My Thoughts On The Final "Super Smash Bros." Direct

As many of you already know, on Tuesday, Dec. 15, Masahiro Sakurai hosted the final "Super Smash Bros." Direct. In this 30-minute-long global broadcast, he gave details regarding newcomer Cloud and revealed new Mii fighter skins. However, these weren't the highlights of this presentation. Sakurai also announced the inclusion of two new fighters.

The first character revealed was Corrin, the main character from "Fire Emblem: Fates."

To be honest, my first reaction when seeing Corrin was one of disappointment. I never really got into the "Fire Emblem" series, so this guy/girl looked like just another Marth/Lucina/Roy to me. However, after watching his gameplay trailer, he does look pretty unique compared to the rest of the "Fire Emblem" cast, with him being able to turn into a dragon and all. As for the second character...

Yes, this is real! No, this isn't a dream or your eyes playing tricks on you! The final character announced for "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS" is Bayo-freakin-netta! She was apparently the number one Smash Ballot vote in Europe and the fifth in the United States (she was most likely outvoted there by Shrek, Cory in the House, Freddy Fazbear, and Home Depot). Words cannot express how much hype I am containing for this DLC. I mean, just look at this gameplay trailer!

This final "Smash Bros." Direct has truly been a bittersweet one. On one hand, there will probably be no more updates to the game. However, we have Corrin and Bayonetta to look forward to. It takes a lot of precious time and resources to create a game as great as this one, so I would like to give a huge "thank you" to Masahiro Sakurai and the "Smash Bros." development team for making this game possible. "Super Smash Bros." was truly a labor of love, and none of it would happen without Sakurai and everyone else on the dev team.

Wait, I think that there's another secret character reveal that I'm forgetting. Oh yeah, now I remember who it was!

Bluckles has been confirmed for Smash! I repeat: BLUCKLES HAS BEEN CONFIRMED FOR SMASH!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
