Fortnite Storm Surge

Fortnite Storm Surge is one of the most controversial topics in all of Fortnite.... This is mainly due to two occurences/factors: (1) storm surge only occurs in competitive matches where there are too many people in the match and (2) it can be game changing. Because of this, many professional players worry and often get affected by storm surge if they sillily neglect the surge. The idea of storm surge is to prevent players from not engaging in any fights. Without surge, people will just stay in their bases and never fight. Surge activiates when there are too many people in a certain storm zone. If the game is going to have surge in it, on-screen text will notify each player before it is active. If you are below the storm surge amount when storm surge is active you will be hit by a lightning storm that damages 25 hp, until the surge limit of deaths is met. Recently, Kreo, Bucke, Keys, and Slackes all teams up in a duos competition to get free storm surge. They simply shot twice at each other and disengaged. Overall, storm surge is a very controversial matter.

Cotsen

I fell out of the sky. On January 23, 1992. My sister kicked me out, both my parents had died, by what I thought was a car crash. Little did I know, my sister had done it. She had killed my parents. The sky opened, briefly. That's when my sister saw her chance, she pushed me through the ground hard. I popped through. I was getting flowers for her hair, so that when she went to school, she’d look nice. Her name was Rree, I thought it was a pretty name. That name is dead to me now.

….

I thought we were the only Humans, but we weren't, there were others. They thought I was an alien. How stupid’s that? I guess there are other Humans out there, but they aren’t very smart. I am in a foster home. They make me bake for them, they say my food is to die for. Stupid. Why would you die for cake? The truth is, they didn’t have enough money to pay a cook. Again, stupid. Why in the world would you start a foster home, if you don’t have enough food to feed the kids who are there? Stupid, Stupid! My sister, who I loved so much. Betraying me. Unthinkable, right, throwing me through the crack in the ground. Ugh! The ground is now the sky. Stupid. Frozen juice is now “desert.” All so incredibly stupid.

…..

I should create a show, The Stupid Show. I can even have a bunch of stupid people who are the contestants, and some stupid audience members. Maybe a stupid cameraman. That would be so stupid.

….

My sister pushing me through the ground is S- Stupid. T- Totally Stupid. U- Utterly Stupid. P- Probably 100% Stupid. I- Incredibly Stupid. D- Duh, So Stupid. I could sing a song about this.

🎵Oh, guess what is so stupid… my sister pushed me through the ground, through a crack and when I came down… I fell on my crack. So…. Stewww-piidddd!🎵Maybe, I could get rich off this song! Probably not. One thing, my name’s Eve.

Aim Assist

Fortnite has recently removed the old aim assist settings from the game. If you do not know what aim assist is there are several forms of this. Aim assist is for controller players because unlike mouse and keyboard players they only have two plastic joysticks for their movement. Although, keyboard players have always been complaining about aim assist. There is no way controller players would be as successful with out the new aim settings. Unlike the old aim assist settings, the new aim assist does not use the L2 snap-on. Instead, the joystick effectively aims for them. The crosshair does follow the opponent. Some would argue this is even more powerful than the old aim assist. So now I ask you, should aim assist be nerfed??

The Grotto

The Grotto is the most popular mythic landing spot that is overpowered in competitive. There is separation from Public matches (for casual Fortnite players) and competitive loot pools (for professional or aspiring Fortnite players). For instance, Fortnite had been under major critizism for not separating items from competitive games and public games. There used to be no differentiation in weapons and items between public matches and competitive matches. And this made the Fortnite competitive community furious until Fortnite Chapter 2, where they actually took into account what is good weapons for each side of Fortnite. On the other hand, things are a little bit different with the mythic aitems and landing spots on the map. Now, there are five new mythic location on the Fortnite Map this season because of the theme and goal Epic Games has with the season. Now, The Grotto is by far the most unbalanced and broken landing spot. In the location, there is several heavy sniper and rifles available is special loot crates. The "Boss" that owns this place has a large group of Henchmen, and they possess a vault with the best heals and items of all the mythic locations. By the way, the Boss is arguably the most difficult to kill, but the high risk; high reward factor is something Epic Games is promoting a lot. Although, this location/landing-spot has posed several battles between the top players in their respective regions trying to fight for control of The Grotto. Overall, The Grotto is one of the best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2. Thus, if you want to get wondrous loot then loot up at The Grotto.

Fortnite E-Sports Organizations and Teams

The topic of E-Sports is growing over the past couple of years with teams like 100 Thieves, Ghost Gaming, E11, FaZe, and many other established E-Sports teams reaching their funds to invest in growing Fortnite players. Over the past months their has been great news with Fortnite esports. After the official Fortnite World Cup there has been so many more teams investing in Fortnite. Players have been officially signed to play Fortnite professionally for certain teams. When a game consistently hosts Cash Cups and various money-based online public tournaments. This makes competing even funner than usual. Although, there is always drama surrounding the organizations and teams Fortnite players have contracts with. Some top players have left their old teams for better organizations, and others have declared free agency. Many believe this because of the tyranny of many esports organizations. Many have believed players have minimal rights, but it is all how you look at things. Many young players can be taken advantage of with no agent. This is why many professional gamers have their own business agent to help them succeed in their areer. The Fortnite professional competitive player, Liquid Chap, just declared free agency. Thus, he is no longer on Team Liquid. This is peculiar because Team Liquid is one of the biggest Fortnite teams. The only two bigger are 100 Thieves and FaZe Clan. These teams could be a perfect team for Chap. Also, Ghost Bizzle an established Fortnite player has just moved to FaZe Clan for more gaming oppurtunity. Thus, Fortnite has provided the gateway into many successful careers for many esports players around the world.

C.A.B.A.R. Soup

Breakout

I am reading the book "Breakout", by Kate Messner. This book is written from the point of view of a bunch of people from middle school, and one younger boy named Owen. Nora Tucker's dad is the local maximum security prison superintendent. Two inmates have escaped, and there is a manhunt, of 800 officers and volunteers looking for the escaped inmate. The inmates are extremely dangerous, so people in this small town, who don't lock their doors, are now locking and triple checking all locks. The people writing in this book are making written time capsules, so it is formatted in letters, and some people put in text messages, or conversations. I recommend this book to anyone who checks their closet before bed for monsters. Also, I recommend this book to people who like to get to know the characters in a book, and to those people out there who love mystery and comedic books. I hope you decide to read this book!

The mad wolf's Daughter

I read a book called "The Mad Wolf's Daughter" By, Diane Magras. In this book, it proves that some maidens aren't just to be protected. Drest can use a sword, and defend her and her friends. She is on a quest to save her brothers and dad. Her brother and Dad were captured by the Lord. Drest is told to hide, but she comes after her family, and finds a boy named Tig and a soldier named Emerick, little does she know, Emerick is not who she thinks he is! I recommend this book, to people who just sit down and read a 200 page book in an hour. Also, to people who like suspense! I hope you get to read The Mad Wolf's Daughter

Justice

I have recently read Justice, by Jeffrey Salane. In this book, character, M Freeman, is taken under the wings of people who she has known as an enemy almost her whole life. Fulbrights. She trains to be one of them, but is secretly plotting with her friends who are also being trained with these Fulbrights. Jeffery Salane's words are so descriptive, you may just feel like you are there, with M and her crew. I recommend this book to kids from ages 9-12. This book is so good, I could read it again and again.

El Deafo

I have recently read El Deafo, by Cece Bell. In this book, there is a character named Cece who is deaf. She has to carry a big hearing aid around her chest, in order to hear. Cece has trouble making good friend, either they boss Cece around, or they don't understand, how she is deaf. Finally, Cece meets a girl who is a year younger than her that is the perfect friend. She has to get used to people staring at her, in her mind Cece is a superhero, and can defeat all of the villains. I recommend this book, to anyone who has imagined, a different reality. I hope you read El Deafo!
