But suddenly, midway through the second quarter, after a Cousins interception, that tryout schedule changed. Or so it seemed. Brian Hoyer, Kyle Shanahan’s seat-warmer, was out. C.J. Beathard, Shanahan’s project, was in. And now, the franchise quarterback for the Shanahan-John Lynch regime will be the (projected) $30-million-a-year Cousins … or Beathard, the unpolished third-round gem. Don’t feel bad if you didn’t see that plot twist coming. Shanahan probably didn’t even see it....

The topic was brought up by Ripple Effect Studios Senior Design Director Justin Wiebe during an interview on Battlefield Nation. Ripple Effect Studios being the former DICE LA studio that’s moving in a different direction following the release of Battlefield 2042.

Gamescom 2011 brought us a lot of great new Battlefield 3 stuff, most notably, the first cooperative game footage and a great new multiplayer trailer featuring both jet and helicopter gameplay. While the gameplay side of the equation of BF3 looks great, the client side of things looks a little bleek. Battlefield 3 will be requiring PC gamers to run EA’s Origin service to play online and limiting Origin users to having one soldier (account) per game....

During the livestream presentation, host Trevor Noah outright asked the Battlefield V developers if the game would be “pay to win,” or allow players to spend money in order to gain a gameplay advantage. To which DICE responded, “No, you can’t pay to get an unfair gameplay advantage in Battlefield V.” When Noah jokingly pressed the point, asking “what if I have a lot of money?” the developer explained again that Battlefield has always been about “balanced rock, paper, scissors gameplay” and it still is in Battlefield V....

Georgia, Alabama and Florida have fought over the water for almost two decades. But as the southeast struggles with the most severe droughts to hit the region in recorded history, the battle has grown intense. There were once 154 boat ramps on giant Lake Lanier; today, there are only two, bogged down in the mud flats. Cities and power companies have been extending their intake pipes deeper and deeper into the river in a desperate bid to maintain flow....

The Allianz Arena outfit were involved in the qualifying stages for the Champions League as recently as 2000, but they have endured a wretched spell on the field, with the nadir arriving last week as they were defeated in a relegation playoff by Jahn Regensburg.

The Stars won the toss and elected to field first and this proved out to be the right move as Renegades’ opener, Tom Cooper fell in just the second over. Chris Gayle and captain, Cameron White were involved in a 53-run partnership, but Stars’ all-rounder Marcus Stoinis dismissed both the settled batsmen in consecutive deliveries.

Electric vehicles seem like a good idea, because we are often told that they’re cleaner to drive and cheaper to own. But when you dig a little deeper, a different truth emerges. Are EVs cleaner than existing alternatives? Not in China, or the United States — where major auto markets derive the bulk of their power from coal. Are EVs cheaper to operate? Yes, but only if you hold onto those cars for a longer period of time, because they have higher upfront costs....
