The immediate backlash President Trump faced on Tuesday only intensified overnight after he doubled down on his assertion that “both sides” were to blame for deadly violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“There are two sides to a story,” Trump insisted on Tuesday, echoing the widely denounced comments he made Saturday, as the violence was unfolding in Virginia.
There were “a lot of bad people in the other group too,” he added in reference to the anti-racist protesters demonstrating against the rally, one of whom, 32-year-old Heather Heyer, was killed when a driver rammed his car into a group of the counter-protesters.

The announcements continue to roll out for DC Comics during several of their panels here at San Diego Comic-Con. During their Dark Nights: Metal and Dark Matter panel they announced another new ongoing series coming soon featuring Duke Thomas called Batman: The Signal and it will be written by DC Talent Workshop alum Tony Patrick.
Duke Thomas had made his debut in DC Comics New 52 Batman #21 during an arc called Zero Year where he assisted Batman. Then during the arc called Endgame, the Joker kidnapped Duke's family and used them to try and recreate Bruce Wayne's parents' murder right in front of him. Batman managed to save Duke, but Duke's parents unfortunately were lost to the Joker's gas. Later he became part of the group of Robins during the time that Bruce Wayne was gone. When DC launched Rebirth Batman had returned and offered Duke a position,...

Without a doubt, Scott Snyder has made quite the name for himself over the course of the past seven years, arguably becoming one of the most lauded writers to touch the Dark Knight in history. With his highly acclaimed run with artist Greg Capullo now behind him, he’s been hard at work crafting his own Long Halloween of sorts in the form of All-Star Batman.
So far, we’ve experienced a story arc that completely redefined the Batman-Two-Face relationship, which was followed by an incredible prose heavy tale involving Mr. Freeze. But, with the latest issue, Snyder turns his attention to one of the greatest femme fatales in all of comics – Poison Ivy.
Fresh off her own miniseries – Cycle of Life and Death – Pamela Isley will no doubt be making frequent appearances in various...

Comic Book Reviews: DC Comics Round Up Week 08-10-2016
Scott Snyder is back on Batman in an "all –star" way! (see what I did there?) as he teams up with two fantastic artist in Veteran John Romita Jr. and upcoming superstar Declan Shalvey. How does it hold up to his previous Batman New 52 run? Well read on to see! Also we get the return of the deadliest man in the world -- Deathstroke -- which was penned by the super talented Christopher Priest.
Action Comics #961
Story: Dan Jurgens Art: Stephen Segovia, Art Thibert
Review: Typically I don’t like it when a series keeps changing artist issue to issue, but honestly each illustrator that’s jumped on to Action Comics with Dan Jurgens has been top notch! I’m a huge fan of Tyler Kirkham and Patrick Bircher, and equally a huge fan of Stephen Segovia! And, to be fair,...

From the very first and second issue of Tom King’s Batman I have not for once believed that Gotham and Gotham Girl were going to stay on as the heroes they claimed to be, for me I felt that there had to be a twist in there somewhere. Maybe their power source was going to manipulate them somehow, or maybe they were even just playing Batman the whole time in a bigger scheme. Leave it to Tom King to use a not very well known villain to bring out the worst in Gotham and Gotham Girl.
We begin this issue at the same place we left off just some time after. At this time Batman is walking through a mess of dead soldiers and a very scared Gotham Girl who is crying in a corner. Then we find Gotham somewhere else in the city re-creating a scene from an issue of All-Star Superman.

It's time for a new type of Batman - Boy Wonder. At least, that's the premise from the team of writer Lee Bermejo and artists Rob Haynes and Khary Randolph. Their intriguing, We Are Robin series will not feature Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown or Damian Wayne. Instead, the lead of the series will be Duke Thomas, a young African-American teenager who made his comic book debut in Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Batman: Zero Year. Duke is a key figure in the "Robin Movement" a group of Gotham teens who make it their mission to protect and serve their city. Bermejo told USA Today that 'We Are Robin' is a "chance to expand the Robin character past teenage white kids who all look the same." Bermejo has stated that the series will also explore just why Batman would ever allow teenagers into his dangerous world of crime-fighting.

Breaking: David Unger has become co-ceo of Three Six Zero Entertainment, a new venture that will create a bridge for the youth music-centric company to branch into entertainment management and production. He’ll run the venture with Mark Gillespie and Dean Wilson, who run Three Six Zero Group and manage such Edm music powerhouse clients as Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean, Deadmau5 and Duke Dumont. The venture will operate in partnership with Shawn “Jay Z” Carter’s Roc Nation.
Unger had been a long time talent agent at ICM, and took a leap with Jeff Berg when the latter formed the talent agency Resolution. Launching a traditional talent agency without multiple revenue streams is a near impossible pursuit, and Resolution hit the wall when a promise of funding from China didn’t materialize in time. Despite the crash and burn–Unger didn’t jump, he went down with the ship–his...

Desiree and her "Bachelorette" contestants have jetted off to Madeira, an island off the coast of Portugal and Morocco. Looks beautiful.
It's also time to lop off one unlucky fella whose family Desiree will not meet. Who ya got? We would say that out of Brooks, Chris, Drew, Michael and Zakkkk that Michael is the one heading home. *kitty!*
Drew says, "[Madeira] is built for love." The "as am I" is left unsaid.
Catherine, Jackie and Lesley are there to help Desiree decide! Fun times. Sure, it's weird to invite the girls who were also vying for your last boyfriend's heart, but ... nah, we don't care. We heart Jackie, Catherine and Lesley!
They chat about the men, all of the good points for Dez on each guy, but she doesn't say anything too specific said, of course. Really, there's no reason for the girls to be there unless they get to...

The Wokingham is another fiercely competitive handicap sprint that will see 28 runners line-up.
Currently heading the betting is the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Duke Of Firenze, (6/1) a horse that flew home like a very good horse in the Dash at Epsom on Derby day having endured a highly troubled passage through the race, and he rightfully deserves his position at the market’s summit at present.
He’ll carry a five pound penalty for that win though and he had disappointed slightly on his previous start so although he looks to have the class to maybe go further than handicapping in time at a relatively short price he is worth opposing.
Rex Imperator (10/1) was progressive at three for Roger Charlton but having sort of lost his way a little he is now in the care of William Haggas. He looked back to more like his best last time out travelling well...

#5. Aliens: Colonial Marines
Developer: Gearbox Software / Nerve Software / TimeGate Studios
Release Date: February 12, 2013
Platform(s): PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
The Alien movie franchise has inspired many video games over the years, but nothing to really write home about. In spite of that however, the thought of an Alien game still titillates the hopes of many simply based on the deep love for the movie franchise. Enter Aliens: Colonial Marines, announced in 2008 with Gearbox Software at the helm. Gearbox, then known as a company who primarily ported console games to the Windows platform, gained great praise in 2009 for their new original game titled Borderlands. With Gearbox’s recent success, the hype train left the station, and it ended up hitting max speed when Colonial Marines made its appearance at E3 2011. The trailer shown for the game looked fantastic: it was incredibly atmospheric, graphically stunning, and felt like a believable part of the Alien universe.

From the Commodore 64 to the modern day, check out 35 of videogaming's best ever soundtracks (and listen to them here...)
Games are often praised for their amazing visuals, deep, complex gameplay and well-written narrative, but music is also a big part of the media. Just as it forms an essential part of any movie's atmosphere, games need the right soundtrack in order to fully immerse the player into the game world. A rousing audio track can stir the emotions, properly relay the heroic nature of a protagonist, or instil fear when needed.
Games soundtracks are, arguably, much more important than other media, as the player is the star, in full control of the action. Whilst music in movies is hugely important, in a game the audio doesn't just accompany the visuals, but has to pair up perfectly with the player's actions and the events onscreen...

Leo Records was founded in 1979 by Leo Feigin, a Russian who had emigrated to England. Early in its history, back before the glasnost era, it was most noted for releasing avant-garde Russian jazz at a time when government authorities discouraged the style. As Alexander Alexandrov of Moscow Composers Orchestra says, "What the authorities really hated was free jazz and improvised music – for the reason we loved it, because it was a powerful symbol of individual freedom." Although somehow the Ganelin Trio's first album came out on the official Soviet record label, Melodiya, it was the group's many albums on Leo that earned both the band and Leo world-wide reputations.
Eventually Leo expanded enough that it even had offshoots: Leo Lab for new artists, Golden Years of New Jazz for vintage material. Especially notable from the latter are four superb four-cd sets comprising a series entitled Golden Years of the Soviet...

It’s rare for a film sequel to be as good as the original – but with video games it generally tends to be the opposite. Gaming sequels often manage to take the experience of the first game and expand it with new features and improved graphics, making each new entry in the series a significant step forward. It’s for this reason that many of gaming’s most popular franchises have seen sequels which are regarded by many as superior to the original title.
But sadly….. It’s not always the case.
Here’s our list featuring ten of the most disappointing video game sequels of all time.
Fable III (2010)
Peter Molyneux’s fantasy series has both a devoted legion of fans and an army of cynics. For many the potential that was shown in the original Fable was squandered in the long awaited sequel Fable II, which failed to...
