In August, Moose Knuckles released its ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ campaign for Fall/Winter starring Dennis Rodman. The campaign brings to life the seven deadly sins; pride, wrath, envy, indolence, gourmand, greed, and lust. Each sin, with an influencer at the helm, is personified.

Crawley has had her hands in multiple fashion campaigns as well as the founder of her popular brand, KNC Beauty. “I loved that this shoot was a collaboration with the brand. We were able to put together a dream team of people I’ve wanted to work with,” Crawley told ESSENCE.

The capsule collection features a range of puffers, parkas, crewnecks, and tees in exclusive colorways. “We are thrilled to have a woman like Kristen Noel Crawley star in our campaign.

NINTENDO Teases ‘Gigantamaxing’ for POKÉMON

https://nerdist.com/article/nintendo-gigantamaxing-pokemon-sword-shield/

What’s the only thing better than watching a couple of Pokémon throw down at the gym? Watching a couple of GIGANTAMAXED Pokémon throw down at the gym. That word doesn’t really need to be capitalized or italicized, but watch the teaser clip below of Pokémon being Gigantamaxed in the upcoming Pokémon Sword and Shield Nintendo Switch game and you’ll see why it seemed necessary.



If you haven’t heard of Pokémon Sword and Shield, first of all, is the rent reasonable underneath your rock (asking for Millennials)? Second of all, it’s one of the most highly anticipated games coming to the Nintendo Switch, and stands as the first main series game in the eighth generation of the Pokémon franchise. The game will also mark the first time introduction of new features, including Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing.

According to the Bulbapedia, Dynamaxing is “a temporary transformation affecting Pokémon…” that increases a Pokémon’s size drastically, changes its moves, and increases its stats in battle. It’s important to know what Dynamaxing is; because Gigantamaxing is a kind of Dynamax, which also increases a Pokémon’s size and stats in battle. The difference between Gigantamaxing and Dynamaxing is that Gigantamaxing changes the appearance of a given Pokémon, while Dynamaxing doesn’t. Also, only certain, rare, individual Pokémon are capable of Gigantamaxing.

Speaking of which, the Bulbapedia mentions that Pokémon who can Gigantamax are usually caught in Max Raid Battles, or are distributed via events. Players can also obtain Pikachu and Eevee, who are both capable of Gigantamaxing, if they has saved data from Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu! or Let’s Go, Eevee! (Saved data from the respective games net you the respective Pokémon.)

As far as the actual Gigantamax moves are concerned, these seem absolutely devastating. And also kind of hilarious. Pikachu’s Gigantamax move, for example, is “G-Max Volt Crash”; Eevee’s is “G-Max Cuddle”; and Meowth’s is “G-Max Gold Rush.” Gigantamaxable Meowth is also apparently an “Exclusive Early Purchase Bonus,” which is something to keep in mind if you want access to a gargantuan cat-hot-dog creature.

Here's what Gigantamaxing looks like in Pokémon Sword and Shield for the Nintendo Switch

Pokémon Sword and Shield is set to be released on November 15 of this year and will take place in the Great Britain-inspired Galar region, which is a large, narrow expanse of land in the Pokémon world.

What do you think of this teaser clip of Pokémon getting all GIGANTAMAXED? Is this pumping you up for the Nintendo Switch game? Or do you think the game’s creators should’ve stopped at Dynamaxing? Let us know your opinions in the comments!

My Hero Academia Recap: “The Scoop on U.A. Class 1-A”

https://blacknerdproblems.com/my-hero-academia-recap-the-scoop-on-u-a-class-1-a/

Season: 4 / Episode: 1

There’s something to be said for how My Hero Academia handles it’s welcome back / season premiere episodes. I always thought that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood does it the best, but MHA handles the re-introduction in a way that is satisfying, when you have no expectation of the story moving forward.

Admittedly, there’s a lot to digest from the end of season 3. First and foremost is the retirement of All Might and everyone with a TV witnessing that the symbol of peace is abruptly cut short. His withering body on that night is similar to the general sentiment of the public. If the greatest hero ever has had the fight go out of them, then what comes next?

Someone looking to answer that very specifically is investigative reporter Tokuda, who gains access to the school hoping to discover who, if any, All Might has determined as a successor. This provides a good opportunity to recap what we know so far, but mostly to re-acquaint us with the young heroes of Class 1A, quirks and all. Bakugo still pissed off for no good reason. Minoru still a proto-pervert. Deku back doing drills in the yard, with the off-season workout trapezoids muscles poppin’ off. Everything is where it should be.

There isn’t a lot of drama in the investigation as Tokuda suspects Midori from the beginning and confirms as much in their first conversation. What is at the heart of this show and is on display even in basically a recap episode, is how endearing the characters are with one another. Tonado will do most things for a scoop, but his personal connection to All Might (watching his father be saved) has led him to find the successor for his own source of hope and not necessarily for a good story.

This is another re-inforcement that Deku is the future and that secret likely won’t stay a secret for long. But this season may signal that Deku is ready to embrace and actually surpass All Might at some point. With a new threat looming, only time will tell.
