The Sony Glacier White PlayStation 4 console and controller put on display at the 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

Christian Post Report – Earlier this week, a report from Sony Computer Entertainment Australia offered details of the upcoming PlayStation 4 system software update version 2.50.

According to the report, the software update,, nicknamed Yukimura will see the streaming frame rate improvement from 30fps to 60fps which will be available both for Remote and Share Play options.

The official press release further revealed details of the update which, as stated, also includes giving the players the chance to upgrade their sub-account to master account when they turn 18. This would consequently remove restrictions “for chat, enabling users to fund their own wallet, make purchases and more.”

Yukimura also gives PlayStation gamers a “redefined social gaming experience” and social networking access through the Facebook friend search.

“PlayStation now lets you go even bigger by connecting with your Facebook friends on PS4 using your linked account. Search for Facebook friends who are PSN members and build on the foundation of Friends you already have in your list,” Sony said.

Trophy screenshots is also coming to Yukimura. Right after a player gets a Trophy, “a screenshot will automatically be captured.” This feature meanwhile gives player the ability to remove games from the Trophy list which they weren’t able to complete.

Accessibility Options, meanwhile, offers a wide variety of player-centric options for text and speech like “enlarged text, bolder fonts, higher contrast UI, zoom for displayed pictures, invert colours on screen and more.”

Yukimura, moreover, gives players the chance to share their game moments via Dailymotion by simply clicking on the Share button found in their DualShock 4 controller.

The PS4 system software update 2.5 “Yukimura” will roll out soon to PS4 users in Australia, Gamespot wrote.

The New Orleans Saints Deal TE Jimmy Graham to Seattle

The New Orleans Saints Deal TE Jimmy Graham to Seattle

Less than a year after resigning TE Jimmy Graham to a huge contract, the New Orleans Saints have traded him to Seattle Seahawks

In a flurry of trades on the first day of the new league year in the NFL none were more surprising than the New Orleans Saints deciding to deal away tight end Jimmy Graham. It was not even a year ago that the Saints signed their star TE to a four-year $40 million dollar contract and is due a $5 million dollar bonus on March 15th. It seems odd the Saints would make that kind of investment in a quality player to trade him away less than a year later.

Of course what they got in return could be a key factor here. The Saints get from the Seattle Seahawks Center Max Unger and a 2015 first round draft pick. Pro Football Talk is reporting that the Saints are sending a fourth round 2015 pick along with Graham to Seattle.

ESPN said this about Graham: “Graham, 28, is regarded as one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the NFL, a player who often lines up as a wide receiver. He has 4,752 receiving yards and 51 touchdowns since entering the NFL as a third-round pick in 2010. In his five seasons with the Saints, Graham had more receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns than any other tight end in team history.”

For Seattle, they get the TE weapon that their offense desperately needs. They add another weapon for Russell Wilson to use, but the contract may eventually make it harder for the team to work out a new deal with their star QB.

The Saints get a valuable asset on their offensive line and now may have enough picks to make a move up to draft a young QB. There are some rumors that they may trade QB Drew Brees, which would leave them without a suitable signal caller unless they package their two first round picks to move up and select a new franchise QB.

‘Spectre’ Casting News: Stephanie Sigman Joins Daniel Craig in New 007 Film

The first image for the upcoming James Bond movie, Spectre.

Christian Post Report – Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond, will joined by Stephanie Sigman in the next Bond film “Spectre.” This was announced through the movie’s official Twitter account Wednesday.

Stephanie Sigman joins other actresses Lea Seydoux and Monica Belucci, who were earlier cast in the movie. Sigman is a model and actress of Mexican descent, known for her roles in “Miss Bala” and “Pioneer.” Other new cast members include Christoph Waltz, David Bautista and Andrew Scott.

Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes and Rory Kinnear will return to reprise the roles they played in the last Bond movie, “Skyfall.”

Sam Mendes of “American Beauty” fame is directing the movie, while John Logan wrote the script. Filming is underway in various locations in Europe, including London and Rome. The movie will be released in U.K. theaters on November 6, 2015.

Filming has encountered a few hitches recently, with some of the film’s stars experiencing injuries on set. Craig recently sprained his knee while doing a fight scene on location in London.

“Daniel’s injury is a real concern. Missed deadlines are a nightmare in the film world as it pushes everything back. Then not all the iconic locations can be rebooked easily or quickly,” an insider told The Mirror U.K. “In two weeks filming is due to switch to Rome and bosses fear Daniel’s recovery may mean they have to plan around their main star. It’s certainly not ideal.”

An earlier report in BBC also noted that the film was not allowed to shoot scenes at the Senedd chamber in Cardiff Bay by the National Assembly for Wales. The assembly cited that the chamber is “the home of Welsh democracy” and was not “a drama studio.” It is not known whether an alternate location was found by the production team.

The film’s plot will be about Bond’s pursuit of the global terrorist organization called Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion (SPECTRE). No other plot details were available.

According to the palace, the visit is to “celebrate the success of the award winning production.”

 Brian Ivie, a 24-year-old filmmaker from Orange County, California, set out three years ago to South Korea to make the film to end all films. Fortunately for him, that didn’t work out. Instead, he encountered the man he now calls his spiritual father — and became a curator of this man’s powerful and profound story of sacrifice and love.
Ivie, eager and working from a script set in his mind of how things would certainly go, set out on Dec. 15, 2011, for Seoul, South Korea, with a crew of 11 (mostly friends and his younger brother, Kevin) after a simple email exchange with Pastor Lee Jong-rak.

One lucky fan of the hit supernatural TV drama series “Teen Wolf” will get the chance to have her fan-made monster get featured in the upcoming fifth season of the show.

Christian Post Report – A Tumblr fan page of the MTV show saying that a new creature is heading towards Beacon Hills to wreak havoc and fear among its inhabitants.

Aptly named the Slaugh, the monster was born from the mind of a fan named Jessica Short. Miss Short recently won the AT&T Teen Wolf Creature Feature contest. A Brooklyn-based artist, Jessica is an animation student at the Pratt Institute.

Slaugh is characterized with its long thin body, a set of sharp teeth, and glowing red eyes.

In related Teen Wolf cast news, Hypable was able to catch on cast member Arden Cho, who offered the publication some insights about the upcoming season. She starts off by sharing the things she did while on break, which, as she said, was done by appearing on conventions and speaking at some colleges.

They then went on to discuss the development of her character and the show as a whole.

“So far I love where this season is going for all the characters, not just mine. I think they’re definitely writing some cool stuff for us and I’m excited. Kira’s growing up, everyone’s growing up, and it’s nice seeing characters going through and experiencing challenges that we do as well,” Cho said.

Cho went on to share that fans should expect the pack getting closer than ever with each other.

“I definitely feel like this season, really coming together as a pack, it fits. I feel like we’re all getting our groove, and I was just telling someone [that] for me this has been the most exciting season because I don’t feel like the new kid anymore, I feel like a part of the pack and the family,” the actress went on to say.

MTV’s “Teen Wolf” returns this June for its fifth season.

HBO’s “Game of Thrones”

Christian Post Report – The recently released trailer for the upcoming fifth season of the hit fantasy drama TV series “Game of Thrones” reveals a lot of exciting plot twists and development particularly that of Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and her dragons.

The action-packed teaser, which was revealed during the “Spring Forward” Apple Event, opens up with the Mother of Dragons enumerating the houses of “Lannister, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell” and thought of them as “just spokes in a wheel.”

“I’m not going to stop the wheel. I’m going to break the wheel,” the Targaryen says her vow in the video.

But the Freer of Slaves will have to deal with her own troubles first. Along the footage, it shows Daenerys getting endangered by the people whom she had freed from Meeren’s Wise Masters.

Elsewhere, the young king Tommen and his Kingsguard got confronted by a group of Sparrows – the devout followers of the Faith who, in the upcoming season, will be seen getting more involved in the conflict happening within the walls of King’s Landing.

The trailer also introduces the group’s leader, the High Sparrow, played by Jonathan Pryce.

“You are the few, and we are the many,” he says. “We serve the gods, and the gods demand justice.”

Further scenes of dragons flying, fires blazing, swords clashing, and throats getting slit were shown apparently suggesting that this season will definitely be an exciting one.

Earlier reports already indicated the absence of beloved characters Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead), Meera (Ellie Kendrick) and Hodor (Kristian Nairn), who in September last year told the press he won’t be appearing this season.

“Game of Thrones” Season 5 opens with its premiere episode this April 12, 2015, on HBO.

Youtube Screencap: ‘Attack on Titan’ lead character Eren Yeager in confrontation with a Colossal Titan

Christian Post Report – Recent “Attack on Titan” news indicated that entertainment giant Sony Pictures might be up for something for the hit animation property.

Although the details aren’t quite definitive, GameNGuide wrote in their article that “it looks as though they may be planning an Attack on Titan movie for the future” as what these eight web domains have suggested.

Anime News Network reported the domain names, which include variations of the mentioned title:

  • attackonthetitan-movie.com
  • attackonthetitan-movie.net
  • attackonthetitan.com
  • attackonthetitan.net
  • attackonthetitanmovie.com
  • attackonthetitanmovie.net
  • attackonthetitanthemovie.com
  • attackonthetitanthemovie.net

The publication went on to explain that just like “Ghost in the Shell,” Sony “may be looking to expand their network into adapting anime for the big screen” and these websites are just the few of the tell-tale signs.

Currently, all eight URLS would redirect to Sony Picture’s main website.

Debuting in 2009, the hit post-apocalyptic animation fantasy tells the story of a world plagued with remorseless, man-eating giants (called Titans), who have almost wiped off entire humanity if not for the huge walls which the remaining people were able to build.

The story centers on characters Eren Yeager who, with adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and childhood friend Armin Alert, joined a military force specializing in killing the Titans.

The franchise was originally based in the manga series written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama. It was later adapted to a television anime series by Wit Studio and Production I.G and was aired in Japan in 2013.

A live-action adaptation, consisting of two films, is set to premiere in Japanese theaters this summer.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Calgary Flames vs. Anaheim Ducks Live Stream: Watch NHL Hockey Online Free
Flames Jean-Yves Ahern, USA TODAY Sports

The Calgary Flames celebrate after scoring a goal.

Christian Post Report – Pacific Division rivals meet at Scotiabank Saddledome in the NHL as the Calgary Flames host the Anaheim Ducks. Both teams are coming off loses so expect them to try and bounce back in a big way.

The Flames had a three-game win streak snapped after an penalty shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators a few night ago.

Calgary dug themselves into a deep hole as they went down 4-0 against the Senators heading into the final period, but their perseverance paid off as they scored four times in the last period to level the score and salvage a point, before eventually losing on penalties.

The loss brings them to 77 points, third place in the division behind the Ducks and the Vancouver Canucks.

For the Ducks, they suffered back to back losses after falling to the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Canucks.

Before those defeats, Anaheim were riding a four-game win streak.

Their most recent loss to the Canucks, another division rival, came from a Zack Kassian wrister in the last four minutes of the contest. Anaheim were able to tie the score at 1-1 within the first 10 minutes of the last period but failed to defend properly, resulting in the loss.

And in the loss, they surrendered the top spot in the Western Conference to Nashville Predators, and the gap between them and the St. Louis Blues has been cut to four.

This will be the fifth and final meeting between the Ducks and Flames in the regular season, with Anaheim leading the season series 3-1.

Their last meeting in Calgary resulted in a 6-3 win for the Ducks, with Andrew Cogliano spear-heading a comeback after falling 2-0 in the second period to the Flames.

Five straight goals gave them the 5-2 lead before eventually ending the match with a 59th-minute goal from Hampus Lindholm.

With Anaheim in a slump and Calgary looking to capitalize, it should be an intense match between the two teams. For live updates, visit NHL.com.
