17 spooky scary phone games to play this Halloween - CNET
Five Nights at Freddy's
Now this is one of the creepiest games we've ever seen on a mobile platform. Originally made for PC, Five Nights at Freddy's sees you take on the role of night guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Why does a pizzeria -- an increasingly unsuccessful one at that -- need a night guard? Well, it seems the animatronic robots that entertain the children during the day -- Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken and Foxy the Pirate Fox -- become active at night. Active, and murderous.
From your base inside the security room, you can monitor them via staticky camera feeds, closing the doors when they draw near -- but you have limited power that you need to conserve, and the longer you work there, the more restless the animals become. Packaged up inside some terrifying gameplay is a mystery: What happened to the bodies of the murdered children? And why do the animatronics walk by themselves?
Your device needs at least 1GB of RAM for the game to work properly.

Boosie Badazz’ Spot-on Impression of Megan Thee Stallion is the Funniest Thing You’ll See Today
If you’re not following Boosie Badazz on Instagram, you’re missing out because it’s pure comedy every time he goes live.
In his most recent IG Live session, the Louisiana rapper was playing some unreleased music, and when the beat dropped on one particular song, he remarked how Megan Thee Stallion would be the perfect rapper to feature on it.
“Meg the Stallion gone kill that bitch!” Boosie said before going into a freestyle that sounded just like the H-Town Hottie.

Best gaming PCs for 2019 - CNET
Looking for the best gaming PC in 2019? We might be able to help. But first I should disclose that, in all my decades of offering buying advice, Windows desktop PC recommendations have always been among the hardest, at least beyond the basic stream-video-and-surf-the-web systems. And gaming PCs rank one of the most difficult of the difficult, at least if you're in the 99% for whom cost matters. There are just too many choices, with too many permutations.
Read: Best gaming chairs we've sat in for 2019 | Best graphics cards for PC gamers and creatives in 2019 | Best phone for gaming in 2019: Razer 2 vs. Asus ROG, Xiaomi Black Shark, Nubia Red Magic Mars | Best cheap gaming mouse
We've hit a pretty big transitional period with respect to picking the two major system components, processor and graphics card. Intel in August announced the first wave of its eagerly awaited Ice Lake-architecture 10th-generation Core i processors. Though I don't expect a huge performance improvement in typical CPU tasks, Ice Lake's upgraded graphics engine might affect how important a discrete graphics card is to you; we won't know until we get to test some systems. 10th-generation adds Thunderbolt 3 native support as well -- no driver necessary -- which hopefully will speed its adoption in Windows desktops. At the very least, the faster transfer can potentially make storing or swapping games externally a lot less painful.
In addition, AMD finally shipped the first of its new line of mainstream gaming cards, the Radeon RX 5700 series. Nvidia countered with "Super" versions of its GeForce RTX cards; it doesn't provide new performance thresholds, but the pricing change affect the head-to-head choice in gaming experience with AMD.
Disclosure: CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.
Recommended systems
Choosing a PC is all about trade-offs. Every game uses system resources -- processor (CPU), graphics processor (GPU), memory (RAM), storage -- differently, and often horribly inefficiently. You can't even count on resource core usage consistency across a specific game genre, such as first-person shooter (FPS) or platformer, because optimization levels can vary wildly. Gaming (and content-creation) PCs are the angry toddlers of consumer electronics: they are loud, willful, require constant supervision and just when you think they're under control, they veer off into crazytown.
I'll admit, I'm waving my hands a bit here: these are not recommendations for specific systems, more for ballpark configurations and honorable mentions of the manufacturers or system builders with a specific case design that you should consider in various scenarios. (And when it's time to sweat the details, User Benchmark is a great site for getting a sense of key features, and performance deltas between different components.)
If you want a little more guidance beyond these recommendations, scroll down to the end of the story. And note that this is not my final word; this story will evolve over time.
HP's Pavilion Gaming Desktop is a compact, budget-friendly, spare-me-the-flashiness model, targeting the same "casual" gamer as Dell's Inspiron Gaming or Acer's Nitro lines, but a lot more understated. This $750 base model should provide at least the minimum you need to play relatively undemanding games in 1080p without poking your eyes out with a stick: i5-8400 with a free Optane upgrade to accelerate disk operations for the 1TB hard disk a little, a GTX 1050 Ti and 8GB of RAM. That's about what you get with budget gaming laptops. It's got a ton of connections on the front, though -- four USB-A, one USB-C and an SD card slot.
Another option that's a little more powerful for just a little more dough, CyberpowerPC's Gamer Xtreme VR (GXiVR8060A7) is aggressively priced for its components -- for a little over $800, you get a GTX 160 and additional 120GB SSD over the HP. That little nudge in specs may be enough to tip performance into the acceptable range for some games.
For less than a grand, you won't get terrific performance from this midsize desktop -- well, midsize for a gaming system -- but you should be able to get more than 60fps in 1080p on action-oriented (i.e., not full of big-texture, detailed graphics) games. The chassis not only has a lot of connectors, it has a relative bounty of USB ports in the front -- one USB-C and three USB-A.
The $800 base configuration includes an i5-9400, 8GB RAM, a Radeon RX 560X and a 1TB hard drive. If you can afford it, I really recommend going with a solid-state drive (SSD) instead, even though it's much smaller capacities; Windows reallly does run faster. You can always get an inexpensive external hard drive for near-line storage. You may also want to spend a little more for the 2x2 Wi-Fi networking card.
However, if you're just looking to blast through 1080p and can spend more, upgrade to a GTX 1660 Ti (a plain 1660 would be fine, too, but it's not an option), 16GB of RAM and/or a 512GB SSD. Those should also bump your performance level up to decent 1440p performance on some games.
While HD (1,920x1,080) is still the most popular gaming resolution, 1440p (also referred to as 2K for its 2,560x1,440 resolution) is sl-o-o-o-o-wly starting to rise in popularity. A 1440p-capable system has the side benefit of allowing for smooth 1080p play at a higher quality as well, so even if you're not ready to play in 1440p, you can think of it as future-proofing.
The GTX 1660 Ti is a solid choice here, and coupling it with an overclockable i5-9600K, 16GB 3,200MHz RAM and a 1TB SSD should give you great 1080p frame rates and decent 1440p at high quality. It's not cheap at about $1,800 for the setup, but it's reasonable for the components as well as Digital Storm's gorgeous and compact Bolt X case (though not as small as the never-materialized Project Spark) , plus moral support in the company's relatively active on-site forums.
Falcon Northwest specializes in blazingly fast systems wrapped in custom paint jobs. The Tiki is its most compact system, yet you can cram up to a top-of-the-line i9-9900K and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti into it.
The Talon, on the other hand, has the design of a mundane midtower, but that means it can pack in a lot of high-end components, including an 18-core i9-9980XE and dual RTX 2080 Ti cards (or dual Quadro P6000s). And once you customize the chassis it's not so mundane anymore.
Unfortunately, you're stuck with the onboard audio and networking for some of the configurations, like the i9-9900K/dual RTX 2080 Ti we just tested, and of course, get ready to throw wads of cash at it. You do get personalized service, though the website is noticeably devoid of support information -- all you get is the hardcopy documentation and media arranged in a binder -- and FNW doesn't have its own command center software.
If you're going for maximum performance or maximum configurability, then go boutique. You can get fast systems for the same breathtaking prices from companies like Alienware, but they're a little more cookie cutter (though it feels odd to call anything that looks like the Area-51 "cookie cutter"), tend to be more conservatively tuned, and when you drop $10,000 on a system, you're still just a drop in the bucket for Dell's business.
In addition to the extra care, boutique sites like Falcon Northwest, Origin PC, Digital Storm and so on are a lot more transparent about the components you're choosing -- none more extreme than Origin PC, where your choices get pretty granular. In addition to picking the brand and speed of memory and power supply, which is typical, you choose which motherboard you want and what color the cover for the power supply cables should be.
Being able to choose the motherboard rather than just the chipset can be important; they all have their quirks, lighting schemes (I love the visual of the MSI Z390 Godlike we had in the Millennium we tested) and connector differences, for example.
And if you want reliable, smooth 4K gaming, especially with HDR tossed in, you're going to need at least an i9-9900K and RTX 2080 Ti. Probably two 2080 Tis if you want a side of ray tracing with that.
Origin PC's cases aren't the prettiest on the outside, though you can get custom paint jobs and laser etching to bling them up, but they're well designed -- easy to open and work inside -- and what you see through the transparent side panels looks great. And you can get 'em big: the Millennium is the second-largest case option and it still intimidated all the other desktops on the lab bench.
Digital Storm also has thoughtfully designed cases. I love the Aventum X which has perks such as quick-disconnect fittings on the cooling tubes so you can actually get your hands in to swap components. Plus, it's a sleek standing slab with cool lighting schemes that really give off the Tron vibe.
Origin PC is serious about its shipping.
Sarah Tew/CNETAs you configure your gaming rig, here are some considerations to keep in mind:
- For whichever CPU you buy, get the latest generation available. It's usually indicated by by the first digit of the CPU model name; in this case, that means eighth - or ninth-generation for Intel Core i (such as i7-9700K, a ninth-gen processor) and third generation for AMD Ryzen (e.g., Ryzen 7 3700X). That may or may not still be true once we see a subsequent generation of either, but for now, there have been noticeable performance increases from the previous generations.
- A "gaming system" is effectively defined by its use of a discrete graphics processor, which, for the moment at least, means AMD Radeon or Nvidia GeForce graphics. So it (should) go without saying that you should avoid dirt-cheap configurations with integrated GPUs (iGPUs). However, if the best can afford right now is an iGPU-based system, make sure it either has sufficient slot space and power supply for a GPU upgrade. Unfortunately, Thunderbolt 3 ports on desktops are pretty scarce, so attaching an external GPU (eGPU) at some point in the future may not be an option yet.
- Figure out what kind of tech support client you are. Do you waste hours banging away at a problem, scouring the web for help, rather than contacting the company -- guilty! -- or do you want humans available to you to quickly help smooth over the rough patches? Big manufacturers usually have active user forums scattered around the web for user-to-user help and knowledge-bases with some troubleshooting help; boutique builders, not so much, because you're paying a premium for more personal human help and because the configurations are highly customized.
- Before you start configuring, think about what your most frequently played games are and check out forums to figure out whether their performance depends on a gazillion-core CPU or eats GPU cycles. Can they take noticeable advantage of 4K resolution, or do they look the same as in HD, just with an unplayably large drop in frame rate?
- On the flip side, don't get hung up too much on frame rates past a certain point: if you look at the numbers across a variety of benchmarks and game types, you do get a sense of the relative power of one configuration over another. But your goal is smooth gameplay -- depending upon the game and your monitor's capabilities, that can vary from a minimum of 60fps to 240fps or more -- at a quality level that pleases you and that fits within your budget. The Falcon Northwest and Origin PC systems I've tested most recently have given me over 200fps in 4K running Doom because that game takes advantage of the dual GPUs in it. But I'd be dying just as spectacularly at 120fps in 1440p (2,560x1,440) and have learned I would gladly exchange some of those frames for more stability in Adobe's applications.
- Intel vs. AMD CPUs: Unless you're buying a custom build or doing it yourself, you really don't get to choose comparable configurations to mix and match. The manufacturers tend to choose the configurations based on what they think will be popular at given price levels. Pick your preferred graphics card and then see what CPU options are on offer within your budget. AMDs tend to have slower clock speeds -- they have higher base clocks and lower boost clocks -- but better multicore performance for the same money. If your favorite games are old, they probably don't take advantage of more than four cores (if that), and will likely give you the power you need from Intel's fast individual cores.

White Man Who Allegedly Beat, Threatened & Molested Young Black Boy Will Not Be Charged
An Indiana man accused of sexually assaulting a child at his wife’s daycare will not face any charges for his alleged crimes … at least not for now.
38-year-old Gregory Michael Johnston of Evansville was charged back in February with six counts of child molesting as a Level 1 felony and one count of dissemination of matter harmful to minors, a level 6 felony, stemming from a series of incidents in which he sexually violated a young Black boy over a 2-year period.
The disturbing case gained national attention after Tammy Rivera (wife of rapper Waka Flocka) posted about it on Instagram Tuesday morning (Oct. 22), encouraging her millions of followers to call the City of Evansville and the prosecutor’s office demanding it not be dismissed.
This man Gregory Michael Johnston had been molesting a 8 year old African American little boy while he was in his care at His wife’s daycare since he was 6 years old…. this man put a gun to this child and made his perform sex act on him until he threw up… he sodomized this child repeatedly for years… he beat this little boy with something called the “Golden Spoon”….
This man was well known to the family and was trusted. Not only did he threaten this child once with a gun he threatened him twice, saying if he told anyone about what happened he would kill the little boy and his family… After police found evidence and arrested this man he was then released on a 15,000 dollar bond..
The prosecutor called the mother of the 8 year old boy and told her they have FILED A MOTION TO DISMISS HIS CASE WITHOUT MOTHERS CONSENT, because the child isn’t mentally stable to stand [trial]… CALL INTO Evansville,In AND ASK WHY ISN’T THIS LIL BOY BEING HEARD?! Why is this man still allowed to be around kids and still working at the daycare??!! WE NEED ANSWERS NOW!! I spoke with the mother @justcallmejo83 last night and she feels terrified and alone! I told her no more!!”
Unfortunately, those requests fell on deaf ears because just a few hours later, Johnston’s attorney revealed that the case had been dismissed and the charges against his client were dropped.
According to the Courier & Press, deputy prosecutor Emily Hall wrote in a motion to dismiss the case that the “state has been informed that the victim is unavailable to testify and does not know when the victim will be available to testify.”
Hall’s spokeswoman said in a statement to media that the decision to dismiss the case against Johnston was made “upon recommendation of the therapists and community partners involved in this case.”
The statement read: “The State of Indiana was forced to dismiss the case without prejudice in hopes of re-filing charges in the future. The ultimate goal of our office is to hold any criminal wrong-doer to justice, however the health and well-being of our victim is of the utmost important and must take priority.”
The mother of the reported victim, Kelly Jo Marshall, has spoken out on social media, saying she’s angry and wants justice for her child.
In an emotional Facebook Live video from last Friday (Oct. 18), Marshall said she’s not used to putting her “business out there. But after the phone call I got today … I just don’t understand … Maybe it’s not for me to understand. But what do I know? As a mother, I’m going through every parent’s worth nightmare.”
She said the phone call she received was from the prosecutor’s office saying that they were filing a motion to dismiss the case and drop Johnston’s charges.
“I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy,” Marshall said while trying to hold back tears. “The system is really messed up. This man molested my child, a man that I called ‘bruh.’ … This man was a pallbearer at my mom’s funeral. This whole time this man was messing with my son, messing with him.
“And for that prosecutor to call me today to tell me they are putting in a motion for dismissal. That was a smack in the face because you know what I’ve done, I’ve done everything they’ve asked me to do!”
Marshall was shouting and crying emotionally throughout most of the live stream.
“He gets to be out around other people’s kids?!” she asked. “How the f**k is that even right?! I’m supposed to sit here and trust the motherf**king system. Really?! Nah, I’m not trusting nobody else!”
Marshall also expressed anger at Johnston, telling him he would “reap what you sow because you have completely robbed my son from everything, everything. My son is not the same little boy. He’ll never be the same little boy ever because of you. And you out here walking.”
For what it’s worth, Gregory Johnston’s attorney, Glenn Grampp, says he believes his client is innocent.
“Some of the allegations frankly didn’t make sense,” Grampp told the Courier & Press. “They just weren’t accurate. There was going to come a time when the rough had to meet the road, when we have to take depositions and other evidence comes up. There were a lot of inaccuracies.”
He continued: “That case was never what it was played up to be. It never was. The facts were never as they were alleged to have been in the (probable cause affidavit).
“These types of allegations are horrendous. But if you don’t do something, if you didn’t commit the crime, that stain is left on your character for a long, long time. If the mother is out there playing that tune on social media, I can’t prevent her from doing that.”
Grampp said the charges against Johnston were dismissed without prejudice and the case could be filed again.

Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney’s Body Found Inside Dumpster at Landfill, Birmingham Police Confirm
Police have confirmed that the body of a 3-year-old girl who went missing more than a week ago in Birmingham, Alabama was found inside a dumpster at a landfill.
Birmingham Police Chief Patrick Smith said in a news conference that the remains of Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney were located in a trash bin that had been taken to a landfill. He said investigators had been watching garbage deposits there.
Two suspects, 39-year-old Patrick Stallworth and his girlfriend, 29-year-old Derick Irisha Brown, are facing charges of kidnapping and capital murder in the case.
Stallworth and Brown had previously been placed in police custody on unrelated charges and were considered persons of interest in the toddler’s disappearance.
Kamille McKinney, also known by her nickname “Cupcake,” vanished on October 12th while outside at a birthday party. An Amber Alert was issued that same day.
Stallworth was arrested after police found a vehicle seen near where McKinney was abducted. He was previously charged with child pornography, but police said the charge wasn’t related to the missing child.
Police said it wasn’t immediately clear how long the little girl may have been dead.
Investigators said they weren’t aware of a link between the suspects and the girl or her family, Smith said.
“We believe this was something they thought about and acted upon. They saw an opportunity to take a young child, and they did,” said Smith, who didn’t reveal a potential motive.
Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said the girl’s parents were experiencing “unimaginable” pain. “This is a tough moment for our city, a tough moment for the family,” he said.
Lawyers for both Stallworth and Brown say they’re innocent.

Mugshot Madness: White Man Named Tupac Shakur Arrested for Meth Possession After Pulling Knife on Police in Tennessee
A white man who shares his name with rap legend Tupac Shakur was arrested in Tennessee over the weekend after he threatened police with a knife and was caught with illegal drugs.
Johnson City Free Press reports that 40-year-old Tupac Amaru Shakur (yes, that’s his real name) had warrants out for his arrest and was seen Saturday (Oct. 19) leaving in a vehicle from an area where police had been called.
Police eventually caught up with the vehicle, with Shakur still sitting in the passenger seat.
When police tried to place Shakur in custody, he pulled away and reached for his waistband.
He then tried to run toward the officers with a knife, but was taken down and subdued after a brief struggle.
Brady Higgins, the arresting officer, told Oxygen.com that Shakur told them several times “You’re gonna have to f**king kill me!” and even continued to berate police as he was being taken into custody.
“Shakur continued to state that I was gonna have to kill him and that I was ‘a bitch’ for not killing him,” Officer Higgins stated in the arrest affidavit.
Police said they found a syringe and multiple baggies of methamphetamine on Shakur and in the Pontiac he was riding in.
He was booked and charged for possession of methamphetamine, as well as drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest and aggravated assault.
Shakur is being held on $18,000 bond at the Washington County Detention Center. He was arraigned Monday (Oct. 21) and is expected back on court on October 31st.
