Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

  So a few days ago I went out to pick up my Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Collectors Edition and from then on I have not been able to put the game down! Almost 50 hours into the game and still I am barely at caravan rank 9 quests! Not even G rank yet and the monsters have spiked in difficulty which is a good thing! Most people are using MH4U as their first step into the Monster Hunter universe and some are still on the ropes about whether or not they should get into the game and some are wondering how do people play Monster Hunter! Well if you must know...look at the image below! :)

  With that I basically sum up why you should get into the game NOW! Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate does a great job of easing a new player into the game by helping them understand certain mechanics such as combinations,carving,making well done steak,and creating armors and weapons! As well as having notes on each weapons different combos that are really useful for anyone trying out the two new weapon types: Charge Blade and Insect Glaive!

  Not to mention that this game also has something the previous game did not...ONLINE PLAY! I personally have not experienced any lag while playing online and I have only heard of people experiencing latency issues through local play which is strange! This means that quests you can't solo on offline mode can be done with friends or random players simply by joining an open gathering hall!

 A new mechanic has also been added called mounting which allows a player to well...mount...a monster! You do this by jumping off ledges and attacking it! If you knock it over you may mount it automatically and begin a mini game that has you stabbing at it and then holding on for dear life as the monster begins to try to shake you off! This being said I believe any beginners and new players to mounting should see this video for educational purposes!

  Now that that is out of the way I would also like to say that MH4U has sold 3 MILLION copies in EU and NA and that means that you will always have someone to join or join you online! Pretty handy if you are stuck on a certain quest or just want to farm a certain quest with a group to make things easier! Everyone likes easy...sometimes!

  Also for people that like to have a variety of monsters to hunt you'll be happy to know that MH4U has a total of 98 monsters for you to stab,bash,shoot,slice,mount,trap,and explode! This is by far the most from the previous games and 23 of those are SMALL monsters meaning that 75 are all large wyverns or elder dragons! Interesting huh?

  That guy above is a freaking HUGE monster you will eventually hunt! So...yeah you will have to deal with some insanely big monsters! Which is nice from time to time eh? :D

  The controls for this game are pretty nice and with the circle pad pro controlling the camera is simple. For melee fighters you can usually live without the circle pad pro but ranged classes will find that moving the camera around to aim and such is a bit of a hassle without it!

  One last thing I would like to cover are the felynes or "Palicoes" that follow you around! So far you can have a maximum of 30(with island extension) and can have 2 following you,your main palico and your secondary one! They can heal you,set bombs around the wyvern,attack,steal the wyverns stamina,and even steal items from it! Add onto that the fact that they each get their own sets to give them attack and defense boosts as well as them leveling up to get stronger AND being able to do a combo attack where they team up to do some amazing things such as summoning a tank to blast at the monster or playing horns together to heal you and boost your stamina and health up! They are life savers and play better than the shakalakas from MH3U! CAT LOVERS THIS IS FOR YOU!

Yes they will also have costumes from different games. Currently announced are: Sonic,Dante,Mario,Luigi,Megaman,and there will probably be way more! So for anyone looking to do some pet leveling in game this will probably get your interest! I highly recommend new and returning players to get this game as I GUARANTEE you will enjoy it! The demo should still be on the nintendo store so feel free to check that out if you are still unsure! :)

Lost Ark upcoming MMO looks delicious!

  It's been a while since an mmo caught my attention like Lost Ark did! This game looks beautiful both in terms of graphics and gameplay! There are seven classes on this video and still there are eleven more classes under development! 

                                     

  Amazing isn't it?! This just looks like it destroyed Lineage Eternal which is another mmo in the works with a similar top down view! This may just be the game I've been waiting for and may keep me entertained longer than Diablo 3 or even Path of Exile has! How many of you are looking forward to this amazing looking mmo? What class will you be playing when it does release? :)

Grand Fantasia Revisited!

  So after going on hiatus yet again from this game I have discovered that it has continued to live on in my absence! Usually most games I try to revisit get shutdown but not this one! It has however had a server merge and only has one server now. The prices for some of the more necessary cash shop items has gone through the roof and some of the players are complaining that the prices are way too expensive! I agree but that is what happens when two servers merge! The thing to notice though is that the population is more decent than it was before. More players are running around doing their quests and things of that nature while others are simply talking in the center of Kaslow and other cities! This is a plus considering it may be easier to find groups to do dungeons with!

 Aside from the server merge the level cap has increased to 100 and there have been new class advancements added as well as new equipment and the usual cash shop items! Recently a mentor and apprentice system has been added and,although useless,it does provide apprentices with a decent exp and drop boost if in a party with the master! This may(but probably won't) encourage veteran players to assist the lowbies in leveling and getting the hang of the game! Check out more info on this forum post: Master and Apprentice FAQ

  Nothing else has changed though. PvP is still dominated by players covered in +14-+20 equipment,finding a group is not as bad but still a pain,and they seem to focus on cash shop events with the exception of a loyalty reward for players that do not buy cash shop items. This game is still fun for players that just want something to kill time and the sprite crafting system is really cool and not as time consuming as most other games where you have to actually craft items yourself and get the mats. Being a lazy crafter has its perks! :D

Alien Queen Slain and Beheaded!

Alright so as you can see by the video above I have been given the luxury of owning an Alien Queen head! No I didn't actually slay the creature....I wish though! I am starting to collect mask pieces from cosplayers around here that need to make room for more of their recent cosplays! Which is fine because my room is kinda sorta empty minus a few accessories here and there! Right now I'm just waiting for this blasted rain to cease so I can go out back and start nailing the alien queen and Majoras Mask to a wall or door...or something! Peace out peeps! :)

Logitech G600 Gaming Mouse

Alright so I know I didn't really talk much about the Logitech G600 Gaming Mouse but I will write a short and sweet review for any of those people who want more...specifics! Mind you this is my first gaming mouse but since I have never used one before I can give a more honest opinion over how it is for newbies.

• Has 20 buttons total! Three more than the Razer Naga
• Easy to use software that allows the change of colors,and keybinds
• Looks cool
• Less grooves than any other mouse which makes for easy maintenance especially for those with sweaty hands
• Like the above the material seems to keep it relatively clean of any sweat gunk
• Easy to use for people with small hands(like me)
• DPI can be changed using the logitech software
• Software also allows for binding multiple keystrokes to one button
• Software allows for the use of macros if you're into that
• Apparently the software is easier to use than the razer software?
• Has more weight to it than most gaming mice and but it's expected what with all the buttons and the LEDs
• Thumb buttons don't heat up like they do on other gaming mice

And I'm done.

Lionheart Tactics: A nice turn based game!

 Lionheart Tactics is a game that reminds me of the days that I would spend countless hours playing Final Fantasy Tactics! The same thing applies here as it did then! You control your main character and adventure across the land and on your adventures you gather more heroes to aid you in your quest against the forces of evil! Except Lionheart brings a few things to the table that FFT didn't! To those that have played Final Fantasy Tactics you will spot the differences! To those that haven't...well..you will still be satisfied with this game!

  The game starts off with a brief story introducing us to the hero! Yes you are a king! Then quickly afterwards you are met with a monster breaking into your room and trying to off you! The game gives you a run of the basics such as movement,skill use,and attacking! After defeating the monster you get introduced to one of the many heroes that will be accompanying you on your adventures! As you progress in the game more is revealed to you!

  One of these is how much of a pain an enemy healer is! But that's normal for almost any game. Another is that you can use a Gaea Break attack once it is fully charged up! This devastating attack hits hard and it might even do more but I haven't used it on my other characters! Not only that but you also start to see that your characters basic forms aren't permanent! Once you are done with the tutorial you are allowed to explore the other options of the game one of them being the hero panel that allows you to equip items to heroes,train them so they learn new skills,and even PROMOTE them to different ranks! Amazing right? You do need to collect certain items and similar to the way you would promote classes in Fire Emblem games...meaning you need to collect the appropriate stones for each individual class! You can also sacrifice units to buff up another unit! Cool huh?

 Besides that you are also allowed to take part in arena player versus player content! Which is separated into different leagues! Bronze,silver,gold and maybe more are available and are unlocked the more you win fights! But be careful! Just like in PvE if your heroes get hurt in PvP you will have to wait for a certain amount of time to get them back to full health or pay a few crowns to get them ready fast! So try not to overdo it!

  The cash shop in this game isn't heavily pay to win. But players who do donate a few bucks will have an edge over others but it's not something you can't overcome if you put the time into it! Gear,heroes of different qualities,and promotion stones are available for the right amount of gold or crowns! So try to save up those crowns until you get your nice hero all decked out and fully promoted! Then you can do whatever with them!

  I am still barely getting into the game but so far it has been an awesome adventure that I will probably regret taking part of at work and school! But that's life right? Thanks for reading this article hopefully you found it somewhat helpful! Be sure to follow us on twitter and to leave a comment using the disqus comment section at the end of the article! Take care fellow gamers! 

Kritika Chaos Unleashed: Better late than never!

                                      

  Ah I remember when my friend told me about this game a few weeks ago! I said "pfft" and didn't bother to even try it out. Something I don't regret mainly because I get to play it anyway! Kritika is a pretty fun action 3d game that makes me feel like I am going on a roid rampage and murdering countless monsters for the glory of upgrading my gear and getting +20 on my new sword! Which amazingly isn't that difficult to do! Kritika has four available classes at the moment with more to be released soon! Berserker and Acrobat are available from the start with Dark Valkyrie and Shadow Mage unlocking at level 15 and level 20. Gold and karats do pass between each character so you can farm gold and karats on one and transfer them over the the others!

  Now before I dive into the rest of the game let me explain a few things that are blocked out in this screenshot above! As you can see you get the usual stage mode for questing and getting experience and some gold and items! But you will notice two other chained up options! One is the survival mode which allows you to take part in monster wave at different levels. Monster wave is one of the main ways that you will be earning money and has an auto fight option enabled so you can just select it and be lazy while watching your favorite anime or movies! The other is called the Tower of Tribulation and is more about seeing how far you get! The third window is a PvP window that gives three options! Arena,Versus,and Melee! Each of these modes including survival will give you an appropriate rank and will reap you rewards such as gold and karats! So try your best to get to the top! Quests are unlocked at level 9 which reset daily! Upon completing these daily quests you will earn various rewards as well as 20 karats! Nice huh? Sockets help with boosting your character through different gemstones that give stat boosts like attack,defense,health,mana,and so on! 

  When you unlock the treasure option you will be able to use different keys to unlock different types of chests ranging from bronze to gold quality! Obviously the higher the quality the higher the chance of you getting awesome items! Crafting allows you to well...craft accessories,weapons,and armor using shards that you will get from the different modes except pvp! And enhancing...well...I don't think I have to go into detail there do I? Only thing you need to know is you can reroll affixes to get better stats,inherit and items upgrade level to another that is +4 and equal rarity and to reroll the affixes bonus!      

  Combat wise it is an action game at heart! With a joypad showing up on screen when you touch it to the skill and attack buttons on the right! Chaining skills together and mobbing up monsters leads to some pretty awesome effects and the faster you clear the dungeon the greater your rank at the end! Skills can be leveled and you also get passive skills to further boost your destructive power! They cost gold to upgrade and karats if you want to learn the next level without the wait but you will be fine with just gold! At the end of each dungeon is a boss that you have to kill of course! And trust me killing them...is fun! As you can see in the screenshots below! The one thing I didn't like is the damn treasure boxes! They always show the item I want somewhere else and even if I try again I get crap! But that's just my luck...

  I did talk a bit about the PvP and so far have only been able to participate in the arena mode but this much is certain! Like any game the quality and fortification of your gear matters! Taking +10 and +5 fortified gear into the fight is better than taking unfortified gear! Getting your equipment upgraded doesn't cost an arm and a leg either! Simply do the monster wave and get the necessary gold then upgrade using the different items you've obtained! I've managed to get up to +10 on my weapon without failing using different grades of items as well as different grades of enhance plans! Each item comes in grey,green,blue,purple,and orange grades so be sure to know what you have! Now back to the PVP! Winning an arena match will earn you 1 karat and a few arena points that when they reach a certain milestone will grant you an item! Also ranking in the arena will net you karats and so far I have 96 karats waiting for me by the end of this week! Maybe more! PvP is automatic or at least the pvp in arena mode! So your character decides when to use the skills it has or when not to! Just hope your character isn't dumb right? :D

Belial: Art of the Devil: I like what I see!!!

  A game influenced by Castlevania Symphony of the Night...now THAT is something that I would love to see! I recently got an e-mail asking if I would like to contribute to this through kickstarter...my answer? HELL YES! From what I read it will be available on the PC(through Steam),iOS,and Android meaning that I can play this at home,at school,and at work! It's not like anything important happens at those locations right? Right! I'm going to be keeping this article short because well to be honest...they basically covered everything on the site! I am hyped though about a few features especially a skill tree based on the unholy trinity...OH THAT IS SO AWESOME! I would love if I could distribute my points where ever I wanted to and mix it up a bit for a few different feel to the game! I'm all for diversity like the original Diablo had! I spent hours working on my necromancer and even though there were a few builds that were more end game centric people could still do well with what they had come up with!

  Another feature is the equipment forging! It's stated on the site that you can dissolve gear into better gear which means I can farm till my eyes bleed and be covered in epic loot! Also the story isn't half bad! It revolves around your main character Belial a half human,half demon being who was abandoned in hell and his throne taken over by Satan! What really caught my interest was who Belials mother is...it's Eve! Since she committed the first sin it would make sense for Belial to have been born shortly after! Although...I am still wondering how that happened? But whatever I'll figure it out when it gets released! There is a subplot as well but I've gone on long enough! Here is a link to the website describing everything in detail from the skills to the story and subplot! There are a few spoilers though but that is fine! I still look forward to owning and playing this game soon! Check it out here!

  After having watched a gameplay video for The World 2 I must say...I AM PUMPED FOR THIS GAME!

How do you feel about private servers?

 
  Private servers for online games have been popping up and even more so as the years have passed! Games like World of Warcraft,Ragnarok Online,MU Online,and many other online games have a large amount of private servers! To those that are not familiar with what a private server is it is basically a copy of the official game with higher experience rates,higher drop rates,higher quest exp,and so on. It also has some custom features such as balancing classes more than the official or making it so you can exchange in game currency for cash shop currency to buy your goods! But that's what it is in a nutshell! What I want to know is...how do you feel about these servers? Do you consider it stealing another person's work? Do you encourage it? Do you play on private servers?

  Personally I don't mind them. Often times I would rather play on a private server than the official one. Mainly because on the official servers I am usually fine with the game...but that cash shop kills it for me! That is the only time I will switch to a private server! The cash shop is fine I get it the game needs money but really? Putting a rare or epic grade weapon in the cash shop for $20? That defeats the purpose of even playing the game in the first place! Might as well just tell me from the start "Pay $50 and get epic grade armor and weapons and a flying mount that farts rainbows and one shots everyone on the map"! That is my only pet peeve with some online games and I've played on private servers that either completely remove that factor or make it so that you get more credits for your dollar! Which is fine since,again,servers aren't cheap!

What's your take on private gaming servers?

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate: Killing time at work!

  Been playing so much with the Sword and Shield's in this game that this weapon of choice has become my actual all time favorite weapon! I recently finished creating all the elemental shield and swords I would need for future use as well as FINALLY finishing the Ancientshard sword and shield...and I must say that she is a true beauty! I also recently went to a local comic book store known as Kaboom Comics and found a few other players to join in this game! So far I am not complaining since now that I have a large group of players I can actually finish most quests with ease! Although they kind of hate me for not dying so much(SKILLZ) I tell them that the more they hunt and get used to a weapon they will be able to dance circles around any monster!

  Right now though I am trying to complete a poison sword called Helt Epee just because it looks awesome and goes with my Gigginox X set! The grind is intense though and I've been farming G-Rank Gigginox for the past three hours and haven't gotten one darn foul venom gland haha! Also have been forgetting to take antidotes(stupid of me) so I suppose it's time for me to get some rest before I start forgetting exactly how to dodge and stuff! Night!

Final Fantasy Appears! Type-0 and XV

   Why would I put these two games in the same article? Well because not only are they both Final Fantasy games but Final Fantasy Type-0 will include a demo of Final Fantasy XV! So that's why! Both these games will be releasing on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One! I've never seen a Square Enix game be released on a console other than Nintendos or Sonys but change is good right?! Both Final Fantasy titles will be fast paced and action packed as well as Type-0 allowing you to switch out with members of Class-0,a group of talented individuals,and XV allowing you to drive cars and go on roadtrips with your buddies! March 17 marks the release of Final Fantasy Type-0 so start saving money to buy it and get your hands on the FFXV demo! I know I will! One of the changes I am most looking forward to in XV is the larger open world! I'm hoping to be able to find a few secret items and maybe even secret bosses littered around certain areas! Since I am going to cut this article short due to not really having that much info on the games expect to be updated if I see any more news! :D

Buff Knight: Simple Yet Addictive!

  No this game is NOT about a knight that is buff! But you can buff up your knight! Doesn't make sense at first but you'll get it as you read on! The story is...well...nothing new. Evil dragon kidnapped a princess and you have to go rescue her...oh did I mention the dragon is RED?! Yeah doesn't really change it up much but whatever! You start off your adventure with no artifacts(explained later on) and crappy gear as well as no money. Again nothing new. Now as you play on you start to notice that the bats hit hard...which shouldn't be a surprise since BATman probably trained them...and that every vase and monster that you kill drops money! Expected but what's it for? You have to die(in game) in order to find out! Also note that you will auto move and deal damage if when you bump into an enemy! The only things you need to worry about are your health and mana as well as using the magic attack when needed! Oh and don't forget to tap on monsters you knock into the air...you deal more damage that way! ;)

The volume bar is NOT part of the game!!!

  Ignoring the volume control...you can see that you have different attributes which you can upgrade using certain gems dropped by monsters and boxes and that stupid angel that you have to click on when it appears! Strength for damage,dexterity for critical chance,intelligence for magic attack,and endurance...for health. Death in this game does not mean the end...it just means you get to upgrade and BUFF up your KNIGHT before trying again! But that's not all you can do with the currency you get! You can also upgrade your gear! Let me show you!

Red is in this season for knight armor!

  As you can see gold can be used to upgrade your gear in two ways. The first being that you can choose to add an option to each individual piece of gear! The options range from increased critical chance to absorbing damage! This makes it more interesting and yes you do have to actually think about which to get! If you upgrade your gear you gain defense and can survive longer but if you do that the options DO NOT pass over! This means you better have enough gold to add another option to it or you will have to hope that the defense increase is enough! The options are also randomized so you might get +20% health once and then the next time get +1% health! It's a gamble and it's addictive! You can also upgrade your gear to another tier which as stated before increases the defense but erases the options! Choose wisely!

  After upgrading your weapons and gear you head back out to kick some bat ass! Only to realize that the monsters have also gotten stronger...well then! This adds to the difficulty level as well as keeping things interesting! The stronger and further you get the stronger the monsters get! Don't worry you obviously get your usual health and mana potions as well as that really awesome magic attack that you can use to kill off difficult monsters! But that's just story mode! That's right...there are TWO MODES! Please...hold your applause!

  Like I said there are two modes! Endless mode is the more...competitive mode! In this mode you just...well...go on endlessly like the name suggests until you meet your inevitable death! The perks of getting into this mode is that you unlock artifacts more often! With a total of 20 artifacts and some that level if you get a duplicate one increasing their effects! This means that even if you die you will get stronger and stronger until you are able to keep up with all the Asians(and possibly weaboos) that have a high score of 500,000,000! I'm still trying but I am about...1/100th of the way there! I suspect if I try hard enough and get enough of those freaking artifacts that I will be able to take over the leader board! Maybe...one day...or year! That being said here are all the artifacts I've collected to date and also a shortcut to getting the game!

Thanks for reading! I hope this helped in some way or another and if you enjoyed it and want to hear more about new/old games I play feel free to bookmark or submit an email to receive updates when a new article is posted! Game on like it's a religion! <3
                                                            

Omega and Alpha: Pokemon Fanboy in Me Says YES!!!

  Are you REGI for this pokemon fans? Yeah I know this is kinda late but still I might as well right about the two games that consumed a large portion of my time as a kid! I spent countless hours on these games getting a complete pokedex and adventuring with my Sceptile throughout the Hoenn region! Everything about these two games made my childhood slightly better although I never really competed with my team I might start now! Besides the onslaught of new megas that we will be receiving as well as the primal devolutions of Kyogre and Groudon this game is going to be a blast and hopefully nothing gets screwed up! I heard that a few of the legendaries from past pokemon games will be appearing so maybe they'll be tied into the story or they might just be there after you beat the pokemon leauge? IDK! But excitement is coursing through my very veins right now! Preordered BOTH copies and I already have all the baby forms of my team that I have used since ruby and sapphire with a few variations!

  My team is going to consist of: Sceptile,Gallade,Bisharp,Umbreon,Snorlax,and Klefki(lvl 1)! Leveling all of these bad boys is gonna be awesome and even though I don't really have much "synergy" with each other I always have made it work in pokemon battles against most trainers! Only time I ever really have problems is with trick room...mainly because I just really am too lazy to figure out how to beat it! xD

  What about you guys? What are you most looking forward in these remakes? What team are you gonna go with and what do you think about the new megas? :o

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate: Who the hell is ready for this?! -raises hand way up high-

  Having played MH3U for a long LONG time I have been waiting for this next game since I completed the Dire Miralis set and haven't really had much incentives to play since not many of my friends do anymore. Yeah this has been out for a while but ever since I saw the trailer showing you could climb on a monsters back and go to town with your weapon just made things even more interesting! They are adding so many mechanics that make the game more challenging as well as giving you an advantage from time to time! The new weapons also look pretty sweet if you ask me! One lets you use an insect as a pet to attack and give boosts or distract the monster and the other just looks like it's going to freaking hurt if you hit anything with it! JUST LOOK AT THEM!

  I am seriously tempted to get the staff just because I want to see how it works and master it...and kill stuff with it of course! I also read somewhere that the insects have a sort of leveling system similar to the weapon upgrading system! From what I know the insect will shoot a pheromone bullet and attack the area where it hit! This is important since different body parts of the monster will give you different essences or buffs. Thankfully you can enter an aim mode and select which specific part you want to attack! Check out the wiki and read about the other mechanics to this weapon! Monster Hunter Wiki

  The charge axe also looks pretty neat and it's similar to the switch axe with the whole phial charging and charge attacks except that instead of switching from axe to a two handed sword it changes to a sword and shield or an axe! Neat huh? These two new weapons add so much more to the original roster than before and I am going to enjoy crafting and gathering all of them! Going to have to put my sword and shield down for now! 

  Oh and another thing that really caught my attention...ONLINE PLAY! This means I no longer have to stare at my friends screw up or face criminal charges if I lose my temper and punch them in the face! I win TWICE! But seriously this is awesome because that means I can tackle challenges with other players at the usual ungodly hours that I am awake and not have to try and solo anything as much! Friends to play with at all times?! ALL TIMES! This makes me happy! :'D

  They are also releasing a few cameos in the game as dlc which is free from what I hear! This is pretty neat because I mean...COME ON! Mario felyne armor and samus armor?! Awesome! There has been a bunch of complaining about this though and I don't see why not. One of the excuses was that it messed with the lore of the game. Okay explain the lore of the pumpkin armor. Did the hunter get high and think pumpkins would make for good protection? No. If you don't like it don't download it. There problem solved! There were other reasons but that one was the one that stood out the most...and didn't really make sense. A recent release...is...SAMUS! A space bounty hunter hunting monsters...and collecting bounties. Now how the hell is that out of place people? Maybe she needs the money! Really now. I am not sure if there will be a male samus suit but if not I am crossing my fingers for...megaman armor! Hey it could happen! 

  And to finish this off the felynes are back in town! Now instead of annoying break dancing midgets we have cats that will probably do a better job not being as useless as the other two. Seriously they would heal me after AFTER I used a potion and was at full health. Well gee thanks...for nothing! Gah I swear sometimes I would smack them around just to make sure they didn't get in my way! Hate them! 

  Sorry about the rant....anyways! Another thing they released which might appeal to some of the more hardcore hunters or collectors out there...is the collectors edition! Some of the things in it aren't really to die for but I want that chest and the freaking figure! Because those two things are to die for! If they included a mh4u limited edition 3dsxl along with the game and all these goodies I would glady pay $200+ to get it all! Because Japan has a limited edition 3dsxl...and we don't! It's not cool yo! Yeah I'm grateful to even be getting this game over here in America but COME ON! Hopefully they release it over here sometime soon...until then...I will just die of envy! ;-;

  That about sums up this article for now! I am really really dying to play this game right now! What about you guys? Anyone care to you know...exchange friend codes and prepare for the future! Just leave a comment with your friend code and I'll reply with mine! Feel free to add each other as well! :D
