Each new console generation takes controllers to new places and the 5th generation of Sony’s playstation is proof of that. It was reported this week that Sony has filed a patent for an accessory that players would attach to a Playstation 5 controller for the purpose of acquiring feedback for one’s health measurements. These measurements could include things like heart rate, & sweat, with the purpose of tailoring gameplay around them.
According to the patent, Sony wants to use your heart rate and sweat production as “biofeedback” signals in games. The patent says this could lead to a more immersive experience. For example, a game could plug into the stats collected by the DualShock 5 to adjust the gameplay. As you get more anxious or excited, a game could ramp up the action. Or if you’re exceptionally calm, a game could throw something surprising at you.
The patent's description goes on to state that the reason behind the add-on is to keep up with the ever-evolving arms race that is the gaming industry. “There is a desire in computer gaming to provide an immersive and highly interactive experience for players, so as to enhance the enjoyment of the player,” Sony says within the description. “This has become of particular interest with the increasing availability of head-mountable displays (HMDs), which are provided with the intention of fully immersing a player in the in-game environment.”
Look for Playstation 5 to be released prior to Holiday 2020.
Harvey Weinstein Rushed To Hospital For Chest Pain

The Harvey Weinstein scandal has been one of the major headlines in Hollywood for the last couple of years, kicking off the #MeToo movement before, yesterday, a sigh of relief was breathed by some of his accusers when the film producer was found guilty of third-degree rape and a felony sex crime. The same jury that found him guilty on those counts acquitted him of the other charges that would have forced him to serve a life sentence in prison. Not even twenty-four hours have passed and Harvey Weinstein seemingly cannot handle the pressure, being rushed to the hospital with chest pains and heart palpitations.

Amanda Bynes Gets Another New Face Tattoo
Amanda Bynes gets a second heart tattoo on her face after the first one was criticized for being “crooked.”
The curious case of Amanda Bynes, former child star, keeps getting weirder and weirder as it has just been revealed that she went and got even more ink added to her face. The actress is currently enrolled in college and is also working on a fashion line, so she’s clearly still doing pretty well for herself. While she has taken a step back from the spotlight, she continues to create headlines because of her bizarre behavior, which has included substance abuse issues, that one tweet about Drake, and more. Before she announced her engagement to her fiancé (who has still never met her parents, apparently), Bynes re-emerged on social media with a noticeable change in her appearance, sporting a large heart face tattoo on her left cheek.

While it was unclear whether or not her face tat was the real deal, it’s remained on her visage for the last couple of months so that’s proof enough of its permanence. Taking to Instagram today, the 33-year-old seemingly showed off another new marking on her face.
“Sup, Instagram. Just wanted to say hi to all of my followers. I really wanted to say I appreciate you guys so much for supporting me,” said Bynes, debuting another face tattoo of a filled-in heart above her left eyebrow. “Wanted to check in, let you know that I’m out to dinner right now with my friend, Kathy, who’s a student advisor at FIDM, my college. I’m really looking forward to starting my clothing line, and I’m hoping that in the near future it will be out online.”
First and foremost, congratulations to Amanda for her work in school and on her upcoming design collection. Are y’all feeling her new tattoo though?
Amanda Bynes’ Possible New Face Tattoo Is Crooked & Quite Large
Amanda Bynes wears her heart on her sleeve… and her face.
Amanda Bynes has had her ups and downs throughout the decade, ending up in rehab several times and seemingly going off the rails in a very public breakdown. People are fascinated by the former child star. Her acting resume has not been updated in years but she remains a high-profile celebrity, garnering attention from all corners of the internet. Last night, the star uploaded a new photo of herself, which ended up confusing her fans, mainly because of the new ink on her cheek.
It would appear as though Amanda Bynes went and got herself a face tattoo to end the year, starting the decade with love on her mind cheek. Updating her followers from what appears to be a family dinner, Bynes debuted the possible new ink on her face, which shows the crooked outline of a heart on the left side of her face. It has not been confirmed whether this is a temporary or permanent addition to her look but Bynes wouldn’t be alone in copping some new designs for her face this year. Her fellow child star Aaron Carter debuted a gigantic portrait of Rihanna as Medusa on his visage, shocking the world several months ago.
Much like Carter, Bynes’ work does not appear to be very well-done. In fact, the lines are lop-sided, leading some fans to take this as a cry for help. Do you think she is in trouble?
