These 20 Game GIFs Just Ain't Right
1. FIFA 13
Video game quality has come a long way since the Pong days of yore. The characters, scenery and movements controlled on the screen are so lifelike now, hours of play will leave you questioning what is real.
That is, until your entire FIFA team starts battling a mutant-sized goalie, or your motorcycle flies away in Grand Theft Auto. Game glitches have become so popular for their hilarity that some games intentionally cater to such an aesthetic.

GTA V makes $800 million in one day It's expected to break the record for quickest entertainment release to make $1 billion
GTA V makes $800 million in one day
It's expected to break the record for quickest entertainment release to make $1 billion
Grand Theft Auto 5 made $800 million in sales on the game’s first day of release.
This is the highest launch-day revenue for a GTA game and the largest sum of money for any Take-Two published game ever.
Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 still holds the record for quickest entertainment product to reach $1 billion in sales, but it accomplished this goal in 15 days. It seems like Rockstar’s GTA V is set to smash this record.
To put this in perspective, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 actually reached this milestone two days before 2009′s Avatar. Yesterday, analysts predicted that GTA V would reach $1 billion in sales in just the game’s first month of release.
“All of us at Take-Two are thrilled with the initial response to Grand Theft Auto 5. Once again, the team at Rockstar Games have outdone themselves, setting the entertainment industry’s new standard for creativity, innovation and excellence,” said Strauss Zelnick, chairman and CEO of Take-Two, in a press release today.
GTA IV shipped 3.6 million units ($310 million) on launch-day in April 2008, 6 million units ($500 million) during its first week, and 11 million units ($900 million) during the game’s first month. To date, GTA IV has shipped 25 million copies.

TouchFire Keyboard Overlay Unveils Update for the iPad Mini
TouchFire Keyboard Overlay Unveils Update for the iPad Mini
Despite a number of competitors on the market, most notably the Android-powered Nexus 7 and Galaxy Tab, Apple’s iPad has remained at the head of the pack in terms of mainstream success.
That’s probably why it came as a bit of a surprise when, after the 10-inch iPad captured a huge portion of the market, Apple’s 7-inch iPad Mini appeared to be an even bigger hit among users.
SEE ALSO: iPad vs. iPad Mini: Which Should You Buy?
Now, as rumors circulate around an impending update to the device in October, a popular iPad accessory is prepping its second act in anticipation of the release of the new device. The Seattle-based makers of the TouchFire iPad keyboard, a translucent, silicone rubber device that magnetically attaches to the iPad, are now introducing a modified version of the device for the iPad Mini.
“It took us eight months to develop the TouchFire for iPad Mini," said TouchFire co-founder Steve Isaac, a veteran of the tech industry who worked at Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and helped develop early tablet technology at a company called GO. "Since [the iPad mini] is about half the size of a full size iPad, it’s a much harder problem."
“The thing that’s probably the hardest to deal with on tablets is probably input, typing, getting data in,” Isaac continued. “The solution that we have is designed to be something that works well with a human being — we have fingers, we’re tactile. We like things that we can touch and feel. That's the angle we are coming at it from.”

Like the original TouchFire, the new version will be framed by a Kickstarter campaign with an identical funding goal of $10,000, a figure the original campaign far exceeded, ultimately drawing in more than $200,000 from supporters.
With that level of enthusiasm and funding success for the original version of the device, it’s reasonable to ask why the two-man startup is returning to its Kickstarter roots.
“We have some product design issues that we want to get feedback on and Kickstarter is absolutely the best way to do that,” Isaac said.
The update will come with not only a keyboard, but also a separate case for the tablet. Early adopters will be able to purchase the new TouchFire keyboard and case for the iPad Mini via Kickstarter for $44.95 — assuming the campaign's success.
“We actually really like doing product development the Kickstarter way,” Isaac said. “It allows us to share the highs and lows of the whole process with an audience of actual customers and to get their feedback at critical junctures during the product development cycle.”

Perhaps Reddit has learned its lesson.

London Amps Digital to Make Fashion Week More Public Than Ever
London Amps Digital to Make Fashion Week More Public Than Ever
New York Fashion Week came to a close Thursday, heralding the return of another fashion week in London. This season, anticipation for the week is not limited to the collections themselves: The industry and the public are equally interested in what digital innovations the top design houses will introduce during their shows.
When one fashion house introduces a new digital innovation, it doesn't take long for others to follow. One need only remember that fashion shows weren't live-streamed five years ago, nor did designers reveal behind-the-scenes snapshots over Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr. Today, those are a matter of course.
But what’s next? New York saw Tommy Hilfiger introduce Lytro cameras and a "social concierge" service to its show this season, while Rebecca Minkoff experimented with messaging app Snapchat to debut its collection. For London Fashion Week, which runs from Sept. 13 through Sept.17, yet another round of ideas are on their way. Here’s a preview.
Celebrating London
Natalie Massenet, founder of Net-a-Porter and chairman of the British Fashion Council, published an open letter in UK newspaper The Evening Standard ahead of this season’s shows, calling for the whole of London to help raise the profile of British fashion by engaging in the excitement surrounding Fashion Week.
“All eyes will be on you as our international guests will be tweeting, Instagramming and reporting in nearly 50 countries across the world,” Massenet wrote, adding that this “will help grow our brands, stimulate exports, create new jobs and generally make us a must-visit city." She invited the public to be their most stylish selves for the week to show their support.
Once a trade-only event, London Fashion Week has increasingly become an opportunity to speak directly to consumers.
Once a trade-only event, London Fashion Week has increasingly become an opportunity to speak directly to consumers. This is especially the case at the event's headquarters in Somerset House, where an "Instabooth" has been set up to celebrate the best of the capital’s street style. Visitors will be able to print images of themselves as souvenirs as well as share their favorite looks on Facebook. Highlights will also be posted on the official London Fashion Week Instagram.
Meanwhile, a social media wall in the courtyard of Somerset House will provide running commentary on the shows, as pulled from anyone using the #LFW hashtag. Posts will be regulated to keep them appropriate, but the aim is for a visual insight into the experience of Fashion Week, whether that’s through catwalk looks, front row pics or celebrity sightings.
This consumer-facing strategy is being pushed out across the city in a year-long campaign. The British Fashion Council last week announced that every Friday for the next 12 months it will broadcast a fashion news bulletin, dubbed #FashionFridays, on screens situated on the London Underground. Beyond news and other fashion-related content, the BFC will hold competitions to encourage consumers to engage with the broadcasts using the hashtag.
The BFC is not the only one taking to the streets of London this season. Belstaff, whichcancelled its New York presentation last weekend to focus on the opening of its London flagship this Sunday, is doing so with a bold statement. Playing on its motorcycle heritage, the British-born brand is closing off part of New Bond Street to welcome a parade of 50 bikers. In lieu traditional models, Belstaff is using "rugged" British guys in the parade, ones who are passionate about the brand, Emilie Hawtin, senior marketing and digital media manager, tells Mashable. "They are already wearing Belstaff; they’re getting it dirty and using it the way it’s supposed to be used," Hawtin says.
During the parade, the bikers will perform tricks on vintage bikes, which The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman will be on hand to capture. The well-recognized street style photographer will also shoot a series of intimate portraits of the bikers before and during the ride. The resulting images will be hosted on the Legends section of Belstaff's website, which is already home to images of its oldest jackets and the icons who have worn them.
Enhancing Show Experiences
When it comes to the shows themselves this season, the two big moves come from Burberry and Topshop once again. Both are partnering with technology companies, albeit ones at radically opposite ends of the scale.
Burberry is teaming with Apple to capture its Spring/Summer 2014 collection using a set of not-yet-released iPhone 5S devices. Its team will capture both photos and video of the runway looks as well as backstage, which will be shared via social media. It's a promotional rather than an innovative partnership, a way to leverage the buzz created by Apple's latest device.
Having partnered with more established technology players in the past, this season Topshop hassought out a young mobile startup called Chirp to create a new experience for its show. Chirp is a mobile app that transmit images, notes or links through "digital birdsong" — users post their content, then hit a yellow button to emit a unique 20-note chirp, which other devices running the app nearby can pick up. The retailer will be using the app to send out images, including prep and backstage shots, to attendees of the show via several "Chirp locations" around the event site. Its Oxford Circus store will also feature a Chirp and Twitter "garden" full of digital content for shoppers to explore.
Other Content Highlights
Other London designers will be sharing their collections via a variety of digital means. Twenty-nine of 58 shows will be live-streamed throughout the week, including 18 from Somerset House, eight from Topshop’s new Regent’s Park venue, and from off-site locations chosen by Burberry, Mulberry and Paul Smith. The Christopher Raeburn, Sister by Sibling and Simone Rocha shows will also be streamed directly to the BFC's Twitter feed.
Here’s a round-up of the rest of the social content to look out for:
- The BFC is continuing its live Twitter Q&A sessions with industry insiders, including blogger Susie Lau of Style Bubble, using #AskLFW. This time, all of the responses will be recorded using six-second Vine clips.
- Matthew Williamson is handing out props branded with the hashtag #ohMW (Oh My Williamson), encouraging attendees to tweet and Instagram photos of themselves with the prop. "We wanted a cute prop to make people feel at ease with the camera – we want to show personality and character,” says Williamson’s head of digital Rosanna Falconer.
- Jonathan Saunders will use an app called Slidergram to showcase “slideshow-style videos” of key looks from its show, as well as backstage and close-up shots. All will be accompanied by the show’s soundtrack.
- Paul Smith himself will be taking over the brand’s Instagram for the majority of the week, revealing pictures of Sunday’s show prep as well as the new Mayfair store opening Friday night using the #takenbypaul hashtag.
- eBay UK has teamed up with video blogger Patricia Bright of BritPopPrincess for a series of videos focused on street style at LFW, with looks shoppable straight from eBay’s YouTube channel. eBay will also be revealing a capsule collection by designer Holly Fulton.
- Pinterest’s fashion week hub continues in London, this time showcasing boards from the likes of Harvey Nichols, Anya Hindmarch and Mulberry.

However, T-Mobile offers a less pricey service plan — including unlimited calls, texting and data for $70 each month — compared to AT&T's $80-per-month plan with limited data and talk time.

Meanwhile, on AT&T, the iPhone 5C will cost $0 down along with $22 a month for 20 months. If you're willing to sign a two-year contract, you can get the normal subsidized price: a single payment of $99.
Pre-orders for the 5C are now available on both carriers.
iPhone 5S
For the iPhone 5S, T-Mobile is offering it up front for $99 plus $22 a month for 24 months. If you cancel service before paying off the phone, the remaining balance will come due.
For a full look at T-Mobile's pricing, click here.
With AT&T, customers can buy the iPhone 5S starting Sept. 20 for $0 up front with installments of $27 a month for 20 months. This would bring the total to $540 across 20 months (including the phone), while T-Mobile's plan and phone pricing comes to $627 for 24 months.
Another option for AT&T is to sign a two-year contract, which gets the customer the subsidized price of $199 for the 16GB iPhone 5S. For a full look at AT&T's offerings, click here.
In July, AT&T rolled out an initiative called Next, which factors in the price of a new device with 20 monthly payments, ranging from $15 to $50, depending on the device.
T-Mobile also has bi-annual upgrade program called Jump, giving customers the ability to get a new smartphone or tablet each year
Tokyo Wins Bid for 2020 Olympics
Tokyo Wins Bid for 2020 Olympics
Tokyo was chosen to host the 2020 Summer Olympics, besting fellow finalists Istanbul and Madrid.
The Japanese capital won the bid Saturday, following a secret ballot that took place during the 125th International Olympic Committee session in Buenos Aires. 94 IOC members voted in total. Tokyo beat Istanbul 60 votes to 36 in the final round of the selection process. The Turkish city eliminated Madrid in a first round tie-breaker.
"Congratulations to the city of Tokyo on its election as host of the 2020 Olympic Games," IOC President Jacques Rogge said in an IOC release.
Tokyo previously hosted the 1964 Summer Olympics. It was also selected to host the Olympics in 1940, but those games were suspended due to World War II.
The official Twitter account of Tokyo 2020 celebrated the news online by posting a picture to commemorate the win.
