What's Your Opinion on the Black Panther Movie?

I have been really busy creating content for twitch TV and YouTube, so I haven't had the opportunity to see the new Black Panther movie.  I saw on the news this morning that the movie has been #1 at the box office for 4 weeks in a row and has gross over $1 Billion dollars.  The statistics support that Black Panther is a good movie, but what is your opinion about it?

I got friends and family that seen the movie, and they say it's okay.  I read reviews on the internet that said it was game changing like Wonder Woman, but I honestly thought Wonder Woman sucked.  I wasn't feeling the world war stuff, and it really didn't match the themes I was familiar from the tv series or comic books.

The Division - New Global Event In March 2018 - Live Streaming at Twitch.tv/jetrecords

Massive Entertainment has announced the for the entire month of March 2018, it will do Global Events for Tom Clancy's The Division.  The first Global Event starts on March 1, 2018 and it is called Outbreak Part 1.  The coolest fact about global events is this is your only opportunity to get more exotic loot and gear for free.  The best weapons and equipment await those that play the game well and accept the challenge.  I'm live streaming at 3 PM on March 1, 2018.  Below is the timeline for other Global Events happening in March:

The first event should be Outbreak, starting tomorrow - 01 March 2018 and will be concluding on 05 March 2018. The Assault event should be running from 08 to 12 March 2018, while Strike is scheduled for 15 to 19 March 2018 and Ambush kicks-off on 22 March and concludes on 26 March 2018.
In case you have missed out on masks from one of the previous events like I did, this will be your chance to grab them. You will also be able to complete your classified sets, with your best chances being whenever the corresponding Global Event occurs.

Ubisoft

For example the Assault global event will reward Striker, Sentry's Call and Reclaimer classified sets. While this event's masks aren't highly sought after, its classified gear certainly is.

The Strike global event will award Banshee, Predator, FNC and Nomad sets, with Ambush yielding Alpha Bridge, Hunter's Faith, Firecrest and Tactician's Authority sets.

Details for each Global Event and its drops can be found on The Division's website. 

Biggest Minecraft Update Ever - 1.13 Update New Mob Boss

In the 8 year history of the game MineCraft, there has never been an update this big!  This update is called the aquatic update b/c so much of the update revolves around the player's interaction with the sea.  In the new update, there is a hostile mob that dwells underwater that hunts sea turtles, and you will need new abilities to take it on and protect the aquatic world.  Reaching the Aquatic Mob Boss is the whole point of the update, and the most powerful weapon in the game, the Enchanted Trident will be your goal to obtain and tool to use for victory.

Here's what you want to know, the new features of the game:

You can swim! You can dive into the water and start to swim with the fish and sea life. There are sea turtles, Puffer fish and more aquatic life find and discover.  In the update, sea turtles will swim to the shore, and you can see fish swimming in the water.

You can catch fish in a bucket filled with water first, and you can keep it as a pet or eat it.  It makes it easier to catch fish other than using a rod, and you can also create your own zen pool to collect exotic fish and have them swim around. 

Also there are new coupling features. Sea turtles will mate and lay eggs.  There is a new breeding mechanism when sea turtles are fed sea grass then mate.  After mating, the sea turtle digs in the ground and lays eggs.  The sea turtle will incubate and ground the egg nest.

Here are the other updates along with the codes/commands for you programmers:

• Structures will load from (world)/generated/structures/(namespace)/(file).nbt before checking data packs.
  • However, this directory should not be used to distribute structures. Instead, move these files into data packs.
• Reloadable using /reload.
• Structure: pack.mcmeta, data folder containing a namespace folder determining the namespace of its contents
  • A namespace should only contain the following symbols: 01​​234​5​6​78​9abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_

The Division - 3 Tips to How To Level Up to 25 in 6 hours

I must admit for $15 The Division is a great game.  I'm late to the movement for this game, but I came at the perfect moment.  From what my co-op partners tell me, the new DLC just hit and new content is available for the first time for everyone. That being said, it's a new game for everyone 2 years after it's release.  I'll get straight to the point and not tease you.  Here is how you can level up to 25 in 6 hours.

1.  Make friends with a high level player - I want to stress this more than anything. You can level up fast by co-op with higher level players b/c the experience you get from complete missions on their level will jump your level up anywhere from 1 to 5 levels.  I rolled with someone level 30 when I was level 5.  In 2 hours, I was level 18. 

2.  Optimize your gear - I really didn't pay attention to this, and that was the reason I died quick.  Try to get your toughness and DPS at least to 10,000 and have all your armor gear at least at 75.  Watch what mods you get b/c some will give you resistance and bonus that will give you a real advantage.

3. Don't go into the Dark Zone alone - I don't care if you're 1 or 30, you'll never defeat the dark zone alone.  I had people betray me in the dark zone and steal my loot, so be careful who you partner with as well.  Folks are sick and sadistic in the DZ.  The DZ is worth it, b/c you can get rare gear in there that will give you an advantage early on.

I hear a lot of  hard core video gamers brag about spending real money/cash to get rare cache's and unlock features in the game.  I don't see the point when you can get to the same levels with a little extra effort or intelligence. Remember, it's expensive to be dumb.  Don't spend cash to get an advantage with the Division when you can exploit the game mechanics.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Release Date and All You Need to Know

I was on a forum discussing remakes of old games and highly anticipated games coming out.  I was shocked to acknowledge that it has been almost 10 years since Kingdom Hearts 3 was suppose to be released.  Along with the remake of Final Fantasy 7, Square Enix really have been slow  with the development of its best sellers.  I did my research on Kingdom Hearts 3 to find all the information about what to expect as well as a release date time frame for you all. 

What is Kingdom Hearts 3?

Kingdom Hearts 3 is the third numbered entry in the crossover series, blending the worlds and characters of Disney, Final Fantasy and other renown properties into an utterly surreal action-adventure. You will once again play as Sora alongside his best friends Donald and Goofy as they travel across various worlds interacting with beloved characters in epic battles and cute, personal stories.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Story – What’s it about?

Kingdom Hearts 3 takes place after the events of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, with King Mickey and Riku hunting after the remaining Keyblade wielders. Sora, Donald and Goofy, on the other hand, are busy in pursuit of the Seven Guardians of Light across a myriad different worlds. All of this is being done in a passionate attempt to stop Master Xehanort’s evil plan first alluded to in previous games.

Game director Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that Kingdom Hearts 3 will begin immediately after the ending of Dream Drop Distance, acting as the penultimate chapter in the Dark Seeker Saga. We’d be here all day if we tried to decipher the entire Kingdom Hearts timeline. There have been so many spinoffs, sequels and side projects at this point it can be difficult to determine where exactly Kingdom Hearts 3 lies in the bigger picture.


Kingdom Hearts 3 Worlds – What’s been confirmed?

Kingdom Hearts 3 will introduce a number of original locations alongside a slew of Disney-themed locales. Tangled and Big Hero 6 are two of the properties confirmed thus far, with favourites based on Hercules already scheduled to return in the sequel. Since the release of Kingdom Hearts 2, Disney has acquired Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar. Unfortunately, many of these won’t appear in KH3 due to existing licensing deals, such as the agreement concerning Electronic Arts and Star Wars.

To make things easier, we’ve compiled a list of confirmed worlds below:

• Kingdom of Corona (Tangled)
• Big Hero 6
• Mount Olympus
• Twilight Town
• Mysterious Tower
• Toy Story

The Purpose of Titans and All 9 Shifter Titans Revealed - Attack on Titan

Purpose and History Titans

Over 1,800 years ago, Ymir Fritz discovered the "source of all organic material", or made a deal with the Devil, and gained the power of the Titans. The Eldia Restorationists believed that she used the Titans to build bridges, roads, and cultivate barren lands.  After she died 13 years later, her "soul" was split and passed down unto nine inheritors.

All Titans are originally humans of a race of people called the Subjects of Ymir.  Ymir was the first Titan, gaining the power of the Titans after locating the "source of all living matter", although Marley claims she made a contract with the Devil.

Subjects of Ymir being injected with Titan spinal fluid.  Subjects of Ymir become Titans after being injected with Titan spinal fluid, triggering a near-instantaneous transformation.  This is exploited by Marley after the Great Titan War, who turn undesirable Subjects of Ymir into Titans to use for war, or at Paradis Island to roam aimlessly beyond the Walls.  Titans oftentimes bear strong resemblance to their original human bodies, though women who are turned into Titans lose most feminine body features.

9 Shifter Titans

The 9 Shifter Titans are fragments of Ymir Fritz's soul.  Humans who inherit them have the power of the Titans, which enables them to transform into their inherited Titan at will, gaining its special abilities while retaining their human body and intelligence. A human with the power of the Titans has access to advanced Titan abilities, such as focusing regeneration to specific parts of the body to increase the healing rate. The are 9 Notable Titans of this type and their power holders:

1. Attack Titan:

- Eren Kruger

- Grisha Yeager

- Eren Kruger

2. Colossus Titan:

- Bertolt Hoover

- Armin Arlert

3. Armored Titan:

4. Female Titan:

5. Jaw Titan

- Marcel Galliard

- Ymir

- Porco Galliard

6. Beast Titan

- Zeke Yeager

7. Founding Titan

9. War Hammer Titan

ATTACK ON TITAN SEASON 3 will Air JULY 2018!!

Answer to Why Titans Eat Humans Revealed - Attack on Titan

When I first watched Attack on Titan, my first impression was this show is very traumatizing and mysterious.  For a whole season, we were left with the impression that humans were shut in a walled off fortress in order to hide from giant Titans that only exist to eat humans.  As I watched the Anime and read the Manga, I started to piece together the reason why Titans only eat humans.

I watched the show paranoid that there was no way to stop these monsters that can be over 120 meters tall (393 feet).  Over time, humans captured Titans and research unlock the mystery behind Titans.  One fact that scientist discovered about Titans was Titans not needing to eat in order to live.  Titans use sunlight to live or for energy.  Also, Titans do not have a digestive tract.  When Titans eat humans, human body parts stay inside the Titan.  That explains how Eren was eaten alive by the Titan and survives on episode three.  After an encounter with Ymir, we learned more about why Titans eat humans from her experience as a Titan.

Ymir is the Jaw Titan.  We learned that Ymir was homeless Eldian girl that lived the streets of Marley.  For some reason, Ymir was made leader of a cult.  The authorities found the cult and punished the cult by injecting them with potion that turned them in mindless Titans that roam the outside the Maria Wall for 60 years.  One day, Ymir rose from the ground to attack a group of children humans.  Little did she know, one of the kids Ymir was the Jaw Titan, Marcel Gilliard.  By devouring Marcel. Ymir gained his powers and regained her humanity.

Hange Zoe speculates that this may be one reason Titans instinctively seek to devour humans and transformed intelligent Titans.  Later in the manga, we see Ymir transfer her Titan powers by "letting" Porco Gilliard eat her.  This confirms that Titans eat humans for the purpose of gaining the shifter power and return to being human. 

Review for DragonBall FighterZ

I am always pumped to play a new Dragon Ball video game.  I must admit, I struggled to play the two Dragon Ball Xenoverse games b/c the controls were difficult and unresponsive.  This time around, DragonBall FighterZ has made game play simple and easy to manage.

DragonBall FighterZ plays much like Capcom vs Marvel.  Basically it is a 3 vs 3 tag team fight geared towards online play.  There is a story mode that will take 8 hours give or take to defeat that allows you to level up your character and gain perk bonuses.

The story line of DragonBall FighterZ centers around a female antagonist known as Android 21 that is leader of the Red Ribbon Army.  Android 21 has stolen all of the Z fighters powers, and she has created clones to take over the world.  The only down side to the story mode is that it seems to end around the time Goku and Vegeta started training with Beerus to go SSJ Blue.

Who knows where the story will evolve with DLC's that are already rumored to be released.  I know Goku Black and Hit are suppose to come to the game some how.  When I play the game, I feel like something is missing.  I feel like the game is not fully developed.

Overall, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a change of pace for the series and capitalizing on the online gaming trend.  It's a solid fighting game that will present a challenge to button mashers like myself.  I won't be bias and say I wanted more single player.  This game is really designed for online game play.  I say with more characters Dragon Ball FighterZ should achieve its goals.  Right now, the game isn't fully developed.  I have to give it 7 out 10.  When the DLC's are released, I will come back and update the score card for my rating.

Eagles Win Super Bowl 41 to 33

Nick Foles won the Super Bowl with the same team that he left 3 years ago.  That goes to show that the problem was not the player, the problem was the manager that couldn't develop talent and know how to use the skillset of his team to win.  Well, I did not see this coming: the New England Patriots lost to the Philadelphia Eagles!  This is the first Super Win for the Philadelphia Eagles. The final score was
Eagles - 41
Patriots - 33


For the NFL history buffs Patriots vs Eagles is a rematch from Superbowl XXXIX where the Patriots won 24 to 21. This year things turned out differently.  The Patriots was behind in every quarter of this game, never taking the lead.  For some reason, starting Cornerback, Malcolm Butler, did not play in this game due to coaches decision.

With an injured hand, Tom Brady threw for 505 yards, which is a record, but it was not enough to overcome destiny.  I do not know if the Patriots were celebrating too early, but they did not have an answer for the Eagles well managed team.  To be honest, it was a dog fight and the Patriots did not have an answer for the hay maker blows the Eagles dished out.

The Eagles played as a solid well managed team, but a lot of credit has to be given to Nick Foles. Foles was drafted by the Eagles in 2012.  He had a good start taking over for NFL Michael Vick.  In 2015, out of the blue, Nick Foles was traded to the Rams for an injured Sam Bradford and draft pick.  This was the beginning of the end for Foles career.  Foles lost the start Quarterback on the Rams and became a back up for the Rams and Chiefs.

In 2017, Foles was free agent, signed to a 1 year deal to back the Rookie star Carson Wentz.  The Eagles went on a championship run to clinch a bye week as the top seed in the playoffs.  In week 14, Carson Wentz went down with a season ending ACL tear injury.  Nick Foles was named the started and took the team to win a Super Bowl Championship. What are the odds?  Nick Foles was tossed aside by a bad manager, and he came back to win the team a championship.

As a long time Eagles fan, all I can say is Fly Eagles Fly!  Nick Foles what a hell of a Quartback, from traded to another team to Super Bowl MVP.

The Four: Battle for Stardom Conspiracy

I was catching up on some of the popular shows on air before re-run seasons start.  I was watching Fox's The Four: Battle for Stardom, and I saw a shocking episode that really upset me. 

The Four: Battle for Stardom is hosted by Sean Combs (Diddy), DJ Khaled, Meghan Trainor, Charlie Walk.  On last week episode, 2 out 3 contestants were unseated.  The moment that shocked me the most was when Meghan Trainor tried to have a secret meeting with her other managers to prevent a challenge from a contestant.  Meghan told her fellow managers, that the challenger is better than her favorite champions, and she didn't want a challenge b/c the champions would lose to the challenger.  I was shocked!

Isn't this show suppose to be about anyone can take your spot if you are not willing to give you best 100%?  Meghan argued that their champions aren't doing well today and had family issues or illnesses that are preventing them from performing at their best.  She said let's not give another contestant a shot b/c she likes the current champions.

Diddy looked at Meghan with a disgusted look, and he told the rest of the managers that the reason for the show is for you to have a competition.  Diddy stated if the champions cannot defend their spot, then they do not deserve the spot.  Meghan was in tears, and she said you know the female challenger will defeat their champions if its not fair to make them compete like this.  Diddy said in the real world and on a job, if you get sick and can't perform then you lose your job and no one will feel sorry for you.  In that moment, all the managers said let the challenger have a chance.  In a minute, the authorization changed the show.

The champion, Zhavia, went head to head with the challenger, Kendyle Paige.  The young champion, Zhavia was sick and she couldn't perform at 100% to defend herself.  The veteran champion, Kendyle took her Zhavia.  It was not even a fair competition.  All four judges awaited the results that Kendyle to won. The world watched as the Zhavia was defeated.  Social Media was in an uproar b/c Zhavia was dethroned. 

There was more controversy that Meghan Trainor tried to prevent the challenge, so that she can protect her favorite Zhavia.  In the real world, that would be nepotism or favoritism not allowing qualified talent to have a chance to have a career.  Diddy did a speech saying "if you deny that woman, Kendyle Paige, a chance to compete, then you are denying her a change to live and make a living for herself.  You better be damn sure you are ready to live with that guilt for not giving Kendyle an opportunity b/c Zhavia is your favorite."

A week later, Zhavia would come back to challenge for a spot in the Final Four.  Zhavia was healthy and gave her all.  She dethroned the young champion Tim Johnson to be named as a Final Four Finalist. Only one will walk away with a recording contract, but we all know who is the favorite here, Zhavia.

Also, Charlie Walk will not be apart of the Finale b/c he is under investigation for sexual harassment as part of the "Me Too" movement.  Seems Charlie Walk was trading sex for opportunities and contracts.  Charlie decided to prevent the controversy around him from effecting the show, so he decided to not attend the Finale...

Marvel's Black Panther Cast is Star Studded and Successful

I can't wait to see the Black Panther Movie coming out February 16, 2018.  The movie will align with the story line of Captain America Civil War.  King T'Challa returns home to Wakanda to take over the throne due to his father's death.  When T'Challa gets home he faces opposition and a challenge for the throne by powerful foes.  In order to take on the challengers, King T'Challa becomes the Black Panther.  This movie has me excited b/c of the cast.  Lupita Nyong'o is from Star Wars.  Michael B. Jordan is from Fantastic 4 and Creed.  Danai Gurira play Michonne on The Walking Dead.   My question is Michael B. Jordan plays Johnny Storm from the Fantastic 4, so how can he play as Erik Killmonger in the Black Panther?  I wonder if that's an indicator that the Fantastic 4 is not going to get a sequel?

Anyways, here is the main cast for the Black Panther:

Cast overview, first billed only:
	Chadwick Boseman	...	T'Challa / Black Panther
	Michael B. Jordan	...	Erik Killmonger
