Connect your Mobile Phone to a Faster Broadband Connection

The majority of today's Android games, if not all of them, need some kind of online connection to play. Your gaming experience may be improved by using a quicker internet connection, and this is particularly true while playing online multiplayer games such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, and other similar titles. Therefore, you should always go for a connection to the internet that is both dependable and quick.

Manually Change your Refresh Rate to a Higher Setting

You have the ability to increase the screen refresh rate on almost all recent Android phones, which ultimately results in superior images and more fluid animations. When you are playing highly visual games like Apex Legends, Asphalt, Grid etc, the screen refresh rate will be very important. You can alter your screen refresh rate by going to the settings, display and then pressing on motion smoothness.

Reduce Background Application Activities

Another method to boost your gaming performance on your Android device without requiring root access is to restrict the number of applications that are running in the background. If you close all background applications, your device will be able to allocate more resources to the game that you are now playing, which will result in an improved experience.

ELECTION DAY FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE BLOOD BEAVER MOON!

 


November’s full Beaver Moon reaches peak illumination in the morning hours of Tuesday, November 8—Election Day! In addition, the Beaver Moon will also be plunged into a total lunar eclipse! 

Space: On Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022, the moon will pass through the shadow of Earth resulting in a total lunar eclipse that will be from Oceania, the Americas, Asia, and Northern Europe.

The eclipse will begin at 4:10 a.m. EST (0810 GMT) and will end at approximately 7:49 a.m. EDT (1149 GMT) when the moon once again emerges. The total eclipse period is shorter than this, however, and will last from 5:17 a.m. EST (0917 GMT) to 6:42 a.m. EST (1042 GMT).

As the moon is in Earth's shadow, light from the sun is blocked making the moon appear less bright. As the eclipse proceeds, the moon's disk will eventually appear unilluminated directly by the Sun but some light still hits the moon.

KING CRIMSON AT 50: NEW FILM BY TOBY AMIES


King Crimson’s “In The Court Of The Crimson King – King Crimson At 50” Documentary By Toby Amies Blu-Ray/DVD Set Available November 18th

Also available as Limited Edition 8 disc boxed set from 2nd December

Described by Variety magazine as “really about as good as rock documentaries get,” the long-awaited, official King Crimson documentary by Toby Amies will be released in physical form on Nov 18th as a 2 Disc Blu-Ray/DVD set. An 8 Disc boxed set containing 2 Blu-Rays, 2 DVDs and 4 CDs will follow on December 2nd.

The 8 Disc boxed set includes the full King Crimson film, an early edited version of the film, a live concert from the 50th anniversary tour and a unique camera-only performance, plus a plethora of additional footage. 8 discs packaged in 4 miniature gatefold sleeves, with a 48-page booklet housed in a rigid outer case. Booklet includes notes from film director Toby Amies, David Singleton and Robert Fripp. Also includes the music from the original soundtrack and more, over 4 CDs, many tracks previously unreleased and/or new to CD.

The 2 Disc Blu-Ray/DVD set includes the full documentary film, an early edited version of the film, the final performance of the classic “Starless” from the band’s final ever concert in Tokyo, Japan in December 2021 and four trailers/shorts.

King Crimson has been described as popular but never populist. Just as King Crimson has been, for more than half a century, an atypical rock band, this film is a refreshingly atypical music documentary.

Toby Amies’ film about one of rock music’s most enduring, but simultaneously elusive, bands, “In The Court of the Crimson King – King Crimson at 50” provides a unique insight into the working process of a complex touring band, interspersed with contributions from previous band members to provide a contextual backdrop to the band’s past, as the most recent (2014-2021) line-up tours the world just before and during its 50th anniversary.

As King Crimson producer and band manager, David Singleton observed of the film: “All of life is here, not just music, and certainly not just rock. It has rightly been described as going beyond King Crimson into a ‘universal, inspirational study of what it is to work or dream to work as an artist.’”

While director Toby Amies writes of the experience: “In the Court of the Crimson King is not a film that wants to tell the audience what to think, rather it presents several different points of view about the creative process and what it means to be in this most unusual band; leaving the audience with a sense of both how complicated it all is, but also just how incredibly rewarding the King Crimson experience is both for the musicians and its fans.”

Robert Fripp announced that King Crimson had “moved from sound to silence” on social media after their final date in Japan in December 2021, making this release all the more poignant as a unique record of the band’s longest-lasting line-up with tantalizing glimpses of the band’s history.

FINISHED YOUR FAVORITE SHOW? HERE ARE NEW WAYS TO SPEND YOUR TIME



Finished Your Favourite Show? Here are Some Ways to Spend Your New Found Time

There is nothing better than getting invested in a show that you love. Getting home and looking forward to sitting down with the series seems simple, but it can be one of the best parts of the week. However, no TV show can go on forever. They must come to an end at some stage, and it can leave you with an almost empty feeling after that finale rolls.


After all, you would have spent so much of your free time devoted to this show – so much so that you might not even be able to remember what you were doing in your free time prior to starting the show. If this is something that has occurred to you, take on board the following suggestions for entertainment!

Gaming

Gaming is one of the best ways to fill up your spare time. There are endless possibilities when it comes to the gaming world, so you probably have a very hard time getting bored of this highly popular pastime.

If you are someone who is not currently invested in the world of gaming, then don’t worry – there’s plenty of opportunity, even for beginners. You don’t need to grow up gaming in order to understand or enjoy the hobby. It is something that is very easy to get involved in, and you can start any time at any age.


Plus, there are myriads of genres to try. From MMORPGs and shooting games to puzzles, survival games, simulators, and casino games on Unibet’s online casino in the US, there are tons to sample, so the world is your oyster as a beginner in the gaming industry.

Exercise

If you have been spending all of your free time doing nothing except watching your show, then there is a good chance that you have been neglecting your fitness. Fitness is something everyone should work hard at when it comes to their lifestyle.

If you cannot maintain adequate fitness regularly, your health can suffer in more ways than one. Both your mental and physical health are likely not as peak as they were when you were regularly exercising.

This means it might be time for you to start investing more time into getting fit and healthy once again – or for the first time if you have always neglected this part of your wellbeing. It’s never too late to begin a fitness journey!

Develop Good Habits

Fitness is an example of a good habit. However, it is not the only one. With all of this newfound free time, there are many different good habits that you can work towards developing. Getting creative is one example.

Being able to express yourself and work on art is a healthy objective. As well as this, regular cleaning might not be the most fun way to pass the time, but it is productive. When you get into this habit, it avoids the need to do a long, deep clean of your home, and it prevents your abode from getting too messy and dirty.

Practicing mindfulness is also something that you should try out with the likes of meditation and yoga – these two can work wonders for your emotional health and teach you how to better deal with stress.

5 TIPS FOR CREATING YOUR OWN MINECRAFT SERVER


Minecraft's single-player gameplay is one of the most relaxing experiences a gamer can have. The player is into a river of joy when defeating the Ender Dragon for the first time. 

However, the player soon discovers that playing with other players is twice as much fun. Minecraft servers have been in operation since the game's release in 2011. There are numerous servers for the game, each with a unique experience and a plethora of game modes. 

The best thing about minecraft servers is they get created by any player. Here are some pointers for players who want to start their servers.

1. Use the Essentials plugin at your own risk:

The Essentials plugin is popular among both players and servers. It includes many cool features such as teleportation, chat and nickname customization, the ability for moderators to control all server performance, mute, jail, temporary privilege ban, and more. Along with commerce and business, there is also an economic system.

However, it is strongly advisable that gamers no longer use this plugin. It is due to a variety of factors, including:
  • It includes plugins that gamers will not always require.
  • The plugins created using it interfere with other plugins.
  • Many of the necessities plugin's capabilities can destroy any statistics packs.
  • Errors are common.It corrupts instructions and renders many of them inaccessible.
2. Servers can benefit from plugins:

Minecraft has a plethora of commands that can get used to add a variety of features to an online server. On the other hand, plugins get used to automatically add new features to a Minecraft servers, such as creating roles or team prefixes. Plugins enable the creation and modification of helpful commands.

3. Test everything:

It is one of the crucial tasks for any server owner. The host downloads and installs a variety of specific functions when creating a new server. These features can include plugins, data packs, and a variety of other add-ons. 

As a result, it's critical to examine this add-on fabric in a secure environment, such as a single-participant international, to discover any bugs or system flaws that may arise from them.

4. Sub servers are essential:

Sub servers are private servers that moderators, administrators, hosts, and guest players can use. The players must first navigate the prime server network to join a sub server. Never join these sub servers directly from the server list. Secondary servers enable hosts to distribute players across multiple locations, reducing the load on the primary server.

5. The host must create their content:

There are numerous plugins and data packs available for Minecraft servers. However, there is a good chance that these plugins or data packs will interfere with the host server's configuration and design. As a result, players should think about creating (coding) their data packs and plugins.

While Minecraft players can run the server and edit feature settings. While the server is online, this can cause a lot of disconnects and issues such as server lags, crashes, or crashes that can cause players to crash their items, die, lose progress, and so on.

YOUR GUIDE TO ROULETTE EQUIPMENT


If you’ve decided that roulette is your game of choice, regardless of how much experience you have with it, it’ll do you well to understand the equipment that you need to start enjoying this game to its absolute fullest. Of course, while the game of roulette itself might be quite simple (in theory), there are many different bits and pieces that you can acquire when it comes to allowing you to play the actual game, so you might find this stage to be overall more complicated.

Taking the time to research your options here might illuminate new ways of playing the game that you hadn’t expected. You might have simply thought that you’d have to visit a casino to experience this game, but you might find that your options are far more varied.

Your Very Own Smartphone

The first thing that’s important to understand when it comes to talking about roulette equipment is the role that your smartphone can play. In the modern age, activities such as roulette have been digitized, and the online forms that have emerged present you with a far more convenient alternative to their physical equivalent. Of course, there are arguments to be made on either side about which is ultimately superior, but a large part of that answer will be subjective, meaning that you won’t know for sure until you try it.

So, where to begin? 

Making searches such as online roulette real money might be a good place to begin, and it’s important that you find an outlet that you can trust before you begin properly – but once you have, you know that you’ve got a way of connecting with your hobby whenever it is convenient to you.
 
The Wheel

If you do have your heart set on the physical variant of this game, the most important piece of the puzzle will quite definitely be the wheel itself. It might be that you expected this to take the form of an enormous table that will dominate whichever space you ultimately decide to place it, but fortunately, you might be able to find several more manageable variants that are also portable. 

Knowing this and understanding that you might be able to pack everything that you need to play this game in a small bag or case means that you can begin to introduce this game at parties or similar gatherings.

The Betting Mat

While the wheel itself provides the core of the game, the betting mat is still an essential piece of the puzzle. While this is something that could potentially be recreated through your own means, such as with a pen and paper, going the extra mile and having that air of authenticity to the whole experience could be something that actively enhances it for everybody involved. 

If you find that this is something that you want to play with during social occasions, doing everything that you can to make it a positive and engaging time could help to ensure its success. When you’re thinking about the betting mat, make sure you don’t forget the chips.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR MONEY SAFE WHEN GAMING ONLINE


How to Keep Your Money Safe When Gaming Online

Millions of people across the country love playing games online. While some people love playing purely for a thrill, others part with their money to get the ultimate experience. When playing with real money, you need to ensure your details are kept safe online. The last thing you want is for your financial details to be placed into the wrong hands. Whatever online games you play, here are some handy tips on how to keep your money safe and away from cybercriminals.

Choose Reputable Platforms

When playing online games, it is vital that you find the right kind of platforms, especially if you want to spend money. You want to ensure that you aren’t getting scammed, after all. This applies to all types of gaming, but especially in the casino world. 

When you are looking to wager real money in casino games, you should compare different gambling sites at gambleonline.co. You can look at whether you get any additional bonuses for choosing this site. 

Most importantly, though, you can learn who is reputable and trustworthy. There are always new online casinos popping up, but you can look at comparison sites that have already separated the good ones from the bad to make this easy. Always check out ratings and reviews from other players before deciding on a gaming platform. That way, you can be confident your details are kept confidential.
 
Use Strong Passwords

If you enjoy gaming online, you should always make sure to use an array of passwords. Some gamers make the mistake of using the same password for their accounts and online banking. This means should a cyber criminal gain access to your gaming account, they won’t have too much trouble logging into your bank account either. 

You don’t want to lose money, so make sure to use strong passwords that are hard to crack. A general rule of thumb is to never use ‘password’ as your password!

Never Use Public Wi-Fi


For those who are always on the go, you may want to play online games to pass the time. Whether you’re in a café, hotel, or on public transport, you should refrain from using public Wi-Fi to play. This is because you can never be too sure about who is around you and see what you’re doing. It’s wise to stick to your cell phone data instead or wait until you’re home to play online games.
 
Be Careful Who You’re Talking To

One of the great benefits of online gaming is the opportunity to engage with people from all four corners of the planet. When conversing with a player, you need to be wary about what you disclose. You may not think there’s any harm in sharing your name and where you live, but cybercriminals can piece these details together and potentially gain access to your account. Therefore, keep your wits about you when playing and you should have a good experience.
 
Install Anti-Malware Software

No matter how careful you are when online gaming, all it takes is to click a dodgy link and find your device has been infected with malware. To stop malware from destroying your computer and stealing private information, it’s recommended to install anti-malware software. This will add an extra layer of protection to your online gaming.

When playing online games, you’ll want to know your money is safe and secure. To do just that, all the tips above can help keep you protected.

SENTIMENTAL JUNK: NEW LP FROM GUITARIST TOM GUERRA!


“Sentimental Junk” is the fifth solo album from songwriter/guitarist Tom Guerra, and it marks its debut on the indie label Thin Man Music on March 22, 2022. 

Prior releases include 2020's “Sudden Signs of Grace," ”American Garden” (2018), "Trampling Out the Vintage” (2016), and “All of the Above”  (2014). 
 
According to Guerra “this is a back to the roots thing for me...my last album featured a lot of acoustic tunes but this record reflects my renewed love affair with the electric guitar and the pent-up energy that being in lockdown for two years brings.” 
 
The first single off the album, “California’s Got to My Girl” is an R&B-based vocal duet with legendary Boston musician Jon Butcher. Recalling the golden era of Seventies soul, the track is already getting regional airplay. 
 
Said the Grammy-nominated Butcher, "As someone lucky enough to have rubbed shoulders with some of the finest players in the world, I am proud to call Tom Guerra a friend and fellow brother-in-arms. I highly recommend "Sentimental Junk" as a must-hear for anyone digging on guitar music... Like me!" 
 
In addition to the ten new original songs contained on "Sentimental Junk,” the record features a cover of “Clean Cut Kid,” a 1983 Bob Dylan song. Said Guerra “I loved Dylan’s ‘Clean Cut Kid’ though I was curious to see how it might fare with a   harder, straight-ahead rock and roll arrangement.” 
 
Longtime collaborator Kenny Aaronson (Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Billy Idol, The Yardbirds, etc.) not only contributes bass to this effort but also arranged the horns and strings on two of the songs. 

According to Aaronson, "Tom is a great songwriter. He has great pop sensibilities, and I really like his way of crafting a melody. He is a sensitive and keen observer of the human condition as one will hear in his lyrics." 
 
Several tracks on the new album are harder-edged, guitar-based rock and roll numbers, and "Eyes of the World," Guerra’s tribute to Leslie West, features a reunion with his longtime Mambo Sons bandmate, singer Scott Lawson Pomeroy. 
 
Other tracks, including “Think for Yourself,” “A Song for Mark Easton” (written about Tom's bandmate who died of Covid-19), and the aforementioned “California’s Got to My Girl” have strong roots in blues and R&B. 

Recorded two years into the Covid-19 pandemic, Guerra (former Mambo Sons guitarist and Vintage Guitar Magazine writer) says that he finds writing therapeutic. “Being stuck inside for a couple years made us all a little restless, and I think that energy comes across on this record. It’s a good feeling to write, and people need music, especially during times like these.”

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MOVIE TIE-IN VIDEO GAME RELEASES?


Whatever Happened to Movie Tie-in Video Game Releases?

The gaming industry has undergone several phases during its tenure, and many gamers across the world look back on them with a certain amount of rosy-flavoured nostalgia. Many people will remember a time in the 2000s when movie tie-in games were all the rage, though they have since declined in recent years. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it is interesting why these types of games suddenly just disappeared. There will be very few people who say that these video games are bad, and in fact, many of these movie tie-in games were exceptionally good – Spider-Man 2 is a great example of this.

In recent years, the video game industry has grown by an incredible amount, likely due to online gaming which is without a doubt the most popular activity in the gaming world. Similar growth can also be seen in other industries, such as gambling and this rise can be attributed to the presence of online gambling sites such as Juicy Vegas casino, though there are many more options for players to access online.

In the past, the film industry and video game industry were romantically intertwined. Many blockbusters out of Hollywood would also drop with a video game adaption to either market the film itself, or to give people more content to experience within that universe. A good example of this is the Harry Potter movie tie-in games, and there has been one game for every movie in the franchise. This used to be the world order, but for some reason during the late 2000s, movie tie-in games simply faded into obscurity.

Interestingly, this was a time when the video game industry had one of the most creative outbursts ever, as original franchises such as Bioshock, Mass Effect and much more were birthed around this time. Given the outrageous success of some of these series, it likely became clear to developers that it was better to spend more time creating new games than making those tie-ins for movie studios.

When the actual process of developing video games is understood, it becomes even clearer why movie tie-in games died out. Many might be familiar with the concept of ‘crunch’. In the gaming industry, this is a period close to the release of the game where developers are expected to work overtime to get the video game finished on time. As developers would have had a set time to work on movie tie-in games, often within a year, this meant that these games would have had to be rushed often, resulting in subpar products. For developers, it was far easier to create their games on their own time which could explain the shift from movie tie-ins to original titles.

Given the nature of movie tie-in games, it should be clear why they no longer appeal to people. The vast majority of them are inherently single-player only, and these arrived during a time when online gaming was beginning to become immensely popular with gamers with titles such as Call of Duty being released around this time. While there are many more reasons why movie tie-ins have faded, it is clear that they are unlikely to ever come back, except the odd few like 2019s Jumanji.

MEMOIR OF A RASCAL: FELIX CAVALIERE'S NEW AUTOBIOGRAPHY!


MEMOIR OF A RASCAL –

FELIX CAVALIERE ANNOUNCES AUTOBIOGRAPHY

NASHVILLE, TENN., February 22, 2022: Music lovers of yesterday and today recognize that distinctive voice and that iconic intro in an instant: One, two, three! Sharing his stories—from his first classical piano lessons in his childhood home of Pelham, New York, through his years topping the charts, and to his inductions into the Rock & Roll, Songwriter, Vocal Group, Grammy and Musicians Halls of Fame—celebrated songwriter and singer Felix Cavaliere is pleased to announce his autobiography, “Memoir of a Rascal,” releasing March 22 via Ingram Spark. Cavaliere’s career, which spans over a half-century, is a testament to rock ‘n’ roll: he writes about being galvanized by the new sound legendary disc jockey Alan Freed bought to WINS radio in New York, the pain of losing his mother when he was only 13, his wild ride with Joey Dee and The Starlighters, taking the stage at the famed Hamptons, New York club The Barge and becoming the King of Blue-Eyed Soul© with one of America’s early rock bands. Few artists can claim they defined a generation; Cavaliere’s message of peace, love and happiness endures in his music and is likewise threaded through his autobiography, a reminder to never stop listening for the world’s beauty.

“Memoir of a Rascal…From Pelham, NY To The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame” features a forward by famed rock ‘n’ roll deejay Cousin Brucie. The cover is an original photograph by Linda McCartney taken during The Rascals’ New York City’s The Phone Booth concert. Cavaliere’s gregarious writing is enhanced by heartfelt memories of the magic of the Rascals, his spiritual journey and guru Swami Satchidananda’s life-changing influence, and professional accomplishments like being named to the Musicians Hall of Fame. A bold memoir that touches laughter, loss, lawsuits and love, “Memoir of a Rascal” is a firsthand account of rock ‘n’ roll history from a man recognized as one if its most celebrated artists—but who also sees himself as one of the genre’s biggest fans.

Fans can also expect Cavaliere’s new album, “Then & Now,” to arrive at the end of summer 2022.

“I know fans have been asking me for years to finish my autobiography,” Cavaliere said. “This is for the fans. It’s a blessing to revisit memories and hopefully, my story can inspire the next generation of singers and songwriters.”

With No. 1 songs like “Good Lovin’”, “Groovin’”, “A Beautiful Morning”, “I’ve Been Lonely Too Long”, “People Got To Be Free” and “How Can I Be Sure”, The Rascals are considered the best ‘blue-eyed soul’ group to come out of the 1960s. For Cavaliere, making people feel good is fundamental to his illustrious career that includes the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Songwriter Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Grammy Hall of Fame and Musicians Hall of Fame. 

As a solo artist, Cavaliere connected with a new generation of fans with his hit “Only A Heart Sees” in 1979, and in 2008 Cavaliere worked with Steve Cropper on the Grammy-nominated “Nudge It Up A Notch.” In 2019, Cavaliere was inducted into the Musicians Hall Of Fame. Cavaliere is a 2022 recipient of the Free Speech in Music Award presented by Middle Tennessee University and in April embarks on a Legends Live Tour with Micky Dolenz of The Monkees in select markets.
