See Gears 5’s New Weapons and Escape Character Abilities
Gears 5 Escape has been our first chance to get a look at some of the game’s newest weapons, character abilities, and enemies. While there will surely be more surprises in store for us in the campaign, versus, and Horde, here are the new features we’ve found so far.
Character Abilities
The characters you use in Escape and Horde are called Hero Characters. Each of these characters is equipped with a passive and ultimate ability. We only know about the following three characters who have a unique connection to Escape, but The Coalition said more will be added to Escape. We have yet to see who will be playable in Horde.

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.
