Politicats faq12/31/2023 Right now, I’m really enjoying creating art and telling stories that I like. I’ve spent a lot of time designing and creating visuals for other people. I’m working on an illustrated children’s book called Pandora’s Socks. I’m currently the Art Director for Beachbody and I also create Esports graphics for Riot Games. It’s inspired by Japanese pop culture, TokiDoki & HelloKitty. The company is in its infancy, but the goal is to make cute art, toys, clothing for people of color and have fun. HelloTrilly is a kawaii brand focused on anime, video games, cosplay and art. I did these things for seven years and then formed my own company which is HelloTrilly. I came up the idea for an animated youtube show called and Otaku Taco Truck and collaborated on another youtube show called Politicats. During this time, I created a persona called PeterPanda and made lo-fi beats and visuals on my iPad. At SunnyBoy, we also made short films and pitched intellectual properties and one of my ideas was even optioned by Amazon. I worked as the Creative Director and created visuals for Disney, DeadMau5, SpikeTV, Alcon Entertainment, Discovery Channel, T-Pain, Will-I-Am and Warner Bros., just name a few. In 2007, I started a company with two friends called SunnyBoy Entertainment. ![]() I worked as lead motion designer for a few years, made some new friends and got to know the city. I sent reels of my work to various companies and was working within days on landing in the City of Angels. A friend convinced me that there was more adventure in L.A., so in 2005 I packed up everything and moved here. The owner later told me later that this was one of the reasons he hired me. Pro Tip: I re-designed Tube’s logo and added it to my portfolio. I landed my first professional job at Tube Creative. This one class lead me down a path from being graphic designer to becoming a visual effects artist, motion designer, and eventually Creative Director.Īfter college, I worked as a cashier at Publix, where met a girl name Mysha, who would later become my wife. “accidentally” assigned me an advanced class for Autodesk Maya. I majored in Graphic Design, but S.C.A.D. Honestly, I was a little cocky because I was good at art, but I was quickly humbled by all the talented artists and professors I met. I joined a breakdance crew, fell in love, and made some incredible friends. This experience would change my life forever. ![]() I attended Savannah College of Art & Design from 1996 – 2001. This is how I learned to draw and I was lucky enough to have parents who supported my artistic endeavors from an early age. Through repetition, I learned to appreciate lines, curves, and the shape of text. Eventually, I figured out that I could draw those logos without needing to trace them. and I used to trace NBA logos (Bulls, Knicks & Hawks) over and over because I love Basketball. He became colorblind on that day and tells me “…that’s why you’re so good at art and color.”, genetics is making me stronger than him. Then he looked up at a bright ray of sunlight coming through the curtains and felt a flash in his eyes. One day my father had his face really close to a tv screen because he was fascinated with red, green, and blue patterns. So, before we jump into specific questions, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael White.

Snippets issue investigates secret society scams, fake Facebook lottos, and a new phishing trick: Internet Scambusters #828 Bayonetta 3 pre order12/31/2023 She’s the kind of character that you enjoy playing with because she’s having a blast whipping her hair back and forth. The Bayonetta games are about as over-the-top as you can get. I can see that Bayonetta’s got some wicked new transformations, there’s a new character we get to play as named Viola, there’s multiple Bayonetta’s, a train, a tank, and just… I’m not meant to understand it, I’m just meant to enjoy it – and I always do when it comes to Bayonetta. I assumed I’d have to wait longer for any sort of release date, but not only did this latest trailer give us a glimpse at the delightfully nonsensical plot, but the game’s coming out a lot sooner than I expected! This trailer is so Bayonetta! (Image: Nintendo/PlatinumGames)ĭo I know what’s going on in this new, glorious, age-restricted trailer? No. I’d missed those gun-heeled boots, the time manipulation, the dance moves, and all that fabulous hair. I’m not ashamed to admit that I cheered when I saw Bayonetta outside of Smash Bros. PlatinumGames (the game’s developer) clearly knew we weren’t expecting any Bayonetta news as the trailer showed no signs of it being the return of our hair-raising bad bitch (or rather, witch) until about a minute and a half into it. This means the whole trilogy will be available physically on Switch.During a Nintendo Direct in September 2021, we got our first look at Bayonetta 3, a game that I assumed would never see the light of day. ![]() Lastly, the original Bayonetta will launch physically in limited quantities on Nintendo Switch on September 30, 2022, retailing for $29.99. This special Trinity Masquerade Edition of #Bayonetta3 also dances its way onto #NintendoSwitch on 28/10! It features a 200-page artbook, as well as three special game sleeves which combine to form a panoramic artwork. In North America, it will be available at select retailers and at the My Nintendo Store. ![]() However, there will also be a fancy physical Trinity Masquerade Edition, complete with artwork and special game sleeves. You can preorder Bayonetta 3 now for $59.99 ahead of its October release date. We've added the revolutionary "Naive Angel Mode" to Bayonetta 3 so more people can fully enjoy it□īy turning it on, you can play right in the living room without having to worry about what's on screen… we think□ #Bayonetta3 /SEs3vqrdYc Relax, the witch is back and sexier than ever□ There is also a new “Naive Angel Mode” to remove nudity during special attacks and make you feel less embarrassed about playing when family walks in. ![]() Pretty bonkers, but that’s the Bayonetta series for you. Plot-wise, you’ll be fighting man-made bioweapons called Homunculi. There is also a new playable character named Viola, a witch trainee who fights with a sword and a demon named Cheshire. There will be “a veritable coven of Bayonettas, each more fabulous than the last,” who will fight “through the streets of Tokyo, the mountains of China and beyond!” This is an alliance that has been crafted to save the world. Enzo, Jeanne, Luka, and Rodin all make an appearance, as well as literally more Bayonetta. The gameplay looks way smoother than it did during the Direct, so that’s a plus. Other than that, there’s a lot of stuff to digest. Yes, that is Phantom from Devil May Cry in the trailer and a perfect recreation of the scene where he meets Dante. Sao spear girl12/31/2023 Asuna then gets confused, thinking he did something else. Kirito, terrified of Asuna's wrath, honestly explains he drew cat whiskers on her face. Suspecting foul play, Asuna grabs her sword and asks what he did to her. Eventually, Asuna wakes up with ink marker whiskers on her face and Kirito with a satisfied look on his face. With an above average girl beside and no one around to interrupt, Kirito decides to create mischief. Later that day, Kirito, now sober, sees Asuna sleeping beside him. Asuna wishes that Kirito would sober up soon so she could kick his teeth in.Īsuna invites Kirito to get something to eat. Kirito tells Asuna that she's too stressed out, and invites her to "lie down, relax, and watch the stars" with him, despite the fact it was 2 in the afternoon. ![]() This angers Asuna, because she changed her entire plan just because Kirito insisted that they shouldn't use NPCs as bait, but he didn't even show up. ![]() Kirito doesn't take the matter seriously, because he ate some weird plants in order to raise his Alchemy Skill before the raid, and ended up getting high, having a nap, and completely forgetting about the raid. She talks with, or more appropriately, yells at Kirito for not being at the raid like he was supposed to be, as five more people were killed in his absence. On April 11, 2024, Asuna finds Kirito having a nap on patch of grass under a tree in Danac on Floor 59. This results in the assault team changing the plan. Seeking vengeance, Kirito violently mutilates Gary offscreen, as the others watch in horror, except for Asuna. Before he can argue further, Kirito hears the voice of the NPC named Gary, the same NPC that caused the deaths of Kirito's previous Guild. Kirito disagrees with this plan, since some of his best friends were of NPCs, a fact that did not surprise Asuna. Asuna comes up with a plan to get close enough to aggro the Boss and have their archers lead him to the nearest village, where he'll be too distracted killing the NPCs there to notice their attack. ![]() On March 6, 2024, the assault team are in Pani on Floor 56, discussing the raid of Sheeptar the Sheep King, which had already killed seven of the players according to BallsDeep69.

It is reasonable if you find your organization is behind schedule or has not begun your transition from Skype for Business Online to Microsoft Teams.

Crusader kings 312/31/2023 ![]() Your vassals harbour their own ambitions and will pursue their own agendas, while neighbouring rulers will have to be dissuaded with either military might or a smooth tongue from expanding into your territory. Yet as powerful as you are, you are not omnipotent. The decisions facing you are those of a politician, not a town planner or army commander. Prestige, piety and renown are the real currencies of the realm. Gold is just as likely to be used to grease a palm as it is to pay for the construction of a barracks. The resources at your disposal reflect your status. As the months and years pass, you choose how to tend to your realm, consolidating your holdings with new infrastructure, forging alliances through marriage, and pressing your claims-both legitimate and fabricated-to lands occupied by others. You play as a single person during the Middle Ages, whether the ruler of a minor county or the sovereign of an entire empire. It's a marvel of connectivity, effectively linking together complementary elements plucked from different genres-the role-playing game, the visual novel, the life simulation, the city-builder, the wargame-even if at times you can sense it straining at the seams. Regardless, this memorable event served only to highlight the singular vision of Crusader Kings 3, a grand strategy game that successfully operates across a bewildering scale, feeling vast and unknowable one moment yet awkwardly intimate the next. Perhaps it was also a failing, a breakdown somewhere between the calculations of a mass of colliding gameplay systems and how their results were communicated to me. Perhaps it's a credit to Crusader Kings 3 that I didn't have an immediate answer, a sign of the depth and complexity of its simulation and its capacity for surprise. Was this newfound fashion choice a portent of his impending madness? Was it some bold power move designed to put me off my game? A sign of the contempt in which he held his ruler? Or was it a bug, a highly specific graphical glitch that just happened to leave one of my councillors undressed? I didn't know. This was the man I'd entrusted to manage the paperwork of my realm, to ensure taxes were being collected. On JAD, my steward, vassal and knight, Earl Muiredach mac Carthach of Desmond arrived at the meeting of my small council dressed only in, well. Buddy murphy12/31/2023 ![]() Of course, the question becomes whether or not they are a merely a placeholder to fill out September's Night of Champions pay-per-view or if there are plans to transition them from Raw to SmackDown in hopes of providing the opportunity to shine as the true top team in a division. If that comes on SmackDown Live, where there are fresher feuds and different writers who may value the tandem more than the Raw crew, then so be it. Their usage on the broadcast amounted to the highest-profile role the team has played on television since their union with Shane McMahon, Elias and Drew McIntyre inexplicably disintegrated a month or so ago.Īrguably the best tag team in the industry, their continued excellence has earned them a more significant role on television. The Revival unexpectedly popped up on this week’s SmackDown and inserted themselves in the tag team title hunt, thanks to a backstage promo and main event victory over The New Day. ![]() To suggest that she is anything but the measuring stick for women's wrestling on a grand scale in 2019 would be to admit ignorance for the matches, moments and performance she has been at the center of since her main roster call-up four years ago. ![]() Take into consideration the fact that Becky Lynch's best matches came against Flair and The Queen managed to get engaging performances out of Carmella before that and you have woman who is a top-five performer and one of the in-ring MVPs of Vince McMahon's sports-entertainment empire. At that same pay-per-view, Flair wrestled a show-stealer against a Hall of Famer who had not been a full-time in-ring performer in some 13 years in Trish Stratus. Tuesday, she wrestled a match with Ember Moon infinitely better than the subpar SmackDown women's title match between Moon and Bayley at SummerSlam. The Queen of All Eras may be a fancy nickname designed to splatter on T-shirts, but every superb performance inches her closer to living the gimmick. When you can look up and down the women's roster in WWE and say with unabashed certainty that a high percentage of the Superstars on it have had their best matches with Charlotte Flair, it stops becoming coincidence and sparks the conversation on the second-generation star's greatness. More performances like the one against Reigns and further television exposure will only make it more likely. That Murphy has been at the center of the whodunnit storyline with Reigns, Daniel Bryan and Rowan only helps get him over in a way that just being a really good wrestler never would have.Īt a time when WWE Creative is maligned for not being able to properly utilize the expansive roster at its disposal, Murphy finds himself ready to break out. Its transparency would have diminished Murphy rather than allowing him to build momentum naturally, with hard work and respect the foundation of his relationship with fans. Beating Reigns would have been the start of a forced push that fans would have immediately seen through. ![]() Murphy spent so much time in obscurity as part of NXT and 205 Live, really earning that Best Kept Secret nickname. In losing to The Big Dog but turning in the quality performance that he did, Murphy has the opportunity to build momentum and fanfare more organically. However, follow-up would have been key, and expectations would have been almost impossibly high. Had Buddy Murphy defeated Roman Reigns Tuesday night on SmackDown Live, it would have had Twitter buzzing. AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
