So we have all played Halo or at least know what it is. For us diehard fans Chief will always have a place in our hearts, no matter what happens. I unfortunately, have a hate love relationship with Halo like I'm sure a lot of you do. I have played every Halo that has come out and spent countless hours playing the campaigns with our other writer Justin. The campaigns get you so involved that by the time its over you can not wait for the new one to come out, unless you play multiplayer arena.
I am talking about Slayer specifically. You're doing great racking up kills having solid games on and on win streak and then BAM! Your team drops, and you play Master Chief himself. This is where the frustration comes in, you put every round and grenade you have into the enemy his shield is down but somehow he looks at you the wrong way and you die. Then you think maybe you just suck at the game but then it happens again and you went from the top to the bottom of the scoreboard. I would say it was just that one game but it happens every time we play and I can hear my team screaming in their mics. Yet, I always come back to play Halo no matter how mad I get because no matter how many bad moments you have there will always be 100 more moments that you'll enjoy and have a great time talking about. I love Halo, I always will and I can not wait for the new one.

Ihave had my AirPods for about a month now and during this time I have had a chance to evaluate their features. Firstly, lets recap the AirPod saga. The AirPods were announced in September of 2016 with an October ship date. However, they were not released on time and were delayed until December of 2016 with a 6 week ship date. I have since received them and I have been using them every day for a month.

I couldn't have been more excited when I received my AirPods in the mail! New technology is awesome and makes for great experiences when it is done right. The AirPods are a great example of that. To connect them to my iPhone I simply opened the case next to my phone and they were magically paired. This simple and unique pairing is done with the help of the W1 chip that Apple has made specifically for their wireless headphones. I have also found during my use that it is easiest to control the AirPods with my Apple Watch. I am able to adjust the audio and change songs via the watch. This is when an ecosystem of products can really shine and you can see what Apple was trying accomplish with the AirPods and the simplicity of all its features.

It is hard to imagine a day where I don't use my AirPods. I start my day with the AirPods in my ears while walking to the bus stop. I don't need to worry about them moving or falling out of my ear while I walk because they fit very well in my ears. They don't shake or even seem loose. I ride the bus into the city for work and I prefer to have headphones during that ride. I keep my AirPods in and on during the entire bus ride and for the first bit of my work day. They sound quality is good for their size and they are very convenient. They also work with all of my Apple devices so there isn't any issue with moving from device to device. When I'm at work and I want to switch to listening to something on my iPad, I just select the AirPods on the iPad. Then once I'm home and I want to use the AirPods with my Mac, I just select them from the drop down menu. Overall the AirPods have been a very seamless product and have created an enjoyable experience for me as a user.

Seriously, it has been way too long since the second season of Rick and Morty; and let's not forget that brutal ending. There are way to many questions that I need answered. For example, how is Rick going to get out of the prison? What is the new earth like? What is Jerry's new job? So far, all we have gotten is new POP! Vinyl figures, which are amazing, and a crazy mashup video of the show.

Just as a recap from the last episode, there will be spoilers to follow. We saw Bird Person get betrayed and sadly killed. Squanchy tried to save Rick and the family was on the run until Rick turned himself in. This all lead to the brutal ending of Rick, cuffed to the wall in prison, with the best dramatic song to go with it, Hurt by Johnny Cash, which left you in shock.   Those are a few other things that need to be explained.

We can expect a very exciting first episode, if that day ever comes. From what I have read, there have only been rumors about the air date and then those rumored dates seem to get pushed back. It is literally a waiting game that I cannot play anymore. We at Media Soup love Rick & Morty and will continue to wait in agony, along with the other die hard fans until the day comes that we've long been waiting for. Please Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, I know you're making a masterpiece but we can't wait any longer!!
