Video Game Review: Quantum Break

As Jack Joyce, you’re able to unleash a modest yet effective array of powers. You can create a bubble that slows everything within it, generate an explosive rift that deals area damage, dodge rapidly, conjure a shield that deflects incoming projectiles and execute a sustained sprint that brings the world around you to virtual standstill, allowing you to pound hapless victims with a melee strike.

The Wire Troll: Replacing Anton Stralman

Klein has been a beast the past few weeks, scoring at an impressive point-per-game pace with two goals, seven points, a plus-7 rating, 11 shots on goal, 14 hits and 14 blocked shots in his last seven games. With just eight goals and 21 points in 61 games, he’s not going to be a consistent offensive defenseman, but you don’t need him to be — just hope and pray he keeps it up over the final two weeks of the season.

Blu-ray Review: Point Break

Point Break really has two things going for it. First, the movie is beautiful. Traveling around the world to attempt the fictitious Ozaki Eight affords cinematographer/director Ericson Core the opportunity to shoot in amazing locations. Whether it’s the cliffs, walls of snow, thundering waves or the waterfall of Angel Falls in Venezuela, the scenery is consistently breathtaking.

We know many people in many professions that are extremely competitive, but we have yet to meet a doctor or a lawyer that started training for their profession when they were six.

2016 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Catcher Rankings

The fifth overall pick from 2008 has established himself as the king at catcher for several years now. Because of his ability to also play first base, he remains in the lineup nearly every day, last season reaching 150 games for the first time in his career. Posey is extremely productive, and while he has next to no speed, he’s a dangerous hitter that is often pitched around (career high 10 intention passes last year). His slugging dipped a tad last year, but his BABIP was right around career norms, so you can expect another high average season in 2016. Posey is also listed in our First Base Rankings, coming shortly.
