Wanna know about me? Well here it is. I am Mr Paradox and i started this site to serve greatness anyway i can, and i am doing it. I got a whole kind of content just for you guys, so see what i can offer. And i am hoping this description is not bad, what do you guys think? Answer it in comments.
But he didn’t created the pen. No. While multiple writing systems existed from ages ago. The Credit for creating pen, would be given to either to Egypt or to the Greeks.
These were used by Egyptians in the 3000BC, they are made of reed or bamboo, they are used on Clay tablets.
But Personally i would give the honor to the Greeks.
The Greeks invented the first writing instrument that resembled a pen. They also made the earliest form of Journal or Notebooks to.
The first quills were used to write the Dead Sea Scrolls as well as works by Isidore of Seville, he is credited for inventing the period( . ), comma ( , ), and colon( : ).
They were made in the 6th century from the feathers of birds, but they brought a lot of problems with them. Like sharpening them too often or dipping them in ink every once a while.
They needed to be fixed. Hence, in 1927, Petrache Poenaru invented the fountain pen. It was described as a “self-fueling endless portable quill with ink.”
It also had many problems, like the ink needed to be replaced quite often.
But with time, they were fixed. And it didn’t ended there. The evolution of pens kept going for a long time.
Unfortunately, we are at the of the line for this post, i hope this had fulfilled your curiosity, but in case it didn’t, you can read about it more here.
After Volta created batteries, it went through a lot of evolution, like the DaniellCell, which remained popular for over a century. With a lot of evolution, one of the major ones were the rechargeable battery.
Wow, so many batteries, and we are not even done yet. We still have lithium ion Batteries with whom the experiments began as early as in 1912 with American physical chemist GilbertN. Lewis.
But commercial lithium batteries did not come to market until the 1970s.
You might have already seen my post on Imagine Dragons by now. If not, here’s a summery. I wanted to create a V/S post on Bands.
But then i realized how stupid that idea is because there’s no proper way to judge them.
So instead it has became a criteria where i can just quickly write something up for the lack of time, while giving somewhat proper content.
So today, i will tell you guys about one of my favorite bands of all time, big time rush.
I first found out about them by their show on nickelodeon, named “Big Time Rush”.
Which is still one of the best comedy series i have watched. All 4 seasons. Heck i have watched the first season 5-8 times. It’s fantastic, bit childish(it’s on nickelodeon), but fantastic.
And the songs, they were just as good, even more than it. Each song is so well done that i can almost recite them after hearing it for the 2nd time.
From Big Time Rush to We Are, they have such a wide variety of songs, i have listened to them endlessly for the last 6 years. Just give their songs a go.
Even though there band has broken up, kendall (Smith? The lead guy), still sings and gives us amazing songs.
Like this post if you have heard about them before, i will see you guys next time.
You may be wondering what i am doing with this post? Why i have made this post?
You see, i planned to make a V/S post against another band. But then i realized that nobody will like that. And in what criteria will i judged them on?
There was no way for me to be not biased. Hence, i will just recommend them to you one by one.
Like a default style post, whenever i don’t have time for one.
SO today let me tell you about a band, that i literally one of the best i have ever seen.
Every song, that i have heard have just filled me up with so much energy that i can run around the world without stopping, until i remember i can’t.
And can i say the diversity of the songs they have. From “Its time” to “Enemy” they have so much unique songs, from which 50% of them are just gonna make you run around the world.
other half have the kinda of sad tone, yet the music is something so unique that you can point it out in a, place with many songs? Tell me in the comments if you know the right word for it.
I would really recommend this band, just give it a try.
When i started the show, i didn’t knew what to expect. Which was good thing as i was genuinely surprised by it.
If you ask me the story, i would have a bit of hard time telling you as there isn’t an overarching story, like defeating the titans, or defeating Dio.
It is about this detective agency, in a world where people with power exist in hiding. And then there the Mafia.
There are seasonal goals, like Rescuing Kyoko, defeating The Guild, or saving the Bosses from both organization from Fyodor. You can even say defeating the Port mafia is the big goal.
Which is sidelined time to time. And the flashbacks, by god the first 3(4?) episodes of season 2 is still my favorite from this series.
And if you remember, i said that there are people with superhuman powers, yeah that is a big part of the show. And i would say you will not be disappointed by it.
The powers themselves may not be super unique all the time, but there is a very good variety of it, from simple powers like Strength to trapping people in a book until they solve a puzzle, or creating something out of thin air just by writing it.
But they don’t come without any restrains, and add that to the characters and their personalities, and you have an amazing action sequences.
The Best Quality:
And yes, the best quality of the show, has to be the characters.
They are the best, from their personalities to their relationships, personal values and beliefs.
Or the fact that even being so different from each other, they have something so similar that ties their story to one another.
It is something that you would really like, or at least agree is one of the best ensemble of characters.
But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have some problems.
Like for example, the first season, you could see it was trying to find it’s footing. Compared to later seasons, it was mid.
And then there was Akutagawa. He is a character with a lot of problems, atleast i had a lot with him. I never enjoyed him being on screen. Or his personality, or his character all together.
His sister was a better character with very few lines and scenes compared to him.
Common Criticism:
Season 2 dissapointment
Season 1 was mid, but season 2 opening arc was so amazing, it raised the bar so much that the main story of the 2nd season couldn’t catch up.
But it’s still better than season 1, and the villain, he was a threat to both Detective agency and the port mafia.
Season 3 opening arc was just as amazing, but the 3rd season actually holds up to it.
Atsushi
Not the best character, not the best main character.
The Conclusion:
It is really good anime with a rocky start.
It has amazing characters, and good story to keep you in.
The 2 main characters, Atsushi and Akutagawa sucks, but the rest make up for it.
It gets more good as it goes on. And the opening arcs are one of the best parts about this show.
So, what do you guys think? Is this a good and interesting anime? Should this be popular? Like this post if you do.

A Lighter, we see it everyday, in the movies, in shows, in real life.
But have we ever wondered where did it come from? Who created it?
Hello everyone and welcome back, today i am gonna go a bit back in time, specifically to 19th Century, and see how a lighter came into existence.
It was 18 hundreds, or more specifically, 1823, when Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner, a guy with a very cool middle name, like seriously Wolfgang, that’s an awesome name.
Anyway, he created the world’s first Lighter, which were called Döbereiner’s lamp instead of Wolfgang’s Lamp, then they might have caught popularity.
Because in reality, it didn’t. Manly because how dangerous and heavy it was. Thses are the only 2 pictures that i found representing them.
After that, the next significant innovation in lighter industry came in 1880 with the patenting of ferrocerium.
Which is crude iron alloy containing a high percentage of cerium and used for flints in cigarette lighters. It was by Carl Auer von Welsbach in 1903.
After that many companies tried making their own version of a Lighter. One of them were Ronson, which started produced large quantities of their Pist-O-Liter in 1910(Great name by the way) and Wonderlite in 1913(Again Branding).
Ronson also played a big role in popularizing Lighters in America.
And that is it, a small compact history of Lighter. Tell me in the comments which one should i do next, or if i missed some details.
Also like and follow me, and i will see you guys next time, in the world of Greatness.
P.A. Works are kinda known for preferring original anime over an adaptation.
Most of them been pretty good, and Iroduku was one of them.
Hello everyone and Welcome back, today i am here with an anime that you might have heard about, or more likely never heard about it at all, a hidden gem in my opinion.
Warning: I watched this show quite a while ago, so i don’t remember all the stuff that happens.
Created by Natsuka Yashio, Iroduku is about a girl going back in time, and spent some days with her young grandmother, unwillingly ofcource.
The entire show is about her dealing with her insecurities and overcoming it. And can i just say how beautifully it was done.
The relationships, you can see it growing, you get invested in it.
As each episode goes by you see her getting better, her problems fading away, and then comes the ending.
Which i won’t even talk about, because its very obvious, yet way too sad.
The Best Quality:
With a show having colors in the title, it’s best quality had to be it’s artwork. Which is not getting any justice in the pictures i put here.
As the artwork is just amazing, 90% of the time.
Not to mention how these amazing sequences just blends into the scene.
You may have noticed that the section above are very small.
The reason for that is very simple. This isn’t for everyone.
It is very clear from episode one, not to mention the fact that it takes time building tings up, so the first half is real slow(Boringish) compared to the 2nd half.
But i would say things get better from episode 3. Or after the young grandmother comes in.
Again, the characters itself are good, but depending on your taste they might seem quite bland.
Not just the characters as the story itself is very simple, no matter how good it has been executed. Making it quite predictable and boring.
The Conclusion:
It’s a great show with a very simple plot and great visuals.
Only issue is it’s very slow in the beginning and van be felt bit boring if you have taken enough content of same genre, as this doesn’t offer much new stuff.
Op and end are skipable. If you give it a shot, you might like it, just watch more than 1 episode.
This may not seem like a good anime, but i am one of those people who didn’t mind it being slow, hence i had a lot of fun watching this.
What about you? have already watched this? if so, then tell me in the comment what did you think about it?
If you guys want to see more recommendation check other my other posts, i also post recommendations on Movies, games, music, software, youtube and so on.
Make sure to follow me to get this and a lot of other kind of content straight to your email. I know who reads emails? Well, that’s what happens when someone follows me, i don’t know how to shut that off, atleast not now.
So i will see you guys next time, in this world of greatness.
Arcane hit the world like a storm. I on one hand didn’t even knew it existed until December last year.
So i thought, if i am gonna do a post on Series, what better way to start it if not by talking about Arcane.
And while most people have already watched it, you may still be on edge about it, or didn’t knew about it, or thought it won’t be good but it turned out to be amazing and have took it on your pride to don’t watch it, i am looking at you Jujutsu Kaisen, i will never watch you!
Anyway, let’s get this started, I am Mr Paradox and today i will tell you about Arcane. I will try to make it spoiler free as possible, but it has still a minor spoiler(kinda) in there.
Arcane is a prequel to League of Legends, a game i only know about from Conner from Trash Taste. Not the story of it ofcource, so i basically went blind in it.
And it was phenomenal, that’s how i felt watching every episode. And that opening from Imagine Dragons, what can i say about it.
This show had everything i could have hoped for, well not everything, i wanted more Jaycee fighting.
Anyway, before i talk about things i love, i should first talk about:
Things that i didn’t liked.
And on that list the first item is the ending. It was not an ending, it was a goddamn cliffhanger.
50% of the plot is left on air for the 2nd season, something that i want so bad and have to wait for, hopefully not for 6 years.
The 2nd thing on that list is the story, kinda. You see, while the story of the sisters was the main focus and i loved it, the thing is, The Topside got the short hand in it.
Mel story was just introduced and her character is not fleshed out enough for us to care.
Victor story was good, but is left hanging, Hermingder(or something his name is real hard) just started his story just like mel.
And Jaycee, he’s such a big character, the 100th champion, and the most interesting story aspect about him, is the stuff happening around him, instead of with him.
I still love him, totally because he has a big ass hammer with him.
And the final thing(SPOILERS) is the end of the first act(3rd episode), it was unexpected, and something that i don’t expected a 12year old to do. Then again it may because i was too mature for 12year when i was that age.
But to go under the guy who kidnapped Vander and almost killed them, why? Just why? I know it was for story, but it was never made sense to me.
Now that all that is done, let’s talk about(Spoiler free from now on):
What i love about Arcane:
Art
It was marvelous, it was like What if animation but better. It was Unique and so much alive. Each scene, each moment, it was breathtaking.
Story Imapct
While the story has problems in it somewhat, it’s still something that felt unique. You get caught up in it, you want to know what’s next, what happens now? Each story plot, as minor it is, is something that draws you in, and never let’s go.
Characters
The most i connected with characters, definitely on top 3. Each of them were so alive, as they had a life before we met them, that they mattered somewhat.
You will cry when they do, you will laugh when they do, they are one of the most humane characters i have ever seen.
In conclusion:
I know the last section was shorter than the “things i hate” section, but even then i have to say how amzing this was.
Yes it had flaws, it took me 3 days to come up with all that, i was being extremely nit-picking in that, and then that how little i got to hate.
On the other hand the things i loved was left short because i didn’t wanted to spoil it to you. Tension of each episode, the emotions. It’s something you don’t want to miss.
So yeah, this was my first review of a series, i don’t think this is the best way it could have done. But i am pretty happy with what i have here for you.
I will see you guys again, next week, in this world of greatness.
Hello everyone and welcome back. Today i am here with a show, that have brought back Mecha.
Who am i kidding Darling in the Franxxx did that, this is the show that seen the potential and success of that, and thought to get some of it for themselves, and somwhere along the lines, they ended up creating one of the best Mecha anime in out time, which i mean after 2010.
Yes, you know who am i talking About, so why don’t we begin already.
86 was really a surprise, as i didn’t expected it to be soo good.
This series picks up and leaves you in the ending stage of a war. With the fact that everything will be over in 2 years.
Going to war are the people from 86th district. Essentially, everyone who’s hair and eyes are not silver.
This people, or most importantly kids, go through war each day for the nation while the people in them don’t even consider them human.
The contrast we see between them, and there’s differences. How they look at each other, how there words are not even considered.
And then when they go to another hero, they are seen as these pitiable beings, and people want to give them a better life, ignoring what they want and how they lived there lives so far.
And i am not even mentioning the story or action in this.
The Action is really good, much do my surprise, is good enough to not skip. And the story is better left on it’s own for you to enjoy.
The Best Quality:
IT has to be the cinematography, or in simple terms, how each scene is done, the foreshadowing, the angles, expressions.
You may say it’s more part of the Story, which it is, but i think this describes it better as this covers most of the aspect not associate with story.
Now, i am not saying this show doesn’t have flaws, but most of them are ignored, so here’s a small list of them:
Common Criticism:
The slow pacing of the show
I Have to say, this is way too slow paced, too many times.
I can’t watch this show in less than 2.5x Speed. I know it may be different for different people.
And i know it’s for good reason, you can see it yourself but i still don’t like it.
too much on the nose
If it was forgettable, i wouldn’t be recommending this to you. If you watch like 500 Shows or such, then i think it would be hard to remember this show, otherwise, it’s quite memorable.
The Mystery element surely suffers from the pacing issues as well, also with the fact how much story they tried to shove it in.
The Conclusion:
It’s a good anime, without a doubt an interesting one, like i promised.
Yes it has flaws, a lot of them, but even then it entertains us well enough, and it’s different from what we usually get from anime seasonally.
And i think it adapted the story well enough as well.
So, what do you guys think? Is this a good and interesting anime? Like this post if you do.
