In recent times we have started to hear a bit more about Samsung’s upcoming wearable, the Gear S3. One of the rumors we’ve heard is that it will be retaining its form factor and its rotary bezel design. We have also heard the rumors that they could be partnering with a jewelry maker for a version of the Gear S3.
Now thanks to an exclusive report from SamMobile, additional details about the Gear S3 have been revealed, such as some of its upcoming features. According to the report, the Gear S3 is said to pack several new sensors under its hood, such as an altimeter, a barometer, a speedometer, and it will also come with GPS integrated into it.
Just in case you’re unfamiliar with these sensors, an altimeter is used to measure altitude and the watch is said to be able to display it in a graph format. The barometer will be used to measure atmospheric pressure, which at the same time can also be used to help determine altitude since the higher up you go, there will be a difference in pressure.
Last but not least is the speedometer which we’re sure many of you guys are familiar with. It will be used to measure speed, track your distance, and will work in tandem with the GPS. Basically it sounds like the Gear S3 is shaping up to be more of a smartwatch aimed at active users, as opposed to a lifestyle kind of product, but either way take it with a grain of salt, but do check back with us during IFA 2016 because that is when the Gear S3 is rumored to be announced.

World of Warcraft: Legion is nearly upon us with about a month to go. For those who can’t wait, we guess there’s really not much you can do. However the good news is that Blizzard has decided to sate your appetite by releasing an extended preview of the game which you can check out in the video above.
Basically the video showcases all the new features that players can expect in Legion. This includes the new class order halls which will be replacing garrisons, new animations which have already been released i the pre-patch, the new Demon Hunter class, the different new zones that players can quest in, new dungeons, new raids, artifact weapons and more.
We have to say that it does a pretty good job of getting players psyched for the game, at least based on the comments which seems to heartily approve Legion even ahead of its release. In the meantime the good news for gamers who pre-purchased the expansion is that you guys will be able to access the Demon Hunter class early on the 9th of August, which is also when the Demon Invasion world event will be kicking off.
Gamers who haven’t pre-ordered the game, don’t worry as you will still be able to do so. Just head on over to Blizzard’s website for the details. In the meantime, grab a drink, sit back and relax and enjoy the extended preview.

Apple used to be criticized for their emojis for failing to show racial diversity as the majority of its emojis featured caucasian people. The Cupertino company quickly addressed that by allowing users to select from various skin tones when choosing emojis. Now the company has addressed another issue, which is gender diversity.
With iOS 10, Apple has announced that they will be including more gender diverse emojis in the operating system. This means that users can expect women to be in different roles and professions. According to Apple, “This exciting update brings more gender options to existing characters, including new female athletes and professionals, adds beautiful redesigns of popular emoji, a new rainbow flag and more family options.”
On top of that, it also looks like Apple will be addressing another controversial emoji, which is that of the pistol. The company was asked by advocacy group New Yorkers Against Gun Violence to remove the revolver emoji, and it looks like with iOS 10 that’s what Apple will be doing as they have swapped out the revolver for a squirt gun.
We’re not quite sure what is the rationale for replacing it with a squirt gun, as opposed to just removing it entirely, but either way it looks like the revolver emoji on iOS devices will be gone. So what do you guys think of these changes?

Towards the end of June, it was reported that due to issues, support for mods for Fallout 4 on the PS4 had been delayed. The launch of mod support was supposed to be released in June, fast forward to today and we still have not seen the feature. For those wondering about its status, Bethesda has posted a quick update on the issue.
In a post on Twitter, Bethesda revealed that they were still working with Sony to bring mod support onto the PS4. “We’re working w/ Sony on Fallout 4 Mod support for PS4. The process is still under evaluation. As soon as we learn more, we will share news.” Unfortunately this is rather vague which means that we could be waiting for days, weeks, or even months.
We’re not sure what the issue is with the PlayStation, but if you might recall, DLCs for Skyrim from several years ago seemed to encounter similar delays for the PS3, which many gamers weren’t too happy about. Obviously the two aren’t related but it does seem rather coincidental that Bethesda is running into issues on the PlayStation platform at least twice for two different games.
Either way we’ll keep our eyes peeled for the launch of support for Fallout 4 mods, so do check back with us at a later date for the details.

Last week we brought word that Blizzard would be releasing their first audio drama that would be the prequel to the upcoming World of Warcraft: Legion expansion events. Blizzard has in the past explored a variety of formats to bring some backstory and lore to its games, such as animated shorts, comics, and books, but the audio drama is basically a first for the company.
That being said, the good news is that the audio drama has since been released. Titled “The Tomb of Sargeras”, the audio drama was written Robert Brooks and narrated by Steven Pacey. It runs for about 26 minutes and it is part one, meaning that there is more to come. Blizzard’s description of the first part reads, “Gul’dan’s efforts to corrupt the Iron Horde on Draenor have ended in failure. The Burning Legion is giving him one last chance to redeem himself by finding the Tomb of Sargeras… but he is already growing tired of the demons’ tight leash.”
Now for those who have a hard time following the drama on audio, not to worry as it seems that the written version of the audio drama is available as a PDF if you prefer that format. So far it seems that the drama has been well-received based on its comments, but like we said it runs for 26 minutes so maybe you’ll want to make sure you have some free time before checking it out.

Blizzard has introduced trial features for pretty much most of its games. Basically it limits players to the number of things they are allowed to do, but at the same time provides them with enough information and experience to decide whether or not they want to purchase the game in full. Unfortunately Blizzard did not provide trial features for Overwatch.
However the good news for Overwatch hopefuls is that Blizzard could be considering introducing trial features soon. This news did not come directly from Blizzard themselves, but rather from NetEase’s president, Li Riqiang. For those unfamiliar, NetEase is Blizzard’s partner in China and helped the company publish the game in the country.
According to Li who spoke during ChinaJoy 2016, he revealed that Blizzard could be considering trial features for the game, but the plans have not been finalized yet. It is unclear if Blizzard will actually introduce this, but it sounds like it is an option that the company is considering in a bid to try and attract more gamers to Overwatch.
We suppose for the price that gamers are paying versus the content they are getting, it doesn’t quite have the same “value” compared to games like World of Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo where it is rich in content that you can enjoy by yourself. No word on when this free trial feature will be introduced, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled.
