The game, Truth Bombs, is a board game created by the YouTubers Dan Howell and Phil Lester. Dan and Phil make relatable comedy videos on their channels, they also share a gaming channel. Before the game got released, Phil used it as a icebreaker in awkward situations. With the help of Dan; his roommate and best friend, this icebreaker game came to life. With Phil in charge of the game functions, and Dan in charge of the format and the look of the game all together.
Truth Bombs is played with four to eight players. You give each player an answer sheet. They fill it out by putting their name in the target box at the top of the card. Once you have done that you lay out the color mats with the colors in the order, blue, pink, yellow, green, purple, grey, and then black. Then you place a question card on each color mat. When you play you put one mat short of the amount of players you have. To start the game, you have everyone pass their answer sheet to the left. Look at the target box from the answer sheet you have received after you know who you got you then choose a question to answer about that person. Once you chose a question you fill in your response in the corresponding color the question resides in. Once everyone has written down their answer you pass it on to the left again, and you have a new target and you have to chose a question to answer about that person, but now whoever had the sheet before you has filled in a column and you now have one less question to chose from. The game goes on like this and more and more questions disappear, you will continue to play till the last question is answered. Once all questions are answered your card is returned to you and you read the responses. After reading the responses, you choose your favorite answer and try to guess who came up with it. The person who came up with the response gains a point, but if you guess who came up with it you get a point as well. You are guaranteed to have a tremendous amount of fun. In total, the game is amazing and fun to play. No matter what age, you should definitely consider putting it on your Christmas list. by Rocio Vidanna & Isabel Uribe Hernandez

Netflix holds countless of amazing shows that entertains its users from Stranger Things to RiverDale that are very popular currently. Netflix also holds an amazing Netflix Original Show, Frontier.
Frontier directed by Brad Peyton, casts former Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa, as Declan Harp, a half-Irish-half-Indian outlaw who is wanted in England for causing a threat to the HBC. The show takes place in the late 18th century, where the fur trade to the ‘New World’ has just begun. The series is shown from many perspectives as everyone struggles to fight for wealth and power. The show follows young Irish stowaway Michael Smith as he makes a deal with Lord Benton of the England’s HBC to find Declan Harp’s location, as Lord Benton seems to have a deep obsession with him. But things take a turn when Michael Smith seems to be drawn to Declan Harp and follows him instead. The first season focuses mainly on Michael Smith and his hardships between England and the Indians in Fort James as “betrayal, riches, brutality, and the survival of fittest” takes place. (aceshowbiz) Frontier is an amazing show because it shows a strong female lead, which is not seen in many shows. Tavern owner, Grace Emberly, played by Zoe Boyle uses her tavern as a place to know everything that happens in Fort James. Whatever it is, she will be the first one to find out. She is also a good friend of Declan Harp and both of them seems to share a deep connection. In the series, it shows that she would do what it takes to try to help Declan Harp. TvMaze states, “It's indeed a man's world, but Scottish spitfire Grace Emberly is determined to carve out from it her own destiny. Smart, savvy, and quick-witted, Emberly is a force to be reckoned with, gives as good as she gets, and has the respect of her patrons.” Netflix only has one season now but soon, a second season would be coming out on November 24 so be sure to check it out. You can learn more about it and watch the first season on this website: Netflix I hope that after reading this article you would check this Netflix Original Series out because it is very interesting and very emotional. It is also about the struggles of the New World and England, which is similar to what the 8th graders are learning about in Core. I thought the show was amazing and kept watching without stopping. I stayed up till 2:00 in the morning just to finish it because that was how good it was. Though I was very angry because the series ended with a cliffhanger, I hope that you watch this show when you have time and know that it is not only on Netflix. You can find this show in many other websites online as well. Be sure to ask a parent or guardian for permission to watch this show since it is rated T-V MATURE for their foul language and gore. Hope this review made you interested in watching the show. by Cassidy Xiong |
