Who Said You Need Money To Have Fun?: GAMING EDITION

Fortnite is my favorite game that's also free and super addicting.

Three words: Fortnite Battle Royale.

It is available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Made by Epic Games. It is legitimately addicting, but not only that: fun.

Basically, it is a 100-person free for all; last man standing wins. You jump out of a hot air balloon onto the map and you have to find and scavenge weapons and materials to survive. For a free game, this is like gold.

It's not as competitive as other battle royale games and there's a creative aspect with the building. What makes this different from other battle royale games is the fact that it is on a wide variety of platforms and that it has a building aspect. One of the best things about it is that it is not pay-to-win, which means that you cannot pay real money for any items that give you an edge over other players.

This makes it extremely fair, which is a good thing so that talent and luck will get you to the end. They sell cosmetic items such as costumes and parachutes, but there is no amount of money that can get you a win. You have to play hard and earn it.

Even after the first 20 are killed and 80 are left, you've made it. Obviously, the odds aren't in your favor to win, but it's obviously addicting to be able to persevere and win. As you level up, there are different types of gliders/pickaxes that you can obtain. It changes it up quite a bit. Make sure you have your volume up since you always want to be listening to those around you to see if any enemies are near.

I am completely obsessed.

Especially since this past week they offered the 50 vs 50 mode which is terrible because of finals but absolutely addicting since the types of forts that are being built are insane! The mode is absolutely awesome but unfortunately won't be here forever. But insanely fun!

It's all online although you can only chat with the people in your squad, which does complicate this mode since you can't communicate your plan and just eventually develop it. You can literally pick it up online today for free and get in on the action. They just released a holiday update that added a lot of in-game holiday themed items.

It is such a steal as a free game, but it also is really easy to learn and it is a mixture of luck to win as well, since you might not always find the best weapons, but as people die, you are able to pick up their best weapons that they had. Unfortunately it's only a 4-people squad max.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
