Light guns have been a popular video game accessory ever since the first home video
game system, the Magnavox Odyssey, was released back in the early 70s.
An add-on for the Odyssey was released called "Shooting Gallery" and this is cited as the
first ever video game light gun.
As well as containing the realistic looking rifle, Shooting Gallery provided players with
4 new light gun games that they could play on their TVs at home - Shootout!, Shooting
Gallery, Prehistoric Safari and Dogfight!
The add-on proved to be quite popular and left a lasting impression on the blossoming
video game industry.
The market would soon see an influx of light gun games and accessories, both in arcades
and on home devices.
However, none would be so popular as Nintendo's offering for the NES.
The Zapper, as it was known in Western markets, was released in North America in 1985 and
originally sported a grey, futuristic appearance.
The light gun was compatible with NES games such as Duck Hunt and Wild Gunman and has
become an iconic part of pop culture.
But, did you know that the accessory had a very different design over in its home country
of Japan?
Whilst Western gamers will either remember the gun as a grey, 'ray gun'-like device or
its later re-design, which swapped out the grey colour scheme for an orange coat of paint,
Japanese gamers will remember a much more realistic looking device.
The "Zapper" in Japan was simply called "The Gun" and was based on a traditional revolver
weapon.
The device was dark black with a brown handle and it looked very realistic.
This isn't the only example of a light gun being made less realistic outside of Japan.
The majority of guns produced following the late 80s were given bright colour schemes
and other toy-like alterations.
For instance, the Sega Saturn's Virtua Gun, or the "Stunner" as it's known in North America,
was released in Japan with a dark black colour scheme.
This was changed for US and European markets though, with the US receiving a red version
and Europe a blue version.
This brings up the question of why these changes were made.
Were they simply Western marketing decisions or is there something deeper behind it?
Now, as mentioned, prior to the late 80s, light guns were much more realistic, such
as the Magnavox Odyssey's Shooting Gallery.
However, following a growing concern in the United States that these weapons resembled
real weapons too much, a rise of accidental deaths from police caused by imitation firearms,
as well as an increase in crime being committed with fake weapons - a lot of pressure was
put on the US government to regulate them.
This led to laws being created in 1989, under the Code of Federal Regulations Title 15,
Subtitle B, Chapter II, Subchapter H, Part 272 - MARKING OF TOY, LOOK-ALIKE AND IMITATION
FIREARMS.
The regulation specified here applies to not just video game light guns but most imitation
weapons.
This is also the reason why many toy gun retailers will often place disclaimers stating that
all guns are sold with an orange tip and that removing it will be punishable by law.
The exact requirements specified by law are as follows:
Either...
(a) A blaze orange or orange color brighter than that specified by the federal standard
color number, solid plug permanently affixed to the muzzle end of the barrel as an integral
part of the entire device and recessed no more than 6 millimeters from the muzzle end
of the barrel.
(b) A blaze orange or orange color brighter than that specified by the Federal Standard
color number, marking permanently affixed to the exterior surface of the barrel, covering
the circumference of the barrel from the muzzle end for a depth of at least 6 millimeters.
(c) Construction of the device entirely of transparent or translucent materials which
permits unmistakable observation of the device's complete contents.
(d) Coloration of the entire exterior surface of the device in white, bright red, bright
orange, bright yellow, bright green, bright blue, bright pink, or bright purple, either
singly or as the predominant color in combination with other colors in any pattern.
This seems to be the reason why the NES Zapper was later redesigned from the original grey
design to the later orange model.
As for why it was initially grey and futuristic, rather than Japan's black revolver style,
this was likely something that Nintendo decided to do themselves due to the differences in
culture between the West and Japan, as well as their commitment to try and keep their
brand as family friendly as possible in the West.
It wasn't just the Zapper that would be toned down in later models.
The Sega Master System's Light Phaser was originally released in entirely black.
This was later redesigned so that the light gun had a bright orange tip.
Curiously, the original all-black Light Phaser would be much later used to hold a woman hostage
in Brazil in 2009.
The elderly woman was released safe and well after 10 hours of negotiations.
It's not just light guns either.
Most fake weapons were affected by this law, including devices such as the Super Soaker
water pistols.
It's interesting to take a look at how different the Super Soaker catalogues were from 1987
and prior and then following.
In 1987, the catalogue was full of realistic-looking designs, such as these.
That all changed in later years though, with them all being made extremely colourful and
toy-like.
Bringing things back to video game light guns, one of the latest to be toned down outside
of Japan is Namco's GunCon 3, which was released overseas in bright orange, whilst the Japanese
version was pure black.
In fact, the GunCon 1 and GunCon 2 were also released in Japan in black.
The US version of the GunCon 1, however , was painted grey with an orange muzzle, whilst
the European version was also grey but didn't have the orange tip.
The US version of the GunCon 2, though, was completely orange and the European version
was blue.
Important to point out is that you will occasionally be able to find light guns from 3rd parties
that don't meet these US regulations, although, these could potentially be found to be breaching
US law.
These regulations are still in effect today and, despite the decrease in popularity of
light gun games, as well as certain issues they have with modern day TVs, this is something
you may want to keep in mind when it comes to any possible future releases.
What do you think of these regulations and do you prefer the US Zapper design or the
Japanese one?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and, until next time, thank you for
watching.

Trump Is Right About Syria (Sometimes...) | World War 3 V | Syria 18 - Duration: 6:11.
Hey there.
It feels like years ago, but back in March Donald Trump suggested that it was time to
get out of Syria.
All of Washington, DC and US media has teamed up to convince him otherwise.
This is a shame.
It is time to get out of Syria.
This truth is illustrated by the US's two greatest failures, in Iraq and Vietnam.
On a first look our approach to Syria doesn't look anything like Iraq or Vietnam.
But I would argue that that's because we don't remember those conflicts correctly.
For most people, the big mistake in Iraq was Bush's invasion in 2003.
And for those who remember, the big mistake in Vietnam was president Johnson's massive
escalation after 1964.
Very few are suggesting anything like that for Syria.
But let me correct that.
Very few are suggesting anything like that for Syria…
So far.
People pay a lot less attention to the decisions that led up to 2003 and 1964.
The Baby Boomers have put John F Kennedy up on a pedestal, and Washington DC really likes
to see the first Gulf war in 1991 as a victory.
Both of these myths, and they are myths, hide the truth.
We were deeply involved in these countries long before the big mistake years.
We set traps for ourselves.
I'm not trying to defend George W. Bush or LBJ, they both lied to create pointless
wars with multi-million person body counts.
But their choices were logical progressions from bad choices that had already been made.
The US government set traps for itself.
The situations in these countries were completely of our own making.
This garbage was somehow seen as building our credibility with allies and opponents.
The first Bush's Gulf war never ended.
In the 1980s we worked with our Arab allies to create Saddam Hussein's war machine to
fight Iran.
When Saddam went rogue the first Bush got to throw his Gulf War party in 1991.
The Iraqi occupation started back then, not in 2003.
There were no-fly zones and brutal sanctions throughout the 1990s.
Clinton bombed the country repeatedly and inaugurated an official policy of regime change
in 1998.
Bush's actual invasion of Iraq in 2003 was just a continuation of the same policy.
The US involvement in Vietnam dated back to the 1950s.
We funded the last years of France's failed and brutal attempt to hold on to that country.
Our CIA was on the ground throughout this period.
The first US soldiers arrived in 1955 under Eisenhower.
Kennedy dramatically expanded the war.
We held onto the fiction that our troops were just advisers, and not really involved in
combat.
We can see that fiction in Syria today as well.
The adviser myth ended under LBJ when our troop levels went up to over half a million
US soldiers.
Both of these terrible decisions were taken in the framework of a world that the United
States led, debatably in 1964 but unquestionably in 2003.
Our parents and grandparents had built a world system so effective that even today, after
all our squandered opportunities, it has the potential to endure.
Can you imagine how much stronger that system would be if we hadn't gone into Iraq?
The survival of the US-led system is a much more open question in 2018 than it was in
1964 or 2003.
What the US government is proposing in Syria today isn't the same as a 1964 or a 2003.
It's more of a 1955 or a 1998.
We're just going to keep our 2000 troops there until ISIS is defeated, Assad falls,
and Iran no longer has any regional influence.
In other words Washington wants to keep our troops there forever.
Once again it's all about US credibility, whatever that means.
The US government wants to set another trap for itself, to put things in place that make
a Syrian 1964 or 2003 inevitable.
Whether it's 5 years from now or ten years from now, some foreign policy genius will
decide that an invasion is the only way to solve this problem we created.
But we can no longer afford this.
5 to 10 years from now we will have real rivals again.
I still believe, like Abraham Lincoln, that the United States can be the last, best hope
for this planet.
Even today, much of the world still believes that we can be better than we have been these
past 17 years.
That'is what our goal should be for the time on top we have left.
We should be working to convince the world that the world system built by our parents
and grandparents is worthwhile.
Outside of the countries and regions sacrificed to our various complexes, that system has
in fact done a great deal of good.
We should be working to strengthen that system so that all of the world's rising actors
can benefit from it, and so that the system shifts from an American-led system to one
that provides ever growing prosperity to all, from here to the stars.
This is still very possible.
We can still salvage the respect of the world.
The first step would be getting out of Syria.
If we don't get out of Syria, history has a very good chance of repeating itself, creating
another decades long disaster.
And in the coming decades we won't be competing with small or fading powers like Iran and
the Soviets.
We will be competing with China.
Which is the topic of our next video.

Helpful Dating Phrasal Verbs about Love & Relationships 💖 - Duration: 7:19.
Have I got a fun lesson for you today.
Because we're talking about dating and phrasal verbs.
Two of your favorite things, right, right, right, right?
Phrasal verbs...yay!
So much learning. So much fun.
Yay, English.
Sorry. I'm done.
Today we're talking about dating and phrasal verbs.
And the reason I chose this category is because...
Well, first it's fun. Who doesn't want to talk about dating?
But second is because one of the best ways to learn
phrasal verbs is by putting them in categories.
Otherwise, phrasal verbs can get a little bit confusing.
And if you're finding them difficult, don't worry.
You are not the only one.
And they're difficult because we have to memorize them.
And the meaning can change depending on what preposition we're using.
Putting them in a category like dating makes it a lot easier to remember.
So we're going to learn about these, and we're going to practice them together.
Are you ready to have some wonderful English fun with some beautiful phrasal verbs?
Let's go.
Number one...AKS OUT.
And usually we ask someone out.
To ask someone out means to invite someone for drinks or for a movie or for dinner.
Because you are interested in them.
You want to have a relationship with this person, so you ask them out.
Number two...to GO OUT.
Now to go out nice to date someone and have a romantic relationship with them.
To spend a lot of time with this person.
Basically, when you're going out with someone. It means you are dating this person.
You are boyfriend/girlfriend kind of...situation.
Number three...HOOK UP.
Now this one's a little bit more informal.
Because if two people hook up, it's usually when they're just starting a relationship.
Or they're in that stage before a relationship.
And they're just kind of...getting together.
I don't know how to say this without sounding sexual.
When two people hook up, it's very open. It's very casual.
They're starting a new relationship, or maybe it's the beginning of a sexual encounter.
Number four...MAKE OUT.
Oh gosh. Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?
Just me? Okay. Okay. I'll come down.
To make out means to kiss and touch in a sensual, sexual way.
That's what it means to make out.
I'm such a child. I'm always laughing at these.
Number five...COME ON TO.
Come on to is to behave in a certain way that shows that you are attracted to someone.
And you'd like to have some kind of relationship, romantic relationship with this person.
If you're coming on to someone, it just means you're showing them that you're interested.
When Wes was coming on to me when we first started dating,
I thought he was the biggest dork ever.
Because he kept talking about his socks and sandals.
And like that was supposed to impress me. I don't get it.
Number six to FLIRT WITH SOMEONE.
To flirt with someone means to behave in such a way
that you are showing that you are romantically interested in this person.
This one's a lot of fun because it requires two people
It's about fun and engaging with a person.
So your kind of going back and forth in this fun cute banter.
You flirt to this person, the other person flirts with you.
To flirt with someone.
Number seven is to BREAK UP WITH SOMEONE.
And this one's a little bit sadder because it means at the end of a relationship.
And this could also be found as SPLIT UP WITH SOMEONE.
So if you're trying to break up with someone, it means that you are done.
This is the end. You are trying to end this relationship.
You want to break up with a person.
Number eight to GET OVER SOMEONE.
This one is a good one.
And it just means to start to feel happy again after a relationship has ended.
When you break up with someone, you are not the happiest person.
You're probably sad and a little depressed.
But as you get over someone, those feelings of happiness start coming back.
To get over someone.
I hope you enjoyed learning these new phrasal verbs.
And now it's time to practice them.
Choose one of the phrasal verbs that we talked about
today and write a sentence in the comments.
If you're feeling adventurous, write two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, sentences.
As many as it takes because the more you practice the better you will be.
And this is especially true for phrasal verbs.
Well, that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this lesson.
And if you did, please give this video a thumbs up.
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time.
Bye.

The Real Reason Light Guns Look Different In The US - Duration: 6:49.
Before we begin with the video, I just want to thank Nintendo Switch Amino for sponsoring
today's episode.
Amino is great network of communities for virtually any topic in existence, full of
friendly people who love the same things you're into.
It's available to download for free on your mobile devices and you can see just a few
of the wide-range of Amino Communities available on screen now.
Going along well with today's video is the Nintendo Switch Amino - which holds overwhelmingly
positive reviews on the app store.
Here you will be able to connect with other Nintendo Switch fans and start discussions,
catch up on news, take part in polls and share videos, memes and more.
There's also fun quizzes and lots of other cool things to do.
For instance, here was me earlier commenting in one of the chat rooms on a retro Game Boy
advert somebody shared.
If you're a fan of Nintendo you should really take at least a few seconds to check it out
yourself by clicking on the link at the top of the description.
For all Nintendo conversation, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, there's no place quite
like Amino.
Light guns have been a popular video game accessory ever since the first home video
game system, the Magnavox Odyssey, was released back in the early 70s.
An add-on for the Odyssey was released called "Shooting Gallery" and this is cited as the
first ever video game light gun.
As well as containing the realistic looking rifle, Shooting Gallery provided players with
4 new light gun games that they could play on their TVs at home - Shootout!, Shooting
Gallery, Prehistoric Safari and Dogfight!
The add-on proved to be quite popular and left a lasting impression on the blossoming
video game industry.
The market would soon see an influx of light gun games and accessories, both in arcades
and on home devices.
However, none would be so popular as Nintendo's offering for the NES.
The Zapper, as it was known in Western markets, was released in North America in 1985 and
originally sported a grey, futuristic appearance.
The light gun was compatible with NES games such as Duck Hunt and Wild Gunman and has
become an iconic part of pop culture.
But, did you know that the accessory had a very different design over in its home country
of Japan?
Whilst Western gamers will either remember the gun as a grey, 'ray gun'-like device or
its later re-design, which swapped out the grey colour scheme for an orange coat of paint,
Japanese gamers will remember a much more realistic looking device.
The "Zapper" in Japan was simply called "The Gun" and was based on a traditional revolver
weapon.
The device was dark black with a brown handle and it looked very realistic.
This isn't the only example of a light gun being made less realistic outside of Japan.
The majority of guns produced following the late 80s were given bright colour schemes
and other toy-like alterations.
For instance, the Sega Saturn's Virtua Gun, or the "Stunner" as it's known in North America,
was released in Japan with a dark black colour scheme.
This was changed for US and European markets though, with the US receiving a red version
and Europe a blue version.
This brings up the question of why these changes were made.
Were they simply Western marketing decisions or is there something deeper behind it?
Now, as mentioned, prior to the late 80s, light guns were much more realistic, such
as the Magnavox Odyssey's Shooting Gallery.
However, following a growing concern in the United States that these weapons resembled
real weapons too much, a rise of accidental deaths from police caused by imitation firearms,
as well as an increase in crime being committed with fake weapons - a lot of pressure was
put on the US government to regulate them.
This led to laws being created in 1989, under the Code of Federal Regulations Title 15,
Subtitle B, Chapter II, Subchapter H, Part 272 - MARKING OF TOY, LOOK-ALIKE AND IMITATION
FIREARMS.
The regulation specified here applies to not just video game light guns but most imitation
weapons.
This is also the reason why many toy gun retailers will often place disclaimers stating that
all guns are sold with an orange tip and that removing it will be punishable by law.
The exact requirements specified by law are as follows:
Either...
(a) A blaze orange or orange color brighter than that specified by the federal standard
color number, solid plug permanently affixed to the muzzle end of the barrel as an integral
part of the entire device and recessed no more than 6 millimeters from the muzzle end
of the barrel.
(b) A blaze orange or orange color brighter than that specified by the Federal Standard
color number, marking permanently affixed to the exterior surface of the barrel, covering
the circumference of the barrel from the muzzle end for a depth of at least 6 millimeters.
(c) Construction of the device entirely of transparent or translucent materials which
permits unmistakable observation of the device's complete contents.
(d) Coloration of the entire exterior surface of the device in white, bright red, bright
orange, bright yellow, bright green, bright blue, bright pink, or bright purple, either
singly or as the predominant color in combination with other colors in any pattern.
This seems to be the reason why the NES Zapper was later redesigned from the original grey
design to the later orange model.
As for why it was initially grey and futuristic, rather than Japan's black revolver style,
this was likely something that Nintendo decided to do themselves due to the differences in
culture between the West and Japan, as well as their commitment to try and keep their
brand as family friendly as possible in the West.
It wasn't just the Zapper that would be toned down in later models.
The Sega Master System's Light Phaser was originally released in entirely black.
This was later redesigned so that the light gun had a bright orange tip.
Curiously, the original all-black Light Phaser would be much later used to hold a woman hostage
in Brazil in 2009.
The elderly woman was released safe and well after 10 hours of negotiations.
It's not just light guns either.
Most fake weapons were affected by this law, including devices such as the Super Soaker
water pistols.
It's interesting to take a look at how different the Super Soaker catalogues were from 1987
and prior and then following.
In 1987, the catalogue was full of realistic-looking designs, such as these.
That all changed in later years though, with them all being made extremely colourful and
toy-like.
Bringing things back to video game light guns, one of the latest to be toned down outside
of Japan is Namco's GunCon 3, which was released overseas in bright orange, whilst the Japanese
version was pure black.
In fact, the GunCon 1 and GunCon 2 were also released in Japan in black.
The US version of the GunCon 1, however , was painted grey with an orange muzzle, whilst
the European version was also grey but didn't have the orange tip.
The US version of the GunCon 2, though, was completely orange and the European version
was blue.
Important to point out is that you will occasionally be able to find light guns from 3rd parties
that don't meet these US regulations, although, these could potentially be found to be breaching
US law.
These regulations are still in effect today and, despite the decrease in popularity of
light gun games, as well as certain issues they have with modern day TVs, this is something
you may want to keep in mind when it comes to any possible future releases.
What do you think of these regulations and do you prefer the US Zapper design or the
Japanese one?

Trump Is Right About Syria (Sometimes...) | World War 3 V | Syria 18 - Duration: 6:11.
Hey there.
It feels like years ago, but back in March Donald Trump suggested that it was time to
get out of Syria.
All of Washington, DC and US media has teamed up to convince him otherwise.
This is a shame.
It is time to get out of Syria.
This truth is illustrated by the US's two greatest failures, in Iraq and Vietnam.
On a first look our approach to Syria doesn't look anything like Iraq or Vietnam.
But I would argue that that's because we don't remember those conflicts correctly.
For most people, the big mistake in Iraq was Bush's invasion in 2003.
And for those who remember, the big mistake in Vietnam was president Johnson's massive
escalation after 1964.
Very few are suggesting anything like that for Syria.
But let me correct that.
Very few are suggesting anything like that for Syria…
So far.
People pay a lot less attention to the decisions that led up to 2003 and 1964.
The Baby Boomers have put John F Kennedy up on a pedestal, and Washington DC really likes
to see the first Gulf war in 1991 as a victory.
Both of these myths, and they are myths, hide the truth.
We were deeply involved in these countries long before the big mistake years.
We set traps for ourselves.
I'm not trying to defend George W. Bush or LBJ, they both lied to create pointless
wars with multi-million person body counts.
But their choices were logical progressions from bad choices that had already been made.
The US government set traps for itself.
The situations in these countries were completely of our own making.
This garbage was somehow seen as building our credibility with allies and opponents.
The first Bush's Gulf war never ended.
In the 1980s we worked with our Arab allies to create Saddam Hussein's war machine to
fight Iran.
When Saddam went rogue the first Bush got to throw his Gulf War party in 1991.
The Iraqi occupation started back then, not in 2003.
There were no-fly zones and brutal sanctions throughout the 1990s.
Clinton bombed the country repeatedly and inaugurated an official policy of regime change
in 1998.
Bush's actual invasion of Iraq in 2003 was just a continuation of the same policy.
The US involvement in Vietnam dated back to the 1950s.
We funded the last years of France's failed and brutal attempt to hold on to that country.
Our CIA was on the ground throughout this period.
The first US soldiers arrived in 1955 under Eisenhower.
Kennedy dramatically expanded the war.
We held onto the fiction that our troops were just advisers, and not really involved in
combat.
We can see that fiction in Syria today as well.
The adviser myth ended under LBJ when our troop levels went up to over half a million
US soldiers.
Both of these terrible decisions were taken in the framework of a world that the United
States led, debatably in 1964 but unquestionably in 2003.
Our parents and grandparents had built a world system so effective that even today, after
all our squandered opportunities, it has the potential to endure.
Can you imagine how much stronger that system would be if we hadn't gone into Iraq?
The survival of the US-led system is a much more open question in 2018 than it was in
1964 or 2003.
What the US government is proposing in Syria today isn't the same as a 1964 or a 2003.
It's more of a 1955 or a 1998.
We're just going to keep our 2000 troops there until ISIS is defeated, Assad falls,
and Iran no longer has any regional influence.
In other words Washington wants to keep our troops there forever.
Once again it's all about US credibility, whatever that means.
The US government wants to set another trap for itself, to put things in place that make
a Syrian 1964 or 2003 inevitable.
Whether it's 5 years from now or ten years from now, some foreign policy genius will
decide that an invasion is the only way to solve this problem we created.
But we can no longer afford this.
5 to 10 years from now we will have real rivals again.
I still believe, like Abraham Lincoln, that the United States can be the last, best hope
for this planet.
Even today, much of the world still believes that we can be better than we have been these
past 17 years.
That'is what our goal should be for the time on top we have left.
We should be working to convince the world that the world system built by our parents
and grandparents is worthwhile.
Outside of the countries and regions sacrificed to our various complexes, that system has
in fact done a great deal of good.
We should be working to strengthen that system so that all of the world's rising actors
can benefit from it, and so that the system shifts from an American-led system to one
that provides ever growing prosperity to all, from here to the stars.
This is still very possible.
We can still salvage the respect of the world.
The first step would be getting out of Syria.
If we don't get out of Syria, history has a very good chance of repeating itself, creating
another decades long disaster.
And in the coming decades we won't be competing with small or fading powers like Iran and
the Soviets.
We will be competing with China.
Which is the topic of our next video.

Gear Spotlight: Don't miss a moment with Battery World ► All 4 Adventure TV - Duration: 1:33.
Oh you're joking me.
Oh no if you wouldn't want to miss a moment like that when you're out in the bush.
There is no accessible power out here when we have to run multiple fridges, boat loaders,
devices to charge, and cameras to record for days on end.
If we ran out of power in the bush, we wouldn't be able to continue making television until
the next town.
Battery World spent countless hours making sure that we were prepared for this trip and
that they installed the best gear.
But imagine that you're out on the trip of a lifetime or a family holiday,
and your fridge goes flat.
Which means all your food goes off.
Or even your camera battery dies and you miss out on capturing that perfect shot.
These are the memories that you don't want ruined.
Make sure you've got enough power when you're out in the bush.
Let Battery World set you up with everything you need from your TV remote to going remote.
Oh you're joking me.
You're kidding me.
You just pulled a red emperor out of the creek.

Yes, Japanese cherry blossom trees.
Everyone takes photos here.
Now that were here in this Japanese/Swedish garden we're going to answer a suiting Question of the Day.
Several have asked this question, one is Matilda Pettersson:
"What country would you like to live in? I live in Australia".
I want to go to Malaysia.
-Do you want to live in Malaysia? -Yes.
I want to live in Hong Kong.
-Why? -Because my old friend Hin Hin lives there.
That's true. When we were in Singapore about two-three years ago..
Alma met a boy named Hin Hin and he lived in Hong Kong. That's why you want to move there.
We can start by traveling there.
-He kept hugging me all the time. -You hugged a lot. You liked each other.
I just love that about kids. They can play even if they don't speak the same language.
Definitely.
How about you? Where do you want to live?
Well, these are Japanese cherry blossoms, Japan is what turns... What comes to mind.
-Is what turns you on? -Japan turns me on...! No, Japan comes to mind.
It would be fun. At least taking a trip there. I've understood it's very different from the rest of the world.
-But what about living? -Maybe New Zealand.
I'm also thinking New Zealand, or Australia.
New Zealand has everything. That turns me on.
-The kids are going. -They've given up. Let's get something to eat.
This is good, for the mood as well. You've got ice cream in your beard!
-Man, this beard... -Do you think Axel should shave?
-I think so. -Me too.
-But you can't keep the mustache. -No, no mustache.
-We can have a poll, a beard poll. -Yeah, that's right!
Should Axel shave or not?
Vote!
It's time to go home. Don't forget that our stuff is up on Shpock!
-Thank you for watching this video. -Yes, thank you!

Helpful Dating Phrasal Verbs about Love & Relationships 💖 - Duration: 7:19.
Have I got a fun lesson for you today.
Because we're talking about dating and phrasal verbs.
Two of your favorite things, right, right, right, right?
Phrasal verbs...yay!
So much learning. So much fun.
Yay, English.
Sorry. I'm done.
Today we're talking about dating and phrasal verbs.
And the reason I chose this category is because...
Well, first it's fun. Who doesn't want to talk about dating?
But second is because one of the best ways to learn
phrasal verbs is by putting them in categories.
Otherwise, phrasal verbs can get a little bit confusing.
And if you're finding them difficult, don't worry.
You are not the only one.
And they're difficult because we have to memorize them.
And the meaning can change depending on what preposition we're using.
Putting them in a category like dating makes it a lot easier to remember.
So we're going to learn about these, and we're going to practice them together.
Are you ready to have some wonderful English fun with some beautiful phrasal verbs?
Let's go.
Number one...AKS OUT.
And usually we ask someone out.
To ask someone out means to invite someone for drinks or for a movie or for dinner.
Because you are interested in them.
You want to have a relationship with this person, so you ask them out.
Number two...to GO OUT.
Now to go out nice to date someone and have a romantic relationship with them.
To spend a lot of time with this person.
Basically, when you're going out with someone. It means you are dating this person.
You are boyfriend/girlfriend kind of...situation.
Number three...HOOK UP.
Now this one's a little bit more informal.
Because if two people hook up, it's usually when they're just starting a relationship.
Or they're in that stage before a relationship.
And they're just kind of...getting together.
I don't know how to say this without sounding sexual.
When two people hook up, it's very open. It's very casual.
They're starting a new relationship, or maybe it's the beginning of a sexual encounter.
Number four...MAKE OUT.
Oh gosh. Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?
Just me? Okay. Okay. I'll come down.
To make out means to kiss and touch in a sensual, sexual way.
That's what it means to make out.
I'm such a child. I'm always laughing at these.
Number five...COME ON TO.
Come on to is to behave in a certain way that shows that you are attracted to someone.
And you'd like to have some kind of relationship, romantic relationship with this person.
If you're coming on to someone, it just means you're showing them that you're interested.
When Wes was coming on to me when we first started dating,
I thought he was the biggest dork ever.
Because he kept talking about his socks and sandals.
And like that was supposed to impress me. I don't get it.
Number six to FLIRT WITH SOMEONE.
To flirt with someone means to behave in such a way
that you are showing that you are romantically interested in this person.
This one's a lot of fun because it requires two people
It's about fun and engaging with a person.
So your kind of going back and forth in this fun cute banter.
You flirt to this person, the other person flirts with you.
To flirt with someone.
Number seven is to BREAK UP WITH SOMEONE.
And this one's a little bit sadder because it means at the end of a relationship.
And this could also be found as SPLIT UP WITH SOMEONE.
