Healthcare study ranks US last in the developed world
In a study of 11 different healthcare models, researchers from a New York-based commonwealth fund ranked US last in the developed world, while ranking the likes of UK and Australia at first and second, respectively. This is followed by the Netherlands, Norway, and New Zealand. Comparing the likes of UK and Australia to the US, researchers have concluded that the US performs poorly on population health outcomes. Outcomes such as infant mortality, and life expectancy, are relatively low compared to other countries. In the past decade, out of all the countries, US had the least shrinkage of infant mortality rate. In other words, its infant mortality rate remained closer to its original rate a decade ago compared to other countries. An interesting thing to note is US spends more on healthcare than any other country, yet lacks behind other systems. If a country is able to fund healthcare nation wide, at that point, efficiency all depends on how the country administers its funds and services, regardless of how much capital is put into the healthcare system. In order to address the poor performance of healthcare in the country, President Donald Trump has put pressure on republican senators to repeal Obama's healthcare reforms. Over the weekend, Trump stated his reforms would work better than Obamacare. "Obamacare has wreaked havoc on American lives, and if we don't replace it the calamity will only get worse, and I mean get worse by a lot."

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus – German or Else!

I don't know about you, but I personally was undoubtedly captured by two announces on E3 2017: Metro Exodus and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. The wonderful approach of MachineGames and Bethesda to the idea of how the Nazis emerged winners from World War, represented by the reserved for the studio, brutal crap and a great deal of humor (see some of Jerk Jorgenson's interviews to find out how many crazy heads work at this game) inspires hope in the hearts of many gamers.
This week, the studio has released a new video to the game, in which we see what an American type TV quiz looks like, coupled with Nazi "awards." The video does not present much new material, but it still looks great.
It has recently become clear that Dark Horse will release several days before the premiere of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus specially illustrated book with conceptual drawings, various materials related to game production and developer commentary.
The game will be the second part of the planned trilogy for Nazi invasion and will offer new content, new brutal combat, new animations and unparalleled fun when it comes out on 27.10.

Retro Gaming Can Make You Money
Over time, many games (especially those stored on cassettes for old consoles) are getting older and some of them become collector trophies. For this reason, the price of specific titles also jumps drastically (in the order of 100 times). One of these "collectible" games this week was sold on eBay at a modest price of 3380 British pounds.
The Lakers vs. Celtics and the NBA Playoffs is a 26-year-old game for the Sega Mega Drive platform and quickly draws the attention of retro fans as it has not been published by the European company of the then young Electronic Arts. A rare copy of the game fell into the hands of former Relentless Software Director David Amore. Originally, he sold the game for 9,000 pounds, but after cleaning eBay from revalued products, the price fell to £ 2000 and eventually bidding for £ 3380. Amor claims he has received the money and will now send the Lakers against Celtics to its new owner in Europe.
The buyer gave a statement to Eurogamer that he was searching hard for this game because he wanted to fill the collection of PAL Mega Drive games (which in principle consists of about 550 titles). According to him, three thousand pounds are small compared to the prices for which other games are sold (compared to what Amor originally requested) and quickly will return his money with the sale of NES and SNES duplicates in excellent condition.

Oculus Rift Price Cut - Now $400
The Oculus Rift was one of the first VR headset that was sold to the general public. Initially, the Oculus Rift was the talk of the town but as the VR hype died down, so did the Oculus Rift. Slowly after that, other VR headsets such as the Playstation VR and the HTC Vive were introduced to the public. The Playstation VR offered the VR experience to home consoles while the HTC Vive was considered the top tier VR experience. At the time, the Oculus Rift was not cheap at all. In fact, the Oculus Rift was being sold for around $599 and additional controllers would cost $200. The HTC Vive on the other hand, was a bit more expensive but had better quality and reviews. The Oculus Rift was seen as the middle tier headset and due to this, sales weren't as high. People either wanted the best of the best or the budget friendly option. After Facebook bought out Oculus, they needed to innovate the headset and make it more appealing to the public. With this in mind, updates were made on the headset and the controllers. Now for the final push, the price of the Oculus Rift has been slashed down dramatically to make more appealing. Initially the price was cut down to $499 but a recent additional price cut has brought the headset down to $400.

Amazon is reportedly working on a messaging app called Anytime
According to AFTV News, Amazon is working on releasing a new messaging app called Anytime. It has been known that Amazon started surv.eying its customers about potential features even though the final form of the app isn’t clear yet. AFTV News describes Anytime to be “an all-in-one feature rich service that could even rival social networks,” with a focus on messaging, voice and video calls, and photo sharing with the ability to use filters with photos and videos, mention other users, use stickers and GIFs, and play games. Users are to be able to voice or video call other users or groups, communicate with businesses to order and reserve products and services. According to some images taken from the surv.ey, the service will be encrypted and would work on most desktop and mobile devices. This isn’t the first time for Amazon in the communication market as they announced Chime a few months ago, which is a video conferencing app for Amazon business users, similar to existing services such as Skype for Business.

Scum Fuck Flower Boy (Leaked) - Tyler, The Creator
This week Tyler, The Creator's upcoming album "Scum Fuck Flower Boy" was leaked. A lot of juicy lyrics on this one, with a few leading people to believe Tyler has come out of the closet and embraced gay sexuality. With lyrics like "This next line is gonna have em like woah/I been kissing white boys since 2004" and with one of his songs being entirely about coming out of the closet it's hard to tell whether this is some kind of elaborate troll or if he's being serious. Tyler has been known for a few years now to dabble into brightly colored clothing with rainbows and flowers which can often be used to represent gay pride. The song "Garden Shed" is entirely about Tyler being inside of a shed (the closet) and breaching the doors and coming out. A few tracks on the album have that good ol' Goblin Tyler The Creator feel to them and those are exceptionally good. As Tyler is one of my favorite artists I really enjoyed this album. The album is set to come out officially on July 21st.
I rate this album a 7 / 10. If it weren't for the very 2015 Tyler vibes I receive from this album it probably would have gotten a 10.

Chelsea interested in signing Sergio Aguero from Manchester City
Chelsea has "serious and strong interest" in signing Argentinian striker Sergio Aguero from Premier League rivals Manchester City. Chelsea recently missed out on re-signing Romelu Lukaku from Everton and they have now shifted their focus to Aguero as they look to find a new frontman this summer to replace Diego Costa. Chelsea have the funds to put in a tempting bid to City for Aguero and to offer the striker attractive terms, but it looks like City are adamant the 29-year-old is not for sale. Since they were bought by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, City have never sold a player against the club's wishes. Sergio Aguero is without a doubt one of the best strikers in the Premier League and Europe, he has scored 169 times for City in six years, winning two Premier League titles in 2012 and 2014.

Garry's Mod Hacks & Cheats
Garry’s mod is an old but classic game a lot of us love. Hexa, made by Bloom is a nifty hack for Garry’s mod. It’s full of different types of hacks. It has everything you could imagine and more. Don’t let its minimalistic design fool you to its complex ability to customise and configure your hacks. Something which is eye catching about Hexa, is its ability to save and load different configurations. You no longer have to waste time selecting the hacks you want enabled each time you start up Garry’s mod. Regardless of the feature, Hexa has many different types of mods to offer, including Legit bot, Rage bot, Visuals, Misc and settings. Garry’s mod is on steam, so be careful of vac bans. It’s something we all try to avoid but it could still get you. Every hack has a possibility for the vac system to detect hacks, so always be sure to check the thread for any updates and news.

CounterStrike: Global Offensive Hacks

This week we are featuring the CounterStrike: Global Offensive Hacks section, which is currently moderated by @[MPGH]Raple, @[MPGH]T-800 and @[MPGH]Travis Scott.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive... a game which is well known for the amount of hackers and the trash anti-cheat system... a game which has its own term "csgo'd".
If you're a person who likes playing with hackers or hacking, or being wrecked by the many bugs of the game, then I surely recommend you to spend $15 USD on this game and play it.
With the new major, Krakow PGL, it is definitely a good time to start playing and idle streams to hopefully get yourself a free souvenir package worth at least $3 USD.
Why should you buy this game? The skin market has been thriving and is a great way for anyone to make money from the profits made possible from new updates.
Obviously we will always have people in the community who aren't particularly good at the game. If that is you, no worries since you an easily get free hacks from the CS:GO section and take control of the matches you play. The hacks include ESP, bunny hops, aimbot, triggerbot, skin changer, glove changer, antiflash, and so much more!
I definitely recommend you to play this game.
