Youtube daily report Oct 24 2017

Greetings, Earthlings!

Welcome to the Madqueen Show, I am your host the Madqueen

And Mr Ruvver

On today's menu, we are going to talk about the microtransactions in gaming

As we know, in these past years, microtransactions have become a thing in video gaming

Paying more for a game you already paid 60 euros for

Microtransaction is a business model where users can purchase virtual goods via micropayments

You can find two types of games where you can find these micropayments: free-to-play

games, and premium games

What you can get via microtransactions may vary depending on the game, ranging from aesthetic

items that do not affect your gameplay or pay to win assets, that gives you an edge

and advantages over other players that have not invested real money

South Korean developers Nexon started Free-to-Play business model back in 1999 with QuizQuiz

In this trivia-game, you win in-game currency that allows you to buy items to make your

avatar look cool or pay-to-win sunglasses that made you have an advantage in a true-false game

The first case of microtransactions in a AAA game was in Dead Space 3, back in 2013

In this game, you could buy with real money weapons and armor that are not available early

in the game, so if you paid money, you get access to end-game items

EA's Dead Space 3 began the trend of games that could ask for more money from the player

after a full purchase

Wait, EA started this trend?

How could I not imagine this

Cosmetic purchases, skins for your character,

weapons, customization options or just plain progress

Microtransaction has become a tool to squeeze more money from costumers

First, let us talk about free-to-play games

You are able to play them for free, and if you want to progress further in the game in

a faster way, you have the possibility to cut corners by paying money to get that advantage,

like getting better characters, play the game more time, new skills, better weapons, or

things like that In these free to play games, microtransactions

are the source of income of the developers, as these games are delivered for free and

payments inside the game are optional

Games like DOTA2, League of Legends, Hearthstone or mobile games like Clash of Clans fall in this category

As we said, you can play these game for free, but paying money will grant you an advantage

or simply avoid hours of countless grinding to progress in the game

In the Hearthstone example, paying real money will grant you extra packs

These packs do not grant you cards that you do not own, but it will provide you with several

more that you can dust to craft the ones you want to have

When we download a free to play game we may have the impression that these type of games

move a business way smaller than AAA games

As graphics and gameplay is much simpler and they do not make you pay for it to start with,

but with these microtransactions, League of Legends made 1.3 billion dollars and the company

Supercell that created Clash of Clans earned a whopping 2.3 billion in revenue the past

year with all his free to play games for mobile devices

2.3 billion that is half of the total revenue of Electronic Arts for 2017 doing AAA games

so it's not bad for a fraction of the investment

On the other side, we have premium and expensive games that also include this kind of payments

Titles as Overwatch, Deus Ex or FIFA include the option to get new assets via micropayments

This is especially visible in games as FIFA, EA made 1.3 billion in extra content in 2016

and half of it came from Ultimate Team mode

In their annual report, EA stated making 2.4 billion dollars form digital revenue in 2017,

59% of the total revenue of the company

Oh, fuck

Can you whistle for me?

Forget it

And NBA2k made 527 million from microtransactions

In sports games, these in-game payments are

incredibly obvious and annoying, now with the features of "building your dream team"

to play against other people in online mode, you need to amass a huge amount of in-game

currency to buy those packs that give you random players, and of course, the good players

have a very low chance to pop up

Yes, you can grind that currency just playing games, or use the mobile app

That doesn't sound that bad

However, it is so tedious and time-consuming that the game almost incites you to buy that

currency with real money

In NBA2k this is even more obvious, because besides that dream team mode called MyTeam,

if you want to improve your created player to play other online modes, you also need

that in-game currency, known as Virtual currency or VC

So it looks like 2k is saying "if you want to play and have fun with all the

online modes we offer, you need to pay more"

Having in mind that in every game you get along the lines of 800 VC, and having in mind

a game lasts 30 to 40 minutes, you can imagine how long you need to grind to get a significant

amount of currency

If you want to be competitive in these online modes, you are bound to spend real money in

an already expensive game

You can say the developers already spend a huge amount of resources building the game

You need also to pay a lot of money to be able to use the real names and the logos of

the NBA and its teams and to pay royalties to use the names of retired players, but just

remember the numbers given before: microtransactions in sports games are a billionaire business

Rockstar earned 700 million from 2015 to 2016 with GTA V purchases in-game

Having in mind GTA cost nearly 270 million dollars counting both development and marketing,

looks like they made some money back

Because in the 700 million that we just mentioned, the 80 million copies of the game sold are not included

In this kind of titles, there is a subtle difference on what you can get through microtransactions;

for instance, in Overwatch, you can spend extra money for vanity items that don't affect gameplay

In fact, Overwatch generated 80% of Blizzard's revenue from digital channels, up to 1.3 billion

from a player base of 30 million players…

And as we said, only for cosmetic items

Still cheaper than plastic surgery

As we can see, there are different ways to

get money from players

Recently we could see some controversy regarding Playerunknown's Battleground for implementing

microtransactions in early access stages of the game, as you may know; this game is still

in Open Access stages

People argue that this is a lousy movement from Bluehole

But as the creator Brendan Greene stated, if they want to include this characteristic

in-game, they need to polish every aspect and having a healthy market for everyone at official release

He also stated that every player would have a maximum quota of items that can purchase,

up to six per week

Another case is the new Star Wars game, Battlefront II

As we could see in the beta, your progress is linked directly to the purchase of loot

crates, which unlocks special cards and crafting materials that are used to improve your character's

performance and they are only available in these crates

As some YouTubers pointed out, that progress can be made by playing the game, but what

has been showed so far, that indicates an incredibly long grind, making it almost undoable

without paying extra money

EA announced that DLCs and all extra content was going to be delivered for free, but seeing

what we can get, I don't know which model I prefer

I mean, I do not mind loot crates at all, but linking your progression to these crates

and not to your performance when playing…

I think I am going to start not liking them.

They still have time to correct or tweak this loot crate mumbo jumbo, so we will see

Kinda dick move by EA

And the problem is that we are not surprised

There are plenty of examples of games with in-game transactions, like Rocket League,

Deus Ex, Assassins' Creed: Unity…

Some with great success and others that gave a lot of backlash to their companies

The worst part of microtransactions is that we're talking about one of the most expensive

goods in mass market: AAA video games

The average cost is of 60€, and now we need to add all the investment in micropayments

that you need to be able to beat or to even advance or be competitive in multiplayer modes

in some kind of games

Microtransactions are here to stay, they give extra revenue to developers and that makes

the industry of video games one of the most successful in the entertainment scene

On the other hand, it also makes the industry a viable one, where the budgets of some video

games are on a par with budgets of big blockbusters in Hollywood

Besides, consumers are now more informed about what they buy and developers cannot count

on the impulse buy caused by hype, as there are many sources of information regarding

the quality of a game days before it is released

El juego del go: Filosofía sobre un tablero. Algo mas que un juego, 1 de 3 - Duration: 32:58.

The game of go. Philosophy on a board. Part 1: More than a game.

Surprise and curiosity often results found with a game called go.

-monosílabo- himself and his name is peculiar and even funny. It is not related with

golf, nor bingo, nor with the gogos disco, nor with football ...; And it's funny

check their permanent presence in the language.

Ah !, moss, plant funnier,

because as I told a friend: can play mus and go!

Go is also the verb go in English but no "gou" it is said, and is "the game will";

is that rare game that comes out in the crosswords as "Japanese game" but

that almost nobody knows. And is that the word Go is the name of the game in Japanese,

in China it is called Weichi; and baduk in Korea.

To play go just need a board and stones, white and black. On the dashboard

You must have drawn a grid or grid. The grid has been used more

historically, it is 19 x 19 lines, it's where the beauty is reflected best

and depth of go. But it is known that ancient Tibet used the 17x17 board;

and in any case, to learn to play you can start with a smaller board,

13x13 or 9x9.

We are surprised to see how the go board is present in everyday life:

There are boards go everywhere ...!

on the tiled floor and walls ...,

in the clothes...,

on the street ... in ... manhole covers, look,

this he has just 19x19! ... It's amazing!

and see you under the Eiffel Tower is a board go!

There are also stones everywhere,

Go but must be oval and round. Good are made of black slate

shell and white; currents are simply of plastic or glass.

They are little buttons, or lentils ... and beware with the kids !, they are not candy.

Usually they placed in two bowls, one 180 181 white and one with black, which gives a

total of 361 stones, as many as intersections have the board, but rarely get to use all

Go is a game of intelligence in which

no chance intervenes; undoubtedly the oldest and fascinating of all the games and

strategy that today is known and practiced. He arrived from the East, where was born more

4,000 years, originally it is directly related to education, because it has

a Chinese legend that was invented by legendary Emperor Yao to instruct his son.

It serves to develop imagination, creativity, ability to concentrate,

the ability to discern the meaning Harmony, proportion and aesthetics

Why in ancient China it was one of the

called four arts, with painting, calligraphy and music.

Old and new at the same time fascinates who finds out, he sees appear before it a

wonderful horizon full of possibilities, an infinite, hidden and mysterious space,

an intangible beauty ... A simple game, yes, but full of values

exceeding playfulness. Hence its appeal, its magic and its millenary existence.

So we ask: What is actually the go?

It may be difficult to understand what is because, really, it does not look like any

another game. Go is a natural, abstract game, subtle, full of logic and common sense.

It is a refreshing space for the mind ... Like another world within the world ...

It is also a way to perceive the ephemeral of existence, and become aware of

different reality, beyond time and space. So it is no coincidence that those

Taoism as special beings called Immortals appear in many representations

playing go. And is that the idea of ​​immortality is present on the board: When a

group of stones is alive, means is indestructible, invulnerable ... a point

insurance support, ie immortal.

Despite its simplicity, the board and go stones

They constitute a profound symbolic language.

- The square represents the material world, Earth.

- And the circle the spiritual world, Heaven. The circle represents the intersection of

wheel with its center, which in turn is the center of the cross, the fifth element, consciousness

- The black and white represent the duality,

as the symbol of Yin and Yang, couples from which everything is born,

binary "on-off" present in all the declared.

The image of a panel full of stones also suggests ways of nature,

called fractal geometry,

in which an apparent chaos within very precise mathematical rules hide.

In a way, go practice becomes an extraordinary learning laboratory.

The game teaches us to be bold yet cautious

The very bold and ambitious behavior is as dangerous as very fearful or conservative.

It should not attack while the defense therefore be neglected.

However, excessive caution does not allow

see opportunities when they present themselves, and causes the loss of initiative in the game.

GO teaches us to persevere in the

project development, but also namely time change strategy.

Do not act rigidly insist ideas that are no longer valid to change the situation.

No need to keep fighting for what is lost,

but at the same time not to leave never fight until

He has not exhausted the last hope.

The go reflects the idea of ​​dynamic equilibrium: The stones should be neither too concentrated

or widely dispersed. Often it is surrounded Rodeador; the dead, alive and dead alive.

The win may be obtained by the accumulation small advantages, although sometimes necessary

risk everything in a decisive battle. Is Undoubtedly the beauty of this dynamism, and

the excitement of these transformations.

Develops the vision go together, the

global vision, and allows you to check the excessive localism, particularism and selfishness,

lead to failure.

Each new stone changes the situation on

the board, and the player must learn to recognize and constantly assess changes.

That assessment must be fair, and therefore must consider the entire board.

The opponent must always be taken into account, because in a way, it is a game of go

construction in which two opponents, even without proponérserlo cooperate in production

a work that can satisfy both the winner and the loser.

The kind of intelligence that puts demands go also involved human qualities: Prudence,

courage, tenacity, serenity ... So no software, play

good to go; nor a human being can play well so machinelike.

Go integrates the activity of both sides the brain, the left, which brings into play the

analytical skills and the right, capacity creative. Therefore also it constitutes an authentic

prevention against all types of disease mind, including Alzheimer's disease.

Go practice gives us serenity, calm and balance, allowing us to leave

aside the problems of everyday life and its load remain at least for a while

The concentration and abstraction

facilitating the go can even serve to overcome pain, as in the case many times

represented a large Japanese character He is playing to go as he performed

an operation arm.

The passion and captivates go because it's something that You are discovering oneself. But after a certain

time, a surprising discovery is made: life go and look. How?:

- The game starts with an empty board and, at least in principle, we have much

freedom to go where placing stones We want. Even the stages in which

develops the game: fuseki, chuban, and yose, keep a parallelism

with what is youth, maturity and old age.

In the first stage are plotted the main lines of what will come next,

in the second fully developed our capabilities, and the third is collected

the fruits as lived before. - That initial freedom that is necessary

find meaning or strategy: We need know what to do. Should we not also

discover a meaning in life?

- Go is easy and difficult at the same time.

The simplicity of its rules contrasts with its extraordinary degree of depth and subtlety.

And this paradox leads to another: a master of Go knows how to find the easiest way

play, something that costs a lot of beginners, those who choose very complicated moves,

with disastrous results. - A novice player craves go capturing stones

yet one learns expert sacrifice. It's the same difference

between childishness and maturity. - We play go according to our understanding

the game. Also, necessarily entails living a way of understanding life.

- Each item is different, as is each new day. It is therefore necessary to maintain

the ability to see everything as something new if we want to improve both the go and in life.

Otherwise it falls into the routine, automatism and mechanicalness, main

causes of degradation and aging.

- The go also brings us closer to knowledge

of the laws of life and nature. He board would become a small ecosystem

where everything is harmonically related, and the player is discovering the laws that govern it.

- Like life, the go is dynamic, deep

and mysterious. It shows you always have anything beyond that still do not see but can

discover. So grows the philosophical search and innate sense at all

Humans. Search for balance and harmony, pursuit of abstract beauty that is hidden

behind all forms, search for knowledge.

- And, both on board and in life, that knowledge is what will make us truly

free, as it will allow us to choose which our movements and actions correctly.

In this way the go becomes a way of moral development, consisting of

always seek the best move, the right thing, the best way to act.

One way of overcoming mistakes, their weaknesses,

they are, really, our main adversary.

Go is therefore a purely human game,

and the game comes to amount to a conversation in which both players are showing on

the board even the most intimate aspects of his personality. That's why they call in Japan

"Shudan" which means "language without words ", understood without words," speak without speaking. "

This explains the Chinese proverb that says, "Use the wei-chi to make friends"

since the go facilitates personal relationship and mutual understanding.

Inevitably,

the style of play will reveal whether the player It is aggressive, ambitious, impetuous, reflective,

generous or stingy, bold or coward unruly or submissive, rigid or flexible ...

Therefore we can say that the go is a game purely human, typical of humans,

endowed with discernment and conscience. Although it might be doubted this claim,

if we consider the answer Emanuel Lasker, world champion chess between

1894 and 1921, gave a reporter when he He asked about the go:

"Chess is limited to the inhabitants of Earth, but if there are intelligent beings

on some other planet, surely they know the go. "

All these aspects explain why the go has been and continues to be applied to different

fields of human activity. As a strategy game par excellence,

GO is highly regarded by diplomats and politicians, and it has been traditionally part in the

curriculum of military academies, both Chinese and Japanese, because it can

They are embodied much of the principles contained in the classic treatise by Sun Tzu:

"The Art of War", which some It could well be called "The Art of Peace"

largely because it is dedicated to how prevent conflicts before they occur.

Also in the go he dominates the idea of ​​"living and let live ", not Checkmate, own

Chess; and although there is also life and Death on the go, this death is the same as

It exists in nature, due to natural laws.

Although there is no struggle with the physical body, the go is considered a martial art, because

on the board develops a true combat, where the psychological aspects

and mental are of fundamental importance.

This explains why the mental strength of Go players

is valued with a category system similar to martial arts. And also

He explains why many samurais practiced go.

The go was also chosen by many monks Buddhists, it reflects well one of the

fundamental concepts of Buddhism: Detachment.

It may be that one or more stones have

had a crucial importance at a time of the game, but once circumstances

have changed, you have to play with the possibility abandoning.

And in recent times it has gained prominence the implementation of business development go

and the business world, it is known that most Japanese executives

I usually practice. Leisure and business joined on the board, where negotiations

and exchange gains and losses, growth and expansion ...

Both go as business is important have a proper sense of risk, spirit

entrepreneurial initiative ...

And each player is like the director

of a company, its great strategist.

All these values ​​go explain that their

dissemination in the West will be increasing.

They are known some books that talk about the go: Shibumi, Jian, the player go, Chung Kuo ...

And it is known poem dedicated to him Jorge Luis Borges:

"Today, September 9, 1978, I had the palm a small disc

of three hundred and sixty one required for the astrological game of go,

that other chess East. It is older than the oldest writing

and the board is a map of the universe ... "

There are also some films in which

GO appears: "Pi, Faith in Chaos" and "A Beautiful Mind," based on the

life of John Nash, Nobel Prize in 1994. Nash he perfected the "Game Theory"

Von Neumann and Morgenstern, establishing the chances of a clash of opposites

both sides can win.

It is striking the complex reaction of Nash,

in the film, when you lose a game of Go.

Gradually are the number of Western who accept this legacy from the East. Nevertheless,

It is still pending recovery value traditionally had in the past:

cultural, artistic and philosophical value. A value that will allow Western man

use the game as a way of overcoming staff, value for the Japanese

Kido speak of "the path of go".

Having gone through the centuries with rules

game so simple and almost invariable They give the flavor of the classic: I old

and once again, not subject to fashions, always attractive ...

His likeness with life make it a simple learning laboratory where

each stone is putting us clear life aspects,

of ourselves and others.

Go is also a valuable educational tool,

a tool in our power to develop and keep our minds active,

while we had fun.

If it is true that we live in the "leisure civilization"

with many hours of free time at our disposal, the go is presented

as an alternative extraordinary entertainment, clean, green,

for anyone

of any age. A real challenge for who we are not satisfied with amusements

passive usual, but we seek leisure quality where to test our

capabilities and develop them.

A beautiful alternative to telebasura, consumerism,

crime and so many other problems of our time.

Therefore, we can say that the go is more than a game. That recondite, mysterious

and attractive ..., that enchants the go, that that every human being seeks even unknowingly,

It is nothing other than knowledge, but not a mere academic knowledge;

depth knowledge of the laws of Life and Nature, the universal knowledge

that every human being, of any age and Instead, you need and want to learn.

This is the natural relationship go with -understood philosophy is in its traditional sense,

as love of wisdom, and this relationship produces the real discovery of the game,

thus it is showing us its deepest aspect and magic.

Magic, ultimately, is what has motivated the survival of go for thousands of years,

and guarantee its existence in the future.

John Bateman fires warning to Australia: I'm not the biggest but I never give up - Duration: 3:47.

John Bateman fires warning to Australia: I'm not the biggest but I never give up

But the Wigan battler has a reputation for never backing down and loves getting under opponents' skins. And he hopes Australia will discover that to their cost on Friday in the opening World Cup game in Melbourne.

The 6ft, 15 stone back rower said: "I am not the biggest but I never go on the field thinking that. "I know what I'm good at and people will struggle to handle me if I do it.

I love the physical side of the game." The Aussie press are notorious for trying to wind up visiting countries, especially the English.

But Bateman, 24, says it will be like water off a duck's back and insists he'll enjoy it if they try to rattle him.

"I am not the biggest but I never go on the field thinking that" John Bateman "They can say what they want off the field, I'll love it because it's on the field that matters," he said.

"Then it's 17 men against 17 men and there is nobody else who can help you.

We will get stuck in, no worries." In his earlier days, Bateman would react to provocation but hasn't had a red or yellow card for two seasons.

He said: "I just want to win and if someone is having a go at me I will have a go back but the cards are in the past. "I can control it now, 100 per cent.

I just enjoy the competitive side of it without getting into trouble." Australia haven't lost to England or Great Britain in 10 games since the Lions famously won 23-12 in Sydney in 2006.

But Bateman says Wigan's World Club Challenge win over Cronulla in February gives him confidence that the rot will stop.

He said: "It is vital that we win, there's no two ways about it - this is the right time for us. "Everyone talks about how good Australia are and they like being the centre of attention.

"But it is definitely about us this year.

We know what we are capable of and we are going into this tournament confident that we can win it." Bateman missed England's Test match win over Samoa in Australia in mid-season due to a shoulder injury.

But he made his Wigan debut in Sydney, against the Roosters in the World Club Challenge in 2014, and also toured there as a kid with England Academy.

He said: "Both those were tough but they were good experiences and will help me this time.

This Is What Happened To Macy Gray - Duration: 4:20.

Macy Gray's distinctive, raspy voice was all the rage in 1999.

The Grammy-winner burned up the charts with hits such as "I Try" and "Why Didn't You Call

Me," and even made a cameo in the very first Spider-Man movie, but almost as quickly as

she rose to fame, she dropped out of the spotlight.

Here's why you don't hear much about this singer these days, and why she could be poised

for a comeback.

Her follow-ups flopped

Despite broad U.S. acclaim for her 1999 album, On How Life Is, and huge success in the U.K.

with her 2001 follow-up, The Id, Gray's third album, 2005's The Trouble with Being Myself,

was a major commercial disappointment.

Though it fared slightly better across the pond, the BBC said "her quirkiness was initially

endearing" but now "tends toward cartoonishness."

After a falling out with Epic Records, a revamped Gray jumped ship to Universal and followed

up with 2007's Big, which featured collaborations with stars such as Natalie Cole, Justin Timberlake,

and Fergie.

But despite the project's critical acclaim, Gray couldn't match her early commercial success.

When Big proved to be a flop, it seemed like everyone in the industry just walked away

from Gray.

She told the Telegraph in 2010 that artists of that caliber simply stopped calling her

back.

The days of making music with chart-topping acts like Outkast and Carlos Santana appeared

to be over.

Her acting career sputtered

Gray made her debut as a thespian in 2001's Training Day, but starting in 2005, she began

to truly start flexing her acting muscles in a string of small parts in TV and on film,

most notably appearing in two Lee Daniels productions, Shadowboxer in 2005 and The Paperboy

in 2012, as well as joining an award-winning ensemble in 2010 in Tyler Perry's For Colored

Girls.

But Gray has yet to land a major starring role or a promising breakout part.

Speaking to the Guardian in 2012, she looked on the bright side, saying acting is "a challenge

for me.

I'm not close to mastering it, so I enjoy getting better at it.

It's a good exercise for my brain and it's refreshing."

Her "Dancing" gig fizzled

The hit reality TV dancing competition Dancing with the Stars is often the go-to show for

former or fading celebrities in need of a serious publicity boost.

Gray cut a rug on the show in 2009, but despite a fun and sultry performance of Aretha Franklin's

"(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman," she was eliminated in the first round.

"It's a cool set.

All the people that work here are really nice.

It was fun.

It was a fun one week."

Parting ways so quickly meant Gray missed out on the opportunity to make the kind of

impression that might have helped revive her career, or at least introduce her to a new

generation of fans.

Her drug use spiraled

As her music career went south, Gray eventually admitted that her drug use was part of the

problem.

She told the Telegraph that, quote, "indulging in excess of everything" started to catch

up with her.

On an episode of Oprah's Where Are They Now?, Gray said she was out of control, but her

vanity reeled her back in ...

"I looked in the mirror one day and I had bags and my skin was doing weird stuff, and

that really scared me.

I swear to God I quit.

I quit that day."

Turning it around

Gray admitted she went through "a mid-career identity crisis," telling the Telegraph,

"A lot of people were in my ear telling me: this is cool and this is not cool.

They didn't know what they were talking about ..."

Gray says she was embarrassed by some of the personas she'd tried on over the years, sporting

wigs and crazy suits, and by the different directions her record company was pushing

her, leaving her feeling "brainwashed."

As she struggled to find a core identity as a musician, audiences moved on.

But everyone loves a comeback story, and Gray is poised for the climb.

On her 2016 album, Stripped, she branched off into jazz for the first time.

The project was critically acclaimed and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard jazz charts.

There's still much love among critics and fans for Gray's unique sound and vision, and

in February 2017, she was praised for the powerful message and soulful stylings of her

single "White Man," the video for which The Fader called a "moving portrayal of race in

America."

She told Larry King in April 2017 that her new material is a welcome departure ...

"Yeah, it's definitely Macy Gray, but it's, uh, it's, it's wild, it's, uh, you haven't

heard what we're doing yet.

It's very fresh."

【蝶野マサヒロイド】Sugarvine【UTAUカバー】 - Duration: 4:19.

Last night came upon me

a breakup convo that fell like a sudden rain

I see

Oh well, then

Here, have some water,

sugarvine

So just like that, I got on the bus,

went to a cafe I'd been wanting to try out,

and drank some African coffee

dunno where, though

You're not here,

That's all I can think, moping around

but on the other side of window,

the wonderful world's still spinning, just like it does any other day

Yes, shoop shoop

That's probably-bly

enough reason to whoop whoop

a little; yep, that's the kind of situation it is

Shoop, shoop

Make this gloomy mood, mood

clear up with a whoop whoop

that's how much you matter

Today, I cleaned my house

from morning, even the windows

Fruit sauce pancakes

I tried my hand at making, but burnt them

There's no one for me to give them to,

so I braced myself and ate them all

the contrast between the berries and the burnt parts

surprisingly wasn't too bad, but that's not enough

I wanna see you

I think as I keep on crying

but when I open the window,

there waits a bright world, just like any other day

Yes, shoop shoop

That's probably-bly

enough reason to whoop whoop

a little; yep, that's the kind of situation it is

Shoop, shoop

Make this gloomy mood, mood

clear up with a whoop whoop

that's how much you matter

He's a sugarvine

Can't live without water,

and doesn't care if the one pouring it is me or not

I'm a sugarvine, too

Search for rain all you want

on my dry cheeks;

endings are new beginnings

Yes, shoop shoop

That's probably-bly

enough reason to whoop whoop

a little; yep, that's the kind of situation it is

Shoop, shoop

Make this gloomy mood, mood

clear up with a whoop whoop

that's how much you matter

Shoop shoop

That's probably-bly

enough reason to whoop whoop

a little; yep, that's the kind of situation it is

Shoop shoop

Make this gloomy mood, mood

clear up with a whoop whoop

because I am me, and nobody else

Power & Control Wheel of LGBTQIA - Duration: 6:33.

Does abuse happen in LGBTQIA relationships?

Yes it does happen often in LGBTQIA relationships, for sure.

I see... People often say violence in a relationship is always based on physical abuse?

No, that is not true.

There are various types of abuse, not just physical.

Oh ok. How do you recognize a certain abusive behavior in a LGBTQIA relationship?

Before I explain how we recognize behaviors, we use the Power and Control Wheel in LGBTQIA relationships.

For example, there are 8 categories of abuse, which of the following are:

blaming, coercion and threats, economic abuse, emotional abuse, violent tactics, isolation, using privilege, using children and etc.

Whoa! That can be scary.

Coercion and threats: An abuser threatens by saying they will leave you, or they will commit suicide.

They will harm you or people who are important to you such as family members, friends, and pets.

They may stalk you and drive recklessly to scare you.

Intimidation: An abuser makes you afraid by using gestures, expressions, possibly hit, slap, or pinch you.

Not only that, they will hurt your pets and animals. Displaying weapons like guns or knives, smashing things,

and reinforcing homophobic/transphobic control like telling you that the police will arrest you instead of them because you "look more gay".

Emotional abuse: An abuser puts you down, makes you feel bad about yourself,

questions you about whether you are gay or lesbian.

For example, if you are transgendered they will ask if you are a real woman or real man to put you down often.

Economic abuse: An abuser prevents you from getting and keeping a job, interferes with your job

or education, forces you to ask them for money, uses your credit without your permission,

keeps your name off joint assets, or refuses to work, forcing you to provide support.

Isolation: An abuser controls what you do, who you see, who you talk with.

They limit your outside activities. They want to check your phone. They may say they want to use the same account on social media.

They may say that nobody will believe you about the abuse because you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or trans.

They won't let you visit friends/family or go anywhere alone.

Privilege: An abuser treats you like a servant, makes all of the major decisions without your input,

and defines each partner's roles/duties in the relationship.

For example, you are masculine and i am femme, which means you are head of the house, bring home the bacon

and I stay home and take care of the house. I have to dress feminine and can't dress andro/masculine.

An abuser- who is already out in the community while you are not- may pressure you to come out of the closet.

That's an example of them using their privilege by their experience being accepted

and passing as a gay person in the community.

That person might seem masculine or femme and could pass

while I am still on my journey and figuring out my identity. They may pressure me to dress

more masculine or feminine, while I might opt for more gender-neutral clothes.

Using children: An abuser makes you feel guilty about the children, uses them to relay messages,

threatens to take them away, or threatens by telling you that if they tell your ex-spouse

or the authorities that you are LGBTQIA and they will take the children away.

Denying, minimizing, and blaming: An abuser may shift responsibility for abusive behavior by saying it's your fault,

or minimize women to women fights like a cat fight and men to men fights are more dangerous and abusive,

which isn't true, both are the same.

Now we've discussed all of the eight categories in the wheel.

You can see that there are both similarities and differences in heterosexual/cisgender and LGBTQIA relationships.

The Deaf community is small and the Deaf LGBTQIA community is even smaller.

This may make many LGBTQIA feel like there is no safe place to talk about it. I completely understand.

You might feel that you have nobody you can tell about this and you may be afraid that if you tell somebody,

they will tell your abuser. we want to inform you that the hotline is confidential- we do not tell anybody about your story.

We're here to support you 24/7!

straight into it if your neuron dear please be sure you like and subscribe

the channel anyways let's get started here welcome back to another video on

the channel and today we are playing bed Wars now I've been planning on playing

this game for a while now I just haven't really gotten to it because you know

I've been pretty busy lately and I've had lots a lot of stuff going on on the

channel and without any further ado let's get started though so we are going

to be playing single-player today now that isn't to be said that we might not

have we might actually have a few days that we will have a another person

joining us which will make it doubles but I will we will be doing that

probably in the near future not a two day though so let's go ahead and let's

go into single-player here go into bed Wars and here we go guys and we are in

here so let's go ahead and let's first start out by going and get ourselves

some wool here basically if you haven't played this game before guys this game

is basically a game kind of like skywars how that game used to be except in this

game you have a bed and you have to basically try to survive as long as you

can and you have unlimited lives until your bed gets destroyed now basically I

have to protect you you are able to protect your bed as well which is one of

the features in this game which is kind of interesting and so you go ahead and

you get to protect your bed so you can make it so that people cannot kill you

and that kind of different stuff and you know you just keep your bed and keep

yourself safe make it so that nobody can kill you nobody can destroy your map

your stuff and everything and you know that's just how this game works anyways

we're gonna play we're gonna get straight into it I'm going to act like

you already know how to play this game because I don't really want to have to

explain it much further than it's basically the same thing as skywars

except added on a few extra like features to it

uh-oh yellows already building over to us that's a problem let's go again go

and get them we're gonna get rid of them right here

out out out out out and let's go and destroy his bed up and I got knocked off

I don't really care though cuz I got rid of his bed which means I will just be

able to kill him at this point perfect good game so he's gonna get

destroyed no matter what let's go ahead and let's go and kill him and get rid of

him here where is he at I want to go back actually and deposit these diamonds

because I do not want him taking these that would be a big issue now let's

throw the now he's not over here yet so good we're gonna go ahead and we're

gonna grab ourselves the he'll pool we're gonna grab ourselves it's a trap

as well and that's just basically for a bunch of safety reasons and anyways

though let's go ahead where's the chest okay there's the chest there's always a

glitch right there where you can't see your ender chest no where is my ender

chest at and I cannot ever find it but now I can find it and oh jeez so this

dude is going and building a pillar thing around his base well isn't that

lovely you know oh yeah you want to shoot me come on shoot me you know I'm

gonna do jeez he's gonna kill me good perfect

now he's gonna shoot me off of my bridge here eventually he's gonna run out of

arrows so I'm just gonna wait right here and eventually I'm just gonna go for

this shoot here hopefully I don't get knocked off good I didn't get knocked

off perfect perfect perfect throw these in here we're gonna wait until we get

four diamonds and I'm gonna get myself the what is it protection or whatever so

let's go ahead and let's grab ourselves some more iron here let's go ahead and

to here do we have any up nope we don't have any more gold let's grab ourselves

some wool so we can go over his big like mountainous area that he's built at this

point there's nothing he can do about me jumping over it and getting in

so kind of a dumb idea honestly but sure let's let's just roll with what he's

done so far and we'll build up oh of course he knocked me off of course he

did of course he knocked me off now the

question is will he knock me off here out the he will good

he did not he's got terrible aim alright so let's go ahead and let's get

ourselves the next upgrade which is going to be reinforced armor to grab

that in here perfect throw um we probably want to go ahead and get

ourselves some more gold going here so we're gonna grab that we're gonna grab

ourselves the permanent iron armor cuz that'll be something we want right now

I'm gonna throw all of this stuff in my chest just for you know safety purposes

and we are going to do that and okay so here is the big issue we need to get

into this guy's base cuz this is actually starting to get a little

ridiculous like he's just shooting me from his base that's all he's still

doing that it's ridiculous you can't be doing that all day long

like dude I'm gonna get a bow actually and I'm gonna start shooting him cuz

that's his ridiculous items shop let's go arrows bows nope we do not have

enough for a bow do we well that's unfortunate that's expensive dude why is

it so expensive for a bow ridiculously expensive I don't understand it Oh do

what he can do what he wants but oh great now he's a now he has a flame bow

sort of kind of worried about that that's a problem let's go ahead and get

ourselves a bow here because we should start shooting him at this point

all right where's yet where's yet okay there it is let's go ahead and let's get

rid of them

I don't have any arrows left darn it okay let's go ahead and let's grab

ourselves some more gold here let's go in here item shop let's grab ourselves

some arrows 16 arrows perfect thank you very very much and have a great day

these arrows are super cheap like dirt cheap I'm actually gonna run bye bye

sorry for your loss here I'm just gonna keep on knocking them off this is great

come on this is so annoying dude just die man die die die it's just annoying

cuz he's like I'm just camping this diamond pool now and I'm just gonna sit

here for a while keep on shooting them now here's the problem while we're

sitting here these guys were just like attaining more and more diamonds um whoa

what's going on there gadem

gadem come on come on come on get him again what is his goal of doing oh oh

shoot shoot shoot he's building up oh my gosh he built over on my van you little

stinker oh oh die just die at this point why would

have I done that I should have paid more attention dude I should have known that

he was gonna end there pearl over to my base like I should probably try to get

to middle next time in the next game and be a little more careful with what I do

there because I feel like if I had built to mid there I probably would have done

way better than I actually did that time anyways though everybody hopefully you

Sbooktacular TBR | BookTube #sbooktober #sbookyghost - Duration: 5:15.

Welcome.

Hello, I'm Rogan and welcome to my Sbooktacular Reading Adventure!

For those who don't know what this is, it's a readathon but with a twist!

It's a choose your own adventure readathon. It will run from Oct 25 -- Oct 31.

And we have to read...the goal is seven books.

But if a book can count for more than one challenge, that's fine too.

I've actually never done a readathon before, so this is my first one! And... [shows stack of books]

Yeah.

Now, I know for those who have watched my previous video will be saying,

"Rogan, didn't you JUST say that you have six library books to read?"

Yes, I do. But. I couldn't resist!

A friend of mine posted her TBR (To Be Read) list for this challenge, and I was like oh, that actually sounds fun.

So, why not?

On my friend's TBR, they're all kind of spooky books, and I thought yeah, maybe I'll do that for my list too.

Nah. I didn't feel like putting that much effort to find those books, but about half of these ARE spooky so...

Before I continue, the readathon also has a competition, so there's five different teams.

I'm Team Ghost.

IT'S SO CUTE! LOOK AT IT.

Okay! Books!

First one - trick or treat, read a book of your choice.

Horrorstör. Since I already had this book, sure. I haven't started reading it so... Why not?

2. Read a book set in the future.

[Fahrenheit 451]

I'm being honest here, I have read this. But the last time I read this, I was like, a freshman in high school.

So that's nine, or ten years ago?

*has an existential crisis*

Anyway! I want to re-read it because it's one of my favorite books from back then,

so I want to see if I still like it today. And...a book about books? Who doesn't love that?

And I love the new cover for the 60th anniversary edition.

3. Read a book where the narrator is dead.

The Lovely Bones. I haven't read this. I haven't seen the movie either.

So... I am going into this knowing nothing. No, I do know the basic story but there you go.

4. Read a book with a black cover.

Now, I have a story about this one.

I originally picked this book: Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.

But. I got to the library, found it. *chuckles* Yeah no, I'm not going to try and read this. It's this thick!

And it's not large print either! So yeah no, I'll add it to my list to read, but not for this challenge. No.

So what I got instead: 2001 - A Space Odyssey.

I've never read this book, so... I thought this would be a good opportunity.

The next book COULD kind of count for 4, 5, AND 6.

I got seven books anyway.

5. Read a book in one day.

Black Panther. This could count as black on the cover, black in the name, read in one day, AND...

6. Read a graphic novel.

Now, I said that Black Panther could count, but I got another one.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

I found Sabrina when I was looking for something else unrelated. So I read the description, why not?

7. I chose dystopian novel, but the book I ended up picking for this actualy fits the other option, sci-fi book.

"We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

This could count for a book with a black cover too.

I'm actually kind of excited to read We,

because it's apparently the inspiration for every dystopian novel...ever.

Including 1984 and Brave New World.

And these are the books I will hopefully finish in a week. We'll see how this goes! They're all fairly short. Kind of.

*What have I gotten myself into?*

【Joerung】 Suffering of Separation - Duration: 4:02.

Leaving behind the sensation of feeling choked in one's arms

I put an end to it myself.

"Goodbye."

The curious characters lined up in a row makes me believe you're still here.

A shower to get rid of the bad taste.

Possessive.

I opened the door and found myself unable to take a step.

Your farewell note could be seen reflected on the glass.

As the snow of February piles up on the ground, my desire for you only grows stronger.

Just go away, bury yourself in my memory.

See? The shadow is slowly burning

I tried to warm my cold left hand with a hand warmer.

My breaths coming out in white puffs, trailing in the air.

Under the lamp in the darkness of the evening, I poke at the organs.

Where am I supposed to go?

As the snow of February piles up on the ground, my desire for you only grows stronger.

Just go away, bury yourself in my memory.

See? The shadow is slowly burning.

"Goodbye, for good."

As the snow of February piles up on the ground, my desire for you only grows stronger.

Just go away, bury yourself in my memory.

See? The shadow is slowly burning.

Getting entangled in a messy relationship is indeed a little spiteful, I suppose.

At some point, it's all gone.

Look. Who's in the room?

【Joerung】 Interment - Duration: 4:20.

Wrenched out along with several nondescript bodies,

Loving each other to the point of madness

We stick out our tongues

Accompanied with the sensation of clinging on to the defiled corpses

We start shaking from a sudden feeling of loneliness.

"Not yet, not yet, not yet, not just yet."

Unsteadily, I swayed.

Tingling, stinging, pricking, smarting, comes a shining light.

Round and round and round and round

It twists and turns in my chest

Thus I shall become one with you in our bones

From the extremity of incompletion, comes a voice seemingly on the verge of crumbling

At some point, it over spilled

So I licked it back up.

It looks like the widowed family can still keep their hand clean, free of sin.

Taking away the pain, just a little bit…

"I love you, love you, love you, love you,"

Staggering, I collapsed

I've killed it, killed it, killed it, killed it

It's sinking into the sea.

Deeply, mercilessly, stabbing these very hands of mine.

Thus I shall become one with you in the sea.

"Loathed by one."

"Loathed by one."

"Not yet, not yet, not yet, not just yet."

Unsteadily, I swayed.

Tingling, stinging, pricking, smarting, comes a shining light.

Round and round and round and round

It twists and turns in my chest

Thus I shall become one with you in love.

Can You Overdose from Too Much Protein? | The Doctors - Duration: 2:24.

(applause)

- It really is about moderation.

We always say a healthy diet consists

of exercise, so very important for our health,

but sometimes too much of a good thing can harm you.

Could it even prove deadly, though?

Get this, a 25-year-old female body builder recently died

from having too much protein?

We all think of protein is good for us, right?

According to Perth Sunday Times,

the female body builder died from complications

from taking body building supplements

that contained too much protein for her body

to process because of an underlying condition

that she had.

This is really hard to wrap our heads around,

because in addition, this country does have a fascination

with protein, and it seems like,

personally, I don't take protein supplements,

I feel like I get plenty from food.

But I know a lot of people

who protein supplementation, protein supplementation.

- Huge. I'd say it's so important protein has

to be a part of every meal to start the morning

with some protein, - Yes.

- you have to do it or you're gonna blow up or something.

You're absolutely right.

- Yes. I remember when I was in school,

I went on a date with a really nutty guy,

and on the first date, - Uh-oh.

he was like how much protein are you eating.

(laughing)

He sized me up and he said, given your weight,

you should be having six to eight chicken breasts a day.

Obviously, too much.

But at the time, it does sounds--

- Did he get a second date?

- Hell, no.

(laughing)

(audience applause)

- The key here is this particular woman

had something known as urea cycle disorder,

so she could not properly break down the protein,

had a build-up of ammonia in her system,

which is so unique and so rare.

Right now everyone's thinking, okay,

I can't eat anything and be safe,

but this is a very unique scenario.

- It's one in 8,000 people has this disorder.

- She was taking, by all accounts taking a lot

of this supplement.

I do think any time you're taking supplements,

you have to ask yourself, is this too much

of a good thing.

It's just like everything in life, moderation is key.

- Right.

- The great irony is every snack or meal you have

can have a little bit of protein in it,

and in this case, I'm talking about natural protein.

It does, it helps satisfy your hunger,

it's obviously essential for building muscle

and every other process in the body.

Moderation is key.

Yes, we are very boring here at The Doctors.

(laughing)

The money behind Microtransactions - Duration: 11:19.

Greetings, Earthlings!

Welcome to the Madqueen Show, I am your host the Madqueen

And Mr Ruvver

On today's menu, we are going to talk about the microtransactions in gaming

As we know, in these past years, microtransactions have become a thing in video gaming

Paying more for a game you already paid 60 euros for

Microtransaction is a business model where users can purchase virtual goods via micropayments

You can find two types of games where you can find these micropayments: free-to-play

games, and premium games

What you can get via microtransactions may vary depending on the game, ranging from aesthetic

items that do not affect your gameplay or pay to win assets, that gives you an edge

and advantages over other players that have not invested real money

South Korean developers Nexon started Free-to-Play business model back in 1999 with QuizQuiz

In this trivia-game, you win in-game currency that allows you to buy items to make your

avatar look cool or pay-to-win sunglasses that made you have an advantage in a true-false game

The first case of microtransactions in a AAA game was in Dead Space 3, back in 2013

In this game, you could buy with real money weapons and armor that are not available early

in the game, so if you paid money, you get access to end-game items

EA's Dead Space 3 began the trend of games that could ask for more money from the player

after a full purchase

Wait, EA started this trend?

How could I not imagine this

Cosmetic purchases, skins for your character,

weapons, customization options or just plain progress

Microtransaction has become a tool to squeeze more money from costumers

First, let us talk about free-to-play games

You are able to play them for free, and if you want to progress further in the game in

a faster way, you have the possibility to cut corners by paying money to get that advantage,

like getting better characters, play the game more time, new skills, better weapons, or

things like that In these free to play games, microtransactions

are the source of income of the developers, as these games are delivered for free and

payments inside the game are optional

Games like DOTA2, League of Legends, Hearthstone or mobile games like Clash of Clans fall in this category

As we said, you can play these game for free, but paying money will grant you an advantage

or simply avoid hours of countless grinding to progress in the game

In the Hearthstone example, paying real money will grant you extra packs

These packs do not grant you cards that you do not own, but it will provide you with several

more that you can dust to craft the ones you want to have

When we download a free to play game we may have the impression that these type of games

move a business way smaller than AAA games

As graphics and gameplay is much simpler and they do not make you pay for it to start with,

but with these microtransactions, League of Legends made 1.3 billion dollars and the company

Supercell that created Clash of Clans earned a whopping 2.3 billion in revenue the past

year with all his free to play games for mobile devices

2.3 billion that is half of the total revenue of Electronic Arts for 2017 doing AAA games

so it's not bad for a fraction of the investment

On the other side, we have premium and expensive games that also include this kind of payments

Titles as Overwatch, Deus Ex or FIFA include the option to get new assets via micropayments

This is especially visible in games as FIFA, EA made 1.3 billion in extra content in 2016

and half of it came from Ultimate Team mode

In their annual report, EA stated making 2.4 billion dollars form digital revenue in 2017,

59% of the total revenue of the company

Oh, fuck

Can you whistle for me?

Forget it

And NBA2k made 527 million from microtransactions

In sports games, these in-game payments are

incredibly obvious and annoying, now with the features of "building your dream team"

to play against other people in online mode, you need to amass a huge amount of in-game

currency to buy those packs that give you random players, and of course, the good players

have a very low chance to pop up

Yes, you can grind that currency just playing games, or use the mobile app

That doesn't sound that bad

However, it is so tedious and time-consuming that the game almost incites you to buy that

currency with real money

In NBA2k this is even more obvious, because besides that dream team mode called MyTeam,

if you want to improve your created player to play other online modes, you also need

that in-game currency, known as Virtual currency or VC

So it looks like 2k is saying "if you want to play and have fun with all the

online modes we offer, you need to pay more"

Having in mind that in every game you get along the lines of 800 VC, and having in mind

a game lasts 30 to 40 minutes, you can imagine how long you need to grind to get a significant

amount of currency

If you want to be competitive in these online modes, you are bound to spend real money in

an already expensive game

You can say the developers already spend a huge amount of resources building the game

You need also to pay a lot of money to be able to use the real names and the logos of

the NBA and its teams and to pay royalties to use the names of retired players, but just

remember the numbers given before: microtransactions in sports games are a billionaire business

Rockstar earned 700 million from 2015 to 2016 with GTA V purchases in-game

Having in mind GTA cost nearly 270 million dollars counting both development and marketing,

looks like they made some money back

Because in the 700 million that we just mentioned, the 80 million copies of the game sold are not included

In this kind of titles, there is a subtle difference on what you can get through microtransactions;

for instance, in Overwatch, you can spend extra money for vanity items that don't affect gameplay

In fact, Overwatch generated 80% of Blizzard's revenue from digital channels, up to 1.3 billion

from a player base of 30 million players…

And as we said, only for cosmetic items

Still cheaper than plastic surgery

As we can see, there are different ways to

get money from players

Recently we could see some controversy regarding Playerunknown's Battleground for implementing

microtransactions in early access stages of the game, as you may know; this game is still

in Open Access stages

People argue that this is a lousy movement from Bluehole

But as the creator Brendan Greene stated, if they want to include this characteristic

in-game, they need to polish every aspect and having a healthy market for everyone at official release

He also stated that every player would have a maximum quota of items that can purchase,

up to six per week

Another case is the new Star Wars game, Battlefront II

As we could see in the beta, your progress is linked directly to the purchase of loot

crates, which unlocks special cards and crafting materials that are used to improve your character's

performance and they are only available in these crates

As some YouTubers pointed out, that progress can be made by playing the game, but what

has been showed so far, that indicates an incredibly long grind, making it almost undoable

without paying extra money

EA announced that DLCs and all extra content was going to be delivered for free, but seeing

what we can get, I don't know which model I prefer

I mean, I do not mind loot crates at all, but linking your progression to these crates

and not to your performance when playing…

I think I am going to start not liking them.

They still have time to correct or tweak this loot crate mumbo jumbo, so we will see

Kinda dick move by EA

And the problem is that we are not surprised

There are plenty of examples of games with in-game transactions, like Rocket League,

Deus Ex, Assassins' Creed: Unity…

Some with great success and others that gave a lot of backlash to their companies

The worst part of microtransactions is that we're talking about one of the most expensive

goods in mass market: AAA video games

The average cost is of 60€, and now we need to add all the investment in micropayments

that you need to be able to beat or to even advance or be competitive in multiplayer modes

in some kind of games

Microtransactions are here to stay, they give extra revenue to developers and that makes

the industry of video games one of the most successful in the entertainment scene

On the other hand, it also makes the industry a viable one, where the budgets of some video

games are on a par with budgets of big blockbusters in Hollywood

Besides, consumers are now more informed about what they buy and developers cannot count

on the impulse buy caused by hype, as there are many sources of information regarding

the quality of a game days before it is released

El juego del go: Filosofía sobre un tablero. Algo mas que un juego, 1 de 3 - Duration: 32:58.

The game of go. Philosophy on a board. Part 1: More than a game.

Surprise and curiosity often results found with a game called go.

-monosílabo- himself and his name is peculiar and even funny. It is not related with

golf, nor bingo, nor with the gogos disco, nor with football ...; And it's funny

check their permanent presence in the language.

Ah !, moss, plant funnier,

because as I told a friend: can play mus and go!

Go is also the verb go in English but no "gou" it is said, and is "the game will";

is that rare game that comes out in the crosswords as "Japanese game" but

that almost nobody knows. And is that the word Go is the name of the game in Japanese,

in China it is called Weichi; and baduk in Korea.

To play go just need a board and stones, white and black. On the dashboard

You must have drawn a grid or grid. The grid has been used more

historically, it is 19 x 19 lines, it's where the beauty is reflected best

and depth of go. But it is known that ancient Tibet used the 17x17 board;

and in any case, to learn to play you can start with a smaller board,

13x13 or 9x9.

We are surprised to see how the go board is present in everyday life:

There are boards go everywhere ...!

on the tiled floor and walls ...,

in the clothes...,

on the street ... in ... manhole covers, look,

this he has just 19x19! ... It's amazing!

and see you under the Eiffel Tower is a board go!

There are also stones everywhere,

Go but must be oval and round. Good are made of black slate

shell and white; currents are simply of plastic or glass.

They are little buttons, or lentils ... and beware with the kids !, they are not candy.

Usually they placed in two bowls, one 180 181 white and one with black, which gives a

total of 361 stones, as many as intersections have the board, but rarely get to use all

Go is a game of intelligence in which

no chance intervenes; undoubtedly the oldest and fascinating of all the games and

strategy that today is known and practiced. He arrived from the East, where was born more

4,000 years, originally it is directly related to education, because it has

a Chinese legend that was invented by legendary Emperor Yao to instruct his son.

It serves to develop imagination, creativity, ability to concentrate,

the ability to discern the meaning Harmony, proportion and aesthetics

Why in ancient China it was one of the

called four arts, with painting, calligraphy and music.

Old and new at the same time fascinates who finds out, he sees appear before it a

wonderful horizon full of possibilities, an infinite, hidden and mysterious space,

an intangible beauty ... A simple game, yes, but full of values

exceeding playfulness. Hence its appeal, its magic and its millenary existence.

So we ask: What is actually the go?

It may be difficult to understand what is because, really, it does not look like any

another game. Go is a natural, abstract game, subtle, full of logic and common sense.

It is a refreshing space for the mind ... Like another world within the world ...

It is also a way to perceive the ephemeral of existence, and become aware of

different reality, beyond time and space. So it is no coincidence that those

Taoism as special beings called Immortals appear in many representations

playing go. And is that the idea of ​​immortality is present on the board: When a

group of stones is alive, means is indestructible, invulnerable ... a point

insurance support, ie immortal.

Despite its simplicity, the board and go stones

They constitute a profound symbolic language.

- The square represents the material world, Earth.

- And the circle the spiritual world, Heaven. The circle represents the intersection of

wheel with its center, which in turn is the center of the cross, the fifth element, consciousness

- The black and white represent the duality,

as the symbol of Yin and Yang, couples from which everything is born,

binary "on-off" present in all the declared.

The image of a panel full of stones also suggests ways of nature,

called fractal geometry,

in which an apparent chaos within very precise mathematical rules hide.

In a way, go practice becomes an extraordinary learning laboratory.

The game teaches us to be bold yet cautious

The very bold and ambitious behavior is as dangerous as very fearful or conservative.

It should not attack while the defense therefore be neglected.

However, excessive caution does not allow

see opportunities when they present themselves, and causes the loss of initiative in the game.

GO teaches us to persevere in the

project development, but also namely time change strategy.

Do not act rigidly insist ideas that are no longer valid to change the situation.

No need to keep fighting for what is lost,

but at the same time not to leave never fight until

He has not exhausted the last hope.

The go reflects the idea of ​​dynamic equilibrium: The stones should be neither too concentrated

or widely dispersed. Often it is surrounded Rodeador; the dead, alive and dead alive.

The win may be obtained by the accumulation small advantages, although sometimes necessary

risk everything in a decisive battle. Is Undoubtedly the beauty of this dynamism, and

the excitement of these transformations.

Develops the vision go together, the

global vision, and allows you to check the excessive localism, particularism and selfishness,

lead to failure.

Each new stone changes the situation on

the board, and the player must learn to recognize and constantly assess changes.

That assessment must be fair, and therefore must consider the entire board.

The opponent must always be taken into account, because in a way, it is a game of go

construction in which two opponents, even without proponérserlo cooperate in production

a work that can satisfy both the winner and the loser.

The kind of intelligence that puts demands go also involved human qualities: Prudence,

courage, tenacity, serenity ... So no software, play

good to go; nor a human being can play well so machinelike.

Go integrates the activity of both sides the brain, the left, which brings into play the

analytical skills and the right, capacity creative. Therefore also it constitutes an authentic

prevention against all types of disease mind, including Alzheimer's disease.

Go practice gives us serenity, calm and balance, allowing us to leave

aside the problems of everyday life and its load remain at least for a while

The concentration and abstraction

facilitating the go can even serve to overcome pain, as in the case many times

represented a large Japanese character He is playing to go as he performed

an operation arm.

The passion and captivates go because it's something that You are discovering oneself. But after a certain

time, a surprising discovery is made: life go and look. How?:

- The game starts with an empty board and, at least in principle, we have much

freedom to go where placing stones We want. Even the stages in which

develops the game: fuseki, chuban, and yose, keep a parallelism

with what is youth, maturity and old age.

In the first stage are plotted the main lines of what will come next,

in the second fully developed our capabilities, and the third is collected

the fruits as lived before. - That initial freedom that is necessary

find meaning or strategy: We need know what to do. Should we not also

discover a meaning in life?

- Go is easy and difficult at the same time.

The simplicity of its rules contrasts with its extraordinary degree of depth and subtlety.

And this paradox leads to another: a master of Go knows how to find the easiest way

play, something that costs a lot of beginners, those who choose very complicated moves,

with disastrous results. - A novice player craves go capturing stones

yet one learns expert sacrifice. It's the same difference

between childishness and maturity. - We play go according to our understanding

the game. Also, necessarily entails living a way of understanding life.

- Each item is different, as is each new day. It is therefore necessary to maintain

the ability to see everything as something new if we want to improve both the go and in life.

Otherwise it falls into the routine, automatism and mechanicalness, main

causes of degradation and aging.

- The go also brings us closer to knowledge

of the laws of life and nature. He board would become a small ecosystem

where everything is harmonically related, and the player is discovering the laws that govern it.

- Like life, the go is dynamic, deep

and mysterious. It shows you always have anything beyond that still do not see but can

discover. So grows the philosophical search and innate sense at all

Humans. Search for balance and harmony, pursuit of abstract beauty that is hidden

behind all forms, search for knowledge.

- And, both on board and in life, that knowledge is what will make us truly

free, as it will allow us to choose which our movements and actions correctly.

In this way the go becomes a way of moral development, consisting of

always seek the best move, the right thing, the best way to act.

One way of overcoming mistakes, their weaknesses,

they are, really, our main adversary.

Go is therefore a purely human game,

and the game comes to amount to a conversation in which both players are showing on

the board even the most intimate aspects of his personality. That's why they call in Japan

"Shudan" which means "language without words ", understood without words," speak without speaking. "

This explains the Chinese proverb that says, "Use the wei-chi to make friends"

since the go facilitates personal relationship and mutual understanding.

Inevitably,

the style of play will reveal whether the player It is aggressive, ambitious, impetuous, reflective,

generous or stingy, bold or coward unruly or submissive, rigid or flexible ...

Therefore we can say that the go is a game purely human, typical of humans,

endowed with discernment and conscience. Although it might be doubted this claim,

if we consider the answer Emanuel Lasker, world champion chess between

1894 and 1921, gave a reporter when he He asked about the go:

"Chess is limited to the inhabitants of Earth, but if there are intelligent beings

on some other planet, surely they know the go. "

All these aspects explain why the go has been and continues to be applied to different

fields of human activity. As a strategy game par excellence,

GO is highly regarded by diplomats and politicians, and it has been traditionally part in the

curriculum of military academies, both Chinese and Japanese, because it can

They are embodied much of the principles contained in the classic treatise by Sun Tzu:

"The Art of War", which some It could well be called "The Art of Peace"

largely because it is dedicated to how prevent conflicts before they occur.

Also in the go he dominates the idea of ​​"living and let live ", not Checkmate, own

Chess; and although there is also life and Death on the go, this death is the same as

It exists in nature, due to natural laws.

Although there is no struggle with the physical body, the go is considered a martial art, because

on the board develops a true combat, where the psychological aspects

and mental are of fundamental importance.

This explains why the mental strength of Go players

is valued with a category system similar to martial arts. And also

He explains why many samurais practiced go.

The go was also chosen by many monks Buddhists, it reflects well one of the

fundamental concepts of Buddhism: Detachment.

It may be that one or more stones have

had a crucial importance at a time of the game, but once circumstances

have changed, you have to play with the possibility abandoning.

And in recent times it has gained prominence the implementation of business development go

and the business world, it is known that most Japanese executives

I usually practice. Leisure and business joined on the board, where negotiations

and exchange gains and losses, growth and expansion ...

Both go as business is important have a proper sense of risk, spirit

of a company, its great strategist.

All these values ​​go explain that their

dissemination in the West will be increasing.

They are known some books that talk about the go: Shibumi, Jian, the player go, Chung Kuo ...

And it is known poem dedicated to him Jorge Luis Borges:

"Today, September 9, 1978, I had the palm a small disc

of three hundred and sixty one required for the astrological game of go,

that other chess East. It is older than the oldest writing

and the board is a map of the universe ... "

There are also some films in which

GO appears: "Pi, Faith in Chaos" and "A Beautiful Mind," based on the

life of John Nash, Nobel Prize in 1994. Nash he perfected the "Game Theory"

Von Neumann and Morgenstern, establishing the chances of a clash of opposites

both sides can win.

It is striking the complex reaction of Nash,

in the film, when you lose a game of Go.

Gradually are the number of Western who accept this legacy from the East. Nevertheless,

It is still pending recovery value traditionally had in the past:

cultural, artistic and philosophical value. A value that will allow Western man

use the game as a way of overcoming staff, value for the Japanese

Kido speak of "the path of go".

Having gone through the centuries with rules

game so simple and almost invariable They give the flavor of the classic: I old

and once again, not subject to fashions, always attractive ...

His likeness with life make it a simple learning laboratory where

each stone is putting us clear life aspects,

of ourselves and others.

a tool in our power to develop and keep our minds active,

while we had fun.

with many hours of free time at our disposal, the go is presented

as an alternative extraordinary entertainment, clean, green,

for anyone

of any age. A real challenge for who we are not satisfied with amusements

passive usual, but we seek leisure quality where to test our

capabilities and develop them.

crime and so many other problems of our time.

Therefore, we can say that the go is more than a game. That recondite, mysterious

and attractive ..., that enchants the go, that that every human being seeks even unknowingly,

It is nothing other than knowledge, but not a mere academic knowledge;

depth knowledge of the laws of Life and Nature, the universal knowledge

that every human being, of any age and Instead, you need and want to learn.

This is the natural relationship go with -understood philosophy is in its traditional sense,

as love of wisdom, and this relationship produces the real discovery of the game,

thus it is showing us its deepest aspect and magic.

Magic, ultimately, is what has motivated the survival of go for thousands of years,

and guarantee its existence in the future.
