boss

Ever since Bitcoin shot over 1,000% higher in 2017 to hit $20,000 — a price point that was once seen as relatively unobtainable by even some of the cryptocurrency’s most dedicated bulls — analysts have been waiting for the asset to “moon” once again. It appears that the moon, a noun-turned-verb used to describe the price of assets rising an extremely rapid clip, is rapidly approaching — if Bitcoin can break one key level that is. Bitcoin Needs to Break Past Ultimate $14,000 Level While the price of the leading…

We Need More Horror-Injected Video Games

boss

Othercide blends horror and turn-based tactical gameplay. Unusual horror titles are uncommon in games. Games like Little Nightmares and Until Dawn have unique horror elements. Horror is a long-enduring genre. Loosely introduced in the 18th century, horror has prevailed in all art forms from books to movies to music, and especially games. Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Dead Space are popular horror game franchises. But many of these are third or first-person titles involving guns and weapons to fend off monsters. This leads to much of the gameplay and scares…

Markieff Morris Is a Terrible Fit for the Los Angeles Lakers

boss

The Detroit Pistons have bought out the contract of Markieff Morris. The Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as the “frontrunner” to sign him.

The Lakers are the frontrunners to make another bad decision. | Source: Twitter While it would be a cute story that would add to this budding rivalry, it would…

Charles Barkley Is Disgusted by Cavs’ Treatment of John Beilein, and He’s Right

boss

John Beilein resigned as the Cleveland Cavaliers coach earlier this week. Beilein was a class act as he spoke to Cavs players before leaving and refused to blame the Cleveland front office. NBA legend Charles Barkley put the Cavaliers on blast, describing them as “ridiculous and unprofessional.” As a Charles Barkley fan, it’s no shock that I agree 100 percent with his view on how the Cleveland Cavaliers treated former coach John Beilein.
