Earlier this week, developer Id Software announced a pair of updates for the recently released Doom. The first, which is available now, is a free download that introduces two new multiplayer modes and several new customizations for the SnapMap mode, where players can create their own maps and game types. The second update, “Unto the Evil,” however, is the first … Continue reading

Philadelphia is not only where the Democratic National Convention took place earlier this week, it’s also the home of movie icon Rocky Balboa.
Turns out, The Daily Show staff sees parallels between Hillary Clinton and the first four “Rocky” films.
They just can’t stop fighting over which film fits best.
Jordan Klepper feels the first “Rocky” film is the best comparison to Clinton’s campaign.
“Hillary and Rocky are both lefty scrappers who get no respect,” Klepper said on a special Friday broadcast. “They both have an old guy who used to criticize them, but is now right in their corner.”
Klepper added: “Right now, Hillary’s going to train hard, earn our support and prove she’s who can go to the distance.”
“Daily Show” host Trevor Noah felt compelled to point out that Rocky loses the fight in the first movie.
“Does he?” Klepper replied. “I never get past the training montage.”
Hassan Minhaj had a different take.
“Hillary Clinton is ‘Rocky II. She lost to the black guy the first time and now she’s ready for her second shot at the title,” he said.
Adam Lowitt disagreed, saying the Clinton campaign is best compared to “Rocky III.”
“Hillary is rich and overconfident and she’s going to lose in an upset to an angry bully with weird hair who everyone calls Mr. T.”
The correspondents finally decided that “Rocky IV” was the most appropriate film for this year’s presidential race.
As Minhaj described it: “Donald Trump is a monster backed by Russia who is embarrasing the America in front of the entire world.”

Donald Trump must be defeated at all costs this November, says Bernie Sanders.
The Independent Senator from Vermont described the reality TV personality as being the “most dangerous presidential candidate in the modern history of this country.”
“I say that, not just because of his absurd views on so many issues,” Sanders told Bill Maher’s “Real Time” show Friday, recalling how Trump is a climate change denier who plans to give tax breaks to the top one percent.
“This guy is running his entire campaign based on bigotry,” Sanders added. “Based on trying to divide us up, based on trying to insult Mexicans, Latinos and Muslims and women and African-Americans.”
After reminding the audience that Trump was a leader of the Birther movement, “which tried to delegitimize the first African-American president we have ever had,” Sanders said “this is a guy who must be defeated.”
Over the issue of whether he’d be able to work with Hillary Clinton, who beat him in the race to become the Democratic party’s presidential nominee, Sanders admitted it was “no secret” they’d had disagreements.
“But what I intend to do, the day after Hillary Clinton is elected President of the United States, is to do everything I can to make sure she goes forward are progressively as she can,” he added.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.

Bill Maher wants Hillary Clinton to become more like the “super villain” that the GOP says she is.
The “Real Time with Bill Maher” host said Friday that the Democratic presidential nominee should take advantage of the Republican party’s “evil cartoon” portrayal of her.
“Since half the country will believe an evil cartoon version of Hillary Clinton, no matter what she says or does, she has to embrace it,” the comedian said.
Maher claimed that “sweet grandma Hillary” would have “done fine in 2008.”
But in 2016, and with the rise of reality TV personality Donald Trump to become the GOP’s presidential candidate, he said “the voters are not in the mood for steady as she goes.”
“They are pitch fork angry and they don’t want America’s nicest grandma,” said Maher. “They want the wolf with bits of grandma in its teeth.”
Maher went on to claim that people were now more likely to vote for “a ruthless mafia boss who will protect their frightened souls” — which was exactly why Clinton had to “own” the insults “and run as the Notorious H.R.C.”

It’s the song of the 2016 presidential election, so far.
Forget all about the USA Freedom Kids, because The Gregory Brothers have taken it to the next level.
The creative geniuses behind “Songify the News” auto-tuned Hillary Clinton’s Democratic National Convention speech for the ridiculously catchy ditty that’s now going viral online.
”Me and Bernie, Bernie and me,” the Democratic presidential nominee appears to sing as she’s joined in the hilarious clip by her daughter Chelsea, President Barack Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Bill Clinton also makes a show-stopping appearance with an intense saxophone solo.
“On a truly historic night, Hillary Clinton becomes the first woman nominated for president by a major party to drop a fiery diss track ,” The Gregory Brothers wrote on their “schmoyoho” YouTube channel on Friday. The video garnered more than 100,000 views in the first 12 hours.

It’s track time and Pikes Peak Hill Climb is no ordinary race track. Taking a corner too wide pretty much anywhere within the 14,114 climb along what’s a 12.42 mile course packed with 156 twists and turns has consequences beyond a couple of dents. Luckily, Porsche’s confidence in the new 2017 Macan GTS is off the chart. This is a … Continue reading

One of the key features that SwiftKey has going for it would be its text prediction, which for the most part does a pretty decent job. However it seems that recently some users have discovered that SwiftKey has been offering text predictions that are completely unrelated to them, and are actually the predictions belonging to other users.
According to the reports, some users have discovered that when they surfed to websites with login pages that they were offered email addresses that weren’t familiar to them. Some users even reported that they have received calls from complete strangers who found their number through SwiftKey’s predictive text.
As it turns out, this was a bug and an issue with SwiftKey’s sync services. In a post by SwiftKey on their blog, the company acknowledged the issue and stated that for now, they have disabled cloud sync service and have removed email predictions, at least until the issue can be sorted out. It also means that your SwiftKey language model cannot be backed up for now.
However thankfully it seems that this isn’t as widespread an issue as we had feared. SwiftKey claims that only a small number of users are affected by this, but they have encouraged users who are facing these issues to get in contact with the developers.

If you use Instagram, chances are you might have stumbled across photos with troll-ish, rude, and inappropriate comments. Unfortunately this is the reality of the internet and social media where people think that it’s OK to say anything to anyone, but the good news for Instagrammers is that the company will soon give you the power of moderation.
Prior to this, users had to moderate comments one by one, or just ignore them entirely. Users could report comments to Instagram, but it isn’t always the most efficient method. However with this upcoming feature, Instagram will soon let users create their own filters to filter out comments that they deem to be personally offensive.
The idea is that while there are certain things that could be considered offensive to the majority, there are certain things that only you might find offensive. Users will be able to choose to certain words or phrases that they think are offensive to them, or they can choose to disable comments entirely on certain posts.
According to Instagram’s head of public policy, Nicky Jackson Colaco, he told The Washington Post, “Our goal is to make Instagram a friendly, fun and, most importantly, safe place for self expression. We have slowly begun to offer accounts with high volume comment threads the option to moderate their comment experience. As we learn, we look forward to improving the comment experience for our broader community.”
