The museum, not quite finished, is shaping up to be a masterpiece, the finest building yet by the man who is arguably America’s greatest architect. Ironically, it’s in this fairly remote European city, while construction on Gehry’s biggest U.S. commission, the Disney Concert Hall in his hometown of Los Angeles, has been stalled for years. Though the Guggenheim Bilbao–a joint venture of the New York-based museum and the Basque government–won’t open to the public until next summer, the building has already drawn a slew of visitors, from artists such as Julian Schnabel to the King of Spain....

People take bath salts because they provide a brief and intense high, but they have potentially life-threatening effects. The short-term effects of bath salts include paranoia, dizziness, and dehydration. They can lead to serious medical consequences including heart and brain complications, as well as psychosis, violent behavior, and death. What Are Bath Salts? Bath salts are man-made stimulants chemically related to cathinone, a naturally occuring substance found in the khat plant....

Metro.co.uk has an interview with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who was promoting the DVD release of GI Joe 2: Retaliation. During the interview, Johnson discussed playing with GI Joe action figures as a child. “I played with my GI Joe and Star Wars action figures every day,” Rock said. “They mingled. I was always creating scenarios with them, so, looking back, they were very important. The cool, emotional connectivity to all that, with me coming full circle by starring in this movie, is a very cool thing....

However, it seems as if the game developing subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive is set to enter the fray once more. According to several listings for employment on WB Games Montreal’s official website, the game developers behind Batman: Arkham Origins are preparing to hire for a “new IP project for next generation game platforms,” which spells out the potential for a fresh game in the near-future. While specifics for the new project are scarce, after a cursory glance of the job description for the production’s Game Designer, the upcoming enterprise from WB Games Montreal appears to be an open-world action title for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One....

RELATED: DC Comic Storylines That Are Too Much For The DCEU The good news is that even among all the more or less popular storylines, some of them stand out thanks to their quality and suitability for those previously unfamiliar with Batman’s comic books. The best must-read Batman storylines for beginners help the readers to understand the character better, and introduce them to Batman’s complex and fun world. 5 Year One Frank Miller’s Year One is easily one of the most iconic Batman comics....

Batman: Caped Crusader was meant to build from the hugely acclaimed animated show Batman: The Animated Series, which ran for 85 episodes on Fox Kids between 1992 and 1995. Working on the project were executive producers Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams, and The Batman director Matt Reeves. The three of them reportedly hope to shop the series to other streaming platforms, but as of right now, the project appears to be on hold....

Batshuayi is likely to miss the remainder of the campaign but retains hope of recovering in time to represent his country at the World Cup. The on-loan Chelsea frontman scored seven goals in 10 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund and his absence deals a blow to the club’s chances of hanging on to a Champions League berth, with Stoger’s side currently four points clear of fifth-placed RB Leipzig. Isak, 18, has made just one league start for Dortmund since arriving from AIK in 2017, but he could be thrown into first-team action when Dortmund host third-placed Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday....

It’s an equivalent question that was asked in 1973, when Bobby Riggs went head to head with Margaret Court. And just as a global television audience would be sure to tune in for any McEnroe-Williams clash, so the Battle of the Sexes that took place 47 years ago this week captured the world’s imagination. On May 13, 1973 – 47 years ago this week – it came down to the crapshoot of predicting whether 55-year-old Riggs, the long-retired 1939 Wimbledon champion and twice US Open winner, could match up to 30-year-old Court, by then already a 22-time grand slam winner....

That decision, it seems, was a good one. According to new data from Chart-Track, Battlefield 1 sold more copies in its first week than Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline did in their first weeks combined in the UK. In fact, Battlefield 1 came in just behind Tom Clancy’s The Division, a game that set sales records for Ubisoft. Prior to the game’s launch, Electronic Arts revealed it expects to sell just under 15 million copies of Battlefield 1 in the first year....

As part of the Community Test Environment on the PC, Battlefield 1 players are getting an early look at the new weapons included in the upcoming expansion pack. Based on the CTE, the expansion includes 11 total guns, though some of those are simply variants for other weapons. For example, the new Lebel Model 1886 is listed twice due to a Infantry and Sniper variation. Three new melee weapons are also up on the CTE server including the crude nail knife, the brutal trench fleur, and the cogwheel club....

It has been five months since Battlefield 2042 launched to an overwhelmingly negative fan reception due to various bugs and changes to the core Battlefield gameplay. Since the game’s launch, DICE has continually reiterated its intent to listen to the Battlefield community’s feedback and provide concrete plans to fix the state of Battlefield 2042. March’s Title Update 3.3 added some much-needed features like the sorely missing scoreboard, with the developers promising that a bigger update with more fixes was on the way....

According to those who have taken the survey, there are multiple versions and not all have the same questions. Of the questions that have been shared publicly, however, there are some exciting ideas. The most exciting is likely one that has to do with private servers. The question asks if the surveyed player would be interested in a “rental program” for a persistent Battlefield 2042 server. DICE previously mentioned possibly bringing back server rentals post-launch, but made no promises....

RELATED:Battlefield 5: How To Unlock The Commando Carbine Because of that, Battlefield 5 became one of the most anticipated games of 2018, and for good measure, with the diverse range of modes and the look, although the battle royal wasn’t warmly met but players still found it playable and fun. On top of that, the latest entryBattlefield 2042, is facing issues meaning players are going back to Battlefield 5, so it’s a good time for both new and old players to jump back in....

Battlefield is one of the most popular shooter franchises in the industry. While the two latest entries in the series took things back to World War 1 and 2, it has been confirmed that Battlefield 6 will return to the modern age, much to the excitement of many of its fans. However, there have been a wide variety of leaks that could indicate some incredible things about the game if true....

Fans can get a look at the latest multiplayer trailer for DICE’s Battlefield V at E3 2018 directly below. The majority of the trailer depicts a huge aerial battle taking place over the snowy landscape of what appears to be a small village. There’s plenty of boots-on-the-ground roles to fill, and the combat appears to be just as chaotic as ever, with bullets and bombs flying from almost every conceivable angle....

The British game developer put out a blog post yesterday sharing some stats around the game’s success since launch, which includes a brand new “accolades trailer” featuring quotes from reviews on different news sites. Rash is apparently the most popular character in Battletoads, according to Rare, while players have collectively died over 80 million times (primarily in turbo bike sections) and gotten over eight million collectibles.

Still, the historical similarities are eerie. By 1986 and 1987, stock prices had made a strong recovery from the stagflation and the extended, painful bear market of the 1970s to 1982. Both the U.S. bull market and the economy had been rising for almost five years, and were starting to look long in the tooth, while inflation and interest rates had been declining, and price-earnings ratios had been rising....

Australian Barty stepped away from the sport after suffering defeat in the first round of the 2014 US Open when just 18 years old, having struggled with the rigours of the professional circuit. She instead played cricket and secured a contract with Brisbane Heat for the inaugural Women’s Big Bash League, before returning to the WTA Tour in 2016. Three years and two days after she reappeared on the rankings at number 623, Barty overwhelmed Marketa Vondrousova 6-3 6-1 on Court Philippe-Chatrier to claim her first grand slam title....

That’s why, in 2012 when he was a 27-year-old minor-league starter who had been traded for cash — “Probably a bucket of baseballs,” Layne jokes — and demoted from Triple-A to Double-A within the first two months of the season, he didn’t quit. Layne, who’s now 29 and with the Red Sox, has a story familiar to lefties across baseball. Randy Choate, for example, reached the majors for the first time when he was 24, but bounced up and down and didn’t retire a single big-league hitter in either his age-31 or age-32 seasons....
