Crimson tides

2020 took us all on a wild roller coaster ride, but we’re still here … and there’s still football. In fact, America’s great-golden Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner now. On Sunday, February 7, Super Bowl LV will christen the TV screens of football fans throughout the nation.

Persona 5 Strikers Score Details “It's all style and little substance in this sequel/spinoff to Persona 5.” Great music Well-written Lacks compelling gameplay Uninteresting antagonists Little challenge MSRP $60.00 Persona 5 Strikers is more of a sequel than any of the previous Persona spinoffs, but it fails live up to the lofty expectations fans may have for it . Fans of Persona 5 who simply want more of this world, whatever shape that may take, might find themselves satisfied even if what made Persona 5 truly great is sorely lacking.

Roman Czarnomski is one brave guy. Or just plain crazy. The resident of British Columbia earlier this week jumped into a freezing cold harbor in Victoria on the west coast of Canada to rescue his beloved iPhone XS. A video (below) of the precarious salvage effort begins with Czarnomski stripped down to his underpants as he ponders whether he really is going to submerge himself in ice-cold water for the sake of a handset. With snow falling in what looks to be frigid temperatures, one of the onlookers tries to persuade Czarnomski to abandon his rescue effort, telling him, “Your phone’s ruined, don’t jump in there, it’s a bad idea … it’s not worth it.” But the guy recording the video, evidently keen for Czarnomski to bring his iPhone to the surface (or simply desperate to catch some wacky footage), eggs him on, calling out, “It’s not that deep,” before adding, “It’s not that far, you can swim.” Next, we see Czarnomski carefully lowering himself down the harbor wall to dip a foot … [Read more...] about Watch this man jump into ice-cold water to rescue his iPhone
