At any given point in time, there are about 3 million people playing the video game Fortnite on Xbox, Playstation, or PC, making it the most played game in the world. In Fortnite Battle Royale, 100 players are dropped onto an island littered with guns with nothing but a pickaxe and the ability to build forts out of harvested materials—the last player left alive is the winner. The game has become massively popular on Snapchat and Twitter, but that popularity has just found a new avenue: American collegiate institutions.

Ohio's Ashland University will now offer a Fortnite based scholarship through their e-sports team (which plays Overwatch, Rocket League, and Fortnite).

The Ashland e-sports team is truly honored to be what will surely be the first of MANY colleges offering Fortnite scholarships.

Young twitter users were, needless to say, pretty interested in enrolling at Ashland.

It looks like Ashland is taking the whole e-sports wave very seriously.

People Notice Cringey Sign On Kid Rock's Property After Video Of Army Helicopter Doing Fly-By At His House Sparks Investigation

MAGA musician Kid Rock was criticized for a cringey sign after sharing a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home that inadvertently sparked a conversation about what taxpayers are actually funding.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.

McDonald's is doing a collaboration with KPop Demon Hunters, and people haven't talked about a pop culture restaurant menu partnership as much as this one since, probably, The Grinch or Shrek, both of which also rocked bright, unrealistic food coloring.

Next month, the KPop Demon Hunters X McDonald's menu items will appear at most United States locations, at some locations in Korea, and there are rumors of at least some of the menu items turning up in other countries, as well.
