The video shared on Twitter by Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, as well as Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, showed what looked to be at least dozens of chickens running across a road. It was not immediately clear why they were running and where they came from. “Exclusive video footage of russian troops ‘regrouping’ as part of a ‘controlled withdrawal,’” Kyslytsya wrote in the post. “The innovative way of the ‘regrouping’ supposedly support [Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry] peskov’s statement of today that russia will continue its ‘military intervention’ in Ukraine ‘until the objectives are achieved....

By Monday, Eagleburger had changed his mind. Friends convinced him that his resignation would have the opposite effect from the one he intended: cynics would conclude that if a man of his rank was being sacrificed, it could only be to protect someone at the White House who had ordered the passport search. Eagleburger had already started an investigation. NEWSWEEK has learned that on the afternoon of Oct. 15, a staffer told him of a “rumor” about monitored telephone calls in which two of his subordinates discussed the political opportunities presented by the search of the Clinton files....

The confirmation comes straight from the Sony PlayStation Blog, with Game Director Kurt Margenau revealing that a cameo from Nathan Drake was something the studio had considered, but ultimately just didn’t feel right – Drake’s story had been told and wrapped up nicely, so having him re-appear here would have felt a little too forced. Here’s how Margenau weighed in on the decision: Margenau also joked that fans could imagine Drake sitting on the couch playing Crash Bandicoot as the events of The Lost Legacy unfold, making a solid reference to one of Uncharted 4’s most nostalgia-inducing moments....

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is looking to do the original releases of the games justice, as it is bringing to the table improved visuals, new game modes, and more. The latest footage for the game showcases a sequence from Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and shows off the collection’s improvements in action, all at 60FPS. The scene in question begins with protagonist Nathan Drake locked in a cell. He then makes a daring escape with the aid of partner Elena Fisher, which features Drake firing at enemies using a turret attached to the back of a jeep, as well as darting through waters on a jet-ski....

This is according to Naughty Dog’s communications director Arne Meyer. Meyer made this lofty claim about Uncharted 4 in a recent interview with PlayStation Espana, stating: Considering how well players responded to the opening sequence in The Last of Us, this should get fans plenty hyped. Of course, Meyer is biased as he works for Naughty Dog, but he’s not the only one praising Uncharted 4. In fact, just recently, some of the Quantum Break developers expressed excitement for Uncharted 4....

For a series that has been around as long as Uncharted has, it is truly a wonder that gamers still find out unique things. For instance, only a couple of years ago, the Naughty Dog devs revealed that the red marks on the screen in Uncharted weren’t damaged, blood, or hits that Nate was taking. Instead, they were essentially representative of Nate’s “luck” running out, which made sense thematically, way more than Nathan being a superhuman bullet sponge....

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Sony has set the release date of the Uncharted film for December 18, 2020, coinciding with the release of Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, and the sequel to Paramount’s Coming to America.

Rogan, who was able to call Lee’s head kick knockout at UFC 244, has now claimed that ‘The Motown Phenom’ is still not in his prime in mixed martial arts and praised him for taking up a very high-risk fight in the form of Gregor Gillespie at the last UFC pay-per-view.

While in conversation with UFC light heavyweight Anthony Smith, ‘The Count’ offered his take on Adesanya’s claim to ‘The Spider’s’ throne of the middleweight GOAT. Michael Bisping admitted that Adesanya’s next fight could reveal whether ‘The Last Stylebender’ can break Silva’s records. Anderson Silva managed to collect several records throughout his storied career in the UFC. Silva, for instance, boasts an incredible win streak of 16 wins in a row....

It’s not clear as to whether the two will have a rematch, especially since Lawler has now just come off a loss to Colby Covington. Either way, Woodley spoke to fans in a Q&A (H/T MMA Fighting) in Vancouver, where he gave Usman credit where it was due in their past fight, but also stated his desire to beat him. He said that on paper, he’s still a stylistic nightmare for Usman....
