Many have fallen under the looming shadow of heavy hitters like Smash Bros, Goldeneye, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Some may have lacked advertising or an appeal to draw in Nintendo fans, while others simply might not have been widely available. Whatever the reasons, there’s no shortage of fun and charming hidden gems of all kinds on the console. Let’s dive right in and revisit the unique library of the N64, as we examine the 10 best hidden gems on Nintendo’s late-90s machine....

Bill Vaughn is right. Mathematically, it is possible for a single game to last forever. Some might argue that a few certainly feel like they have. Baseball’s extra-innings rule in the regular season — which puts a so-called magic runner on second base to start each half-inning after the bottom of the ninth — helped to reduce the length of games in 2021. Only 62 games reached the 11th inning during the season, a drastic reduction from the 234 games that reached the 11th in 2019 before the rule was implemented for the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season....

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said at a press conference on Tuesday that there were plenty of hospital beds available to treat COVID-19 patients if they are needed. “We are in the middle of a short period of time where all of us are have to co-exist with COVID-19,” he said. “This is going to continue to be the case for at least the next few months until we have the medicines to treat people who test positive for COVID-19”...

With NASCAR and IndyCar as his anchor events at TMS, Gossage said Saturday morning he would have a big problem if either of those series decide to hold events at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, which is about 200 miles from TMS, located just north of Fort Worth.

Gallo is asymptomatic and reportedly feeling well, but needs two negative tests in a row before he is able to join the team. The 26-year-old slugger first tested positive for COVID-19 on June 29 from a saliva test. A nasal swab a day later came back negative before another saliva test taken on July 2 came back positive on Sunday. Major League Baseball will release the 2020 schedule later on Monday, and Gallo could still be ready for the start of the season....

Randi Woodley’s 4-year-old grandson, Michael—who’s also known as “Tink”—was told by a Tatum Elementary School teacher that his hair violated the school’s dress code, which mandates, “no ponytails, ducktails, rat-tails, male buns, or puffballs are allowed on male students.” The code also stipulates hair for boys “shouldn’t extend past the top of a t-shirt collar.” Woodley, who has been Tink’s custodian since he was 8 months old, was called into the principal’s office in August 2018 and told “that my grandson’s hair was too long....

Texas Tech drew up the best two-point conversion play in the history of American football (citation needed) in the first half against Kansas. Deep snapper David Brenner “snapped” the ball to Clark, a 6-6, 308-pound offensive lineman. He really just tossed it back to him, and the big man did the rest.

Texas currently leads the all-time series over Oklahoma with a record of 60-25-5, but the Sooners have won the past four matchups, including the 2018 Big 12 Championship Game. Last season, Oklahoma defeated Texas in a classic shootout 55-48. The quarterbacks stole the show, as both Caleb Williams and Casey Thompson were going shot for shot. This season, the Longhorns have a new starting quarterback in Quinn Ewers, who suffered a left clavicle injury in Week 2 against Alabama....

AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - The Thai duo of Thongchai Jaidee and Kiradech Aphibarnrat took different routes to the same score, shooting even-par 72 in the opening round at the Masters on Thursday. Both players were satisfied with their score in strong winds at Augusta National on a day when many players had their hopes of a Green Jacket blown away. “Very happy with even par. Very good round for me,” Jaidee told Reuters, adding that he was most pleased with avoiding any three-putts on the demanding greens which were made even more difficult by the whipping winds....

It’s a miracle. I’m shocked. I got to bed early Tuesday night to prepare for a long day Wednesday and totally expected to wake up and see Giants vs. Nationals Round 2 all over Twitter. Instead, I saw exactly what I really wanted to see.

We're assuming "Glendale Taxpayers" wasn't a viable option. That's a tough logo to design. “Becoming the Arizona Coyotes makes sense for us since we play our games in Glendale and the city is such a great partner of ours," team president Anthony LeBlanc said. "We also want to be recognized as not just the hockey team for Glendale or Phoenix, but the team for the entire state of Arizona and the Southwest....

There will three games on the NFL’s holiday menu this season. There were only two during the 2020 season, as the Steelers-Ravens night game was postponed as a result of COVID issues. But now, the nightcap will return with a battle between the Bills and Saints. As always, the Lions and Cowboys will be in action in the earlier two games. The Lions will play a divisional rivalry against the Bears in the 12:30 p....

Yesterday, an unofficial video showing the first thirty minutes of Crysis 2 was released, giving gamers a spoiler-heavy look into how the game starts, along with a bit of the intrigue surrounding the story. As it turns out, the story isn’t just about an alien invasion in New York City. Okay, that might have been a spoiler too, but aren’t you interested? Crytek has released another line of videos entitled “The Crysis 2 Experience” with this particular installment called “Road Rage,” countering their “Multiplayer Progression” series of videos....

Universal attempted to revive this in 2014 with Dracula Untold and start the Dark Universe, but it was a failure in all senses of the word. They tried again in 2017 with The Mummy and, yet again, it was torn apart by critics and audiences. However when Universal partner Blumhouse released The Invisible Man in 2020 and it was a huge success, there was hope for the Dark Universe yet again....

Credit goes to Turkish food artist and chef Tuba Geçkil of Red Rose Cake, who is known for making cakes that look like realistic, everyday objects. The cakes that Red Rose Cake shares on Instagram are eerily realistic. One looks exactly like packaged raw chicken, and another like the animated characters from Pixar’s Up, to cite just two examples. This baking technique—known as trompe l’oeil—combines creative talent with culinary skills....

Although Star Wars takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the rusty, lived-in aesthetic of Tatooine influenced the depictions of a “used future” in Alien, Blade Runner, Terminator, The Matrix, and a bunch of other sci-fi classics. By the late ‘70s, there was a generally accepted vision of the future in which everything was very clean and pristine. Everybody wore the same jumpsuits and the spaceships and buildings were all in tip-top, good-as-new condition....
