The Finals, My Favorite New Game

13 Feb

The Finals is a game in the FPS genre that is absolutely free to play and is a cool new concept in FPS games.

From the publisher:

Viewers at home, here’s the news you’ve been waiting to hear: THE FINALS is accepting new contestants, and that means YOU! That’s right, soon the world could be watching YOU tear apart our newest dynamic arenas and seize everlasting fame!

As you know, THE FINALS is the world’s greatest free-to-play combat game show! Our contestants plug in to our virtual world and join teams in escalating tournaments. They fight it out in our beautifully-rendered arenas based on real-world locations that they can alter, exploit, and even destroy.

Sure, you can aim and shoot, but contestants that add our carefully curated virtual environments to their arsenal are more likely to advance, so do anything you can imagine in the name of victory! Burn arenas to the ground! Send wrecking balls crashing into your opponents! Don’t just pull triggers – pull down buildings!

The Finals is a virtual game show where you as the “contestant” along with your team, take on two other teams in an arena based in futuristic maps.

The goal is to collect coin boxes from vaults, and deposit the cash into a deposit box before the other teams destroy you, or steal your deposit.

You are given several options to build your own “Contestant” and make them your own. You can fully customize your player with various hair colors, clothes and equipment, and even outfit your weapons with stickers and charms! There is an insane amount of customization!

There are also three different weight classes for your Contestant. You can choose from Light, Medium, and Heavy builds each with their own drawbacks and benefits.

Light Contestants

Light contestants have a small amount of HP, move quickly, and are super agile. They have a lighter weapon selection and are best for getting in quickly, damaging enemy players, and getting out. They are typically quick to die when faced with heavier builds.

Medium Contestants

Medium contestants are, as the name implies, perfectly average. Average hp, average movement speed, and middle weight weapons such as assault rifles and heavier shotguns. They can take more damage than a light player and are essential in my opinion to a winning team.

Heavy Contestants

Heavy contestants have a ton of HP, move very slowly, and have access to very heavy weapons such as an RPG  launcher, a powerul machine gun, and ever a sledge hammer! They are great for getting into the thick of combat and being able to withstand multiple enemies firing on them at the same time.

Destructible Environments

The coolest and most interesting thing that brings a new strategy to the FPS genre is that nearly everything in the arenas is destructible.  Think you’re safe because you’re surrounded by concrete walls? Think again! Those walls can be blown apart and suddenly you are completely exposed!

Protecting your cash out from the other team? Don’t be surprised when the floor blows out from under you and the enemy team steals it from you!

Overall I’ve really enjoyed this game, and am still learning how to be “good” at it! But if you’re looking for something different, The Finals is a fresh new take!

It’s been a while friend……………….

Why hello there dear blog!

It’s been quite some time since I last wrote something here about life, love and the pursuit of happiness. I’ve been steadily working on those goals I talked about in one of my previous posts. Mainly the savings, smoking and eating things, since the rest has already kinda worked out and happened for me.

I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a podcast as well, but I still rolling a couple of different ideas around in the old noggin. I’m also considering trying to stream, however I feel like at the moment it would be too loud / disturbing for anyone else in the house trying to sleep.

Anywho that’s about all there is to report at this point in time! Thanks to anyone who reads this little blog of mine! <3

Binlinex.com is Almost Certainly a Scam

6 Feb

If you’re in the crypto space and on TikTok regularly, you may have seen these posts with coupon codes offering free Bitcoin simply for signing up.

As you can see in the TikTok below it shows someone entering a promo code into Binlinex.com and then being rewarded 0.28 BTC which is roughly $8500 CAD. Now ask yourself does this sound too goog to be true? That’s because it is!

I went ahead and signed up so you don’t have to. See below for more.

I created an account, and claimed several of the promo codes.

As you can see from my wallet, I have almost $70K in bitcoin from these promo codes. Now I should be able to withdraw these funds right? Wrong! In order to “Verify” my account, I am required to provide a deposit of nearly $500 in bitcoin. Nothing could possibly go wrong sending $500 in untraceable funds to a new web site that popped up on TikTok today right?

This led me to have a deeper look at this service and domain name.

The domain was registered on February 4th of 2023, yet their web site says they have been in business since 2018?

 

This domain is registered and owned by someone with a Russian email address and a New Jersey address for a company that claims to be based in Australia. Enough red flags for you?

This is almost certainly a SCAM and you should keep your money away from Binlinex.com at all costs. There’s no way any legitimate crypto exchange is giving away $70K to a new user just for depositing $500.

Stay safe out there you guys! There’s scammers everywhere!
