Extinction is an upcoming action game similar to Attack on Titan where players fight massive creatures in a desperate fight for survival.
Extinction was originally revealed in June 2017 and since then we haven’t heard much about the development process. Today, developer Iron Galaxy finally announced the release date for the game: April 10, 2018.
MINNEAPOLIS (CBSNewYork) — Finding a team built to win would be a high priority for Kirk Cousins if he hits the open market this offseason, the Redskins quarterback said Tuesday.
That may or may not bode well for Jets fans who are keeping their fingers crossed that Cousins will be wearing green by the end of the spring. The Jets are coming off back-to-back 5-11 seasons, which doesn’t scream contender, but they are expected to have nearly $100 million to spend, so they could potentially win over Cousins through their actions.
Talking to WFAN’s “The Afternoon Drive” on Radio Row on Tuesday, the Redskins quarterback — at least for now — tried his best to sidestep questions about the Jets, but he did say he would keep an open mind if Washington declines to slap the $34 million franchise tag on him.
“Let’s get past March 6 and see what the Redskins choose to do, and then at that point the ball swings back into my court,” Cousins said. “And instead of being passive, I can finally be active in the process and go be able to answer those questions.”

Cousins made it clear that he’s more concerned about winning than earning top dollar.
“Winning is everything, especially at this stage of my career — I’m going into Year 7,” he said. “Because I’ve been franchise-tagged twice, I’ve been in a position where it’s not about the money so much; it’s about winning. I want to win. This isn’t the NBA. You can’t just get one player and now you’re in the AFC championship game or the NFC championship game. … Other pieces comes into play.”
The Pro Bowl QB also said offensive system, coaches and receivers would factor into his decision.
Perhaps one thing the Jets have going for them is Jeremy Bates, whom the Jets are expected to promote from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator. Bates comes from the Mike Shanahan coaching tree. Shanahan drafted and developed Cousins.
In other words, Bates could potentially check off Cousins’ boxes for offensive system and coaches.
Cousins said he met Bates coming out of college and liked him.
“I just think he’s a good football mind,” he said. “He’s about football, and that’s what matters to him. Everybody I’ve talked to who knows him loves him. So I think it was a smart hire with the Jets.”
Cousins said he wouldn’t be upset if the Redskins franchise-tagged him again. He also didn’t rule out re-signing with them even after hitting free agency.
“I may go out and do my research and realize that the best answer was right there all along in front of my face, and it was Washington,” he said. “But I haven’t had the opportunity to go gather that research, so until then I’m going to keep an open mind and see what’s out there.”

When the HomePod launches, it will receive regular updates much like Apple’s iOS devices, Macs, Apple TVs, and Apple Watch models. Apple hasn’t shared details on how these updates will be installed, but some digging into the iOS code by 9to5Mac has revealed that updates will be available via Apple’s dedicated Home app for HomeKit devices.
As we learned before the launch of the HomePod, the speaker runs a version of iOS, and it’s actually a lot like an iPhone sans display. Because it’s running an iOS variant, we can expect the HomePod to receive updates right alongside iOS devices.

Apple employees have been testing the HomePod for months, and in that time, Apple has released several software updates for the device. The latest updates have indeed coincided with iOS releases, and the last HomePod software update came when iOS 11.2.5 was released. When it launches on February 9, the HomePod will likely be running its own dedicated version of iOS 11.2.5.
When a new software update is released for the HomePod, users will receive an alert and will likely be directed to the Home app to install it, similar to how Apple Watch updates are installed through the Watch app. HomePod will be listed as an available HomeKit device in the Home app.

As with the Apple TV, there will be a setting to enable automatic HomePod updates, and updates will be available for either a single HomePod or multiple HomePods if you have more than one.
The first update to the HomePod may be iOS 11.3, and that update is expected to introduce key features Apple wasn’t able to make available ahead of its launch. When the HomePod launch date was announced, Apple said multi-room audio and support for pairing two or more HomePods together for stereo sound, two features requiring the not-yet-implemented AirPlay 2 protocol, would come in an update set to be released later this year.

Apple implemented AirPlay 2 features in iOS 11.3, which suggests we won’t be waiting too long to see new functionality in the HomePod. iOS 11.3 is expected to see a spring launch, which means anytime between March 20 and June 21, if we’re going by the dates for spring 2018 in the Northern Hemisphere.
HomePod is available for purchase from Apple for $349, and the first HomePod orders will be in the hands of customers on February 9, the official launch date for the device.
Over the course of the last week, we’ve learned several new details about the HomePod from hands-on first impressions and additional information released by Apple, so make sure to check out our HomePod roundup for an updated overview of the speaker with everything you need to know about it.

Photographer and artist Coco Capitán is known for her humorous typeface-based works and images that explore the nature of photos in the age of social media. Last season, her work was elevated on a higher platform through a collaboration with Gucci’s creative director, Alessandro Michele.
In addition featuring collaborative pieces in the label’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection, Capitán’s art was also featured as part of Gucci’s multi-city art wall campaign, putting her witty aphorisms on the sides of buildings in cities like New York and Milan.
“I think words are very precious, and if put together in the right order they can create a linguistic masterpiece that feels like your favorite painting,” she says in an interview with us. “People call this poetry, but I prefer not to use that word, because poetry seems reduced to poets and language intellectuals.”

Unlike previous issues, Issue 004 will only be available at a real-life drop in New York City. Items will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Details are below:

No topic was off-limits in a new, wide-ranging interview with Quincy Jones, one of music’s most prolific producers, artists, entrepreneurs and all-around multi-hyphenates.
Jones, who will turn 85 this March, told GQ that he has no plans of slowing down despite his advanced age; if anything, he’s looking forward to living until he’s 110, thanks to some treatments he’s been undergoing at an exclusive hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, six days each year.
“I feel like a child, man,” he said. “I’m just starting.”
Here are seven surprising revelations Jones made in the interview, including his thoughts on Taylor Swift and the current music landscape, his experiences with racism and his beef with Tupac Shakur (and how his daughter Rashida Jones got pulled into the mix).
1. Jones is not a fan of Taylor Swift’s music, and doesn’t have a problem saying so. “We need more songs, man,” the mega-producer said. “Fucking songs, not hooks.” Jones has worked with everyone from Michael Jackson to Aretha Franklin to Frank Sinatra, and counts the late Miles Davis and Ray Charles among his peers. When asked what he thinks is missing in Swift’s brand of pop stardom, Jones said it goes back to putting in the work.
“Knowing what you’re doing. You know what I mean?” he said. “Since I was a little kid, I’ve always heard the people that don’t wanna do the work. It takes work, man. The only place you find success before work is the dictionary, and that’s alphabetical.” On the flip side, current artists he’s excited about include Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, Drake, Ludacris, Common, Mary J. Blige and Jennifer Hudson.
2. The producer claims he has 22 girlfriends all across the globe. When pressed about whether he really was dating 22 different women, Jones responded in the affirmative. “Hell yeah. Everywhere,” he said. “Cape Town. Cairo. Stockholm – she’s coming in next week. Brazil – Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, and Rio. Shanghai – got a great girl over there from Shanghai, man. Cairo, whew.”
One important thing to clarify, however, is that he’s not hiding any of the relationships from the other women. “Yeah, I don’t lie,” he said. “And it’s amazing – women get it, man. Don’t you ever forget they’re 13 years smarter than we are. Don’t you ever forget it.” Jones was previous married three times. He also added that his daughters have set a new stipulation for him: no women younger than them; they compromised with women ranging between 28 to 42.
3. Frank Sinatra tried to set him up with Marilyn Monroe, and Jones had interesting reasoning for not dating her. “Frank was always trying to hook me up with Marilyn Monroe, but Marilyn Monroe had a chest that looked like pears, man,” he said. When asked to elaborate, Jones changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about it,” he said. “Come on, man. We killed it.”
4. He has always been aware of how his race played a role in how he was perceived and what obstacles he faced on his path to success. He recalled in particular one time when author Truman Capote refused to have Jones score the film adaptation of his book, In Cold Blood.
According to Jones, Capote “went back into the other room [after meeting Jones] and said, ‘I didn’t know Quincy Jones was a Negro.’ Truman Capote, that motherfucker, he called [director] Richard Brooks up on In Cold Blood and said, ‘Richard, I don’t understand why you’ve got a Negro doing the music for a film with no people of color in it.’ And Richard Brooks said, ‘Fuck you, he’s doing the music.’ Richard was tough.” Jones did end up scoring the film, and even earned an Oscar nomination for his work.
5. Jones also had beef with Tupac, who once called him “disgusting” for having interracial relationships. Jones’ daughter, actress Rashida, then 17, wrote a letter to the rapper slamming him for his words. “Tupac, if you learn one lesson, let it be that at least my father took the time to look at how fucked up life would be if he didn’t get his shit together early on. Where the hell would you be if Black people like him hadn’t paved the way for you to even have the opportunity to express yourself? I don’t see you fighting for your race. In my opinion, you’re destroying it and shitting all over your people,” The Office alum (whose mother is white actress Peggy Lipton) wrote.
Shakur and Jones later made up and the rapper even dated Jones’ daughter Kidada, who was there with him in Las Vegas when he was shot and killed in September 1996.
6. Jones said he speaks 26 different languages. “I’m writing Mandarin, writing Arabic, writing katakana in Japan. I’ve been traveling all my life, and I guarantee I travel more than any motherfucker on this planet,” he said. When asked about his propensity for language, the producer said, “I don’t know. It’s just natural.”
7. He wants Donald Glover to play him in a possible 10-part TV biopic. The media magnate will turn 85 in March, during which time he will be honored with a Netflix documentary, a possible TV biopic and a TV tribute on CBS that his good friend Oprah will host. In reference to Oprah, Jones also made mention of his famous “Thriller ribs,” which the veteran talk show host has made on the show “four times.” When asked why they’re referred to as Thriller ribs, he said simply with a shrug, “Oprah dramatizes everything.”
