Madden 19 goes for emotion again, but what it needs most is to be portable
I'm sitting on my sofa, Xbox One controller in hand, playing Madden 19. I'm playing Longshot mode -- it's the second storyline mode that EA Sports has added to its annual NFL game.
I didn't play Longshot when it was introduced last year. It didn't interest me at all. I play Madden as a way to learn about the NFL season, and model future games that my favorite troubled team, the New York Jets, might play. I play it as penance for a weird childhood going to Jets games I only half liked, and an adulthood where I've become addicted to following the team my dad used to love before he died.
Madden and I are old friends.
I'm playing Madden even though the NFL has become a bizarre landscape. And I no longer have season tickets to Jets games. And I find it harder to care about any of it in the real world.

21 awesome video games you can finish in one evening
Longshot: Homecoming ended up sucking me in. I think it's because I didn't expect it to be so much like a movie. It's more storyline than gameplay, and it's heavy on the cliches. But I ended up finding it unexpectedly dramatic and emotional.
It stars Ron Cephas Jones as the coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Friday Night Lights' Scott Porter as a player who feels a lot like his character on Friday Night Lights and even, weirdly, Rob Schneider as the Cowboys' general manager. The cast is generally great. The music is well done. It worked for me -- even though the simple storyline paralleling the NFL preseason and two players trying to make a roster seems pretty basic.
Somewhere in the middle of Ron Cephas Jones' heartfelt soliloquy on aging and parenthood, I shed a tear.

Steve Jobs lied to his daughter about name of the Apple Lisa
It might seem obvious that the Apple Lisa, released in 1983, was named for Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' daughter Lisa, who was born in 1978.
But in her upcoming memoir, Small Fry, Lisa Brennan-Jobs reveals that her father lied to her about the name up until she was 27, and it was U2 front man Bono who exposed the truth.
In the fascinating and emotional excerpt, published in the September issue of Vanity Fair, Brennan-Jobs discusses her complicated relationship with her famous father, who denied paternity until a 1980 DNA test proved otherwise.

Doom creator John Carmack's thoughts on Steve Jobs are a must read
As for the Lisa, it was a commercial failure, with 3,000 unsold computers later buried in a Utah landfill. When Brennan-Jobs bragged to her school friends about her namesake, they responded that they'd never heard of a computer called Lisa. But for Brennan-Jobs, the belief that it was named for her could bring her closer to the famous man who was, in some ways, more legend than family member.
When she was in high school, she finally asked him about it. "I tried to sound like I was curious, nothing more," she writes. "If he would just give me this one thing."
But Jobs denied it in a "clipped, dismissive voice," she says, adding, "Sorry, kid."

You are utilizing two unique sorts of media for going down; your outside drive and your "cloud drive", which is Dropbox or a comparable administration. What's more, you are utilizing an off-site reinforcement, with this again being Dropbox.
And after that there is Step 3
As a computerized migrant, you should go above and beyond to completely take after our Rule of 3. This is on account of the web is in many cases temperamental as we change between nations, areas, or when we go off voyaging.
Furthermore, there is one basic solution for this.
Snatch a high-limit USB thumb drive. The 128GB SanDisk Cruzer is a strong decision, and can be found on Amazon for under $30 dollars.
Reserve it independently from where you keep your tablet and outer drive at whatever point conceivable.
At the point when the web is too moderate for matching up with Dropbox for a day or more, you'll need to duplicate your latest record changes to your USB stick toward the day's end.
It's a straightforward strategy, yet it will give you the true serenity of realizing that your photographs and most vital PC records are by and large securely ensured.
