Decision Not To Abort Severely Disabled Baby Girl Sparks Debate

In the site’s TrueOffMyChest forum, the man, going by username Delicious_Appeal_369, decided to come clean about his feelings towards his daughter. He explained he and his childhood sweetheart discovered she was pregnant six years ago, when they were 20, and he admitted: “The idea of us getting married, starting a family, and going from best friends to husband and wife was exhilarating.” However, soon after they discovered the pregnancy wasn’t “viable”—tests revealed “the fetus suffered from multiple chromosomal/genetic defects and was not developing normally....

Deep Silver Interested In Metro 2033 Sequels Will Approach Broader Audience

While Metro: Last Light was waist-deep in development when Deep Silver acquired the franchise, the publisher has its own ideas for how the franchise should continue. But most importantly, they think the franchise should continue. Speaking with Deep Silver CEO Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, Joystiq learned that Deep Silver’s experience with the Metro franchise has been a “positive” one. Metro: Last Light (read our review) was certainly deserved of that attention, in large part because of the post-apocalyptic world and atmosphere that developer 4A Games was able to create....

Defending Champions Ivory Coast Could Be Next Casualty

LIBREVILLE (Reuters) - African Nations Cup holders Ivory Coast could be the next major casualty at this year’s tournament unless they can get the better of Morocco and their former coach Herve Renard in their last Group C match at Oyem on Tuesday. The Ivorians must beat Morocco to secure progress to the last eight. Failure to do so will see them follow hosts Gabon and pre-tournament favourites Algeria out the door....

Defending Champions Uttarakhand Defeat Tamil Nadu 71 69 Enter 66Th Senior National Basketball Championship Final

In a clash between last year’s finalists, Uttarakhand were made to struggle for most of the game before making a superb comeback in the last quarter. Tamil Nadu were yet to lose a game ahead of this match while Uttarakhand had dropped one of their group games to Punjab. There was little to separate the two teams in the first half with Tamil Nadu holding just a slim lead over Uttarakhand....

Defensive Chelsea Tough To Catch Admits Mourinho

Antonio Conte’s side are six points clear at the top of the table after 17 matches, and 13 ahead of United, having won all of their last 11 games. Four of their last six wins have come courtesy of a 1-0 scoreline, while they have kept nine clean sheets since their 3-0 defeat to Arsenal at Emirates Stadium in September. PSG agree Draxler deal And Mourinho believes Chelsea’s proclivity to defend leads means they are unlikely to drop too many points between now and May....

Deandre Ayton Remains With Suns Why Phoenix Matched Pacers Offer Sheet

The restricted free-agent center is back in Phoenix despite reaching agreement Thursday with the Pacers on a four-year, $133 million maximum offer sheet. The Suns had three options after Indiana made its offer: match, figure out a sign-and-trade or let Ayton walk. They very quickly matched. Ayton, who was a key part of the Suns’ 2020 run to the NBA Finals, was a restricted free agent because the Suns previously elected not to offer him the max rookie extension he desired....

Deangelo Williams Eagle Killer Chip Kelly Ruined Sam Bradford

NFL DRAFT: Latest rumors, news, mock To establish some context, Williams was asked, “How would you feel if Sam Bradford was your teams (sic) QB right now?” His response: Tame enough response. But then his followers continued to ask about Bradford, and that’s when he brought up Chip Kelly and called him an “Eagle killer.” Ignoring Williams’ typo (the letters “j” and “k” are neighboring keys so we’ll forgive it), it seems as if he’s saying Bradford and the Eagles struggled because of Kelly....

Death By Peloton How Sex And The City S Reboot Creates A Big Issue For The Brand

Throughout the episode, Big talks to Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) about the big night in he has planned. While she goes to Charlotte’s (Kristin Davis) daughter’s piano recital, Big is going to smoke his “weekly cigar” and do a 45-minute class on his Peloton bike. After the class is over, he collapses. Moments after Carrie returns, he is dead. Though we know that Big lived a fairly unhealthy life of cigars and steaks, and has previously had to have heart surgery, the implication of the scene seems to be that it was the Peloton bike that was the last straw this time....

Death Of The Party

Devotees claim that GHB–in the right dosage–lowers inhibitions, increases sex drive and provides a euphoric, out-of-body high. Many low-dose users swear by its sleep-aiding powers. Ravers consider it a lighter alternative to LSD and PCP. But even boosters admit that the stuff can knock them out cold. (No surprise, since GHB is sometimes used as an anesthetic in Europe.) It’s also been dubbed Easy Lay, a casual moniker with some sinister overtones; GHB is cropping up so frequently in date-rape cases that police in L....

Death Of The Stick

Once upon a time, learning to drive a ““four on the floor’’ was a rite of passage. The Beach Boys even used to sing about it. But today, those old-fashioned manuals are going the way of whitewalls and fuzzy dice. After decades of decline, just one new car in nine comes with a stick shift; most of them are sportscars and ultra-economy compacts. Automatics are catching on even in Europe, where most drivers still prefer manual transmissions....

Death Stranding Norman Reedus Character Named Adam According To Imdb

Speaking of the latter thespian, though, if a listing on IMDB is to be believed, then Norman Reedus’ character in the game already has his name set in stone as being Adam. So far, according to the online entertainment database’s page for Death Stranding, his is the only figure to have received a moniker, with Mads Mikkelsen and Guillermo del Toro’s characters still lacking official character titles. When taking into account the trailer scenes in which Norman Reedus has been depicted thus far, the name Adam for his protagonist character is certainly apropos, especially when one bears in mind the fact that the name is packed with biblical allusions....

Death Stranding Trailer Underwater Scene Is Playable

This scene from the trailer was far more than just another teasing section of Death Stranding’s story and themes. Speaking to famed game developer Mark Cerny at PlayStation Experience, Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima confirmed that this underwater scene will be playable. The actual gameplay objectives in this scene are unclear. Although viewers see Reedus’ character shirtless and suspended in the water, the camera then cuts to his lifeless body (still wearing his uniform)....
