Jayden Kahn - Week 8; OG Fortnite Returns

 Fortnite's new 'OG' season is a trip through the game's history - The Verge

    Yes, you saw that right. The moment everyone has waited for. The original Fortnite map is back! 

    Around 2018, Fortnite was all anyone talked about. It was the most popular game by far and took the world by storm. Every day kids would come home from school and play with their friends. However, the game started to lose interest around the 8th season and it stayed this way for about half a year. Then Covid hit and people turned their heads back to Fortnite. Fortnite was not only a super fun way to waste time, but it had turned into a way to hang out with friends without really being able to see their faces in person. People called this Fortnite's second prime. Fortnite not only had an all-new map but there were huge new features - such as bosses, new guns, a new rarity, etc - and numerous live events that kept players engaged. However, similar to before, this "second prime" began to fade. Fortnite went a little too far, making the game worse and worse, altering the map, adding anime and more and more of the fanbase left the game.

    As the years passed, people continued to reminisce about old Fortnite, but also about the memories that came with it (even if they did not realize it). People constantly said they missed the old map and some even used their public platforms to ask for change. However, Fortnite decided to bring back the original map in a new season called "Fortnite OG" in which each season lasts a week - as opposed to the 2-3 month seasons - for 4 weeks. Just days before Fortnite brought back the original map, only 200,000 players were playing their infamous game mode "Battle Royale". On the day of the update, it saw an all-time high with nearly 6 million concurrent players all playing at once. All those cherished moments from our childhoods were brought back and old squads came back together to play together again. Epic Games finally answered all of our prayers and it paid off for them. 

    Have you played Fortnite OG yet? What are your thoughts?

    I did play the new Fortnite OG, and it was awesome! It definitely brought back some nostalgic feelings. I do think it was kind of over hyped though.

Anna Shimonovitc: Week 9 - Northern Attitude by Noah Kahan (with Hozier)

Image
    I haven't actually listened to a lot of Noah Kahan songs, but I have listened to a lot of Hozier songs. I want to specifically discuss Hozier's new song, Northern Attitude, in heavy detail. It's not actually Hozier's song, but he is featured in it. It's a song by Noah Kahan, who you might know from his recently popular song, Stick Season. I don't know what other songs he sings, but oh my god. This new song. It's so amazing and if anyone argues with me they're wrong. The reason I'm even listening to it is because the Andrew Hozier-Byrne sings in it. And when I say listening I mean that I am in a perpetual state of listening to this song, always playing, even if it's just stuck in my head on a loop. The song is just such a good vibe. Like I have no other way to describe it because I'm not going to spend my time actually interpreting the lyrics as if I have nothing else to do besides wonder what some dudes were thinking when they were writi...

Josh Matheson - Week 9; First AP Lang Essay

Image
Last week, we had our first in class timed essay and let's just say it did not go according to plan.  Going into the first essay, I was focused on completing the essay within the 40 minutes and have a great thesis, that can be backed up with enough evidence.  The essay was both a success and a fail, as I finished in time which was one of my concerns, but I did not get specific enough and tie enough evidence back to my thesis.  I realized that even though I had the evidence the most important thing to explain is why the speaker uses that choice.  This generally is what destroyed me because I had the evidence, but did not get specific enough and just left everything vague.  Fortunately,  I am confident that next time will be better,  since this is my first AP essay and the best way to improve is through practice and experiences.  On this essay, I received a 2.5, which is not too good of a score, but at least I will have the revision in order to fix ...

Mia Garaz, Week 9, Nothing To Watch!

Image
With the various amounts of streaming services, such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Max, and more, you would think the possibilities of films to watch are endless! However, lately, this has not been the case. I find myself scrolling for hours, and still, nothing catches my eye. Possibly, this is due to the algorithm. It may not be calculating as well as it should. Though, I don’t feel this is the case. I think there is a major lack of TV series and movies to view across all platforms. Even when they do come out with new releases, they tend to lack substance or an interesting plot. What I have noticed a lot is that the creators and directors are trying to create “relatable” content. Still, it just ends up being cringey (and in my opinion, overly politically correct). With such curated/censored content it destroys the reality and relatability that they were trying to achieve. The sadness of it all is, unfortunately, that it is extremely difficult for a “classic” to be made in this day and ag...
