User blog:Appelmonkey/Monthly New November 2018

From Spooptober to No Nut Shave November. I participated in only one of them, you folk to figure out which. Also apologies for the late post, both Skully and I were high on Dutch weed and Mexican cocaine.

Wiki News

 * In case you missed it Lawrence of Arabia vs. Theodore Roosevelt by Battlefan237 has won Battle of the Season. Again, congrats.
 * With the return of JoJo and the start of Goblin Slayer we are holding JoJo Fridays and Slayer Saturdays where we watch each on Rabbit. Come join us if you like, links will be posted in the Discord's anime channel.

World News

 * The Saga of Florida Man has reached another thrilling conclusion in the 2018 season. The writers have long since teased the complicated and questionable nature of Florida Man and his abilities. This time they went all out and had him attempt assassination against prominent figures in the Democratic Party such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Cory Booker. This isn’t even discounting his attacks on CNN which also failed. He’s currently awaiting trial and will likely be found insane because really he kind of is.
 * Colorado, another horrible State that should sink into the pits of the ocean or be consumed by mountains has recently exceeded one billion dollars in marijuana sales. Of these sales, $200 million has gone to taxes which have helped fund numerous schools throughout the state, further pushing the debate of legalization to generate tons of tax revenue for the respective state governments. Even more as Canada has allowed the legalization of the drug and ran out of the supply within in several days.
 * An end of an era has come and gone as the last of the Queen’s Corgis has died. The Queen was reported to have been heartbroken as she spent the dog’s final moments together before he gently passed away. The Queen has refused to get another dog as she fears what will happen to them once she passes away and they will no longer have anyone to take care of them as she once did. I brought this story up cause I know most of us have had a pet before and we all know that it sucks to know that one day they’ll be gone. Still I recommend you be as close to them as you can be, before the day does come.
 * Elon Musk, the man and legend has continued to make headlines as a tweet that he sent out has resulted in a stiff penalty. For the offending tweet, Elon Musk has been fined $20 million USD, which he called ‘worth it’. The tweet was shown to be misleading to investors and caused many to mock the man, but he does not care and will continue to be a borderline James Bond villain. You know that car he shot up in space? Danial Craig was in there and we all cheered, not knowing his fate.

Popculture News

 * Topping it all off with the media stuff is the fall anime releases. Goblin Slayer is about an adventurer in an RPG type world who just pretty much slays goblins. Got into a little bit of controversy as the streaming platform Crunchyroll didn't give a warning for it and game GS a PG13 rating. They since apologized and changed the rating. JoJo's Bizzare Adventure is back with Vento Aureo Golden Wind following DIO's son in his quest to become a gangstar. Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai which at first glance appears to be just an average comedy romance anime but turns out to be about the interesting relationship about an anti-social guy and a girl only he can see. And lastly Sword Art Online: Alicization which I don't care for.


 * This has been a good month of video game releases. Starting out with the Assassin's Creed Odyssey which takes us back to ancient Greece, if you have played any of the recent AC games however and play this one its likely you won't be missing anything. Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 which stopped trying to be Call of Duty and instead tried to be PUBG, like every game and their dog. Red Dead Redemption 2 which really lives up to the hype, personally I haven't played it, but give it a whirl the overtime the poor devs put into it really showed. And of course the Fallout 76 B.E.T.A dropped, allowing us to explore those radioactive country roads which take us to the place where we belong.


 * Now onto the movies. Halloween 2018 reboots the series up to the second movie, while some praised it for shaking off the strangeness that had become the series' canon, others find it boring and more of the same. A Star is Born featuring Lady Gaga had a strange rivalry with Venom as Lady Gaga fans feared Venom would overshadow it, turns out they didn't need to worry cause Venom is absolute PG-13 crap and not the gritty anti-hero/villain movie we were promised. Lastly, there is The First Man a biopic about Steve Armstrong and his trip to the moon, pretty good movie I've heard.


 * The absolute mad lad that is Toby Fox, creator of indie darling Undertale did it again. On October 30th Toby posted a survey program on his Twitter which actually turned out to be the first chapter of Deltarune, a new game he is currently developing. While it has the same style, humor, and gameplay features as Undertale it takes place in a different world. It also focuses on the conflict between light and dark instead of humans and monsters. Toby has said that he doesn't know when the full game will be released, but one thing is for sure: I will buy that shit.


 * There is an ongoing battle between PewDiePie and Indian record label and film production company T-Series as they battle it out for the most subscribed YouTube channel and to see which one can first reach 69 mil subs. While Pewds has succeeded in doing the latter, it remains to be seen if he can defend his position forever.


 * Staying topic of YouTube, Logan Paul, who earlier this year got into controversy for going to Japan and filming a dead body in Japan infamous Suicide Forrest, got his YT Red series back. This, in turn, sparked some more controversy as some pointed out YT's hypocrisy as PewDiePie who also lost his YT Red series for saying n****r live on stream, but hasn't gotten it back yet.
