Fighting games are constantly evolving in the name of balance. One character might be too powerful while others aren’t powerful enough.

A tweet from Ellen DeGeneres during the Oscars on Sunday night – a photo of her with eleven other celebrities from the audience (taken by Bradley Cooper) has set a new record for retweets.
It even crashed Twitter at one point (though those familiar with the “Fail Whale” know that’s not quite as big of an accomplishment).

John Travolta, 60, was one of the many presenters during the 86th Annual Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theatre on March 2. His sole task was to introduce Idina Menzel, the star of the animated film Frozen.

A historic pier at Gaviota State Beach in Santa Barbara, Calif., collapsed Saturday morning due to damaging waves.
Gaviota Beach is popular for camping, hiking, and surfing. However, one feature that attracts visiting tourists and local residents is the windy Gaviota Pier.

Jimmy Fallon and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel took the Polar Plunge into Lake Michigan on Sunday morning. Fallon promised the mayor if he appeared on his show in New York City that he would come to Chicago to take the big cold plunge.
