Ford’s Mustang GT Series Review

Reviews

Mustang is a world renown car brand with many great car series. My personal favorite is the Mustang GT series. It has many cars but which one should you buy? I'm here to answer that!

The Coyote makes a good track, drag racing, or work engine because of the light…

Why Are Mobile Games So Addictive?

Reviews, Tech & Gaming

Most mobile games look very bad and have false advertisements. You might say they are bad, then you give one a try and you're hooked from there. Why are they so bad yet so addictive? Mobile games are mostly seen with either terrible ads and terrible gameplay, but despite that some people still give it a try and get hooked. Most ads for these games are like something is trapped on one side and needs to get to the other side without dying or losing the prize. You have to move the tiles that are placed in front of them…

Guide to War Thunder

Reviews, Tech & Gaming

War Thunder is a rather popular military simulation game centered around vehicular combat. The game has a rather steep learning curve, and with the addition of premium vehicles costing up to 2000 real life dollars, this game will empty your bank account faster than if you spent a weekend in Las Vegas. Gaijin, the developer of War Thunder, is notorious for ruining their games with Pay-to-Win features. War Thunder was shown to the public in 2011 and was released towards the end of 2013. Surprisingly, even 10 years later, Gaijin hasn't butchered the game entirely, but that could change in…

Slaughterhouse-Five: Student Perspective

Reviews

By: Jaden “War never changes.” This infamous quote that the 18th president, Ulysses S. Grant, said quite often. And to his credit, this statement at its base value often seems to be true. As long as people will disagree with each other, there will always be war, and there will always be people foolish enough to engage in war, or even wage it. The most foolish of these people will always glorify war, and believe themselves heroes of their people, often not realizing how horrible war is. Slaughterhouse Five, or Schlachthof-Fünf is a famous novel by the late Kurt Vonnegut,…
