The Fortnite 2019 World Cup, which will take place late next year, is open to all Fortnite players.

“Grab your gear, drop in and start training.”

That’s how Epic Games announced the first year competitions on their blog post last month. And that’s what every gamer will be doing to prepare for the upcoming Fortnight World Cup.

At the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am during this year’s E3, the game developer revealed more details about the upcoming major event. It has formally given the e-sport event a name: Fortnite 2019 World Cup.

Qualifiers will start in the fall of this year and will take place across the world. The $100,000,000 will be split between many events at different levels of competitions. All 125 million players of the game are qualified to join and win in the different events.

The World Cup will culminate in the first Fortnite World Cup in late 2019.

According to Epic Games, the World Cup itself will focus on Solos and Duos. However, they also promise plenty of opportunities to squad-up in competition as well.

Community and E-sports Operations Manager at Epic Games K.L. Smith says the money will not only for competitive play. Epic will also be “supporting community run events, online events, and major competitions all over the world.”

Additionally, Epic insists that qualifications for the Fortnite World Cup will be based on merit. It will not be selling franchises or teams and won’t be allowing third-parties to do so.

Watch Netflix and YouTube On Your Nintendo Switch

Playing games might not be the only thing you’ll be doing in your Nintendo Switch soon.

This secret but not-so-secret news came as a surprise since there was no mention of it at the E3. But it seems like the Nintendo Switch may soon have support for Netflix and Youtube.

While the Switch comes with WiFi capabilities and a web browser, it doesn’t support streaming applications. Hulu is the only streamer available in the console and has been since last year. However, this is only available for users in the US and Japan.

But that might soon change. Spotted by Reddit user DevCakes, new Switch listings for Netflix, YouTube and Hulu, have appeared on Best Buy’s website. The information has since been removed but not before a screenshot was done.

Under the heading “Smart Enabled”, BestBuy promises access to “a world of instant entertainment” with Nintendo Switch.

“Just connect to the Internet and stream movies, listen to music, and access a wide variety of other content.”

Below the description were the three logos of Netflix, Hulu and Youtube as examples.

BestBuy has since responded to the leak saying that it was an error. Do you believe them?

Facebook wants to challenge Twitch with its newly-launched gaming creator pilot program called fb.gg.

Back in January, Facebook announced an exclusive game streaming deal with ESL, one of the world’s biggest esports leagues. Now they’ve taken another step further by launching its own platform for streaming games.

Dubbed fb.gg, it acts as a home page for all the game streaming content found on Facebook. It will basically show live streams of popular games like Fortnite and PUBG among others. Users can also upload pre-recorded gaming videos.

It will also be the place to be at for Facebook’s “gaming creators”. These are gamers paid for by the social media giant to stream exclusively on the platform.

Facebook aims the gaming hub to be the one-stop place for gaming fans. Users will be able to discover gaming videos related to their favourite games or watch live streams from esports competitions.

Fb.gg’s homepage shows users the most popular ongoing live streams. A tab called ‘Live Now’ below it suggests other live streams that are also attracting high user engagements.

The social media giant eventually plans to roll out a host of additional features for its gaming hub. This includes a feed where relevant content can be displayed, and an Instant Games tab for mobile version.

Do you think Facebook will be able to compete with Twitch? Lets us know!

Apple Bans Cryptocurrency Mining on iPhone and iPad

Apple has introduced new section in the App Store Review Guidelines against cryptocurrency mining.

It does seem like 2018 is not a good year for cryptocurrencies in general. After Facebook, Google and Twitter shuns crypto ads, Apple has followed suit – sort of.

The Cupertino-based company just introduced a new section on cryptocurrency on its Apple Store Review Guidelines. The section – 3.1.5(b) – details guidelines that are to be applied to iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS app. So basically everything that’s Apple.

These new policies come at a time where scams related to cryptocurrency has become very widespread.

“Apps, including any third party advertisements displayed within them, may not run unrelated background processes such as cryptocurrency mining,” the guideline states.

“In addition, apps may not mine directly for cryptocurrencies, unless the mining is performed in the Cloud or otherwise off-device,” it stated.

Apps are allowed to facilitate virtual currency storage as long as they are offered by developers enrolled as an organisation. They are also allowed to facilitate “transactions or transmissions of cryptocurrency on an approved exchange”. However, these services must be offered by the exchange itself.

The new section also touched on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). According to the guideline, ICOs must come from “established banks, securities firms, futures commission merchants (‘FCM’), or other approved financial institutions”.

Lastly, crypto-related apps are not allowed to offer currency for completing tasks. This includes tasks like downloading other apps or posting to social networks.

IFTTT: Applets That Increase Security, Productivity and Fun

IFTTT, a free web-based service is an acronym for “If this, then that”. It is perfect for people like me who don’t know how to code but want a better integration between Internet-enabled apps and services running on a variety of gadgets. Some portals like Slack now play “nicely” with Google Drive but NOT everything runs as smoothly as this. For instance, we have both Dropbox and Google Drive for downloading photos yet because these two don’t communicate, what we download on one isn’t automatically uploaded on the other.

Applets bring your favorite services together to create new experiences. — IFTTT

Play

IFTTT is one of the popular productivity apps popular for Android devices – in fact, it already installed on mine. iOS version is also available. With the number of productivity apps easily downloaded for free, it is easy to get trigger happy and download more than what’s of practical use. Between business, personal, and social apps, it can be confusing and time-consuming. With IFTTT, simple tasks can be automated and since its launch in 2011, applets had been created to do just that.

In 2014, IFTTT was already valued at $170M and with over 600 apps that work with popular platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Gmail, Slack, Telegram, Facebook, Dropbox, Spotify, YouTube, Google Calendar, Evernote, Skype, Salesforce, MailChimp and more, on IoT devices (Alexa, FitBit, Android etc), a buy-out by Google, Amazon, or Apple may be in the offing soon. In fact, Microsoft has already developed “Flow” and it already has a major competitor, Zapier.

Play

Each applet has a trigger and a resulting action. For instance, if you like a photo on Instagram (trigger), this can immediately be sent to your Dropbox account. A few of the popular things it can do through its “trigger-and-action mechanism” are:

Automate web application tasks like posting the same content on various social media accounts.
Track mention of companies in RSS feeds.
Automate switching on the light with detection of motion.

Play

IFTTT enables you to have better control when using Alexa (Amazon) or Google Assistant while keeping you informed about news feeds and weather forecasts. You can be alerted on your chosen search words and even back up “files, contacts, photos”.

Among the many ready-to-use Applet collections on the IFTTT site are:

Applets for Google
Applets for iOS
Applets for Android
Applets for Voice Assistant
Applets for Photography
Microsoft Applets
Applets for IoT
Applets for Cars
Applets for News
Applets for Weather
Applets for the home (keeps you comfortable, safe, secure) and more.

However, the paradox of choice from such an extensive array is paralyzing so IFTTT has provided shortlisted Applets for:

Marketing
Small Business Owners
Shoppers
Educators and
Bookworms.

There are even Applets for Weddings and Music Lovers! With IFTTT, it’s different strokes for different folks – something ultra handy when you are dying for seamless integration between home and office. If you hate to drop the ball on anything (especially work-related tasks), IFTTT is a true GIFT. But beware since some users have found out that performance is less than ideal – it does crash on occasion. But for those who have made it work, it quickly becomes the indispensable interface between your apps and smart devices in your connected life.

Oppo Find X: What is It?

What Is Oppo Find X?

Oppo Find X, what is it? This is a new flagship smartphone from Oppo. It is due for global release in Paris on June 19. This is the first time, since 2014, that the company has launched a flagship device in its Find family.

Oppo And Its Flagship Phones

When the company sets its mind on making a flagship, results are usually very innovative. The Chinese brand takes credit for selfie beautification features back in 2012. But its crowning achievement is arguably the Find 7, which was released on May 2014.

Most of Oppo’s flagship phones back then had full HD screens, predictable camera features, and faster, but not quiet fast charging.

The Three Features In Oppo’s 2014 Release

The company decided to tackle three features in its 2014 release. They started with the use of the 1440p screen. Then there was the 50 MP photo mode on the old device, using software smarts to create a super high resolution shot from its 13 MP camera.

But its biggest achievement may be the inclusion of the VOOC charging in Find 7. Promising 75 percent capacity from just 30 minutes of charging the 3000mAh battery. It marked a solid improvement over Quick Charge 2.0.

The list of Oppo’s Find 7 features is, in fact, as applicable today as it was back then. If its camera will be upgraded and its internals beefed up, it will not be out of place for a 2018 flagship.

The Oppo Find X

This new flagship smartphone will feature a nearly bezel free display. It will have a 5x zoom camera, VOOC fast charging, and the best chipset Qualcomm has to offer, Snapdragon 845.

Its camera will consist of one regular and one telephoto camera. The company claims that the camera module is only 5.7mm thick. So the Find X will not have a big camera hunch at the back. The VOOC fast charging can top up a 2500 mAh battery in just 15 minutes.

June 19 is just a few days away. We will sure to encounter a lot more teasers of the Oppo Find X till then.

Square Enix has announced something big this month for its fans. When it took onstage at this month’s E3 event, it actually dropped an explosive news for all gamers. This as the company announced the return of Just Cause 4.

Just Cause 4 Has A New Tornado-filled Trailer

Square Enix said that Just Cause 4, the company’s explosive open-world action game is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC. This means to say that a gamer like you could play and feel the character of Rico Rodriguez.

Check the game’s trailer below:

Play

Unknown to many, Rodriguez is the action-hero in the 80’s which is an inspiring figure in the Just Cause games. The fictional hero character is up against The Black Hand which has been described as a powerful private army.

Square Enix’s Just Cause 4 is set in the fictional South American country called Solis. Avalanche Studios is the company that developed Just Cause 4, the same company that created the previous Just Cause game series.

Aside from the gigantic explosions and huge infrastructure, one thing that should excite the player is the game’s option for traversal. This means that playing the game allows you to use the much-heralded wingsuit.

Of course, this is on top of the game’s parachute, helicopters, fighter jets, tanks, boats, and cars —all available from the previous Just Cause game instalments. What you will also be seeing in the Just Cause 4 is the updated weather effects, among others.

Just Cause 4 is slated to release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One come December 4th, 2018. Are you excited about the upcoming game? Comments are highly welcome!
