Youtube daily report w Aug 24 2018

Danish sounds odd.

Like a throat condition.

Like Danes are holding back a cough.

Or maybe they got a potato stuck in their throats.

Apparently... at least, that's what everyone's telling me.

But why?

Why does Danish sound so funny to people?

I recently explored how Swedes, Norwegians and Danes can all communicate without having

to switch languages.

But this wasn't fair and even – some languages were more intelligible than others.

The internet eagerly pointed its finger at one language in particular: Danish did it.

I post a video and I'm told that Danish is a throat condition.

I log into social media, and I read about the potato in their throat.

I go visit a discussion board, and it's a "strangled goose".

A study tells me Swedish kids hear Danish as uglier and stranger than Danes do Swedish.

Sure, some of this is "banter" and "good-natured teasing".

But even taking it all with a grain of salty herring, I still have to ask: what makes Danish

sound so funny?

Maybe I could just add my own theory.

I'll blame it on too much Danish butter in their kringler.

But no, this is NativLang, so you already know what we're about to do: sift through

the history of Danish to uncover what specifically about its pronunciation makes it stand out.

Now, Danish is notoriously hard to learn to pronounce.

You'll hear me try, but somebody please back me up.

("Rødgrød med fløde".)

Whew, ok!

Travel back in time, once upon a 1300 years ago.

Denmark was speaking an Indo-European Germanic language with a unique Northern flavor,

which we call Old Norse.

To them it's the "dǫnsk tunga", the Danetongue.

Throughout Scandinavia, this is a time of unity.

Everywhere you go, Norse sounds like Norse.

But soon these Danetonguers grow restless and get upgraded to Viking status.

In the Viking Age, something will change.

It starts in Denmark.

A Dane, probably many Danes but definitely this one, decides, "I'm going to say my vowels

differently", which leads East Norse to split away from West Norse.

It's the start of a trend, the perfect setup for the rest of our story: Hey, everybody,

there was another sound change in Denmark!

And at this point, over a thousand years ago, we can officially call it "Danmǫrk", the

Dane march.

See, this runestone says so.

The Vikings settle down.

The Middle Ages settle in.

At this point, Scandinavia is a continuum of dialects that smoothly trace their origins

to East and West Norse.

Oh, and the too often forgotten Old Gutnish on its own island, where vowels sometimes

didn't agree with either Norse, West or East.

Officially though, this is an era of Latin.

Not too much written Norse.

Until Denmark decides to go medieval and ink the Scanian Law.

Thanks to scribal copying this law was available in multiple versions, including this awesome

one in Runes.

Its words show off another Danish change: unstressed vowels are getting weaker.

This is how your nicely distinguished endings in Swedish and Norwegian will all end up in

Danish with /ə/, /ə/, /ə/!

Meanwhile, the Hanseatic League is uniting to dominate the continent's northern coast,

which brings a war and many new words from Middle Low German.

Or Middle-nether-dutch.

Hah.

Also meanwhile, another change is happening in Denmark: consonants becoming softer, like

how [t] softened to [ð] in /matr/ to [mað].

This is lenition.

It's a normal change (just ask Spanish), but, weirdly, Danes do it at the end of syllables.

Consonants and unstressed vowels are weakening, but stressed vowels are multiplying.

By count, Danish will end up with more distinct vowels than maybe any other language.

Now this is a Danish that's getting different.

We're onto something.

But on the "sounds funny" scale, so far I'd rate it a "chuckle".

So far.

It's 1526.

A Swede writes that Danes sound "like they want to cough", "turn[ing] words in their

throats", "writhing and wringing".

What is this throatiness?

We won't know for another two centuries, before a Danish grammarian writes in the

Concordia res parvæ crescunt...

(Hey at least my Latin works – also, bold title.)

Well, this book describes how Danes pronounce many syllables with "a very little hiccup".

A little hiccup with a bold name: a punch, push, shock, or blast is a "stød".

This punch to the throat isn't one sound.

It sums up an entire process.

A complicated process with multiple phases and a bunch of anatomy happening in your throat.

It's not on every syllable either.

These don't have it: "tåre", "gøre".

These ones do: "sår", "dør".

It's been called creaky, cough-like and, let's not forget, a constant stream of tiny hiccups.

And it is crucial if you ever want to master that genuine Danish accent.

At the very moment this author's writing about hiccups, there's another sound change in Denmark.

This time for once though it's not Danish's fault.

Danish preserved a trilled Norse R. But now, throughout France and Germany a new R is spreading,

a dramatic change worth its own story, the so-called guttural R. Instead of a front-of-the-tongue

trill /r/ it's a back-of-the-mouth /ʁ/.

Denmark caught a bad case of this bug, whose symptoms include turning words like /rœðgrœð/

into, uh, this: [ˈʁœðˀˌɡ̊ʁœðˀ].

The result is an even throatier Danish.

We're almost there.

Almost, because they have all the right sounds... in Copenhagen.

But Scandinavia is a rich tapestry of dialects.

Sweden will keep its many variants, including a Swedified form of Gutnish.

In Norway, there's still no single spoken Norwegian.

But back in Denmark, the old dialects, some of which never even had that stød, will witness

one last change: traditional dialects will mostly vanish.

We end up with nearly all of Denmark speaking one language, a language with the simplest

grammatical endings in Scandinavia, weakened consonants, perhaps the largest number of

vowels in the world, and little hiccups and /ʁ/s.

And that is how the Danes went from speaking Norse just as well as anybody to sounding

amazingly odd.

Or oddly amazing.

Stick around and subscribe for language.

Taking Overwatch too Seriously - Duration: 7:56.

How far is too far?

How seriously are we allowed to take a game before we are called out for it?

Now, as much as that is a very subjective question relative to who might or might not

call us out, it is something that popped into my mind recently.

For the first 4 Season of Competitive Play, I was taking the game very seriously.

My desire to improve and also my desire to want to win every match would often dictate

not only my mood, but also the way I interacted with other individuals.

And I mean- That's not surprising, is it?

If something is important to us and we spend a lot of time with it, most people inevitably

turn out to be influenced by that practise in one way or another.

But is it inherently wrong for us to take Overwatch so seriously?

This is what I want to discuss today.

And before you hear about my thoughts regarding this topic- Why not leave a comment with your

own opinion?

And if I managed to somehow influence the way you view this topic, just reply to your

own comment so I can tell.

If at all possible, I'd love to get a before-and-after kind of picture surrounding today's video.

But enough stalling now- Let's get right into it.

When talking about some of our favorite past times, things change very rapidly once we

enter a competitive environment.

Practising some kind of sport with your friends in your off time is a fun activity until you

sign up for a club.

In which case- Frankly, I assume you wouldn't do that if you didn't enjoy the sport, but

you bring a more combat-ready sort of mentality to the table.

Once it stops just being about us having fun in our past time, and our performance is compared

to other people, we usually start to react to it in a different way.

Again, losing a friendly match of <insert your favorite sport here> is not a big deal

when nothing is at stake and you don't feel naturally competitive about it.

But the moment you enter an environment that strictly tries to further said competition,

most people will start taking losses to heart.

Now, there are a few reasons why a lot of gamers react very strongly to losses in video

games.

For one, much like in our real life sport example, differentiating between casual and

competitive environments can change everything.

In that sense, there really isn't a reason to get overly upset in Quick Play, because

developers and players agreed that this is the environment specifically made for casual

interaction.

Much in that same way, if we willingly enter a competitive environment, then there is no

excuse for us to not feel competitive about the practise.

If you entered a football club, underperformed and then tried to mock everyone around you

about how they're taking it way too seriously- You'd be kicked out.

It's as simple as that.

The difference is that, in real life sport, and in many video games actually, there is

a barrier to entry that stops those of us who are not dedicated to the competition.

They weed out the casuals ahead of time so it doesn't even get that far in the first

place.

If you don't put in the work to actually compete in that sport, then no club with any

level of standard is ever going to accept you.

But that barrier to entry doesn't exist in Overwatch.

In fact, the game specifically creates different tiers of play that go so low that even players

with no qualifications whatsoever can compete in the same environment as those who put in

the hours and brain capacity to actually match the level of competition desired.

Now, the reason all of this context matters to our discussion is because we need some

kind of way to measure how seriously we can take any given activity.

We need to set a bar to compare.

Sure, relative to video games as a whole versus, let's say an actual job, you might argue

that there is no reason to take the game seriously.

But if we do that, then the same thing applies for any sport that furthers competition outside

of a professional level.

It's a past time.

It's something that many decide to do for fun, and some decide to compete in, because

that's how they enjoy it.

Some people are drawn to competition more than others, and of course, we can be selective

about that.

If I felt competitive about playing football, then I could just be a competitively minded

player that seeks the competition wherever he goes.

Or, I am satisfied with having my competitive itch taken care of by playing in a club, so

I prefer to do everything else casually.

Nobody can decide for you whether or not you are allowed to or supposed to take any past

time activity serious.

The only thing we can fault you for is when you bring a competitive mindset into the wrong

environment.

Why put on your tryhard pants in a friendly match of ping pong with your buddies when

nobody else is looking to challenge you?

They're not gonna wanna play with you when all you're after is sweating your dick off

in what is supposed to be a casual past time.

In that same way- Bringing a casual attitude into an inherently competitive environment

is simply wrong.

I don't care what you think about video games personally, because when you click the

"Competitive Play" Button, then you are supposed to adhere to the competition.

And this is really where I believe a lot of the bad blood is coming from.

Again, there is no barrier to entry.

But there is also no repercussion for not adhering to the fundamentals of competitive

play.

In Overwatch, everything is relative.

There is no coach that is going to kick us out for not trying our hardest.

In fact, there is not even a bar to measure us against.

Whether or not we are even trying is only decided by us, and not by others.

And this creates tension.

We are having this discussion in the first place because of a number of reasons.

For one, the mass appeal of Overwatch.

It is not a strictly competitive game that makes it difficult for casual players to get

into it in the first place.

It is a very welcoming experience that allows players of all skill levels to enjoy it.

If casual players are tricked into believing that they too can be competitive players without

putting in the work and dedication, then we start to have a dispute that nobody can win.

Because Overwatch is so inclusive, it can make players feel like absolute gods who might

have never stood a chance in many other, inherently competitive video games.

And with the game itself never teaching us anything, not giving us a bar to measure ourselves

against and not providing any rule set surrounding the competitive environment- We have a recipe

for disaster at our hands.

Nobody stops casuals from playing competitive, and if it even goes as far as to make casual

players feel like they can be competitive players without putting in the work, then

we are just constantly arguing over how the game is supposed to be played, what whoever

is doing wrong, and whether or not somebody is taking it too seriously.

Now, does taking competitive play seriously warrant us being assholes?

No, of course it doesn't.

Quite frankly, if you can't control your temper and lash out at your teammates for

underperforming, then you are just making it that much more likely that nobody wants

to listen to you, or even worse, try to prove you wrong.

Yes, we have talked about it quite frequently in the past already.

If all you care about is winning, then being a douchebag is counter productive to your

goal of winning the match.

This isn't a matter of catering to sensitive people, and only because something is true

doesn't mean it has to be said.

That is socializing 101, you should really give it a try.

If you make your teammates hate your guts in a team based game, then you are actively

lowering your chances to win.

And that in itself is a very anti-competitive attitude.

With that said- We all have to accept what was laid out in front of us.

After more than two years, it should be obvious that Blizzard is not interested in enforcing

actual competition on ladder, and we have to roll with that.

It's a sad state of affairs, I know, and I am not saying that you are wrong for taking

comp seriously.

But one way or another, we all have to accept that casual players will be a part of ranked

play in Overwatch, and that some losses are simply inevitable

That's not to say that ELO hell exists and it's also not to say that this is the only

problem plaguing competitive play, it's just the one thing I decided to focus on for

today's video.

Reading through the comments of my last video where I talked about incentives in video games

and why they are so important, seeing people say "We just play video games for fun"

made me realize how many casual players this game attracted.

And that's cool, I'm all for inclusion where it makes sense.

But to see comments like that under a video that is actively trying to explain game mechanics

to a casual audience is rather sad.

If you find yourself playing Overwatch for extended periods of time, then trust me, that's

not just because the game is fun.

Game makers know how to exploit player behaviour in a way that we rarely even notice it.

And if you are interested in hearing more about that topic, feel free to check out that

video.

But this is me done for the day as I talk about Overwatch and whether or not some players

are taking it too seriously.

Don't forget to add to your comment to let me know if I managed to change your mind at

all.

I'm looking forward to reading through them.

But until then, thank you everybody so much for watching, don't forget to drop me a

like on your way out if you enjoyed the video, subscribe if you wanna see more, and I hope

to see you all next time.

Pumpkin Party Games for Kids - Duration: 2:16.

hey guys! Shawn here. Today I have five pumpkin party game ideas for you. I'm just a mom

on the hunt for game ideas for my kids so I share them with you here on this

channel. While you are here I would love for you to consider subscribing. I post

new content every week. Let's get into today's video. Pumpkin Rolling. Divide your

players into two teams. Give each team a pile of mini pumpkins.

They will roll from a starting line to a finish line. Which ever team rolls their

pumpkins to the completed finish line wins the game. Pass the Pumpkin. Divide

your players into two teams and pass the pumpkin by tossing it from one arm to

the next arm down your line of teammates. Whichever team passes their

pumpkin the quickest is the winner. Pumpkin Bowling. So you're going to need

oatmeal containers or some soda bottles as your bowling pins. Then

you're going to roll mini pumpkins into the bowling pins. Musical Pumpkin Pass.

This game I found on the spruce.com. I will leave their blog link in the

description box down below for you to check out later. You're going to need to

get a medium sized pumpkin and hollow it out and fill it with some yummy treats.

Players sit on the floor in a circle and pass the pumpkin around as music plays.

When the music stops, whoever is left holding the pumpkin gets to pick a yummy

treat from the inside of the pumpkin. And then you continue playing until all the

treats are gone. Our last game is pumpkin marshmallow toss. So you're going to need

two large pumpkins and you're going to need to hollow them out. Put them on a

table. Divide your players into two teams and give each team a bag of marshmallows.

Set up a starting line about two to three feet from the pumpkin and players

will toss their marshmallows into the hollowed-out pumpkin. Set a timer for two

minutes and whichever team gets the most marshmallows into their

team pumpkin wins the game. I will see you in my next video. Thanks for watching!

Don't forget to subscribe while you are here.

bye!

What Americans think about E'Dawn & HyunA's dating "scandal" - Duration: 7:03.

Hi, everyone! Welcome back to my channel. This past week I was in LA for KCon LA

and was curious about American's thoughts on the E'Dawn and HyunA dating "scandal."

For those of you that aren't familiar with what's going on,

don't worry I will catch you up :)

So recently HyunA announced that she and

labelmate and bandmate E'dawn had been dating for two years this news did not go down

well with Korean fans especially fans of E'Dawn's main group, Pentagon, and some of

them have even called for E'Dawn to be removed from the group entirely and

while Cube has not done that yet (Cube is the company that manages E'Dawn and

Hyuna and Pentagon) they have removed him from several upcoming performances

including the one at KCon LA and they've also removed HyunA from a few upcoming

performances and they've announced that Triple H, which is the group that HyunA

and E'Dawn and labelmate Hui are in would no longer be actively promoting their new

single. SO. I've seen reactions from Korean fans but I was curious about what

American fans thought about this whole thing. So, while I was in LA, I stopped

some of them to ask them for their opinions. Before we get started, I do have

to note that this is my first time interviewing people outside and so the

audio is not great at some parts. I've learned my lesson and next time I will

have a better mic setup but, for now, I have added captions during the parts

where it's difficult to hear and you can always turn on closed captioning for the

entire video in settings. Okay, let's hear some opinions!

I've been a K-pop fan since 2015. She's actually the one who got me into K-Pop

Big Bang, GD!

Ultimate group is Girls Generation, bias would have been Jessica

Wooseok. Jinho.

Twice. Jihyo! Tzuyu!

For me, BTS and my favorite is Jimin.

For me, Seventeen and DK

I think my favorite bias or, like, ultimate bias right now is HyunA

So as much as I love Tzuyu, when she's happy I'm happy

I'm not gonna be mad at her because it's all for me about supporting her.

I'd be so happy for them!

At the end of the day it's their personal life and it's none of our business.

This is their job, like, they're performers

Here, people can't ask you if you're married or dating when you apply for a job, that's illegal.

I support them for what they mean to me in terms of like inspiration

I want them to be happy regardless, no matter what

I'm totally fine with that. He's getting old anyway,

I just want him to be like Taeyang, meets the person he really loves

and marries her and has, like, a family

When they find love , it's hard for them to be in a relationship and find love, so when they do

They should be happy and the fans should be happy for them.

It's not [shakes head] I've been upset. I've been pretty sad.

It's been heartbreaking to see ten boys I've supported for so long and

everything they had to do throughout Pentagon Maker

They've all said they wanted to be ten

and now that there's not ten, it's sucks, it's sad

Everyone's been shipping them for so long anyway Their chemistry is insane!

This is what we've all wanted!

I think it's dumb, personally, because I feel that business life and personal life shouldn't be interconnected.

If you really want to support the group you should really support everything he's doing.

I think this is just how Korean audiences react when they see two of their idols dating

They want to see their lives as a single, potential bachelor/bachelorettes

I feel like, as a whole, international fans are a lot more accepting in terms of that than Korean fans.

I think just a difference in culture.

'Cuz international fans, I've noticed, don't care as much

It's very lax, like they don't really care but Korean fans are very intense

but I think it's because they have more of a connection to them because they

get to a fan signs and feel like they have relationship with the artist

I also think it's the way they market idols, too, they market them as like boyfriends or girlfriends

and I think that's part of the issue.

Yeah, you'll go to a fan signing and they'll be like "oh, we're married now"

or jokes about how your their girlfriend so

it builds that up so when it gets broken down they don't know what to do.

They snap.

you're not a fan of them because you feel like you're gonna date them,

you're a fan of them for what they put out and their music, that should come first

If dating life is all you care about, you're in it for the wrong reasons, seriously.

It's really hard because Korea has their own standards and their own moral

I think someone commented saying that Korean fans only pay attention to one group

and they put all their money into them

a majority of international fans, we stan a whole bunch of groups, we're multi-group.

I think her fans are 100% supportive,

it's the fans of male groups and male idols that are very protective of their idols

and I get that, like, I'd be protective, but I'm protective of them when it comes to

their mental health and them sleeping and eating and then seatbelts

I think people get so invested in that onstage, on-camera persona

they forget their actually people

If an idol is open about something personal, we're allowed to only go so far with it

Why do you need to put yourself in a position where you say, "No, you're not allowed to do this?"

He's not going to be here? Oh man... He's not here at all?

I think that it's safe for now, so that he doesn't get any possible, like, threats

feel like it wasn't really a good idea to pull him out of promotions

because I think that what matters more is entertaining the audience and the audience kind of want

the entire group. And that's what they're supposed to be doing so it's kind of unfair for them.

It would have been weird to have him perform here as well, because that'd just be more ammo for K-fans to

use against them, like, "Oh, you're treating them differently than you're treating us."

I was waiting for him to show up during the M-Wave booth but...

you can feel the emptiness with the members, too, they didn't look very happy.

I'm so sad about it Oh my god, I was looking forward to seeing him today

People only started complaining about his participation in the group and how it's been lacking

*after* they found out he was in a relationship.

They've been dating for two years and he's been find since debut

It should have no effect on his performance and his ability to be with the group.

That's way to much. That's a professional... it's his job so he should be there.

Ugh... their line forms are gonna be so off.

Okay, so, what do you think?

Please leave your comments below, I am really curious to read them

And if you're curious about what I did at KCon LA besides interviewing strangers on the street

Maybe, meeting Twice? Which I did!

You can check out my KCon LA vlog which will be linked in the description below.

Thanks so much for watching, I hope to see you again very soon! Bye!

Girls und Panzer - Anzio - Funiculì Funiculà (performed by Andrea Bocelli) - Duration: 2:37.

This evening, oh Nanetta, I climbed up high

Do you know where? Do you know where?

Where this ungrateful heart pains me

no longer can! no longer can!

Where fire burns, but if you run away,

It lets you be! It lets you be!

It doesn't follow after nor torment you

Just with a look, just with a look.

Let's go, let's go! To the top let's go!

Let's go, let's go! To the top let's go!

Funiculi, funicula! Funiculi, funicula!

To the top let's go!

Funiculi, funicula!

Let's go, let's go! To the top let's go!

Let's go, let's go! To the top let's go!

Funiculi, funicula! Funiculi, funicula!

To the top let's go!

Funiculi, funicula!

The car has climbed up high, see, climbed up high now,

Right to the top! Right to the top!

It went, and turned around, and came back down,

And now it's stopped! And now it's stopped!

The top is turning round, and round, and round,

Around yourself! Around yourself!

My heart is singing the same refrain:

marry me! marry me!

Let's go, let's go! To the top let's go!

Let's go, let's go! To the top let's go!

Funiculi, funicula! Funiculi, funicula!

To the top let's go!

Funiculi, funicula!

Let's go, let's go! To the top let's go!

Let's go, let's go! To the top let's go!

Funiculi, funicula! Funiculi, funicula!

To the top let's go!

Funiculi, funicula!

Why Danish sounds funny to Scandinavians - Duration: 7:33.

Danish sounds odd.

Like a throat condition.

Like Danes are holding back a cough.

Or maybe they got a potato stuck in their throats.

Apparently... at least, that's what everyone's telling me.

But why?

Why does Danish sound so funny to people?

I recently explored how Swedes, Norwegians and Danes can all communicate without having

to switch languages.

But this wasn't fair and even – some languages were more intelligible than others.

The internet eagerly pointed its finger at one language in particular: Danish did it.

I post a video and I'm told that Danish is a throat condition.

I log into social media, and I read about the potato in their throat.

I go visit a discussion board, and it's a "strangled goose".

A study tells me Swedish kids hear Danish as uglier and stranger than Danes do Swedish.

Sure, some of this is "banter" and "good-natured teasing".

But even taking it all with a grain of salty herring, I still have to ask: what makes Danish

sound so funny?

Maybe I could just add my own theory.

I'll blame it on too much Danish butter in their kringler.

But no, this is NativLang, so you already know what we're about to do: sift through

the history of Danish to uncover what specifically about its pronunciation makes it stand out.

Now, Danish is notoriously hard to learn to pronounce.

You'll hear me try, but somebody please back me up.

("Rødgrød med fløde".)

Whew, ok!

Travel back in time, once upon a 1300 years ago.

Denmark was speaking an Indo-European Germanic language with a unique Northern flavor,

which we call Old Norse.

To them it's the "dǫnsk tunga", the Danetongue.

Throughout Scandinavia, this is a time of unity.

Everywhere you go, Norse sounds like Norse.

But soon these Danetonguers grow restless and get upgraded to Viking status.

In the Viking Age, something will change.

It starts in Denmark.

A Dane, probably many Danes but definitely this one, decides, "I'm going to say my vowels

differently", which leads East Norse to split away from West Norse.

It's the start of a trend, the perfect setup for the rest of our story: Hey, everybody,

there was another sound change in Denmark!

And at this point, over a thousand years ago, we can officially call it "Danmǫrk", the

Dane march.

See, this runestone says so.

The Vikings settle down.

The Middle Ages settle in.

At this point, Scandinavia is a continuum of dialects that smoothly trace their origins

to East and West Norse.

Oh, and the too often forgotten Old Gutnish on its own island, where vowels sometimes

didn't agree with either Norse, West or East.

Officially though, this is an era of Latin.

Not too much written Norse.

Until Denmark decides to go medieval and ink the Scanian Law.

Thanks to scribal copying this law was available in multiple versions, including this awesome

one in Runes.

Its words show off another Danish change: unstressed vowels are getting weaker.

This is how your nicely distinguished endings in Swedish and Norwegian will all end up in

Danish with /ə/, /ə/, /ə/!

Meanwhile, the Hanseatic League is uniting to dominate the continent's northern coast,

which brings a war and many new words from Middle Low German.

Or Middle-nether-dutch.

Hah.

Also meanwhile, another change is happening in Denmark: consonants becoming softer, like

how [t] softened to [ð] in /matr/ to [mað].

This is lenition.

It's a normal change (just ask Spanish), but, weirdly, Danes do it at the end of syllables.

Consonants and unstressed vowels are weakening, but stressed vowels are multiplying.

By count, Danish will end up with more distinct vowels than maybe any other language.

Now this is a Danish that's getting different.

We're onto something.

But on the "sounds funny" scale, so far I'd rate it a "chuckle".

So far.

It's 1526.

A Swede writes that Danes sound "like they want to cough", "turn[ing] words in their

throats", "writhing and wringing".

What is this throatiness?

We won't know for another two centuries, before a Danish grammarian writes in the

Concordia res parvæ crescunt...

(Hey at least my Latin works – also, bold title.)

Well, this book describes how Danes pronounce many syllables with "a very little hiccup".

A little hiccup with a bold name: a punch, push, shock, or blast is a "stød".

This punch to the throat isn't one sound.

It sums up an entire process.

A complicated process with multiple phases and a bunch of anatomy happening in your throat.

It's not on every syllable either.

These don't have it: "tåre", "gøre".

These ones do: "sår", "dør".

It's been called creaky, cough-like and, let's not forget, a constant stream of tiny hiccups.

And it is crucial if you ever want to master that genuine Danish accent.

At the very moment this author's writing about hiccups, there's another sound change in Denmark.

This time for once though it's not Danish's fault.

Danish preserved a trilled Norse R. But now, throughout France and Germany a new R is spreading,

a dramatic change worth its own story, the so-called guttural R. Instead of a front-of-the-tongue

trill /r/ it's a back-of-the-mouth /ʁ/.

Denmark caught a bad case of this bug, whose symptoms include turning words like /rœðgrœð/

into, uh, this: [ˈʁœðˀˌɡ̊ʁœðˀ].

The result is an even throatier Danish.

We're almost there.

Almost, because they have all the right sounds... in Copenhagen.

But Scandinavia is a rich tapestry of dialects.

Sweden will keep its many variants, including a Swedified form of Gutnish.

In Norway, there's still no single spoken Norwegian.

But back in Denmark, the old dialects, some of which never even had that stød, will witness

one last change: traditional dialects will mostly vanish.

We end up with nearly all of Denmark speaking one language, a language with the simplest

grammatical endings in Scandinavia, weakened consonants, perhaps the largest number of

vowels in the world, and little hiccups and /ʁ/s.

And that is how the Danes went from speaking Norse just as well as anybody to sounding

amazingly odd.

Or oddly amazing.

Stick around and subscribe for language.

Taking Overwatch too Seriously - Duration: 7:56.

How far is too far?

How seriously are we allowed to take a game before we are called out for it?

Now, as much as that is a very subjective question relative to who might or might not

call us out, it is something that popped into my mind recently.

For the first 4 Season of Competitive Play, I was taking the game very seriously.

My desire to improve and also my desire to want to win every match would often dictate

not only my mood, but also the way I interacted with other individuals.

And I mean- That's not surprising, is it?

If something is important to us and we spend a lot of time with it, most people inevitably

turn out to be influenced by that practise in one way or another.

But is it inherently wrong for us to take Overwatch so seriously?

This is what I want to discuss today.

And before you hear about my thoughts regarding this topic- Why not leave a comment with your

own opinion?

And if I managed to somehow influence the way you view this topic, just reply to your

own comment so I can tell.

If at all possible, I'd love to get a before-and-after kind of picture surrounding today's video.

But enough stalling now- Let's get right into it.

When talking about some of our favorite past times, things change very rapidly once we

enter a competitive environment.

Practising some kind of sport with your friends in your off time is a fun activity until you

sign up for a club.

In which case- Frankly, I assume you wouldn't do that if you didn't enjoy the sport, but

you bring a more combat-ready sort of mentality to the table.

Once it stops just being about us having fun in our past time, and our performance is compared

to other people, we usually start to react to it in a different way.

Again, losing a friendly match of <insert your favorite sport here> is not a big deal

when nothing is at stake and you don't feel naturally competitive about it.

But the moment you enter an environment that strictly tries to further said competition,

most people will start taking losses to heart.

Now, there are a few reasons why a lot of gamers react very strongly to losses in video

games.

For one, much like in our real life sport example, differentiating between casual and

competitive environments can change everything.

In that sense, there really isn't a reason to get overly upset in Quick Play, because

developers and players agreed that this is the environment specifically made for casual

interaction.

Much in that same way, if we willingly enter a competitive environment, then there is no

excuse for us to not feel competitive about the practise.

If you entered a football club, underperformed and then tried to mock everyone around you

about how they're taking it way too seriously- You'd be kicked out.

It's as simple as that.

The difference is that, in real life sport, and in many video games actually, there is

a barrier to entry that stops those of us who are not dedicated to the competition.

They weed out the casuals ahead of time so it doesn't even get that far in the first

place.

If you don't put in the work to actually compete in that sport, then no club with any

level of standard is ever going to accept you.

But that barrier to entry doesn't exist in Overwatch.

In fact, the game specifically creates different tiers of play that go so low that even players

with no qualifications whatsoever can compete in the same environment as those who put in

the hours and brain capacity to actually match the level of competition desired.

Now, the reason all of this context matters to our discussion is because we need some

kind of way to measure how seriously we can take any given activity.

We need to set a bar to compare.

Sure, relative to video games as a whole versus, let's say an actual job, you might argue

that there is no reason to take the game seriously.

But if we do that, then the same thing applies for any sport that furthers competition outside

of a professional level.

It's a past time.

It's something that many decide to do for fun, and some decide to compete in, because

that's how they enjoy it.

Some people are drawn to competition more than others, and of course, we can be selective

about that.

If I felt competitive about playing football, then I could just be a competitively minded

player that seeks the competition wherever he goes.

Or, I am satisfied with having my competitive itch taken care of by playing in a club, so

I prefer to do everything else casually.

Nobody can decide for you whether or not you are allowed to or supposed to take any past

time activity serious.

The only thing we can fault you for is when you bring a competitive mindset into the wrong

environment.

Why put on your tryhard pants in a friendly match of ping pong with your buddies when

nobody else is looking to challenge you?

They're not gonna wanna play with you when all you're after is sweating your dick off

in what is supposed to be a casual past time.

In that same way- Bringing a casual attitude into an inherently competitive environment

is simply wrong.

I don't care what you think about video games personally, because when you click the

"Competitive Play" Button, then you are supposed to adhere to the competition.

And this is really where I believe a lot of the bad blood is coming from.

Again, there is no barrier to entry.

But there is also no repercussion for not adhering to the fundamentals of competitive

play.

In Overwatch, everything is relative.

There is no coach that is going to kick us out for not trying our hardest.

In fact, there is not even a bar to measure us against.

Whether or not we are even trying is only decided by us, and not by others.

And this creates tension.

We are having this discussion in the first place because of a number of reasons.

For one, the mass appeal of Overwatch.

It is not a strictly competitive game that makes it difficult for casual players to get

into it in the first place.

It is a very welcoming experience that allows players of all skill levels to enjoy it.

If casual players are tricked into believing that they too can be competitive players without

putting in the work and dedication, then we start to have a dispute that nobody can win.

Because Overwatch is so inclusive, it can make players feel like absolute gods who might

have never stood a chance in many other, inherently competitive video games.

And with the game itself never teaching us anything, not giving us a bar to measure ourselves

against and not providing any rule set surrounding the competitive environment- We have a recipe

for disaster at our hands.

Nobody stops casuals from playing competitive, and if it even goes as far as to make casual

players feel like they can be competitive players without putting in the work, then

we are just constantly arguing over how the game is supposed to be played, what whoever

is doing wrong, and whether or not somebody is taking it too seriously.

Now, does taking competitive play seriously warrant us being assholes?

No, of course it doesn't.

Quite frankly, if you can't control your temper and lash out at your teammates for

underperforming, then you are just making it that much more likely that nobody wants

to listen to you, or even worse, try to prove you wrong.

Yes, we have talked about it quite frequently in the past already.

If all you care about is winning, then being a douchebag is counter productive to your

goal of winning the match.

This isn't a matter of catering to sensitive people, and only because something is true

doesn't mean it has to be said.

That is socializing 101, you should really give it a try.

If you make your teammates hate your guts in a team based game, then you are actively

lowering your chances to win.

And that in itself is a very anti-competitive attitude.

With that said- We all have to accept what was laid out in front of us.

After more than two years, it should be obvious that Blizzard is not interested in enforcing

actual competition on ladder, and we have to roll with that.

It's a sad state of affairs, I know, and I am not saying that you are wrong for taking

comp seriously.

But one way or another, we all have to accept that casual players will be a part of ranked

play in Overwatch, and that some losses are simply inevitable

That's not to say that ELO hell exists and it's also not to say that this is the only

problem plaguing competitive play, it's just the one thing I decided to focus on for

today's video.

Reading through the comments of my last video where I talked about incentives in video games

and why they are so important, seeing people say "We just play video games for fun"

made me realize how many casual players this game attracted.

And that's cool, I'm all for inclusion where it makes sense.

But to see comments like that under a video that is actively trying to explain game mechanics

to a casual audience is rather sad.

If you find yourself playing Overwatch for extended periods of time, then trust me, that's

not just because the game is fun.

Game makers know how to exploit player behaviour in a way that we rarely even notice it.

And if you are interested in hearing more about that topic, feel free to check out that

video.

But this is me done for the day as I talk about Overwatch and whether or not some players

are taking it too seriously.

Don't forget to add to your comment to let me know if I managed to change your mind at

all.

I'm looking forward to reading through them.

But until then, thank you everybody so much for watching, don't forget to drop me a

like on your way out if you enjoyed the video, subscribe if you wanna see more, and I hope

to see you all next time.

Pumpkin Party Games for Kids - Duration: 2:16.

hey guys! Shawn here. Today I have five pumpkin party game ideas for you. I'm just a mom

on the hunt for game ideas for my kids so I share them with you here on this

channel. While you are here I would love for you to consider subscribing. I post

new content every week. Let's get into today's video. Pumpkin Rolling. Divide your

players into two teams. Give each team a pile of mini pumpkins.

They will roll from a starting line to a finish line. Which ever team rolls their

pumpkins to the completed finish line wins the game. Pass the Pumpkin. Divide

your players into two teams and pass the pumpkin by tossing it from one arm to

the next arm down your line of teammates. Whichever team passes their

pumpkin the quickest is the winner. Pumpkin Bowling. So you're going to need

oatmeal containers or some soda bottles as your bowling pins. Then

you're going to roll mini pumpkins into the bowling pins. Musical Pumpkin Pass.

This game I found on the spruce.com. I will leave their blog link in the

description box down below for you to check out later. You're going to need to

get a medium sized pumpkin and hollow it out and fill it with some yummy treats.

Players sit on the floor in a circle and pass the pumpkin around as music plays.

When the music stops, whoever is left holding the pumpkin gets to pick a yummy

treat from the inside of the pumpkin. And then you continue playing until all the

treats are gone. Our last game is pumpkin marshmallow toss. So you're going to need

two large pumpkins and you're going to need to hollow them out. Put them on a

table. Divide your players into two teams and give each team a bag of marshmallows.

Set up a starting line about two to three feet from the pumpkin and players

will toss their marshmallows into the hollowed-out pumpkin. Set a timer for two

minutes and whichever team gets the most marshmallows into their

team pumpkin wins the game. I will see you in my next video. Thanks for watching!

Don't forget to subscribe while you are here.

bye!

7 TRIATHLON TRAINING benefits swimming offers that biking and running don't - Duration: 7:31.

- (grunting) Morning, Trainiacs.

It's Monday, so that means

just a groovy little one hour recovery swim,

lots of fins, just low 75, 80% intensity.

Love recovery swims.

So I've touched on a lotta these things

over the past couple a months since swimming a lot

with Tower 26 four times a week,

and you know what, I have a newfound respect

for the overall effect on triathlon speed

that swimming has that I don't think cycling or running has.

Let's talk about that today, alright?

Since when is it gloomy here, pfft?

Haven't seen clouds in ages.

(energetic electronic music)

Alright, so swimming has proven itself

to be extremely beneficial

for overall triathlon performance.

As Matt Dixon, head coach of Purple Patch Fitness

and a ton of very successful pro says,

he has never seen a triathlete who has taken a step back

from bike and run to focus more on the swim

have impaired performance overall.

Basically every single time he has told an athlete

to focus more on the swim and less on the bike and the run,

even temporarily, they have improved overall,

and there's a number of reasons why.

So now for starters, swimming is excellent,

excellent, excellent, excellent

for what I did this morning for recovery.

In swimming, you can slap yourself on a pair of fins,

nice, longer fins that are somewhere around four

to six inches longer than your toes,

and just because of the cadence of your kick,

what that recovery swim ends up doing

with a recovery swim where you're using fins is

it ends up kinda making your body more fluid.

And after, let's say, this past weekend

where I absolutely smashed myself

and did half of my weekly volume of training

in just two days, you know that, you know that,

like that feeling after a couple hard days

where you're just like (groaning)?

Those fins just help smooth out your body,

make it more fluid overall.

Next, I recently talked about how when we are triathletes

and we are hunched over our bars

and we are trying to run forward

and we are typically desk workers hunched over a desk.

We are driving.

We are looking at TV.

We are eating.

Everything's in front of us.

Our chest becomes very overdeveloped.

Now, you can swim with a very overdeveloped chest

and an asleep back, but ideally when you're swimming,

you wanna get a real nice feeling on the water

and pull back with your lats.

Now, if you can't do that,

it gives you an indication that you are imbalanced

and the swimming is like a trigger

and a tool to let you know that you have an imbalanced body,

that you're overdeveloped on the front,

maybe a little bit tight here,

maybe a little bit tight there.

So it's a cue to work on your lats,

to work on loosening up your posture,

which is going to make you better overall,

and then, as you work on activating those lats,

you will become a better runner

because you've got better posture.

Core training, core training is almost impossible

to do on the bike kinda by nature.

We are almost deactivating our core on the bike.

On the run, you can try to keep a nice, tight core,

but it's fairly hard because you're putting so much effort

into staying upright with your legs and moving your arms

and getting those elbows nice and far back,

but with the swim, it's fairly easy

to focus on a nice, tight core

because it's a lot slower, a lot more fluid.

And in addition to that, one of the best drills

that you can do, circa Gerry Rodrigues at Tower 26,

is you can slap on some fins and you can do some

on your back butterfly kick, which is essentially

a whole bunch a little mini crunches

building that core in a way

that you aren't necessarily able to do very well

on the bike or the run.

Now let's talk about pain.

In a scale of really, really easy recovery workout

to really, really hard max effort,

you want maybe 10 to 20% of your efforts throughout the week

being over here.

Doing that, it helps build the top end

of your anaerobic capacity

and it really pushes up your top end of speed.

Now, you can't get quite up there very often in the run

because it's risky.

It's such high impact that you are likely to get injured.

You can't just go and start banging out track workouts

three, four times a week, maybe just once.

However, in the swim, because it's such low impact,

you can go redline it six, seven, 12 times a week

like high performance swimmers do,

and because it's low impact,

it's not going to take that pounding on your body

and you're going to be able to build your overall base

of fitness at that top end of speed

without the risk that you would have had you been running.

And then related to that, there's just less risk of injury.

When you get injured running,

it's almost always a potential career ender

or when you are cycling, there's a really good chance

of getting smacked by a car.

You're not gonna get smacked by a car in a pool,

and your injuries when your swimming,

they tend to be smaller, maybe a matter of a few weeks

and can almost be fixed by just a little bit of massage

and some small, little stretchy band works.

Their injuries are so much less devastating from swimming.

Just get yourself a swim buoy.

I like the New Wave Swim Buoy.

You can get 10% off any New Wave Swim Buoy

on all Amazons all around the world

with the coupon code trytaren.

Just saying.

And finally, this is the deep stuff.

Well, I'll bring it in for this.

I find that open water swimming

with the water right around you

and you're out on a nice, calm day on the water

where you're safe and you don't have boats buzzin' by you

is probably about the closest to nature you will ever be.

And it's almost meditative to be out there

in open water when you can just do an open water swim

after getting comfortable out there.

Probably one of the favorite things that I ever do

training for a triathlon.

So there you go, Triathletes.

Before you write off swimming

because it's just a little part of the race

or you feel like you're never gonna be a good swimmer

and you're gonna concentrate on being a good cyclist

and a runner, think twice.

There's a lot of benefits to swimming

that transfer over to cycling and running

and not vice versa.

Ron Stallworth and John David Washington on Spike Lee's 'BlacKkKlansman' | NowThis - Duration: 8:22.

He's a true American hero.

You know, and how this piece of history,

sort of, slipped through the cracks,

I mean, I went to a historically Black college,

learned a lot about my culture. I can't

believe I've never heard about this.

I don't feel like a celebrity.

I don't feel, I was a hero

or am a hero.

I don't feel what I did was heroic.

I appreciate the honor.

It is very appreciated but

I don't feel that way.

I had a job to do

and I did my job. I came to work every day,

I scanned the newspapers,

I looked for stuff that might be of

interest on this particular day

something jumped out at me

and I responded to it.

There was nothing heroic about it.

It was just a job.

You

kept your community safe though, from these people, these animals, right.

But that too was my job,

stop picking on me.

Ok, just had to say that, but you're right.

All this information is on the card that you see

in the film.

They duplicated it exactly.

I didn't wanna try to emulate

or imitate. I wanted to inhabit his spirit

and it was something about the exchange of the card,

when he showed that membership card,

remember, at the table

read. That sorta was like the

portal to his soul

and he let me have it for a couple

months and I really appreciated that.

Literally trying to not laugh

at the fact that they were being made

fools of in such a fairly

easy way and not recognizing

the fact that they were dealing

with two different people.

The real Chuck,

in the movie is Flip Zimmerman

but thereal Chuck, his voice is

totally distinctively different than mine.

Anybody should have recognized they were talking

to two different people

and just that alone was,

was a laugh.

But talking on

the phone pretending to be a white supremacist

with my sergeant sitting there listening

he's fallin' out of his chair laughing,

and gagging 'cause

he couldn't catch his breath,

turning red in the face,

running out of the office to compose himself.

I really hate those black rats

and anyone else really that doesn't have pure

white aryan blood running through their veins.

I'm happy to be talking to true white American.

God bless white America.

This whole thing was like a 'Saturday Night Live' skit

but it had very serious overtones

to it because these guys believed

in the ideology of white

supremacy.

Groups like the Klan are always dangerous.

They will preach non-violence

but their actions betray them.

And when I was talking on the phone to

these knuckleheads in my investigation

they were talking about

committing violent acts.

And yet they were telling each other

the Klan is not violent we are the new Klan.

We don't believe in violence.

They even invoked Martin Luther King's Day

and we like Martin Luther

King we believe in

non-violent protest.

But if we're confronted by

people that look like the two of us

then they will resort to violence.

People are basically good

but you will always have that small

percentage that fall into the category

of these Klansmen

and other white supremacists.

So what I took away from this is that you

have to be willing to confront racism

head on.

You have to be willing to tackle the

issue of white

supremacy,

white dominance

in America. And in other parts

of the country,

you have to be willing to tackle that

and take a stand

and do what you can to stamp it out.

You're not gonna eliminate it

but you can't control it.

You can't keep it in the shadows,

you can't keep it underground

and not allow it to come seep forth

like it has happened since a

certain gentleman took control of the White House.

We have to be willing to

unite

and address this problem wherever it,

wherever it rears its ugly head.

Every time we move forward we seem to have

fall into a period where we take two

steps back.

Right now, we're in that two-steps-back period.

During the eight years of Obama,

there were not marches openly

expressed like we saw in Charlottesville going

on around the country

with the alt-right. These guys were there,

but they were

probably at surface level beneath the surface

just a tad bit

but they were openly out

and marching and creating havoc like

we saw in Charlottesville during the 8 years

of Obama.

We had a moral conscience in the White House who

was expressing his contempt

as the leader of this nation.

He was expressing his contempt for actions

like that.

There were a lot of racist incidents that went on

during the Obama years

but they were in open display to

the extent that we saw in Charlotte.

In comes the idiot

imbecile that occupies the White House now

and he

gives his wink and a nod

and his statement that Charlottesville about

equivalency on both sides.

You had a group on one side that was bad

and you had a group on the other side that was also

very violent.

There was no equivalency.

You cannot equate a white

supremacist to peaceful marchers,

no matter whether you agree

with the marchers

or not

or agree with the peaceful protest

or not. You cannot equate them

with these guys walking around

with Tiki torches which was nothing

more than a symbolic

cross burning

and yelling Jews will not replace us.

So when you have that

lack of a moral conscience

things like this are going to erupt to the surface

much greater than they ever have been.

And that's what we have going on right now.

We're in that cycle

and hopefully that cycle will end

when that idiot is gone.

And I won't say how I want him gone,

just I want him gone.

But hopefully it will end.

But right now we have to endure.

And that's why I say,

we as a community of people,

concerned people,

need to unite and be willing to stand

up to this and fight against it as

opposed to sitting idly by

and letting it go on beside us because we are ashamed

or afraid to talk about race.

We need to stop being ashamed

and afraid.

Language that's used in this film.

I mean it's,

it's harsh.

But it's meaningful.

It's not for shock value

or to try to

manipulate the film to be more entertaining.

No, this is, this is the language that was

used then, in real life,

and this is how it's used right now,

in today's world.

So at least people can start seeing,

like man...I was watching it in

France I felt embarrassed of

my country.

You know, and this is a period piece.

You know, I wasn't even alive then

and I'm like,

I'm embarrassed for my country.

So hopefully to that point,

I bring that up to say hopefully

we can hear how we sound

and how we feel.

And we can,

sort of, at least, all we need, all we need is one

person off of this film,

that sees this film that'll be inspired to change

that, you know, and that's what I'm...

I'm in the service business.

You know, I was there to service the film

and to hopefully inspire others the way this real American

hero inspired me to even take

this role on. Period.

His name.In a video posted to United's Twitter account, Fred appears to pronounce his name with a "ge" on the end

The 25-year-old then says his full name – Frederico Rodrigues De Paula Santos.More than 190,000 fans have seen the clip since it was posted yesterday

"Sounds like fridge," one commented.Another wrote: "I'll just call him Fred lads, thanks

".A third added: "Wow, never knew how to pronounce Fred." But a fourth was less than impressed, saying: "Everyone else getting wins whilst we're getting English lessons

Aspergers and Energy: Downtime - On the Beach - Duration: 3:20.

So today is my day off. I'm sitting on the beach

It's a Saturday afternoon here in Melbourne in the middle of winter

why am I here?

I think one of the reasons that I attempt to find places of solitude like

this is because it's really important for me to disconnect from what feels

like a barrage of requests from the world whether that be messages or people

trying to talk to me or just I feel like there's always someone trying to

get my attention. So a place like this allows me to actually turn off. One of my mental

health practices is to attempt to take every Friday Saturday and Sunday off my regular work.

So that means limiting screen time not checking emails, not checking messages

things like that and I find that I have to be really

really disciplined with that otherwise I actually don't get a break.

I get so wound up in work mode and so hyper focused on whatever I'm doing that

it actually takes a couple of days to unwind and if I don't take those couple

of days and if I'm not really really disciplined about cutting out work

completely for those days then I find that I get to Monday morning and I

haven't been able to turn off and I haven't been able to recharge and

that can lead to burning out very very quickly

if I don't have that recharge time.

So one of my favorite Aspergers analogies

is like of a high-performance sports car and the reason I like that analogy is

because I can go really fast and I might be high maintenance sometimes but

I'm built for a purpose and if I'm going 300 km/h down the freeway

speed bumps are a problem. It's really hard to come to a complete stop when I'm

going really really fast. So I need to schedule those pit stops where I come to

a complete stop and actually recharge otherwise I will eventually break down

and that's not good for anyone. So today I'm on the beach

what else do I want to say? I think that's about it. I guess I just want to emphasized the

importance of actually taking down time and when it works it's amazing so when I

take three days off then on Monday morning I actually feel like I'm recharged and I can

actually get my headspace back into work. So I might leave it there I guess I'm

not really sure what I'm trying to say but something like that. That'll have to do... Bye...

Alegría Reunion | Masha Silaeva: Hula Hoop Manipulation | Meet Past Artists | Ep.4 - Duration: 1:20.

My name is Masha Silaeva

and I used to be working on Alegría

since 2000 to 2013 doing manipulation act,

it's like hula hoops with everybody.

Yes, Alegría is coming back.

I think when I heard about it,

I was crying actually.

It was touching my heart and

yes… and I'm really happy and I think Alegría will go on forever.

I guess the funniest moment

was when I actually doing the performance

and I dropped a hula hoop and the hoop went right into the audience

and I was like,

lost a little bit and I had no extra hoop,

it was the funniest moment when I was just frozen standing

and waiting what to do, yeah, but then I continued.

Movies That Will Blow Everyone Away In 2020 - Duration: 7:16.

The year 2020 might feel far away right now, but that hasn't stopped Hollywood's major

studios from lining up a slew of projects to compete for your movie budget, even a couple

years out.

Some of the upcoming releases on the calendar are highly anticipated sequels, but that isn't

all we're expecting to see; the studios have also set up new adaptations of existing properties

and all manner of would-be blockbusters, making for what should be an epic year at the movies.

Start marking your calendar now, we've rounded up an in-depth look at the biggest releases

coming along in 2020.

Bad Boys For Life

Seventeen years after the release of Bad Boys 2, audiences will finally get another entry

in the buddy cop franchise.

The film brings back Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and

Marcus Burnett, and the two couldn't be more excited about working together again.

"I love that dude.

"He's a great guy."

"That's one of the best times I've had making movies."

"I love Will."

"Damn come on Martin!"

"And Will loves me so we gonna do it."

While it's been a bumpy road to get the film to the green light, it's full speed ahead

for the duo now, and a release date has been set for January 17th.

G.I.

Joe: Ever Vigilant

Seven years after G.I.

Joe: Retaliation, everyone's favorite action figure-based franchise is set to return.

It's unclear which, if any, of the original movies' stars will return, as it's rumored

to be a reboot.

But considering the original cast included everyone from Channing Tatum to Bruce Willis

to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, it's hard to imagine we wouldn't see at least some of those

A-listers on the call sheet when movie three gets ready for a March 27th debut.

Fast & Furious 9

By the time Fast and Furious 9 comes along, fans of the speedy franchise will have gotten

their first spin-off, featuring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham.

Although we don't know much about where the saga's headed next, the pressure to keep upping

the stakes should mean it'll find a way to be even more epic than previous installments.

With Charlize Theron's Cipher still alive and on the loose at the end of Fate of the

Furious, there are lots of opportunities for mayhem.

You can probably count on most of your favorite cast members returning, and the franchise's

ever-increasing profile means there's always the chance they'll land even more big names

to join the family.

Audiences will definitely want to drive out to the theater on April 10th.

Godzilla vs. Kong

Film fans will finally get the answer to the age-old question of which movie monster reigns

supreme when Godzilla and King Kong face off on the big screen.

Director Adam Wingard has already assured fans that his take on the two monsters will

crown a definitive winner, unlike the 1962 film that first put the two characters against

each other.

Although we still don't know which actors will be part of the fun, there are sure to

be some A-listers on board when this epic behemoth battle barrels into the summer box

office on May 22nd.

The Six Billion Dollar Man

Mark Wahlberg will help breathe cinematic life into the '70s small screen series The

Six Million Dollar Man by giving the character a raise to the Six BILLION Dollar Man.

Wahlberg will play Steve Austin, a former astronaut who uses cutting-edge technology

to become half-machine in order to survive after an accident, and uses his newfound superhuman

strength to work as a secret agent working for the Office of Scientific Intelligence.

With its mix of robotics, espionage, and brute physical force, The Six Billion Dollar Man

should be an event when it comes along on June 5th.

Red Notice

Dwayne Johnson is set to re-team with director Rawson Marshall Thurber, after working together

on Central Intelligence and Skyscraper, for 2020's action-comedy film Red Notice.

The movie will feature Johnson as an Interpol agent chasing after the most wanted art thief

in the world.

We'll see if The Rock maintains his magic streak at the movies when Red Notice hits

theaters on June 12th.

Indiana Jones 5

This installment of the Indiana Jones films won't feature any lead-lined refrigerators

or ill-explained aliens, so if you weren't a fan of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the

franchise's newest outing will get things back on track for you.

Everyone involved seems to think the movie will be a course correction, with Harrison

Ford saying he only wanted to return if the script was great, and Steven Spielberg saying

he thinks the movie is, quote "straight down the pike for the fans."

"It's great fun to play this character.

It's great fun to work with Steven.

I'm looking forward to it."

There's a lot of potential for the future of the franchise, and the next film seems

like it could bring back the adventure of the original trilogy when it arrives on July

10th.

Bios

Tom Hanks will be the last man on Earth in this sci-fi outing.

Specific plot details for Bios are being kept tightly under wraps, but we do know that Hanks'

character, Finch, is an ailing inventor and the last man left on this planet, who builds

a robot to protect his beloved dog after his death.

Although we don't have many concrete details yet, Hanks has shown us many, many times that

he's the right guy to lead up any kind of survival story, even completely solo, so count

on this one to be a must-watch on October 2nd.

Fantastic Beasts 3

While we're still waiting to see what happens in the second Fantastic Beasts and Where to

Find Them movie, Warner Bros. is already gearing up for the third film in the franchise.

Very little is known about the film at this point, but the series definitely got off to

an encouraging start, with the first film earning solid reviews and healthy box office

returns.

With the second movie bringing in even more Harry Potter connections and the third likely

to build on that further, November 20th is a date you'll want to pencil in on your calendar

for more movie magic to come.

Avatar 2

We're getting four Avatar sequels over the next decade, so a lot rides on the first one

doing well when it hits theaters in 2020.

James Cameron's massive undertaking reportedly has a total budget of over $1 billion, allowing

the director to fully embrace new technology and make sure that the sequels are as visually

stunning as the first chapter.

The movies are said to be a family saga about Jake, Neytiri, and their children, with many

of the film's original cast returning as well.

Newcomers to the franchise include Cliff Curtis and Oona Chaplin as additions to the Pandora

collective, which will return to theaters December 18th.

Sherlock Holmes 3

Robert Downey Jr. is set to return for a third outing as the world's most famous detective

in a film that will also feature the return of his co-star Jude Law as John Watson.

It's unclear if Guy Ritchie, who directed the first two films, will return, but since

it's been nine years since Downey last played the character in A Game of Shadows, it should

be interesting to see how his take on Sherlock Holmes has aged when this new leg of the adventure

hits theaters December 25th.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Last but certainly not least, Marvel is expected to bring back their intergalactic team of

misfits with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

It's unclear who will return following the events of Avengers: Infinity War, but we do

know it's supposed to offer an "epic conclusion" to the saga of the Star-Lord's ragtag squadron

while helping to potentially launch the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Top 10 Best Teen Titans Go! Episodes - Duration: 5:43.

Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.

We basically all know that teen titans go doesnÕt quite live up to the standards that

the original teen titans animated show set.

However, there are a few episodes that are actually pretty decent, and will help you

get your teen titans fix in a pinch.

So just sit back and let yourself enjoy it a bit, itÕs really not so bad on a boring

weekend in.

So letÕs take a look at the top 10 BEST TTG EPISODES.

In the number 10 spot WE have LETS GET SERIOUS, Season 2, episode 32.

This one can probably be considered the best of the worst.

Or maybe the worst of the best.

But in actuality, itÕs not so bad.

The episode centers around Robin wanting his team to shape up, after seeing how easily

Young Justice has taken down the HIVE.

Poor and slightly creepy animation aside, It was a bit of a shot at the people saying

the show was too silly, so thereÕs that satirical angle at least.

Not the worst thing to come from this show.

Coming in at number 9, is LEGS, season 1, episode 37.

Legs tells the story of robin stealing away RavenÕs cloak, leaving her to reveal her

usually hidden figure and unveiling quite the pair of gams, becoming lady legasus.

Then Cyborg accidently gets wrapped up in the cloak and goes totally dark.

This episode was a bit more adult, if we can say that, so itÕs got a bit more appeal for

us older people who are bored with our lives and have nothing better to watch on TV.

Next, at number 8, is LEGENDARY SANDWICH, season 1 episode.

The very start of teen titans go was actually not bad, it was pretty entertaining.

It kinda went all downhill from there when we realized we had 200 more episodes of this.

In this episode, Raven sends the rest of the team on a wild goose chase to make a sandwich,

all with the intention of losing them for a few so she can watch her favorite tv show.

Something we will not be doing to watch teen titans go, unless we really donÕt like the

people who are around.

But effective nonetheless.

In the number 7 spot, we got COOL SCHOOL, season 2, episode 40.

Here Raven befriends a recently released from prison Rose Wilson, and the two begin hanging

out.

The rest of the team are jealous and decide that they need to take lessons in cool school

to win back their friend.

The material here is less annoying than usual so thatÕs why it makes the list.

Plus, RoseÕs ÒMore like titans go awayÓ kinda embodies how we feel about the show,

so thatÕs a win in my books!

Coming in at number 6 we got GIRLS NIGHT OUT, season 1, episode 13.

This one sneaks on the list because I always do love a good girls night out, so it was

pretty entertaining to watch.

When the boys wonÕt let Star and Raven join them for a hang out, the girls break Jinx

out of prison just casually and have their own night.

And I gotta say, Raven visiting prison and making fun of prisoners when sheÕs bored

is totally something I would do.

Next up, at number 5 is TTG VS PPG, season 3, episode 40.

This was a crossover with another team of beloved heroes, the powerpuff girls!

Whose show is equally as cutesy but double the smarts.

So bringing them to Jump City helped out a bit here.

The girls follow mojo jojo as he attempts to take over jump city, and along the way

cross paths with the teen titans.

And things get a little competitive.

Funf act is the voice of raven, tara Strong, has also been the voice of Bubbles.

Up next at number 4, we have the day the night stopped beginning to shine and became dark

even though it was day, season 4 episodes 27-30.

Wow, I am not saying that title again, feel like I may have lost a few brain cells.

Despite horrendous title, this miniseries actually got pretty high reviews compared

to other episodes, even ones on this list.

Cyborg gets trapped in an alternate dimension and must face a dragon to free himself.

But the best part?

Fall out boy makes an appearance!

Even in cartoon form itÕs hard not to break out into song.

In the number 3 spot, is COLORS OF RAVEN.

Season 1 episode 25.

Raven in this episode is split into several different personalities because of a strange

prism.

The rest of the team finds these new Ravens are knocking things out of whack, and they

kinda just want their old friend back.

It was nice to see the array of personas for tara strong to voice, and even some die hard

teen titans animated fans can admit to cracking a smile at this high-energy but even-tempo

episode.

Coming in at number 2, is VIDEO GAME REFERENCES, season 2 episode 39.

In this episode, the teen titans do some training in a virtual reality room with some very familiar

graphics, such as the legend of Zelda, super Mario, and frogger.

This is one episode that actually gets fairly good reception among audiences, mainly because

even if you hate teen titans go, itÕs hard not to get lost in the nostalgia of the video

game references.

And finally, in the number 1 spot, WE HAVE 40% 40% 20%, season 3 episode 10.

This one has actually been toted as perhaps the best of the teen titans go episodes, and

is the spark that ignited the night begins to shine miniseries.

Because I already said IÕm not saying that whole title again.

Catchy music, fun animation, and an overall reminiscent feel of what the show used to

be back in the animated series days.

All this combined makes for not a very bad episode at all.

If you have to watch one, it should definitely be this.

Just donÕt think itÕs setting the tone for any other episodes.

So those were the top 10 best ttg episodes, I know a lot of you will be disappointed in

this list to be honest, but really the show isnÕt so bad as a filler.

Let me know in the comment section down below which episode was your favorite?

My name is Roya Destroyaa, thanks for watching, and donÕt forget to subscribe so you never

miss another nerdy list!

out okay why does spring but doesn't really jump because you can't push it

fast enough that's about it there so it says stomping action but I don't see how

the stomping action but it is cute so the legs do lock in forward position

like that and when you push this on the back it releases the legs maybe if it's

laying down whatever it looks almost like a frog or something I'm not sure if

the mechanism it seems kind of loose two legs

so maybe the mechanism on this one is actually busted but the tail moves back

and forth there's the belt and you push for the action legs move the front legs

move forward and lock into position so really cute little baby Triceratops

let's try to hatch her okay so oh I got it backwards so we're gonna put

that ends on first in the back and then just push it down I think you might be

able to push it multiple times to get it to pop off faster I don't know let's see

if this son falls over most of them will fall over when they hatch

oh that one did not that was cute and we have our baby Triceratops whoa guys that

Baldi's Basics: The Untold Origin of Baldi (Exclusive Interview) - Duration: 10:16.

Micah McGonigal's jaw hit the floor.

He was watching a video of the popular YouTuber, Vinny from the channel Vinesauce, playing

a game that he had made!

When Micah had started work on Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning for a game jam,

he could never have imagined that his game would get this much attention.

Micah had created the character of Baldi years previously, and had always playing around

with him in comics and games of his own creation.

Now, the wider world was also embracing Baldi, and Micah, better known as mystman12, was

seeing an outpouring of love for his mascot.

Micah assumed that being featured on Vinesauce would be the peak of his popularity, and that

attention surrounding Baldi would die off soon after.

He had no idea just how big the Baldi explosion was about to get.

Soon, some of the biggest YouTubers on the planet would be playing his game!

This is the story of mystman12, Baldi's Basics, and how a simple homemade comic strip

created a viral gaming sensation.

Micah McGonigal was always a big fan of video game design.

Whenever he got the chance, he would try out making his own simple games.

In 2008, his brother rented a copy of Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for

Wii, which Micah fell in love with.

Eventually he found a program called Future Pinball that allowed him to make his very

own pinball games, and this started him on the path to working on hobby projects as an

indie developer.

If ever there was a video game that came with its own customization mode or some kind of

game development tool, Micah wanted to try it.

He eagerly awaited the release of WarioWare DIY for the Nintendo DS, and when it released,

he spent hours making his own minigames.

The biggest help to his early game design education came from Petit Computer for the

DSi.

As he played around with this tool, Micah slowly learned the ins and outs of programming

in BASIC.

This was his first introduction to concepts like variables, loops, arrays, and binary,

and it helped him to develop a solid foundation in programming, all while having fun on his

DS.

The only game he completed was called Revenge of the Crazy Baby, but he had a lot of fun

experimenting.

Micah also played as many games as he could, enjoying plenty of titles such as Mario Party,

Spelunky, and his favorite multiplayer game of all time, Kirby Air Ride.

The game that Micah loved the most was the classic point and click adventure game, Myst.

He enjoyed this game so much that he used it for his online handle, naming himself mystman12.

He also tried his hand at making a few point and click games that borrowed the Myst formula.

It was ultimately comics, though, that led Micah to create the character that he would

become most famous for.

Micah's sister was working on drawing her own comic strip, and, not wanting to be left

out, Micah decided to join in the fun by making one too.

His character was named Baldi, because he had no hair, and Micah had fun coming up with

weird scenarios for him to end up in.

Micah only drew around 11 Baldi comics before putting down the idea for a while, and when

he returned to try and draw Baldi again, he found that he couldn't quite get things

right.

He'd essentially forgotten how to get the design right, so every time he tried to draw

Baldi, he got frustrated with his work.

Ultimately, Micah started treating Baldi a lot less seriously.

Where previously, he'd been earnest in his comic strip efforts, now Baldi became something

of a joke that would turn up wherever Micah felt he could use him.

This included trying to make a video game.

Micah made a small attempt at building a prototype of Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning

while playing around with the 3DS programming tool, SmileBASIC.

He didn't get further than changing a texture and recording a voice clip, as he ultimately

found the existing raycaster engine too much effort to work with.

Micah kept working on various projects over the next few years.

Every few months, he would make progress working on a new pinball game called Joe's Ultimate

Bus Ride, and he still hopes to finish it someday.

Then, Micah was browsing on Reddit.

The Gamedev subreddit was set as his homepage on his computer, and so he spotted when people

started discussing an upcoming game jam.

The point of the Meta Game Jam was to make something that would appeal to game developers.

Games entered into the contest should in some way reference the ins and outs of game design,

breaking the fourth wall as they explored the wider world of gaming in a self-aware

fashion.

What really caught Micah's eye was the two week time limit on the project.

Everything needed to be completed in a very short period of time, which meant that there

was a clear, fixed goal for the game.

This meant the project couldn't drag on endlessly.

It was perfect for him!

Going into his gamejam experiment, Micah had the feeling that he might be about to bite

off more than he could chew.

Game design was a slow, laborious process, so he didn't want to overburden himself.

He ultimately decided to work in Unity, but as he wasn't very familiar with the game

engine, he wanted something that was nice and simple.

Then, Micah remembered Baldi's Basics; a game that he'd been meaning to make for

a while, but had never had the time for.

This felt like a pretty perfect way to approach the Meta Game Jam.

The whole point of Baldi's Basics was that the game was meant to emulate Sonic's Schoolhouse

and other edutainment games of the '90s.

In other words, the production value needed to be fairly low.

This was the whole point of the joke.

And so, Micah began working on his little game.

There were small hiccups along the way.

Sometimes Micah would get stuck working with Unity, thinking that something didn't quite

work because of the engine, before eventually discovering that the fault was his own.

Eventually he would eventually just find an option or setting that he had missed that

fixed the issue.

There were discouraging moments in the project.

On his second day of work, Micah only managed to make a few textures for the hallways in

his game, and he was only really pleased with one of them.

Nevertheless, he kept pushing forward, trying his best.

All in all, the process was fairly smooth.

Thanks to the small scope of the game, and the fact that Micah already knew approximately

what he was doing, there were no big challenges along the way.

Some game modes had to be scaled back, but ultimately, Micah managed to fit pretty much

every planned feature into the game.

In just two weeks, the game was finished, and Micah shared it with the world.

He was not prepared for the wave of attention that followed.

When Micah first saw Vinny of Vinesauce fame playing his game, he was floored.

Soon after, he began seeing more and more videos popping up on YouTube, notably from

Korean players.

His game wasn't just growing in popularity; it was an international sensation!

Every time Micah thought that things were about to die down, he instead saw Baldi's

popularity rise.

The numbers just kept growing, and soon, some of the most popular YouTubers in the world

were playing his game!

Somehow, inexplicably, Baldi had conquered the world.

Micah had created a hugely popular video game, and in just two weeks, in his spare time!

The moral of the story is that there's no barrier to entry in video game development.

If you want to learn to make games, there's nothing stopping you from throwing yourself

in, as Micah did.

Start small.

Practice, learn, and don't be afraid to fail.

Take part in game jams or other similar contests as a way of honing your skills.

All creative skills require time and effort.

As you continue to improve, you'll be able to see yourself advance as you look back at

your older work.

Plus, if you find some truly special ideas while you're experimenting, you can come

back later to build them into something that's even more noteworthy.

Ultimately, game making, as with all other creative endeavors, is its own reward.

Keep making things for the sake of learning and growing, and you'll find satisfaction

in what you're doing.

There's nothing stopping you.

Go make something today that you can be proud of.

HOW TO DO SIDEFLIP ON A TRAMPOLINE FOR BEGINNERS!!! - Duration: 3:09.

For more infomation >> HOW TO DO SIDEFLIP ON A TRAMPOLINE FOR BEGINNERS!!! - Duration: 3:09.

-------------------------------------------

How to get MILLIONS OF VIEWS like Morgz (8 Proven Steps!!!) - Duration: 6:41.

YouTuber "Morgz" has been the king of the trending page recently. Nearly all of his

public videos have over a million views and his channel collectively has over

six hundred and seventy two million views. He also has over five million

subscribers which is exponentially increasing considering he hit 3

million subscribers only four months ago. So, as someone with 15 subscribers, I was

curious how he's managing to pull in thousands of subscribers every single

day. So today I wanted to discuss the eight tactics he's using to get millions

of views on his videos... Step 1: Prank some people. Morgz is the

self-proclaimed king of the prank.

(Yelling) "LOOK AT THE CROWN, BABY! The prank king has returned!"

Ideally, you want to make either your parents

or your girlfriend as upset with you as possible.

(More yelling) "MORGAN! This is not a tan! Morgan! Morgan."

"Peek-a-boo!"

"This is a joke right?! Okay, let's calm down."

Calm down...

(Incoherent Screaming)

Why do you keep doing these things?!"

"Morgan, this is getting so annoying. Just look me! This is so much! Just look at... Talk

to me! Acknowledge my existence! What's wrong with you?!" Step 2: Make up

challenges and do them. They don't even have to work or be relatively good

because... You made them up.

"Here's the problem guys... we got my head out. And if it was that hard to get my head out...

How are we gonna get my entire body out?"

"I've got it! I've got it! You've got to lift! Okay.

3... 2... 1... Lift!

"Don't break my mop!"

"I'm up!" (Screaming begins...)

(Screaming continues)

"I did it!" (Screams. Again.)

Step 3: Spend lots of money. And by lots, I mean

thousands of dollars at least. Now, if you don't have thousands of dollars to spend

on YouTube videos, you're in luck! Finding thousands of

dollars will also get you millions of views. Step 4: Start playing Fortnite.

This alone will probably already get you a ton of views but major bonus if you

make it unnecessarily sexual. Step 5: Get a girlfriend. I know this one can be

hard but trust me it's worth it. Having a hot girlfriend is an absolute must so

that you can exploit your relationship and her attractiveness for content and

millions of views. Step 6: Exercise your facial muscles. You need to

have the most expressive angry and shocked faces imaginable.

People's faces should hurt when looking through your thumbnails.

Step 7: Get good at photoshop. Your thumbnails are going to have to be as

brightly colored as possible. You will also have to be able to photoshop the

results of your made-up challenges because... they're never gonna work.

(More screaming!)

Step 8: Get some rest! You've worked hard trying to get

millions of views so get some sleep! Just make sure it's anywhere but your own bed

and make sure you document it for YouTube of course. "So what I think I might do

is move all of these boxes here or just out the way so then this space will be

empty and I can kind of lay in that gap and cover myself with her blanket. So,

then I'll literally be sleeping a foot away from her and she

will have no idea." So, you might be thinking, "How do you know these steps

will work?"... Listen, I know for a fact these steps will work because they have been

scientifically proven by both his mother and his girlfriend. Just copy every

single thing Morgz does and you're on your way to the trending page. I'm

talking same titles, same thumbnails, same videos. Easy. These two women have gotten

millions of views on their channels and over a million subscribers each using

the Morgz method. I think I'm gonna try the Morgz method... I think it's finally

time tp become a challenge YouTuber... Hey guys, it's Tatum I'm gonna be spending

the night in my own house without anybody noticing! Okay, um, I'm really excited.

I'm a lil nervous though but that's only because um... there's nobody home right now...

But wish me luck! Hey guys, so it's been a few hours... no

one's home yet um... so I'm gonna go to bed but... No one, no one's noticed me yet so

challenge is going great! Gonna go to bed now um.

So, wish me.. wish me luck! Hope no one comes into my room while I'm sleeping... um

If you liked this video, go ahead and give it a thumbs up and maybe become one

of my 15 subscribers! And I know what you're thinking, "If I subscribe you're

gonna have 16 subscribers" but... you're wrong. I'm only ever going to have 15

subscribers. That's just the way YouTube is gonna work for me.

body of Michael Knight

my video description there are life game things down there for all of you guys to

grab and subscribe to me on that great Stardust movie review app and join me on

patreon if you really really liked my content let's get into the review what's

up everybody you're in the building with Oh uncle Mott today we're doing a fire

sticking chill covering a movie you might have missed that was hell or good

call upgrade but before we do that y'all know we got to put on the plus seven

glasses of cinema sexy as hell and work on skilling up this crap giving you a

better YouTube experience something better to look at and if you like in

here to give you see me wearing from the Michael avenatti hat for president -

real estate gear or whatever go shop like Gamescom my big homie Brian told me

to go see upgrade when it was in theaters

didn't and damn if I missed out ladies and gentlemen if you are a fan of action

horror thriller movies you like that old-school grindhouse type of movie and

you didn't go see upgrade because their budget didn't allow for big promotion

then you missed out and now is your opportunity to see something really good

this weekend the movie stars to say one of the guys that played in the original

song and he delivers in this movie he did a hell of a good job so the story in

essence is about a man who loses his wife through violence and in that same

assault they beat him so badly he becomes a quadriplegic

can you imagine what life is like to have to live knowing your wife has been

killed you're stuck having to have somebody feed you bathe you and all that

and it's in a more of a futuristic time where the cars are better technology is

better the police have drones that are panning

the sky's checking out everything and it just seems like your life is over with

then pops a man in the hospital to offer this quadriplegic a new device that

they're testing a chip that they can put in this spine that will give him

function of his body back at first main characters like nah hell nah ain't doing

that then eventually he winds up on the operating table he gets it done but what

he doesn't know is that once he gets this done to him

this chip not only gives him his feeling bad it can actually take over his body

and make him do things that only a robot could do in a human's body and he is

doing some crazy stuff got to be more careful I mean the man knows every bit

of self-defense to kick conor mcgregor's ass you could ever think of he has

pinpoint accuracy he can dodge bullets he can dodge knives he can immediately

have feeling in his body or taken away I wonder what other filthy McNasty things

he could have done with that computer chip that this movie didn't explore and

so you go through this movie as he is in

essence an antihero going against the cops was supposed to be trying to find

the people that killed his wife but they're not doing their damn jobs he

starts looking for him and got to be more careful he finds him and I'm not

gonna give you the rest of the story but you can kind of start understanding what

happens from that point let's just talk about the story and the good and the bad

the good by far is the main character and the way they weave horror humor

tragedy on a low budget they weave all these things together seamlessly you

have no idea that this is a low-budget film you can't tell at all and they

weave those things together and one of the best ways I've seen them

the bad part the the storyline is great too but the bad part is the character

development pretty much with everybody else you really get no background about

his wife there's a co-star in this movie which is a cop and she just pops up out

of nowhere you don't understand why she there why is she the cop on the case why

is she doing what she's doing you don't get that the villains are just villains

I mean now they have some crazy things that they can do but there's no depth

there's no no depth to the villains I mean they're just villains you know the

best villains are the ones that are so conflicted with something that you can

almost support you're not gonna get that in this movie but for a lot of action

and a lot of fun and to kind of give you a throwback to the Six Million Dollar

Man the 70s and 80s grindhouse type of movies this movie is gonna get

it done and keep you entertained it's a lot of fun and overall life games is

gonna give this movie a seven-point 7 out of 10 it is that good the one main

character was able to carry this movie by himself and I guarantee you you

probably missed it well that's gonna do it for this video ladies and gentlemen

don't forget to like my video comment and subscribe go get yourself a life

game if you'd like to give you see me wearing go over the shop life games

Celebs Who Vanished And Are Still Missing Today - Duration: 6:20.

Pulling off a successful vanishing act is an unusual and difficult task - especially

if you're a public figure of any variety.

You'd think it would be impossible for a noteworthy celebrity to seemingly disappear

into thin air -- but, as these missing celebrities have proven, anything can happen.

If there's one thing to be learned from these missing celebs, it's that no one is

too talented, popular, or successful to completely fall off the grid.

Here's a look at some of the most mysterious cases of missing celebrities.

Richey Edwards

If Lord Byron, Sid Vicious, and a moody teenager procreated, their spawn would probably look

and act a whole lot Manic Street Preachers' rhythm guitarist and lyricist Richey Edwards

- a mid-1990s British rock idol.

Edwards was handsome, moody, and dreamy, with a talent for writing lyrics about depression,

and an even bigger talent for disturbing publicity stunts.

When a journalist with a music magazine implied his band's posturing was insincere, Edwards

grabbed a razor blade and carved "4 REAL" into his own arm.

When he first went missing, in February 1995, it could've just been another chapter in his

twin stories of self-destruction and self-promotion.

However, things took a turn for the worse when it quickly became apparent that the young

poet was gone for good.

After he disappeared from his hotel room, Edwards' car was later found abandoned near

the Severn Bridge.

Edwards was legally declared dead in 2008, but his body has never been found.

Connie Converse

A 1950s musician, Connie Converse is now considered the first modern singer-songwriter, crooning

intimate, lyrical ballads suffused with melancholy at a time well before Bob Dylan had made his

mark.

However, her contemporaries were not aware of how groundbreaking Connie was, and in 1961,

she quit music altogether - virtually unknown and convinced she was a failure.

In 1974, Converse wrote to her friends that she was going to make a fresh start, loaded

up her car, and drove off into the sunset, never to be heard from again.

No trace of her has ever surfaced, and it's generally thought Converse fell victim to harm.

Even sadder?

Converse rose to popularity in 2009 when a handful of her songs were released on an album

called How Sad, How Lovely.

Unfortunately, Converse saw none of this success.

Jim Sullivan

If Jim Sullivan's name isn't ringing any bells, that's because he's the definition of a cult

artist.

A folk-rocker who was part of the LA scene in the '60s and early '70s, Sullivan cut just

two records before disappearing.

In March 1975, Sullivan was heading to Nashville for what was meant to be his big break.

His car was found abandoned in the desert outside Santa Rosa, New Mexico.

His wallet, clothes, and guitar were all found in a nearby motel, but there was no trace

of Sullivan himself.

According to a friend, Sullivan would've never left his guitar behind if he planned to vanish.

Appropriately for a dude who released a record called UFO - which featured lyrics about driving

into the desert and being abducted by aliens - one of the more prominent theories is that

he was - you guessed it - abducted by aliens.

Rico Harris

In the year 2000, Rico Harris was on top of the world.

He was playing basketball for the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters, and before that, he'd

been a Top 100 college basketball recruit.

But drinking kept him from reaching his potential, and he wound up out of basketball and began

working as a security guard in LA.

The final blow came in 2014 when he was fired for drunkenness.

He left his mom's Los Angeles home to drive to Seattle and stay with his girlfriend, but

his car was later found abandoned outside Sacramento.

Sources close to Harris confirmed he was known for disappearing for days on end, but this

time he was in a weird mental state.

A backpack and phone were found on the roadside, but Rico Harris was nowhere to be found.

Days after Harris vanished, people were phoning in sightings of a giant person walking alongside

State Route 16.

Footprints were found in sand - but there was no sign of Harris.

The LA Times suggests he was probably picked up as a hitchhiker.

After that… who knows?

Jim Thompson

Jim Thompson is arguably the most famous American to have ever lived in Thailand.

A former agent in the Office for Strategic Services, Thompson moved to Thailand at the

end of World War II.

He set up a silk business, single-handedly turning Thai silk into a global commodity,

and he was known to be a socialite, throwing huge parties for Bangkok's rich.

In 1967, Thompson left Bangkok for a hiking trip in Malaysia.

He set up camp in a bungalow, went on an afternoon walk, and never came back.

Though Thompson was a soldier with field experience and the wherewithal to survive in the wilderness,

he'd also made many enemies throughout his illustrious career, from competing businesses

to the CIA, any one of whom would benefit from his disappearing.

It's almost like a real-life game of Clue.

Scott Smith

Canadian band Loverboy was one of the biggest rock bands of the early '80s with hard-charging

hits like "Hot Girls in Love" and "Working for the Weekend."

Scott Smith was a founding member, staying with the group all the way until his mysterious

and frightening disappearance at sea on November 30th, 2000.

After playing with his band in Vancouver, Smith and his friends set out for Mexico on

a 37-foot sailboat.

As they sailed down the coast and neared San Francisco, the weather got rough.

A 20-foot wave knocked Smith off the deck of the vessel and into the water.

Coast Guard helicopters arrived within 20 minutes and dispatched two search boats, which

scoured a 133-square-mile area, to no avail.

Smith's remains have never surfaced.

Barbara Newhall Follett

Prepare to feel like an underachiever.

Barbara Newhall Follett was a Jazz Age writing prodigy who published her first novel at age

12.

That novel was The House Without Windows - a mega-complex work that won rave reviews in

the New York Times.

Everyone who read the book agreed Follett was going to be the next great American writer.

But after putting out just two novels, Follet was forced to give up writing when her father

suddenly ran off with a younger woman, leaving Follett and her mother penniless.

By age 16, Follett was working as a typist and fending for herself.

She never wrote again.

In 1939, at just 26 years old, Follet had an argument with her husband and left the

house.

She never returned, and no trace of her was ever found.

Her husband barely bothered to look for her, and her mother reportedly didn't discover

her daughter was missing until 1952.

Even stranger is the fact that the press wasn't alerted until 1966.

By then, they were probably asking, "Barbara who?"
