Fortnite's New Adventure Time Skins Leak And Look Amazing
Fortnite dataminers have pulled out our first look at the recently teased Adventure Time skins and cosmetic items coming to the battle royale game later this week. And folks, they look pretty dang cool, and very accurate to the original cartoon versions of these popular characters, like Jake the Dog and Finn the Human.
On April 8, following previous rumors, Epic officially teased that it was planning to release Adventure Time-themed Fortnite cosmetics on Friday. Even though the original animated post-apocalyptic fantasy cartoon ended back in 2018, Cartoon Network has continued to produce specials and spin-offs for streaming platforms. So it's not surprising that thousands of fans shared the news of the Adventure Time crossover on Twitter. And now we have our first look at all the upcoming skins courtesy of dataminers.
On Thursday, dataminers decrypted Fortnite's latest update and pulled out all the Adventure Time-themed cosmetics. As teased by Epic, there are skins based on Jake and Finn. But there are also skins based on Marceline the vampire and Princess Bubblegum. The characters all look properly vibrant and even have Adventure Time's trademark noodle arms and legs. These Adventure Time skins are set to arrive in Fortnite on April 11.
Beyond the skins, there are new emotes, including one where players can play video games on BMO—a talking sentient handheld console—and another one that's a famous dance from the original animated show. There are also Adventure Time-themed pick axes, musical instruments, and backpacks. Oh and yes, you can use Finn—a dog who can shapeshift into nearly anything—as a glider. That means you can technically glide into Fortnite matches using Finn while playing as Finn. That's a bit weird, but this is a game that lets Darth Vader fight Goku while Sabrina Carpenter snipes them both from a nearby tower.
As for the price, there will reportedly be a bundle that includes all four skins that will cost 3,800 V-Bucks. Skins will also be sold separately for 1,500 V-Bucks a pop.
One Fortnite leaker did the math on everything and it will likely cost you about $70 to get every Adventure Time cosmetic item and skin. Pricey, but people are willing to spend that kind of money on in-game skins these days. We lost that battle a long time ago.

Millennials Are Hilariously Responding To Being Called Out For The Way They Communicate Over Text
There I was, just being a millennial, enjoying my day and reminiscing about Pogs and Orbitz drinks and Beanie Babies, when suddenly, I was jolted from my "won't-ever-be-able-to-afford-to-buy-a-home" haze. Why, you ask? Well, I happened upon this blatant attack upon my generation from @gaulicsmith on Twitter (now known as X): And I quickly discovered the conversation has been happening all over the internet, including X, Threads, and Reddit. Unsurprisingly, my fellow millennials immediately felt called out. "Feeling attacked lol," said one person. "They're onto us lol first they came for our cheugy lol then our side part lol then our computer y2k crisis but they made it fashion lol" "my apartments on fire and i haven't felt joy since 2012 lol" And it will come as no surprise that millennials, the kindest generation, who have never done anything to anyone (except "kill" a bunch of industries and part our hair on the side and wear skinny jeans), quickly started apologizing, lol. Related: 50 People Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Gave No EFFS "Sorry ( ) resisting the urge..." Then they moved on to their next tactic: trying to explain themselves. "lol does not mean LAUGH OUT LOUD! It means please don't be mad at me," this person said. "CLOSE! It actually means: 'I have anxiety so say it back or I'll think you hate me.'" "It is our way of communicating tone. We are a generation of people who feel like we are always in trouble/everyone is mad at us. lol" Related: "Something's Killed Me. Please, Someone Tell My Parents": 19 Terrifying Stories From People Who Lived In Haunted Houses That Are Gonna Give Me Serious Nightmares "If I don't put lol at the end of a sentence you might get mad at me. I blame having parents raised by traumatized WWII vets." "we cannot abide someone thinking we're mad at them" And one person hilariously added, "Remember when all our Nanas thought it meant 'lots of love'?" Of course, millennials also had to get in a few solid jabs at some other generations while they were at it. "at least i don't have tiktok voice," said one. "'Lol' is to millennials as '...' is to boomers." "frfr zoomers use 'frfr' like 'loud and clear' for radio comms." "Why does Gen Z wear pajamas everywhere lol" And finally, "At least we can read lol." To my fellow millennials, just remember: If you're a millennial, what do you think? Are you going to keep using "lol" despite the harsh and entirely unfair judgment? Let us know in the comments. And if you're not a millennial, give us a break lol. (See, that's proper usage of the lol. You can't be mad at me now.)

Orange County's tourist tax take was good, not great in April
Orange County's tourist tax collections were better in April than a year ago, but not as good as the year before that. The revenue generated by the county's 6% surcharge on overnight hotel stays and other short-term lodging has been a reliable measure of tourist industry health, but Comptroller Phil Diamond, whose office tracks the collections, interpreted the new figures cautiously. 'It's interesting to me that even though we're in the midst of what looks to be a very good year — and we just had a very good month — we didn't beat a number from two years ago when everything was less expensive and hotel rooms cost less,' Diamond said. April 2025 collections were slightly weaker at $33.1 million than those in both April 2023 ($33.6 million) and April 2022 ($34.6 million). Epic Universe: Know before you go Still, revenue from the Tourist Development Tax, or TDT, through the first seven months of fiscal year 2025 has totaled $235.6 million, about $11.3 million ahead of the pace of last fiscal year when TDT raked in a best-ever haul of $359 million. Diamond expressed concern about slowing international travel and global economic uncertainty, but also noted bright spots. 'I really want to see more Epic results,' he said, referring to Universal's heralded new theme park, Epic Universe. 'I will say I'm pleasantly surprised at the visitation level we've had before the new park even opened. That was a surprise to me and probably other people as well.' The immersive park officially opened to big crowds May 22 eager to see attractions built around training dragons, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo video games and Dracula, Frankenstein and other celluloid creeps and monsters from the movies. Tourism figures from May will be revealed in early July. 'I'll miss visiting my American friends': Angered by Trump's threats, Canadians rethink Florida travel Visit Orlando also offered a somewhat mixed outlook for summer travel in an emailed response about the latest numbers. Hotel bookings from May through July are currently pacing 1% behind the same time period last year, but the short-term rental market is showing 'robust growth' with bookings 15% ahead of last year, said Casandra Matej, CEO of the region's tourism marketing agency. She said the average daily room rate was $223.44 in April, driven largely by a surge in leisure travel. The rate was $208.50 in April 2024. shudak@

Universal's new theme park is absolutely incredible — but it's also got some big flaws
As a theme-park fanatic, I love Universal's new Epic Universe in Orlando and have visited 3 times. It's my new favorite theme park, but it didn't feel designed with Florida's climate in mind. It doesn't have many indoor or shaded areas, and most of its rides are vulnerable to rain. I've lived in Orlando, the "Theme Park Capital of the World," for over 25 years. In that time, I've already gone on thousands of visits to the area's attractions, from Disney World to Universal Orlando. So, I was pumped when Universal debuted Epic Universe, Florida's first new theme park in years. Even though it opened on May 22, I've already been three times, since I was able to get several early-preview tickets as a Universal annual pass holder. I've visited dozens of theme parks around the world, and Epic Universe has the most innovative, high-quality attractions I've ever seen. From immersive experiences and design to delicious food, Epic has pretty much everything I look for in a park. However, there's it severely lacks indoor attractions and shaded areas. And in Florida, that can be a huge problem. The park's current setup means one storm could ruin an entire visit Orlando experiences a lot of rain, especially during summer months and hurricane season. This also tends to be the most popular time of year for people to visit its theme parks. Unfortunately, all but four of Epic Universe's 11 attractions are in outdoor, uncovered locations. With so few indoor options, inclement weather could really wreak havoc on the park. People are already waiting over three hours to get on one of the park's few indoor rides, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, during fair weather. If it's also one of the few rides that can stay open on a rainy day, the wait time may only get worse. Epic Universe also has amazing interactive experiences throughout its parks, and unlike rides, they require little to no wait. My family loved casting spells at magical windows within its Wizarding World of Harry Potter and using special bands to compete in larger-than-life video-game components found throughout Super Nintendo World. However, these elements are nearly all located outdoors and would also be unpleasant to complete during a downpour. Epic Universe's lack of indoor rides means it can't quite compete with neighbors like Universal Studios and Disney's Magic Kingdom, which offer about a dozen options to enjoy in any weather. When it rains during our visits to those parks, we visit one of their many indoor attractions that range from family-friendly Minions-themed simulators to thrill rides like Space Mountain. At Epic, we were left scrambling to find cover or waiting in line for hours for one of our very limited options. A lack of shade combined with Orlando's tropical climate can make for a steamy visit Many of Epic Universe's shows and dining venues are indoors, which provides some relief on rainy and sweltering days, but I'm not sure that's enough. Even on a cloudless afternoon, Florida's heat can make competing for coins Mario-style or waiting in some outdoor queues feel practically unbearable. Although the park is overflowing with scenic gardens, it lacks mature trees to shield those walking through from the sun. Without covered awnings, fans, misters, and air-conditioned places to rest, the park feels like a scorcher on a sunny day. Unfortunately, it's also not possible to beat the heat by visiting Epic Universe after sunset. The posted park hours through the end of July show it closing at 9 p.m., not long after the sun sets. I'm hopeful the new park will keep getting better All that said, Epic Universe has only been officially open for a few weeks. Despite these flaws, I'm still impressed and believe it has the potential to be the best theme park in Orlando. However, I think there's room for improvement and wish it were better set up to thrive in Florida's extreme weather, from afternoons with blazing sun to mornings with rainstorms. In order for the park to truly be Epic, it needs more options that can be enjoyed come rain or shine — and maybe even hours and activities that can take us into the night.
