HTC 10 Specs

HTC unveiled their newest flagship phone today: the HTC 10. The HTC 10 is a definite update and upgrade from the previous HTC M9 and even the A9 which came out in late 2015. The design is pretty similar to both the M9 and the A9 (sleek curves, powerful speakers in the bottom), but the beauty of this rockstar is on the inside.

HTC 10 New Features

Because of various hardware and software updates, phone company boasts that the HTC 10 can last up to two days without a charge.

And while the sound quality of the M9 and A9 were already incredible, HTC is doubling down on audiophiles with an updated soundsystem. In addition to the HTC Boomsound present on the bottom of the device, HTC and JBL have teamed up to include a pair of noise-cancelling headphones that are included with every phone.

The camera has also been improved from previous phones, a feature some previous HTC users were less than thrilled about. The new camera on the HTC 10 features a 12-ultrapixel camera on the rear, and “an industry first” (according to CNET) image stabilized 5-megapixel camera on the front.


HTC 10 Release Date

The phone will begin shipping in early May. Right now, pre-orders for unlocked phones are only available for T-Mobile and AT&T. Verizon and Sprint phones will be available soon.


HTC 10 Price

The HTC will ship for $699 and will be available to US customers in two colors: silver and black. Unfortunately, the dope looking red cases will only be available to customers in Japan.

University of Nebraska Student Kicked Out of Chi Omega Over ‘Risque’ Tinder Photo

Shannon Workman Tinder

Facebook

If Shannon Workman’s experience shows anything, it’s that the University of Nebraska is full of a bunch of uptight jacka**es. So, note to self: never go to the University of Nebraska.

The cute blonde student was formally kicked out of her sorority after posting a “provocative” Tinder photo where she is seen wearing her letters alongside two of her friends.

Here’s the full offensive photo. Shield your virgin eyes, folks:

University of Nebraska Tinder
Wow, ok. So… short shorts… that’ll get you kicked out of a Nebraska sorority. Makes sense.

Naturally Shannon’s mother was less than thrilled when she found out her daughter was practically slut-shamed for no real reason. So instead of marching down to the sorority house and reaming out every girl individually (which is what my mother would have done), she posted the following message to Facebook:

Well said, Mrs. Shannon’s mom. Considering the photo was on Tinder for the past eight months without issue, we don’t get what all of the fuss is about now. But apparently Chi Omega has a record of kicking people out for pointless reasons:

Chi Omega’s national chapter has yet to respond. Presumably because they are complete a**holes and not willing to openly admit that to the public.

Film Student Spends $2,500 Financial Aid Check On Vacation To Thailand

Brandon Lerry Financial Aid Thailand

Brandon Lerry is a Los Angeles film student who recently made the news for spending his $2,500 financial aid check on a vacation to Thailand with his girlfriend of a couple of months. In addition to a ton of Instagram photos, the young couple posted a video and some Facebook pictures documenting their trip.

But now that their excursion to Thailand has gone viral courtesy of an EliteDaily article, people on the internet are less than pleased about Brandon’s use of that money. Color us surprised. People are also a little confused about the facts of the story.


Who Is Brandon Lerry?

Brandon Lerry Photos

Brandon Lerry a film major student at California State University-Long Beach.

Brandon claims that he received a $2,500 financial aid check because of the fact that he was legally emancipated at the age of 16. As such, he’s considered an “independent student” by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and is eligible for financial aid because he’s paying for college without any outside help.

Brandon claims that $2,500 check went towards the flights for both him and his girlfriend. His job as an Uber driver helped to pay for some of the other costs.


Who Is Brandon’s Girlfriend?

Brandon’s girlfriend is Natalie Kremer who works as a waitress at a sports bar. The two had only been dating a few months before they decided to travel to Thailand together.

This was Natalie’s first trip out of the country.


“How I Spent My Financial Aid Like A Boss” Video

In addition to the amazing Instagram photos that Brandon and Natalie posted to @OurVisualEscape, the couple also made a phenomenal YouTube video documenting their journey.


Immediate Response To Their Trip

A lot of people are reacting negatively to the journey that Brandon and his girlfriend took. Either people are looking down on him for spending his money so foolishly, or they’re saying he’s indicative of millenials and people looking for handouts.

Of course, you also have people on the other side of the spectrum who think that what Brandon did was awesome. But here on the internet, you don’t really hear as many nice things that people say.


 

Brandon and Natalie’s Defense of Their Trip

Brandon and Natalie posted this Instagram caption to explain how they were able to afford the trip:

A common question that people seem to ask us is how were able to take so many trips and how were able to fund all of our traveling. Especially being a young couple who both work and go to school. It’s actually pretty simple, being passionate about something can make you do whatever it takes. Brandon is an uber driver, a full-time film student, a part-time intern, and I’m a waitress at a sports bar. We both thankfully have pretty flexible schedules when it comes to taking time off. It all starts with a vision. A destination in mind and once we buy that plane ticket or figure out a way of getting there, everything else sort of falls into place. We prioritize and budget our money leading up to our trip by not going out every weekend and not eating out as much (which actually helps a lot)! We know first hand that it could be a little discouraging to see all these photos on Instagram of others traveling to these amazing places and it might seem like they have unlimited money or zero responsibilities at home but you don’t need all the money in the world to go on that trip you’ve been dreaming about. We are just two normal people who don’t come from much but are both extremely passionate about seeing the world. We came to the realization that you can’t put off the things that you truly want. People tend to say, “as soon as I do this THEN I can do that.” The problem with thinking that way is that there will always be something in your way stopping you from what you truly want to do. Don’t sell yourself short of what you’re capable of accomplishing. The time is now.

 

 

Someone Finally Invented a Working Hoverboard and It’s Absolutely Awesome

Perhaps the most disappointing thing about 2015 was that we, as a society, were forced to face a grim reality: Back to the Future II had lied to us. There were no hoverboards. None. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Not that there hadn’t been attempts, but they weren’t the hoverboards that every sci-fi dork had been dreaming of for decades. And don’t even get me started on those glorified Segways that have been rolling around under false names.

Well, the wait may finally be over and all I can say is “better late than never.”

Say hello to the Flyboard Air, the newest creation from French inventor and professional jet ski racer Frank Zapata. He’s the guy who came up with those water-propelled boards back in 2011, but he’s definitely stepped up his game.

Check it out:

Beyond the height and speeds—it’s reportedly capable of reaching 93 mph and soaring to 10,000 feet—details about the Flyboard Air have been limited. However, based on footage, tech sites like Gizmodo are speculating that device is powered by a turbine engine, which fed by a backpack full of fuel, allowing it to be untethered.

Of course, some people have been quick to dismiss the whole thing as a hoax. As proof that they’re not yanking our chain, Zapata Racing has also released this, less polished video showing one of the board’s test runs:

These Brothers Unleashed a Zombie Apocalypse Prank on Their Drugged-Up Sister & The Results Are Amazing

Millicent is the sister of two very cruel brothers. After she woke up from a wisdom tooth removal surgery, her brothers took advantage of her drugged and drowsy state, and informed her that a viral outbreak in Washington DC is turning humans into flesh-eating zombies. Millicent’s reaction was priceless.

Millicent started off the day in the dentist’s chair, post-surgery, holding a teddy bear. All is fine and dandy until she gets in the car, chauffeured by her “evil” brother.

The radio comes on, and the Old Spice announcer says, “The Center for Disease Control in Washington DC has issued a viral outbreak warning. State and local official have reported cases of high fever, nausea, death and even cannibalism.”

Cannibalism.

The phone rings. It’s mom. She hysterically repeats the same message and urges the kids to get home ASAP.

Whoa, sh*t just got real.

When her brother stopped to load the car, Millicent was unimpressed by his choice of weaponry.

Among the pitch fork and the garden hoe, her brother hands her the deadliest weapon of all – the gripper.

But Millicent was no fool. She could tell the difference between a gripper and a gun.

When faced with the dilemma of choosing between her two pets, a cat and a dog, Millicent is ruthless.

After driving around for a bit longer, the brothers finally reveal to Millicent that this is all a prank; there’s no zombie apocalypse and she can finally go back to bed and sleep for a few hours.

Millie’s response? “Oh.”

The YouTube video was posted on Monday, and went viral immediately.

Even under heavy sedatives, Millicent was focused, decisive and determined to brave through this horrific reality. A congressional medal of honor is in order.

Natalie Kremer Photos

Natalie Kremer is one half of the amazing Instagram account @OurVisualEscape that’s gone viral. Her boyfriend, Brandon Lerry, and her took a trip to Thailand and other Asian countries with the help of a $2,500 financial aid check.

People are less than pleased about the use of the money for things other than textbooks, but both Natalie and Brandon defended their actions and use of the check in an Instagram article.

Personally, I don’t have as big of a problem with it as some of the other grumpy people on the internet. If the government comes and penalizes him because of his use of the money, that’s one thing. But anyone else who’s saying he’s irresponsible or whatever are just jealous that the two of them got to travel to the dopest place in the world while they’re still young.

Thailand is the bomb. It’s cheap. It’s fun. And it’s relatively safe (unless you’re Pierce Brosnan and Owen Wilson)

But yeah, seriously people, do like Natalie does and take a chill pill. Check out her photos below for some inspiration.

kobe bryant last game

Kobe Bryant’s last game will take place Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 10:30 PM EST on ESPN2.

In the third-to-last game of his storied career, Kobe Bryant nearly matched his age in points on Sunday, scoring 35 points in a 130-110 loss to the Houston Rockets. For his final game, the Lakers plan to bring in about 30 of Bryant’s former teammates, with commitments including Shaquille O’Neal, Robert Horry, Rick Fox, Ron Harper, DJ Mbenga and Adam Morrison.

It is being reported that this game is expected to have the same atmosphere of an NBA finals game. According to a Lakers publicist, “The game is going to be a ‘zircus’ — a zoo and a circus,” and that “the amount of reporters at the game is absolutely unprecedented for a regular season game.” Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea will play the national anthem Jimi Hendrix-style and then there will be a tribute video a few minutes long.

Bryant entered the NBA directly from high school, and he has played for the Lakers his entire career, winning five NBA championships. Bryant is an 18-time All-Star, 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, and 12-time member of the All-Defensive team. He has led the league in scoring twice, and he ranks third on both the league’s all-time regular season scoring and all-time postseason scoring lists. After beginning his 20th season with the Lakers in 2015–16, which set an NBA record for the most seasons with the same team, Bryant announced that he would retire after the season.

Ohio University’s Greek Week Cancelled After ‘Build a Wall’ Graffiti Appears On-Campus

Donald Trump Ohio University

Twitter

When UTC’s Hailey Puckett was asked to step down from her SGA position because of her support for Donald Trump, people were outraged. And rightfully so — you should be able to express your political beliefs (in a non-offensive manner) without being chastised for them. However, there is a right and wrong way to go about this. And the wrong way was on display at Ohio University.

The university’s Greek Week — which was set to take place between April 11 and 18 — was cancelled after Pro-Donald Trump graffiti showed up on campus. According to The Post, unnamed members of sorority and fraternity life painted the graffiti wall by Bentley Hall, with the phrase “build the wall” on clear display.

Now, let’s be clear — I hate Donald Trump and everything he stands for. Would I want to befriend a Trump supporter? Not particularly; our morals are different. But do you have to respect someone’s opinion? More or less, yes. Does it have to be graffitied all over campus with offensive slogans? No.

Naturally, I am far from the only person who thinks this. In a letter addressed to to the “OU Sorority and Fraternity Life community and supporters,” the Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and the Women’s Panhellenic Association expressed their disappointment.

“This phrase is offensive and hurtful to many individuals as it is directly tied to the Hispanic/Latino/a community, makes them feel marginalized, and the message was interpreted that they do not belong at Ohio University,” the letter stated.

The affiliation and names of the Greek members involved are not stated in the letter, as it “is not at the center of this controversy.” Those individuals will not face sanctions, and, according to the letter, were within their rights to free speech.

President Roderick McDavis elaborated in an email sent to students Friday.

“Indeed, this wall is a place of free speech and expression; however, the words painted were troubling because they had a very different meaning to some than they may have to others viewing the message or even to those who painted the message,” McDavis said in the email.

In short: save your opinion for a debate, not a campus wall.

Tulane Frat Erects “Make America Great” Wall, Take It Down Quickly, Probably In Trouble Anyways

Tulane Kappa Alpha 2

Every year, the Kappa Alpha Order pledges at Tulane University build a wall around their fraternity house. Those pledges than stand guard over the wall, making sure that rival fraternity members, GDIs, or other heathens don’t try and dismantle it.

However, one anonymous and genius fraternity brother decided to make this annual tradition more about Trump and politics than the fraternity and his brothers. He decided to spray paint “Make America Great” in black around the wall. You can see the result of his handiwork below.

[Editor’s Note: We know that this is almost an exact replica of the story that we just wrote, but it’s completely different. We promise. Also, shoutout to /r/Frat even though we saw this first on /r/The_Donald.]

Kappa Alpha Tulane Trump Wall
Tulane Kappa Alpha

Of course, it was only a matter of time before multiple minority students took offense at the statement seemingly made by an entire fraternity. Tulane student Khristyan Trejo posted an announcement to Facebook, in addition to the two photos you see above.

As part of Kappa Alpha Order’s (KA) annual tradition, the fraternity at Tulane University decided to build a wall around their house; however, this time they built a wall filled with connotations of hate and ignorance, directly mocking the experiences of Latino immigrants and workers throughout our nation. By writing “TRUMP” in large, red letters across their “wall,” KA changed what was a tradition of building a wall into a tradition of constructing a border, symbolizing separation and xenophobia. This issue not only affects Latinos but all other marginalized immigrant groups in this country.

In Trump’s own words, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best…they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists” – quote from Trump’s speech announcing his presidential candidacy, June 2015

Please help us raise awareness of this persistent prejudice and share/like this post.

‪#‎StandWithYourGENTE‬ ‪#‎onlyatTulane‬

Soon after, the actual brothers of Kappa Alpha smartly decided it was in their best interest to take the wall down. But in the midst of that deconstruction, a couple of players from the football team showed up and wound up doing all the heavy lifting on their behalf.

In the video below, you can hear one Kappa Alpha brother trying to talk to a very busy football player, while in the background you can hear another brother telling everyone to go inside so as not to cause a further scene.

Politics or not, it’s gotten to the point that you should know something like this is going to set off minority students around your school. If you want to make a point as an individual, have at it. Deal with those consequences yourself.

But don’t bring your f*cking brothers into the mix. That’s a paddlin.

Thailand Plans to Send Drunk Drivers to Morgues as Punishment & WTF That Sounds Terrifying

Morgue Thailand Drunk

So, this is f*cking terrifying. In an effort to curb the amount of drunk driving incidents in Thailand, authorities are seeking out a new form of punishment: sending offenders to morgues.

WTF?! That’s way worse than Scared Straight.

Driving altercations are a problem Thai people have been facing for a while; according to a 2014 study from the University of Michigan, Thailand’s traffic fatality rate was the second-highest in the world and a slap on the wrist by some giant dude in uniform doesn’t seem to be helping. Authorities believe that sending traffic offenders and drunk drivers to clean and transport dead bodies at hospital morgues would be better than them doing community service — the bodies they are dealing with could have been them or victims of their stupidity.

“They should see the actual physical and mental damage,” a public health official told the AP, “so that they may understand and attain a good conscience, so that it could be safer on the roads.”

Yeah, that would definitely do it for me.

The program comes right before Thailand’s week-long celebration known as Songkran, a booze-fueled event in which an estimated 160 people will be injured. On top of that, roughly two people will die an hour over the week-long holiday, making this whole morgue visitation thing even more legit. Send them off! Stat!

The University of Buffalo Has a New Logo, See The Sleek New Design Here

University of Buffalo New Logo

The University of Buffalo has a new athletics logo. While the traditional interlocking UB logo will still be used, a new wordmark and spirit mark were announced as of Tuesday, April 12.

The new spirit mark is the first update to the bull since 2006 and the new, modernized wordmark comes after a three year experiment during which the school tried to emphasize the “New York” part of Buffalo, New York. It was an initiative introduced by former athletic director Danny White, who hoped it would expand the school’s profile. White believed the Bulls would generate additional national attention because more people identified with New York than Buffalo.

University of Buffalo Logo

Well, White underestimated the Buffalo-love. Complaints from Buffalo students, alumni, and residents came pouring in. “Apparently, someone is ashamed of Buffalo or doesn’t want it to be known the campus is in Buffalo,” David Schaff wrote in a letter published in the local paper on March 27. “Anyone on a national level will think the school is in New York City. A slap in the face.”

Now, the “State University of New York Buffalo,” in which “New York” was highlighted, will be traded in for a simpler “Buffalo.”

“As the largest and most comprehensive public university in the State University of New York system, it is important that ‘New York’ is still a part of our identity and reflects our athletic and academic strength, which is shown through our new tagline, ‘New York’s Public Powerhouse,’” athletics director Allen Green told the UB Reporter. “Our research also showed us that “Buffalo” has a very strong place in the hearts and spirit of the UB community.”

“The intent for branding with emphasis on New York was to stimulate discussion about UB’s stature in New York, build momentum and tell UB Athletics’ story in a thought-provoking way, and that effort was a tremendous success,” Greene said. “Now that we are unified with every school and department at UB, we have more strength than ever before.”

Shannon Workman Nebraska

Facebook

You know what’s weird? Getting kicked out of a sorority for ridiculous reasons. It really doesn’t fare well with the people who hate Greek life and judge the hell out of it. Enter Shannon Workman, a student at the University of Nebraska and former sorority sister of Chi Omega.

Here’s everything you need to know about the University of Nebraska’s Shannon Workman.

Who is Shannon Workman?

Shannon Workman is a student at the University of Nebraska. Originally from Omaha, Workman is a junior at UNO and former member of the school’s Chi Omega sorority. Aside from thriving in school, Workman was also a UNO cheerleader for two years.


What happened to Shannon Workman?

Shannon Workman was recently kicked out of her sorority over a Tinder photo. Weird, right? It gets worse — her sorority officers said the photo violated the Rule Of Human Dignity and was provocative. So, what’s the photo that caused such a fuss? Prepare to shield your eyes:

University of Nebraska Tinder
Yeah… that’s it. She was wearing her letters with a pair of shorts… real provocative. The photo — despite it being posted to the popular dating app eight months prior to its discovery — caused her sorority to call a meeting.

“I posted a picture on Tinder. It was me at Bid Day wearing the outfit they gave us.” Shannon said in a report with an NBC affiliate. “I don’t think it’s provocative or risque and required the meeting in the first place.”

Unfortunately for Shannon, the confrontation was less than surprising. “I had a feeling that something was going to go bad-just because of how the chapter is in the current state,” Shannon explained. In an effort to show the sorority for what it is, Workman recorded the meeting on her phone.

“The fact is we’re having combative attitude and disrespect. You’re not…we’ve asked you multiple times do you see where this is in violation and you keep saying no. So that tells me that you do not…

“I was just being honest.” Shannon said.

“That’s okay and that’s great.”

“If I’m going to get kicked out for that then let it be.” Shannon said.

“That’s okay. People have their own opinions and values and if they don’t align…

“Do you just have a hit list of people you’re trying to get out of the chapter?” asked Shannon.

“No, we don’t.”

“I don’t understand this. Out of all the people in the chapter I’m the only one getting kicked out because I’m standing up for what I believe in.” Shannon said tearfully.

“What you believe in doesn’t align with what we believe in.”

Shannon walked out of the meeting no longer a Chi Omega.

She continued: “Chi Omegas from all over the world have reached out to me saying they’re sorry and they’re there for me.” she said. “They’re still my best friends and I have nothing but respect for them.”


Reactions to Shannon Workman’s Story

After being kicked out, Shannon’s mom came to her defense and called out the sorority for being the absolute worst.

Well said, Mrs. Shannon’s mom. From there, other stories started to surface:

As for the general public’s reaction, opinions seem unanimous: this whole situation is a complete joke.

David Bracket Jet Blue

David Brackett, a previously unknown loser in the most supreme sense of the word, just went viral because of a disturbance he caused on a Jet Blue flight. The video, which was recorded by passenger Sara Bear and then shared by the Facebook page Rants of Sassy Stew, shows David arguing and complaining about pretty much everything.

OK complaining isn’t the right word. Bleating is probably better. Hearing this guy bleating about his 176 IQ, $4 million paycheck, and six houses is just painful to watch… until he gets dragged off the plane.

It’s honestly a miracle that no one punched this dude in his greasy face.

David Bracket Jet Blue Information

David Brackett is the man who was recently filmed causing a disturbance on a Jet Blue flight from Long Beach to Sacramento this past Monday. The video was recorded by passenger Sara Bear, who then shared the video with Sassy Stew Rants, a Facebook page specializing in strange airplane events.

You can watch the video in its entirety in the link below, but the gist of everything is that it’s an eleven-minute long clip of David, one female passenger, and two other male passengers all arguing and threatening everyone.


David Brackett Jet Blue Video

The video you can watch in the link above is the event that started the whole thing. I think it should be mentioned that David (the guy in the jump suit) is not the only awful person on the plane, those two bald knuckleheads were also deservedly thrown off the plane.


Who Is David Brackett?

David Brackett is not a loser. David Bracket is a 27 (or 28)-year-old man who has it all. A 176 IQ. 20/20 vision. A $4 million salary. Six houses. SIX HOUSES.

David Brackett is also the person who identified himself on camera as he was being thrown off a Jet Blue flight, which wasn’t the best idea for someone who has a 176 IQ. It’s somewhat strange that his 20/20 vision didn’t see this PR nightmare coming from a mile away.

 


David Brackett’s Apology

After he was escorted off the plane by Air Marshals, taken to the Long Beach Police Department, and subsequently released, David issued a formal apology for his actions.

“I’m standing up for my mistakes. I’m not blaming anybody but myself for the actions that I did. The PTSD thing that I do have, it’s the first time where I’ve had to do something that I regret.” PTSD? Yes, PTSD. But not from fighting abroad or anything like that. Check out where he got PTSD from.

He blames his outburst on post-traumatic stress disorder, which he says developed after a motorcycle crash that broke almost every bone in his body.

He says the incident unfolded when the other passenger told him the flight attendant was of Middle Eastern descent and likely had a bomb.

“I lost it. I heard ‘bomb’ in my head and did what I did,” said Brackett, who said he tried to get off the plane before he overreacted, but the other passenger stole his cellphone. He says he recorded audio of it. [source]

Tinder is so hit or miss. Sometimes you make it out of there lucky — you swipe right on a gorgeous girl who actually turns out to be a gorgeous girl in real life. She isn’t trying to scam you for pizza, you two have good conversation, go on a few dates, eventually (fingers crossed) get laid, and literally date. Unfortuantely in the world of online dating, this is what we call a unicorn. More times than not, you’re being catfished by some weird guy with a lot of time on his hands. Or you can be like Arielle Musa, who wasn’t catfished at all, but instead went on a Tinder date with the worst person in New Jersey. And that’s saying a lot.

Musa met Endri on Tinder, some dude she thought seemed relatively normal until she talked to him for more than five minutes in person. During their bar date near Rutgers University, Endri got weird.

“I felt creeped out by him and his personality and the way he looked at me,” explained Arielle in a recent interview with Metro. That’s reason enough to not want to hook up with someone, right? Apparently to Endri, that’s not the case. Dude went off the handle when she told him she wasn’t interested in seeing him again.

A normal response would be “nice meeting you!” and walk away quietly. Unfortunately not everyone is that courteous. AKA your boy Endri.

Ok Endri so, what was your end game here? Explain it to us. After berating her for several minutes, did you think Arielle was going to change her mind? Realize she was totally wrong about you being a f*cking weirdo and jump straight into your bed? And several times after that? Because if you did, you are mentally deranged and need to meet more women.

Good luck with that Endri! If it’s hard for you to get laid now, imagine what’s going to happen after this goes viral!

Bravely Second: End Layer Review: Must-See Details & Screenshots

Bravely Second: End Layer

For RPG gamers, especially those with old school tastes, the 3DS is the most important system to own. Publishers such as Square Enix, Atlus and Nintendo keep the system thriving by pumping out regular releases that call back to the days of old, when traditional turn-based, strategy-focused RPGs were king. Square Enix’s Bravely Default, which came out in 2014, was one of the best in the flood of handheld RPGs, thanks to its unique battle strategy design. Now comes the sequel, Bravely Second: End Layer, which establishes the franchise as one of the most exciting int he genre.

Game: Bravely Second: End Layer
Consoles: 3DS (reviewed)
Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Silicon Studio
Release Date: April 15

Like the last game, the sequel thrives on the metagame that evolves within every battle. Every conflict presents you with the risk-reward judgment of either going all out with your usual barrage of spells and attacks, or lock down and do no damage, skipping turns in hopes of launching a sea-changing assault once you’re fully powered up. Anyone who thinks turn-based fighting has become passe hasn’t played a Bravely game. Every turn forces you to make a series of spot decisions that could lead to unlikely triumph or throw away would could have been a comfortable win. Even the most mundane of enemy encounters becomes a psychological, analytical puzzle to break down and solve.

As with nearly all RPGs, the story in Bravely Second is a jumble of mistaken identities, false endings and paradigm-changing twists. The gist is that potentially realm-saving heroine Agnes Oblige has been captured, and you take control of a knight named Yew to band together with a group of unlikely heroes to rescue her and take down the mysterious network of villains who captured her. After sitting through some extraneous background, you steadily take control of the slow-burning story through an extended tutorial that teaches you the complexities of battle, as well as the job system and how it relates to special abilities. Even if you’re familiar with the first game, the opening segments work as important refreshers to get you back in the flow. This is the type of game that requires you to think in a specific way, and if you lose its rhythms and lose track of what you’er doing, you’re toast.

Before you check out the main game, you should download the demo, titled Bravely Second: The Ballad of the Three Cavaliers, which serves a prologue that coalesces with the main story and gets you up to speed on the battle and inventory systems. Once you buy the full game, you’re rewarded with in-game rewards that give you an edge when you start off your request. The clever marketing ploy gets you addicted to the story and gameplay before you even start, and gives you a full enough taste of the main game so you can either buy it with confidence or know for sure that this one isn’t for you.

Once you start Bravely Second: End Layer, you embark on a quest that lasts dozens of hours and will lead to all sorts of frustrations and triumphs. It’s a game you might start on your lunch break, only to realize that you’ve let an extra half hour go by without realizing it. A compelling story, fascinating battle system and just enough Japanese oddity to give the game an othereal edge, it’s a game that will make you thankful the 3DS exists, especially now that the Vita — which also had a string of strong RPGs — has been left to die. This is a game to savor, swap war stories about on Facebook groups, then analyze and restart again with more knowledge and skill. Somehow, Square Enix’s new series has managed to dethrone Final Fantasy for the hearts of the RPG-obsessed.

Bravely Second: End Layer Reviews Around The Web:

“The pace of combat is faster and the enemies move faster, too. Instead of throwing lots of aggressors at you, Dark Souls III prefers to confront you with individually challenging opponents.” –Kotaku

“I can honestly say that the mixing bowl of Bloodborne and Souls elements in the Undead Settlement made for fantastic exploration.” –Game Informer

“From Software increased its diversity of enemies, environments, and dangerous situations to an even higher degree with the first few hours of its next outing.” –GameSpot

Vanessa Bryant: Hottest Photos Of Kobe Bryant’s Wife

Kobe Bryant Wife

Vanessa Bryant, wife of Kobe Bryant, is one of the hottest WAGs in professional basketball. The former music video dancer met Kobe Bryant at the filming of Tha Eastsidaz music video “G’d Up” and things went on from there. You can watch the music video below–she’s the high school girl (yikes) dancing in the car at around 0:30 seconds in.

Like we said, Vanessa (real name Vanessa Cornejo Ubrieta) and Kobe met when she was in high school and there was an instant attraction. Although she was still a high school senior at the time, her music video career was so successful that she had to finish her degree at home because she kept missing class. She married Kobe at the age of 19.

Obviously there have been some ups and downs in their relationship. In addition to the fact that Kobe is well-regarded as the most competitive and fierce ruthless athlete in professional sports, there was also that whole rape case he fought in Colorado. Although Kobe eventually settled that case, he had to publicly admit that he had cheated on his wife Vanessa.

That being said, he’s not the first and he won’t be the last professional athlete to cheat on his spouse…even if she already is super hot.
