Let's Go To The Ring!

Just a quick note here to alert anyone to a new project I've been working on: "Let's Go to the Ring!"

"Let's Go to the Ring!" is a podcast about World Championship Wrestling (and its predecessor, Jim Crockett Promotions). Together, John, Alec, and I are going through WCW's big shows, series by series, starting with all the Starrcades, to explore what makes each series unique and what themes come out across the shows, along with the high and low points of each series. It's been an interesting journey so far and I'd like to invite you to come along with us as we discover what made WCW such a fascinating company and why its legacy endures so many years later.

If you're interested, new episodes can be found on iTunes, Google Play Podcasts, or Spotify, or at http://lets-go-2-the-ring.cast.rocks/

A blog, which will also provide episode links, is available at: https://lg2tr.blogspot.com/

You can follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/LetsGo2theRing or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/

We hope you enjoy the show.

A Close Race!

What's going on everyone!?


Today for the #2019gameaday challenge my dear ol' dad and I played a game of Ticket to Ride. 

It was a very close game and surprisingly I came away with the win somehow! 

As usual, it was a good game and he sure doesn't make it easy, lol.


As always, thank you for reading and don't forget to stop and smell the meeples! :)

PUBG New Map Venezia 2.0 Confirmed To Release

PUBG has announced a big update about a new map called 'Venezia'. After the Vikendi snow map update, there were 4 maps v.i.z Erangel, Sanhok, Miramar and Vikendi but PUBG Corp is developing a new map Venezia inspired from Venice, Italy. Along with the map, 3 vehicles and 4 new weapons will also be available in this update.





Developer : 


                    Venezia is designed and developed by James Coreman, an employee of PUBG Corp,  the same man who designed the Sanhok map. Venezia will come in a size of 4×4 km. It is said that it will include the area between Georgopol, Pochinki, and Primorsk.


Inspiration : 


                       As already mentioned Venezia has been inspired by a city in Italy called Venice. Venice is a city in Italy having more than 100 small islands. This city is well-known for its large number of canals, bridges and small islands.

     
                       Venezia is fully inspired by this city. Thus Venezia will mostly contain water all over the island. This shows that this map will be very challenging and tough to play.

Vehicles : 

  •          In this map, 3 more vehicles will be available. They are-

  •  1. Aquarail
  •  2. Bicycle
  •  3. Vespa

Weapons : 

  • Venezia will contain the following 4 new weapons-

  • 1. Beretta ARX 160: It is an assault rifle that will require 5.56 mm ammo.

  • 2. Benelli M4: It has been a high time since a new shotgun has been added. Venezia will feature this shotgun.

  • 3. HK-911: As the map, Venezia is mostly covered with water so PUBG introduced this underwater pistol. Yeah you heard it right it is a pistol that can fire underwater also which requires 7.62 mm ammo

  • 4. C4 Explosive charge: It is not a gun but an explosive basically. One can attach it anywhere on the wall or objects or one can throw it also. It can be obtained by creates only.
Release date : 

             Though the date of release hasn't been officially declared, it is reported to come in 0.13 global version. And the expected date to release is 20-25 April 2019.
