¿Un videojuego de Jujutsu Kaisen? Parecido, esto es lo que sabemos

Jujutsu Kaisen llega a Fortnite, según han descubierto un grupo de mineros de datos, con sus principales protagonistas en forma de skins.

Jujutsu Kaisen ha estrenado recientemente su segunda temporada de anime, que está siendo todo un éxito. A pesar de todo, aún no tenemos un videojuego de la franquicia. Si bien es cierto que se anunció un título de lucha del mismo el pasado julio, Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, aún tendremos que esperar para poder jugar a un videojuego con nuestros hechiceros favoritos de la ficción. Salvo porque Epic Games, una vez más, ha decidido adelantarse a todos los demás.

Fortnite DESCARGAR

Esto se debe a que varios dataminers de Fortnite han descubierto datos en la última actualización del juego sobre un crossover con el popular anime del momento. Los rumores comenzaron cuando HypeX twitteó que Fortnite colaboraría con una saga de anime «muy querida y conocida», confirmándose con el trabajo de los dataminers en los últimos días.

Aún sin fecha de lanzamiento ni anuncio oficial, lo que sabemos de momento es que habrá skins de Nobara Kugisaki, Megumi Fushiguro y Satoru Gojo. Si tenemos cierta seguridad de que esto es cierto es porque esta clase de información extraída con minería de datos ha sido acertada en la mayoría de casos en el pasado, por lo cual no es atrevido suponer que es cuestión de tiempo que lo confirme Epic Games. Por lo cual solo nos queda esperar para poder disfrutar de esta peculiar, pero a estas alturas no demasiado sorprendente, colaboración entre dos populares franquicias.

All You Need to Know About Loki Season 2: Trailer, Plot, and Premiere Date

A new chapter arrives in the story of Loki, the brother of Thor from Marvel Studios.

Disney Plus is moving forward with its Marvel Studios series. After Secret Invasion, a series with mixed reviews but that has been essential for the future of the MCU, the next one will be the return of the Marvel show that has been the most successful on the platform: Loki.

Indeed, after the culmination of its first season in 2021, Loki returns to continue telling the adventures of the God of Mischief in the Marvel multiverse. Once again, of course, it will feature Kang as the villain to be defeated, and it seems that Jonathan Majors will reprise the role, despite recently being accused of committing a sexist attack.

What will the second season of Loki be about?

The first season of Loki ended with an open conclusion when Sylvie ended the life of “He Who Remains,” a variant of Kang who kept his other variants under control to prevent them from disrupting the space-time. This unleashed the multiverse and led to many events that we have seen later in the MCU, but Loki ended up traveling to another timeline where no one knew him.

That’s where the first season left off, so now Loki has to convince Mobius (Owen Wilson) of his story again and get his help to restore the space-time. All this while Sylvie continues to cause chaos in the multiverse, and multiple variants of Kang are on the loose. In short, things look tough for Loki.

Loki Season 2 Trailer

The Season 2 of Loki already has a trailer, and from what we can see in the 2 minutes and 25 seconds preview, it will be even more epic than the first season. Certainly, the duo of Loki and Mobius is spectacular, and it’s just one more aspect among the many that these new episodes will have. Check out the video inside:

Loki Season 2 Release Date

Loki’s second season will premiere on October 6, 2023. It will be part of Marvel Studios’ Phase 5 and will once again delve into the Multiverse and turn everything upside down before leading to the highly anticipated Avengers: The Kang Dynasties.

Turning the Undead: This Anime Series is Revolutionizing Zombie Tropes

One of the unique aspects of anime is its ability to take a genre that has always been portrayed in a certain way and subvert it in ways we couldn’t imagine. If we want an example of that, we just need to look at One Piece, where the stoic and serious pirates of old are replaced with a whirlwind of fun, humor, and action.

Crunchyroll DOWNLOAD

This has just happened again, with zombies once more. The anime Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead emerged less than a month ago and has already become a very popular series. But what’s most intriguing about Zom 100 is not just its story, but how it manages to subvert one of the most classic tropes of the zombie genre: the tone and color.

An unexpected zombie series

From Dawn of the Dead, we have understood zombies as terrifying beings to escape from. And as time has passed, this has translated into movies and series with gray tones, full of drama and very little humor, as seen in The Walking Dead. Even in manga, examples like I am a hero followed these norms.

But in Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, everything transforms completely. It uses a neon color palette that is completely surprising for the genre, and its tone focuses on entertainment and fun rather than pure drama and action. Undoubtedly, it is one of the current surprises.

Zom 100 tells the story of Akira Tendo, a twenty-something office worker at ZLM, who finds himself trapped in a meaningless and routine life. When the Zombie Apocalypse arrives, far from fearing it, Tendo sees an opportunity to break free from his mundane existence. He writes a “bucket list” of everything he wants to do before he dies, not only to experience it firsthand but also to prove that he is still alive and well.

NASAflix: The NASA-Backed Streaming Service for Space Enthusiasts

NASA will launch its own streaming service, focused on the space exploration missions it is carrying out and will carry out.

Certainly, today we can’t complain about the variety of streaming platforms available to us. The trend that Netflix started was followed by services like Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, SkyShowtime, and many more platforms (some of which are not available in Spain, like Peacock).

But nothing could have prepared us for the new contender in the streaming world: the most prominent space agency in the world, NASA.

NASA App DOWNLOAD

The U.S. space agency has announced through a press release that it will launch its next streaming platform later this year. The service, named NASA+, will offer everything from live broadcasts of space missions to exclusive series and films.

“We are putting space on demand and at your fingertips with NASA’s new streaming platform,” said Marc Etkind, Associate Administrator for Communications at NASA headquarters.

“The transformation of our digital presence will help us better tell the stories of how NASA explores the unknown in the air and space, inspires through discovery, and innovates for the benefit of humanity.”

Among the productions and channels coming to NASA Plus are NASA Talks, Space Out, The Color of Space, NASA Kids, NASA Explorers, WEBB Space Telescope, First Light, NASA en español, Lucy, Mars Is Hard, NASA Explorers: Osiris Rex, and Artemis I: Path to the Pad.

The agency has confirmed that NASA+ will be completely free and ad-free. Additionally, the service will be available on most major platforms through the NASA app on iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices; streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV; and on the web via mobile and desktop devices.

Hollywood’s Secret Stars: The Surprising Cameos in Oppenheimer’s Story

The collaboration between Barbie and Oppenheimer has become the viral event of the year. Each with their special characteristics, both films have managed to boost box office numbers that were previously in the dumps and make 2023 not as catastrophic for the film industry as expected.

As for Oppenheimer, the movie boasts many virtues, and one of the most striking is its cast. Starring Cillian Murphy, the main character from Peaky Blinders and a classic collaborator of Christopher Nolan, the film features some highly refined performances that undoubtedly have the potential to be contenders at the Oscars.

The most remarkable one, beyond Murphy’s performance, is Robert Downey Jr.‘s. The Iron Man actor has made a triumphant return by portraying the politician Lewis Strauss, and many are already saying that it could be the best performance of the year and, undoubtedly, of his career. The same goes for actresses like Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt, who deliver spectacular roles. However, there are many other famous actors who make appearances in the film and have, let’s say, somewhat secondary roles.

Below, we present all the surprising cameos and supporting roles by actors whom few expected to appear in the movie, but there they are.

Rami Malek

What? The star of Bohemian Rhapsody appears in Oppenheimer? Well, after watching the film, it’s evident that he does, but he has such a minor role that it’s surprising that he accepted it after winning an Oscar. But of course, it’s Christopher Nolan who called him… and with such a fascinating character, no less.

Even though he appears for just a few minutes and has limited dialogue, Rami Malek is responsible for one of the best plot twists in the movie. When he finally speaks, it’s clear that the casting choice was no coincidence. And even with little screen time, the way he performs is impressive.

Jack Quaid

Yes, Hughie is also here! The star of The Boys makes an appearance in Oppenheimer, once again with a rather minor role. Jack Quaid portrays Richard Feynman, co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. Even though he doesn’t have many lines, it’s endearing to see him on screen.

As a curious fact, every time he appears celebrating, he is playing timbales. A quite discordant note amidst the seriousness of Oppenheimer, but it makes it clear that Christopher Nolan is also not completely averse to having some fun.

Casey Affleck

Another actor who goes somewhat unnoticed but is there is Casey Affleck, the Oscar winner for Manchester by the Sea. As the brother of Ben Affleck and a regular collaborator of Christopher Nolan, it’s not surprising that the director has reserved a small cameo for him in Oppenheimer.

In this case, Affleck portrays Boris Pash, the commander of the Alsos Mission, who interrogated Oppenheimer about his association with the Communist Party. Despite having a minor role, with just four glances and remarks, he makes it very clear that he is a top-notch actor.

Gary Oldman

Gary Oldman is the most chameleon-like in the movie, and he couldn’t have been cast in any other role than as President Harry S. Truman. The Jim Gordon of The Dark Knight takes on the role of Truman, a character with only one scene, but as soon as we see Oldman, we quickly understand why no other actor could have done justice to the role.

Oldman delivers a sublime performance as an egotistical, brusque, and quick-witted man. While it’s unclear whether history teachers would agree with Truman’s portrayal, it’s evident that Oldman thoroughly enjoyed playing the character.

Matthew Modine

Matthew Modine, a classic Hollywood actor known for his roles in Full Metal Jacket and Notting Hill, also makes an appearance in this movie. The Stranger Things villain fills Oppenheimer with his commanding presence from his first appearance, and every time he appears, he does it again.

Modine plays the role of Vannevar Bush, one of the administrators in charge of the Manhattan Project. Undoubtedly, one of the many castings by Nolan that showcases his prowess as a director.

So many other actors…

“Oppenheimer” is Christopher Nolan’s most star-studded film, featuring a range of actors from major roles like Matt Damon, Kenneth Branagh, and Josh Hartnett to more modest appearances like Benny Safdie and Dane DeHaan, all of whom bring magic to the screen.

iOS 17 Unleashes AirDrop Awesomeness: Discover All the Exciting New Features

With all these new features, iOS 17 promises to redefine the way we use AirDrop, offering a more secure, integrated and user-friendly experience for all users.

Since its introduction in iOS 7, AirDrop has become the preferred tool for iPhone users who want to instantly share photos, videos, documents, and more with nearby Apple devices. Despite its popularity, AirDrop‘s functionality has remained relatively consistent over the years. However, that is about to change with the arrival of iOS 17, which brings several truly useful features to AirDrop.

iOS 17 DOWNLOAD

NameDrop: Goodbye to number exchange

The standout feature introduced by Apple in iOS 17 is NameDrop. Until now, when meeting someone and wanting to exchange contact information, it was necessary to type or dictate phone numbers and emails. Now, with NameDrop, this process is greatly simplified and becomes much more elegant. When two iPhones are brought close together – and in the future, it will also work with Apple Watches – the contact card of each user will appear.

A poster that we can set up with a photo of our choice and serves as our business card. Then, each person can choose which contact information to share, for example, only the work phone number or even just an email address.

A gesture redefines sharing

The same proximity between iPhones that is used for NameDrop also allows us to share content such as photos or files. Instead of having to enter the AirDrop interface and manually search for the person we want to send the content to, the process is now simplified.

When the two phones are brought close together, the transfer is automatically initiated through AirDrop, eliminating the step – which is prone to errors – of manually selecting the desired recipient.

SharePlay: Sharing experiences in real time

Bringing two iPhones close together will also allow us to initiate shared activities through SharePlay. Want to listen to a song or watch a movie at the same time with a friend? Now it’s possible in the easiest way imaginable. Moreover, thanks to the new SharePlay API, developers will be able to integrate this feature into their applications, allowing users to immerse themselves in the same game or enjoy a joint streaming experience with a simple gesture.

AirDrop without distance limits

One of the drawbacks of AirDrop in previous versions was the need to stay close to the receiving device to complete the transfer. In iOS 17, if we move away from the AirDrop range, the transfer will continue securely over the internet, as long as both users are signed in to an iCloud account.

Protection against sensitive content

AirDrop has always offered the option to accept or decline shared content. However, in some cases, the preview of the content, especially images, could be uncomfortable. Apple has addressed this issue in iOS 17 with a feature that automatically blurs potentially sensitive images. If we want to view the content before accepting it, we can simply press a “Show” button; otherwise, this filter will ensure that no explicit images appear on our screens at any time.

iOS 17 DOWNLOAD

With all these new features, iOS 17 promises to redefine how we use AirDrop, offering a safer, more integrated, and user-friendly experience for everyone. By improving key points of the experience, we gain significantly in versatility and, above all, convenience. When we add to this the high speed and efficiency of AirDrop, it’s undeniable that this technology is positioning itself as one of the most powerful and versatile tools in the Apple ecosystem. As we await what devices like the Vision Pro can do with it, soon one of the standout features of iOS 17 will become even better.

Meta’s Quirky Idea: Reanimating Abraham Lincoln via Threads Platform

Meta will launch numerous AI chatbots with different “personalities” in September this year, in an attempt to win back users…

As we mentioned yesterday, Meta is a bit concerned about their new social network called Threads. This app, which perfectly imitates Twitter, managed to attract 100 million users in its first 5 days. However, it has been deflating since then.

Threads DOWNLOAD

Although for Mark Zuckerberg, this decline is normal, the reality is that Threads showed great promise at its launch, and the lack of tools and utilities has gradually led to its decline.

To regain users and increase the customer base, Meta has several ideas they believe can work. Beyond introducing options that already exist on Twitter, they are talking about introducing distinctive innovations.

A chatbot that will mimic celebrities… even dead ones

Meta will launch numerous artificial intelligence chatbots with different “personalities” in September of this year, in an attempt to regain interest in other products of the social media giant.

According to the Financial Times, these chatbots have been in preparation for some time with the goal of having more human-like conversations with users to increase engagement on social media.

The attempt to give various chatbots different personalities seems similar to the social AI chatbot seen in Snapchat’s “My AI” earlier this year, which generated some excitement but quickly faded away.

According to the report, Meta is even considering a chatbot that speaks like Abraham Lincoln, as well as one that offers travel advice in the style of a West Coast surfer.

These new tools are poised to provide new search features and offer recommendations, similar to how the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT is used.

This new series of AI chatbots may be an attempt to remain relevant, as the company may be focused on maintaining attention after Threads lost over half of its user base just a couple of weeks after its launch in early July.

Meta’s long-running “metaverse” project also doesn’t seem to have generated enough interest, and the company shifted its focus to AI as its main area of investment in March. It appears that Facebook is unsure about the future direction.

Australian Space Agency Dispels Speculations on Extraterrestrial Object Sighting

The Australian Space Agency has managed to identify the mysterious object that washed up on its shores in mid-July.

In mid-July, a mysterious object appeared on the shores of Australia and left everyone astonished. At that time, no one knew for sure what this strange metal boat located on Green Head beach could be, but the mystery has reportedly been solved this week.

NASA App DOWNLOAD

The Australian Space Agency tweeted yesterday that the mysterious object is almost certainly the discarded third stage of an Indian rocket. Specifically, the strange object is believed to be from a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), a medium-lift rocket regularly launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

According to ISRO, the third stage of the PSLV is a “solid rocket motor that provides high thrust to the upper stages after the atmospheric phase of the launch.” The Australian Space Agency stated in their thread that it is “most likely debris” from a discarded PSLV, but there is still no exact confirmation.

The debris remains under storage, and the Australian Space Agency is working with ISRO, which will provide further confirmations to determine the next steps, including examining obligations under the United Nations space treaties,” said the space agency.

The Australian Space Agency also emphasizes its commitment to the long-term sustainability of activities in outer space, including debris reduction, and continues to address this aspect on the international stage.

Indeed, with the recent statements from three former US military personnel (and the Pentagon’s response), many people thought that this mysterious object could be of extraterrestrial origin. However, reality once again crushes the dreams of those who “want to believe.” At least one thing is certain (or almost certain): it came from space, no doubt about that.

Mark Your Calendars: August Brings Two Supermoons: Sturgeon and Blue Moons

This month you will be able to see not one, but two supermoons in the night sky: the Sturgeon Moon and the Blue Moon. An event that does not happen very often.

Cosmic enthusiasts, get ready for an exciting August. If you were able to witness the magnificence of the Buck Moon last month, this month you will not only have the chance to see another supermoon with your own eyes, but two. Yes, you read that right, two supermoons in the same month.

NASA App DOWNLOAD

On the night of Tuesday, August 1, you have a date with the Sturgeon Moon, an impressive supermoon whose peak will occur at 20:32 (Spanish peninsular time) and whose brightness will be fully visible throughout Europe, the UK, Africa, and the Middle East, looking towards the southeast.

For the other supermoon of this hot August, we will have to wait until the end of the month. On the night of August 30 to 31, we will be able to see the Blue Moon, an even more extraordinary supermoon. The Blue Moon will be the second full moon of the month, a very rare astronomical event (normally there is only one full moon per month) that occurs every two and a half years.

Indeed, if you don’t want to miss this fascinating Blue Moon, you’ll need to stay vigilant on the night of August 31, as you can witness this spectacular moon at its peak at 3:36 (Spanish peninsular time). Of course, this is subject to favorable weather conditions. Mark your calendars and keep an eye on the skies for this rare astronomical event!

What is a supermoon?

According to Dr Shannon Schmoll, director of Michigan State University’s Abrams Planetarium, a supermoon occurs when the Moon appears slightly larger in our sky. “Since the Moon revolves around the Earth, it is not a perfect circle. So there are points in its orbit where it is a little closer to or a little further from Earth,” he explains.

SpaceX Unveils Cutting-Edge System to Ensure Safe Spacecraft Launches

Rockets and spaceships always have a critical point: takeoff. It is common to see them explode into flames and that is why SpaceX have devised…

SpaceX has released stunning footage showcasing tests of a new water deluge system designed to mitigate damages caused by its powerful Starship rocket during liftoff from the launch platform.

NASA App DOWNLOAD

The next-generation Starship vehicle consists of the first-stage Super Heavy booster and the upper-stage Starship spacecraft, collectively known as Starship.

With 7 tons of thrust, Starship is the most powerful rocket ever built.

A safety measure to prevent the launch pad from disintegrating

SpaceX tested the Starship in an ill-fated first flight back in April. Upon liftoff, the platform disintegrated, unable to withstand the immense heat and force generated by the 33 Raptor engines of the rocket.

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, recently revealed that the company has built what he described as a “megasteel plate” to protect the launch platform.

The plate is combined with the water deluge system and is designed to “protect against the immense heat and force of Starship’s launch.” Here we can see the water being poured during a recent test at SpaceX’s launch site in Boca Chica, Texas.

SpaceX also shared a stunning image capturing the moment the water is shot out, and provided a closer look at the system in action in slow motion.

After the starship exploded mid-flight during its inaugural flight due to an unexpected anomaly, SpaceX is eager to send its rocket soaring into the sky on its second test flight in the coming months.

But following the recent water deluge system test, CNBC reported that SpaceX has not yet obtained an environmental permit to discharge industrial process waters into the area surrounding the launch platform, according to the federal Clean Water Act.

However, it is not entirely clear whether SpaceX actually needs the permit, as it would depend on the nature and quantity of contaminants mixed with the rocket water during liftoff, and where that water ends up.

Indeed, whether this will be a problem that delays the next starship launch remains to be seen. SpaceX is also awaiting approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which grounded the Starship after the April test while conducting an investigation into the failed test flight.

Once fully tested, the Starship could potentially transport crews and cargo to the Moon and even Mars. However, there are still many steps in between to see that become a reality.
