nyAN CAT
You've either overheard others singing it, saw it yourself, or found yourself humming to the tune for absolutely no reason. it's Nyan Cat. Nyan Cat was originally created as a GIF by 25-year old Christopher Torres. The music was made by vocaloid Hatsune Miku and later on, YouTube user saraj00n posted a video with a combination of bothe the GIF and song. The video went viral very quickly and has seen by over 77 million people. Ever since, many other YouTubers have made parodies, such as Nyan Mario, Tac Nayn (Nyan Cat backwards) and many others. This cute cat farting rainbows is also a very popular meme and has even been created into a 10 hour long YouTube video! To see the video, watch the link below.

The Muppets Movie
The Muppets Movie was a hilarious film based on the original cast of Muppets that was twisted into a movie that would make families everywhere beg for a sequel, even though the movie does not really need one.
The movie is basically about these three people in the picture who go on an adventure (with some help from Kermit the Frog) to get all the Muppet characters back together to make one more show. If you have not seen this movie then you really need to see it because it will make you really fun.
If you have seen the movie, then you totally know what I mean. But I strongly advise you to look up this movie on Netflix or Redbox, make a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the movie. Trust me, you will love this advice. So now the only thing I have left to say is………
PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!

Take Care album Review by breana owens
You all may know about the album that was recently released by the rapper Drake. The title of the album is called Take Care. From all the hype coming from fans for this album, the bar was set very high. Drake had fans from all over the world anticpating for his Sophmore Album. Well im going to break it down ..one song at a time .
1. Over My Dead Body - This song, I really liked . It starts off the album rslow, and calming, almost preparing you for what’s to come. He goes on to say how he killed the game last year. People thought this album wasn’t going to come through, but to him it’s been that way from the beginning, and it seems like he’s still on top despite all the talk.
2. Shot for me- In this song Drake is talking about his old girl being mad at him because her new man doesn’t do it like him. Everything he used to do for his girl back in the day, she is looking for and she really can’t find it. “The way you walk that’s me” . It just has become a habit for her in a way.
3. Headlines- Now most people know this single. This song was a " Club banger:" . All it really talks about is how hes about to stay on top of the game, order some bottles for the team and pour up ! haha. But for the most part, it had a good, uppy beat, and then drake lays it down right. Overall Its just a good song .
4. Crew Love( ft. The Weeknd) - The Weeknd knows how to make a song sound good. He is a very talented producer/ and singer. Drake and The Weeknd, everytime they collab together, you know your going to have a single. I guess that’s why they say “OVOXO your girl at my next show”. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of Drake’s crew, taking $50,000 vacations, and drinking every night because you drink to you accomplishments ?.. Come on now.
5. Take Care ( ft.Rihanna) -
Take Care is a really good song. He features with Rihanna who is from Barbados.I think she gives this song a Carribian feel. I like it too. I think Drake and Rihanna should make some more collabos.Everytime their on a song together, I love it. Take Care just talks about a good relatioinship , and having trust bonds they need to overcome together.
6. Marvins Room -
I’m sure many guys have been in this position where they call up their old girl after a night of partying, because they know they still want her. Its the reminisce track that got you wondering about what could have been. Overall, he delivers well on the track.
7. Buried Alive - ( Kenderick Lamar interlude ) -
Overall this song or interlude has good wordplay. Personally, when I went to the Drake concert he came out and he was amazing. Hes very talented. I give Drake props for putting him on the album. Hes a new vibe.
8. Underground Kings -
From the beginning this song really comes hard. You will start bopping in the first 5 seconds of the track. He mainly talks about how he got to were he is now. He tells you his story.. and at the end he turns it off and talks for a bit. Nice Touch..
9. We'll Be Fine ( ft. Birdman ) -
Drake Murders on the track with the Bass. It goes hard. He rtalks about dealing with jealousy, buying a new condo, and having girls waiting for you.This is a song you could just chill too. I love it. His flow is steady.
10. Make Me Proud ( ft. Nicki Minaj ) -
To me this reminded me of " Fancy " from his last album " So Far Gone" . Its a lady hit. About how theres strong, independent woman out there killing it. Drake is just showing his appreciation for the ladies. " On Nicki's part , I think she did alright. I expected more but It was still good.
11. Lord Knows ( ft. Rick Ross ) -
The first thing you hear in this track, I hear the church like choir in the background. My first thought " This flow about to be crazy" .. and It was. Drake's lyrical flow spilled on the beat. He just owned it. And if you are really, listening to what he says, you will see he is foreal kiling it. For Rick Ross, I think he leaves an "umphh" on the beat. Boss Like.
12. Cameras / Good Ones Go -
Cameras is a slow, chill " rozay sippin " beat. I like Drake's Voice on the beat. It's just reall chill..smooth. What hes saying is that the camera lies sometimes, so it’s good not to believe everything you see..
Good Ones Go, is about having someone, but not realizing what you have until you loose them and there with someone their happy with.
13. Doing It Wrong ( ft. Stevie Wonder ) -
This is deep. There’s so many things going on in this song; the emotions in the lyrics honest and heartfelt. “Cry if you need to, but I can’t stay to watch you, that’s the wrong thing to do.” The hardest thing to do is to walk away from something you know you should walk away from, but the emotions are creating conflict in your mind of what’s right.
14. The Real Her ( ft. Lil Wayne & Andre 3000 )
This song is mad chill. I like Andre 3000's part the most. " Everyone has an addiction, mine happens to be you " Is about the best line in his part. Drake's getting his R&B on , on this track. I like It alot. Its a new feel. Lil Wayne, no words explain. Lil Wayne is just amazing so..
15. HYFR ( ft. Lil Wayne )
I am in love with Drake's new styles.. Ever since there allegations of Drake copying off other peoples flow, Drake has been working to make his flows more diverse. Lil Wayne kills and the chorus is catchy. I domt have alot to say on this song but I like It alot.
16. Look What You've Done -
This song is to his mom I think. Her name is Sandy.. The absence of Drake’s father "Dennis " in his life seems to be a touchy .Overall his flow was good. Aubrey Drake Graham gets away from the persona of Drake and goes back to his roots.
17. Practice -
This song was originally from Juvenile. Its like the same lyrics kind of. He throws his spin on it, and it’s good, but probably more of a female favorite. I wouldn’t skip it for anything. Drake kills on it.
18. The Ride ( ft. The Weeknd)
Interesting beat on this track.. The Weeknd does a good job on the background vocals. Drake just did his thing on the verses and it went pretty well. One line that cracked me up was, "They smiling at ya, it must be happy hour.”
19. The Motto ( ft. Lil Wayne) -
This song is a Favorite for most of us teens. This song just goes !! Drake is just basically saying hes the man.. hes killing the game.. and hes taking over. Lil Wayne just acting crazy like his normal self. The most notable quote us teens say " Oh..My gosh Becky.. look at her butt, Tunechi !! " This song just a hit. Said and Done.
1. Over My Dead Body - This song, I really liked . It starts off the album rslow, and calming, almost preparing you for what’s to come. He goes on to say how he killed the game last year.

Justin Bieber's Haircut is Dangerous?!
It is said by Australian optometrist, Andrew Hogan, in the IBTimes, that Canadian Pop/R-B singer Justin Bieber's famous emo-flap, one large sweeping bang covering one eye, is actually a health hazard. With one eye covered, it prevents that specific eye from developing the necessary pathways to strong vision and could possibly give you a lazy eye.

sneezing panda video
Some of us may have seen the sneezing panda video. Personally, I think it's hilarious. A baby panda doesn't just randomly sneeze that loud that it scares the mother panda bear. That is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Panda's are cute and cuddly. And apparently big sneezers! For all of you viewers out there who have not seen this video, you need to check it out.

The Elder Scolls V: skyrim review
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was developed by Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.
In the game you play a hero who is the prophesied Dragonborn, a warrior with the unique ability to use Dragon Shouts, powerful spells with a variety of effects. Early on in the game your character is attacked by the dragon lord Alduin, a mythical being who is supposed to bring about the destruction of the world. You set out on a quest to stop him, which leads you into some strange situations.
The game takes place in the province of Skyrim, a region of Tamriel located far in the north. The game world is huge, with hundreds of unique locations to discover, ranging from underground dungeons to sprawling cities. That brings me to the next part, the cities. Unlike most roleplaying game cities, Skyrim has large, well thought out cities with multiple characters and quests to do inside.
Onto the quest system, Skyrim has a massive number of quests to do, factions to joins, and dungeons to complete, that you’ll be playing for hours. Not only that, but this game has consequences. For example, if you steal something from an inn, the innkeeper may send assassins to attack you. There are also good consequences, like if you help somebody they may allow you to take things from their homes, or sleep in their beds.
The combat of the game is superb, with a multitude of weapons to use, spells to cast, and strategies to implore. You can strike people with your axes and swords, burn people with fire spells, or use sneak attacks to instantly defeat your foes. This combined with Skyrim’s massive amount of enemies makes for some very unique combat.
Altogether I found The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to be a great game, with so much to do it’s almost overwhelming. I highly recommend this game.

Batman: Arkham City Review
Batman: Arkham City is a game developed by DC Comics, Rocksteady, and Warner Brothers Games.
The main character is Batman, a superhero who uses a variety of gadgets and weapons to defeat his enemies. The game takes place in the fictional city of Gotham City, where a sprawling prison has been built named Arkham City. Batman goes into the prison, where all of the cities’ supervillians have been incarcerated. Inside the city, Batman discovers a conspiracy that includes a majority of the cities’ villains, and he sets out to stop them.
I found this to be a great adventure game, with a gripping storyline and a wide variety of side missions that kept me playing well after I had finished the main storyline. There were also a couple of new gamemodes, which consists of a challenge mode, where you must complete challenges and try to get a high score. The other gamemode allows you to play through an alternate storyline as the game’s other protagonist, Catwoman.
Besides the gameplay, Batman: Arkham City featured a number of minor details that make the game much better. One of these things is the music, which flows very well with what you’re doing ingame, making it seem as though you have your own personal orchestra playing along with you. The other major detail is the graphics, which really focuses on the details, giving every character and location an extra degree of realism.
Now onto one of the game’s biggest features, the combat. This game uses the new Freeflow System, which makes the combat in the game flow, appear much smoother, and altogether appear much more realistic. Another new combat feature is the Combat Gadget System, which allows you to use a wide variety of gadgets and tools in battle to turn the tide in your favor.
Another major combat feature is Predator Mode, which allows you to use stealth to silently take down thugs with firearms. This feature introduces a number of new ways to take down your opponents, including dropping down onto them from the ceiling, knocking them off ledges, and tackling them out of floor grates. I found this to be the most fun of the two ways to take down thugs (the other is direct fighting) as it requires you to think about how to face the challenge ahead of you.
Altogether I found Batman: Arkham City to be a great game that will keep you playing for hours on end. I highly recommend this game.
