New Botting and Cheating Pokemon Go Section
After many comments and complaints of the official Pokemon Go section being filled with botting and cheating discussion, Omniscient has created a section dedicated to just botting and cheating discussions which will filter out a lot of the legitimate player talk in the main section. The official section is called Pokemon Go Botting and Cheats with the description "If you're a player that likes shortcuts then figure out and help others cheat at Pokemon Go in this forum.".

.Sinister: Hey Young Thug! Welcome to the 304th edition of the HF News. I'm glad to have you here. Any shoutouts you want to make before we begin? Young Thug: Hey .Sinister, thanks for having me. Yeah for sure. Free Understalker, Free haydrazs, Free funtage. Also shoutout to my good buds on and offsite Orgy and King of Hearts
.Sinister: Young Thug, tell me a bit about yourself. What got you started on HF? Young Thug: Well I started lurking back in early summer 2015, I heard about the forum through a buddy of mine. I was, at the time, looking for some mobile game hacks, and hoped the forum could help me out. I took a long break when I found out the site didn’t have what I was searching for, but started to become active back in September of 2015, when the same friend told me I should branch out and meet some people.
.Sinister: Ah, a very similar story to most people I've interviewed before. Have you ever been involved in the marketplace on HF? If so, what are your opinions of it? Young Thug: Yes I’ve been very involved in the marketplace. I sold many ebooks/guides as well as many social media handles. I think the current state of the marketplace is good. I’m a big supporter of the multivouching rule, even if I was a former offender myself. I think it really thinned out the fake products on the marketplace and made room for real interesting products. I myself have junked 4 of my ebook threads, I thought of them not to be of the highest quality, hence the junking.
.Sinister: Do you think sellers will try to find a way around this rule? Is it possible someone has found a loophole? How do you think this rule will affect current sellers, mainly eBook sellers? Young Thug: Oh absolutely, any ebook seller who makes all of his profit off of said ebook, or has a sticky dedicated to the ebook will find some way around the rule. Just like anything else in life people will find a way to get around the law. As of right now, the rule has slowed down fake vouches and excessive bumping of useless threads on the marketplace. I hope it stays that way.
.Sinister: Do you have anything against eBook sellers? I've noticed a lot of people on the forum are not a big fan of these sellers. Young Thug: I have nothing against the sellers, in fact I’m good friends with many of the sellers. I cannot vouch or anti-vouch for any of their products, as I have not read all of them. I think that many ebook may in-fact be garbage, but some ebooks do hold value and can make you some good money. Weeding out the good and the bad is the tricky part.
.Sinister: What are your thoughts on some sellers faking proof? Do you think that crosses the line between moral and immoral? Young Thug: Yeah faking proof is not cool. I know plenty of people who do it and unfortunately it tricks many new members who don’t know better. I hope it gets cleaned up soon, but there is no way to stop them from doing it really. It crosses a line for sure, to fake a payment proof is straight up deception.
.Sinister: I can definitely agree with you. What do you usually do outside of HF? Young Thug: Outside of HF, as I’m in college my social life mainly consists of hitting the bars with some buds, or chilling in the dorm. A lot of drinking goes on with me, as many members know me for my drinking. Outside of that I play a lot of tennis and badminton.
.Sinister: Interesting. You like to drink a lot huh? What are the chances of you winning that drunk award? I mean after all.. you were the first to win the purple clover award. Young Thug: Man I tell everyone every night, I wish I could get that drunk award. Every night I wish omni would grant me that award, it's my favorite award out of all of them, and I personally think I deserve it. On the clover situation, yeah I was the first I kind of ruined my 4 diamonds in a row plot but hey I'll take what I can get.
.Sinister: That's all the time we have for today. Thanks for your time Young Thug. Is there anything you would like to say before we wrap this up? Young Thug: Thanks for having me on Sinister, don't vacation ban like you told me you were going to.

Deadly Debris Is Cause for Concern
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has observed road debris for the past four years and just released some alarming statistics. According to the study, over 200,000 accidents in the U.S. are linked to debris littered on roads all over the country. Not only do debris cause accidents but they can also be the main factor that leads to death or injury. The AAA Foundation states, "Nearly 37 percent of all deaths in road debris crashes resulted from the driver swerving to avoid hitting an object. Overcorrecting at the last minute to avoid debris can increase a driver's risk of losing control of their vehicle and make a bad situation worse." While these statistics are alarming Urek Grabowski, research director for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety says, "Drivers can easily save lives and prevent injuries by securing their loads and taking other simple precautions to prevent items from falling off the vehicle." Most of these debris-related accidents are taking place on interstate highways where the increased rate of speed makes even the smallest pieces of debris cause for concern.
School Lunches Are Linked to Childhood Obseity
Researchers at Virginia Tech have found children on government provided school lunch programs to be at greater risk for becoming overweight. Wen You, associate professor of agricultural and applied economics in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences found that students who take part in both breakfast and lunch programs, provided by the government, are at the highest risk for becoming overweight. Even with new legislation, particularly the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, You's study found that schools were still failing to meet the nutritional standards set in place. So, with subpar nutrition standards and prolonged use of the meal program, according to You's research, children are put at high risk for childhood obesity problems.
Two Dwarf Galaxies Branching Out
NASA has laid its eyes upon two dwarf galaxies that have come out of darker parts of space to join a community of stars! The two galaxies, named Pisces A and B, have remained dormant in the background of the cosmos for billions of years until very recently. It is speculated, by NASA, that these galaxies remained unknown for so long because of their location in a local void that's 150 million miles wide. The local void is a part of the cosmos that is home to very few stars or galaxies and so it remains rarely observed. These dwarf galaxies were being pulled from its local void by the gravity of a large collection of galaxies and stars nearby for a while and have finally reached their destination.
Fiji Wins its First Olympic Medal
After 16 Olympic appearances, Fiji has won its first medal. A crushing victory of 43-7 over Great Britain earned Fiji a gold medal in rugby. During the match, seven different players from Fiji scored. This is a large feat for the small multi-island nation. The population of Fiji is less than one million people, and the country consists of over 300 islands, but its team was favored going into the match. Regardless of its size, the country has shown it can compete on the world stage.
Anger in Taiwan due to Being Called “Chinese Taipei” in Olympics
The country “Chinese Taipei” is a fictitious country, but the people of Taiwan are competing under that name in the Olympics. The name is the result of a political compromise which has existed since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. The compromise allows Taiwan to compete in the Olympics, but the people of Taiwan are increasingly unhappy with the lack of identity the nation receives. Taiwan, also known as the Republic of China, lost its recognition in the UN in 1971. According to the UN, the People’s Republic of China is the only lawful representative of China. However, the politics of Taiwan and China are completely different. When the host nations in the 1976 and 1980 Olympics refused to recognize Taiwan as the Republic of China, Taiwan boycotted the events. After further compromise, Taiwan returned to the Olympics in 1984 as “Chinese Taipei.” Regardless of the compromise, today's citizens of Taiwan are largely unhappy with the name change. In 1991, only 13.6% of the nation’s respondents identified as Taiwanese. That percentage increased to 45% in 2004, and has since risen to 80% after a poll conducted this year. The younger generations are largely pushing for international recognition as Taiwan. Despite Taiwan’s upsurge in support for separate identities, mainland China says any suggestion of “two Chinas” is absurd.
Chinese Reporters Caught in Gunfight
Prior to the Olympics beginning, some reporters were met with early excitement outside the stadium. A bus full of Chinese basketball reporters ended up in the middle of a roadside gunfight. No Chinese casualties were reported, but six locals were killed in the exchange of bullets. The gunfight happened two kilometers away from the Rio airport. Within the same week, a Chinese hurdler was vomited on by a Brazilian man while another individual made off with his luggage in a coordinated robbery attempt. Elsewhere in Rio, a Russian official, alleged to be a master of jiu-jitsu, thwarted a robber’s attempt by snatching his gun and shooting him with it.

Final Fantasy 15 Has Been Delayed!
Following multiple reports that the release of upcoming game Final Fantasy XV has been delayed, Square Enix has confirmed the reports as true. Final Fantasy XV is now slated for a November 30 launch instead of the previous released date of September 30. According to a statement released by Square Enix, the new date "will allow the development teams time to further polish and conduct quality testing so that the reality of the game can match the expectations of both the fans and the creative teams." Final Fantasy XV aims to be the first fully open world Final Fantasy game in the series and it proved to be an even bigger task to the team handling the game. Head game director, Hajime Tabata, said "As the director and lead of this project, I wish to personally apologize for the additional wait. As a team, we want Final Fantasy XV to achieve a level of perfection that our fans deserve. We kindly ask for your understanding." It is clear in the video released to address the issue that Tabata is very passionate about releasing a game that will live up to everyone's standards after waiting eons for the game to debut. It is certainly understandable that they would want to delay the game a few months to ensure its perfection. By taking two more months Square Enix is hoping to defeat the need for a "day-one patch" and release a game that doesn't need any immediate updates. Well, we waited over ten years. What's a few more months?
Fallout 4's Final Expansion is Coming Soon!
Fallout 4's Nuka-World expansion comes out on August 30. It will be available on that date across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Bethesda also released a trailer to showcase the new expansion pack that can be viewed here. Nuka-World is set in a post-apocalyptic amusement park that is now overrun with Raiders, Ghouls, and other various enemies. Players will be able to explore Nuka-World in its entirety. This includes the Safari Adventure, Dry Rock Gulch, Kiddie Kingdom, and the Galactic Zone. Each area is expected to have enemies that fit the theme of the area. For example, the Galactic Zone will be filled with ghouls. The raiders aren't all that bad this time around. Players will be able to lead gangs of raiders and put them to work in taking over surrounding settlements. Similar to previous expansions, there are new quests, weapons, enemies, and more to discover along the way. Nuka-World is Fallout 4's sixth expansion, following Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, Far Harbor, Contraptions Workshop, and Vault-Tec Workshop. You can obtain access to each of the 6 expansion packs by purchasing the $50 season pass. Alternatively, you can purchase Nuka-World on its own for $20. Nuka-World is expected to be bigger than any of the previous expansions. It is reported to be 3.66 GB which is nearly one GB larger than Far Harbor.
Adele Declines Offer to Perform at Super Bowl
The popular pop artist, Adele, has cleared the air of recent suspicions and rumors of her performing at Super Bowl 2017. On August 13, 2016, Adele confirmed that she will not be performing during half time. Adele has always been known for her ballads, and she says that she does not think she is a good fit to perform at an event such as the Super Bowl.

On August 14, 2016, the NFL said they are a fan of the singer, but had never officially asked anyone to perform at next year's half time show.
Kenny Baker Dies at age 81
The man behind the popular R2-D2 character in Star Wars, Kenny Baker, has passed away on August 13. The actor, who was 3 feet 8 inches, started playing R2-D2 in 1977 on "Episode IV - A New Hope". Over the entirety of his career, the actor also starred in, "Time Bandits," "Flash Gordon" and "The Elephant Man". Shortly after the death, Baker's niece, Abigail Shield said, "It was expected, but it’s sad nonetheless,” she said. “He had a very long and fulfilled life. He brought lots of happiness to people and we’ll be celebrating the fact that he was well loved throughout the world. We’re all very proud of what he achieved in his lifetime." When the filming of the new Star Wars film was happening, Baker was unable to even attend that due to him being too ill to even be able to travel.
National Guard Activated in Milwaukee After Riots Follow Police Shooting
On August 13, 2016, crowds gathered in an attempt to cause chaos after an armed man was fatally shot by police at around 3:30 p.m. that same day. The police were able to recover a handgun loaded with 23 rounds. Officials have not said whether or not the officers were being aimed at by the gun. That night, a large crowd of more than 100 people decided to create havoc in the city of Milwaukee. They set multiple fires, damaged police cars, and injured four police officers which led to the National Guard being called in. By around 2 a.m., the crowds began to scatter off and was the end of a chaotic day for Milwaukee.

Good edition, though Pisces A and B are old news. Many light millennia old.
