Bentley Reveals a New Continental GT Convertible Model

Bentley has recently surprised its fans with the reveal of a new model. The Continental GT Convertible is a beautiful combination of luxury and speed as it is able to go from 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds, a speed that is on par with most supercars.

The convertible model is similar to the hard-top brother as it sports the same W12 engine which employs cylinder deactivation in order to achieve a maximum speed of 207 mph. The eight-speed dual clutch transmission and an innovative 48-volt control system that efficiently mitigates body roll are also present.

Prospective buyers will enjoy a beautiful interior that features a revolving screen able to offer valuable information and entertainment functions at the same time. The premium package includes a powerful 2,000 watt stereo system with 18 speakers and Active Bass Transducers.

The roof received an upgrade as the new Z-fold system can be folded or raised in 19 seconds even when the car is in motion at a maximum speed of 30 mph. Buyers can opt for a finish similar to tweed which is available in seven different nuances. In order to keep the driver and passengers warm a neck-warming system can be paired with heated seats and arm rests in order to make winter trips more enjoyable.

The major inconvenience that plagues convertible cars is a high level of road and wind noise. Even the most impressive fabric cannot compete with pure metal when it comes to soundproofing. But this doesn’t seem to be a particular challenge for Bentley as the company notes that the new Continental GT convertible is more silent than its predecessor the GT Coupe. Since that model was offered an environment that was well insulated from noises the performance should satisfy even the most pretentious driver. Noise-canceling tires developed by Pirelli will considerably improve the driving experience.

The price tag hasn’t been announced just yet but premium quality comes with a premium price.

Blockchain Technology Innovations Lead the Gaming Industry into the Future

Our world is gradually unraveling innovative ways of using the blockchain industry. There’s more to this technology than just finance and cryptocurrencies because it’s penetrating more and more sectors and industries. For instance, art, agriculture, energy and more have been already starting to integrate the blockchain into their operations.

Online gaming is another player that got on board, and there are a lot of projects which are already picking up. The gaming sector is thriving, and the revenue is projected to grow from about $94.4 billion to $128 billion in yearly volume by 2020.

The gaming business is one of the fastest developing tech industries in the whole world, and the developments of more sectors and industries only come to support it.

Blockchain gaming is morphing the gaming sector and brings an avalanche of enthusiast gamers and investors as well who are enjoying the massive number of opportunities that the blockchain technology has to offer.

More gaming companies are developing games based on the blockchain

Gamers have begun more and more acclimated with the digital economies, and they’re rushing to adjust to innovation. Mobile gaming companies are already producing digital resources, and the blockchain tech seems the natural step in these developments.

More mobile companies are developing great mobile games which are based on them, and the association between the blockchain and gaming enables developers to have an approach to monetize. Organizations are also able to save a lot in terms of payment processing because payment fees become almost inexistent via the use of digital currency. This leads to distributors’ opportunity to investigate new adoption models.

Digital assets in gaming

Virtual weapons, accessories, tools, and costumes will hold an expanded value because the blockchain facilitates their purchase, sharing, trading, and gifting. Users can offer in-game items, and this only gives such things actual financial value.

For instance, Gods Unchained is the world’s first blockchain based eSport produced by Fuel Games. Players can enjoy trust-free ownership of the items they’re buying or earning in the game. Such proprietorship is adding an entirely new measurement to gaming.

What does the future of blockchain-enabled gaming industry hold?

Blockchain-enabled games offer gamers the ability to pay for everything with crypto and even if the digital assets’ value is volatile, gamers are still appreciating the flexibility that stems from this.

Each activity and data is verified via smart contracts, and you can build a character that can be used over a large number of gaming systems.

The risk of hacking in minimum due to the high security enabled by the blockchain technology. Game developers will be able to incorporate blockchain nodes into the design and play structure of the games that they’re developing.

The blockchain technology will eventually change the way in which data is stored for gamers, and it will change the whole way in which games are developed. These are just a  few ways in which the innovations of the blockchain technology will disrupt the gaming industry leading it into the future and presenting it with new opportunities.

Using Google Maps Everyday may have a Negative Impact

Any smartphone owner used Google Maps or a similar app at least once in their life.

After all, the process is quite simple. Enter the name of the place and a handy map will come up, showing you the right direction every time. Most will argue that they will take you to that cool but remote restaurant in a matter of minutes and many believe that what we get is the best and fastest route.

While minor inconveniences like battery drain may happen at some point, a new study points out that extensive use of GPS apps can significantly diminish your wayfinding skills.

From a practical point of view, even if you are able to reach your destination in time you won’t remember the path. When you will have to go to the same location next time you will also need to use the app again since you will not be able to find the way on your own.

Use of landmarks

In the past people used landmarks in order to find their way from one place to another. A route consisted out of several landmarks that come in succession and people traveled from one landmark to another while also enjoying the unique sights it had to offer.

People that rely on the app are unlikely to look at their surroundings. Even if they were to start from the same location, they will struggle while traveling since the environment will seem unfamiliar.

Even if the use of navigation apps is quite popular in our days this is not necessarily a bad thing. Yes, people may not go from one place to another like they used to in the old days but they will arrive faster at their destination.

The ease of using these apps also encourages people to be more adventurous since the risk of getting lost has been minimized.

 

Do keep in mind that sometimes the road towards your destination can be beautiful too.

Pokémon GO Special Research Quest: How to Catch Ditto

The latest Special Research quest on Pokemon Go is known as Let’s Go, Meltan! and it brings back a difficult task: players have to catch Ditto. “Catch a Ditto” is something that was also required for the Mew Special Research quest and many players had difficulties with it.  That’s because Ditto can transform in other Pokemon as well, which makes the entire task trickier.

There isn’t too much time left for this quest, so all players are doing their best to catch the Pokemon. Spawn rates are increased, so it is not hard to understand why trainers want to complete this quest as soon as possible.

How to catch Ditto?

If you are one of the players that want to catch Ditto, we have prepared a couple of tips for you. It appears to be an easy way to do this, although not many players realise it. The Let’s Go, Meltan! event also brought new temporary Field Research quests. One of this quests is to make an excellent throw. While this might not appear important at first, the reward for that is a Pidgey encounter, but it appears that it is in fact Ditto.

All you have to do is visit a couple of PokeStops and make an excellent throw. Then catch the Pokemon that shows up. Obviously even this task will require a bit of effort but it is a lot simpler to catch Ditto this way.

If you manage to do it, you will notice that there will be even more quests for the Let’s Go, Meltan Special Research. As a pro tip, it will be a lot easier to complete this Special Research before November 27 because of the quests revolving around a Pokemon that currently has increased spawns.

Pokemon GO: Will Darkrai Make An Appearance In December?

Pokemon GO players are anxiously waiting for updates after gen 4 Pokemon were added to the game. At the moment, many of them are awaiting Darkrai, one of the most well-known gen 4 legendaries, who is a Dark-type as well.

There is a big chance that Darkrai will be the next addition to the game, especially since Cresselia was already added to the game, as a Tier 5 raid boss. As you probably know already, Darkrai and Cresselia form the Lunar Duo, a legendary duo based on the moon. Darkrai represents the new moon and Cresselia the crescent moon. Therefore, since its counterpart was already introduced to the game, we are expecting to see Darkrai soon.

It is very likely that we will get more information on December 18, since this is when Cresselia will leave raid battles. This would be the right moment to receive Darkrai, and this introduction would make perfect sense. There are a couple of weeks left, and we can only wait patiently.

Duos and trios

This is not the first duo that is introduced to Pokemon GO. There have been others in the past, and we even received legendary trios. For example, we had the legendary Tower duo with Ho-Oh and Lugia, the weather trio, with Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza and the Titan trio, with Registeel, Refice and Regirock.

Each time a duo or a trio was added to the game, its members followed each other closely. This is another reason to believe that Cresselia will be followed by Darkrai. If we take a look at the main series we can remember that Cresselia gives people nice dreams, while Darkrai offers nightmares. Cresselia was caught on the Fullmoon island, while Darkrai was caught on Newmoon island.
