Toni Kroos Discusses Differences Between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Sport Bild recently spoke with new Real Madrid signing Toni Kroos and the 24 year old midfielder says Bayern Munich were a lot stricter than the Spanis club.
“When training started at 10:30 at Bayern, everybody would be ready to go at 10:30,” he joked. “Things are a bit different here. I got used to it pretty quickly, though. Everything is a bit more relaxed and loose. I briefly considered using a translator at Madrid, but I didn’t like the idea of having someone around me all the time. I can get by using English. And Sami Khedira helped me out with some minor things in the beginning. He was really helpful for me.”
While the German World Cup winner admitted that the mentality is completely different, he doesn’t feel nervous or have worries about not fitting in.
“I never get nervous. It’s simply not in my character. I am convinced of my own qualities, because I know that I can get the best out of myself when it matters most,” he explained.
“I also know that it’s just a football game when things aren’t working out at some point. That makes me feel calm and relaxed. But I obviously remain focused as well, because I do care about how we play.”
Kroos who signed this Summer has agreed to 6 years with the Spanish giant at a fee of around €25 to €30 million.

Adnan Januzaj Issued Gigg’s Legendary Number 11 Shirt
Adnan Januzaj Issued Gigg’s Legendary Number 11 Shirt.
It’s now official young Manchester United standout Adnan Januzaj has been issued assistant manager Ryan Gigg’s legendary number 11 shirt, that he wore for two decades for the club. “It was a big honour for me and my family and I was very happy to have it given to me,” said the Belgian midfielder after debuting it in a losing effort against Swansea at Old Trafford. “There is pressure on me because there was a legend in front of me who had it for 20 years, but I am really happy with that,” the 19 year old explained. It was an unfortunate 2-1 loss for Manchester United who everybody expected to comfortably defeat Swansea in the early seasons clash. “It was a very disappointing match but it’s only the first one of the season so it’s nothing,” said Adnan. “We’ll move on to the next one now.” “I pretty much guarantee that everyone in here didn’t give us a hope in hell before the game,” Swansea manager Gary Monk said in a post-game press conference. He did however admit that even though his team won, that doesn’t mean his job isn’t still on shaky ground. “Time comes up frequently in this conversation. I know how hard it is to stay in this business, I know that as well as I get on with the board, they will not hesitate to do what is best for the club if we don’t perform.”

Full House Returning To TV With Original Cast?
Full House Returning To TV With Original Cast?
Late 80s early 90s American sitcom Full House may be coming back, and with the same cast as the original according to TV Guide. Hyped as a revival or “where are they now” the show’s original writer Jeff Franklin and producer Bob Boyett are back on board, and John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse is said to have financially backed the Warner Bros project. Other cast members believed to be negotiating for the revival include Bob Saget (Danny), Candace Cameron Bure (D.J.), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie), Andrea Barber (Kimmy), and Dave Coulier (Joey). Perhaps the most famous of the cast the Olsen Twins however have turned down the idea previously, which has been out there for some time. “We’re sort of working on a twist on a sequel,” said John Stamos last year. “But we don’t know if it’s going to happen yet or not.” Stamos has also worked on the concept of a Full House movie. “Insiders say the studio pitched a Full House revival last year that would have been set up like FX’s Anger Management, in which the network that airs it must pick up a 90-episode slate (produced at an accelerated pace) if the initial 10 episodes hit a certain rating,” say TV Guide. Full House ran for 8 seasons and 192 episode between 1987 and 1995. The show followed widowed father Danny Tanner (Saget) raising his three daughters with the help of two male friends. The final season on ABC was still averaging 11.8 million viewers.

Pentagon Seeded Plot For Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
Pentagon Seeded Plot For Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Believe it or not the Pentagon (America’s defense HQ), the State Department, Department of Defense, Air Force, National Guard and countless other agencies have officials whose sole job is to liaise with the media and entertainment industry. In the film industry this is a well known occurrence and several new FOIA requests have been granted which show the wide extent of their involvement. This can range from providing bits of information simply to make movies more accurate, to outright influence on the story being told. However one area of entertainment that also collaborates often with state agencies is the gaming industry. Just this week it emerged that the developers behind Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare worked with a Pentagon adviser. “Three years ago, right after we finished Modern Warfare 3, we started thinking about how to change Call of Duty,” says Michael Condrey, co-founder of Sledgehammer Games. “We brought in a lot of outside help – military advisers, futurologists – we got together with a scenario planner from the department of defense, who is active in the Pentagon. His job is to think about future threats and prepare ‘what if’ scenarios for the US government. So we asked him, what do you think will be the conflict of tomorrow?” In essence this adviser had a key influence on the plot of the game, as his response is basically what the game has become. “The adviser predicted that the next threat to the security of the United States would come from a private military company. It may be some billion-dollar contract gone bad or a sudden tipping point in the ratio between national military and contracted forces.”

Jeremy Carver Discusses Supernatural Season 10 The Hunt For Dean October Return Date
Supernatural
producer Jeremy Carver gives more details on season 10 in a new
interview with the show’s network CW. The horror/fantasy series will
return to TV screens on October 7th, at 9pm.
The new season will follow the hunt for Dean, now a demon after being killed by Metatron at the end of season 9.
“You had both brothers finally coming together over a bleak prospect, where Dean may have to sacrifice himself in order to stop this threat from Metatron,” says Carver. “Sam, for the first time in a long time was ok with that.”
He added: “Metatron ended up killing Dean, or so we thought, until we watched Crowley facilitate the resurrection of Dean with the Mark of Cain.”
Carver explains that in season 10 “Sam is going to be on the hunt and he’s going to fall to such depths in searching for his brother, that I think that by the time he actually finds Dean the demon, there’s going to be a real question about which one of them is the true monster.”
Mark Sheppard who plays Crowley has been promoted to season regular for season 10 after having sporadic appearances since season 5.
Although the average viewing numbers have slipped to an all time low of 2.19 million, they are still considered strong numbers for the CW Network and critics rank it as one of the best “Cult TV shows” of modern TV.

The Fantastic 4: Fake Josh Trank Twitter Account Fools Many At One Go
A fake Josh Trank account surfaced on Twitter and it looked so real
that even top personalities from the Twitterverse were fooled by it. The
director of the upcoming movie Fantastic Four discussed many details
about the film on Twitter before it was confirmed to be only a prank.
Comic exploring sites like Comic Book Resources and Bleeding Cool also fell for the trick. They later announced that the director’s account was indeed a fake one. With less than a year to go before this reboot of Marvel’s Fantastic Four hits the theaters, the buzz for the movie increases every day.
The film was shot earlier this year in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The film will star actors Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic and Kate Mara as Invisible Woman while Super villain Doctor Doom will be played by Toby Kebbel.
The person who made the fake Twitter handle apparently released information about how “The Thing” will look like this time. Although it is unusual for directors to reveal important information about their upcoming movies, many people genuinely believed whatever trivia was revealed on the social networking site.
But the good news is that, the prank has finally been called off after being detected by the marketing unit of the 20th Century Fox movie. The film was announced around five years ago and work began some two years back.
The new version of The Fantastic Four would have to prove a lot as the 2005 version of the movie appealed to the masses very well. The film revolves around a group of Marvel Super Heroes who come together to fight with the main villain Doctor Doom.
This is Josh Trank’s second film. The film will be out on June 19, 2015. What are your insights on the next sequel of Fantastic Four? Let us know below.

Super Smash Bros. 4 Potential Roster Leak and Release Dates
Super Smash Bros. 4 Potential Roster Leak and Release Dates.
Nintendo, which has been struggling to find its market niche for the Wii U console, finally has the wind back in its sails with the wildly-successful launch of Mario Kart 8. The upcoming Super Smash Bros. title, the fourth in the famous franchise, is poised to drive Nintendo’s recent success even further. Fans of the series of fighting games featuring iconic Nintendo characters have been waiting for six years for the next installment. The third game, Super Smash Bros Brawl, was released way back in 2008 for the original Wii. Super Smash Bros 4 will be the first in the series to debut on two systems, as well as being the first Smash Bros. title to be featured on a Nintendo handheld. The two versions will be titled Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and it is rumored that the 3DS version may be getting it’s own special-edition bundle. In keeping with tradition, the next Super Smash Bros. will add 11 new characters to the game. Newcomers include Mega Man, the Wii Fit trainer, the villager from the Animal Crossing series, and more. Not all new characters have been officially announced, but a recent leak may have shown players the final roster. On August 19, screenshots of the game were posted on the 4chan image board showing a picture of the in-game character lineup. A few days later, videos were uploaded to YouTube which featured some of the new characters in action. Among the newcomers shown in the videos and screenshots are Shulk from Xenogears, Bowser Jr., the dog from Duck Hunt, and R.O.B. (a character based off of an accessory for the original NES console). It seems that the mischievous, greedy, and oddly lovable Wario will be joining the roster as well, a character for whom Super Smash Bros. fans have been asking for some time. Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will be released on October 3, while Wii U owners will have to wait until this holiday season for the console version.

Will the ‘HTC One M9’ specifications and price be just as amazing as the HTC One M8? Release Date, and more
Will the ‘HTC One M9’ specifications and price be just as amazing as the HTC One M8? Release Date, and more.
With the release of the HTC One M8 just a couple months ago, fans have been enjoying the smartphone. However, with talks about HTC One M9 spreading around, fans are starting to pay less attention to the HTC One M8 and more on the HTC One M9. Unfortunately, there has not been much news regarding the HTC One M9’s specifications and release date. With little information available on the smartphone, rumours have started spreading on its design, specifications, and even the release date. The Taiwanese developers have not made an announcement regarding the release date, and the smartphone may not come for a while as the speculated release date will be sometime early 2015. These speculations are based off, tweets, leaks, and previous patterns. However, there are still plenty of users out there still trying to figure out the ins and outs of the HTC One M8. In the meantime the developers will have time to take community feedback and find ways to improve the next addition to the HTC One series. Just like any new addition to a smartphone series, it will bring upgraded features along with new features, and updated hardware. The HTC One M8 came with the latest Snapdragon quad core processor along with two built-in cameras, 32GB storage, and more. The HTC One M9 may not only upgrade the already impressive processor but may even upgrade to a built-in storage of 64GB. As for the price, we can expect it to be similar to the HTC One M8, around $500 – $600. While the HTC One M8 has its user’s hands full, more and more fans are eagerly awaiting the new HTC One M9 as they are looking to get the newest smartphone on the market.

Why the Verizon Nexus 5 is not available, and how a petition will change that
Why the Verizon Nexus 5 is not available, and how a petition will change that
The Nexus 5 has been one of the most popular choices for a low cost high-end smartphone. However, the Nexus 5 is not available through Verizon and consumers have started a petition to have it available for purchase. Despite the high demand for the Nexus 5 through Verizon, they have not received any news, any company who sees a demand and potential profitable service would normally supply the service, but Verizon seems to be holding back. This begs to ask the question, is it out of Verizon’s hands or does Verizon choose not to provide the Nexus 5. The most common reason for a phone not being available is due to the fact that a deal could not be made between two companies. Large companies tend not to send out public messages about business deals until they are completed, and even if they did so, it may be vague or would provide little to no information. With the release of the Nexus 6 coming up, Verizon could see an increase in sales and customers if they decide to make the Nexus smartphones available for their users. Not only are their current customers upset, but they are losing potential customers to their competition. Several other carriers have the Nexus Smartphones available, and are currently doing quite well. A petition has been started for Verizon to make the Nexus 5 available for purchase, as of now there has been no official announcement about whether they will be making it available or not. However, there have been rumours that Verizon could possible make it available when the Nexus 6 is released sometime this year, and they could even start fresh with the Nexus 6 instead of making a deal with a year old phone.

The Mobile Android L (Android 5) OS that could dominate with its new features, updates, and more!
The new Android mobile OS will be bring several new features and
updates to further improve your mobile experience, some improvements
will be brought to the user interface, notification system, along with a
variety of internal changes. The Android L was originally introduced in
June 25, 2014 at a keynote convention at Google’s developer’s
conference and is expected to be released winter 2014. The Android L is
also often referred to as Android 5.0.
Some of the many features in the new Android L OS will include a new user interface based on a new responsive design language known as material design where you can choose from several new animations, one of the internal changes include a new runtime called Android RunTime that will be replacing Dalvik, a new camera API will also be included so that you can use more advanced camera functions, and an improved system for power management. There are many other changes such as a Bluetooth low energy support, a graphics update, new android keyboard design, and new widgets and animations.
There have been a lot of rumours regarding why Google decided to call it Android ‘L’, users have followed the previous idea that Google likes to name Android updates after certain food, and came to the conclusion the ‘L’ stands for Lemon Meringue Pie. This rumour started when the new Android OS was sometimes referred to as ‘LMP’, in the past updates the Android 4.4 update was referred to as ‘KLP’ and was based off Key Lime Pie.
However, the name of the update rarely matters as most users are too busy focusing on the new features and possible improvements. With winter 2014 coming up, you can expect an announcement on the official release date in the next few months.

However, the name of the update rarely matters as most users are too busy focusing on the new features and possible improvements. With winter 2014 coming up, you can expect an announcement on the official release date in the next few months.

Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Old King DLC Released, Gameplay and Graphics under Discussion
Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Old King DLC Released, Gameplay and Graphics under Discussion.
Dark Souls 2 DLC, Crown of the Old Iron King is available for download on the Xbox 360. Priced at £7.99, this 717.03MB file will release soon for the PC and PS3. The makers of this franchise had promised to release a DLC trilogy back in June this year, and it looks like they plan on staying true to their promise. While the first DLC titled Crown of the Sunken King released back in July, the next installment, titled Crown of the Ivory King will release on 24th September. Crown of the Old King features additional boss characters, maps, armors, weaponry and stages, which adds to the already charismatic gameplay. Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Old King is based on a wholly different environment, complete with white flames, dark mist, smoke, etc., which makes people believe that sorcery lurks within. Gamers can buy the DLCs individually or as a pack. The makers have also released an updated version of Dark Souls 2 this Monday, and this version introduces numerous bug fixes and changes. The theories behind the storyline are plenty, and gamers are advised to think less about the plot while gaming. This game can get lonely at times, especially if you are too busy in the combat situations. The bosses do not posses any real difficulty, and this adds to the boredom. Even though the gameplay is boring at times, major graphics improvements have been made to Crown of the Old King. This game throws numerous different challenges to the protagonist, which is at a different level altogether. Stay tuned for more information on the scenario.

Is Diablo 3 still the ultimate ARPG? Reaper of Souls update for consoles, and future patches
Is Diablo 3 still the ultimate ARPG? Reaper of Souls update for consoles, and future patches.
When Diablo 3 was originally released it had big shoes to fill, as the game was long awaited by its predecessor’s fans, Diablo 2. The hard-core diablo fans had been playing Diablo 2 for over 10 years, and were eagerly waiting for the release of Diablo 3. When it did come out, many fans were disappointed due to the many concerns in the game such as the economy, hackers, and more. Despite the rocky start, Blizzard has listened to the fans and have made several changes to win back the hearts of their long-time fans. And with the release of the new update, Reaper of Souls, Blizzard is hoping to impress its fans even more. The Reaper of Souls expansion was released on March 25th for the PC and has been released on August 19th for the consoles, both the Xbox One and 360, and the PS4 and PS3. The Reaper of Souls expansion starts off after the player has defeated Diablo 3 at the end. The main character Tyrael decides to hide the stone in a location known as the Tomb of Rakkis, and as they do, an Angel of Death enters the chamber, the rest can be found out in-game. The Reaper of Souls can also be purchased with the game itself, and is called the Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition. The Reaper of Souls may be the biggest update to hit Diablo 3, but there are still some other things to look forward to. The Diablo 3 2.1 patch has been planned to release sometime this month, no exact date has been confirmed by Blizzard’s Diablo 3 division. As a bonus, Blizzard is also giving a weekend of 50% bonus gold from August 22nd to August 26th. Initially, Diablo 3 had a rough start but it has listened to the feedback it had received from the community, and is planning on continuing to release both large and small updates. At this rate, Blizzard will not only live up to Diablo 2’s glory but may even surpass it.

DOTA 2 Will Finally Get The Much Awaited Techies Update by August 31st
DOTA 2 Will Finally Get The Much Awaited Techies Update by August 31st.
It has been 4 years since Valve released Dota 2 Beta (still the game is in its Beta Stage as all the heroes have not been introduced from Dota 1), and the infamous Techies is nowhere to be seen. Back in Dota 1, Techies used to be the most voted hero in ‘Pub’ games and ‘Pro’ games alike. Such is the power of that hero that a single crafted player, who knows how to use the hero well, can take on the enemy team – single handedly. Year after year, rumors arise about the goblins, Squee and Spleen (Techies) will be coming in the next update, but update after update, after update (and if there is any update after update), there seems to be no sign of the hero– Dota 2 Players will definitely know what we are talking about here. Recently, we accumulated from Reddit (which is a trusted source for Spoilers) that, Valve is probably going to release the hero by the end of this month. Not many days are left, and let’s cross our fingers and wait till September sets in. Another source claimed that the next map update 6.82 for Dota 2 will inculcate Techies along with the actual voiceover for Specter and the Arcana Item set for Phantom Assassin. Along with these, there are some more compendium goodies coming in the next patch. If Valve really keeps their word, and puts an end to this never-ending anticipation, we will get Techies by the end of August. We are eager to pub stomp with the Techies. Let’s hope Valve is hearing this outcry. Are you as excited as we are about the release of Techies in Dota 2? Share your excitement with us in the comments section below as well as a few strategies for owning pubs.
