Byleth

Byleth is the newest character in SSBU(Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) in which he is the 5th and final character for fighter pass 1. The fighter is from the newest Fire Emblem game Fire Emblem Three Houses this is the main character from that game. The inclusion of the character has not been well received as Byleth has became the most hated smash character with the reveal trailer getting over 81 thousand dislikes. This inclusion of the character has gotten a lot of hate in which players were expecting either Dante(from Devil May Cry) or Sora ( from Kingdom Hearts) which would have had more positive reactions because no one wanted this character and it is another Fire Emblem Character. There have been 7 Fire Emblem characters not including Byleth in which there are all clones of one another (Except for Robin, Corrin, and Ike). This isn’t the first time a DLC character is a fire emblem character and it isn’t the first time the community has been disappointing at the addition of another fire emblem character. Even though this character wasn’t well received I am excited because of the move set not the character.

R.I.P Air Power

Air Power is the wireless charging pad that was developed by apple it was supposed to be released two years ago with the Iphone X and the new Apple watch. The mat was developed with the intention of being solved for $149!

It’s a charging mat, sure a bigger one, but not worth $149. People were going to buy it because it’s apple. The air power was supposedly to have 30 to 40 coils in it.

Most coils use 1 to 2 coils to charge the phone, which usually has 1 coil in it. 30 to 40 is way too much heat for practicality and for safety. Did I mention that the reason the air power was canceled was because of thermal issues? The air power was supposed to be super thin with 30 to 40 coils was insane. I’m glad that apple decided not to release this like a certain other company (cough cough Samsung). When apple tested this it would always overheat leading it to be delayed. Which ended in the project being canceled entirely by apple.

Anthem

 

Anthem is a looter shooter type game developed by Bioware which is on Xbox PC and PS4, the same people who made Destiny 1 &2. The game has you take control of a nameless character (or freelancer according to the game) who pilots a suit of armor called a Javelin and completes these things called contracts (or missions/quests for every other game). There are four types of Javelins right now: Colossus, Interceptor, Ranger, and Storm. These Javelins have different abilities.

The first Javelin in the picture is The Storm class  which is like a mage because it can summon weather abilities that can hurt enemies. The next one the Ranger class is the basic class you get at the start of the game, and it has some basic abilities. The biggest one is the Colossus which is just what it sounds a big tank that walks slower but has powerful weapons and a lot of  health. The last one to the right  is the Interceptor class. This class is the melee class in the primary focus of its ranged of weapons is close range to RIGHT UP IN THE ENEMIES FACE . Most reviewers don’t like the game ,but I say play it because you might enjoy it.

Two Months Later

The driftboard is a one-man vehicle that has a boost effect (like the Quad-Crasher)and you can jump with the board making it easier to gain air. The board is great for mobility (even in squads since the plane got vaulted).

Fortnite in December teased a new drift board. A couple hours before launch the item was removed from the in game files, and nobody knew what happened to it for two months.

Then just this week the board was released along with other changes.  The board spawns where the Quad Crashers spawn at the RV and Station wagon stops in drops of 4( for now).

Avengers Endgame

The new Avengers trailer has came out. This takes place further in time after “the snap” where Thanos wiped out 50% of all life including earth and some of your favorite characters, such as Loki, Heimdall, Vision, Black Panther, Spider-Man, Winter Solider, Falcon,  and  The Guardians of the Galaxy. This movie takes place about two years into the future where Iron-Man (Tony Stark) is trying to head back to Earth. The other Avengers are at Earth trying to figure out how to stop Thanos (How are they going to stop him? I don’t know because he has all 6 infinity stones). That’s all we know so far about Avengers 4.

Its finally finished!!! pt.1( Bendy and The Ink Machine)

 

Image result for ink machine

Bendy and the Ink Machine “Chapter 5”  was just released and instead

of writing about that (because somebody took it) I will talk about the whole game and summarize the story:

 

 

Chapter 1 Moving Pictures

You get a letter from you old friend/coworker to see what he has made. Your name is Henry Stein the person who sent you the letter is named Joey Drew. Instantly you get this creepy, but cartoony feel. There is nobody there, but there are little films playing and you eventually find the ink machine

You go into another room, and you have to find a special items. You have to put them on the podiums to activate the ink machine. You walk back to enter the room, and you see that its boarded up and full of ink. Then  THE INK DEMON jumps out and  gives you the biggest jumpscare. You run to the exit and just before you reach the door the floor collapses…

Chapter 2 The Old Song

You wake up from that 100 foot drop somehow. You see pentagrams on the floor and coffins leaning on walls. Now you try to find a way out of the hole you fell into. You pick up an ax and chop the wood blocking the door and walk down the steps. In this chapter your first enemies are introduced: the searchers. The searchers are the inky monster that come out of ink puddles. When you walk down one of the hallways, you see this inky figure that’s not bendy because bendy doesn’t wear overalls and is not a searcher because searchers don’t have clothes,but someone else. When you walk down a hallway, you get hit over the head and get knocked out. When you awaken, this person covered in ink stands before  you. He has a bendy mask and wears overalls. (It was the figure you saw before.) His name is Sammy Lawrence and remember the pentagrams? That was him too.

He is trying to sacrifice you to Bendy THE INK DEMON.  He chants this text to attract the demon. When the door opens up, instead of the demon charging at you, the passageway is empty. You here Sammy’s voice over the intercom being attacked by Bendy. The latches open, and you grab the nearest weapons. Then you fight off the Searchers. After the battle you run until you reach an spit in the passage and then right in front of you Bendy comes out ( makes you jump out of your chair) and then you RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! You turn one corner and Boris meets you there. The screen fades and the chapter ends… or does it?
