The graphics for video games in 2018 are going to be absolutely insane

Graphics in video games can only keep getting better and better. But a few 2018 titles have even the most seasoned gaming nerds take a second look.

It was only thirty years ago that the simple ass Pong game was created and was the first video game with insane visuals. We’ve made crazy strides in games since then. Especially the games that are coming out soon like Work of Mercy, Detroit: Become Human, Far Cry 5, Red Dead Redemption, and God of War. Peep this video to see why they’re gassing it.

Work of Mercy is a new title coming out in 2018 that has mind blowing graphics. The trailer shows such a realistic apart you might wonder if it’s your crib. Everything down from the phone to the paint on the walls looks insanely realistic.

The story of the game is captivating as well. It centers around a man who had his daughter and wife kidnapped, and he now has to do a variety of tasks for the kidnapper if he ever wants to see his family again. But the graphics make it intense!

Detroit: Become Human also showcases amazing graphics in a futuristic world where AI and robots have become a part of society and decide they have rights just like humans. From the androids to all of the humans, this game looks too brazy.

Far Cry is a very popular series that has produced very visually intense games and Far Cry 5 is no different. The story takes place in modern-day America in a small county in Montana being violently controlled by ultra religious christians. Usually Far Cry games take place in exotic foreign countries but this time it’s different. The story is a new turn in the series and the graphics will make you yack it.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game that many have been waiting as long as 8 years for. It was supposed to be released in 2017 but the game was delayed another year to 2018. After seeing the graphics in the trailer, people will see that it was indeed worth the wait. The game is chock full of action and graphics to match.

God of War is another classic series that underwent a complete graphics revamp but maintains the same fire gameplay.

The game takes place after the previous God of War games, where Kratos has settled down and had a son in a new world with different Gods who become aware of his presence and want to take him down. Kratos must once again prove that nothing can stop his endless rage to take down the Gods.

From the small amount of gameplay snippets that have been released, Kratos looks completely different compared to previous games and it’s sick. Not only does he look super realistic, but the monsters in the game are truly wild.

It’s safe to say that 2018 is the year of graphically intense video games with amazing stories to match. We’ll see if they’re fire or not.

College kid finds out his long lost brother goes to same school as him

When they say it’s a small world they aren’t lying, especially in the case of 20-year-old Georgia college student, Kieron Graham.

After receiving an Ancestry DNA kit as an early gift for Christmas, Kieron got way more out of it than expected. Kieron always knew he was adopted but never knew any of his biological family members so he decided to try it out. He soon found out he had a long lost brother and posted their conversation on Twitter for everyone to see.

@kc_graham

Through their conversation on Facebook, Kieron learned that he lived in close proximity to his long lost brother Vincent Ghant.

He decided to reach out on Facebook and it turns it out it actually was his brother and they have been going to the same school at Kennesaw State University for over three years without knowing.

Kieron and his older brother, family and niece he never knew, were able to meet in person. Kieron was able to capture the memorable moment and post it on Twitter to show his lucky discovery. 

Kieron’s luck only increased from there and he was able to find and meet up with a younger brother, Christian, that he previously knew nothing about.

He was able to coordinate a meeting between the brothers who were all more than ecstatic to see each other.

But Kieron’s story only continues to get even more interesting.

His birth dad reach out to him and wanted to meet him and introduce him to another brother he knew nothing about that he had on that side of the family. 

They were finally all able to meet. It was emotional to say the least but it was something that was long overdue for the brothers who had each been thinking of each other in fleeting moments of their busy lives. 

Kieron Graham also has plans to meet his birth mother later this week. A truly heartwarming story for this Holiday Season.

Who is YBN Nahmir? The Alabama rapper who got his start freestyling on Xbox Live

YBN Nahmir is a casual gamer turned up and coming rapper who is taking the music world by storm with his bars but he only recently started rapping.

When he was younger, YBN Nahmir got his start rapping not on SoundCloud but freestyling off the top in Xbox Live parties and slowly but surely he started to make a name for himself through GTA.

From there, he started to take his music more seriously, posting tracks on SoundCloud where he has over 50 tracks. But it was not until the release of “Rubbin Off The Paint”, dropping September, that saw Nahmir really exploded on the scene.

The song currently has 65 million views and counting on YouTube. The song brings its own unique, catchy upbeat sound into the world of hip-hop and you can actually hear what Nahmir is saying in his bars.”

“Rubbin Off The Paint” is completely different from anything out right now and that has made it a hit. Nahmir isn’t trying to sound like anyone else, he’s just doing him and it’s catapulting him to the top the charts.

The song has garnered him the spotlight and many cosigns from successful artists in the world of music such as Chris Brown, PNB Rock, and Vince Staples.

YBN Nahmir hails from Birmingham, Alabama and unlike what people think, the city is actually not a backwater town that’s surrounded by farmland.

It is actually a vibrant city that has yet to have its story told due to the lack of rappers coming out of the city and the fact that most that become popular artists were killed or they are currently serving time.

Unlike the rest of the rappers in Birmingham, Alabama, YBN Namir wants to complete high school and motivate those around and he’s not afraid to do it all by himself. In an interview with No Jumper, Nahmir said: 

“I’m not the type of person to chase a nigga around just to do a song with them. I let people hit me in the dm’s I don’t dm people first.”

The fact that he can make this self-assured statement in an interview shows that he has a large amount of confidence in his ability and eventually take over the game and put Birmingham on the map. He’s doing extremely well for someone who just turned 18 years old and only recently started getting serious about being in the rap game.

And he’s not only representing himself he’s trying to let the people that held it down before the fame come up with him. He reps his crew YBN, which consists of YBN Nahmir, YBN Almighty Jay, and a whole crew of up and comers.

YBN Almighty Jay is already starting to develop a name for himself as well with his new hit “Chopsticks“, which has garnered around 5 million views on YouTube. It’s also a catchy upbeat song that has a little bounce to it.

But don’t let the sound and baby faces fool you, YBN Nahmir and YBN Almighty Jay are indeed about that action, they’re definitely out here toting a large amount of guns in their videos like it’s nothing. They’re clearly showing that if anyone wants smoke they can get it at anytime.

Keep an eye out for YBN Nahmir and his crew. These dudes might just put Birmingham on the map.
