What is the Best Fast Food Spot in Sumter

By: Braelen Lewis

What is the best fast food spot in Sumter South Carolina is a very hard question to answer to someone who is not very knowledgeable on the subject but to me it is just blatantly obvious. The fast food locations in Sumter South Carolina are split into the burger joints, chicken joints, and Mexican American places. Of the Burger joints in Sumter i would have to say that the top three are surprising the Habit because yes it is not very popular for being a newer restaurant in the area the burgers are quite delicious. In the number two spot I would have to say belongs to Five guys because their fries, milk shakes, and burgers are absolutely heavenly but to me it falls short of number one for one reason: the absurd price. At number one unsurprisingly is McDonald’s because it’s cheap and their quarter pounders and wide variety of options make this the absolute go to burger spot in Sumter. Of the chicken joints in Sumter I would have to say the big contest is between either Bojangles, Zaxbys, or ChicFila but to me it’s not even a close debate. Bojangles is obviously the best option for chicken in Sumter. Its prices are low, they have great chicken, and they have the absolute best breakfast biscuits in the South. Between the Mexican Fast food options in Sumter there is the classic Taco Bell which is cheap and always reliable, Chipotle which offers some of the best authentic Mexican food in Sumter, and then there’s Moe’s which has almost the same options as Chipotle does. In my opinion however one of these far surpasses the others, Moes is the absolute best option out of these three because of the stack, their queso, their guacamole, and their perfect selection of beverages. Therefore the best fast food option in Sumter is between Mcdonalds, Bojangles, and Moe’s. Now although these places are all equally great to me, one stands out further than the others and that place is Moes because yes it is a more pricey option than the others the atmosphere and the absolute assurance that the food will always be fresh and delicious makes it my number one fast food choice in Sumter.

The Sopranos Review

By: Braelen Lewis

The Sopranos is a HBO original series which aired on January 10, 1999 and is a show centered around Tony Soprano who is the new head of an Italian mob gang. Now although this might sound just like any other classic mob show it is very different because instead of just an action packed mob series it goes deeper into mental illness awareness. This is done by giving the main character severe depression and erratic panic attacks while also giving the fans the action and plot they want. Personally, one episode that stuck with me and had a great impact was “TheTest Dream” where Tony has a severe battle with his mental illness and mixes reality with a surreal dream. Another thing I love about this show is how they were not scared t depict the realism of how cruel life can be like how it shows in the earlier seasons how Tony interacts with his son and then later on in the later seasons it reveals the consequences of his words when his son attempts to end his life. The show even depicts how in the early 2000s it was thought an act of weakness to speak out about personal struggles to even just a friend much less of a therapist which Tony has and it shows the struggles he has with trying to maintain his secret from the world. This is crazy to me because in today’s day and age it is much much different from these beliefs with thousands of people who see therapists openly not having to hide it all. To me the Sopranos is one of the perfect shows because the plot is extremely well written and the characters are very likeable while also implementing these indiscreet messages of real world problems with the world ultimately facilitating the watches with these problems. In all the Sopranos is one of if not the greatest original made by HBO close behind the Game of Thrones but certainly it was for its time one of the greatest pieces of television in the world for its openness to extremely controversial topics ultimately spreading awareness to these problems.

What is the Best Streaming Service

By: Braelen Lewis

What is the best streaming service is a pretty hard question to answer because of the price and variety of shows. Of course the streaming services that are in the debate of the best are Netflix, amazon prime, Hulu, or HBO Max. Some people argue that it’s Netflix due to the good originals they make and others argue that it’s the cheaper price that makes it so enjoyable but in my opinion Netflix is not the best because it doesn’t have a large selection of shows like other platforms. Others argue that HBO is the best because of the great originals that it has like Game of Thrones and many others but in my eyes it is too expensive and although it has the good originals it doesn’t have access to a lot of the larger shows. Amazon Prime in my eyes falls short to number two on my list because although it costs quite a bit it has almost every show and movie that the others have with the addition of many great originals like Invincible. It falls to my number two however because yes they have almost every show available to watch a lot of the good ones cost extra to either rent or buy the rights to watch it. My number one streaming service is Hulu because although it doesn’t have many good originals they have like every show and movie available and I know that it isn’t really fair to the other services but Hulu is connected with Disney Plus and HBO, so you can pay extra and watch everything available on Hulu while also having access to every Disney piece and HBO originals. Although technically not everyone that has Hulu has access to HBO and Disney since it is an option through the app I’m counting it. This is why Hulu is the best choice for all new gen’s when it comes to deciding which streaming service to buy this is due to the fact that people could save so much money by just watching shows through Hulu with the addition of the add ons this would make it where people won’t have to waste money on other streaming services.

Why TikTok shouldn’t be banned

By: Braelen Lewis

TikTok, the best social media app which is known for its short videos, has become an important part of today’s world. While some have called for its banning, particularly due to concerns over privacy, security, and its potential impact on younger users, there are compelling reasons why TikTok should not be banned. First of all, TikTok has become a significant platform for creativity, providing people with the tools to express themselves in creative ways. It pushes people to create art, music, dance, and share unique perspectives, fostering creativity in ways that traditional media platforms cannot match. Through its algorithm, TikTok promotes a level playing field where both amateur creators and established stars can gain visibility. This media production allows for diverse voices to be heard, particularly marginalized communities, who might otherwise be overlooked on more conventional platforms. Furthermore, TikTok has fostered an important cultural exchange. Users from different countries and backgrounds interact and learn from each other, creating a shared global experience. Although the official date for the ban is set to be on January 19th the newly elected president has said that he will do everything that he can to save it. This is due to the fact that he believes that the app helped him win the majority vote of young voters due to his large following. I hope that president trump will do what is right and save it from being banned because I do not want to move to instagram reels because on TikTok there is a sense of community that is missing on every other social media app. I will also miss the app due to the streak feature where I have multiple TikTok streams over two hundred with many other people. I also believe that it is not in the government’s interest to ban the app because although they believe that it does all these bad things, if they end up banning it without solid proof the people will be in outrage with large protests and riots to occur. Certainly TikTok does not deserve to be banned because it will ruin many small businesses and hurt many civilians and Jo has used the app for many years.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2

By: Braelen Lewis

Call of duty is a game that has been around for quite awhile, back when the Xbox 360 was the newest console. This game holds a special place in my heart due to the great memories I made playing it with my friends and the great stories I watched unfold playing their campaigns. My first and favorite call of duty game I have ever played is call of duty black ops 2 which I love so dearly due to the great campaign and extremely fun multiplayer. Most importantly though the thing that made this game so important to me was the zombies mode because it was the first one I ever played and the best. I can remember vividly in my mind playing that game with my brother all the time and each and every map. My favorite map was called transit which often received a lot of hate but to me it was the perfect map due to how different it was to its counterparts. It was so different due the fact that instead of just one area to play in you could get on the bus and travel to individual different smaller parts of the map each with their own secrets to uncover. Another aspect of the game that I loved so much was the unique weapons in the game compared to the newer games because back then there were no bad weapons each were unique and had their own aspects that made them so unique to use. Certainly the newer games that have come out in the recent years do have their own kinks that make them fun to play but they could never recapture the atmosphere that was call of duty black ops 2. This game will forever hold a special place in my heart as my favorite call of duty game of all time.

The Broncos Might be the Most Underrated Team in the NFL

By: Braelen Lewis

Although the Broncos have been terrible in the NFL in the past couple years, going through three different quarterbacks in just the last nine years. This year looks like it could be different although the team has a record of 6 wins and 5 losses their losses have all been to quality teams like the steelers, ravens, and chiefs. Although they still lost in the games they were still able to hold their own against each team even almost winning against the chiefs, but fumbling the game with a blocked field goal to win. Their wins as well have been against some quality teams as well like beating the Bucs 26 to 7 but they also have a lot of wins against pretty bad teams as well like the panthers and saints. Their next game in the season is against the Raiders, of which they have already beaten once this year, so I believe that they will once again destroy them like they did just a few weeks ago. One reason why I think they are doing so well this year is due to the fact that they might have actually found their franchise quarterback in Bo Nix who is having quite an impressive year especially with the mediocre wide receivers that the team has this year. Although their wide receiver one this year Courtland Sutton has not had the worst year with 647 yards this year with only 49 receptions this is probably due to the fact that Bo Nix has a 89.3 Quarterback rating with throwing for 2,275 in the season. Certainly the Broncos are a sleeper pick in the National Football League and could honestly make it very far this year possibly, in my opinion even making it deep into the playoffs but i don’t know about the Super Bowl.

Why the Chiefs are Frauds

By: Braelen Lewis

Patrick Mahomes-DeAndre Hopkins Connection Wows NFL Fans in Chiefs ...

The Kansas City Chiefs are frauds, there is no icing on the cake. They should not be undefeated the only reason they are is because of the lackluster refs and rules in the National Football League. Honestly, their players this year are lackluster. There’s Patrick Mahomes who obviously carries the team, but he has no explosive targets except for the new addition of Deondre Hopkins who in my opinion will carry them to another Super Bowl. This is due to the fact that D-Hop is the best wide receiver in Clemson history, and I believe that now that he finally has a good quarterback he will go off this season.

The Chiefs also have Travis Kelce who used to be in the debate of being the best tight end in the league, but it has become apparent now that he is completely washed and should have retired last year with his brother. Their other options are Xavier Worthy and Juju Smith, one of which is a rookie and could be something great in the upcoming years and the other is a washed old head. T

he best player on the team would have to be the Kansas City Chiefs refs with their god awful calls in multiple games this year which completely destroyed the other teams chances of winning, giving the chiefs an easy win. One example of this was in their game this year against the ravens where the ravens had a beautiful touchdown to get the lead in the final minutes of the game but the refs ruled him out of bounds winning the chiefs the game. Another example was Tuesday’s game this week where the Chiefs won in overtime but on the last play of the game where Kansas scored there was a blatant false start on the Chiefs offensive line but of course the refs didn’t see it.

Certainly the Chiefs are a fraudulent team and should not be undefeated.

Why Breaking Bad is the Best Show Ever Made

By: Braelen Lewis

Breaking Bad is easily the best television show ever created. Yes it’s a bold statement but it is true. This show single handedly revolutionized the television industry. Here are just some of the achievements that the show has. It is in the Guiness Book of World Records for being the most critically acclaimed show ever. It was nominated for 248 awards, and won 92 of those in the time since its running. This is due to the great story and plot designed by Vince Giligan and the great actors that participated in the project. Some of these actors are Brian Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Giancarlo Esposito who are all now extremely famous actors even though they were all already well known prior to Breaking Bad, but Breaking Bad has a special place in most of their hearts, Brian Cranston has even said that he will never play a role as important than Walter White. Although the actors definitely made an impact on why the show did so well, the most important reason why the show succeeded so much is due to the storyline. The storyline was written beautifully about a normal man who was told he had only a few months to live and he wanted to get enough money by the time he passed so his family would be able to live on. So he, like any person, resorted to cooking meth but truly the reason why the show did so well is due to the fact that it was action packed with extremely well written antagonists and fun side plots. Another extremely prestigious award the show holds is that it is the only show on IMDB to have a perfect 10 rated episode, which is Ozymandias. Certainly Breaking Bad is the single handed best show on earth and is a perfectly crafted masterpiece.

GOT- one of the best shows of all time

By: Braelen Lewis

Game of thrones is in my eyes one of the best television shows of all time due to the cinematic qualities and the great plot and characters. Back when the show came out it had everyone all around the world on the edge of their seats every single week because they couldn’t wait for the new episodes. Although the last two seasons sucked it is still solidified as one of the best shows of all time. Personally, one moment about the show that is rooted deep in my mind is when I watched one of the best episodes of the show with my good friend Wyatt Meyers at his house, and it was a great time. Also my favorite character of the show is Jon Snow because of his immense aura and he is just a likable character mainly because he is an attractive burly man. Personally, I believe that if the developers didn’t rush on the last two seasons it could have gone down as the best show in all of history but it won’t because of the last seasons. Also i wish the creator of the books would actually finish them but on another note Game of Thrones will continue to cement itself in the world for the years to come because although it is over there are many other spin offs already in development and the spin off, House of the Dragons is already on its second season and is actually very good. I am very glad that House of the Dragons is continuing on the legacy of Game of Thrones and I think that the legacy deserves to go on because of the impact that GOT had on everyone who has seen it. Certainly the show revolutionized the fantasy side of television shows and movies for the better.

Has Fortnite finally fallen off?

Braelen Lewis

Fortnite has been on the verge of death for a while now but has been able to hold on. This is due to its numerous collabs and new updates, but in the last months it has become silent. With almost nothing new and the active players on the game has been on an active decline. This is also due to Fortnite’s marketing team not doing very well with posting regularly and in general just making good content which reaches large audiences. Honestly though, in my opinion Fortnite is a dead game due to the repetitiveness of the gameplay and that all the people who used to love the game have all grown up and moved away from video games as a whole. It could also be argued though that another reason why it has fallen off is due to all of the new competitors coming out with massive games such as call of duty black ops six and space marines two. This could also be an argument for the case that Fortnite has not died and will return after people get bored of these games. The game is also dying due to the fact that people have grown up and their love for single person story games has risen and Fortnite can not compete with these games of which some are named beautiful pieces of art such as games like Red Dead Redemption two and Fallout four. In general I believe that Fortnite needs to invest in a new dlc or need to come up with a huge update to the game play for their games to return to the top of the charts, which they were at for such a long time before. Certainly Fortnite is a dead game now due to boring updates and no new outstanding content. Surely they need to expand their ways and come up with something like a campaign to gain back their title as the greatest game ever.
