Youtube News: Youtube daily report w Jun 18 2017

Recently Nintendo made some big statements on their localisation practises, in particular,

for Xenoblade Chronicles X and the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

In these statements, Nintendo of America's company president, highlighted how there are

a simple collection of words that they use to define how they tackle localisation - these

being "cultural relevance" and "understanding of the ratings and ratings implications".

Now, the rest of the article explains how Nintendo likes to try and keep in mind what

can be seen as offensive outside of Japan and explains that this is the reason that

games like Xenoblade Chronicles X had various changes made to them.

They also comment that the original Japanese creators work with the localisation teams

during this process and have their full consent.

For example, Monolith Studio's CEO tells a story about Xenoblade Chronicle X's breast

slider, a character creation feature that you may recall was removed outside of Japan.

To quote: "There was a discussion about the breast slider.

Jokingly, I said, 'Well would it help if we had a crotch slider for the male?'

Obviously it was a joke, but [Nintendo] responded obviously it's not gonna work out.

I do realize there's a cultural difference between what Japanese people think and what

the rest of the world thinks."

You may have notice that both company presidents mentioned the different countries' cultures,

with Reggie also using a term called "cultural relevance".

Now, Censored Gaming has spoken about something similar in the past and felt that now would

be a good time to a take a full in-depth look at a popular term that's used today in the

video game industry... this term being "culturalization".

For this video my main source will be taken directly from the International Game Developers

Association, which is a non-profit professional association for over 12,000 video game developers

worldwide.

I'd like to draw your attention towards a guide that the organisation has made publicly

available from 2012, titled "Best Practices for Game Localization".

The intro reads: "This is the second draft of a "Best Practices"

or "How To" guide for the translation and culturalization of video game content.

It is a compilation of suggestions by people who have had years of experience in the field,

all members of the IGDA Game Localization SIG.

The aim is to help new-comers learn the trade, as well as to offer insights into tricks and

tips that even more experienced localization staff can adapt and apply to their future

projects."

So right of the bat, notice the use of the term "culturalization".

Scrolling down to the contents, you'll notice that localisation is only one of these categories

and that the guide begins and devotes a whole section to "culturalization".

The localisation section goes into the typical localisation work that you'll be most familiar

with.

It describes aspects such as translation, voice recording and the quality assurance

process and outlines various best practises, like making sure there is at least one editor

for every 3 translators when tackling Asian languages and for every 4 translators with

European languages.

It appears to be a pretty helpful guide and it offers an interesting look at what goes

on behind the scenes when localising our favourite games.

However, back to culturalization, the website GamingIndustryIQ has a really precise straight

to the point definition for this industry term.

To quote: "More recently, the term 'culturalization'

has risen in popularity.

More than simply translating the game, this is the science of inspecting dialogue, imagery

– even actions, for things that may cause offense to particular markets or cultures."

Recalling Nintendo's earlier comments, this sounds very much like the process that was

described there and how their approach to localisation also aims to adapt any possibly

offensive themes for other cultures.

Bringing things to the guide again, now, whilst we could go through all of the pages here,

somebody recently tweeted me this summary, highlighting some specific points of interest.

"Culturalization ensures that gamers will not be disengaged by a piece of content that

is considered incongruent or even offensive in the game's environment."

"Cultural mistakes often prove to be costly for game developers and publishers – not

just the loss of potential revenue but the greater effects of negative public relations,

damage to corporate image, and strained relations with the local government.

In the worst-case, a local government may not only ban the game but take more direct

action against the company, including detainment of local personnel for questioning and even

incarceration."

The guide goes on, talking about different types of "problematic content" and you may

have already read a little faster and on to these yourself.

Let's fast forward through the guide though and onto some specific examples taken from

popular games.

Page 26 contains "APPENDIX 2 - CULTURALIZATION EXAMPLES" and one of the biggest games mentioned

is perhaps Capcom's Resident Evil 5 from 2009.

The guide reads: "Even before its release, this title generated

significant negative publicity due to its perceived racism.

In the game, the clean cut, white Caucasian protagonist is seen roaming through a village

in sub-Saharan Africa and gunning down unarmed, obviously impoverished African villagers.

While the publisher Capcom was quick to show that the African villagers were infected zombies,

the stark imagery of a white man killing black villagers evoked powerfully negative imagery.

Notions of the "great white hunter", the "dark continent of Africa" and so forth

quickly came to mind for many people.

While the developers had a clear rationale for the conflict within the game's context,

the backlash provided ample reason for a publisher to pause and question if mimicking that kind

of negative imagery is appropriate."

I'd just like to highlight again that this is a guide direct from the International Game

Developers Association on "Best Practices for Game Localization".

This is just one of many possible examples of what could be seen as "offensive" content

and with the evidence presented here, along with statements such as Nintendo's on their

localisation of Xenoblade Chronicles, it seems that some localisers are incorporating aspects

of culturalization into their localisation work.

I invite you all to research this yourself.

All sources will be contained in the description and this is a very real industry term that

you can easily Google yourself.

But let's not finish there.

Let's take one more look at the guide and a few conclusions that it makes.

Under the Culturalization section is a summary stating:

"Create the game you want to create, but don't forget the global, multicultural audience

who will be participating in your vision, and hopefully enjoying it without any cultural

disruption.

Well-executed culturalization within a development cycle isn't turnkey; it takes time to implement

successfully.

However, the benefits to a company's content quality, government relations, and public

image amongst local gamers will prove to be a valuable long-term investment."

Additionally, at the very end of the guide is this final conclusion.

"This is a living document that will continue to be updated as needed.

While this isn't intended to be the definitive guide to game localization, it is meant to

be the groundwork that will inspire people to adapt the concepts to their project's

needs, and boost the overall quality of game localization worldwide."

Whilst culturalization isn't a new term to Censored Gaming, in response to recent events,

I feel now would be an appropriate time to really start to using this industry standard

term where appropriate.

For example, instead of mentioning "localisation" in some cases it could be better to talk about

"culturalization" and this is something you may start to notice in future videos.

As always, Censored Gaming is committed to creating the definitive resource for censorship,

as well as coverage of things seen as related to the "censorship discussion" as a whole.

Culturalization, the removal of things perceived to be offensive during localisation, is seen

as very much a part of Censored Gaming's mission statement.

And so any changes made to past, present and future games due to this reason is something

you'll be sure to be able to find reported right here on Censored Gaming.

Until next time, thank you for watching.

like an attempt to learn the language by myself not obligated by someone and

it was pretty good but I didn't have a motivation to continue so I gave up

vloggers, maybe they are the most known because I don't know I will Google them

understand where a word is ending and where the another word is starting you

don't get anything it's like like a whole bunch of stuff you know

like no problem no problem guys is it

guys, you see me how excited I am when I recognize a word

how you say that?

and I like how you pronounce letter R in English it's like *** in French it's like ***

and in German it's like a combination of those two you know *** I can't do that

proud of it you can applause yourself let's applaud him and also if you know

this guy you can tag him somewhere somewhen I don't know the

next vlogger will be Dagi Bee

bit familiar to me is "iluzione" and that's all

per phrase but I don't get anything. I like the way she gestures with her

fingers

I think she's very popular

if there's so many news and articles and videos about her and yeah she's doing a

very good job but not for me cause I don't understand any word maybe some words

okay guys that was enough for me for today it was so weird to watch

foreign videos in a foreign language the most interesting for me was the first

A impressionante EQM do Lucas 1de3 | Lucas's awesome NDE 1of3 - Duration: 32:39.

Hi guys,

be welcome to another video of "AFTER ALL, WHAT ARE WE?".

Today, we will know the story of Lucas Olles,

who, at the age of 19,

had a stroke, followed by a seizure, followed by a cardiac arrest, followed by another stroke.

His story is deep, impressive and full of details..,

The interview was divided into three parts.

With you ... the first part.

Good afternoon, Luke ...

We are here today to listen to your Near Death Experience,

the experience that you went through.

First, however, I would like you to identify yourself, and say something about yourslf,

and then please tell us the experience you had.

My name is Lucas Olles ...

Today I work with culture, entertainment ... theatrical play ...

and my NDE took place on September 27th, 2005, when I was 19,

that's when I had two strokes.

At 19 no one expects to have two ischemic strokes, isn't it?

In an area that rarely occurs this kind of problem.

Apparently everything was normal, on that day, an average day ...

I was happy, joyful ... smiling ...

and so I went to work.

My job was a little stressful, but nothing out of the ordinary ...

and... I had the first stroke ...

it was around 6 PM.

What did you have exactly, what did you feel?

I was feeling very at a certain point ...

and... suddenly, I felt a very strong pain in the nape.

a very strong pain in the right side of the nape ...

... and the next moment I felt ...

the right side of my body deadening ...

I could not control it ...

and this side began to pull, I felt the members pulling ... my leg and my arm.

As I was at work, I thought, "Oh, it must be a malaise, a common headache" ...

and ... I just kept going ... despite this situation was getting worse, very fast ...

to the point where I could not speak anymore.

You couldn't speak, then?

I couldn't.

I couldn't speak and I felt as if my mouth was under dentist's anesthesia.

That's more or less what happened.

At one point I lost consciousness ... at work.

I woke up much time later.

Were you taken to the hospital unconscious?

Yes, unconscious ... unconscious.

I got help from some friends inside the company ...

that took me to the lobby ... my mother had already been warned, she was already there ...

and I was taken to the hospital.

Already unconscious.

And there, by examination, they found that you had a stroke?

I was immediately hospitalized ...

And ... I went through CT scans, through electros ...

and the stroke was then identified... in a really internal area... of the brain ... on the left side.

An ischemic stroke.

Eight hours after I was admitted I had a very strong convulsion ...

My mother had just entered the ICU ...

when I had this seizure, followed by a cardio-respiratory arrest.

and that's when I had a second stroke.

As a result of the first,

according to... what the doctors reported me.

That's when I died.

Was it during this second stroke that you had your experience?

Yes.

Lucas, how was it when you became aware that you were ...

living this new sensation, this near-death experience?

From the moment of the loss of consciousness until...

the moment of... seizure, followed by cardio-respiratory arrest...

I do not recall.

As if it were a sleep without memories, a dreamless sleep.

But from the moment I had the cardiorespiratory arrest ...

I woke up...

outside the body.

I woke up out of the body.

I woke up in a corner of the ICU ...

looking at my body.

I was in an ICU corner and I could see ...

I saw myself having the cardio-respiratory arrest, I saw all the reaction of the medical staff ...

of the nurses, doctors, my mother being taken from the ICU ...

the nurse going up in bed and doing ...

the resuscitation procedures ...

doctors ... arriving and all the events ... that are normal in this type of occurrence ...

and I then I realized and said "I died."

I remember perfectly my thought there, "I died."

"I died."

That's how I passed through this ...

and with a very solid view of everything.

This experience ... this feeling ... this realization of being dead,

did it cause you ... some feeling of ... fright ... alarm?

No.

or fear?

No.

No?

No ... no ... no.

To be honest,

- it is one thing I always tell and people laugh -

I thought, "wow, how ugly our body is."

When you saw your body you had that impression?

Ugly. Very ugly.

I had no negative feelings, I had no impression like, "oh my God, what now?"

Because immediately I was overwhelmed by a feeling of ...

peace ... of ...

It is very difficult to find words to explain what was happening.

I was overcome by a feeling of ...

continuity. And not of an end.

And then I ... watching myself ...

In the ICU corner, watching my body there going through all the clinical procedure ...

I felt a flash ...

I saw a ... a ...

it's as if it were a big ...

vortex of light ... white ...

I found myself being taken, as if I were in a...

in a fall of the roller coaster, the first fall, which is more ...

- You felt being quickly attracted? - But going up.

Yes. Very fast.

No sound at all. Only light ... only light.

Always with this feeling ... a positive feeling.

Then I...

I do not know if I can say that I woke up somewhere because I do not remember having slept ...

during this going process.

But I ... at some point ...

I remember opening my eyes and being in another place.

a place ...

very different ... very different.

And it was no longer the ICU, or the hospital ...?

I believe it was no longer here.

And what memory do you have of this place?

I have memories ...

actually...

very solid ones.

The main issue that somewhat prevents me from detailing is the issue of time.

It's hard to say how long I was there.

I can not measure.

I remember that I woke up on a white platform ...

with about five centimeters high...

white ... in a lawn ...

and there was a ...

a person ... a person ... by my side ... there ...

which I could not see very clearly the face.

But I knew who was that person.

And that moment was the first time that I understood ...

or that I had a contact with the experience ... of understanding ...

that there was a full consciousness there ... collective...

because I couldn't really see the person but I knew who the person was.

And it was my maternal grandmother,

who died, I think, fifteen years before I was born.

And she said, "calm."

"Be at peace ... everything is okay."

"I came here to get you."

"It's all right."

Then I got up ...

I do not remember talking ...

with her...

but I remember several things she told me at that moment.

She said, "you're here ... you will not stay here ..."

"You're here but you will not stay."

"You will return..."

"You're only going to stay here for a while."

"While you are here ... '

"We'll talk for a bit and I'll show you a little how it is here."

I was not scared, I was not ...

in any time ...

scared or with ... some kind of ...

negative feeling.

Quite the opposite.

I had a feeling of ...

the expression ... after all these years ... that I am able to think, to imagine...

to try to describe some of what is there is something called ...

that I call collective consciousness.

There is no individual.

There is no individual ... What exists is ...

Everyone is interconnected.

As if all were ...

one thing, really.

Then she took me ... we strolled around a little, somewhere, in this big open space ....

It looked like a park ...

there was a large grove on the left side with tall trees ...

and a lake on the same left side, really big ... I could not see the other shore, the end of the lake ...

It was a large lake ...

and there were people ... many people in groups ...

scattered in this field...

and some of them were wearing ...

what seemed to be togas... white...

and all talking to each other, all with a smile on the face...

all... those groups there, people sort of dressing in a similar way, their clothes ...

and she told me that what I went through, what I was going through there ...

it was something that I had to go through, I had chosen to go through ...

she said that it is common ... this sort of thing ...

she said, "here is life"...

"here is the place where people live" ...

and that I would return soon ...

and I had to return ... and tell.

Multiply this experience.

Then at that moment I remember ...

to be walking ... although I tried to look down and I didn't see me ... I did not see my body ...

I remember keep walking with her ...

by the lake ...

I think it was a lake ...

I don't think it was an ocean ...

It was a lake with a very calm water ...

I remember trying to look at the sky ...

to look up ... and there was no sky.

There was nothing.

All white.

A white of a very bright light ...

and I thought: "wow ..."

I remember perfectly thinking, "wow, how beautiful it is here."

and I remember asking her ...

by the answer she gave me ... I believe I asked her if it was just us who were there.

I believe that the connotation of the question was that because she responded, "No".

"There are many here."

Then I got a little ...

Then we kept walking ...

There was a moment when we passed alongside another group ...

a very large group ... about thirty people gathered there, sitting on the floor ...

and one standing ...

seeming to be teaching ... talking there ...

getting a lot of attention from people ...

and she...

when we passed by this large group, he (the standing person) waved... to me ...

then all looked at me and smiled.

At this moment I felt much ...

heat...

many...

many good things...

nourishing ...

and a very strong heat.

Then I remember ... flashes ... of places ...

all within this park, in quotes, this open area ...

I remember seeing some things ... her voice ...

I remember seeing how is the ...

the connection between those beings ...

who were on that other side ...

until she took me back ... we turned around ...

in a place full of flowers ... many flowers, many flowers ...

and she took me back to this platform, this big square of wood ...

I think it's wood ... white ...

and she said, "now you will return."

"Everything will be all right."

"Do not worry ... do not be afraid ..."

"You will go back and everything will be OK."

"But do not forget. It is here that we live."

"Here is the natural place for us to be."

"Go back and tell."

One of the things my grandmother said is ...

"All you're learning here, everything that you see ..."

"Use for good. Report, tell, and use for good."

"Use for good."

Later, I understood, long after the return I understood ...

what would be this "good".

She didn't send any message to anyone ...

That's when I felt a little fear.

I believe I didn't want to return.

Maybe a little because of the last picture I'd seen of my body.

You were shocked by that image, isn't it?

I think I didn't want to return to that place where those things were happening ... because of the last thing I saw.

Then I felt a little fear ... I was maybe afraid.

And do you remember approaching to your body in the ICU?

I remember ... I do ...

Did you come with her? Did she come along with you?

No, no, she took me to this ... this platform on the ground ...

I remember lying on it ...

and then I had again that feeling of falling ...

very strong.

Very strong.

The example of the roller coaster is just perfect.

and then I woke up, in a very strong impact.

But I did wake up a long time after ... my cardio-respiratory arrest.

You got to be intubated?

I woke up at the moment I was being intubated.

With a lot of white heads on top of me ...

I looked up and they said, "Lucas ... are you okay? Lucas, blink... blink..."

And days had passed thus far

A few days.

I do not think I came back the same.

Did you change ... after the experience?

Some things.

Can you talk about that?

I believe that what has changed the least was physically ...

you come back with a different view of the world ...

... of wider boundaries ...

you understand that there is something there ...

that not necessarily religion or science explains ...

And what about the fear of death?

None.

Completely disappeared?

Nothing ... nothing ... nothing, nothing, nothing ...

It is a breath ...

I believe it is welcome at some moment.

I would like to know, Lucas, how long after waking up in bed,

after understanding that you were admitted ... in a serious situation,

how long after did you have the memory of the near-death experience?

Immediately.

- It was right away? You woke up there and saw that... - Immediately.

- ... you were again in a new situation ... - Immediately.

Immediately.

I remember waking up with the doctors ...doing ... starting this intubation procedure ...

and then a doctor told me: "Lucas, you had ... a stroke ..."

"serious..."

"I do not know if you are understanding me. If you're aware, blink ..."

But, at that moment, I had the recent memory of having passed through ...

that experience with my grandmother ...

with those people in that place ...

and I wanted to talk.

I woke up very nervous and wanting to talk, but I couldn't...

I was ... I was very ill ... I had my mouth ...

displaced, unable to speak.

I went back to talking ... months later.

So Lucas, as I understand it, you had a cerebral ischemia, a stroke ...

you were diagnosed through exams ... you went to ICU ...

in the ICU you had a seizure ...

and then a cardiac arrest.

So my question is:

In which of these clinical moments do you think your experience began?

The Near-Death Experience.

Was it after the seizure? Was it at the beginning of the stroke?

I found myself in the ICU corner ... when I was having the seizure ...

Understand.

having the convulsion ... all that lurch in the body to the front, back ...

the attitude of the nurses, the doctors ...

trying to control ...

and then shortly thereafter ...

the cardio-respiratory arrest and consequently the procedures ...

also not nice to be seen, of resuscitation ...

Did you watch it all?

I did. But right after ...

I did not finish seeing ... I remember seeing a nurse almost climbing on the bed ...

to do some massage ... something in my chest ...

and then I had the experience.

Were you already being drawn to the light, as you said?

Yes...yes...

From a clinical point of view, what you are telling is absolutely perfect and very well known ...

in neurology.

The cardiac arrest after a seizure.

This is the most frequent cause of death in epilepsy.

The epileptic has a seizure, which leads to a violent electrical shock in the brain ..

which can lead to a cardiac arrhythmia or cardiac arrest, which is what you had.

Fortunately you were ... Fortunately or unfortunately, Lucas, have you been revived?

In the first moments after ...

the return, I would say unfortunately.

Because the return wasn't easy.

- The return? - Yes.

It was not easy.

Do you have any recollection of how is this return?

Did you plunge into your body as you dive into a swimming pool?

That's it, the example is perfect. It is the fall of a roller coaster.

And this return, this entry in the body hurts the body... a bit.

It hurts.

You mean a physical suffering ...?

Yes. It's very difficult because ...

I was in a place, on a level, where you do not feel pain.

Not at all.

You do not have...

Suffering of any kind?

Nothing.

And suddenly, to enter the body, you enter with pain?

Feeling pain?

Imagine through what I did pass there ...

so many needles, so many tests ...

Six catheterizations ...

CSF collection column? ... I lost count ...

Is very difficult.

And I always willing to talk, to report, to tell ... "Hey, I'm...", to scream ...

"There is another side, there is another place ..." And I could not ... my mouth was here.

It was displaced, I could not speak ... I babbled ...

That was when the brain ... could connect the person with the name.

It took a while for me to ... know who was who.

Do you think you regained consciousness ... in your body, so to speak ...

when you were still intubated or not?... The tube had already been removed from you? ...

Do you remember that?

I remember hearing everything.

- All the talk with the doctors? - All the talk. Everything.

And I screamed inside myself: "I'm here, I'm here, I'm here."

I remember everything. I remember the nurse running his hand on my forehead, I remember my mother ...

Although I was...

in quotes, unconscious ...

as the doctors say, "he is unconscious," ... but I was aware, I was hearing everything ...

All the talk of the doctors ... the noise of the hospital...

everything.

Lucas, I would like to clarify a point that is as follows:

There are two possibilities within the experience ...

the possibility of hearing everything because you're ... with the consciousness out of the body ...

during the NDE ...

or the possibility that you are actually there, present, in the physical body...

without sedative, already awake and listening to everything.

I believe that is the second option.

The second?

Yes, because I remember ... returning to the body ...

having... this shock ...

and waking up inside the body ...

Okay.

and the body ... sleeping ... the body turned off.

And you were conscious?

I was fully conscious.

And who was taking care of you probably did not have that perception.

No, no, no ... I remember that ...

I remember my mother ...

saying that I was in bed like a ...

vegetable ... a person in a coma for a long time ...

Without any reaction ...

Without any reaction ... none.

But totally connected to what was happening in my surroundings.

I remember sleeping inside my ...

within this ... this ... this state ... I remember sleeping ...

and waking up ... inside my body ... that was turned off.

It is very strange trying to explain.

I remember ... people running a hand on me...

and saying, "hey, what a handsome boy ... almost died ... no one knows if he will come back ..."

I remember my mother crying ... I remember my relatives arriving ...

they stayed just a short time ... I think it was not a good thing to see ...

and left ...

I remember the nurses taking care of me ...

In a level of consciousness that was not yet detected ...

by the doctors ... and by the equipment ...?

Not yet.

And is it different from the consciousness you had when you were out of the body?

Totally.

- Is it something else? - Totally, totally.

Consciousness in the body is greatly reduced.

- And out is it expanded? - Universal.

Did you had a feeling of oneness with the universe?

The hardest thing for me to explain is this...

idea of collective... of universal consciousness.

- Were you part of a whole? Was that the impression? - Yes, of a whole.

I felt a little of what my mother was feeling here ...

of what ... my friends were feeling here ...

of what people who I didn't know were feeling here ... and not just here ...

I could...

It is very hard to explain.

It's as if I had a connection with each person.

Here... and there.

So when people waved to me, smiled to me ...

I felt their sincerity and their joy at seeing me there.

But also, very distantly, I felt the sadness ... of my mother here, for example.

So based on this ...

on this feeling, I believe there is a very strong connection between who is there with who is here.

Very strong.

Despite being so far away, it still exists.

You started to say something about the changes that happened ...

in your way of seeing things in the world from the experience you had ...

We talked about the fear of death that you said that disappeared ...

- It's gone. - It doesn't exist anymore, right?

It disappeared completely.

Some people, Luke, say they have developed some features that they didn't have before ...

Do you think this happened to you? Did you develop any different thing?

I believe so.

You do believe?

I believe because I experience it all the time.

What exactly do you experience?

Some...

in some moments of my routine ...

this routine that we have here ...

physical, material routine ...

somewhat futile ... when compared to ...

the place where I've been ...

in some moments I have...

contact with there.

With there. I have contact with that place.

And with who is there.

Not that I go there.

But people from there come here.

You feel this.

And didn't this happen before?

No.

Lucas, are you religious?

No.

- No... - Don't you attend any religion at all?

I attend a few.

I attend a few but ...

if I tell you that I interpret all that I went through and still go through ...

as something religious I will be lying ... I don't ... it's not possible for me.

Because it is almost part of the ...

part of life, part of ... the routine ... so ... I don't need ...

to go to a religious sphere ...

to understand what is happening because ...

for me ... it is physical, is palpable, that place exists, that's where we all really live ...

that place is the common, that's where we have to go back ... to stay there, because that place is our place ...

and, at times, some people from there, some beings from there ...

for some reason ... they come here and get in touch.

I do not understand this as something religious.

Because I think the religion creates a distance.

In order to explain we have to ... get away, to get in touch with ...

I don't need this.

And this contact you are referring to is something new for you, isn't it? Before that you had none of this, right?

No, I didn't have ... Nothing, nothing.

Think ... nineteen years ...

- Far from it...? - Far from it.

The last thing you want to connect or have contact with is the impalpable.

The only known person you saw was your grandmother, or was there anyone else known?

That I could identify, only my grandmother.

Only your grandmother, isn't it?

And... Some ...

some...

some beings from there, they are are not possible to be identified.

While you were there, you had a clear perception of them?

Yes.

But you could not know who was each one?

No, no.

Nor even in the case of the one who signaled to your grandmother?

I believe that the sign was to me.

- To you? - To me.

No.

Not even in his case?

Maybe not now ...

maybe I cannot say who was him ... now.

But when I was there ...

Yes.

You hinted, Luke, that the issue of time is also something that ...

you didn't have...

At that time there ... the notion of time you had was...?

Zero.

No notion at all?

Some people who have had an experience similar to yours ...

say that at first they saw a kind of film ... of their own life passing by quickly.

You didn't have it, did you?

Not even a slight scene.

No?

Nothing nothing nothing...

it was all very fast...

very fast ... I do not remember ... no, no.

perhaps because I was only nineteen, and I knew so little yet ...

But you were very emphatic in saying that the sensation was good ...

- Very good. - You felt well-being ...

and pleasure.

Did that give you joy?

Pleasure is a good word.

Not only because of the beauty of the place ...

not only because of the people ... or because I was with my grandmother, that I didn't know ...

but because of the sensations.

You know when you make a long, long journey, and you come home?

Better than this.

Were you aware that this was a supernatural thing?

Or at least out of the ordinary?

Out of the ordinary ... out of the ordinary.

No doubt about it?

At the time of my ... of my convulsion ...

I thought ... "oops ..."

"I died".

At that moment I thought that.

It was the only time I thought ...

"Someone was right ..."

During my experience ...

when communication was established ...

as I said, I didn't see my body, I looked ... in quotes ... down and saw nothing ...

I didn't see, didn't see ... mouths move, nothing, nothing.

Yes, you said you could not even identify her...

The communication had to do with this idea of connection ...

As if it were a telepathy?

Yes... exactly.

You don't need to have...

No, no, no ...

any verbalization ... or to listen ...

Exactly ... and...in the groups ...

that were gathered there ...

that seemed to be ... in a class, or something like that ...

no one spoke.

Didn't you hear any sound?

No.

Not even in the communication with your grandmother?

No, no, no.

But I remember her voice.

Lucas, you spoke of a white platform, in a certain moment ...

some people with similar experiences say that ...

they were conducted to a certain place ...

you described it very well ... a lake, a kind of woods ...

but that there is a limit ...

which you should not exceed ...

Yes.

- Did you had this sensation ... there ... in that place? - Yes ... yes ... yes ...

- You too... - Yes.

The complete certainty that there was more.

Don't miss watching the next part of this interview, it's awesome.

Lucas even speaks of other forms of life.

10 Things to do in Nuremberg, Germany travel guide - Duration: 10:20.

Well hello from Nuremberg, Germany!

Hallo.

So we are here for a couple of days without much of an itinerary.

The plan is just to wander around and see what we find.

Yeah, I guess we're going to try and pack in as much as we can in just 2 days and the

nice thing is that a lot of the attractions and things to do seem to be concentrated in

the center.

Yes.

So that will make it really easy.

We're just going to be doing a lot of walking and randomly stopping off in different places.

Alright, let's get started.

Let's do it.

We started our day by taking the U-bahn to the centre of town and getting off at Lorenzkirche.

This put us on the south bank of the Pegnitz River, where we took the opportunity to browse

some markets before visiting St Lorenz Church.

This is a beautiful gothic church complete with pointed vaults, stained glass windows,

and sculptures.

They regularly put on concerts where you can listen to classical music played on one of

the largest organs in Europe, but we were only there to catch a glimpse of the inside.

From there we walked across one of the city's many bridges and continued on to the Beautiful

Fountain (yes, that's the name), searching for a bit of good luck.

So right now we're at Schoener Brunnen and apparently there is a gold ring that we can

spin for good luck.

And I have walked around this whole tower and I can't find the ring.

So we're going around again looking for it.

We found it.

A local had to point it out but there is the ring.

You spin it 3 times for good luck.

Oh my gosh that was the hardest ring to ever find.

It does not look gold.

Needle in a haystack.

Really!

We walked around in circles for 5 minutes.

Okay, I think you've done it like 10 times.

That is plenty of luck.

One of Nuremberg's most famed attractions is the Imperial Castle located in the northwest

end of the Old Town.

The castle is a testament to the power of the Holy Roman Empire during the middle ages,

and it is made up of numerous buildings.

Wandering the complex itself is free of charge.

We are going up the tower.

Up the tower to the top of the castle.

Ooh.

And it appears these will definitely be the best views in the entire city.

Okay, so you can get three different types of tickets.

We paid 3.50 Euros each.

And this gives us access to the tower which we are going to climb for some views and later

we're also going to be visiting this really deep well and there is going to be a demonstration.

Yeah.

But for now let's start climbing.

So what we ended up skipping was the museum right?

The museum.

Sam is not a fan of museums.

Well, I didn't exactly see you super keen to go either.

Haha.

So I'd say those views were worth it.

Views were amazing.

It wasn't so bad of a climb actually.

No.

Like it is not that tiring.

It is not tiring and also the steps seem quite modern.

They are nice and wide.

Normally when we climb up a tower it is like these dark and the steps are like tiny.

Yeah.

Yeah but it was cool and you get 360 degree views once you reach the top.

So you get see all of the rooftops and the little cobbled streets so yeah that was good.

Indeed, and next up we're going to be viewing a demonstration.

What is that all about?

So we're going to see a well.

A water well.

Apparently it is really deep and they light some candles and send them down.

So yeah, that is next.

Let's go check that out.

One of the most important buildings within the castle complex is the well house, which

dates back to 1563 and houses the Deep Well.

The well is 50 meters deep, and to show how deep that really is, they put on an impressive

demonstration.

Wait for it…

(Slashing noise)

So we are now having a wander through the castle gardens.

Sam, oh King Sam.

Come tell us about your gardens.

My gardens are majestic and only I may enter.

Actually one of the coolest things is that this place hasn't been overcrowded especially

this garden section.

There have actually been certain areas where we've been the only people.

So that is pretty cool.

Yeah, and we didn't have to pay to get in.

It is free.

It is a weekday.

It is a Wednesday so come on a weekday.

And we couldn't come all the way to Nürnberg and not try the famed Nuremberger sausage!

We went to Bratwursthäusle, right in the heart of the Old Town by St Sebaldus Church.

And this is what it looks like.

The food is already here.

And it is cooked right in the middle of the restaurant.

It is an open kitchen so you can watch them prepare it.

We got to watch them do that.

Yeah, and it is six.

Six to a plate.

But you know what?

It usually comes in 6, 8, 10 or 12.

And you can get 3 different side dishes with it.

We ordered sauerkraut.

Yeah, and then we also ordered an extra side of potato salad because we couldn't make up

our mind.

They both sounded so so good.

Over here.

Yeah.

And you can also just get it with horseradish.

So we've come a long way for this very special sausage.

Yeah.

So what makes it so unique?

Well what makes it so unique is that it is basically its configurations.

It has to be between.

Configurations?

Isn't that mathematical.

Between 7 to 9 centimeters.

Yeah.

And it weigh between 20 to 25 grams.

Yeah.

These are not small.

You cannot deviate from that.

Oh no.

Because then it is not authentic.

Exactly.

And apparently it is also seasoned with marjoram which isn't a spice I'm really familiar with.

I'm not quite sure what it tastes like.

Time for that very first bite.

Yep.

In he goes.

The famed Nuremberg sausage.

Will it disappoint?

Wow.

No?

No.

It is good?

That is one of the best sausages I've ever had.

Like that is just so good.

we had to get dessert after we saw it on the menu.

Haha.

If you'd like to hear some more horrible German.

We got Apfelstrudel mit vanilla sauce un sanne.

I believe that apple strudel.

Hahaha.

With vanilla sauce and cream so here we go.

Here we go.

It looks nice.

Look at that.

So we've got some icing sugar on top it would seem.

Oh, the sauce is warm.

I can feel the heat rising off of the plate.

Let's see.

Let's try that.

Oh, the icing sugar blew away.

And?

Mmmmm.

Hmmmhmm.

Hits the spot?

And it is quite good.

Later that afternoon we went into Nuremberg's deep underground on a tour of the historic

beer cellars.

Nürnberg has been a beer brewing city for centuries, and sometime around the year 1380,

a building law was passed stating that everyone who was brewing beer in their house, had to

have a cellar ten feet deep and sixteen feet wide.

This is not meant for tall people.

I'm okay.

Sam not so much.

Mister Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Yeah, exactly.

The Hunchback of Nuremberg.

Brost.

So finishing the tour with some red beer.

That looks quite frothy.

Aaah.

That is nice.

That is going down well this time of day.

What time is it?

It is 3pm. 3pm.

I'm ready for some beer.

While in town, we also took a walk down Weißgerbergasse, which may just be one of the prettiest streets

in Nuremberg.

The street's name translates to White Tanner's Lane since this was home to the workshops

of craftsmen specializing in leather goods.

So we are currently doing an audio tour of Albrecht Durer's home.

I've got my audioset.

Sam, declined so let's go in.

Albrecht Dürer's one time home is now a museum dedicated to his life and work.

He was a German Renaissance artist across many mediums, but he is best known for revolutionizing

printmaking and elevating it as an art form.

At certain times of day, they offer a guided tour with an actress who plays the role of

Agnes Dürer, the artist's wife.

We have found a Canada Goose.

That goose is Canadian 100%.

Goose, come say hello.

Come say eh.

So here is a fun challenge if you're traveling in Nuremberg.

Try and see how many beautiful bridges you can find because we've crossed a lot today.

Yeah, and I keep asking you Audrey is this it.

Is this the special bridge.

Is this the bridge that we've been looking for?

And there has just been so many amazing ones and apparently not.

So we're still on the hunt for it.

The bridge we were looking for is the Heilig-Geist-Spital, or the Holy Spirit Hospital.

It's not a bridge in the usual sense of the word, rather a medieval building that

sits across part of the Pegnitz River.

On a more serious note, we couldn't leave Nürnberg without also visiting the Dokuzentrum,

also known as the The Documentation Center Nazi Party Rallying Grounds.

Today the unfinished Congress Hall, which was meant to hold 50,000 people, houses a

museum with a permanent exhibition titled Fascination and Terror.

The museum looks at the rise of national socialism, the mass events used for Nazi propaganda,

and the aftermath we are all too familiar with.

You can reach the museum by taking tram # 9 to the Doku-Zentrum from the Hauptbahnhof.

And that's a wrap for a our guide to Nuremberg, Germany.

As you can see, it would be easy to cover most of the main sights on a day trip, though

you may want to give yourself two days to scratch a bit beyond the surface.

If you have any other suggestions of cool things to do in Nuremberg, feel free to share

those with fellow travellers in the comments below.

In the meantime, wishing you happy travels and see you next time!
