RHOC - The Tres Amigas Had To Google 'Ernest Hemingway' And Fans Are Losing Their Minds

During the most recent episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, the ladies were in Key West, Florida for an all-girls getaway. And, when trip organizer Braunwyn Windham-Burke scheduled a field trip to the home of Ernest Hemingway, Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, and Shannon Beador – AKA the “tres amigas” – had no idea who Hemingway was. And, they went straight to Google to figure it out. RHOC - The Tres Amigas Had To Google 'Ernest Hemingway' And Fans Are Losing Their Minds.
Windham-Burke, Kelly Dodd, and Emily Simpson were excited to visit Hemingway’s home, but the Tres Amigas immediately started complaining. Judge asked if Hemingway was hosting a dinner party for them, and Gunvalson hoped there would be “good coffee” ready when they arrived.
Eventually, Gunvalson Googled Hemingway, only to discover that the For Whom The Bell Tolls author wasn’t waiting for her with good coffee because he had been dead since 1961. Gunvalson explained that she had no idea who Hemingway was because he died before she was born, and she also wondered why he still had a house. Fans immediately lost their minds, and took to social media to let the Tres Amigas know they had zero tolerance for their literary ignorance.
“How can these women not know who Earnest Hemmingway is? Their ignorance is showing. Ugh. #RHOC,” wrote a disgusted fan, while another added, “I can’t believe only 1 out of 7 women knew who Earnest Hemmingway was? Vicky wondered why he still owned a house. Dumba** people …yes.”
Another fan wrote that watching the ladies try to figure out who Ernest Hemingway was via Google was actually making her dumber, and another asked if the ladies went to high school.
“So you’re going to tell me that these three morons never heard of Ernest Hemingway? Did you attend High School English class ever?? Watching this show has us surrounded by three imbeciles! Tres Dumba**es #RHOC,” wrote an angry fan.
Also in the episode, Gunvalson kicked her feud with Kelly Dodd up a notch when she handed out personalized rhinestone hats for the trip. Gunvalson’s said “Engaged AF” to celebrate Steve Lodge’s proposal, while the newly-divorced Beador had one that read “Divorced AF.”
Gina Kirschenheiter’s hat said “Single AF” after her split from husband Matt, Judge’s read “Married AF,” Emily Simpson’s was “Fun AF,” while Windham-Burke’s read “Wild AF.” When Gunvalson got to Dodd, she gave her a hat that said, “Krazy AF,” but Gunvalson justified it by saying she used a K, “so it’s not offensive.”
In her confessional, Dodd said that the Tres Amigas “want to poke the bear” and get a reaction out of her. She added that they thrive on making her angry. When they cut back to the hat giveaway, Dodd declined.
“I’m not wearing this f—— hat by the way. I’m not a group person,” says Dodd. “I’m tired of it!”
New episodes of Real Housewives of Orange County air Tuesday nights on Bravo.

Top Streamers TimTheTatman, DrLupo And Lirik Vowed Loyalty To Twitch In New Contract

Amidst streamers leaving Twitch for other streaming platforms, Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar, Benjamin “DrLupo” Lupo, and Saqib “LIRIK” Zahid will be staying on Twitch in a multi-year contract. The trio compensates for over 550 million unique views and about 10.36 million followers combined. Top Streamers TimTheTatman, DrLupo And Lirik Vowed Loyalty To Twitch In New Contract.
Loaded.gg, an influencer and streamer management company, facilitated the deals signed by the three personalities. Brandon Freytag, CEO of Loaded, said that the three streamers are at the core foundation of the Amazon-owned streaming platform. “We are excited to have each of them continue their success with Twitch in an even bigger way for more years to come.” Freytag also noted that all three streamers started in 2011-2012 and have built massive audiences for their respective channels. Loaded also oversees the careers of other big names such as Ninja, Shroud, and summit1g.
Reports of the said deals are estimated to reach millions of dollars per year to hold down these streamers from leaving Twitch.
“They’ve achieved a lot to date, and we’re thrilled to be able to partner with and invest in them so they can continue to build on that success in the future,” said Mike Aragon, Twitch’s senior VP of content and partnerships. He also stated that each of the streamers bring-in their unique personalities and styles that “resonates with their communities.”
DrLupo has 3.6 million Twitch followers and has peaked at 14,622 views. He plays mostly first-person shooter games recently, such as Fortnite and Escape from Tarkov. Lirik has well over 5 million viewer hours and has 89,939 at his peak viewers count. He plays a variety of games, including GTFO and CS:GO. Timthetatman started his channel playing different game genres but has mostly played FPS recently, such as Overwatch and Fortnite. He gathered 34,410 unique viewers at his peak stream.
The timely signing of these three gamers is in no doubt related to huge names leaving Twitch. Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek both switched platforms signing exclusive contracts with Mixer, Microsoft’s streaming platform. CouRage, a top streamer on Twitch, has also moved to YouTube Gaming. Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang chose to support Facebook Gaming, leaving his 1.3 million followers on Twitch.
Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, a Navi CS:GO professional player and streamer, has his channel banned twice in the last three months after using a Russian slur. “Stupid Twitch doesn’t understand the different meanings of the same word in different contexts,” exclaimed S1mple on his Twitter account. He also added, “Can’t remove twitch partnership by myself because of ban, do it instead of me please @Twitch.” Fans are anticipating if the 2018’s best CS:GO player will be changing ships soon away from Twitch.
Over at Reddit, fans are emphasizing how Ninja and Shroud’s move to Mixer paved the way for the other streamers to build their fanbase further. Not to mention the free Twitch Prime subscriptions, which usually costs $4.99, are also being used to other channels. One user also pointed out how moving away Twitch causes the personalities a decline in their viewer count, as seen so far.

On Timthetatman’s Twitter account, support flooded the replies section for his decision to stay on Twitch.

Jump Festa 2020 Details Released; Square Enix Announces Line-Up, Capcom Reportedly Present With Two New Games

Jump Festa 2020 is about to kick off later this month, and with it comes new games, news, and playable demos that anime fans will be able to get their hands on during the event. Jump Festa 2020 Details Released; Square Enix Announces Line-Up, Capcom Reportedly Present With Two New Games.
Square Enix has announced their full line-up of titles that will be making an appearance during the two-day convention, as well as whether these games are playable or simply there in presentation. Many of the games are what you would expect from the company right now, though it seems that Kingdom Hearts III is noticeably absent from the show. This could be because the upcoming Re:Mind DLC for the game will already have been released–which is a possibility, considering it could happen at any moment–or that because the release is already set for December, the company is looking to focus on future products instead.
The full line-up from Square Enix is as follows:
  • Trials of Mana (PS4/Switch/PC) – New Trailer
  • Dragon Quest of the Stars (Android/iOS)- New Trailer, Stage Presentation
  • Tatakae! Dragon Quest Scan Battlers (Arcade)-Trailer, Stage Presentation, Playable Demo, Novelty
  • Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (Android/iOS/PC)-Stage Presentation, Photo Corner, Novelty
  • War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (Android/iOS)-Photo Corner, Stage Event, Novelty
  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition (PS4/Switch/Android/iOS)-Trailer
  • Final Fantasy VII Remake – Photo Corner, New Trailer, Novelty
Capcom will also be attending the event, and will reportedly be bringing a couple of mystery titles with them. So far, it’s already been confirmed that both the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection and Monster Hunter: Iceborne games will be featured, but Capcom is set to bring a total of four games to the show. Supposedly, at least one of the unconfirmed titles will be playable, leaving fans to wonder about what games could be making an appearance.
The most obvious answer would be a playable version of Capcom’s upcoming asynchronous mutiplayer title Resident Evil: Project Resistance. The game has already gone through closed beta tests, so it wouldn’t be much of a surprise to allow a large group of player to get their hands on the game. Of course, with the recent rumors of a Resident Evil 3 remake in development, many are hoping we get an official reveal at Jump Festa. However, it’s highly unlikely, as a game of that status would most likely be revealed a much bigger event.
Jump Festa is an annual celebration of all things anime, with a major focus on Japan’s popular Jump magazines. The expo began back in 1999, and brings in more than 100,000 fans every year.
Many video game companies also use Jump Festa as a stage to unveil new information on upcoming games as well as interact with fans through exclusive presentations and interactive exhibits. This year’s event, Jump Festa 2020, will take place December 21-22 in Tokyo.

Demi Lovato takes a break on social media again and announces new music

Demi Lovato takes time off from social networks, once again claiming a new report on page six. On Wednesday, the singer and songwriter, who recently spent time in rehab, shared a photo with a legend that said: "The next time you hear from me, I will be singing …"
The 27-year-old performer did not reveal when her new songs would arrive on the broadcasting platforms, but her fans understand that it is likely to be an announcement of new music to come. In addition, the star shared a publication about his stories that said: "Do not believe in rumors." Demi Lovato Takes A Social Media Break Again And Announces New Music
However, nobody really knows what he meant. Demi has not released a new single since the June 2018 song, "Sober." As previously reported, Lovato would have suffered an overdose and announced in August of the same year that he would take some time off.
On his Instagram account, Lovato also admitted that he had just started working with the megagerente, Scooter Braun, who also works with Biebs and Ariana Grande. The star declared that she was very inspired and excited to start a new chapter in her career.
Lovato's new album will be the first time he has published music while working with the manager. Previously, Lovato worked with another company, during which time he created and released six studio albums in total.
As noted above, Scooter is the manager of Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and formerly of Kanye West. Braun has also been in the headlines for other reasons lately, including his widely publicized enmity with singer and songwriter Taylor Swift.
As previously reported, Scooter and Swift have been fighting since the summer months after it was revealed that Braun had bought his master recordings of Scott Borchetta's record label, Big Machine Records, now known as Big Machine Label Group.
Taylor took his Tumblr account after the purchase was revealed and described it as one of the worst things he could have imagined. Not long after, more controversy arose when Taylor accused Scooter and Big Machine Label Group of prohibiting him from performing his successful songs at the American Music Awards.
