versatile player who is a playmaker on offense and can score every time he touches the ball. Although they don’t have a franchise quarterback in place as Washington currently has Ryan Fitzpatrick and Taylor Heinicke in a competition for the starting spot. This team can compete with one of those quarterbacks but need to look for a long-term option. Although they don’t have a franchise quarterback they have some players that could potentially break out this season. Washington breakout candi...
