The Final Day of Year 2017

Spring 2017 (Whitby)

Summer 2017 (Whitby)

Autumn 2017 (Milton)

Winter 2017 (Bowmanville)

Alright, so this is it: the final day of 2017! 😮 Wow, not sure if it felt like it went by fast or not, but I certainly wouldn't say that it was slow. While 2017 hasn't personally been exciting for me, I can say that it had its ups and downs. I've been comparing the events of my life between these two years (2016 & 17) to see which year was overall better. The results? Well, 2017 is seemingly a marginal improvement. If I must be honest, I think the number of annoyances and other bits that took place, have me to believe that 2016 was honestly the better year for me. But then again, 2016 was also rather disorganized and I remember openly calling it a flop in front of people.... 😨😬 Yeah.... for those reasons, I think I'll actually consider 2017 as truly the improvement of 2016, despite that it had a bit more stressful events that took place. 😅 I know. I'm being rather vague about things here, but I'm just not the one for going into details about these things.🔒

So that was my personal life, but what about YouTube? How have things been in 2017? Well, it seems like YouTube was a pretty bad year for most YouTubers with this whole Adpocalypse thing, fake drama, real drama, complete demonetization for people who had less than 10,000 channel views, and what else? I'm sure there's probably plenty more, but those are the core things I can think of from the top of my head. Luckily for me, I have not gotten myself involved into any drama of the sort, nor have I ever gotten any strikes! 😎🏆 Then again, my channel is also an low-traffic place, so that may have something to - actually, nope! You have some low-traffic and mid-traffic channels that have gotten themselves into unbelievable amounts of drama, so never mind about that being an effective measure of staying safe! 😰 Now, it certainly wasn't all roses, rainbows, sunshine and singing canaries for me, as you will know from "Why Your YouTube Channel Might Be Losing So Much Money (April 2017)" I don't know why YouTube had to make this brutal move, but they did it anyways. This made it very demotivating to continue YouTube, but I was determined to keep going. 7 months later, November time arrives and I met the quota, so my earnings were restored. Still, I wish they hadn't done that in the first place, and hope to God that they don't come up with some other shenanigans in 2018! 😑

This aside, 2017 would also be the first full year of the GuuzakaTube era, after succeeding the longstanding ATA1201058 back in 2016. Has quality and diversity lived up to my expecations with the personal brand transition? Well, it's certainly gotten much better, but there is room for improvement. 😉 I love how I've been to so many different places this year, and have done a lot of mobile gaming, commentary, and even a few music and animation videos this year. Definitely pride myself on that for making much videos to reflect the channel's theme, while also trying other categories. Speaking of categories, I wonder if I should categorize the outdoor videos as "People & Blogs" as opposed to the usual "Travel & Events" like how I normally do. You've seen my videos, so I'd really appreciate feedback on which category you think represents them more accurately.

Should I mention Instagram, DeviantArt, Tumblr, Twitter and Blogger? Why not? I'll just go with a brief rundown with how each went in 2017. For Instagram, it was painful when I got shadowbanned sometime back in May. Though long resolved, and haven't been shadowbanned since, it still sucks how the company just won't update their Windows application and make it functional! Argh! 😡😠 Oh well, 6Tag fills the void for now... For DeviantArt, I'm not terribly active there because I'm not the greatest (nor am I the worst) artist around. I initially created Tumblr as a placeholder after getting shadowbanned from Instagram. I thought that I would have abandoned it after getting my Instagram back, but I ended up liking the user interface a lot, so I'm still using it to this day. Twitter, like much of my other social media anchors, I mainly use to advertise my uploads, but do use it for other purposes as well. Blogger, hey, I'm using it right now! 😄 I use it for uploads, affiliate marketing and other times when I feel like discussing something - like 2017 New Year's Eve! Now, there are other anchors I have on the channel, but because I have not used them in 2017, it would be pointless to mention them. Maybe we'll see them come to use in 2018?

Alright web surfers! This has been it for the final blog post of 2017! Thank you for reading and watching my objectionable entries! 🤣 Have a safe, blessed, prosperous 2018 New Year! 🎉🎊🌠

December 28th Entry: 2017's Days Are Numbered

GuuzakaTube                                                                                                 2017-12-28

December 29th Entry: 2017's Days Are Numbered

They really are. There's just 2 full days left of 2017. After that, it'll be gone forever. Some people will be glad to see it go, some will be sad, while some will be indifferent. Regardless of emotions, 2018's coming super soon! What will be in store for my channel and life? Find out in my final 2017 entry coming in a day, two or three from now... For now, let us just discuss those recent outdoor videos that were uploaded to my channel yesterday.🕒

Ontario Street Public School

"For real though, what happened?" Some of you must be wondering. Well, actually, nobody's seen the video yet as I type this, so you haven't actually asked yet. But I suspect that you might, so let's just finally get down with this! The day I've originally filmed the first segment without the snow, was also the same day I filmed the Duke of Cambridge Public School. You can probably predict what happened by now: storage. I ran out of it.😰 Thankfully, that November marked the last time this would happen, thanks to my new, trusty Samsung micro SD card. Ok, so just what happened the following weeks? Well, I just didn't get the opportunity to go outdoors and film, which was really annoying, but oh well. When I finally got the opportunity to film, I almost didn't want to go back to this dull area, but because I had already attempted it, I told myself to finish it. Surely, I did. And yes, no offense, this area is boring. 😐 Just being real and honest. The other two destinations I'm about to discuss soon, weren't too bad though. That said, the snowfall made for some interesting footage and photography, as you can see in both the pictures here and the video itself.

Saint Joseph Catholic Elementary School - Bowmanville (Also the 300th Channel Video)

Oh, Saint Joseph! How difficult you were to walk around! It's a fairly interesting place, but the snow, slopes and awkward cut off points, make this place a bit of a challenge to walk around. Then again, who walks around schools to film them again? 🦗😳 Yeah, I thought so too! 🤣 With it being my very first time exploring this area, it made for a fresher filming and photography session for me. I did have intentions to do the Roman Catholic church associated with it, but because it was open at the time, I decided against it.

The Salvation Army Bowmanville Community Church

This place was totally unplanned, as I only had to intentions to finish Ontario Street and capture the Saint Joseph buildings that day. Lo and behold, as I was walking up Liberty Street, I saw this place looking nice and vacant, so I went for it! I was surprised to figure out that it turned out to be yet another one of those Salvation Army Community churches. Remember the one in Oshawa? Ok, how about Whitby? During the video, I suspected that there may be one in every major municipality, after making the discovery of what kind of church it was. I haven't looked into it, so I don't know how true that is, but there's likely many throughout Ontario and perhaps even the other provinces and territories. Well, I don't know about the territories part. 😅 Anyways, it was nice seeing this place by surprise and exploring it. Though the drivers on Liberty Street must have been like, "Da hell is this guy doing?" 🤣😳😨😧

What's Next & Other Ramblings

There were plans to get two commentaries and an Asphalt 8 video uploaded, but due to intense time constraints, that will certainly not be happening! But don't worry, you'll see them during unspecified times in January 2018. New Year's be right at the door step! One thing that's going to be sad for BlackBerry 10 users, is that WhatsApp will no longer function! 😬 Well ok, we still don't know if it'll just work without any more updates, but it's still bad news. Yes, I know that you can just use the Android version, or buy a BlackBerry Keyone or something, but what if you don't feel like doing either of those two?🤔 The answer? You use it and accept that there be limitations, or you just do either of the other two options. Yes, I do have a Windows Phone, that is luckily still getting support from them, but the problem is a lack of a physical keyboard on 99% of smartphones these days! Typing longer messages on a virtual keyboard is still rather painful for me.... While we're on the topic of smartphones, it looks like Apple has not only come open about their battery shenanigans, but also apologized and will give iPhone users a function that monitors the battery, as apposed to the phone just underclocking itself without the users consent. Or at least, I hope that's what the case is. If you ask me, I'd rather have sheer blistering speed at the sacrifice of battery life, over a slow, power-efficient device. Not a fan of slow electronics at all! 😑 Anyway, that's been it for this entry, so I will see you Sunday for la finale?🤔

December 26th Entry: Where Have I been?!

GuuzakaTube                                                                                                   2017-12-17

December 26th Entry: Where Have I been?!

For real though, where have I been?! Why wasn't there an entry uploaded last week? Why was there a video uploaded on the 15th, then 3 on the 22nd, and one yesterday without any mention of them on social media? And why isn't this entry titled "Boxing Day" when it's clearly happening on Boxing Day? Ah, lots of questions you guys must have. Well, we can start with the latter first: I didn't do any Boxing Day shopping, nor do I plan to do any, so I figured that it wouldn't make too much sense to give it that title, when it's not going to be the focus. In regards to the cryptic uploads and absence of their social media follow ups, it's a combination of it being the busy season, and making the YouTube Rewinds and Christmas video. Both of these were more time consuming than I anticipated. Keep reading to get the full scoop on everything that was missed and not explained! 😅

Porsche Is Making Honey Money 🍯💰

Yep! In case you still don't know, the very same company we know, and love, for making awesome vehicles like the Porsche 918 and Porsche Cayenne, is making honey! Sweet, sticky, buzzy honey! When I first read the headlines about this, it struck me so hard that it triggered me to make a video on this. And now, I'm here typing a blog entry on it, as I'm driving in my blue all-new 2018 all-electric Porsche Cayenne. 🤥 Yeah, you know where this is heading by now with the presence of that emoji. Despite them saying that you can buy this, I don't know where, or if you can buy it from them directly. To be honest, it very likely tastes the same as regular honey. Being made from a high-performance German automotive manufacturer, will not give it a high-performance taste, and it certainly should not! That would be very suspicious! 😆😬

Asphalt 8: Airborne - December 18 2017

A 36 minute long Asphalt 8 video? Yep! I've done quite a bit in this episode! Assembly, Championship racing, regular racing, opening boxes, max outs, and what else? Oh, of course, chatting! Excluding the assembly segment, this video was done after I finished updating it to the 24th update: Hot Wheels! 🤔 I know, Hot Wheels cars in Asphalt 8. Like I expressed in the video, I'd prefer for them to stick to real cars, but whatever. It's not like we forcibly need to buy them anyway. Some people have even blatantly stated that they'd skip the Championship for them, and I don't blame them. At the time I write this, these Hot Wheels vehicles don't even have Season 9 and Mastery Tracks available, to make pursuing them even more pointless! Wow, did they really just throw these in as joke? Will they change this in the future? And when they do get Season 9 tracks, I HOPE that they give them the newer places like Munich or Patagonia! Please, no older tracks like Tokyo, Nevada or Azure Coast! There's enough of those already, and there's no shortage of them in the Career Mode through Seasons 1-8. Aside from the goofy cars, this update THANKFULLY has not brought any dreaded changes, like price increases, turning old cars into blueprints, or turning credit cars into token cars, to name a few. It's actually brought some welcome ones, such as the feature that allows you to keep fusing without having to open a box (though being able to turn them into credits was still better!), and the new cars outside of the toy cars. For the next video, things should get pretty interesting after I finally get some of my beasts pro'd! Oh yeah, and did I mention how glad I am that they're still keeping the updates going for Windows Phone? Well, for now at least...😐 They still never officially got back to me, nor do I expect them to.😒

Subway Surfers: Saint Petersburg 2017

Still not playing this game as much as I used to, hence why I'm not as rich as I used to be in-game. That said, I didn't want to miss a gameplay session of this new update, so I dedicated some time to play on the Christmas themed Saint Petersburg track. Loved it! Similarly to the Halloween track back in October and part of November, it was well decorated with festivity, and had seasonal music mixed into the original Subway Surfers soundtrack. Still haven't unlocked Nicolai yet, but I better get on that before I miss it! I mean, he may appear again sometime in the future during Wednesday or Thursday I think, but that's no guarantee. Seriously though, even though it's the same repetitive gameplay mechanics, the track is really well done. 🎄✨❄

YouTube Rewinds 2010 – 2017: Ultimate Commentary & Discussion

So I finally decided that 2017 would be the year that I make a video about this, eh? A few years back, I thought about doing something like this, but never gave it any serious thought, till when this year came. As a result, it gave me a lot of YouTube Rewinds to talk about, which also made the video a little more time consuming to put together, but so what? It was honestly a lot of fun to go back and watch 8 years worth of YouTube Rewinds! Oh, how things have changed from 2010 to 2017! And of course, people hate that. They hate how the YouTube Rewinds have become more fast paced, longer, and keep featuring more YouTubers that they "can't recognize" or just do not like. Honestly, I thought YouTube Rewind 2017 was pretty good. In fact, if you've watched the video before coming here, you'll know that it actually turned out to be my 2nd favourite YouTube Rewind, only behind the 2012 Rewind. People have their likes and dislikes, but mine isn't swayed by the masses, hence why I did not smash the dislike button. Though Rewind 2017 still has more likes than dislikes, it looks like it could possibly end up the same boat as Rewind 2011, if the dislikes keep coming at a rapid pace! 😰🤯 Ok, so maybe they're not coming fast enough for that to happen, but still. Wow. Should be interesting to see what 2018 will bring. Do you think they will go back to making them shorter? Will they slow down the fast paced edits? Will they include more "familiar" faces? Honestly, the latter is so subjective. While it's assumed that most people will know YouTubers like PewDiePie, Jenna Marbles, KSI and what not, there's no 100% guarantee that everyone actually does. And even if they did decide to only include the top 10 most subscribed YouTubers to make it "familiar", you'd have people complain about that too. 😏 Cannot please all the people.

Christmas Carols 2017 - Tenor Recorder

Ho, ho, hooooooo! Merry Christmas! 🎄😄🎄 This also marks the first time on YouTube, where I had to file a dispute! 😵 "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?! A dispute on Christmas?!" Some of you must saying. Yep, that's right. As soon as I uploaded the video and went into video manager, I noticed that a pop up came telling me that part of my video has audio that was done as a cover song of someone else's song! 🤯 Not sure if that emoji does enough to explain it, but seriously though?! Why was I being told that I was eligible for splitting revenue over a video, that was entirely created by me? I went in to see which part of it caused the video to be claimed. Lo and behold, it was the segment where I played We Three Kings. 🤨 Who claimed it? It was automatically claimed by Rayarmoovar/[SIDMM] Vincey productions. Who are they? A Tamil Channel that specializes in uploading Christian Music. So ok, we're all wondering why was my music claimed as copyright, despite the fact that everything was played by me from scratch, and that We Three Kings is a song that does not belong to them. This song was created by John Henry Hopkins Junior, all the way back in 1857, meaning that there is no legalities attached to it, so long as you play it yourself. I can only assume that my tenor recorder must have sounded so much like something they may have done in the past, that it caused YouTube's broken system to flag it as their music... 🤦🏾‍♂️ Ridiculous... I hope the "owners" will be reasonable and review this dispute soon, because it's not fair for me to have to split revenue for something that does not belong to them. I know, I know. For a Christmas segment, I sure sound bitter here, but I have every right to. YouTube's copyright system is something everyone's been complaining about from the dawn of ages. Now that it's personally happened to me, I can relate even more to the pain that others had to go through for even sillier and worse scenarios. Ranting aside, playing and recording these songs turned out to be much more time consuming than I anticipated, but I'm glad I did it in time before Christmas. I definitely need to start playing more tenor recorder more regularly and seriously! It shouldn't have taken me so many attempts to record a proper version of songs that were supposed to be "easy".... 😳😰😭☹ And even then, the intonation still could have been better. If I plan to learn other instruments in the future, then I'm going to need to get much more serious with my music practice and continue to review music theory. 

What's Next & Other Ramblings

Yeh, so if you managed to read through all that, you'll have the full story of what has been happening over the last 10 days or so. This time of the year always seems to be busy and hectic. Well, 2017 is about to end in 5 days, and then it will be an all-new year: 2018! What will 2018 bring? God knows... Let's just hope it will be a good one and that it will sail smoothly. Now because I do have three outdoor videos "in the queue" that I would like to edit and post, I will probably do my 2017 reflection post either at the end of it, or maybe just make it a standalone post on December 31, 2017. Depending on how things go, we'll see what happens.

December 14th Entry: The Final Horn

GuuzakaTube                                                                                                   2017-14-17

December 14th Entry: The Final Horn

Despite the "grand" title here, this entry is all but "grand" so I'm just telling you straight up. That way, you know what to expect. 😅 So as you can tell from the solo upload this week on my channel, I'll be discussing that video and then some other things like usual. Let's get to it!

Matt Doe: Commentary and Discussion

LOL is it just me, or does this drawing of him look like one of those classical musicians from the 1600s and 1700s? Well, I guess that would depend on who you ask. So yeah, I got it done and it feels like quite the accomplishment to have the Too Many Zooz trio complete. The gap from Leo to David was a rather large one, but believe it or not, I actually had intentions to get them done at a much closer interval. Of course, this did not happen, nor was I in any hurry to make it happen because I got carried away with many other things and projects. Now that it's here, you can finally cringe, cry, laugh, rejoice or run far, far, far away! ☠ Can't think of anything more I want to say about the band's trumpet player, so I guess that's it for this part. I wonder how people will react to this strange video? The Leo video is nearing 1000, while the King of Sludge is now starting to pick up a little traction. 🥧

What's Next & Other Ramblings

I was initially going to hold this upload and blog entry off until next week. Or at least, until I got that other commentary video on something else uploaded. Because it's Thursday now, there's no way that's going to happen. I figured that I would be better off uploading and posting on social media, rather than waiting to lump a batch together. So I just gave that part away, but what other videos do I plan to upload for next week? A gaming video, likely alongside the aforementioned commentary video. Speaking of games, Asphalt 8 has very recently pushed out a new update: Hot Wheels! Yay....😒 While I'm not a fan of the lame-looking Hot Wheels cars in the game, I appreciate that the Windows Phone operating system is still getting the love for this game. Seriously, that is awesome!😄 For how much longer? I don't know, but I'm just glad to see it. Gameloft has treated Windows Phone better than Microsoft when it comes onto consumer's phones! I haven't updated it yet, because I still need to see if there are any drastically unwelcome changes, like the rumored credits to token thing for instance! Thankfully, it looks like it's only new accounts created after November 13, 2017 I think. Still, that's a horrible thing to do to newcomers! I really hope enough people call them out to the point that it forces them undo that horrible move! Anyhow, that does it for this entry so I'm out now.

December 8th Entry: Breakfast Saga

GuuzakaTube                                                                                                   2017-12-07

December 8th Entry: Breakfast Saga

Yes, oh yes. Pancakes, waffles, bananas, strawberries, eggs, toast, butter, apples, cinnamon, tea, hot chocolate, coffee, cheese and cereal. Does your face look like this 😛 yet? Well, it probably does! Anyways, despite the title being called "breakfast saga" this post does not actually explore a variety of breakfast foods as the title would suggest. It's partially about a game with the namesake title of Breakfast Saga. Why did I decide to make its title represent this post? Wait, nobody cares so let's just proceed to discussing these videos!🥞🍳🍞🧀☕🥧🍎 Alright, I should probably stop the food tease now, before I make you too hungry to be in the mood for reading!🤣

Asphalt 8 Airborne: December 02 2017

So as you can tell from the not so stellar photos from above, this Asphalt 8 session was mainly about me discussing the Honda Civic Type R's Championship, and a few other bits here and there. And yes, even though they weren't fantastic, I actually raced on the tracks that I should have done from last time in this video: Dubai with the Lamborghini Gallardo, and Dubai and China for the McLaren P1. And just for fun and giggles, I also did an Enduro Double Down race with the Volkswagen Golf GTI. I do not plan on pursuing the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport. Some might think I'm crazy for not wanting to go for it, but if the Honda Civic Type R's Championship has taught me anything, it's the fact that you need to be 100% certain that you want to win that car! Having to max it out, and use a lot of boosters and tokens is a very expensive investment, unless you already have tons of boosters, credits and tokens. Speaking of Championship, Barcelona has opened up for my area and others today. I hear that others in certain regions have actually finished the Championship, since they had it start earlier for them. Don't know how true that is, but it's what I hear. Anyways! I've managed to complete all the other places so far, so I hope that I can continue with this success. The Brazilian cities that are due to open tomorrow I believe, have me a little nervous. I do not know the Brazilian tracks very well at all. It also doesn't help that the only ready access you get to all of them is in Season 9 with premium cars! Most of which exceed 1,000,000 credits, with some even shooting past 3,000,000!😰😵🤯 Ridiculous... truly ridiculous... Well, can't wait to have continuous access to a Munich track in 2-3 days from now!😎 Come to me sooner Honda Civic Type R!😄

Flappy Herbie: Trolls of the Forest

A relatively boring Flappy Bird spin-off, that sometimes randomly crashes, and requires you to pay to be able to use the female ladybug, Mollie. Not that I care about the latter, but maybe others do? Perhaps would have been better off just charging $1.99 up front and having everything unlocked, rather than making just one character cost that much. Negatives aside, you know what makes this game good? The smooth performance, good graphics, and ever so comical noises that Herbie makes whenever he crashes! 🤣😂 He sounds so goofy and dramatic! 🤡 In this game, you fly through bamboo trees, collect gems and avoid falling or crashing. That's it. No additional unlockables, shops, background changes or anything more. Some may appreciate this simplicity, others might expect a little more from a Flappy Spin-off, especially if you're coming from something like Flappy Nyan or Flappy Wings.

Elemental

Burn, extinguish and absorb as you navigate through the levels of this puzzle game with a leaf, fireball and raindrop.🍃💧🔥 That theme sounds familiar doesn't it? Though I've briefly attempted playing this game once, this would my first time recording and playing it extensively. Too bad the microphone stopped keeping up with the audio, after around 15 minutes. 😣 That's ok, because I've now updated Audacity, and will probably try a different port. Not sure which of the two is to blame here, but like I said in both this video and Breakfast Saga, I'm aware of this issue and will do what I can to try and prevent it from happening again. Anyways, how is the game? Awesome of course! It's a little difficult, but it's good fun. This game is also available on Android in the Google
Play Store. Based on the promo video that I've actually just watched, it seems like the Android version is more feature rich and may have more levels. 😏 Go figure. Fun fact: the full name of the man behind this game is Edward Alejandro Medina. 

Breakfast Saga

Breakfast Saga! This is the game that I've named the blog after. Now, originally I've said that this game is a Bejewelled spin-off, but actually mimics Candy Crush Saga more closely. Should have been obvious from the name, but wait: aren't those two games alike anyway? So maybe I wasn't wrong on that? Who knows. I'll have to play it again to refresh my memory. From the looks of Breakfast Saga 2, it resembles Candy Crush Saga even more. Kind of a bad thing, because I like the pixel graphics in this originally one that I've played for this entry. It gives it more of that tasty, warm charm, and suits its character. That's not to say that I don't like the sharp, cartoony graphics in its successor, but just prefer the aesthetics of this game better. Anyhow, this game was deliciously fun! 😋🍰🍩🍪🧀🥐🍞🍳

What's Next & Other Ramblings

Boy, the December 2017 Audacity sure looks different in terms of colours! I haven't updated Audacity for years, so I've been used to the look from 5+ years ago. After finally updating it, the dark blue-grey theme and restyled icons came as a great surprise to me. Still, everything is familiar thankfully, but just visually different, so the worry didn't last too long. Like I've said in previous entries, quality does matter a lot to me, so when I saw the audio not syncing precisely, even when it was lined up right, I knew something was up. I still don't really know if it's Audacity, the Blue Snowball or both. I decided to give Audacity an upgrade, so I hope that will help. If not, I will just have to use my Nokia Lumia 1520 to capture the sounds for my BlackBerry 10 gaming videos. If you've seen my Eyebert video I've done back in November, you'll know that they're very good, but obviously not as good as something like a Blue Microphone Yeti. About that commentary I was supposed to upload this week...😅 I did not get the chance to work on it at all this week. 😐 As a result, you may likely see it between the December 11-15 period instead. No absolute guarantee, but that should give you a rough idea. Oh, snap! I still haven't uploaded any instrumental Christmas carols yet! 🎄 Hmmmm... I'll have to try not to forget about that. Once again, there will be no outdoor videos for this weekend, because I won't be able to get them done this weekend. Now I don't think there's anything more I have to say, so I'm out. Actually yes: I'm a fan of the new emojis that the new Fall Windows 10 update brought, but I'm not a fan of the clunkier performance, and lack of actual improvements. Maybe I haven't explored it thoroughly enough, but if Microsoft could at least release an update that actually brings smoother performance, then that would be awesome! And whatever Microsoft plans to bring to the mobile game in 2018 or 2019, let's actually hope that they advertise their devices properly, and make them available on all major carriers in the United States of America and Canada! Do not carelessly abandon your own operating system so soon and just ignore users blatantly! Release yearly flagships, mid-rangers, and budget-rangers to keep people interested and afloat! Why did I have to type that up so boldly? To emphasize the serious flaws that Microsoft made with Windows Phones, that's why.
