In fact, the most popular song on TikTok right now per Tokboard, “Buss It” by Erica Banks, samples Nelly’s 2002 hit “Hot in Herre.” Other notable Oughties songs making waves on the app include a mashup of Britney Spears’ “Toxic” and “Love Shack” by the B-52s, a remix of D4L’s “Laffy Taffy,” Nelly’s “Dilemma” featuring Kelly Rowland and an honorable mention for Wale’s 2011 song, “Lotus Flower Bomb,” featuring Miguel. Hoobastank’s TikTok success further adds to a growing resurgence of Y2K era hits on the app, which are proving to be quite popular with the app’s Gen Z users. The song also scored a song of the year nomination at the 2005 Grammys, and made waves internationally, too, peaking within the top 10 in 10 other countries. Modern Rock chart (now known as Alternative). 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and held the top spot on the U.S. Robb is right: Hoobastank enjoyed plenty of mainstream success in the 2000s, particularly “The Reason,” which hit No. Like, none of us waste any time going, ‘Oh my gosh, the name’s so dumb.’ I realize that in one sense, it’s a silly-sounding name, but in another sense people don’t forget the name.” “And so we kept our name, and for better or worse, it is what it is. It is you guys.’ And they’re really good at convincing you to do things sometimes against your will,” Robb says. “He came backstage and basically said, ‘You guys cannot change the name. But, after their former A&R person saw them play, he convinced them to stick with the stank. Robb says when the band originally signed a recording contract in 2000, the members didn’t sign under a specific name. “Not that Hoobastank negates all those problems it kind of made everything worse.” We did spend a lot of time like ‘Let’s be this’ or ‘Let’s be that,’ and everything was either taken or we overanalyzed it,” Robb says. “The real story is that it’s a nonsensical word that a friend of ours in high school made up, literally on the spot. So why did the band coin itself Hoobastank? I thought it would be a perfect choice to clown on the name a little bit.” The music, yes, but almost every other aspect, no. We as a band have never taken ourselves super seriously. “Immediately when I heard about, the first idea that came to my head was the name,” Robb says. #fyp #thereason #bandnames #badbandnames #radbandnames #hoobastank #chumbawamba #jamiroquai The video shows Robb looking at Hoobastank’s RIAA plaques as the song plays, with the caption: “Realizing 20 years later that you named your band Hoobastank.” The band’s first foray on TikTok and self-aware spin on “The Reason” trend was welcomed with open arms, earning them over 2 million views so far, and almost half a million likes. 28, Hoobastank - which is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its debut album this year - launched its own TikTok account with the members’ take on the trend, poking fun at their name. “It started just like, ‘Hey, you know, there’s this thing they’re doing on TikTok using ‘The Reason,’ and it was building and building to a point where it was like, ‘Yo, you’ve got like 300,000,000 people using your song for this thing maybe you guys should chime in.'”Īnd so they did. Hoobastank lead singer Doug Robb tells Variety that he was first made aware of the trend from guitar player Dan Estrin, as well as their management. The Reason – just found this out like a week ago….

Well, this was officially on then - watchers of Fuchsia Prefecture's channel were getting a show. The crowd had gone silent, clearly awed by the appearance of Johto's pseudo-legendary dragon-type - the Dratini seemed to almost flutter down into the water, seemingly just as comfortable there as it was in the air, and settled down, curled, with a harmonious trill that heralded its arrival. Really, you should have known this was coming - Blackthorn trainer, of the Dragon Tamer clans? Guardians of the Dragon's Den? As the beam of light twisted and formed the snaking body of a Dratini, you figured that it was nothing less than what you should have expected. Once it released, you grinned and shook your head. She then leaned down and collected the pokeball she had set on the ground previously, and triggered. Irena nodded, recalled her Horsea and held its pokeball close to her mouth as she muttered a small prayer - or an oath of some kind. "Trainer Irena's Horsea can no longer battle! Trainer Irena, please select your next Pokemon" This diffused both moves - the field, once thunderous with storm and gale, was once again still as the last remaining drizzle the two twisters whipped up fell like raindrops upon the water. The Twister was still raging - but Morpheus calmly called up a smaller, lesser Twister of his own spinning counter to it and crashed it into Horsea's enduring attack. The Horsea, caught off-guard, didn't quite manage to dodge - and Morpheus blew out a diffuse Bubble Beam so that some of the bubbles would linger around. This was the power of Ditto - they were, in essence, the ultimate revenge-killer so long as they had the proper setup for their transformation - and with Morpheus's unnatural ease at changing forms, he more than made up for the small amount of time that shifting would normally take. The opposing Horsea had employed a Focus Energy to both try and evade as well as set up for the ensuing Razor Wind - but the burst of energy that Focus Energy granted it was not enough to make up for how tired it was, against an equal opponent who was completely fresh in Morpheus. The Ditto morphed into a copy of Irena's Horsea and, taking advantage of the newfound speed granted by Swift Swim, sped hard. Morpheus wasted no time - your Ditto was nothing if not determined, and it showed with the speed of his aggression. Hit the Twister with a second Twister to dissipate it" "Bubble Beam to finish it - set up a field of bubbles of your own, either to secure the finish or obstruct whatever else it tries. The bubble field it had set to finish Nero was also dissipating - it seemed that the Horsea could hit hard, but not make the bubbles last too long. While Lacy confirmed everything, Morpheus turned to you - you made an almost imperceptible nod towards the Horsea. With this choice, you'd shown the same two Pokemon against Callista and Irena - it wasn't intended, but certainly did make for interesting symmetry. You triggered his Pokeball, earning excited cries from those who remembered your battle against Callista. Well, as safe as sending Morpheus into battle could be anyways. She seemed very committed to using her fourth Pokemon, though - but still, you wanted to play it safe. And to win, you had to go for a sweep here - you needed something that Irena couldn't necessarily react to. Galen had enthusiasm, but he was not going to do well against Irena's A-team - he simply didn't have enough training and experience for it yet. You swiftly made a choice - going towards Faraday first, but deciding against it. They plug their ears against stories of knowing Obama’s last name and who joe is, that Desmos has shared with me.

With a curved blade, the katana was easier to unsheathe and perform slicing attacks than straight-bladed swords.Makes all types of katanas realistic (Gaurdless Katana, Ninja Blade, Katana, Nodachi, & Wakizashi)īlunt Damage: 0.15x from 0x (Cut is 1.2x so an edge walker 3 has 2.19 cut and now it also has 0.24 blunt, basically not even there)īe sure to check out my more realistic Weapon mods such as this one! Also if there is anything wrong that you think should be changed let me know. Some people assume that a curved blade is merely aesthetic, but this isn't the case. Deadly d8: On a critical hit, the weapon adds a weapon damage die of the. Lastly, the katana's curved blade makes a superior sword. A katana is a curved, single-edged sword known for its wickedly sharped blade. Of course, the long length of the katana gave samurai warriors a clear advantage of their opponents, allowing them to perform damaging blows at a safe distance. It was longer than the tachi and even certain uchigatana swords. With an average blade length of approximately 23 5⁄8– 28 3⁄4 inches (60 to 73 cm), the Japanese katana is a relatively long sword when compared to other swords. The general idea behind differential heat treatment is to create differences in hardness - and this is why the katana is such a powerful sword (well, one reason at least). The edge is cooled more quickly than the spine, allowing for more fluid and efficient cuts while also retaining a significant amount of strength. It represents the authority, the spirituality of the samurai, and Bushido. Basically, though, differential heat treatment involves heating and cooling the edge and spine of the katana at different rates. The katana was the weapon of samurai warriors in feudal Japan. #3) It's Forged Using Differential Heat TreatmentĪ third reason why the katana is such a powerful weapon is because it's made using a special technique known as "differential heat treatment." We've talked about this before on our blog. Each time the swordsmith folds the steel, it removes impurities from the blade while also distributing the carbon content equally throughout. On the other side, a longsword blade can reach 90-100 cm (35-38 inches) and then add an extra 15-25 cm for the handle (8-9 inches). This isn't true, but the katana is still folded up to 16 times, which is pretty impressive. The original katana had its sharp blade measuring about 70-73 cm (28 inches) and a handle of 20-25 cm (9 inches). Granted, there's an age-old myth stating the katana is folded more than 1,000 times. It has a unique execution where Jacket slams the blade down onto an enemys face. In Hotline Miami, it is a fast melee weapon that can spawn randomly in weapon spawns after being unlocked. #2) The Metal is Folded More Than a Dozen Timesĭuring its production, the swordsmith welds, folds and then welds the high-quality tamahagane steel more than a dozen times. The Katana or Samurai Sword is a very fast attacking melee weapon that can be unlocked by gaining points. Japanese swordsmiths perfected the art of making tamahagane steel, using the metal to produce some of the world's finest swords. High-carbon tamahagane steel is exceptionally strong, allowing for a super sharp edge that doesn't dull easily, whereas low-carbon tamahagane is tougher and offers greater shock absorption. Traditionally, it's forged using one of two types of tamahagane steel: high carbon or low carbon. The katana is made of the highest quality steel on the planet. #1) It's Made of the Highest Quality Steel Here are five reasons why the katana is such a powerful sword. This list contains Melee Weapons that are fully implemented and can be bought, dropped by enemies, and equipped. There are many swords in the game, each one having its own unique abilities and damage. Historically, the Katana was one of the traditionally made. Swords are one of the 3 types of combat weapons in the game helping the player from either PVP or PVE along with Fighting Styles and Guns. Originating out of Japan's Kamakuru Period (1185 to 1333) - when the word "katana" first appeared in written documents - it was the preferred sword of samurai warriors. KATANA The Katana is A general term for the traditional sword with a curved blade usually between 23 and 32 inches, worn with the edge upwards in the sash.
