Game designer Sam Barlow deserves a lot of credit for driving the redemption of FMVs. The full-motion video game format was pioneered in the early 90s as a cutting-edge visual technique in an age when computer graphics were more simplistic.But long before that, filmmakers were experimenting with ways to make films more interactive, in theaters and on home DVDs. The efforts met with uneven success until Black Mirror: Bandersnatch became a hit, simultaneously justifying the interactive format and killing all future attempts at it.As part of the launch of our documentary The Great Game: The Making of Spycraft, we asked FMV aficionado (and prolific podcaster and former Polygon writer) Justin McElroy to sit down with Barlow and talk about the appeal of this strange genre, and the ways its changed through the history of entertainment. You can find the whole conversation in the video above. The Great Game: The Making of Spycraft was recently nominated by the New York Videogame Critics Circle for a New York Game Award for Best Games Journalism. You can learn more about the New York Game Awards and our fellow nominees here.Sam Barlow: There were a couple of movies in theaters in the 90s where you got the big plastic buttons. And they were just terrible.Justin McElroy: Im Your Man is one that I know was on you could get it on DVD. It was an interactive DVD, one of those types of things where you could make the choices with your home remote.Barlow: Theres such a good talk, I think its online I think I want to say Brian Moriarty did it at NYU about interactive movies where hes like, Hey, people have been trying to do this thing for ages. And going back to the early fake interactive movies. William Castle, the great producer, did a movie called Mr. Sardonicus. And the gimmick of that movie because he loved his gimmicks was when you went into the theater, you were given a big maybe it was like a big hand, or some sort of big prop. At the end of the movie, the character turns to the audience, so were establishing that already, and says, Hey, what do you think? Should this big evil villain, Sardonicus, should he be punished or should we forgive him? You, the audience, will now decide. And everyone would have to raise or lower their thing to signal if they wanted to kill the guy. And one of the ushers would make a show of tallying the votes and then disappear. And then the movie would play out, and the ending you got would depend on the vote. Heres the thing: William Castle understood his audience. He knew the vote was always going to be to punish. So it was a linear movie. It was just a movie that waited three minutes, and went, The audience has decided to punish Mr. Sardonicus.McElroy: Well, just these past couple of weeks, Megalopolis was released with an interactive scene with an audience member whos supposed to come up and do a line in the film. Thats an interactive element.Barlow: I still need to watch that movie, but I will say the stuff Ive seen looks like a 90s interactive movie. Like some of the back projection, the CGI, and certainly the performances.McElroy: Its up to about eight CDs.Barlow: Jon Voight is the exact guy you wouldve cast in a 90s FMV at the time.McElroy: I think his disc had some scratches on it. Jon was having a rough time.Barlow: Youd be like, Could we get some Hollywood talent in our FMV game? And theyd be like, Well, Tom Cruise isnt returning our calls, but Jon Voight is down as long as we donate some money towards the Trump campaign or something.McElroy: Do you wish more people were sort of exploring this space, this interactive cinema area? Do you feel like there is a lot of room for iteration and growth, or do you think that it is going to remain a sort of subgenre or even sort of a branching media between two different types of media?Barlow: If I dont be cynical for a second, I get very excited about the possibilities. And I think when Her Story blew up, I got a lot of meetings with people in Hollywood and stuff, at a time when Netflix were sort of disrupting things and lots of people were like, Fuck, we need to figure out how we are going to do the digital thing. We need to figure out how were going to get gamers watching television again. Because they dont. Theyre too busy on their phones, right? And I was like, This is really cool, because I think there is so much interesting stuff that could be done on the Im going to say TV side versus the game side. And the tech is kind of there, and I think there could be a huge, interesting shift that would create really interesting things.Then in the how many years has it been now? nearly 10 years since, Ive just seen like, Oh no, the world of Hollywood is so risk-averse that I kept being told time and time again: We dont want to be number one. We want to be number two. Let somebody else break the ground, and then we can step in. So I would hear things like, Well, do you know what? When Steven Soderbergh brings out Mosaic, then the floodgates will open.Mosaic came out and didnt change things. I think you look at Bandersnatch and that came out [on Netflix] and I think that kind of killed a lot of these discussions because it was almost if you were trying to kill that movement dead, Bandersnatch was a great way of doing it, because it was very successful. The Hollywood mindset goes, OK, lets replicate that. Well, hang on a minute: It worked because it was Black Mirror, which was an IP that allowed you to have fun with technology, have that sort of humor to it and just that sort of self-awareness. The story was about 80s Choose Your Own Adventure games.McElroy: Right, the form and the content are sort of [baked in].Barlow: And youve seen Netflix struggle. They were like, Oh, were going to make tons of these now. Well actually everything done since doesnt have those affordances. So that structure of essentially the Choose Your Own Adventure TV show breaks down when you cant nod and wink at the camera, when it isnt self-referential, when its not about the literal thing that it is. And so I think it kind of killed things because all the other people in the industry went, Well, hey, Netflix did a really good job of that and it was really successful, but I just dont see how like, its a one and done. And I think that allowed people to retreat back.[Ed.s note: In December 2024, two months after this conversation, Netflix pulled all but four of its interactive programs. Bandersnatch is one of the remaining titles.]Whereas [] take Netflix, theyve to use a phrase I hate theyve gamified the experience of choosing what to watch, right? Ive stopped doing this now because I want to escape my digital hell. But there was a period where if I had a free evening and my family were out or something and I got to choose what was on TV, Id be like, OK, Daddys going to watch something cool on the television. And I would sit down, and 45 minutes later Im still paging through Netflix, looking at the stuff, seeing the algorithmic choices. So theyve done a really good job of making the browsing the shelf experience feel very interactive. Its personalized, right? I get different shows pushed to me. Not only do I get different shows, I get different thumbnails. The funny thing of like, you get the stuff right, where its like, the thumbnail says Godfather, and then its a picture of one of the female characters from The Godfather that doesnt even have a speaking line, because the algorithm has decided, Oh, you like things with women in them, we need to push that on you.And then the other one that delighted me was when there was a Netflix show, Love, Death & Robots. And a cool thing with an anthology show is you have to decide what order to put the episodes in. And this is a fascinating problem. If you think of a traditional linear setup, its like, you cant have the best episode first because youre going to then kind of fail to meet expectations. But you want a good episode.McElroy: [Laughs] Not too good!Barlow: The episode that will hook people, but still give us room to have the best episode. And Netflix being algorithmic and all this were like, Hey, we know how to solve for this problem. We can run A/B tests and we can try different algorithmic episode orders and see which works best. So they did this for Love, Death & Robots. There was a journalist for one of the tech sites who was gay. He watches Love, Death & Robots. First episode he gets is the quote-unquote gay episode, and his flatmate is also watching Love, Death & Robots, and the episode he gets is the quote-unquote extremely heterosexual episode, and the two of them are like, Wait, fuck, does Netflix know that Im gay? And then youre like, Yeah, it probably does. If Netflix is watching what Im watching, you could make assumptions. And then they were extremely creeped out. So this guy wrote this article of like, Holy hell, Big Brother is watching. Netflix knows that Im gay and is now targeting content based on my sexuality. This is kind of scary. To which Netflix had to immediately step in and be like, We werent, it was random. We were just randomly choosing episodes.McElroy: But also this is a really good idea, and we are going to write this down, if thats OK with everybody.Barlow: I was like, Theres something so cool Its almost like building to a kind of War of the Worlds moment of like, Hey, my video content, which historically has been static and safe and behind my TV screen, is somehow aware and alive.Well be running more excerpts from this conversation between Sam Barlow and Justin McElroy each weekend, for the next few weeks.

As an active TikTok user, I have been trying to ignore the impending reality of next weeks closure. While my fingers are crossed for a last minute save, and I still plan to try to use it after the 19th, yesterday I began the process of preserving all my data. If youre a TikTok user, you should, too. Heres how.Download your likes, favorites, and followsMy three main concerns before the ban are making sure I have a list of people I follow, so I can follow them elsewhere, grabbing videos Ive bookmarked since they probably had some utility, and saving my own videos. TikTok is the best place to start, since they have a built in feature that gives you all of that data as a document. You can request a data download of all your personal settings including your likes, followers, follows, bookmarks, and a list of your posts. Note: this does not include any actual videos; its more an inventory for you to work off of. Credit: Amanda Blum To request this data, go to your profile, and click on the menu from the upper right hand side. Go to Settings and Privacy > Account > Download your data. Note that you can select what types of data you want to download and what format you want it in (text file or JSON). A text file is more useful right now, since it will output your information in a format you can easily access, but having a JSON file might enable you to work with future utilities to help import follows and likes to another platform, so I recommend grabbing both formats of data. This means going through this exercise twice. Once for the text file, once for the JSON file (a computer language) to store in case some TikTok replacement can use it in the future to make importing follows or likes easy.Once the file is ready, youll need to verify an SMS code sent to the phone number on record for the account to download the file. While youll likely conduct this operation on your phone, once youve downloaded the file, locate it in your file manager and click on Share and then email it to yourself.How to save your own videosThe most painful (but cost effective) way to save your own videos is to simply visit each of them and download individually. Once the video is open from your profile, click the three dots in the lower right corner and select Download Video. If it sounds labor intensive, it is.If youre a confident coder with some JSON experience, you can use a free tool a TikToker built that theyve open sourced on GitHub. You'll need that JSON file for this method to work. Credit: Amanda Blum A simpler solution was Tokbackup, a web utility that you can use from your desktop. For $5 a month, you can download up to 6,000 videos for up to three profiles (higher priced plans allow for more profiles). You can use this utility to download all the videos of any profile, not just your own, so while it wont save all your favorite videos, if you love one particular creator, this is a reasonable solution to grab all their videos to rewatch at home. Tokbackup took about ten minutes to grab all 100 of my videos, and I was pleased to see the data download included my most frequent hashtags, as well. Once the utility had grabbed them, you click on download to save a zipped file to your hard drive. For 100 videos, my file was almost 4GB, so you may want to find someplace in the cloud to park the file. Once downloaded, remember to cancel your account so you dont get charged next month.There are additional tools, like Repurpose.io, which will reportedly download all your videos for you, and even crosspost them to other platforms, but at a steep cost ($349 for the year).How to save your favorited or liked videosIf youd specifically like to grab videos from other people that you liked or favorited, you can download them individually, as noted above. However, I had luck using the MyFaveTT extension for Chrome, which is free. Credit: Amanda Blum Once installed, open it and connect to TikTok on the desktop. From there, you select whether youd like to save your liked or favorited videos, and designate a location for them on your hard drive. This was a pretty seamless process, and over the course of an hour, all my bookmarked videos were saved. Depending on how many videos this is, it could take up hefty resources on your hard drive, so as above, you may want to have someplace online to park the videos until you need them. Credit: Amanda Blum While I wish there were one utility that would grab all the data and videos I want at once, piecing these methods together will result in getting all your content out of TikTok safely.

Samsungs first big launch of 2025 is almost here. Galaxy Unpacked will take place on January 22 at 1PM ET in San Jose, CA, where Samsungs Next Big Thing (to borrow a 14-year-old marketing slogan) will be revealed. What exactly will be on tap? Well, apart from a few sure bets and some likely leaks, only those sworn to a blood oath under an NDA know for certain. But here are the most likely products and features well see. Spoilers: There will be phones.Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 UltraGalaxy S24 UltraSam Rutherford for EngadgetMuch like Apple reveals its latest iPhones at its first fall event, Samsung typically launches its mainline Galaxy S flagships at its first Unpacked shindig of the year. You can bet the farm that there will be Galaxy S25 phones at this event. And given Samsungs recent trend of launching three tiers of flagships standard, Plus and Ultra you can bet well see that again. (Samsung could technically change the brand names, but the three-layered lineup is practically guaranteed.) Theres even an FCC certification (first spotted by 91Mobiles) to dispel any doubts.The degree of certainty falls sharply once we dig into the phones features. A subtle redesign with rounded corners, flatter edges and thinner bezels appears likely based on a leaked video posted to Reddit and images from reputable tipster Ice Universe. But this isnt expected to be the generation where Samsungs hiring of a former Mercedes-Benz designer will lead to drastic aesthetic changes.Android Headlines also posted plenty of pictures of the purported Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra that confirm the relatively minor redesign. The site also claims the screen size for the Galaxy S25 and S25+ are unchanged from last year at 6.2 and 6.7 inches, respectively. The Ultra gets an ever-so-slightly bigger display at 6.9 inches.QualcommAt least in the US, the phone is practically guaranteed to use Qualcomms Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which the chip-maker revealed in October. (Qualcomm even listed Samsung among the companies launching devices with that processor in the coming weeks.) Like just about every flagship processor these days, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is built for on-device generative AI, which aligns with Samsungs Galaxy AI blitz in recent models.We dont know whether the company will split its S25 processors between Snapdragon (US and other markets) and Exynos (everywhere else), but Ice Universe has claimed it will be all Snapdragon this generation. That would be a good thing, given whats often a glaring performance and battery life disparity favoring Qualcomm. There would be precedence, too: although the vast majority of Galaxy S generations have had different processors regionally, the S23 had the same "Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy" chip globally.Samsung is rumored to stick with last-generation OLED displays (made with M13 organic materials) instead of the brighter and more efficient M14 OLED panels used in the iPhone 16 Pro and Google Pixel 9. Logic suggests Samsung would want its best homemade screen in its best phones especially when its competitors are already using it. But it could stick with the cheaper panels to keep the bill of materials down. Perhaps it calculated that better displays dont make for better generative AI (the obsession of nearly every tech company right now), while the latest Qualcomm chip does.Speaking of AI, expect Samsung to devote a perhaps agonizingly long portion of the event to generative AI features. The hit-or-miss DigiTimes reported last month that the Galaxy S25 series will include an AI Agent that provides personalized clothing suggestions and transport information. What that would look like in practice is anyones guess, but Im not sure I want to know.SamsungThe phones will run Samsungs One UI 7 on top of Android 15. We know this because Samsung said in October that its user experience (based on Android 15) will launch on the next Galaxy S flagships. Its already available in beta for Galaxy S24 phones. Samsung has said that One UI 7 will be its "first integrated AI platform." It added that Galaxy phones "will become true AI companions" that are able to understand natural language derived from speech, images and text.On the camera front, Ice Universe claims (via Android Headlines) its confirmed that only the ultra-wide sensor will see an upgrade in the Galaxy S25 Ultra to 50MP from 12MP in last years model. The leaker says the S25 Ultra will stick with a 200MP main sensor, 10MP 3x zoom and 50MP 5x zoom.Galaxy S24 UltraSam Rutherford for EngadgetSamsung will add the Qi2 wireless charging standard to its new flagships and that comes straight from the horses (aka, the Wireless Power Consortiums) mouth. However, leaker chunvn8888 (aka yawn) says Samsungs phones wont have built-in magnets for Qi2s native MagSafe in everything but name charging. Given that's the main benefit of Qi2, this would be disappointing news. Instead, the leaker says Samsung will sell a first-party case with a Qi2 magnetic ring to enable that. (Gotta move those accessories, baby!) Is it really Qi2 if you need a case?Rumors have buzzed about an alleged Galaxy S25 Slim with a you guessed it slimmer design joining the trio at some point this year. Thats something Apple is also rumored to be working on. Leakers have posted numerous renders this past week comparing how the different size options may compare to each other. A post from Ice Universe puts the S25 Slim at 6.4mm. However, given the FCC certifications only appear to cover the familiar trio of flagships, that phone (if its in the pipeline at all) may not arrive until later in the year.Galaxy Ring 2, Samsung XR and AR glassesGalaxy RingSam Rutherford for EngadgetDigiTimes reported in December that Samsung would show off (or maybe just tease) the Galaxy Ring 2 and augmented reality (AR) glasses during its January Unpacked event.The Taiwanese publication says the Galaxy Ring 2 will add two more sizes to the nine from the original model, which only launched in July. The second-gen wearable health tracker is said to add new AI features (surprise!) and updated sensors for more accurate measurements. The Galaxy Ring 2 is also rumored to last longer than the current models maximum of seven days.GoogleDigiTimes also claims Samsungs AR glasses which the company has confirmed its working on will look like regular prescription glasses and weigh around 50g. It says the futuristic glasses would use Googles Gemini AI, which aligns with what we already know about Samsungs partnership with Google and Qualcomm on Android XR. But given the lack of supply chain rumors surrounding the glasses, its likely that any mention at the event would amount to little more than a teaser, a la its grand reveal of... a stinkin render for the first Galaxy Ring at Unpacked 2024.We also know Samsung is co-developing an Android XR (extended reality) headset codenamed Project Moohan alongside Google and Qualcomm. The lightweight and ergonomically designed headset will have a state-of-the-art display, passthrough video and natural multi-modal input. Googles renderings show a wearable reminiscent of Apples $3,500 Vision Pro.Project MoohanGoogle / SamsungSince Google only recently began offering a developer kit and API for the platform, any glimpse of it at Unpacked wouldnt likely include an imminent release or deep dive into its hardware.Engadget will have full coverage of Samsungs first Unpacked event of 2025. More to come on January 22!Update, January 13 2025, 12:58PM ET: This story has been updated with purported images and more details on the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra from Android Headlines.Update, January 14 2025, 3:20PM ET: This story has been updated with some more information about One UI 7.Update, January 17 2025, 12:45PM ET: This story has been updated with more details on the Galaxy S25's processor and the history of processors in the Galaxy S series.Update, January 19, 2025, 12:15PM ET: This story has been updated with more information about the rumored Galaxy S25 Slim.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s25-unpacked-2025-event-what-to-expect-on-wednesday-202024600.html?src=rss

If youre starting to think about buying your first place but dont know the difference between home equity and Homer Simpson, dont worry. Youre not alone.The home-buying industry works differently from a lot of the rest of the economy, and comes with its own vocabulary, standards, and expectations. Many of us dont even realize we have a home-buying knowledge gap until were sitting across from a bank officer, wondering if the mortgage points they keep talking about have something to do with correct answers to trivia questions. (Sadly, points are a lot less fun than that.)Even well-meaning financial experts with teaching experience (ahem) can forget the importance of defining concepts. The term home equity is a prime example of the kind of important term that gets bandied about as if everyone knows exactly what it is. And that can make it intimidating to ask. But home equity is too significant a part of ownership for you to rely on a vague understanding and general vibes.Heres everything you need to know about what home equity is, how you can get someand why exactly it makes financial professionals flush with pleasure.Mortgage basicsTo understand home equity, you need to start with mortgage lending.Homes in the U.S. have a median sales price of $420,000-plus, which is an amount of money youre unlikely to have set aside in checking or hanging out in the pocket of the coat you havent worn since last winter.This is why pretty much every homebuyer has to take out a mortgage loan to purchase a house. With a mortgage loan, the buyer will make a down payment to the lender, and the lender finances the rest of the purchase. The buyer will then make monthly payments of principal (the original amount borrowed) plus interest to the lender until the mortgage is paid, which typically takes 30 years.As of 2024, first time homebuyers financed a median of 91% of their home purchase price, meaning they made a down payment of 8%. For a $420,000 home, that would mean a down payment of $33,600 and a mortgage loan for $386,400.Property valuesThe next component of equity is the value of the home, which is a more amorphous designation than most things you buy. Theres no price tag on a home, since a house is worth what a buyer is willing to pay.Homes are also unlike most other purchases because its an appreciating asset. In other words, homes are usually worth more money as time goes on, even though most things you can buy lose value.Since property values have traditionally had a consistent upward trajectory (with some very notable exceptions), most homeowners expect their homes value to increase significantly over the life of their mortgage.(This, by the way, is why your dad is obsessed with property values and gets so upset at the neighbor with the permanent pile of yard tires. Buyers are less likely to want to pay top dollar for a house next door to the Springfield Tire Yard.)A simple definitionHome equity is the difference between how much your property is worth and how much you owe on your mortgage. It is the portion of your home that you own free and clear.For example, if your house is worth $350,000 and you owe $300,000 on your mortgage, your home equity is $50,000, or approximately 14.3% equity. ($50,000 $350,000 = 0.14285).Generally, you are not considered to have equity in your home until you reach 20% equity. This is why 20% is the traditional down payment amount. Making a 20% down payment means you immediately have home equity.How to build equityThere are two ways to build home equity, and most people will do both at the same time:Mortgage payments: Each monthly mortgage payment includes a portion that goes toward paying off your principal. Every month, you build a little more equity in your house. You can build equity more quickly by sending additional principal payments when you can.Property appreciation: For most homebuyers, the property value will increase over time, meaning you have more equity simply by staying in your home for several years. While market downturns or other issues could lower your property value, you will typically benefit from appreciation over time.Why home equity mattersIf youre wondering why your uncle is always nattering about how youre not building any equity by renting, theres more to home equity than just owning more than you owe. Home equity offers real and tangible benefits to homeowners. Specifically, building up equity in your house does the following:Increases your net worth: A higher net worth offers more financial flexibility because its easier to borrow money at competitive interest rates.Nets you higher proceeds when you sell your home: If you sell your home before paying off your mortgage, your equity is the amount of money you can cash out of the sale.Opens up inexpensive loan options: If you have equity in your home, you can qualify for a home equity loan or home equity line of credit. These loan options are secured by your home and allow you to access your equity with favorable rates and terms. Home equity loans and lines of credit are among the cheapest borrowing options available.Allows you to access cash with a refinancing loan: A cash-out refinance lets you replace your existing mortgage with a larger loan and take the difference in cash. This is only possible if you have built equity in your home.The fine printHome equity means your humble abode can also be a potential source of money if you need it. But thinking of equity as a personal piggy bank can lead to trouble.Thats because accessing your equity is basically the same as turning your assets back into debt, which reduces your net worth. Part of the way lenders try to protect homeowners is by limiting the amount of equity you are allowed to access via home equity loans or cash-out refinancing. You will generally have to keep at least 15% to 20% equity in your residence.The other caveat about equity is that property values do not always go up. If the housing market takes a header, its possible to quickly lose equity in your home. Other than waiting for the market to recover, there is no other way to recoup lost equity after an event like that.America dreams of equityA cute suburban house with a white-picket fence wasnt just a place for our grandparents to wear pearls while vacuuming. It also allowed them to build wealth through the power of home equity.To calculate your equity, subtract your remaining mortgage balance from the current value of your house. Divide the number you come up with by the mortgage balance to get your equity, which represents the percentage of the home you own. Lenders generally dont consider you to have equity until you reach 20% equity.Equity in your home gives you more options for borrowing, but tapping the equity in your home trades your assets for debt. Also, even though home values traditionally go up, theres no guarantee that they always will. So tread carefully if you decide to access your home equity.Even if home ownership is not yet on your radar, understanding home equity can help you make better decisions about your current finances.

Less than 24 hours after the app went dark, TikTok says President-elect Donald Trump has given it the reassurance it needs to resume service in the US.

China-based social media site TikTok has returned from a one-day hiatus in the US, following assurances from the incoming Trump administration that it will face no penalties for restoring service to its US users now.The ban on TikTok in the US turned out to last only one day.Apple and other companies temporarily took the TikTok app off their respective App Store, which complied with a law passed by Congress banning the service in the US if the parent company failed to find a US buyer by January 19th.The short-lived ban affected numerous TikTok-related apps and services, including TikTok Studio, TikTok Shop Seller Center, CapCut, Lemon8, Hypic, Lark collaboration software, the AI study companion Gauth, and the game Marvel Snap.

Whether you liked Nintendos reveal of the Switch 2 or found it wanting, theres no denying the buzz generated. In a little over three days, the debut trailer has 18,872,218 views at this time of writing, narrowly beating out the PS5s hardware reveal in the same window.The latter currently has over 44 million views since premiering on June 12th, 2020. Whether the Nintendo Switch 2 trailer can beat that in a shorter period, its already doing similar numbers on Twitter. Nintendo of Americas tweet garnered nearly 41 million views. Nintendo of Japans tweet of the same has 52.7 million views.The Nintendo Switch 2 is out later this year, with rumors indicating a launch sometime in June and analysts predicting a potential $400 price. Nintendo will reveal more on April 2nd during its upcoming Direct, though its seemingly confirmed that a new Mario Kart is in development for the platform. It also announced the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience, where various cities worldwide can go hands-on with the console.
