The answer, as it turns out, falls somewhere between the ironic and the entirely fitting. Spore’s various interfaces, like its plethora of creatures, needed to evolve—far more than Wright had initially anticipated—in order for the game to engage a mass audience. “The biggest design challenge was keeping it very accessible to players so that every bit of the game was intuitive, easy and approachable,” says Wright. At the same time, Wright’s team was mashing up different types of games—as players move up the evolutionary ladder, the gameplay mutates as well, mimicking classics ranging from Pac-Man and Diablo to SimCity and Civilization—and the designers needed to find a way to keep the game controls, camera angles and rewards consistent....

“Bin Laden was big, but this was bigger,” Trump argued on Sunday during a press conference. Trump announced to reporters and the world that Baghdadi was dead after Saturday’s U.S. military operation, which was first reported by Newsweek. The president said that Baghdadi was “the biggest there is” and “the worst ever.” Although he said “Osama bin Laden was very big,” he insisted that Baghdadi “is a man who built a whole, as he would like to call it, a country, a caliphate, and was trying to do it again....

Defensive ends Randy Gregory and Taco Charlton are no longer with the Cowboys, but that seems to be a fact that owner Jerry Jones can’t seem to let go of. The Cowboys owner recently threw some shade veiled in a joke at former first-round pick Charlton (and his son Stephen Jones), at a pre-draft press conference, comparing the flame-out first-rounder to breakout first-round pick Micah Parsons. “Taco was Stephen’s call … (Micah) Parsons was my call,” Jones said....

Walsh, who served as a representative from Illinois and is also a syndicated radio host, drew a comparison between how Trump has now responded to a close ally compared to how he has reacted to an infamous dictator. “The moral of the story? Always say nice things about Donald Trump and you’ll be fine,” Walsh, who regularly criticizes Trump despite being a Republican himself, wrote on Twitter. “I mean, you can be one of the most evil dictators on the planet, but as long as you say nice things about Trump, he’ll embrace you....

House investigators on Wednesday opened the public phase of an impeachment inquiry against Trump, with acting Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent testifying before Congress. Republicans attempted to dismiss the witnesses, who have served under Republican and Democratic administrations, as part of a “politicized bureaucracy.” Scarborough, who served in Congress during the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, which he supported, argued that there was a stark contrast between the diplomats’ testimony and the Republicans defending Trump....

The ex-goalkeeper formed part of the backroom staff at Old Trafford when Ronaldo arrived from Sporting in 2003. Now a four-time Ballon d’Or winner and the greatest goalscorer in Real Madrid’s illustrious history, the Portuguese was considered lightweight and prone to going to ground too easily after linking up with United. Man Utd 9/4 to win title Ferguson quickly made it his “mission” to eradicate such theatrics, with the likes of Roy Keane and Rio Ferdinand allowed to offer harsh lessons to an exciting talent who has gone on to cement a standing as an all-time great....

The International Cricket Council made the decision after Jayasuriya admitted to breaching two counts of its anti-corruption code. He was charged last October with failing or refusing to cooperate, and obstructing or delaying the investigation, and said at the time he has “always conducted (himself) with integrity and transparency” in cricket. “This conviction under the code demonstrates the importance of participants in cricket cooperating with investigations,” Alex Marshall, the general manager of the ICC anti-corruption unit, said in a statement....

Mulvaney, who served as acting chief of staff for former President Donald Trump, believes today’s hearing on the riot did not go well for his former boss and does not see things getting any better for him in the future. “Cheney’s closing is stunning: they think they have evidence of witness tampering and obstruction of justice. There is an old maxim: it’s never the crime, it’s always the coverup. Things went very badly for the former President today....
