SUICIDE SQUAD KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE
DC Fandom was an absolute success that has sent the fandom into excitement with all the news, reveals, footage, and announcements. In an event, so much stuff got unveiled about the two DC video games, both the most-awaited and highly anticipated, one of which being "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League." All fans got trailer and teaser information from Rocksteady. Still, it is certainly enough for fans to handle onto and hold a high level of expectation until its release. DC fans do not have to wait so long for the next video game as one is set to release in 2021, but there is still a bit longer wait for Suicide Squad.

ANIMATORS FOREVER
Video games are an addiction to young teens and adults. The number of games and gaming companies has increased tremendously over the years. Backed by the current Covid-19 pandemic, E-sports and E-gaming witnessed a boom like never before. Game sales and the number of players turning towards professional gaming are outstanding. The entire industry made over $40 billion in revenue in 2018 according to Forbes Online. In 2020, the entire gaming industry is estimated at over 90 billion. Video gaming has become an industry worth millions in a matter of time. Video games are becoming more advanced, challenging and competitive. Since 2016, over 2.5 billion people have bought and played video games.

Predicting the Suicide Squad video game roster
I am someone that enjoys a large variety of video games, despite the fact that I am clearly a huge fan of Nintendo games in particular. But some of my favorite games are the Batman Arkham games from Rocksteady Studios. I remember going through and 100 percenting Arkham Asylum multiple times. I also remember the emotional gut punch at the end of Arkham City where (spoilers for a nine year old game) Batman says that despite everything he had done, he would have saved Joker and him carrying Joker’s dead body out of Arkham City. Now why am I mentioning these games from years ago? Well on August 7, a twitter account was created for a new Rocksteady Studio game, a Suicide Squad game. Recently, the Suicide Squad has gained a major rise in popularity, mostly in part to a movie that came out in 2016, which was met with mixed reviews, but was a box office success. We are getting a sequel that is planned for 2021, being directed by James Gunn with Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman and Jai Courtney reprising their roles of Harley Quinn, Corporal Rick Flagg and Captain Boomerang respectively. The sequel also adds names like David Dastmalchain, Idris Elba, John Cena, Nathan Fillian, Pete Davidson, Michael Rooker, Taika Waititi and many others in undisclosed roles. And now the super villain bunch is getting their own video game.

Mr. Love Queen's Choice Review
From all outward appearances, it's very easy to swipe past Mr. Love: Queen's Choice in the app store and brush it off as just a fluffy, low-effort dating simulator--not too different from any other. And honestly, I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that, because that's exactly how it's marketed in the app store.

Favourite Hoenn Pokemon
I always considered Hoenn one of my favourite regions other than Johto. Migrating from GameBoy to GameBoy Advanced, it felt like pokemon itself was advancing. The new pokemon series was called Pokemon Advance. Pokemon and advance seemed to be really connected at the time. The only thing that I didn't like was the lack of backwards compatibility. There's no way to transfer pokemon from GameBoy to GameBoy advance, so it was a fresh start.

Dungeons and Dragons and Dice Rolls: Wait, you use how many dice?
Nobody wants to do math for fun. Well, maybe some people do. I am not one of those people and the prospect of getting my head around what feels like an infinitely complex system of numbers makes me break out into a nervous sweat. Seriously. But the great thing about D&D is that even though the dice rolls look complicated, once you get your head around the basic system, it's actually really simple. Plus there are dozens of apps and handy sites out there you can use that make it easier (i.e. work out the complicated maths) for you.

A brief backstory on my introduction into Brawlhalla.
As a beginner, I wasn't informed of the objectives. I had watched Youtube countless times to gain tips, but some of them weren't very beneficial. To say the least, I was very close to giving up Brawlhalla all in the same week I started the game up. When I was first granted access to a new Macbook Air, I immediately brainstormed, but that was after my shock. "What should I do? Where do I start? Why is there an ad asking me to complete my profile when I haven't even started one?" Truth is, the set-up was profoundly complex, but it didn't repel my intentions of utilizing my laptop. In fact, I was so curious, I consistently asked Siri what 1+1 as to verify that it worked. (That part is for comedical purposes, back with the story!) To think, I had it all. I was manipulating a machine that worked for the sole purpose of amusing me, etc. That sounds bad in so many ways, but don't tell Moby! ( Moby is Tim's companion from Brainpop). Anywho, when I was scrolling through the web like a typical teenager, something peculiar popped up in search engine. Steam? In a computer? How the hell does that work? I clicked on the link only to encounter hundreds of titles all in one place! Astonished by this work of art, I made my way towards the free games. (Being broke doesn't detain my capabilities, mind you.) I scrolled through, and found nothing but lame titles, until.... "Brawlhalla? What kind of Super Smash sh#t is this?" My mouse hovered over it, which brought my attention towards the videos. I spent a good 10 minutes just watching stickers fly across maps. It was totally worth it. The time required to download Brawlhalla was respectable, and I started my quest onto figuring out the controls, the objective, and so on and so forth. I know I'm going to gain so much hate for this, but I have previously used a controller on PC, and I am quite ashamed of myself. ("Boo", said the reader to themself.) To be fair, I wasn't much of a keyboard player until I was educated on typing skills thanks to my Computers teacher over at my HS. (She's so wonderful, I don't know how I would've typed this long paragraph without her.) Familiarizing myself with the keyboard controls was a hardship, but I chose to undertake it with zero doubts. My first-ever character that I rushed into battle was Lucien, a revolutionary... I don't know the labels, my history knowledge is rusty! I'd be happy to discuss WWII, though. Lucien's weapons consist of katars, and blasters. They were very powerful when it came to charged attacks. Other than that, they were pretty decent. My 2nd legend was Ada, if I remember correctly. (You can view the lore in Brawlhalla if you wish to see a more detailed explanation of a character.) Blah, blah, blah, some bald dude with a stick and gauntlets and yellow-luminiscent powers, then finally: The Shadow Keeper, Jiro, a soon to be shogun. With his shadows assisting him in time of battle, and his lust for taking shadows from oppponents, he really is someone you'd like to side with. But enough chit-chat for now. I hope I didn't bore you with a profusely long paragraph about my interesting experiences. Until then, fellow travellers. I bid you all a great journey in the land of mutual learning. Safe travels. :)

Cosplay Conventions Should Be All About Fun and Games.
As a long time cosplayer, I have found it extremely aggravating when people want to cause trouble and drama at conventions. I have seen way too much of it and quite frankly, I am sick of it. My friends and I are in the agreement that these conventions should be our escape from reality.
