Halo Master Chief Collection

If you're a fan, then you probably already know that the Master Chief Collection has been available for awhile and that it contains REMARKABLE Anniversary Edition Remasters of Halo: CE and Halo 2. In fact, if you're an Achievement Hunter on Xbox, you can even get some points for seeing every level in it's original render AND in it's remastered environment. (You can toggle back and forth very easily.)

If you're looking for news, you may not know that Halo MCC has begun it's transition to PC.

#PhotoLumiero | Virtual Game Photography

Piloting an Xbox One S, Lumiero (a photographer irl) has been exploring various virtual game environments with Photography Modes such as Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed: Origins and AC: Odyssey but, he also skillfully captures images from other games the old fashioned way (Xbox Button + Y).

One of these games is Halo: Combat Evolved. As I mentioned earlier, you can see all 27 photos on SeeJoshsPhotos.com but, I was able to get my hands on a few for you, Culturists? (I'll keep thinking on it...)

A Man Does His Girlfriends Dishes on YouTube, Willingly | #ManDoesDIshes @ClassySexyBeau

A new fantasy blog has surfaced on the internet and some are hinting that it's "porn for women".

Beau is a thoughtful "husband" or "boyfriend" who let's his wives and girlfriends watch him do that dreaded chore that many couples fight about.

That's right.

He wants to do the dishes.

In his first video release on YouTube (there's even rumors that his content is being uploaded to adult themed tube sites) mid tempo dance hall music lends a backdrop to slow motion images of hands in soapy water and pots and pans being rinsed in the sink.

When asked for a comment, the self proclaimed "Classy, Sexy, Beau" had this to say:

"I truly love doing the dishes. I worked in high end kitchen for many years and developed strategies for dealing with the monotony. I really enjoy it."

 In regards to how it will be received by women, he continued,

"I've been following, listening to and retweeting women for many years. I've been witness to some of the ugliness that these women are subjected to, especially the adult performers and content creators. I did a search for "man does dishes" when I was researching (the project) and nearly every result was a video of a man complaining about doing the dishes or belittling the women in their lives. I saw a void and I hope to fill it."

The Man Does Dishes blog is currently hosted on Blogger.

It still remains unknown if there are actually women out there that want to see this type of content, let alone in an "adult manner". 

One thing is certain, the slow motion images of water and some decent music makes this worth a watch and if you're gonna be over there anyway, it may be a good decoy vid to click in case someone walks in on you, lol.

The internet truly has everything.

Cheers,

Abstract Art Gallery,"Rouge", to become Indie Film

"As I have grown, the color RED has begun to speak to me.
When I was young, blue was my favorite color.
This is a project that has allowed me to explore a color that has been foreign to me, even exotic.
Below, there is some content for you to explore. You may leave your impressions in the comments. I want to know your thoughts on the subject.
If you are so inclined, there is also an opportunity to purchase your own copy of some of these original pieces of art for you to study in your own space.
What is your passion made of?"

After releasing the short for "Rouge" on YouTube earlier this week, the Abstract Art branch of artscience84 announced on a live Mixer stream, plans to adapt the project into an entire film immersed in the color red.

Last Tuesday, the replay surfaced on YouTube:
#ROUGE84\ How Does RED Make You Feel?\ ReBroadcast on YouTube




Shortly after that, changes were made to the official page dedicated to the project including a new description (as seen above but, in French) and some changes to the layout, including a custom url.

Visit #Rouge84 by artscience84 at www.Rouge.artscience84.com

In the video, the artist explains the concepts behind abstrqct84 and "Rouge" in addition to giving a brief tour of the website.

There is no release date set as of today but stay tuned to @84Culture and you won't miss out.

#abstrqct84\ New Abstract Gallery Bleeds Passion

January 11, 2019\\
California, USA\\

Friday evening marked the third series release by the American abstractionist project, known across the internet as abstrqct84. After releasing a standard Abstract Photography collection over 10 years ago, then, transitioning into the realm of Black and White Photography in 2018, the latest gallery release broke on Instagram just before the sun set on the Pacific Coast of California this weekend and explores an entirely new style for the New Year.

La couleur ROUGE évoque la passion

"The color RED invokes passion" is the tagline for the latest hashtag, #84Rouge. In the spirit of reinvention, previously unpublished abstract images have been selected and "immersed" in deep amber, rose and ginger tones. Both overlayed and compelled from within the original works of digital art, these new pieces open the viewer up from the core with temptation, love and fire being integral inspirations.

There is currently no word and how far this latest installment will reach. It's unclear if these 7 images are the entire gallery or if another wave can be expected. However, this entire gallery is available for purchase via the ImageKind print website for a limited time. It is also rumored that one of a kind, Limited Edition prints will be made available through artscience84.com in the future.

Currently, there are only a few images released to Instagram and Twitter but, we can expect the rest to be released throughout the month, presumably leading up to Valentine's Day in the U.S.

#84Bing Search of the Day\ Harbin Ice and Snow Festival\

via The Guardian

January 06, 2019\\
California, USA\\

Happy Sunday, World!

The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival is featured on the Bing homepage, today and it is also our:

#84Bing Search of the Day

A winter wonderland in Northeast China https://binged.it/2sdB10B

The initial draw to my eyes was the beautiful image of a colorful coastline that only grew more intriguing when the Bing Quiz reveals that this entire construction is made of ice! 

These are some of my favorites.

Here's some more images: Bing Image Search

The festival has it's roots in an ice lantern show and winter garden party in 1963. It's a relatively new tradition by Chinese cultural standards but, after merging with the International Ski Festival in 2001 it has grown in popularity around the world.

Ice is harvested from the Songhua River and sculptors create from many inspirations including, mythical beings, famous people and even replicas of monuments and buildings from all over the world.

Lumiero | Gaming for artscience84.com:

The first time I played this legendary game was WAAAAY back in the day on the original Sony Playstation! I love soccer so this game was a natural fit. I could play for hours with my IRL teammates.

 Unfortunately, I wasn’t much of a video gamer in my youth, so the next time I played was FIFA 10 on the Nintendo Wii! Even then, online gaming wasn’t really on my radar. I played FIFA 11 on the Wii but then, that was it.

 It wasn’t until FIFA 18 that I really began to get serious about this title. I got an Xbox and as I’m sure you could guess, the game play was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

 On one hand, it was frustrating. There was so many new controls and nuances to learn. LT, Right Stick, LB, RB, Tactics, Finesse was all new to me. On the other hand, it was incredibly exciting!

  Wouldn’t you believe it? Here comes FIFA 19 and there’s EVEN MORE control over tactics, skill, shooting and more!

Read about EA Sports and Frostbite joining forces here.

It’s all interesting but, I think the feature I’m most excited to try is the Active Touch System. Although, Alex Hunter moving to La Liga, UEFA Champion's League play, the new Kick-Off Modes and new Shot Timing features are all worthy of mention.

Promoting Content with Ads on Instagram | #as84rose #marketing

It's been an exciting day, so far, over on Instagram. After some initial success, IG suggested that I promote this post and I decided to give it a try.

I've been wondering about the different ways to promote content on social media, especially since they've made it pretty easy to do.

One concern I had was, with such a small budget, would it even be worth the trouble. I won't go into details but, I opted for a low dollar amount and a week long campaign.

Have you had any success creating social media campaigns? Let me know in the comments.

Anyway, it's going great! I put some thought into the target demographics and have received lots of likes. Not many follows or action responses, yet. (My ad points to a page on my website about this image.)

It's currently 3 am on the West Coast and it's been 12 hours since the campaign launched. I expect that there will be another push once the European evening audience has a look.

I'll give it another day or so and let you know how it goes.

You can check it out on Instagram, here.

The 5th Stand by Chelsea FC | #CFC | #apps

From Google Play

It's worth mentioning that Chelsea FC have done an amazing job on their new app, The 5th Stand.

I checked in this morning to find out that you can access the audio feed from the app (I'm in SoCal).

That's great on it's own but, when I closed the app and turned off my screen, the audio was still playing, which is perfect!

I can put my headphones on,  drop my phone in my pocket and go about my business. I can't say that for lots of apps.

That feature alone makes a worthy app. So, I thought it was deserving of a post, here.

It's also got great resources such as Match Day, News, Highlights, Connecting with Nearby Supporters and Alerts.

The UI is clean and simple so it runs smoothly and doesn't slow my phone down.

It's solid. Check it out here.

Come on, Chelsea!

What is the Our World Cares Initiative? | @OurWorldCares | #advocacy #ourhomeless

Nearly 5 years ago, a Twitter account was created to influence change and foster awareness of the housing crisis in America. By organizing accounts, sharing news stories and injecting positive affirmation, @OurHomeless was a passion project that would grow into service of more than just the US.

Being surrounded by charitable people tends to lend itself to gratitude. And with that gratitude, it becomes impossible to overlook the many causes and foundations around the world doing wonderful things for others.

So, as of August 18, 2018, @OurHomeless is expanding it's focus to a more global advocacy program. While ending homelessness remains a top priority, the new platform allows integration of multiple avenues for people to find, join, support and share their passions for Mental Health Awareness, Veterans Affairs, Life Threatening Illness Prevention and Treatment, Emergency Relief and so much more.

The screen name "Our Homeless" was about taking ownership. The issues that present themselves will not be solved by those who will not acknowledge and accept them. Homelessness is a societal issue, not just somebody else's to deal with.

"Our World Cares" is in the same vein. Living a world of peace, kindness and happiness requires care. It requires much effort and sacrifice and it will not be done for us. We must create that world. This initiative is an affirmation. This is Our World. We want peace, kindness and happiness in the world we live in. That is what we do.

Our World Cares.

VIDEO: Wayne Rooney Saves DCU in the Dying Moments | @UnitedStateside | #mls #soccer

WAYNE. ROONEY. pic.twitter.com/OPMJ70nJiY

— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) August 13, 2018

Okay, okay. This isn't a Cup Final, it doesn't clinch the Playoff spot, it's possibly not the greatest goal ever scored in MLS. However, this may be the most amazing EFFORT I've ever seen in MLS, maybe in American Sports.

In case you're unfamiliar, Rooney is a Legendary English Footballer whom, for lack of a better term was deemed "washed up" in the Premier League. Add to that, the stigma of Major League Soccer being perceived a "retirement league" where the world's greatest careers go to end quietly. On top of that, DC United is having one of the worst seasons in MLS.

This video slaps all of that in the face and potentially sets the progressive tone for not only himself and his club but, perhaps the overall perception of American Soccer.

The whole world took notice of this one and rightly so.
See more tweets here

Since the beginning, there have been those who disagree and every time something great happens on these shores are quick to dismiss this nation as relevant in World Football. I'm sure they're still out there, maybe even right here.

What do you think? Does this change anything? Everything?

Leave a comment and Follow @UnitedStateside on Twitter for all things American Sports.

Congrats to DCU and Wayne Rooney on an amazing moment.

Workaround for Buying Cars Error in Forza Horizon 2 | @golumiero | #fh2 #forzahorizon2

Workaround for Buying Cars Error

Forza Horizon 2 on Xbox One

This game was recently made available on GAMES WITH GOLD. It is a few generations old so, some of the online features may not work the same way.

My first encounter with this error was at The Hub, beginning a new ROAD TRIP. You have to purchase a qualified car to continue.

Here's how to get through it and continue your ROAD TRIP.

CHOOSE A VEHICLE, then the RECOMMENDED DESIGN page comes up. That part is no longer available online.

That's where the FEATURE UNAVAILABLE error message shows up.

PRESS A to Ok that message.

That brings you back to RECOMMENDED DESIGN.

PRESS Y for Color options.

Choose a color and purchase the vehicle as usual.
