Speaking Simulator Begins Hilarious Quest for World Domination 30 January

Launching on Nintendo Switch™, PC, Mac via Steam

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA – 9 January, 2020 – Speaking Simulator, the hilarious game about an android struggling to infiltrate human society, initiates its plan for world domination on Nintendo Switch™ 30 January, launching simultaneously alongside the previously announced PC and Mac versions coming to Steam.

At the behest of an adorably malevolent but incredibly inept AI, venture forth into the human world as a robot built to live among them. Customize the android’s appearance, then utilize the latest in humanoid mouth technology to assimilate and ascend. How hard can talking to people be, anyway? Robots do not have social anxiety and existential dread…right?

Start off simple with first dates and job interviews, but as the android further ingrains itself into society, survive public speaking nightmares like wedding toasts and eulogies. Take too long between words or misplace the tongue and the robot will get nervous, causing its face to explode. Humans tend to find this suspicious. It’s hard to blend in when an android’s piston-powered tongue knocks out its teeth.

Simultaneously flail the tongue and maneuver lips with tricky controls to simulate human speech. Speaking Simulator utilizes the most realistic gibberish system in all of gaming, created with real linguistic theory. One hand controls tongue placement, requiring quick presses on red buttons inside the mouth. The other hand elongates or purses the lips to form words. PC players can use webcams to control the android’s mouth movements.

Chase a high score in each level by sounding like a natural speaker. Unlock new upgrades adding layers of difficulty and increasing the score threshold. Use Socio-Optic Dynamics to make just the right amount of eye contact and Expressive Facial Pistons for some good ol’ human eyebrow wiggling. When all that stress is too much, blow off steam at a club in Self Expression Mode, where humans and robots can dance the night away. 

“Words are hard, and a lot of us who are unquestionably human take that for granted,” said Jed Dawson, co-founder at Affable Games. “When we started making Speaking Simulator we realized the concept of pushing words out of mouth-holes is actually incredibly funny and gross, and therefore ripe for a comedy game.”

Speaking Simulator will be available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese 30 January on Nintendo Switch and PC/Mac via Steam.

Sydney, Australia, January 8^th, 2020 – Monster Energy Supercross is all about the rhythm and flow, we all know that. So why just let a standard “feature trailer” describe the new videogame when you can leverage the seamless rhythmic flow of a specially crafted Rap song? That’s quite an obvious choice, especially when you have a Pro athlete who is also a videogame lover and popular rapper!

That’s why Milestone, the company developing and publishing Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 3,partnered with Supercross athlete Adam Enticknap, a.k.a. 7deucedeuce, to create “Be One of Us”. The rap song and video shows fans what they can expect from the new videogame as they compete with the best Pro riders in the latest release of the most realistic Supercrossvideogame ever made. The music video was shot on location in California to mix both digital and real-life track action. “Be One of Us” also features a cameo of YouTubers very popular among the Supercross videogaming community.

“’Be One of Us’ was the first thing that came to mind when the developers of Monster Energy Supercross 3 came to me for this project,” stated Supercross athlete and rapper Adam Enticknap. “The gaming features are so realistic and so sick that I knew I had to translate that authenticity. This truly has been a surreal experience and I hope fans dig the rap as much as I know they are going to love the new game.”  

For those not familiar with the upcoming new release of the videogame, Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 3 will feature the 2019 Monster Energy Supercross season with 100 riders from both the 450SX and 250SX Classes and 15 official stadiums. For the first time, it will also allow players to choose between a sponsor team or an Official Supercross Team of the 2019 Championship in Career Mode.  The Multiplayer Mode is now boosted with Dedicated Servers for a low latency gameplay experience, and Race Director Mode to create and manage online competitions. Playerscan also race in the co-op mode with 3 other friends, choosing different game modes in the replica of the legendary Factory Supercross Practice Tracks in California. A huge free roaming area with 9 amazing tracks, where most of the OEMs test their bikes.

Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 3 will be available worldwide starting February 4^th on all platforms: PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Windows PC®/STEAM and Nintendo Switch™.

Awe Inspiring Installations Feature Flat, Curved and Rollable OLED Screens;

Demonstration of LG Breakthrough Innovation, Display Technology Leadership

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2020 — A celebrated CES^® tradition is continuing this year from LG Electronics (LG), the global leader in OLED display technology, with the LG OLED Wave, the latest exhibition welcoming visitors into the company’s massive CES booth.

Constructed with an array of flexible OLED screens, the showstopping installation delivers a dramatic demonstration of the LG OLED range including its unrivaled picture quality and ability to assume unique form factors. Visitors to the LG CES 2020 booth can also marvel at The Fountain, a hero zone inside the booth that features a moving performance from the unique LG SIGNATURE OLED TV R (model 65RX) rollable displays. The awe-inspiring OLED installations are a testament to the company’s technology leadership and power to innovate and amaze.

OLED is the most evolved display technology on the planet, delivering stunning pictures with absolute blacks and incredible contrast from any vantage point. Self-lighting pixels, which can be turned on and off individually, help make images incredibly lifelike.  Without the need for a backlight, LG OLED displays are extremely lightweight and thin, allowing for TVs that can be mounted perfectly flush to the wall, or made flexible enough to be rolled up like a poster.

The colossal and captivating LG OLED Wave is made up of 200 55-inch LG OLED digital signage screens (128 convex and concave and 72 flat) with a mirror finish. Measuring 6 meters (20 feet) high and 25 meters (82 feet) wide, the exhibit will immerse CES attendees in a breathtaking journey of discovery. From the raw power of the oceans to the birth of the Aurora Borealis in the northern sky, LG OLED Wave fills the senses with images and sound that surround, transporting the audience to some of the most memorable natural events and locations on Earth. They can even experience what it is like to walk beneath the ocean’s waves.

The Fountain wows visitors with a synchronised performance from 20 of the company’s groundbreaking rollable OLED TVs. The razor-thin flexible displays show off their superior image quality while rolling up and down in an entertaining, choreographed sequence. The rollable LG SIGNATURE OLED TV R is the only TV in the world with a screen that can completely disappear from view, withdrawing into its stylish aluminum base when not in use. The futuristic TV redefines the spatial relationship with its surroundings and is a landmark achievement in the history of television.

Since 2016, LG OLED installations have been must-see attractions at major international events.  The first LG OLED installation at CES, 2016’s LG OLED Tunnel, featured a dome-shaped configuration and displayed mesmerising scenes of the night sky, winning LG a Red Dot Award for Spatial Communication. The next year, Senses of the Future, a large-scale light-based artwork presented at Milan Design Week, won the Milano Design Award 2017 for best installation, making LG the first Korean company to ever receive this accolade, and the Red Dot Grand Prix in the Spatial Communication category. LG OLED Falls, unveiled at last year’s CES, repeated the honor at the Red Dot Award 2019.

Visitors to the LG CES 2020 booth (#11100, Central Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center) from January 7-10 can experience the magnificence of the newest LG OLED installations firsthand. Follow all of the LG activities and announcements at CES on social media using #LGCES2020.
