DISCLAIMER, I don't own anything.
Once more, a man in black and grey sweater sat as he sigh for some time.
"I have the time, yet I don't do it justice." he said as he took a sip from Apple Cider. "Hey, Overlord, how you doing?"
Then came a figure from before. In all white armored with wings.
"Hey, Guy," Overlord said. He then gain a confused expression. "You drink?"
"Nah. I could, but Apple Cider is better for me," Guy explained.
"2018 has come and go," Overlord pointed out.
"Just drama for me. Especially in the last few months," Guy told him. "College is still a nightmare. My brother being a dick. And my future job, or jobs, are still in progress. Also I had to helped my dad with the roof. Man did that suck."
"Can't be that bad."
"I got a B on one class and C on the other twos. The project for sociology I didn't have time, and the Public Speaking speaks for itself."
...
The two looked at each as Overlord soon chuckle a bit on that. Soon Guy followed as they shared a laugh.
Just like back in2016 to 2017, they gathered the people, with some new faces.
"We're here again," Ragna said with a smirk.
"How come you forgot about us in 2018's New Years?" Issei asked.
"I forgot. But hey, 2019 may be good," Guy said.
"So what makes the year special?" Rachel asked.
"And last years, while were at it," Sol added.
"Uh, where are we?" Deku asked as he, Torodoki, Uchako, Mina, Toga and Dabi were there.
"Don't worry, you'll see," Ruby said.
They all watched Lemmino's 2017 video to explained it all. At 1, North Korea nearly caused World War 3. 2 were Memes at the forefront with the He Will Not Divide Us, but Shia underestimated 4chan and /pol/ in season 1, 3 and 4. Other memes includes "Catch me outside, howabout that", Salt Babe, and without a doubt the worse movie of 2017 was the Emoji Movie. Also known as God Has Forsaken Us, the Movie. 3, some hackers cause some serious cyber-securities breaches like like the WannaCry ransomware infected many OS, but a guy in the UK found the killswitch by sheer luck and stopped it. Petya Malware was the same, but really robbed the user no matter what. Star Wars Battlefront 2 by EA tried to trick people to buy their lootboxes, to give a sense of "pride and accomplishment". Equifax breach costed HALF of the entire USA to identity theft. 4, The Adcalypse of YouTube happen due to the Wall Street attacked Pewdiepie, which caused a snowball effect that affected EVERYONE in the site. 5, More anniversaries. 6, many, record breaking natural disasters were horrible. 7, Net Neatrality in the US was repeal, and Ajitt Pai was really hated for it. 8, #metoo happened after Harvey Wenstein was publicly accused. 9, coin was a thing, but had some mainstream attention. 10, was many Space things from SpaceX making reusable rockets a thing, to other phenomenons like kilonova and Total Eclipse. While also jabbing at EA by comparing Battlefront 2 EA's space combat to Battlefront 2 Classic's space fights.
"Well, that happened," Ichika said with a sweatdropped.
"Can't believe 4chan went after Shia instead of helping other important shit," Sol commented.
"DAMN YOU, EA!" Kirito shouted. "Goddamn you all to HELL!"
"So because of EA screw up, the governments are now looking into the gaming industry? Those idiots," Saito said.
"So, while they are like that, how was 2018?" Blake asked.
"Well, there no video by him, sadly, so I got some done," Guy said as he listed off what happened.
Turns out 2018 had some problems too. Games were meh for the most part. Battle Royale took over much of 2018 with Fortnite and PUBG. Companies becoming hypocrites like Ubisoft with Assassin Creed Odyssey's single player yet microstransaction. Bethesda screwing the fans over with Fallout 76 and the following scandals, controversies and blunders that would make EA blush. Blizzard announcing Diablo Immortals and created the new meme "Do you guys not have phones?". Also Nintendo killing many emulation and rom sites
"I take it back, this is worse," Kirito said, just horrified about this.
"Don't be," Overlord said as he showed them some good things. Like Nintendo finally getting rid of the Creator program. Which means Nintendo won't steak from any Youtuber's ad income from now on. Super Smash Bros Ultimate brought back EVERYONE from previous games, and new ones. Sony basically kept the single-player alive with Insomniac's Spider-Man, and there is God of War 4, or the meme titled Dad of War. Red Dead Redemption 2 finally came out and delivered to the hype. It is also legal to have repairers to soft mod or hack electronics at the customer's request.
"So faith restored at least," Jaune said with a smile.
"Sure, it's small, but something good at least," Weiss added.
"Not really," Guy said, causing all to look at him. "Yea, Sony began to censored their own sexy, Japanese games, starting with Senran Kagura. due to the company moving their headquarters to California. It also doesn't helped that Tumblr went all Smash Ultimate World of Light rays before going all Thanos on every NSFW creators out of there. Twitter isn't any better since they too also cracked down. That is due to the FOSTA and SESTA acts indiscriminately attacking porn and NSFW works, as well as its intended target sex traffic."
Issei and Aika, and some extent Blake but she kept herself in check, were horrified.
"I understand that sex traffic is bad," Aika began.
"But to attack our porn as well, I cannot forgive!" Issei ended.
"And the fact that Sony is backstabbing is is very dishonorable of them!" the two shouted in anger.
"Anything else before they short fuse?" Sol said as Overlord showed the 6 guest from BNHA how things are.
"Yea." Guy said.
Turns out there is more fake news than ever. A German reporter, who won Reporter of the Year, turns out to be fraud as even a hit piece he did was fake. The Republic of Sudan is about to enter to a revolution due to the corrupt dictator wanting to stay in power, despite being in the power for 30 years. The military accident at Ukraine that costed one Ukrainian's boat and their lives.
"That's bad," Yang and Seto said, since that is unfair at Sudan and the whole Ukraine fiasco.
"Well, Trump is right about fake news for once," Ragna said. He may disliked the orange, but damn was he surprised about that investigation that Phillip DeFranco delivered.
"Was there any tragedies?" Izuku asked.
"Yep, but we'll focus on Stan Lee," Overlord said with a sad face. "In many ways, he is the one who inspired your creator to create My Hero Academia. He was the creator of the modern day hero. Helped make it mainstream with his creations like Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Hulk, and the likes."
That made the 6 guest to have sad smiles and they saw pictures and tributes for 95 year old comic book pioneer. Including by their own creator and by a man known as Razorfist on Youtube on his other accomplishments that are overshadow by his well known ones.
"That is amazing," Ochaka commented.
"I know right," Mina said.
"I gotta admit, he deserves for all the good things he did," Dabi said with a smile.
"Excelsior!" Izuku, Toga and Shoto said, even though Torodoki was a bit monotone.
"So, you got any stories or progress?" Ragna asked.
"Life got in the way," Guy answered with a deadpanned face.
"Busy," Overlord excused himself with a blush
"I'm gonna go with useless to Guy on this," Ichika said, causing others to chuckle at that as guy face planted to the ground and grumbling about them.
"Hey guys, cheer up. How about we go and wish that 2019 will be better?" Overlord suggested. Everyone smiled since why not.
"And in time too," Blake said as she looked at the time. Everyone waited until the remaining 5 seconds as they got drinks ready.
"5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Happy New Years!" They shouted as some drank soda whiles others like Sol and Ragna drank alcoholic beverages. Rachel just choose wine to celebrate the new years.
"I will say this as a toast to a new year, a happy birthday to my cousin, who turned 18, and my nephew who was born yesterday. Cheers," Guy said as he gave a quick nod to his family.
This is a bit late from the actual 12:00. Heck, it's 2PM as I publish this. I had to wait or else my brother wouldn't annoy me. Any way, Happy New Years to all.
