During the time of the Wii U, Nintendo decided to make a new Pokémon game. This wasn't an ordinary Pokémon game but a fighting game that was a collaboration between Nintendo and Bandai. It was called Pokken Tournament. It was first released in 2015 for Japanese arcades, 2016 for the Wii U, and 2017 for the Nintendo Switch. Now I...
Genres: Indie-pop, Indie-rock, Electronica, Indie-folk Release: UK- March 10, 2014 on Deram Records US- April 1, 2014 on Decca Records Last year, I was watching a video on YouTube when I noticed a suggested video with an interesting thumbnail titled “‪Dan Croll‪ - From Nowhere.” I decided that I was bored and clicked on the video.

Over the course of his 12-year long career, the Boy has mastered the art of making pop-rap hits and is arguably one of the figures most responsible for the rise of rap...
Quarantine has freed up time for many people, as most practices, games, meetings, and other events have been canceled or postponed. Of course, with this free time, there's only one thing to do: stream. Users have fled to Hulu, Disney+, YouTube, and a variety of other sites in record numbers to keep themselves entertained.
