"Heroes," David BowieĪlthough “Heroes” may have been inspired by the sight of Bowie’s producer kissing his girlfriend against the then-active Berlin Wall, it’ll add a solidly triumphant note to any BFF playlist. Aaliyah)īest friend lyrics like these will resonate for anyone who’s ever hoped (and hoped, and hoped) their BFF will get out of a no-good relationship. (Related: Why, pray tell, did so many of us want to be Baby?) 13. Oh, the days of choreographing playground dances to this ditty and fighting over who got to be Baby. One of the most beloved best friend songs out there, this Motown classic is an especially sweet pick for BFFs separated by distance. “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell New Orleans rapper Tokyo Vanity went viral in 2015 for this supremely Insta- and Vine-friendly hit, and the tutu-filled music video will make you want to be her best friend. Put it on while eating midnight cheesecake with your own Dorothy-Blanche-Rose-Sophia crew. It’s the Cynthia Fee cover, though, that’s best remembered as the theme song for The Golden Girls. Gold wrote this song in 1978, dedicating it to his musical partner Brock Walsh. “Thank You For Being a Friend,” Andrew Gold Sure, this song may technically have been inspired by bassist John Deacon’s relationship with his wife, but it’s lived on as a bestie anthem ever since. ![]() It’s a pure-hearted ode to the best person you know and one of the catchiest friendship songs ever. If you’ve seen the MTV show Rob & Big, you’ve heard this song. Flying down the highway, dressed to kill, and ready to take on whatever the night brings. Selena Gomez tackles the energy of a girls’ night out in this song. Livin' like there's nothing left to lose.” It’s the carefree kind of vibe between kindred spirits, in a single song. This song tackles those friendships that begin as a bond between outsiders. ![]() Bruno Mars sings about the tight bond among best friends, namely the people who will “sail the world to find you.” But it’s this line that really gets us: “We'll find out what we're made of when we are called to help our friends in need.” Cue the tears. When it comes to songs about friendship, it doesn’t get much sweeter than this one. So go and let it all hang out tonight”-these are words straight from a friend who would be just as comfortable watching you cry into your ice cream or going out for a night of fun. “I know he did you wrong, we can make it right. Simultaneously tackling heartbreak and serving up “forget that guy, I’ve got your back” vibes, Lizzo created a BFF anthem with this one. It’s the perfect song to send a friend who’s going through a rough moment. The lyrics are words of comfort that anyone could benefit from when they’re feeling especially alone. This particular song was written during a time of loneliness for Mariah Carey, during a particularly tough marriage. “Any Time You Need a Friend,” Mariah Carey I'll be there for you, ‘cause you're there for me too.” 2. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. The chorus is a lesson in “how to write best friend lyrics”: “I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.

Sure, rock stars aren’t always folks who may have quite the same problems as the rest of us, but unless their dad is George Harrison many of them have struggled at some point in their lives - or at the very least needed some inspiration of their own. But the best inspirational songs don’t just nudge you toward your goal - they make you feel like the person singing is pursuing the same mission right alongside you. In some cases, it can be any song that means something to you. Whether you need a push to finally finish that novel or apply for that dream job or just get out of bed in the morning, the right song can get you there.

With the creation of Minion Yellow, this is the first time in Pantone’s history that a custom color or hue has been specifically created and then named after a character.Īlso of note, this hue of yellow named after the minions is the the first new Pantone® color to be released by the color specialists in three years. On this clothes, the word “happy” was highlighted in an illuminating shade of yellow, perhaps even inspired by the happy minions. Pharrell first associated the color yellow with “happy” when he developed his Happiness line of clothes developed with Peace, Love World Clothing. Ked’s Women Yellow Happy-Colored Sneakers They made the observation that people wanted to be adding more energizing, uplifting colors into their lives. Pharrell Williams, who created the music for Despicable Me, including the viral hit “Happy” came up with the idea of a specific Minion yellow, when working with the Pantone Color Institute®. In the meantime, this video from Newsy Entertainments gives you a look at the Minion Yellow as well as peeks at the upcoming Minon-inspired fashions. The amusing video went viral on Facebook April 21 with over a million views last I saw.īe forewarned about there are some shots of unclothed gender-less minions. Posted by Minions on Friday, April 24, 2015 New favorite color! #Pantone #MinionYellow ![]() ![]() Not only will they work 24/7 to create siege workshops 20% faster and will fire 25% faster as well. The Celts will be the siege making overlords. Pick the Byzantines against civilizations with great emphasis in infantry units, and you will be good. On top of that, the Cataphract is a great heavy cavalry against infantry. Not only that, but their monks will be able to heal 50% faster and the town watch technology will be free. However, their special unit is totally not worth it, being that they will bring a lot of damage to the table but lacking the necessary accuracy to be able to justify it.Īs you can guess if you know anything about the Byzantine Empire, they will have a great defense capabilities by their buildings getting extra hit points. Their technologies will also grant extra armor to the Elephants as well. The Battle Elephants are their specialty and on top of that, they will have quick access to both relics and gold at the start of the game. Blacksmithing is cheaper and faster as well. Furthermore, upgrades can make several units, including the Konniks, to attack 33% faster. Who would have guessed that the Bulgarians knew the secret for resurrection? You see, their special units are the Konniks, which are mounted units that, if they are killed, will be reborn as infantry units. A good combination of Archers and Riders can overwhelm the enemy pretty fast. Camel Archers can be built in castles, and they have upgrades that will make their production faster. Both the Camel Archer and Genitour are camel mounted range units. Besides that, they will know the enemies’ position at the start of the game.Ĭamels galore. They will gain bonuses by hit point upgrades, as well as a significant production increase at Vietnamese’s archery ranges. Rattan Archers and Imperial Skirmishers represents the best of the Vietnamese, both being ranged units. They also have a special building called the Feitoria which will grant resources passively. They sport a couple of special units that will excel at land and sea combat (Organ Gun and Caravel). This will prevent any siege happening soon, and also you will be able to upgrade their firing rate thanks to the available upgrades. The Mangudai, the Mongol’s special units, are mounted archers specially strong against siege units. Good cavalry and cheaper building costs, a good combination to adapt to any situation that comes by you, but don’t expect much more. Their docks and harbors will provide more line of sight and provide more protection by firing fire arrows. Well, they may not attack very well, since their units are cheap but fragile, but man, they do know how to fish. However, that’s pretty much what they do, because they do not have the attacking capabilities to justify choosing them. ![]() The Koreans will build Towers like there is no tomorrow. Ballista Elephants and Scorpions, they are the name of the game. Khmer are the siege kings, with several units that will have several upgrades that will boost their damage output. While the Italians do not excel at unit production (it is a meme up to this point), what they do have is culture, and they will be able to research technologies and age up faster than the other civilizations. And, of course, they rely heavily on cavalry to swarm the enemies’ settlements and cities. Huns start with the maximum population cap of the game. The Franks also has a 20% more hit points for mounted units. Having said that, the Chivalry technology will make stables produce 40% faster. However, they lack many upgrades or technologies. They excel at cavalry and also at producing Throwing Axemen. ![]() It’s still great for connecting to your smartphone if you want to take a call in the middle of a game, and means you can use Discord while playing together with friends when the in-game chat options are insufficient. Be warned that Nintendo’s console does suffer from audio lag via Bluetooth, so you may prefer using the dongle when the console is docked. The headset is also Bluetooth-compatible, meaning you can connect it to any device that supports it, including your Switch. Switching isn’t instantaneous – we recommend turning the headset off and on again before switching platforms – but in short, it works. This is such a seemingly straightforward fashion we’re surprised no one came up with it sooner. Turtle Beach has equipped the USB wireless dongle with a switch to toggle between Xbox and ‘USB’, the latter covering everything else including PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Not so with the Gen 2 Max, which is a true multi-platform headset. Microsoft’s proprietary signal, in use since the Xbox One, may boast superior coverage and eliminate interference from other devices – but it also creates a headache of needing a separate headset if you own other hardware. This then means potentially missing the automated voice cue coming from the headphones. While you may eventually have the muscle memory to remember which is which, we kept having to take the headset off just to check we were definitely holding down the Bluetooth button while pairing devices. ![]() Our only bugbear is that the left-side buttons and dials are a touch cramped. At least the boom mic is unintrusive, flipping out fully for online party chat, muting automatically when moved up halfway, and popping into the side of the left earcup when you’re not using it. It’s probably apt for a versatile headset to have somewhat generic styling. Providing you’re not using them in sweltering temperatures, it feels snug even after a lengthy gaming session. While this is mainly used to adjust height, it also works wonders for width. It’s less of a tight fit than Sony’s Pulse 3D wireless headset, especially once you pull out the steel headband. This is still a very comfortable headset, with memory foam earcups that are particularly great for folks who wear glasses. Please review our full terms contained on our Terms of Service page.

Yerba mate, a type of tea made from the naturally caffeinated leaves of the yerba mate tree, a member of the holly tree family, has been a staple in South American culture for centuries. Nutrition Facts (1 can, 12 fl oz.): 10 calories, 0 g total fat, 10 mg sodium, 2 g total carbs, 0 g sugar, 0 g protein, 200 mg caffeine It also includes chromium which may help control hunger and ginger root for flavor and digestion-two claims none of the other energy drinks on this list own. It’s deemed relatively healthy due to its lack of sugar and the addition of key natural health- enhancing vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C to support your immune system and vitamin B for energy production. There are 15 sparkling and non-sparkling flavors to choose from, six of which are in this variety pack. ![]() It gets its high caffeine content from a combination of sources: green tea extract with EGCG (a highly potent antioxidant found in green tea and matcha that helps prevent free-radical damage and reduce inflammation) ( 2 ) as well as guarana seed extract.īut what makes this one so popular? It’s accessible (you can get it at nearly every gas station or grocery store in America) and it’s damn tasty. Each 12-ounce can packs 200 mg of caffeine-more than any other drink on this list-and just 10 calories. Let’s start with the best healthy energy drink of the moment: Celsius Live Fit. In short, avoid artificial sweeteners like aspartame for their potential to be digestive upsetting look for monk fruit, agave, and honey, which are all generally considered safe. “As always, it is important to read the ingredient label, as sometimes stevia and monk fruit are combined with other unhealthy artificial sweeteners. Monk fruit is low-calorie and may contain antioxidants so it can be a good alternative to sugar,” she explains. “Though stevia has been generally recognized as safe, there are concerns over its impact on our overall health. If artificial sweeteners don’t cause you GI distress and you don’t have a medical condition like diabetes or high blood pressure to consider, Gately says they are safe for most people to consume in moderation. “Some people may experience GI distress, like diarrhea, after consumption,” explains Gately. Though faux sugars like stevia and sucralose (known as Splenda) have no sugar content, they also have zero nutritional value and can cause digestive issues. Then there are the sugar alternatives found in many energy drinks. The seed itself isn’t unhealthy, but it’s an NCAA-banned stimulant -it can show up in a urine test and shouldn’t be consumed by competitive college athletes, says Gately. If you’re starting your day with a quad-shot latte, reaching for an afternoon Americano, and taking down a Celsius before your men’s league basketball game, that’s overdoing it.īeyond excess caffeine and sugar, some popular “healthy” energy drinks, such as Celsius, also include guarana, whose seed s contain about four times more caffeine than coffee beans ( 1 ). The average person can safely consume around 400 mg (or less) of caffeine per day, or about four small cups of coffee. ![]() So it’s not about avoiding caffeine altogether, but rather about limiting your intake. “When you consume caffeine, it stimulates your nervous system causing your heart rate to increase, which pushes blood to your muscles and signals your liver to release glucose, providing you with energy,” adds Gately. Though some caffeine is perfectly healthy-it gives you energy and improves your ability to focus and concentrate-“some energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine that can be dangerous and negatively impact your heart, not to mention your anxiety and ability to sleep,” says registered dietitian Valerie Gately, MS, RDN, LD. Fortunately, it’s 2023, and there are plenty of healthy-ish alternatives to the sugar bombs of youth.ĭoes that mean we can consider these new-wave energy drinks to be “healthy”? Not quite. But that vice may come with downsides: caffeine jitters and an eventual sugar crash. A can of Red Bull or Monster can give you a boost when your ass is dragging at 3 p.m. ![]() If you are a gamer then you would definitely like this emulator as it supports many third party controller devices including joysticks, etc and support to more devices will be added regularly.
