This gave him a buff on jump height, fall speed and all of his special moves. This gave Cloud a killing toolbox, allowing him to dispatch opponents at roughly 65 percent and higher depending on situation and character. This killing ability combined with his high damage and superb juggling ability made Cloud into one of the best characters in the game, arguably second only to Bayonetta.

This year I will try to watch the 52 nominees before the ceremony.

The holiday season is over, we’ve celebrated the new year, the festivities are dying down, and work and school are picking back up; we are entering January. Though it might just seem like a new month, there is something about this time of year that doesn’t get talked about as much as it should.

Social media was designed to be a place for people to share what they’ve been up to or branch out and meet new people. However, it has turned into something much more serious. Social networking sites, such as Facebook and Instagram, are starting to become less like entertainment and more like an addiction for many users, whether they realize it or not.

In Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue, a gunman went on a shooting spree—killing 11 and injuring more—with the chilling battle cry “All Jews must die.” And this week, right here on EMU’s own campus, a message originally showing solidarity with the victims of the Pittsburgh shooting and the broader Jewish community was partially painted over, the new version—four key letters shorter than the original—reading “Together Against Semitism.”
