Sony’s Patented Another Way to Reduce Loading Times
Sony has patented a new technology that will help remove loading screens from games that use it.
The patent, titled 'System and method for dynamically loading game software for smooth game play', describes a technology that loads in data in advance in order to prevent load screens.
The patent explains that the system can monitor the player’s character, and use this information to load in new areas in preparation as the player approaches them.

EA Executives Give Up Their 2019 Performance Bonuses
Executives at EA have decided to give up their bonuses this year due to the company’s lower-than-expected performance in the 2019 fiscal year.
As detailed in a summary of EA’s business on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website, CEO Andrew Wilson and his executive staff have elected to not receive the monetary bonuses they would typically be paid as part of EA’s pay-for-performance compensation philosophy.
The report notes that fiscal year 2019 is down, which is a disappointing result for EA after strong performance between 2014 and 2018.

The Best Gaming Chairs

When it comes to setting up your gaming space, a goof quality chair is one of the things that often goes overlooked in favour of more techy additions but, along with your desk, it's the one thing which should receive some time and consideration.
Choosing an unsupportive or poorly made chair can impact more than your in-game performance. In the long term it can lead to problems like neck and back disorders and numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, and in the short term it can leave you with a stiff neck or a pain in the backside, and let's be honest, none of those things sound like a lot of fun.

WWE Stomping Grounds: You’ll Never Believe Who Corbin Picked as the Special Ref
It's time to settle in and watch the newly-branded WWE PPV event-slash-happening, Stomping Grounds!
And try our best to enjoy ourselves despite Baron Corbin being in the main event!
What is Stomping Grounds? Well it's a show that requires all participants to "Kick Ass and Take Names." Or "Kick Names and Take Ass" if you're Mantis in Infinity War.
A lot of the card features Super Showdown Super Do-Overs - from Rollins and Corbin squaring off again to more Roman vs. the Shane Brigade (in an actual WrestleMania do-over), and also Kofi vs. Dolph one more time. Some of the match stips have changed, but will the outcomes? Will any big titles change hands or will Stomping Grounds be more of a stepping stone?

Adult Swim’s Final Space Could Fill the Rick and Morty Void in Your Life
Final Space was a bit of an oddity when it premiered on TBS last year. The network is not known for their original animated offerings, and its candy-coated visuals may have kept the door closed on older viewers who didn’t want to spend time with a show that looked like it was for kids.
Why then was late-night legend Conan O’Brien championing the show, attaching himself to it as executive producer? Why were science-fiction and comedy mainstays like David Tennant, Fred Armisen, and Ron Perlman lending their voices to its characters? (Alan Tudyk, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black, and Jane Lynch are all joining the voice cast in the second season.) Just like its mascot Mooncake, there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye, and series creator Olan Rogers is focusing on making that clear in Season 2.
