Dillon Brooks is stepping up for the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Wire Troll: Dillon Brooks Dealing in Memphis

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

If the Warriors continue to falter and decide to blow it up, Burks is rumoured to be on the block. And right now, all he’s doing is increasing his trade value as another guard getting extra PT with all the backcourt injuries in Golden State. On Wednesday, he went off for 28 points, eight boards, three assists and two steals, and after burning his way through three teams last season, he’s settled in as a key bench player for the Warriors. For now.

Clearly, the Chargers (4-5) are not dead yet this season, as evidenced by a convincing win over the Packers on Sunday. On Thursday, they try the winning going in Oakland in a huge AFC West rivalry match up against the Raiders (4-4), led by QB Derek Carr, who has been on fire the last three games.

Video Game Review: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

Events on the 2D side are simpler, often employing a two-button approach to mimic what you would’ve seen with an NES controller, though some events do use the analog sticks and/or the other buttons (such as the vault). The throwback element works well here, and even though there are fewer events in the Toyko 1964 section, the enjoyment was more consistent. It’s worth noting that many of the 3D events can be played with motion controls, but we found it to be less fun that way and stuck with the buttons.

Lars Eller seems to keep getting better for the Washington Capitals.

The Wire Troll: Tyler Toffoli on the Trade Block

/ Hockey, The Wire Troll

Eller has been hot lately, racking up five points over his last five games, while going +2 with 10 shots and one short-handed marker. He slipped a tad offensively last season, but with 10 points in his first 14 games, he could he headed for a career best. Eller was seeing time on the second line earlier this season, but he’s now spearheading the third line.

Blu-ray Review: The Kitchen

/ Movie Reviews

While the idea is interesting, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The way that the various shop owners just go along with the idea of three women undercutting the mob with basically no questions asked seemed lazy and absurd. It feels like they went from broke to successful overnight, and since no struggle or adversity is shown in reaching that point it doesn’t provide a reason to feel happy for them. They blew through that aspect of the story far too quickly in a rush to start piling up the dead bodies.

Video Game Review: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD

/ Video Game Reviews

Our biggest complaint, however, is the camera, which remains locked in place as you try to move around these winding levels, often to your detriment. It felt incredibly outdated to not have the option to swing the camera around for a cleaner look or more subtle adjustments, and the constant motion of the screen was borderline stomach turning after a while — it’s worse in handheld mode. There are also some mini-games that offer different setups, all of which at least control adequately.
