We can’t even get into topics without gushing over the newest trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story

Wow, this movie keeps getting better and better the more I see. I started out thinking… WHY Solo?! There could have been better less risky characters to build a movie around, but now this this is looking to be one of the BEST Star Wars movies.

 

Have you seen trailer from HBO for: Fahrenheit 451 (2018) Official Trailer ft. Michael B. Jordan & Michael Shannon? Also starring your girl from Atomic Blonde Sofia Boutella

 

There seem to be a million and one conventions, expositions, conferences, and shows throughout the year. Here is one that we just discovered (not that it is small or obscure, it seems HUGE) it is the NAB Show happening now (April 7th -12th) in Vegas

Who the heck is NAB? https://www.nab.org/about/

 

One of the things on the floor if you are there now or will see reported on soon after is that Skype is finally getting a call recording feature, only 15 years after it was first released. users will be able to record calls if they switch their desktop Skype client over to “Content Creators” mode, a new version designed for vloggers, streamers, and podcast creators. Users can pick which third-party software they prefer to use and Skype now supports the integration.

Where is Pamela? (LOL) - List of 3rd Party software

 

Tweaking the game Call Of Duty: WW2's Divisions Are Being Overhauled Sledgehammer games is changing Divisions (let the freak-out begin?)

The War Machine comes out today! (The War Machine  DLC pack will release for PS4 about a month before it arrives on Xbox One and PC. - BOOOO!!!)

Dunkirk, V2, Egypt, War: Operation Husky, I didn't see a map name but if you like to fly they show a dog fight mode and of course - more Nazi Zombies with Zombies: The Shadowed Throne

 

If you have kids that game or you want to yourself be that kid again the 'Spyro Reignited Trilogy' was announced and will be out September 21st

 

NEW WAVE OF ORIGINAL XBOX BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE GAMES

 

On the ‘Next OFR’ - Episode 400 we are going to have some guests that are new to creating a podcast and we would like to elicit the podcasting community’s advice:

Far Cry 5 so much awesomeness

Things we saw: Wolverine tried to eat my junk, love the open world but still keeps you in the story, beautiful textures, great voice acting, fun, fun and more fun.  

Far Cry 5 impresses on all consoles - but it's extra special on Xbox One X

The MUSIC!! - love the radio songs, the map theme music, even the Eden’s Gate religious channel too

Microsoft is ready for a world beyond Windows Windows isn’t dead, but it’s clearly not as important to Microsoft anymore and it will play a very different role in the company’s future…...   Consumers are no longer interested in purchasing devices for the familiarity or compatibility of Windows, and it’s hard to even list 10 desktop apps I really need on a daily basis. A big exception to this is gaming, but Microsoft hasn’t innovated enough on gaming PCs to really foster that. Gaming PCs simply run Windows because it’s the platform to deliver those games….     Q: is Windows still relevant? Will it be around in 5 years?

A petition Slasher can get behind asking Microsoft to add support for the Dolby Vision and HDR10+ high dynamic range formats to the Xbox One X

Why do we not have the HoloLens  yet?

Big news about original xbox backwards compatibility ? “On the next OFR” you’ll find out.

Ban that Bit!! Plattsburgh, New York, has become the first city in the US to ban cryptocurrency mining in the city for the next 18 months. Coinmint operates the biggest Bitcoin mining operation in Plattsburgh, and it used about 10 percent of the city’s total power budget in January and February.
