To celebrate Ferrari’s 90th anniversary, Hublot has released a very special Big Bang Scuderia Ferrari 90th Anniversary watch. This watch is available in three different limited editions, each celebrating the materials used in Ferraris over the years. As for the mechanics of the watch, it uses the UNICO movement and a flyback chronograph with a 72-hour power reserve. Hublot crafted the bezel out of ceramic carbon, just like the brakes on the LaFerrari. The first special edition out of the three was inspired by Scuderia Ferrari’s early days. Just like the classic Ferraris, this watch has a platinum case that resembles the visible metal parts of the original Ferrari. There’s also a perforated leather strap meant to mirror the classic bucket seats. Yellow was chosen as a highlight to evoke the original speedometers. For the second watch in the trio, Hublot used 3d carbon for the case in the same way Scuderia Ferrari does nowadays. Keeping with the modern materials is the … [Read more...] about Hublot Introduces New Watches for Ferrari’s 90th Anniversary
Deadpool is not part of the MCU. Yet
Deadpool is not an Avenger. Yet.Deadpool is not an X-Men (X-Man?).Yet.Deadpool is a mercenary with his own agenda and zero rules. Deadpool is a part of the Marvel comics universe.And even after the huge Disney-Fox deal closed, which has brought many Marvel characters (back) under the umbrella of Marvel Studios, Deadpool in his current on-screen incarnation is *still not connected* to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. None of the X-Men movies are, in fact, because they're part of their own universe. Someday, that may change. Rumors abound right now that Avengers: Endgame could lead into a mutant-filled future, or how the end of the Infinity Saga could lead to the X-Men, or somehow set the entire MCU on a different path. Yet, for now, still, the X-Men mutants and the Avengers do not coexist in the same universe. It's a comic-based world though, and maybe the Quantum Realm will change all that we know about the current MCU timeline. The MCU is now comprised of 21 Marvel … [Read more...] about Deadpool is not part of the MCU. Yet

Fortnite season 8, week 4 challenges and how to get through them quickly
We're now in season 8, week 4 of the Fortnite: battle royale challenges. Most of the quests this week look to be pretty standard, with only a couple that are going to require maps and I've included them below. With the launch of Apex Legends' Battle Pass earlier this week, I was gearing up to write challenges posts for each game, but in Apex Legends, you gain experience simply by playing. For now, it appears Fortnite still outpaces its challengers when it comes to getting players to come back week after week. Regardless of which game you like better, you have to admit that having specific goals to shoot for adds something special to the game. We'll have to see what Apex Legends does in future seasons, but I feel like developers Respawn Entertainent missed a big opportunity there.If you haven't finished last week's challenges, head over to my season 8, week 3 guide.FreeStage 1 of 5: Land at Tilted Towers (0/1)Use the Baller in different matches (0/5)Get an elimination with a scoped … [Read more...] about Fortnite season 8, week 4 challenges and how to get through them quickly
