Fortnite Droid Tycoon B-8 Event

So, I suspect, and hope, that this is just going to become a regular rotating event, especially since the Droid Dex now lists a Mister Bones Mythic as well. Basically, every few hours, there is "some kind of event". Because if not, its been horribly done. So, Droid Tycoon is well, a tycoon game. You get a level 1 base, you buy money generators (Droids), and upgrade the base over time. There isn't really an end aside from collecting all the Droids, you can't even keep them all, you don't have the space. I've gotten into it enough that I…

Fortnite – Laufey The Final Hour

I'm not sure what makes for a "good choice" for a Fortnite music collaboration, but I can say Laufey feels like a very different choice for sure. Like Metallica, sure, Lady Gaga, ok, sure, she's got that crazy style and all going, Karol G, uh… sure, Gorillaz, absolutely, Sabrina Carpenter, she looks a little confused as to what she is doing but ok, and now, currently, we have Laufey. It's not any sort of knock on Laufey, I actually really like this and her bouncy jazzy music is pretty good, but it's also, kind of funny that she has skins…

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1

In  classic fashion, I've done my 1 month subscription to Fortnite Crew.  That is, it ends on the 27th,, and I'll maybe resubscribe in  January sometime for another month.  Generally speaking, this works out to a crazy good value.  I'd already unlocked the previous pass items for The Simpsons and the weird Fortnite themed Music pass.  So I instantly unlock all of that, and everything rolls over the next day, and I get a month to unlock the next batch, which I've mostly done. I thought it might be fun to run through what's going on this round.  Its also…

Fortnite Daft Punk Experience

Fortnite is so hit and miss with its special music events, which is extremely annoying because when they are good, they are really good, when they are bad, they are, really really bad. Daft Punk, thankfully, lands into the good. Unlike some of the previous music experiences, this is a sort of lobby area, with a few branch off spaces and activities. The core map starts off similar to the older style, where you travel along a sort of, on rails experience, while music plays to the visuals. Its very very on rails, your character pretty much just, flies along…

The Harris/Walz Campaign Fortnite Map

In case you didn't catch the news, and it feels like it wasn't exactly, "big news", the Harris/Walz campaign has launched a Fortnite map as part of their effort to promote the Presidential campaign.  This was met with many people asking why they would try to market to a bunch of kids, which was met with the appropriate response that, there are plenty of voting age adults who play Fortnite, and the game is old enough that a lot of people who started as kids, are also old enough to vote. It's still kind of debatable if this map will…
