Today I am going to get more into Tumblr. So if you know anything I should follow or anything tell me. Thanks
Smite Initial Impressions
Smite is a game very similar to LoL, but instead of controlling your Champion or God in this case from a top down POV you control them from a 3rd person POV, this changes some of the basic concepts of the game. You can no longer see behind you making it easier for people to sneak up on you, but you can see extremely far in front of you balancing it out. The combat also is more skill based involving moving around and casting them in the right spot. Because of all of this I find that it takes less tactics than LoL does. Instead its more of a combat focused game. The matches are also faster than a LoL match. The graphics in the game are very good though. One of my major complaints is the the main attack, it doesn’t have a good animation and you can’t tell your doing damage through the animation. Also the HUD in the game and interface seems very clunky at times. But all of these features can be fixed over time, it just needs time to polish like LoL has. But overall it’s got promise but not everyone who likes LoL will like Smite, because of the way the tactics have changed.
It is definitely not a conventional couch! The “Space Invader Couch” was designed by Igor Chak. It is essentially made with leather and two glass surfaces. Although, it looks geometrical (which may hint not too comfy), the sitting is actually soft because it is lined with memory foam.

Celebrating 25 years of the GIF with Lacey Micallef
Too much junk food will certainly rot your teeth. Or if you’re Lacey “lulinternet” Micallef, it will make you famous. Micallef has filled her Tumblr with colorful GIFs of flying pizzas, tacos, and donuts that will have you licking your lips.
“The GIF is perfect for the quick, looping animations that I do and without them, I’d literally be nowhere in my ‘art career.’”
(via Acclaimed artists commemorate the 25-year anniversary of the GIF)
Wii U Opinion
After seeing the wii u at Nintendo’s press conference I believe it is a very interesting concept but it might have a few problems. The first problem is that the power of the wii u is only slightly greater than the power of the current generation consoles. This means that all of the current generation games can be transferred over and that some next generation games will also be transferred over. But the problems we see today with the Wii not being able to handle the more powerful games will most likely haunt the wii u. This is because the Xbox and PS successors will most likely be much more powerful than the current consoles making the wii u again under powered for many games. The second problem is developer support, when developers were recently asked by IGN on what consoles they will most likely develop for in the next generation they said the 720, they also said that the Wii U is the hardest to develop for. Because of this developers won’t be making as many games for the wii u. Meaning there probably won’t be much third party support. Another issue is how much the controller will cost, Nintendo has yet to reveal the cost of the controller seeing as how it has a tablet in the center I’m predicting it will cost a good amount. However I do like the concept of the controller I think it could provide many interesting ways to play games but I’m not sold on it being for hardcore gamers. Overall I think we should wait and see what the other next generation consoles look like before buying the wii u.

Website update
I’m happy to say that I have finished the redesign of the website! With the redesign I’m going to start using tumblr to distribute news. Its the easiest and fastest way to distribute news. But the new website is not up yet it will be soon. When it is I will update tumblr. I will also be using this to update my personal blog with things I’m doing, music I’m listening to, and other things.
