Turning nintendo switch off

By Marc Deschamps - December 15, 2019 03:52 pm EST Share 0 Comments 0 Fans that have been with the DOOM franchise from the very beginning know that the early games had one distinctive difference from other first-person shooters: weapon placement. While most FPS games have placed the gun to the right of the screen (though some games allow it to be flipped to the left for southpaws), the early games in the DOOM franchise kept the gun at center. Old-school fans will be happy to know that the upcoming DOOM Eternal will offer centered weapon placement as an option for old-school fans! The key word here is "option," so those who prefer the traditional FPS setup can rest easy. It's the best of both worlds! Centered weapon option in DOOM Eternal confirmed. pic.twitter.com/r4wM7y14Xo — DOOM (@DOOM) December 13, 2019 Developed by id Software, DOOM Eternal is the latest game in the popular franchise, and a sequel to 2016's well received DOOM reboot.

Snapchat has reportedly turned down an acquisition offer from social network king Facebook valued at $3 billion or more in cash. The reason for declining the offer is because the Venice, California-based startup is currently being courted by multiple investors according to sources familiar with the matter as reported by the Wall Street Journal. That’s no small chunk of change as it is three times what Facebook paid for Instagram but at the same time, Snapchat has emerged as one of the world’s most popular messaging apps over mobile. Facebook reportedly bid $1 billion for Snapchat previously, the publication notes. The service is especially popular among today’s youth that are growing tired of Facebook and those looking to distance themselves from it because their parents now hang out there. Snapchat hasn’t disclosed the exact size of its user base but at last check, the two-year-old service handles some 350 million messages each day. One estimate claims that … [Read more...] about Snapchat turns down $3 billion acquisition offer from Facebook, report claims

1. Tesla’s cybertruck will not ship This is an easy prediction to make, because even Tesla isn’t claiming that its eye-catching angular steel beast will be available for sale in 2020. The company’s own pitch is that production won’t even begin until 2021, with owners receiving their first shipments in 2022. But the gap is relevant to Tesla’s future: where the company was once genuinely ahead of the curve, in making beautiful electric cars that people wanted to buy, it has increasingly relied on beating its competitors to announcements, rather than actually shipping. The list of Elon Musk’s as-yet-unfulfilled promises grows every year – but the electric fleets of BMW, Ford, General Motors and others grow faster. 2.
