Sony Is Playing Nice, PlayStation Will Now Supports Cross-Play For Any Game That Uses It, Report

Source: CHARLY TRIBALLEAU / Getty Historically, Sony wasn’t initially on board with the idea of cross-play much to the dismay of gamers. When Microsoft and Nintendo came together to allow Fornite players to come together, everyone started looking at PlayStation wondering when they will join in. It seems like that time is now. PlayStation was reluctantly forced into cross-play after gamers made a big stink about not initially being allowed to play with Switch and Xbox One owners. Since then the idea of cross-play was, for the most part, in beta mode with its most significant test being during Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s recent beta. It would seem the folks at PlayStation were pleased with the results and have officially decided to play nice with Switch and Xbox One owners. Sony hasn’t confirmed the news themselves, but in a post from Wired , they elude that Modern Warfare is Sony’s first official foray into the world of cross-play. When it officially launches later this month, the re-imagined version of the iconic first-person shooter will take the feature out its beta mode. So fans, of games like Rocket League and as mentioned above Fortnite who loathed the idea of having to ditch their PS4 console’s to play with friends will no longer have to. Tha’s not the only big news revolving around PlayStation. Sony also announced a significate price cut to it’s PlayStation Now subscription service. The monthly service dropped from $20 to $10 with the annual falling from $100 to $60. The lineup was also bolstered with the addition fo PlayStation exclusives God of War ,  Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End ,  Infamous: Second Son , plus Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V . It would seem like Sony is looking to close out the year strong with the PlayStation 4 and at the same time grown its PlayStation Now service which has 700,000 subscribers at this moment.

Kim Kardashian & Kendall Jenner: Um, No One Told Us Our Emmys Speech Was A Joke!

If you watched the Emmys last night or heard about it, at least, then you’re up-to-date on Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner’s completely awkward and uncomfortable award presentation.  And how the entire audience started laughing at them , quite ruthlessly.  Well, we now have their side of the story, and it’s only furthering the awkwardness, people. Brace yourselves.  While the sisters were there to give out the award for Best Reality TV Show Competition, they ran into a little hiccup… but in their defense, it may not have been  entirely  their fault.  When Kim read “Our family knows firsthand how truly compelling television comes from real people just being themselves,” to the audience at the Microsoft Theatre, she didn’t quite catch the humor behind her words. smh…  The audience assumed that Kim was making a joke (lol, a really good joke)  so, they proceeded to laugh, however, unaware and pissed-off looking Kim put herself in the position of getting laughed at , instead of  with .    Things only worsened when Kendall made the same mistake as big sis Kim and tried to claim that their show is “unfiltered and unscripted.” But according to Us Weekly , a source shared that Kardashian, 38, and Jenner, 23, “were not briefed” about their teleprompter bits being “a joke.” The insider added that “it was definitely a bit awkward.” Emmys LOL: Watch Kim and Kendall Get Laughed at on Stage! Ok, If you were sitting there watching it like me, you know it was more than just a “bit” awkward.  And that the moment called for at least 3 or 4 rewinds. But basically, the girls just missed the memo and didn’t realize that those lines were supposed to be read as jokes. We don’t know if it’s more embarrassing that they didn’t pick up on their own joke, or that they actually may have believed what they were reading?  Either way, you gotta admit that this family never fails to entertain , am I right? Apparently, Kim and Kendall weren’t too worried about their unsuccessful moment, and they didn’t take it personally. They “were good sports about it,” another source told Us . “The line was supposed to be funny. They weren’t bothered by people laughing.” Besides, the sister duo arrived in style and their stunning looks are what stole the night anyway.  The KKW Beauty owner wore a skintight black velvet gown by Vivienne Westwood, which she accessorized with some chunky necklaces, including a cross necklace. Meanwhile, the Victoria’s Secret model killed it in a pink floral Richard Quinn gown, which she paired with a latex Vex turtleneck.  Kylie Jenner was also set to walk the red carpet and present the award beside her sisters that night, but luckily however, she was too sick to make it.  “She has been sick for days,” a source told the outlet, so Kylie decided to skip out on the event.  After the incident, many fans took to social media to defend the E! TV stars. One fan made a pretty good point, tweeting, #Emmys @KimKardashian @KendallJenner The fact that they will turn your laughs into millions of cash is funnier.” “You look so stunning Kim and Kendall. Highest paid model and highest paid reality star.” Hm… Mic drop?  View Slideshow: Kendall Jenner Dubbed “Fashion Icon of the Decade,” Twitter Loses Its Mind

Gang Leader Found Dead In Cell After Failed Attempt To Escape Dressed As His Daughter

Source: Aitor Diago / Getty The Brazilian gang leader and drug trafficker named Clauvino da Silva (also known as “Shorty) horribly attempted to escape his 73-year prison sentence dressed as his 19-year-old daughter. Now I know you’re wondering; how did he get a rubber mask, glasses, a wig, a black bra, and clothes? Ana Gabriele Silva his 19-year old daughter gave it to him. Next, you’re wondering; where was his daughter while he tried to escape? She was in Gericinó Prison Complex in Rio de Janeiro, hoping her father dressed like an odd little buff girl could make the great escape. Then you wonder; would my child do this for me? Unfortunately, da Silva wasn’t the Master Of Disguise and the police asked “Shorty” to remove everything. According to the Rio Times, Tuesday Clauvino da Silva was transferred to maximum security. “Three days after his failed escape, da Silva, a senior member of Comando Vermelho (Red Command), one of Brazil’s main crime groups, was found dead in his cell in a maximum-security prison. Officials said he appeared to have hanged himself with a bedsheet. An investigation has been launched into his death.” Trending : Black Journalists’ Convention Increases Security After Racially Motivated Mass Shootings Take The Kids To Family Movie Night In Wake Forest!

Samsung Unpacks The Beautiful Galaxy Note 10 & Note 10 Plus In Brooklyn

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Galaxy Note fans rejoice, the wait for the next iteration in Samsung’s stylist based flagship model is here. Yesterday (August 7) in Brooklyn, the South Korean tech giant led by its CEO DJ Koh unpacked the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus. Galaxy Note 10 vs. Galaxy Note 10 Plus Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The first thing you will notice about the new Note 10 and Note 10 Plus is how beautiful of a device it is and of course, the size of it. Coming in 6.3 inches is the Galaxy Note 10, while the luxurious Note 10 Plus is a 6.8-inch marvel. In hand, I was impressed at how light both devices were despite the plus version being slightly heavier. They didn’t feel ridiculous while I played around with the phones for a bit. Like the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus both variations of the Note 10   Dynamic AMOLED  With HDR10+ certification and Dynamic Tone Mapping giving users a complete edge to edge experience with no distractions. Improving on the S10 design where they placed the hole-punched front-facing camera on the right of the screen, it is now a single camera located in the middle of the  Note 10’s screen. Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Gone on both models is the headphone jack, unfortunately. Samsung claims it made the decisions to part with it to free up space phone for more battery capacity. So you will be forced to either go wireless or use the USB-C headphones that come with the phone. You can also use a dongle adaptor, Samsung does not supply you with one sadly. While on the subject of the battery, the Note 10 packs a 3,5000 mAh versus the Note 10 Plus 4,300 mAh. Both models do feature wireless charging, and 30-minute quick charging using a 45-watt wired charger that Samsung boasts will last the entire day. The button configuration on the phone has also changed. The Bixby button has been removed. It is now replaced with the power/lock button on the left side of the phone directly underneath the volume controls. If you want to trigger Bixby, just press and hold down the button, to open the camera, press the button twice. As far as storage, the Note 10 comes with 256GB while the Note 10 Plus comes with either 256 or 512GB. The MicroSD card slot is not on the Note 10 but is present on the Note 10 Plus. The lite version of the Note 10 packs 8GB of RAM versus 12GB for the Plus. The phones come in an array of different colors which Samsung labels with “Aura” due to the fantastic shine each color gives off. The one model that caught everyone one’s eye, including mine, was the “Aura Glow” finish, which was absolutely stunning in person. Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Both the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus utilize the same in-screen fingerprint reader used in the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus. While there are a good number of differences, both models are still relatively the same with a slight edge going to the Note 10 Plus understandably. Pro-Grade Camera System Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The Pro-Grade camera system introduced with Galax S10 and S10 Plus gets a boost. Users will still be able to seamlessly switch among the different lens located on the rear. Instead of them being positioned horizontally like on the Galaxy S10, the cameras are now vertical. As mentioned about there is only one front-facing camera now. Samsung notes that better software for taking portrait selfies and now “Night Mode” allowed for the removal of the second camera. 12-megapixel dual-aperture lens 16-megapixel wide-angle lens 12-megapixel telephoto lens 10-megapixel front-facing camera Where the two models differ is the Note 10 Plus’ inclusion of a fourth 3D depth-sensing camera on the back. It will allow users to take portrait video (Live Focus Video), allowing blur effects, so the subject is the main focus. Note 10 Plus owners will also be able to draw on top of their photos and videos using the S Pen now with a new feature called  AR Doodle. It was a hit among everyone at the event. If you shoot a video of someone while using AR Doodle, the camera will track their movements so everything you drew on them will follow them. Another cool feature AR Doodle will allow is the ability to save the file you created as either a JPEG or movie file. Once saved, you will be able to share it on any platform and not with just Note 10 users, unlike Apple’s Live Photo feature. Samsung also showed off the 3D depth-sensing camera’s ability to scan objects and turn them into a moveable 3D render. During the presentation, we got to see “DepthVision” in action using a teddy bear, I also someone do a person, and both were very accurate. 3D scanning on the #GalaxyNote10 #SamsungEvent pic.twitter.com/5S7xaToFRs — B E A N Z | Hot Boy Summer Loading… (@PhotosByBeanz) August 7, 2019 Last but certainly not least, Samsung introduced to Zoom-In-Mic video recording. While filming, users will be able to push background noise aside to focus on the sounds they want. Plus a new and improved version of “Super Steady” helps to film action sequences while removing bumps and shakes. The S Pen Gets Upgraded Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz There is still a country for people who love to work with stylists. Samsung has brought back the S-Pen with some upgrades. Last year’s version of the peripheral introduced Bluetooth capability allowing Note 9 owners to do things like snap a picture by just using the S Pen remotely. The Note 10’s S Pen gets an upgrade. You will now be able to operate the phone and certain features using gestures or as Samsung describes it Air actions. By holding down the button and flicking your hand left, right, up and, down, you will be able to switch cameras, change songs on Spotify or even sitch slides during a PowerPoint presentation. There are more advanced gestures, for example, if you make a circular motion, you can zoom in or out while using the camera. While trying it out, it didn’t work perfectly, but after a few tries, I was able to get some of the gestures to work. Nothing some practice won’t fix, but I don’t think its something most Note users will be using all of the time. Gaming Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz While I am not the biggest fan of mobile gaming, I left the Barclay’s Arena very impressed with the Note 10’s ability to run big games. I got to try out the forthcoming Call of Duty mobile game which Samsung is partnering with. I was absolutely blown away with how great the game looked on the phone and how smoothly it ran. The controls were easy to figure it out, but if you’re not a fan of using the on-screen configuration, you can connect and controller using Bluetooth. The product expert on hand also explained that the game will automatically match you with other players using controllers. So you won’t have an advantage over others who instead use the on-screen controls. If you’re worried about your Note 10 or Note 10 Plus getting hot while the game is running there is a solution for that. Thanks to the”world’s slimmest” vapor chamber cooling system which will help deliver optimal performance during gameplay while keeping the phone cool. Depending on what game you are playing, the AI-based Game Booster will optimize the performance and power consumption of the Note 10 without sacrificing performance quality. Gamers will also be able to screen record as well, so Samsung definitely had Twitcher and Mixers in mind. Link To Windows Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Microsoft’s CEO Satya Narayana Nadella was on hand to talk about Samsung’s partnership with his company. With Link to Windows (yes some people still use it) you will be able to sync your Note 10 straight to your Windows 10 desktop. Once connected via the cable that comes with the phone, you will be able to view your messages, notifications, photos, and even mirror your screen. Pricing Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus are available for pre-order right now. The 6.3-inch Note 10 starts at $949 while the Note 10 Plus will cost $1,099. The Verizon timed exclusive 5G version of the Note 10 Plus will run you $1,299. The Note 10 comes in three colors Aura White, Aura Black and Aura Glow. The Note 10 Plus comes in an extra Aura Blue color that is only available in the US through Samsung or Best Buy.   I was thoroughly impressed, but I’m looking forward to getting more time with the Note 10 for further review. — Photo: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz

For The Children: Quavo Is Making An Animated Kids’ Series Inspired By Atlanta Hip-Hop

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Quavo Is Developing An Animated Series About Hip-Hop Quavo , along with Imagine Entertainment co-founder Brian Grazer, are crafting what they call a “transformative franchise” in the animation space. “I have long seen how hip-hop as well as our music ( Migos ) really impacts kids,” Quavo said in a press release on Thursday announcing the new animated franchise series. “I’ve loved animation my whole life whether on TV or in movies and I wanted my first jump into this premium content world to be a show just for kids. It will definitely reflect the creativity, love, and families in and around the NAWF side of Atlanta where we grew up.” The series, which will be aimed at kids ages 8-12, will draw inspiration from the hip-hop scene in Atlanta. It also marks a partnership between Imagine’s Marginal Mediaworks, Imagine Kids+Family, Quality Control Music, and Motown . Quality Control’s Pierre “Pee” Thomas and Kevin “Coach K” Lee will produce the series alongside Dan Altmann and Capitol Music Group’s Brian Nolan and Ryan Allingham. Quavo holds an executive producer title alongside with Grazer, whose long list of accomplishments includes work on Arrested Development , 8 Mile, American Gangster, Empire , and more, earning him four Oscar nominations along the way. When speaking on Quality Control’s expansion into the realms of TV and film, Coach K said that the most important and inspiring aspect of this partnership is the fact that “all kids will be seeing themselves” in the series. “When I was growing up there was very little media that had brown and black skinned kids feeling heard or seen and the ones that did stood out and served as a crucial roadmap through our childhoods,” he said. “I’m about inclusive stories that address all kinds of situations that kids of ALL ethnic and financial backgrounds experience and to give them a common tool to learn and grow.” The series is expected to launch alongside new merchandise and original music from Quality Control, but there’s no official release date as of now.

In case you missed it, his baby girl Emani Asghedom graduated from elementary school over the weekend and one clip shows the 10-year-old thanking her late, legendary father. “I want to begin by sharing my thankfulness for my mom, the community, and my dad for always believing in me,” she said in this sweet clip, posted alongside some photos of the special occasion. Emani wasn’t the only one remembering Nipsey this weekend. The BET Awards went down at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and DJ Khaled, John Legend, Marsha Ambrosius, and YG’s tribute to the deceased rapper was absolutely beautiful. Nipsey’s family, Emani included, was also in the building to accept a much-deserved Humanitarian Award on his behalf… May the late King rest in peace.

Wait What?: PlayStation Will Not Be Showing Anything At E3 2019

Source: FREDERIC J. BROWN / Getty It officially has been five years since Sony blessed us with the PlayStation 4 console. On top of celebrating the PS4, the company dropped the bombshell that it would not have a presence at E3 2019. Wait a minute here. A Sony rep confirmed the surprising news to Polygon  explaining that the company is looking for ways to “innovate, think differently and experiment with new ways to delight gamers.” Per Polygon: “As the industry evolves, Sony Interactive Entertainment continues to look for inventive opportunities to engage the community “PlayStation fans mean the world to us, and we always want to innovate, think differently and experiment with new ways to delight gamers. As a result, we have decided not to participate in E3 in 2019. We are exploring new and familiar ways to engage our community in 2019 and can’t wait to share our plans with you.” Sony and PlayStation’s absence will be the first time in the convention’s 24-year history. Sony wowed gamers back in May 1995 at the first ever E3 Conference when it announced the U.S. launch date and price for the first PlayStation console . Despite Sony’s surprising absence, Microsoft, Nintendo as well as publishers like Activision, Ubisoft, Take-Two and more are already committed to E3 2019. As you can imagine the speculation as to why Sony decided not to attend has gamers believing that the company will be holding its own conference and will possibly be dropping a major bomb in the form of the PS5. In case you missed the screaming/hypothesizing on Kinda Funny Games Daily, PlayStation skipping #E32019 has blown my mind. It's bold, confident, and crazy. I think it means they're going to do their own event after E3 and come with megaton after megaton culminating in PS5. pic.twitter.com/OqQQJ7PQSB — Greg Miller (@GameOverGreggy) November 15, 2018 We also believe that as well, but E3 will be a little dry without PlayStation. For the past couple of years, they have been bringing the excitement each year, so Sony’s absence is a gut punch for those looking forward to E3 2019. This is the second event PlayStation has canceled. The annual PlayStation Experience event the company holds at the beginning of December has been put on ice as well. This story is still developing. — Photo: FREDERIC J. BROWN / Getty
