Destiny 2 Season 13

 Destiny 2's next season releases in a week and players are anxious to learn  what it will be about.  This comes amid complaints of nerfs to guns in the game and little responsibility by bungie on completing what the community wants.  Many theories are floating around but my favorite (and my own) is that it will be cabal themes and center around Caital based on the new Trials of Osiris gear pictured below.

Free Solo

  Recently I've gotten really into National Geographic Documentaries and one caught my eye. Free solo is about a rock climber named Alex Honnald and his journey training to climb a wall called El Capitan, but without a rope. So basically if he falls and he dies and its super interesting that he is so unphased by death. I recommend everyone to watch this, not only is it super interesting, but it is shot beautifully. 

Lemon

  Lemon head, best filter on Snapchat, no cap. This filter makes everything 10x funnier than it should be and I highly recommend trying it out with your friends.

Pokemon Sword and Shield Bans

      Recently in Pokemon Sword and Shield, GameFreak has been banning players with illegal shiny Pokemon. GameFreak is really cracking down on people who have hacked the game itself or people who stream illegal pokemon giveaways. As well as, people who sell hacked shiny pokemon to people on the internet. What GameFreak has done with these people is ban their Nintendo Switch consoles from online with pokemon Sword and Shield games, as well as Pokemon Home. If you have any illegal shiny pokemon, you may want to get rid of them immediately. 

COIN- Self Titled Album

  The band COIN released their self named album in 2015. There really isn't a great way to describe their music, it is essentially electronic pop, but it has its own very unique style. I have been following COIN since 2016 and have gradually become a really big fan. I actually drew this album cover as a framable item for my brother this Christmas because he is also a big fan. With songs like "Lately", "It's A Trap", "and "Atlas" this album and its cover art have grown to be my favorite of their albums. 

WandaVision

 If you haven't heard, the first Marvel Studios Disney+ show has been released. It's called WandaVision and seems like a wonderful superhero themed tribute to the sitcoms of the past, but things aren't what they seem. It a Truman Show style dark things show this isn't the cheery sitcom it portrays itself as. I would highly recommend it based on the special effects alone. They do really cool effects where black and white transitions to color, color objects are in frame when it's black and white, and they have specialized intros based on the decade the show is in. One of my favorite choices is when characters are discovering something suspicious, they change the cameras angle from typical sitcoms ones to different close-ups and wide shots that sitcoms can't\won't do. I highly recommend it. It will confuse you and intrigue you. Also if you want to see incredible shifts in acting styles, I highly recommend it. 

The Zelda Metroid Randomizer

For those who don't know, Nintendo's 90's console the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (snes) has an incredible variety of near timeless games that are widely considered to be the "golden age" of videogames. Megaman X, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World and Super Mario RPG, and especially the 2 games we're discussing today, Super Metroid and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. These two games have huge communities that still play the games today, almost 30 years later. Super Metroid has one of the largest speedrunning communities, and alongside Metroid, A Link to the Past is considered one of the greatest games ever.  Despite how good these games are, some people want a little more variety when they play the games. Both games have had randomizers created for them, where a seed is created for the game that swaps the items in the game around entirely, meaning that progression is very different and in some ways WAY harder. If you think one randomizer sound...

Attack On Titan

 If you ever wanted to watch anime, I would suggest this one. The animation is amazing, it moves so fast, and it is very smooth. It is still developing, and the story is still going on. If you want something to watch, I would definitely check it out.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - How to hook the viewers

  Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a 64-episode anime that began airing in 2008. It was the first anime I watched all the way through. I had tried to watch anime in the past but couldn't get past the first couple episodes of any shows. I just assumed I wouldn't find anything I enjoyed until I found this show on Netflix. I went into the show totally blind, not knowing anything about the story, characters, or world. Within the first couple of episodes, I was hooked. Brotherhood does an excellent job of establishing the two protagonists, their goals, connections, beliefs, and why the viewers should care. I wish to avoid going too in-depth, despite the fact the show is over ten years old, but I implore anyone's who interested to watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood even if you are not a fan of anime.
