In a new video released Thursday, Trebek said his chemotherapy treatments are “over” and he’s “on the mend.” “Let me tell you, it’s going to be a good year,” Trebek said in the video. A spokeswoman for the show confirmed that production of season 36 is now underway, according to CNN. The new episodes are slated to begin airing on local TV stations on September 9.

That is why Deep Dasgupta feels Root is the only big hurdle between India and a win.

Aliens: Colonial Marines, Borderlands 2, Dead Space 3, Far Cry 3, Gears of War: Judgment, God of War: Ascension, Halo 4 and Splinter Cell: Black List, for example, are all shipping with co-op campaigns and/or various other co-op modes at launch. So, what about some of our favorite games of the current generation that released already without such a mode? The modding community is coming to the rescue. Modding did wonders for Minecraft, with many of the community-generated additions later becoming official parts of the game through updates, and it’s made the latest few games of The Elder Scrolls Series become entirely new games....

But the program established in 1983 by former Los Angeles police chief Daryl Gates has come under fire recently. A January report on D.A.R.E. by the government’s General Accounting Office concluded that the program has had “no statistically significant long-term effect on preventing youth illicit drug use” and that students who participate in it demonstrate “no significant differences” in their “attitudes toward illicit drug use” compared to children who had not been exposed to the program....

Finally, Eve (played by Sandra Oh) came face to face with Villanelle (Jodie Comer) for more than a split second this season, after Villanelle had effectively taken hostage Eve’s friend Martin (Adeel Akhtar), a criminal psychiatrist. Eve, who has always found herself drawn to Villanelle (and vice versa) decided to make a big move almost as shocking as when she stabbed Villanelle in Season 1. However, audiences didn’t expect Eve to be the one to betray Villanelle, especially after all of this time....

The world champions were beaten 2-0 by the Asian side, with late goals from Kim Young-gwon and Tottenham star Son Heung-Min condemning Joachim Low’s team to their first group stage exit of the modern era. Germany subsequently finished bottom of Group G, having also lost to Mexico, and only squeezed past Sweden with a dramatic injury time free-kick. Matthaus, who won the World Cup in 1990 and also tasted European Championship glory in 1980, insists that his contemporaries deserved their defeat, and believes there has been a role reversal, with Germany now in the same position England have been in over previous years....

Expect to see Volibear throwing down lightning bolts from the sky and running on all fours, making him a bit more of an elemental deity than just a grumpy ursine who wants to protect his Frejlordian people. According to gameplay designer Nathan “Riot Lutzburg” Lutz, Volibear is made to sit somewhere between a Juggernaut and a Vanguard—meaning he’s tanky but can still deal a fair amount of damage. Volibear still has a “targeted bitem only this time it’s both his opener AND his finisher,” Lutz said in the blog post....

The financial journalist, usually seen on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, has received good reviews for his stint hosting the game show—and admits he’d love to make the role permanent. Faber told Newsweek: “If they were to offer me the job I think I would say yes, but I think it’s highly unlikely at this point. I’m really just thrilled to have had the chance to host five shows.
