Bet you didn’t expect to see Halo on Sports Center’s Facebook page, but here it is. Maybe they’re super bored with the lack of sports going on thanks to the you know what. Either way, when we were browsing FB for some sports, whatever there is these days, they had this Halo clip and I got all excited. The video is titled “Throwback Halo snipe clip” and it features the map Hang’em High from Halo CE. At first glance, you might not notice the first move the player makes because you’re looking in the distance to see who gets sniped.…

Everyone is having a good time, trying to win the latest round of whatever game you’re in. You’re finally using those new headphones and trying to hear if anyone is creeping around the corner on you. But your teammates. They. Are. Like. This.

If you were looking for the “Where is Xur” page on Facebook, but couldn’t find it, then let me explain why. Over the years we started playing some other games like Call of Duty, Halo, Battlefield, and anything we can do to stop ourselves from playing Fortnite (because we stink at it). So now we’re changing names to TrendingViews which is an old website name I’ve had for 10+ years. I asked a few gamer friends what they thought and they loved it. We’re going to focus on all sorts of console games, a little bit of technology, and even…

A video showing what appears to be Tom Cruise in a campaign video, running across a desert and listing a lot of his movies is making rounds on social media and now people think he’s running for president. The video in question really does look like Tom Cruise, but it’s actually a comedian/impersonator named Miles Fisher, who made the video as a comedy short. To be fair, they did a very good job of making this video very believable. However, Tom Cruise is officially NOT running for president. “This video does not feature the real Tom Cruise, nor is it…

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s update causes an uproar after patch 1.23.0 turns out to be bigger than a lot of people’s personal computer hard drives.  Before, ByBerry reported on the 84GB update file that had Activision start an investigation. Now, with Modern Warfare’s patch 1.23.0, it is obviously intended to be that way. The 84GB update is small compared to the update now. Yes, Modern Warfare’s patch 1.23.0 is 200GB. That’s bigger than some computer hard drives. Not only that, but the uncompressed update file will not even fit a 25- GB SSD.   Under Reddit’s r/pcgaming, vanillaricethrowaway posted a screenshot of…

On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” “2020 Politics War Room,” co-host James Carville repeats his prediction last week and delves on it. His theory? President Donald Trump could drop out of the presidential race before November.  In the article by MarketWatch, the Democratic strategist suggested that Republican senators will try to distance themselves from the current president this fall. The senators he stated included Mitch McConnell (R-Ky), Matha McSally (R-Ariz), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Dan Sullivan (R-Ark.) In a sarcastic note, Carville proclaimed, “This is the great ‘Moscow Mitch’ strategy. ‘After Labor Day,’ we’re going to turn on him.’ That’s really going to…

This Wednesday, Senate Democrats presented a proposal to extend the enhanced unemployment benefits. This action plan will occur until a drop in a state-s unemployment rate happens when it would phase out.  In the news article by CNBC, Congress approved the additional $600 per week in federal unemployment insurance last March. The addition is on top of what the state will most likely provide. This addition is a part of the $2 trillion pandemic rescue package. Millions of workers who lost their jobs received money through the policy. However, the policy will expire at the end of the month as the…

Amy McGrath took over the Democratic Senate primary fight in Kentucky.  The former Marine was able to beat state Rep. Charles Booker, though it wasn’t a landslide victory. Part of her victory was due to the flood of absentee ballots. Thousands of votes were mailed after Booker led the polls.  The New York Post reports Booker’s rise and a worthy opponent against McGrath. Booker’s popularity rose after he became a part of the rally during the Black Lives Matter campaign. McGrath did not actively participate in the protests, citing the current pandemic. This, in turn, affected her campaign.  McGrath, however, does have…

Destiny 2’s latest updates have these swords are outta control (in a good way) and ridiculous in terms of power (and I love every minute of it). Lots of other updates are in place as we dive into the dark, but the swords stand out and Falling Guillotine is just so darn good. Temptation’s Hook is solid too, and looks funky, but we’ve got Dark Drinker 2.0 on our hands and we can’t put it down. The two new swords will both be acquired from this season’s Umbral Engrams, and Big Purple can also be attained by progressing through your…
