PSG continued their 100 per cent start to the Ligue 1 season with a 2-0 victory at home to Lyon thanks to a pair of own goals, a result somewhat overshadowed by a disagreement between star forwards Cavani and Neymar. Le Parisiens 11/2 to win CL Cavani and €222 million arrival Neymar quarrelled over a penalty in the 79th minute — the Uruguayan eventually winning the argument with his new team-mate but missing from the spot....

Shortly after the rapper concluded his individual performance of “Lose Yourself,” he knelt to the ground. Though a league spokesman would later deny it, a Puck.com article detailing the behind-the-scenes battle between Dr. Dre and the NFL suggested the league nixed a plan by Eminem to kneel, a la Colin Kaepernick.

To be clear, Jorgensen wasn’t trying to push an agenda or make a profound statement; he’s just the company’s financial officer making clear the state of the company and industry. It’s video game purchasers who are changing the industry on their own, but Jorgensen does have a theory as to why consumers are shifting away from retail: Jorgensen goes on to equate the shift to the book, television, and film industries, where digital consumption is higher than ever....

Speculation is naturally running rampant regarding exactly what two games Electronic Arts might be hiding, but the truth is that both have likely already been hinted at. Josef Fares, creator of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, hinted on Twitter that his studio Hazelight’s first game might be at the event. Hazelight’s first game just happens to be published by EA. The second game might be BioWare’s new IP, reportedly codenamed Dylan....

The patent is described as “training for machine learning of AI controlled virtual entities,” with the crux supposedly surrounding AI learning from data gathered from real-life players. How EA’s tech will do that is by allegedly detecting “when a particular gameplay situation occurs during the player’s video game experience,” and registering exactly how the player reacts. In turn, this will be used to “train a rule set based on the game state data....

Nevertheless, gamers can now officially call Electronic Arts the worst company in America. Their somewhat shady day-one DLC practices, their failure to deliver on the promises of Mass Effect 3, and an all-around general ineptitude when it comes to game development (read: making Dead Space 3 more action focused) are definitely the greater sins when compared to the likes of Bank of America. Wait…what? Yes, for the second year in a row Electronic Arts also beat out Bank of America for the “Golden Poo” award....

ELEX 2 comes from the developers of the Gothic and Risen games, giving it a degree of RPG pedigree. While the first game didn’t have an astonishingly high critical reception, sequels do tend to outdo their predecessors, and ELEX 2 is painting itself as a more ambitious project than the original game, which should give fans some hope for what the new game will offer.

Musk’s net worth tanked by $16.3 billion on Tuesday meaning he has dropped out of the top five of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index—a daily ranking of the world’s richest people....

With recent figures from Bloomberg putting the car entrepreneur at a net worth of $90.3 billion, he is poised to overtake Zuckerberg, if Tesla stock continues to surge as it has over the past year. Bloomberg estimates that, year-to-date, Musk’s net worth has rocketed by $62.8 billion. On Monday alone, Tesla stock surged by 11 percent, bumping Musk’s worth up by nearly $8 billion.

During an appearance on the Nelk Boys’ Full Send podcast, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO acknowledged he would accept a challenge from Kim.

Ember Moon’s main roster run Ember Moon had a dominant stint in NXT where she was a former Women’s Champion. However, when she moved up to the main roster, she didn’t find notable success. Ember Moon won the opportunity to challenge Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WWE Summerslam but came short of winning the gold at the biggest event of the summer. Following her title feud, she once again suffered back-to-back losses which took away her momentum on the Blue brand....

Emergency room nurse Coco Balalau clocked 84 hours last week, administering an array of patient treatments from beneath layers of head-to-toe safety gear. Almost all of Balalau’s personal protective equipment (PPE) was provided by her employer, a medical center located along the periphery of the Dallas metroplex. However, one critical garment—a machine-washable scrub cap with buttons judiciously sewn into the fabric on both sides—was newly handmade. Prompted by a colleague’s request and inspiration she found online, Balalau has crafted numerous caps and headbands for staff across several of the medical facility’s departments, as well as for the hospital’s president....

Back-to-back defeats at home to Crystal Palace and away at Wolves saw the Gunners slip to fifth in the table, a point behind Chelsea, leaving their hopes of a top-four finish out of their hands. Those losses came after a positive run in which Arsenal beat Napoli 3-0 on aggregate in the Europa League quarter-finals and battled to a 1-0 victory against Watford at Vicarage Road. And head coach Emery insists it is important to focus on their coming matches, not their previous ones, as they aim for just a fourth league win in 14 away matches....

Tens of thousands of people remain without power in Moore County after authorities said two power substations were shot at in a “targeted” attack on Saturday.

Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) indicate it is now possible to “precisely control” electrical currents by tampering with an electron’s spin and orbital rotation around a nucleus. The new method shows how a metal can be transitioned into an insulator. The findings were published in Nature Physics yesterday (February 3) under the title: “Spin-orbit-controlled metal–insulator transition in Sr2IrO4.” “We have found a new way to switch electrical conduction in materials from on to off,” said author Berend Zwartsenberg, of UBC’s Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (SBQMI)....

There is no lacking in creativity, though, and that’s what Piranha Bytes’ sequel, Elex 2, proves beyond a doubt. Elex 2 takes the events of the first game, lays out the results for players, and sends them on a new epic quest in the world of Magalan. Game Rant recently previewed the first chapter of the game, and indeed, it sets up an epic quest defined by creativity. RELATED: THQ Nordic Still Has a Ton of Unannounced Projects in the Works...
