Pokemon Home is now Available for iOS, Android and Switch

Pokemon Home, previously announced for a February 2020 release, has been launched on time. This cloud based subscription service mainly allows you to transfer Pokemon from older games into the newest titles, Sword and Shield. While it had been announced that it would be released in February of this year, no specific release date had been confirmed, so it’s a bit of a surprise to get our hands on it so suddenly.

Similar to the Pokemon Bank service, Home allows you to store Pokemon that you’ve caught from various games, much like the storage system that is actually in the games. Two versions of Home exist, with the mobile version for iOS and Android having some nifty features like trading available, but they are a companion app to the main instance of Home for the Switch itself.

Health Concerns Lead Ozzy Osbourne to Cancel 2020 North America Tour

Leave a Comment / Entertainment News / Joe P.

The prince of darkness seems to be encountering some dark times of his own it seems. According to the popular music site Loudwire, singer and artist Ozzy Osbourne has officially had to cancel his 2020 North America tour due to health concerns which were getting out of hand over the past year specifically. “I’m so thankful that everyone has been patient because I’ve had a [censored] year,” Osbourne stated, continuing that “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get to Switzerland for treatment until April and the treatment takes six-eight weeks. I don’t want to start a tour and then cancel shows at the last minute, as it’s just not fair to the fans. I’d rather they get a refund now and when I do the North American tour down the road, everyone who bought a ticket for these shows will be the first ones in line to purchase tickets at that time.”

Leave a Comment / Entertainment News / Mark P.

Whether you were a long term, die-hard fan of the books or you were a convert to the popular cult classic video game series, it’s hard to find someone who isn’t absolutely obsessed with the Netflix original series starring Henry Calvill, The Witcher. A recent Business Insider article reports that despite a declining U.S. audience (the series streamed in full back a few months back), it is still “the most in-demand TV series across all platforms globally, according to data firm Parrot Analytics.” Reporter Travis Clark writes that The Witcher, as well as the Disney+ original series The Mandalorian, “have been locked in a battle for audience demand since the former premiered in December (the latter debuted in November), and it’s a preview of what’s to come in the streaming wars. Both shows exhibit qualities that make a streaming series a hit… including sci-fi and fantasy themes inspired by popular source material.”

Think of this scenario- you go on your Facebook account to scroll through your friend’s posts and maybe a thousand cat videos, then you decide to upload a photo of you and your crew from last night’s party. You upload the photo, then suddenly Facebook automation pops up with suggestions on who to tag, specifically those who appear in the photo with you. Sounds easy right? Sounds familiar, right? Well because of this tagging ability, a whole privacy issue has spun into legal warfare between big tech and the law once again.

Japanese Businessman Ends Search for Love in Space

Leave a Comment / Funny, Strange & Odd News / Mark P.

Finding love can be a difficult challenge we all face at some point but finding that one true love willing to go where no lover has been before is something one man has discovered might be a lightyear too far from becoming a reality. Think I’m joking? Well, for billionaire tech fashion Yusako Maezawa, he’s learned this hard truth about finding someone to keep warm in the cold depths of space the hard way. According to BBC, this wasn’t for a lack of trying on Maezawa’s part. “Fashion mogul Yusaku Maezawa invited single women over the age of 20 to apply for a ‘match-making event’. Almost 28,000 applied, but on Thursday he said he was experiencing ‘mixed feelings’ and pulled out of the search.” Ouch, 28,000 applicants and Maezawa still couldn’t find that elusive “one.”

What is the future of the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich?

Leave a Comment / Funny, Strange & Odd News / Mark P.

The chicken sensation that impacted communities across the nation, the Popeyes chicken sandwich is bringing with it a future full of excitement, as well as some unforeseen problems. New York Post reporter Michael Hollan recently published an article warning lovers of the exclusive and elusive chicken sandwich that the unexpected popularity of the meal may have recently caused a minor, however highly surprising, shortage of smaller chickens that were the primary source of meat for the meal. Hollan reported after picking up the initial story from Bloomberg News that “the shortage of these smaller chickens played a role in Popeyes struggles to keep their sandwiches in stock.”

Sonic the Hedgehog will have a Big Year in 2020

Leave a Comment / Gaming News / Timothy H.

While Sonic and Sega as a whole have always trailed a bit behind their ever-popular Nintendo rivals, that doesn’t mean they don’t plan to take advantage of the coming year. Sega has announced the Sonic 2020 Project, which will have the company announcing Sonic related news on the 20th of every month this year. Of course, the announcement for January was actually the announcement that this project was going to happen, so it’s a bit of a cheap move on that front.

Horizon Zero Dawn Could Come To PC Later This Year

Horizon Zero Dawn Could Come To PC This Year

Leave a Comment / Gaming News / Chris S.

Horizon Zero Dawn is probably one of the most well received games to come out in the past few years. Its open-world concept and unique environment and lore enthralled thousands of players across the globe; but not PC players, who just had to suffer and deal with the lack of the game on their platform. Before anyone gets their hopes up, a PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn is still officially unconfirmed. Technically no one responsible for a theoretical PC port has said that there will be one. However, there are many reasons to believe that such a port will come our way sometime this year. The reason this is believed is mostly due to a report from Kotaku citing three major sources that are apparently privy to Sony’s plans for the open world game from Guerilla.
