How to honor a friend

Studio Monolith, working on Shadow of War, still mourns the executive producer and programmer Michael Forghi who died from cancer. But the studio knows how to honor his memory creating an unique character for the next DLC of the game. You can see Michael Ford as Forthog, the Orcslayer for the last addition to Shadow of War.
The DLC costs four pounds, and if you have it, you'll have the chance to see the Orcslayer when he kills your enemies with one stroke. However, this case is observed at absolutely random intervals. Some fans compare Forty's hero to the Fallout Mysterious Stranger.
The nature and purpose of the hero in Shadow of War are not accidental. In real life, Forming, who is married and father to three children, is also a music enthusiast who has composed and played in a gang from other developers in Monolith. The band's name was Orc Slayer. The Forthog killer of the orcs wields his deadly guitar-axe. Even the music in the YouTube trailer uses music written by Forge itself, with the publisher, Warner Bros. The game will donate every penny when you buy a copy of the new DLC to the Forgie family and subsidize it by December 31, 2019. You can order it in advance on Steam or Xbox One. On the PlayStation 4 it will be available when the game comes out this October.

Acer announces a new gaming PC with wheels
Acer announced a bunch of products at IFA lately, mainly computers. Almost all the new releases were to be expected, high-end gaming PC's with lots of fancy lights and futuristic graphics cards, along with some monitors. Most of these are kind of boring if you compare them to another new release named Predator Orion 9000, this PC has a pair of badass wheels! Acer says it's only for portability purposes. Many think it's a nice cool little addition to beast water-cooled gaming PC. If you go to many LAN parties and such, you may want to consider buying this PC. This piece of art is rocking Intel Core i9 Extreme Edition 18-core processor, up to two NVIDIA GTX 1080i graphics cards, and up to 128GB of quad-channel DDR4 memory. According to the company, the Predator Orion 9000 will be available sometime around this holiday with a price of around $2,000 to $3,000.

The New 400GB SanDisk Ultra microSD Card
Many cameras and smartphones use a microSD card for additional storage. While the capacity of memory devices such as the microSD have gone up over the past few years, reaching the 400GB point for a microSD was thought to have been possible in the distant future. However, the people over at SanDisk have just made that a reality and unveiled a microSD card that has a storage capacity of 400GB. To put things into perspective, many hard drives and SSD's are around the 500GB to 1GB range and in size, they are way bigger than a microSD card. With the ever expanding smartphone industry, more and more smartphones are able to capture high resolution photos and 4K videos, so having additional storage is a must. This new microSD will essentially solve the problem of running out of storage space. The card also supports a 100 mb read speed. The microSD card is set to be sold at around $250.

KFC in China tests letting people pay by smiling
Payment systems have been evolving for decades now. From cash payments to credit cards and finger print payments. Now there is a new candidate for a revolutionary payment system, Smile to Pay. Smile to Pay was introduced in 2015 by Jack Ma the founder of Alibaba in the beta phase. Now, this payment method is being tested at a KFC in Hangzhou, China. Ant Financial, which is the company responsible for this new technology, states that the identity of the person paying is checked by 1-2 seconds of facial scanning with a 3D camera and “a liveness detection algorithm.” The person paying is forced to enter his phone number as a way of preventing fraud. Jidong Chen, head of biometric identification technology at Ant Financial, states how they detect impersonations and photo manipulation “by merging software and hardware by linking sophisticated algorithms with the 3D camera. We can prevent biometric spoofing.” According to Ant Financial, the algorithm is able to detect if a real person is front of the camera, and not a photo or a video to abuse the payment system. There is a video showing the machine being tested by making a woman use it with different appearances, and the machine successfully detected her identity each time. This video can be found at the source link below. And who knows, maybe this will be the most widely-used payment method in the world soon.

Arsenal have rejected a £50m bid from Premier League rivals Manchester City for forward Alexis Sanchez.
Arsenal Football Club is a professional football club based in Highbury, London, England, that plays in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. The club has won an astounding 13 FC Cups to go along with their 2 league cups. Arsenal has always been a great team but have been in trouble as of recent. "The 28-year-old, who scored 24 Premier League goals last season, is out of contract next summer and wants to play for City manager Pep Guardiola," if Arsenal loses Alexis Sanchez to a different FC they will be losing a key asset for this season and cannot afford to let another player go. In recent events of so many players switching teams and signing contracts they need to hold on to as many players as possible so they don't run into the problem of players following other players to opposing teams. Other big name players like Neymar and a few others are trying to make decisions to join other teams and Arsenal certainly doesn't need Sanchez doing the same

YouTube creates a new design interface and a new logo.
In the new design YouTube decided to emphasize more on the content aspect, thus getting rid of YouTube sidebars, leading to a cleaner and smoother user experience with an eye-grabbing design interface. Most importantly, YouTube decided to add a new feature to the design, which is the dark theme made for low light situations, hence making the user more comfortable watching videos in the dark, which is one of the features that should’ve been included in YouTube since day one, a design feature that is simple yet extensively prominent. Moreover, on the phone rather than only horizontal viewing being available in the previous design, users are now able to upload and watch vertical videos. Finally, the most significant change to take place in the design is the YouTube logo, whereas YouTube decided to make the red play button in the logo much brighter, and moving it to the left-side, rather than keeping it below “tube”.

German Police Seize 5,000 XTC Pills In Shape Of Trump's Head
German police stopped a vehicle Saturday night, only to find a father and son inside allegedly hauling a heap of ecstasy. The roughly 5,000 pills packed in a handful of bags that were tucked into drums to disguise them as they entered a massive port in Dubai, only to be ferreted out by customs authorities. In all, the heap of pills shaped like Donald Trump's head had an estimated street value of nearly $46,000. With mouth open wide, impressive eyebrows holding back a swept tuft of mane, each of the thousands of orange pills bore the likeness of President Trump. The 51-year-old father and his 17-year-old son were taken into custody Saturday and brought before a judge Sunday.
