BattleBots S07 E03: Predictions

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

So last week I was very bad at my predictions but hey Sawblaze won so that’s all I need to be happy.

Death Roll vs. Cobalt

Not sure which one since they’re both vertical disc spinners but for some reason, I want to say Cobalt.

Ominous vs. Claw Viper

I’ve got to say Ominous will win this one.

Copperhead vs. Bloodsport

Oh man, this is a tough one since they both are very destructive but I’m going to say Bloodsport.

Lock-Jaw vs. Malice

I think I have to choose Malice in this fight.

Lucky vs. Triton

Triton looks really interesting so I’m going to root for them in this fight.

Skorpios vs. Jackpot

I love hammer saws but Jackpot is very strong so sadly I think Jackpot will win.

Hydra vs. Rotator

I could see Rotator winning but since Hydra is in my top 5 fav bots I have to pick them as the winner.

Hopefully, I chose winners better this time to make up for last week.

Building Sets Review

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

So for Christmas, I got 3 different types of building kits so I thought I’d review all 3 and rank them.

#3

I have to give the spot at the bottom to the UGears set. While I was happy with the end result and would possibly do another set like it the actual building was horrible. There were a few times I just wanted to smash it because I was getting super frustrated. All of that is definitely because of the material, not only was it hard to push it into its slot I also always felt like something was going to break. Which I did end up breaking one piece(luckily it was one of like 2 pieces that had a spare) because I thought I fucked something up because it wasn’t spinning. The one positive is that its directions were pretty understandable.

#2

The second spot goes to this metal scorpion set from a company called Gonmoso(I think). I really liked this one because it is super unique, instead of the thin sheets of metal sets you can get everywhere this one is thick pieces of metal and you use tiny screws to put it together. Where the UGears set was annoyingly difficult this one was a fun type of difficult. The only problem this one had was that its directions weren’t the best. There were some parts where the pictures weren’t very clear, the order of the directions would have been better if the were switched, and there was one section were you had to infer that you use certain pieces instead of it just telling you. But if I was able to find another set like this I would 100% do another one.

#1

And of course, the #1 spot goes to the Lego set! I don’t really need to explain why this one gets the top spot since if you know you know but for those who don’t here’s why. First, the material is perfect, it isn’t hard to put together and it’s also very easy to take apart. Second, the directions are perfect they’re extremely easy to understand and the pictures are very clear. So in my eyes, Lego sets are the GOAT of all building sets so obviously it’s the best one.

BattleBots S07 E02: Predictions

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

So, last week I got 4 out of 7 fights correct so not too bad but let’s see if I get more right tonight.

Hypershock Vs. Sawblaze

Since Sawblaze is my all-time favorite bot I of course have to say Sawblaze will win.

Fusion Vs. Emulsifier

I’m not sure about this one, I don’t really know anything about Emulsifier but Fusion doesn’t have the best track record so far so I have a feeling Emulsifier will win.

Mammoth Vs. Valkyrie

This is another difficult choice since I could reasonably see either one win but my gut is saying Valkyrie will win.

Madcatter Vs. Whiplash

Whiplash is my second favorite bot so obviously, I’m going to say they will win.

Banshee Vs. Switchback

Switchback’s another bot with and iffy track record so I’ve got to give this one to Banshee.

Hijinx Vs. Big Dill

Not sure why but I feel like if Big Dill is quick they could win this one.

Blip Vs. Endgame

I know Endgame is really good but so is the team that made Blip so I’m going to say Blip will win.

As always let’s how many I get this week.

BattleBots S07 E01: Predictions

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

It’s Robot Fightin’ Time! So here are my predictions for tonight’s episode.

Witch Doctor vs. Ribbot

With these types of fights with two bots that are pretty equal, I always have to go for the bot with less vulnerable wheels so Witch Doctor.

Captain Shrederator vs. Quantum

I got to say Quantum will win this one if they can get a good grip.

Gruff vs. RIPperoni

I’m not sure about this one since I don’t know anything about Ripperoni but I think Gruff’s tried and ture durability will win this one.

Shatter! vs. Huge

On one hand, I want Shatter to win this one since I like it but on the other hand, I think it would be hard for them to beat Huge. But low to the ground bots have beaten Huge before so there is some hope.

Glitch vs. Riptide

I think Glitch’s low ground will get them the win in this fight.

Gigabyte vs. Free Shipping

Once again I think Free Shipping’s low ground will help them beat Gigabyte.

Minotaur vs. Tantrum

This is a tough one but I feel like Tantrum will win this one.

As always let’s see how many I get right.

UK Trip Highlights!

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

Over Christmas, I went on a vacation with some of my family to the UK. We went to Edinburgh, London, and we even went to Loch Ness but the true highlight for me was going to Richmond. I loved Edinburgh for all of the Harry Potter stuff but having the combination of both Ted Lasso and The Sandman filming locations practically 10 ft from each other was amazing.

  • Not actually in Richmond but still AFC Richmond’s Stadium!
  • I can practically see Lasso and Beard standing right there!
  • Awesome pub!
  • Love that the pub loves Ted Lasso too!
  • Ted’s apartments right down there.
  • Sandman bench! Sandman bench!
  • I can just picture Dream walking down this alleyway.

I love being in filming locations because I can just picture the scenes going on in my head while walking around. Two things that definitely stuck in my head were the relief the pub wasn’t shying away from being the Ted Lasso pub and the Sandman bench. I was relieved because I was afraid that I was going to be that annoying tourist they wanted to ignore but instead it seemed that they were proud of being the pub. I also noticed that they definitely moved the bench for filming the bench scene because we couldn’t get the perfect angle but it was close enough for me.

The Boys: All Q’s and no A’s

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

This is super random, but recently I’ve had all these questions pop into my head about The Boys(the YouTubers not the show), so I thought why not write them down.

  1. Do the boys call each other by their youtube names even when they’re not recording or do they use their real names? Also, do they have them listed in their contacts by their real names or youtube names?
    • With Josh, Eddie, and Mully this question doesn’t really matter for obvious reasons but I’m very curious about Narrator and Juicy.
  2. This might be a stupid question but are all The Boys and The Girls invited to Eddie and Gabby’s wedding?
  3. Is the money that’s made from the youtube channel, merch, Spotify, etc. get split evenly between the boys?
    • I would assume that it’s split evenly because that seems like the easiest way but I’m curious if it’s more complicated than that.
    • I’m also wondering if for the reaction videos they do with each other on their own channels if the guest gets a cut or if it is understood that all of it goes to whoever’s channel the video is on?
  4. Do they have normal sleeping schedules?
    • I can only imagine that their sleeping schedules are fucked up from trying to find the perfect time to record with someone on the other side of the world.

I know most of these aren’t any of my business but hey I can’t really help what questions pop into my head and the curiosity is killing me.

Hope and Predictions for Ted Lasso Season 3

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

I was thinking about this recently so I wanted to share some of what I hope will happen and what I think will happen in season 3 of Ted Lasso.

Hopes

  • Something explaining what Baz, Jeremy, and Paul do for a living that allows them to always be at the pub in the middle of the day.
  • An episode showing what Dani, Colin, and Zoreaux do on their days off (maybe even Richard, Bumbercatch, and Jan Maas).
  • One more scene with Tommy aka Ussie kid.
  • I know a lot of people want Ted and Rebecca together(which I’m fine with if it does happen) but I’d like it better if they stay just close friends since we have so few non-sexual male/female friendships in media I think it’d be a good example to have.
  • And the most important is that I need to know what Coach Beard’s first name is and if Beard is really his last name or is it just a nickname because he has a beard?!?!?!?!?!

Predictions

  • The most obvious is that Richmond will win it all.
  • Roy and Keeley will be broken up at the beginning but will get back together by the end of the show. The classic “if you love something set it free and if it was meant to be it will come back” situation.
  • Nate will have a redemption arc that will include him inevitably failing at being a head coach which will cause him to hit rock bottom and then Ted will help him redeem himself.

Spotify Wrapped Thoughts

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

Yup, I gotta do it too but mostly because it makes me think of so many things.

My first thoughts are on my Top Genres. I can only assume Hamilton counts as Hollywood but besides that, I have no clue how Hollywood is a genre. Also what the fuck is Otacore and Epicore?! I have never heard of those before. My next few thoughts are yup that makes sense except for Lion of Love, I know it comes up in my shuffle a lot but I could have sworn other songs played more than that.

The Lin-Manuel Miranda part alone makes me start to wonder how many decimal places out the % goes? But even more than that I can’t help but wonder if there is one person out there that has it say “You are the Top Listener” and if so how much do you have to be listening to a person or song to be the top listener?

My last thought is that I wonder how much it would change if I had Premium(which I don’t) because without a doubt I would have been listening to more songs if I didn’t have to be stingy with my skips. Because that’s the main reason I only really listened to my liked songs over and over because I knew I wouldn’t need to skip as much since I knew I liked them. I’m also curious if there would be more or less Hamilton since I would then be able to listen to the whole show in order without interruptions?

Basically so many questions and so little answers.

Orlando Trip

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

I just went on a trip to Universal and Epcot and decided to rank all the rides I went on. Starting from least favorite to the best ever! (they were all fun just some were more fun then others)

Soarin’ Around the World

It was a nice, relaxing, and cool ride. I just wish it was a little bit more immersive, it had the smells sure, but I would have liked it if there was more “wind’ at parts or even little spritzes of water at other parts. All in all 5 out of 10.

Spaceship Earth

It would have been a boring ride but I thought the animatronics were pretty cool. So, a 6 out of 10.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends

This was kind of the same as Spaceship Earth except it has that bonus that comes from being connected to Nemo. So a 6.5 out of 10.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure

It was a fun immersive ride I’m just not sure if the long line we waited in was worth it, 7 out of 10.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster

I’ve really enjoyed the Hulk ride in the past but I guess I forgot about the whiplash that knocks my head around so that’s not that good. But it also gets a point for being connected to Marvel so all in all a 7.5 out of 10.

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

I would love to give this ride a perfect score but it tends to make me nauseous if I’m not prepared for it so I have to give it a 7.7 out of 10.

Revenge of the Mummy

A nice indoor roller coaster that doesn’t make me nauseous but some moments that kind of ruin the momentum. So an 8 out of 10.

VelociCoaster

An awesome roller coaster that’s nonstop thrills and the bonus points for not making me nauseous or hurting my head! 8.5 out of 10.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

Same as the VelociCoaster but inside. For some reason I really like indoor coasters, the darkness just makes the ride that much better. So it gets a 9 out of 10.

Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure

This ride is by far my favorite roller coaster of all time! I sat on the bike side and the whole time I leaned forward holding the handlebars and vroom vroomed by way to ecstasy. 10 out of 10! (if we didn’t have a whole park to do I would have done it again.)

Don’t Give up on the Dark Universe!

Posted on by kimberlyheskett

So, for some reason recently I started thinking about one of the greatest cinematic universes that never was. That’s right Universals’ Dark Universe. Reminder before I continue for those of you who never knew or forgot about it, the Dark Universe was going to be a cinematic universe starring classic monster movie monsters. I was extremely hyped for it, especially after Dracula Untold. First of all, I love vampire movies and Dracula Untold might be one of my favorites so I was super excited to see more of Luke Evans as Vlad. And as you might have guessed I was immensely disappointed when they scraped the plans.

Now, I understand that The Mummy was a failure (Tom Cruise’s not the perfection that was Brendan Fraser’s) but just because you stumble doesn’t mean you give up altogether. You know you got to get back on the horse. Try Try again. The third time’s the charm. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. And any other saying you can think of. Basically just because the one movie was pretty shit doesn’t mean you give up on the whole thing. Like just look at Marvel, The Incredible Hulk didn’t do too well but that didn’t stop them in their tracks did it? No, they ignored its existence and practically erased it from the cannon but they kept chugging along, and thus created what I would consider the best cinematic universe.

All of this is to say that I really really really really want Universal to bring back the Dark Universe. I would absolutely love to have an MCU-style movie series with Dracula, Wolfman, Mummy, Frankensteins Monster, and others fighting like the actual Devil or something like that. It would be amazing and if you disagree you’re crazy. So, once again just want to say “I wish, I wish with all my heart that Universal changes its mind and brings back the Dark Universe”.
