Overwatch's Pink Mercy: Playing For a Cause
Blizzard Entertainment

This week, Blizzard Entertainment released a brand new skin for Mercy, one of the heroes you can play as in the popular FPS MOBA "Overwatch". In an effort to promote awareness for Breast Cancer Research, they are offering Pink Mercy, pictured above, for $15. This is a steep price for an Overwatch cosmetic, however every dollar that they raise from each purchase goes directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, with a minimum donation of $250,000.

But say you are just looking for a dope skin, so you can carry games in style as an elegant Magical Girl, this is the skin for you. It features a new design for the character and a handful of brand new sound effects that you simply cannot get on other Mercy skins. Beyond the skin and its unique effects, players can simply log into Overwatch between now and May 21 to receive a Breast Cancer Research Foundation exclusive player icon.

Almost everyone has a story about a family member or friend who has been affected by some form of cancer. It is a plague that touches many people, but it is one that we can combat. I urge you, if you have the funds, consider purchasing this awesome cosmetic. If you are in a bit of a financial pinch like me, and may not be able to afford this new skin, please consider sharing this information with your friends who also play Overwatch. The more people that hear about this, the more we can raise donations and awareness.

In the words of Mercy: HEROES NEVER DIE!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
