Internet sleuths, true crime podcasts, and youtube mystery channels at one point in the last couple of years would have talked about the Delphi Murders, or the “Down the hill” case as some call it that occurred in 2017 and shook the pillars of an Indiana community. On February 14th, 2017, Abigail Williams (13) and Liberty German (14) were hiking on and around the abandoned Monon High Bridge that was over Deer Creek, a popular hiking spot. Liberty posted a picture on Snapchat showing Abigail walking on the bridge around 2:07 pm but at 3:15 the girls failed to show up at the meeting place with Liberty’s Father. The families of the two missing teens then searched for a while in the area before calling authorities and reporting the girls missing. The following day around noon, the police found the remains of both Abigail and Liberty on the shore of Deer Creek not far from the bridge Abigail was photographed

Have you ever been interested in trying to build something with your own hands and displaying it, or know someone who likes to tinker, there’s a company you may want to consider for the upcoming holiday season! Meet Mecrob, a company that specializes in making metal puzzle models aimed at adult hobbyists. I’m all about mood lighting so when I saw they had a Cyberpunk Spider Lamp, I had to challenge myself! I want to thank Mecrob for helping to make this review possible! It should be noted that Mecrob’s models have difficulty levels, this lamp is at medium difficulty and the most complex thing I’ve ever put together with my hands was legos, so I’ll admit this was a challenge for me but I got it done! The kit came in a small toolbox that housed all the parts in marked bags along with the instructions. Included in the kit to my surprise were a pair of needle-nosed plyers

Happy Halloween Ghouls and Ghoulettes! When you think of Halloween you don’t see yourself spending time at the beach right? Or at a beach out of time…and space? Well, that’s how I spent my Halloween in Broken Pieces. I want to give thanks to Elseware Experience and Freedom Games for the reviewing opportunity. Broken Pieces takes place on the seaside of France in 1993 where players take on the role of Elise, a woman searching for her missing fiance as the world seems to be outside of time and the village she’s in is devoid of life as an event took place resulting in the population going missing and supernatural threats stalk the streets. Now onto the game itself! When it comes to the controls, Broken Pieces thankfully has a tutorial system but the more I played it, it became evident that the game is more suited for mouse and keyboard which makes some interactions and movements awkward. The game’s

Fans of the Call of Duty game series were either dreading or looking forward to the latest installment in the franchise, the remake of the 2009 Modern Warfare 2. I’ll admit it’s been a LONG time since I’ve played COD, the last being Black Ops 3, which made me put the controller down on the series as I felt the series was focusing more on online multiplayer fanservicing than single-player campaigns. So, has the series redeemed itself in my eyes? Let’s check out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. I would like to thank Infinity Ward and Treyarch for the reviewing opportunity. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II picks up where the 2019 game left off and follows Taskforce 141, a multi-national special operations group made up of the SAS, CIA, Mexican Special Forces, Russian and American PMCs, and freedom fighters from the fictional country of Urzikstan. 141 is up against an Iranian Quds Force Major seeking vengeance for the
