Necromancy: The Dark Art of Summoning The Dead - (The History of Necromancy) - Duration: 10:57.

Magic is something that we commonly see through all types of fiction and works of fantasy

Most of the time it provides us with a major plot device

it allows us to submerge ourselves in a world that feels familiar but yet unique and fantastical

In works of fantasy and fiction it's common to see magic described as light and dark

good and evil there are acceptable practices and then those that are taboo

the subject of this video is necromancy

a practice that many classify as black magic or dark witchcraft

a school of magic that should not be practised

but that wasn't always the case

and so today we'll take a look at some of the origins of necromancy

how it evolved and what examples we have today

before we go any further we first need to define necromancy

the term itself refers to a practice of magic that centres around communicating with the dead

this can involve summoning their spirit or even raising their entire body

as the spirit would no longer be considered part of our world

it's believed they would have access to the past present and future

raising them physically is something we see from those who perhaps wish to bring a loved one back from the dead

or in some cases they're even used as a weapon to do the bidding of their master

the word itself originated from the Latin Necromantia which was taken from the Greek Nekromanteía or Necromathia

which meant divination by the means of a dead body

this takes us to some of the earliest accounts of necromancy which took place in Greece and Rome along with Egypt and Babylonia

these practices are often compared to shamanism

and there was no stigma or notion of wrongdoing when it came to necromancy

this is something that came much later

there was a practice in ancient Greece called Nekyia or a Nekyia

which essentially was a rite or a ritual where the dead would be called upon to answer questions about the future

one of the earliest examples we have of this particular kind of necromancy comes from Homer's Odyssey

where we see the powerful sorceress Circe who is capable of both the raising and communion with the dead

Circe then teaches many of these spells to Odysseus the hero of the story

she then advises him to travel to the underworld and to perform an Nekyia

In order to gather the information needed for him to safely return home

in book 11 of Homer's Odyssey Odysseus was instructed to raise the spirit of the blind prophet Tiresias

and this particular ritual is described in some detail

he must first light a fire in the dark of night

and then sacrifice animals whose blood will be given to the shades or spirits to drink

whilst doing this he would recite the incantations given to him by Circe

Odysseus encounters several spirits before seeing the Prophet

the most notable of these being his mother

who he was shocked to see because he believed that she was still alive

when Tiresias finally appears he drinks the blood and begins to give a discus the information needed to make it home

first advising him not to eat the cattle of Apollo to avoid incurring his wrath

he also tells him that he will return home alone with none of his crew

we can see from this particular example

that necromancy wasn't seen as an evil form of magic almost quite the opposite

this type of necromancy would be used by numerous Greek and Roman poets

who would include these rituals in their stories

it became somewhat of a common trope for Greek and Roman heroes to perform a Katabasis

a physical journey to the underworld that involved performing a task or a quest

in many cases communion with the dead

those bringing the dead back to life were referred to as necromancer's

and it seemed when it came to summoning one's body they would mainly focus on those who had died recently

within a year or two

rituals of necromancy did tend to vary as we saw in Homer's Odyssey they can be grotesque

involving animal sacrifice and sometimes even mutilation and consumption of the dead

other times involves practices such as wearing the clothing of the deceased and consuming food such as blackened bread and unfermented grape juice

which was thought to symbolise the decay and lifelessness of death

it was fairly common practice to see artefacts such as talismans and wands used alongside these incantations

so when did necromancy become this dark art? this school of magic that was considered unacceptable or taboo

most sources point to once a time period of medieval Europe

when the church really began to crack down on magic and witchcraft

necromancy was one of those practices to be condemned as dangerous

the church labelled the act of necromancy as maleficium

an act of witchcraft were the intention of doing harm

necromancy would be equated to raising demons who hid under the guise of spirits

the church believed that resurrection itself was an act that could only be performed with the assistance of God

and interestingly enough there were a number of clergy who did perform certain degrees of necromancy

these practitioners were almost always highly trained

and educated in astrology demonology and exorcism

combing the Christian, Jewish and Arabic teachings that centered around necromancy

practitioners of necromancy or necromancer's outlined three things they believed could be achieved through the practice

knowledge illusion and the ability to manipulate the will of others

these three things can all be seen in a positive and a negative light it just comes down to where you stand

on one side you have the church who believed those outside would use necromancy as a means to harm others and benefit themselves

those who are not associated of the church saw it as an attempt to control and limit this form of magic so that it would only benefit the church

now whether or not you believe these rituals and this particular school of magic is real is completely up to you

my stance on Necromancy is pretty much the same as my stance on the supernatural and all sorts of myths and legends

I don't personally believe in these stories

but I believe they created and inspired interesting ideas and archetypes that we used and still use today in storytelling

and that segues nicely onto the next part of the video

having discussed what necromancy is where it came from and how it's changed

we can now take a look at some more modern examples and how the archetype of a necromancer is used today

for those of you who have been watching this video and waiting for examples of necromancer's

there are quite a few that appear in big franchises that you likely would have heard of or seen before

one that many of us would have come across in recent times is Tolkien's character Sauron

the Dark Lord who went by many titles one of these of course being the necromancer

those who have watched the movies and maybe read some of the books may be wondering why he was given this title?

because raising the dead isn't something we really see in any of the movies

however in the history of middle-earth a series of volumes collected by Tolkien son from all of his father's manuscripts

in volume 10 morgoth's ring we see a quote that tells us he is indeed capable of communion with a dead enslaving them and harnessing their knowledge

if we take a look at the Mortal Kombat franchise we have Shang Tsung and Quan Shi hoo both assumed roles of warlocks and sorcerers who dabble in the art of necromancy

in both their cases they focus on raising the dead to form armies for their master and ultimately do their bidding

raising an army of undead is honestly something that we see from most necromancer's

in Harry Potter we of course have Lord Voldemort a wizard who did practice necromancy

raising an entire army of skeletons and zombies during the first wizarding war which consisted mostly of those he had already murdered

we also see something similar to this with the white walkers and the night king of Game of Thrones

who can raise the dead by simply lifting his arms

now all of these examples so far definitely have evil intentions and they are the villains of their respected stories

but as we've already seen necromancy wasn't always considered a dark art and not all necromancer's are depicted as evil

we've already discussed the story of Odysseus who is the hero of Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey

if we take a look at the Marvel Universe and black panther in specific

T'Challa sister Shuri has the ability to reanimate the dead and she's no villain

we also have the rather interesting example of dr. Frankenstein

who many consider to be a necromancer who certainly didn't have evil intent

I do find the case of Dr. Frankenstein to be quite strange

because technically you can argue that he did raise the dead and therefore he qualifies as a necromancer

but I tend to look at him as more of a man of science and he's monster as a creation

so I guess we do have to ask ourselves

other than the influence of the church during the medieval period

why are so many necromancer's in fiction evil?

I think it comes down to the fact that they just make really good villains

when you defeat the villains army you expect the battle or the war to be over

but with necromancer's they're capable of summoning entire new armies from the corpses given this feeling of hopelessness

they also have a level of knowledge obtained through communing with the dead that makes them more than just a formidable enemy

there is also this taboo when it comes to messing of the dead and just leaving them to rest in peace

thus the act of raising the dead can be seen as disrespectful and even evil in some cases

there are some aspects of necromancy that we don't always have to view through a lens of ill intent

such as communicating with a dead

I mean sure this is still an aspect that can be used in a negative way

but someone wanting closure for a close friend or a loved one is something that most of us can relate to

how you choose to view necromancy is ultimately your choice

but hopefully this video has been informative

I'm sure those of you who were unfamiliar with the necromancy archetype will start to notice it a lot more in your favorite stories

feel free to share your favourite necromancer's or even just your thoughts with me in the comments below

Odin the Raven God - The Dark Path of Wisdom - Duration: 19:32.

Hello friends, how are you?

My name is Arith Härger and today I'm going to give one interpretation of the god Odin

but turned to the Thursatru spiritual path

surprisingly a lot of my patrons are genuinely interested in Thursatru since I've made a video about it

and so they asked me to

explore a bit more of this neo-pagan path of Norse spirituality

By no means is this a video expressing one unique possible interpretation of Odin

this is just a video where I shall

Present you one of many possible interpretations we can make about this deity

But turned to a Thursatru philosophical and spiritual understanding

of Old Norse religion and mythology

With this being said I would like to tell you that

when I did the video on Thursatru, that video isn't one single unique interpretation or understanding of

this neo-pagan spiritual path

It's just a general idea focusing on the Gnosticism and left-hand path expressed within Thursatru

So some people might agree

others not that much, but that's perfectly normal because

Spirituality isn't about a single truth

it's about exploring various realities and through a constant development of our own abilities and

The knowledge we acquire, we achieve new understandings

So that's the same thing I'm going to do with this video, I shall give you

a possible interpretation of Odin and turned to a more Thursatru understanding

But I will remain impartial in this

do what you will with the ideas I present you

and with an open mind keep them and develop them to reach other paths on your own

The god Odin has a very dark origin and in the myths

it seems he symbolizes the archetype of those who undergo a solitary path of self-sacrifice and

Self-destruction to acquire deeper knowledge and achieve greater wisdom

And in the end fulfill one's destiny to walk towards enlightenment

Let's start this video

The god Odin is without a doubt one of the most famous pagan deities

Certainly the most famous of the Norse pantheon along with his son Thor

these past decades Odin is generally seen as a Demiurge and bringer of order

a wise deity giving a certain sense of security and quite accessible to mankind

But is order a good thing?

How much chaos and destruction has Odin caused to implement his order?

How much harm has he done to achieve such a high level of wisdom?

because there is no dispute he is indeed described as a very wise cosmic being and

all his myths from start to finish are a never-ending quest for wisdom

But to achieve wisdom and a deep knowledge of primordial power the entire myths of Odin are a self-centered

blood-stained and selfish path

Snorri Sturluson

acculturated in Christian ideals and religious dogmas

painted us a very benevolent version of Odin

as being the Alfather, the Creator, the king of the gods, a version with too many similarities with the god of

The religious reality of his own time (Christianity)

centuries later Richard Wagner gave us an absolute romantic idea of Odin in his Operas

subsequently, and with the-

Increasing interest in the old ways since the 19th century and with the creation of religious organizations

based on old norse beliefs such as Ásatrú

Odin remained a very benevolent God even though the myths tell it otherwise

But the general idea constructed around Odin was that of a Demiurge and a fervent champion of order

fighting against the forces of evil and chaos

and that's exactly where the problem resides

the dualistic notion of good and evil inexistence in Old Norse beliefs

this notion of good and evil is a simplified notion that completely

refuses any kind of perspective because it's either good or rvil

and no argument can come from that

But the Old Norse beliefs and mythology have no true dualistic notion of good and evil

rather they are more inclined to an understanding of two polarities

order and chaos

Which doesn't have to necessarily be good or evil but both at once; order and chaos complement themselves

Because Odin is seen as a wise deity and on the side of order

in a dualistic notion he is automatically labeled as a good deity

And therefore the others he fights against have to be evil, because good doesn't fight good, right?

How can Odin be evil if he's on the side of order and wisdom?

Well, in an none-dualistic view or rather in a view of order and chaos

Odin can still be a wise deity and bringer of order, but he himself is a chaotic deity

He isn't necessarily evil, but he isn't good either

There is no order without chaos and no chaos without order

Throughout the myths we see Odin in a self-centered, self-directed path

Completely disregarding his own safety and especially the safety and well-being of others

numerous times he has tricked others, broke sworn oaths countless times, which takes special notice that-

For a northern pagan society this was highly condemned

One of the worst actions a person could commit

Odin stole, killed, committed murder

caused terrible pain to others and himself and all his actions go completely against the code of honour

of the ancient Germanic and Norse

His desire for ultimate wisdom led him to commit numerous and unorthodox actions, so to speak

Self-sacrifice

Self-destruction and leading to the destruction and misery of others solely for his own benefit

In an evangelical dualistic worldview, he is without a doubt an evil God

On a Non-dualistic worldview he is what he is, the archetype of those who take a dark path

towards enlightenment

Sacrificing everything until they achieve true gnosis, a dark God with a high level of complexity than given credit for

a teacher nonetheless who shows a path of great sacrifice and destruction

not because he is pure evil

but because the light isn't the only path towards great wisdom

Great wisdom comes with sacrifices

as I've said before there is no need for light in bright places, light is required in the most dark places

Ascending from darkness into enlightenment is more difficult, more painful, but the final reward is far greater

Because nothing else can destroy us if we already met destruction

Nothing else can cause us harm and bring us down if we have already

experienced the darker aspects of life

So, let's take a look at a particular example on Odin and his solitary

self-destructive quest for power and wisdom

One of the most famous myths about Odin is his self-sacrifice on the World Tree

his actions in this account expose darker characteristics of this God

a sacrifice of himself to himself

To obtain the deep hidden wisdom of the runes

He pierced himself with his spear and then hanged himself for nine days and nine nights

no food, no water, losing blood, losing oxygen, terrible pain and enduring this horrible trauma

A self-destructive path towards enlightenment to acquire deep primordial wisdom

I can understand why people see parallels here with Christianity and the self-sacrifice of God

in the guise of his own son to redeem a sinful world

because people coming from a Christian background and all of us with a collective consciousness-

very much rooted on Christian ideas, try to find parallels in our new pagan paths to facilitate the transition

however

Odin's sacrifice isn't to redeem a sinful world nor to save anyone

Odin sacrificed himself by his own free will

In the nordic tradition there is no emphasis on a messiah

Odin simply sacrificed himself for his own sake

In his solitary path to gain wisdom and power through self-destruction

Abandoning his condition as mortal

Abandoning his mortal restrictions that prevent him from gaining the hidden secrets

Odin sacrifices himself for the utmost secrets of the universe

Odin begins as a storm wrathful-God by the proto-germanic name Wodanaz

which later on evolved to Wotan

the Germanic deity of death and war-ecstasy

With time there was a great development around his cult until he reached Scandinavia as Odinn

Before the introduction of Abrahamic religious concepts

Odin was a very dark and demonic God both feared and revered by many

But nonetheless a role-model

perhaps not the

Safest and most comfortable role model, but without a doubt with important lessons to absorb

Odin's actions may not be to save humankind, but the path of Odin will certainly teach us to save ourselves

from weakness

ignorant and

uncertainty

His myths teach us that the spiritual quest towards light isn't always associated with light itself

and the good and beautiful aspects of life

We all seek the light but the wise also enter in the dark in a spiritual quest to reach the light

Darkness is a prerequisite of illumination

as it is often said "every shadow is derived from brightness; every shadow possesses the energy of the light"

We have many myths concerning Odin and his actions that cause a trail of destruction and blood feuds

solely

so he can acquire what he wants

what he ever wanted was wisdom and power and it doesn't matter how far he must go

and the horrible things he must do as, long as he achieves his goals and gets what he wants

Take the Mead of poetry for his instance, a source of immense power and ancient wisdom

Let's not go into details on that myth, but I'm sure you are familiar with it

So, you know how far Odin goes to get the Mead of poetry

He tricks a giant into killing others for him

He kills him when he has no further need of the giant, breaks his oaths, tricked another giant and his daughter

Shape-shifted and laid with her, lied to her, tricked her

Stole the Mead of poetry and caused great misery

That's not even the worst count

Treacherous, liar

murderer, thieve, deceitful

are we so blind to think Odin is a benevolent God?

By no means I am suggesting that he is truly evil

rather he goes through a dark path during his entire existence to obtain liberation

and I am NOT saying that that is good or bad. It's a choice

motives as good as any

but to think Odinn is good or to compare him with the monotheistic notion of a white light and bringer of salvation

is completely unmindful and inaccurate

the entire myths of Odin from start to finish are just horrible, the destruction and misery he causes

And what's more fascinating is the account of Ragnarök

which marks the very end of Odin's quest for ultimate wisdom

His myths are filled with sacrifice: sacrificing himself and others even those he loves and protects

The death of Odin in Ragnarok seems to be his final sacrifice

after killing or letting die everyone he came in contact with directly or indirectly

the final sacrifice is himself, his own death, the final sacrifice and the fulfillment of his true destiny

and achieving liberation

He knew what was going to happen and he accepted his fate and gave himself in order to complete his journey

I am perfectly aware that we have been for far too long

into traditions that show us a dualistic world view that simplified our thinking and

Deeply affected our ability to criticize and analyze

there is this tendency to see things as good and evil, black and white, dark and light

and it's not easy to abandon that way of thinking and feeling

so it becomes quite hard to understand the Norse myths and see them in a perspective that it's

completely outside this "normal" way of thinking

but when we realize the inexistence of a dualistic way of thinking in the old norse beliefs

we start to understand the complexity of such beliefs

and after all

Everything has both good and evil

Everything has order and chaos

Because the moment we are alive and take action, that will always affect something or someone

positively and negatively

every decision you make requires the acceptance of one thing

and simultaneously the sacrifice of another

If in paganism most people like to profess they are on a path more nature-oriented

then they should also understand that if we are subjected to the laws of nature

There is no true evil and no true good

Nature is what it is and does what it does to continue to exist and for its sole benefit

we can see Odin more or less in the same way at least his actions are out of his own free will

and Not for a greater good or a greater evil, but simply for the benefit of himself

Odin seems to be closer to the archetype of the solitary quest for true gnosis in a darker path to obtain

illumination

Take special notice that what I said in this video is just one possible interpretation of Odin

turned to a Thursatru philosophical and spiritual understanding

I'm well aware that Thursatru has its basis in anti-cosmic Satanism, which is a form of Gnosticism

and therefore dualistic views were brought into Norse myths in this path

But dualism itself is foreigner to the original nature of Old Norse beliefs

So in this aspect Thursatru is not the rebirth of any tradition of Old Norse practices and religious beliefs

It's something completely new and highly interesting in my opinion

However and

with this being said

I openly say that even though my own spiritual path also has some strong bases on Thursatru

I do not believe in a dualistic world view

Which is why this perspective I gave you of Odin in this video

is related to a Thursatru philosophical view but "softer"

precisely because I do not believe in the duality of things but rather in the chaos and order

within all things

so in conclusion

In this perspective I have presented you

Odin can be seen as the archetype of the solitary person who undergoes a self-centered dark path

towards enlightenment and greater wisdom very

much based on self-sacrifice and self-destruction to obtain liberation

Odin certainly goes to extremes which is why he teaches us that the path towards illumination and great wisdom

Isn't always pleasant and we must take in mind that in our spiritual paths

Sacrifices must be made

more often than not, sacrifices we are not physically and mentally ready to take, but we choose

and in our choices Wisdom is revealed

And we evolve through great sacrifice until we are ready to leave behind our condition as mortal beings

and everything that prevents us from reaching true gnosis

Right with your friends, I hope you have enjoyed this video and I hope you have enjoyed the background

a megalithic monument

Thank you so much for watching. See you on the next video and as always...

tack för idag! (Thank you for today!)

The Dark Side Of Cycling! Sneaky Tricks For Beating Stronger Riders - Duration: 7:10.

(logo swooshing)

- There's nothing like going on a bike ride with a mate,

someone you can while away the hours with

chatting and laughing.

(Simon and James laughing)

- Yeah, that's all well and good,

but what if that mate constantly makes you feel slow?

How do you get one over on someone

that's just frankly better than you are?

It's a good question.

Fortunately, the dark side of cycling

just might have some answers.

- Come on, Si!

- That's great bants, mate, yeah.

(jazzy music)

- Right, this one's simple but not particularly devious.

Take charge of the route.

If you've got a riding mate

that is stronger than you on the flat,

then it's inevitable that they're gonna

want to ride a flat route,

and that's where they can force the tempo

and play into their strengths.

But this way you can turn the tables.

Why don't you plan a route

that plays into your strengths instead?

Perhaps a hilly epic, or if you're a rider

with great power output but a bit of extra ballast,

choose a flat ride to take away the advantage

of your skinnier friends.

Well, this is something we have to do a lot with Emma.

(gentle music)

- The next three are all great tips

just to help buy you a little bit

of extra breathing space when climbing

without raising any suspicion

that you do indeed have a cunning plan.

And the basics, well, it's to effectively

rob your friend of oxygen, but in the nicest possible way.

- So one good way of doing this

is asking your friend an interesting question.

Watch this.

So mate. - Yeah?

- What's your favorite geometry?

- Oh mate, that's such a great question.

I mean, firstly I think we gotta separate

what the geometry that you think you like

from the geometry that actually.

Maybe. - Oh really?

- What I thought I knew about frame geometry

actually wasn't true at all.

Having a one tooth per sprocket jump, actually,

was probably optimal for that particular situation.

But then I just thought, well, maybe I should--

- Right, let's take a left here, mate.

- A left? - A really good road.

Yeah, seriously.

- We don't normally go left here.

- I know, mate, it's really good.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

- Am I gonna like it? - Yeah, 100% mate.

- [James] You'll love it, amazing road.

- I'm not 100% sure I do like this new road.

It's not very flat, is it?

- Oh mate, it flattens off in a bit.

You'll be alright, it flattens off in a bit.

Just keep digging in.

- Oh good god!

- Nearly there, mate. - What?

- Just keep with it

- Now, another great tip is for those of you

who were blessed with the ability to make anyone laugh.

Now, I'm not, clearly, but we can all search

on Google for great one-liners.

Drop one of those at key moments on the climb

and you will not only rob your friend

of oxygen from their lungs, but power from their legs.

Hey, James. - Hey, Si.

- You heard about that new restaurant

just opened up called Karma? - No.

- There's no menu, you just get what you deserve.

(James laughing)

Did you hear about the crook

who got caught stealing the calendar?

- No, mate. - Got 12 months.

(James laughing)

I said, so what if I don't know what Armageddon means?

It's not the end of the world.

(James laughing)

My wife and I, we have a laugh about how pathetic we are.

I laugh more. - What?

Si, I don't get that one. - No?

- No.

(laid back music)

Right, now this is a firm favorite,

and I've used it to my benefit over the years.

The trick is to offer some delicious piece of food,

so delicious that they just can't refuse.

And if it's well dry like this, then all the better.

(James chuckling)

Hey Si, try this amazing new gluten-free,

lactose-free, sugar-free, nut-free chocolate rice cake.

- Oh wow, thanks, James.

That sounds delicious.

(rice cake crunching)

That's really good, isn't it?

- Really good.

- It's really nice, but it's quite,

it's quite dry, isn't it?

- Come on, Si, you can do it.

Just munch it down.

- Have you got any water?

- Nah, just up on the top.

(jaunty music)

- Now, those last three were very much

about being a good friend, you know.

Offering your mate something to eat

and making them laugh and engaging them

in great conversation.

But desperate times call for desperate measures,

and nothing is more effective

than simply skipping turns on the front.

But you need to use this sparingly,

otherwise you may well find that you don't have

any friends left to ride with.

However, there is a great way around this.

Everyone loves a compliment.

See, watch this.

We're currently doing 32K an hour.

James, you are so strong today, mate.

It's like riding behind a motorbike.

34.

James, have you lost weight?

36.

I'm serious, mate, you are looking so ripped.

You're like, I've just never seen you so lean.

38.

Hey James, do you want me to give you a turn?

- No, mate, I got this.

Feeling really good, really good.

(energetic rock music)

Mate. - Yeah.

- Cafe's only around 2K away.

- Is it? - Not far away at all.

- That'll be nice.

I might start to lean a little bit.

- So last one, by fooling them into thinking

the cafe is only 2K up the road,

they are likely to toast themselves

long before they actually make it to the cafe,

which is further away than 2K.

So when they up the tempo,

take your chance to sit on the wheel for a few moments.

Wait for them to tire before cruising off to cafe win glory.

We all know, last one in buys the round.

Top 10 Video Games With Dark Endings - Duration: 10:21.

Whats up gamers and welcome back to Top 10 Gaming.

Im your host Johnny Rogers.

Before we begin make sure youre subscribed to our channel and leave us a comment down

below with the darkest ending to a video game youve ever played.

Now lets get to todays list of the Top 10 Video Games with Dark Endings

Oh and because this is video game dark endings, spoilers are in your near future.

So be warned!

#10 Grand Theft Auto IV Man do the developers at Rockstar games really

know how to box you into a corner.

In the ending of Grand Theft Auto 4, they really do not give you a happy ending decision.

You have two options to go with, one is exacting revenge and the other is making a deal.

If you go with making the deal, Nikos cousin Roman is shot dead by an attacker on his wedding

day.

If you go with the revenge option, Nikos love interest Kate ends up being torn to bits in

a hail of bullets from an assault rifle by a drive by shooter.

Both endings are abrupt from the once happy moment you shared in the church watching your

cousin get married.

Its a bold move by Rockstar as both endings result in a beloved character being killed

unceremoniously.

#9 Portal The first ending to Portal was a surprisingly

happy one at that, but when the sequel began building they retconned the first game and

patched in a second more dark ending.

When Portal 2 begins you awaken from your cryogenic sleep and the AI Wheatley tells

the protagonist Chell that ten thousand others that were in test chambers are now dead.

Without the ending to the first game added you would remain blissfully unaware of why

these people died.

All of those chambers were destroyed by Chell when she finished off the first game.

It did take a second game for people to realize just how dark the added ending was.

Essentially though you discover that you are responsible for killing 10 thousand people.

#8 Halo 3 Speaking of genocide.

Halo 3 certainly proved to become a dark ending for gamers.

After the war between humans and the covenant had slowed down it looked as though Master

Chief had done it.

He had saved the earth and stopped the aliens, something that would call for celebration,

but not just yet.

You then learn that while the war was going on, the Covenant had committed mass genocide

amounting to 23 billion.

So that makes things a little harder to celebrate when the people youd celebrate with are essentially

dust now.

It was 5 years after that ending before Halo 4 was released, but until then fans had to

just wonder if the human race would ever be able to recover.

#7 Conkers Bad Fur Day A first glance this seems to be a harmless

video game about a profane squirrel whos trying to save his girlfriend.

Although the developers added in a real dark twist that rips your heart out.

In the final minutes of the game ending the screen freezes right as a Xenomorph from the

Alien series lunges at you.

It offers a moment of the fourth wall breaking down where Conker asks the developers for

some help, they give him a katana and he defeats the alien.

He is then crowned king, but when he realizes his girlfriend is dead he asks the developers

for help again only to this time have no answer.

Its the ultimate metaphor of a god existing, but doesnt care about your every need.

So the game just ends with Conker on his throne drinking himself into depression.

#6 Half-Life 2: Episode 2 The Half-life episodes were a great way for

Valve to lay out the foundation to hype people up for a possible Half-Life 3.

Although in the ending of Half-Life 2 it left fans crushed and depressed for over 5 years.

Its an infuriating cliff-hanger where the protagonist Gordon Freeman along with his

friends Alex and her father Eli enter a hangar to board a helicopter finishing their escape.

Just when things are looking up a pair of Advisors break in and kill Eli in front of

Gordon and Alex.

Before theyre about to also kill Alex, Dog comes in to save the day, but it still leaves

us with Alex holding her fathers dead body.

Its a depressing glimpse into the Half-Life universe that will always be remembered as

one very dark video game ending.

#5 Shadow of the Colossus Known as one of the greatest video games of

all time, it sets gamers up for one of the most miserable plot twists in history.

As the protagonist called Wander you spend most of the ending trying to hunt down 16

things called colossi which are supposed to hold the key to rescuing your fallen love

Mono.

Although once you defeat the final one it is revealed that the colossi are actually

holding back a demon named Dormin.

The demon then possesses you and transforms your character into a baby with horns.

However Mono decides to take care of the baby, but it also means that Mono and Wander never

truly get to be together at the ending of the game.

#4 Red Dead Redemption

The Red Dead Redemption series has by far become one of the greatest storylines courtesy

of Rockstar.

The first game paid full homage to the wild west and the rogue character of John Marston

managed to be quite likable.

Which made this ending sting even more.

Marston comes out of the barn to a gang with guns pointed in his direction.

The game allows you to fire off a few shots, but before you know it the bullets have ripped

through Marston taking him down in a bloody mess.

Rockstar even manages to skip the whole famous last words cliche that would usually follow

a scene as brutal as that one.

Instead they flip to his wife and son Jack standing over his fathers body.

#3 Mass Effect 3 This is one of those games that the storyline

never lead you to believe it would be depressing, yet here we are.

Its mostly because gamers were lied to by BioWare, they insisted that in Mass Effect

3 all of the decisions you had made on your save file within the last three games would

culminate into a big emotional ending.

However what it came down to was a choice of three colours making all previous decisions

entirely irrelevant.

#2 Far Cry 3 Most people expected the Far Cry series to

become a forgotten death with its awful stories.

However remarkably enough Far Cry 3 managed to out do it with an even crazier narrative.

The ending was incredibly dark and probably not even safe for you to talk about at work.

We cant even show you the video its that brutal.

In the end you terminate the remaining friends you do have and then mid-coitus while in some

strange ancient ritual the woman stabs you in your chest.

Its strange, brutal and incredibly dark.

#1 Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Metal Gear Solid managed to pull a fast one

over on players with this shocking twist of events.

Naked Snake aka Big Boss saves the day, but hes forced to kill his former mentor because

she switched from the US to the Soviets.

Although whats revealed to us in the ending is that his mentor was actually a double agent

who had been helping Snake this whole time.

None of that matters though as his former mentors name goes down as a traitor instead

of a hero.

The game leaves us with Snake saluting her unmarked grave as he sheds a tear and becomes

one of the few people left who knew her truth.

And that has been the Top 10 Video Games with Dark Endings.

Lights in the Dark - "Episode #3: Abundant Life" - Duration: 12:31.

NARRATOR: They say that when you are climbing a mountain

you should pack light and take only what is necessary.

A backpack that doesn't feel so bad for a minute,

can really slow you down and wear you out on a hike.

In a similar way, sometimes we might not feel the need to let

go of certain burdens until we start following Jesus and

the purpose He has for us.

In that, we discover that some f our old ways of thinking and

doing things can only hold us back.

["Lights in the Dark" Intro instrumental music playing]

NATALIE: I am Natalie Goetz and I live here in Whitewater with

my husband Chris and I actually grew up

a missionary kid overseas in Africa

so that's actually a big part of my

testimony and my story comes from growing up and

kind of moving around my whole life. And now I am

a speech pathologist and so I work in elementary schools with

kids with speech and language disorders.

Growing up as a missionary kid was awesome in a lot of

ways, but it was really tough in a lot of ways too because we

moved a lot. Like in 12 years of school I was in I think 11

different schools and so almost every year I was in a new school

and meeting new kids and so I was always the new kid.

You know I learned how to adapt quickly. I learned how to be

very social and how to just be like an outgoing person

so that I could always be making friends, but a lot of times

I really deep down had a lot of insecurities and I really

struggled with being accepted. With fitting in with people.

And my personality type I really enjoy people's company and I'm

a people person and so it's really hard for me if I feel

like people are rejecting me. And so that kind of was

something that really kind of brought on this anxiety.

It was all the way back I'd say to fourth grade is when my

parents started taking me to doctors. I was coughing

all the time and they thought that I was allergic to stuff.

They were doing all these different you know, medical

exams to see you know if I had something in my lungs, if I was

allergic to things. And then it started to come around that

it would get worse in situations where I was more anxious

and stressed. And so they started looking at okay

well maybe it's an anxiety disorder. I think it was

seventh or eighth grade I was diagnosed with

Tourette's Syndrome and OCD, Obsessive-compulsive Disorder.

And so the Tourette's is pretty much anything that is vocal

that you can't control so it was the coughing and I also

had, I don't know how you would call them, like different

like patterns I would do on my face that would kind of calm me

down and release this like anxiety in me.

The Obsessive-compulsive was more with counting objects

like I would count everything around me. I was pretty

obsessive about like zippers, like closing zippers on

backpacks and stuff, and about closing doors like in my

kitchen every time I would close a cupboard I would have to like

bang on it. Like it got, it got really out of control and it

was just crippling me.

And so I was put on medication. I started going to different

like therapy treatments. I was in classes with like kids my

age so like other middle schoolers that were dealing with

OCD and Tourette's and anxiety, and I just always felt like this

is not me. But, you know, as a young girl I couldn't just

I couldn't stop it.

So the medication was really, really strong. And there was a

ton of really adverse side effects. And so for years and

years I struggled with being on medication and I gained a ton of

weight and I really didn't ever feel like it was, I mean I feel

like it was taking the edge off, but I still always felt really,

really anxious. I remember one day Chris came up to me and

this was after we had been married for a year, he was like,

"Natalie, do you think like your always going to be on this

medication?" And I was, you know, like "I don't know maybe

one day I won't need it." And he said, "You know I think we

should pray into possibly you know weaning you down

and coming off of this medication." Because we're

really coming into some new understanding. We were just

really sharpening each other. We were both growing a lot in our

walk with the Lord. We were just coming into understanding of

what is the root of anxiety and depression and all these other

things you know, and who were we called to be, who were we

created to be. So, as we're coming into this new information

it was like this old way of dealing with things wasn't

going to work anymore. So, we started praying and I know this

isn't for everybody, but for me, I knew that the Lord was calling

me to come off of that medication. So, that was like

four years ago and I've had less anxiety in the last four years

that I've had my whole life. I mean, there's just so much real

true, deep down peace that I experienced and I'm not saying

that the enemy doesn't try to come against me with anxiety

anymore, but it doesn't effect me the way it used too because

I have an understanding now. I just have this... that my

relationship with the Lord is at such a different place now

that it doesn't effect me the way it used to effect me. To me,

what I've been learning is that the Word of God is supreme. It

takes the highest place of authority, you know what I mean?

I don't judge who I am or I don't judge things based on my

experience because my experience is probably a lot of times gonna

fall short of the Word of God and the Word of God is my

standard. Even the times where I'm starting to feel stressed

you know, that's my experience like I'm starting to feel

anxious, that's the moment where I start walking by faith and not

by sight. You know what I mean? I just start praying out loud

like "Lord this is not who you made me to be. You did not

create me and design me to be anxious. You created me and

designed me to walk in freedom in you." That's who I am. You

know what I mean? That's my standard, is walking in all the

fullness of life. That you came to give us Jesus. You know what

I mean? Like John 10:10, "I came that you might have life and

have it abundently." Life abundent, you know? The reason

why the enemy wants so badly to bring anxiety and fear and worry

on the world, on us, is because he doesn't want us walking in

the full abundent life that Jesus has for us, you know? And

for so many years, the enemy stole so much joy from me

through anxiety and stress and depression. To me, its just

constantly regaining that ground, regaining that terrority

and saying absolutely not. Like I am not going to be anxious

about this. There's no reason for me to be anxious. There's

been so many times where I am like, "Lord, I don't know what

5 years is going to look like. I don't even know what 1 years

gonna look like." But I always ask Him, just give me one that

just the next step I can be obedient in and I'll take it.

And like without fail every time I just take one, like one step

for Him and He gives me that, and I take it in obedience,

He just opens up the next one. That's how I can trust Him is

cause I know His character, I know that He's consistent

and I know that He is faithful and so the experience I've had

with Him in the past is, He's trustworthy, and so now I know

moving forward I can trust Him, as my Father because I know

from experience in the past that He is gonna be there when He

says He's gonna be there. He has not failed me yet.

[Snapping fingers to a beat]

Abbie singing

NATALIE: There was a lot of years were I tried to, you know, I was taking

small steps to try to find freedom and I just never,

never met success. And I think it was because I was trying to

do alot of it on my own strength. The only way we

can walk step by step into freedom is with Jesus.

Is through the power of His Holy Spirit. Man, that is,

that is the key to freedom. That is when freedom really truely

rushes in full force is when we are hand in hand with Jesus

and walking with Him. Jesus is the answer.

Abbie singing: One small step at a time [Singing fades]

ABBIE: I hope you have been inspired by Natalie's story

just as I've been. Many times God also uses

counseling, life giving friendships, and healthy

lifestyle choices to help us inthe healing process.

No matter what our story is, through His son Jesus,

God offers us peace and wholeness deeper than we can imagine.

ABBIE [SINGING]: It's just one small step at a time.

Lights in the Dark - "Episode #4: Perception" - Duration: 12:31.

NARRATOR: Michelangelo, master sculptor from the Italian Renaissance, said

He could see a master piece and something of great value

before others could see it.

[Lights in the Dark"into instrumental music playing]

SUE: Most of my memories when I was little were pretty lonely.

Feeling, you know, kind of unheard, unseen,

uncared for, unloved. And I never really

realized how much that affected me after that phase. You know, I

mean I always figured it was like not a close relationship

with my parents, but it was really a door where the

enemy got in and really kind of messed with my perceptions of

myself. My father was never around. He worked all the time.

He owned his own business and if he was home, he was either

asleep or was watching a show and it needed to be quiet

and stuff. By the time I was 4, I was the only one left in the

house with my mother and she was always...

miffed. Not overtly mad, but not necessarily happy. Her

interaction with me was more dutiful, and so most of my

memories were playing by myself or wathcing TV by myself. She

also always accused me of stealing her scissors. She had

fiskar scissors, which are really good sewing scissors, and

they were mom scissors. It was like...oh multiple times a week

that she would say, "Susan, where did you put my scissors?

Why do you have to use my scissors? You have your

own scissors." And I would go into a panic and I would search

the whole house looking for her scissors knowing that I didn't

use them that day. And would come back and then all of a

sudden she would be at her desk using her scissors.

And so, it was like a condition guilt kind of thing. Her being

upset all the time, and mine not knowing why she was upset,

I assumed it was my fault. I had pretty unhealthy boundaries

because of that and people pleasing traits. One of my

kids asked me actually like well why do you always ask if you

did something or said something that you know upset me or

made me angry. And I was like, I don't know. And that's

kind of where the journey started for kind of digging

into all this. Part of the process was actually confessing

to my husband that even though we have been married for almost

twenty-five years, and we've known each other another two

years, that I had always questioned if he really loved

me. And I think that was kind of a slap in the face to him

his response was, "Holy Crap! You've spent the last 25 years

not feeling loved." I always knew that he loved me,

I just could never figure out why. Because of the

misperceptions that I had about myself. The enemy really doesn't

want us to get to the root causes of things and to identify

and deal with them. Because in doing that, we're gaining

freedom and we are able to walk fully in our identity

as children of God. Gods been taking me through remembering

some of those real early memories and how I felt

actually during those times. And kind of cleaning out the

misperceptions and replacing them with the truth.

The first part was recognizing that there was some sort of

behavior that was not quite right. Or a perception that was

not quite right. I usually dealt with a person, it was either

my sin or someone else's sinning you know, against me and

I took on an offense or you know just the results of a fallen

world. So at that point it would be kind of just confessing that

I have wrong thoughts or wrong perceptions and going through

the forgiveness process or the repentance process or sometimes

both depending on where the wound came from. So I had to

go through each individual person, that He would kind of

bring up in different situations and I would need to forgive

them and then need to forgive myself for taking on the

offense. And the wrong thinking, the misperception. Oh and

forgiving God if I had you know, blamed Him for anything. Then

God would generally remind me that I needed to specifically

renounce the wrong thinking that came in from the enemy.

And basically kick the enemy out and close the door.

The really good part was when Jesus would come in and heal

those wounds and just bathe me in His love. And it just led to

times of really, really awesome worship. Having His Holy Spirit

really just flood in and continually refill is so

important because without it we are doing whatever we're

thinking we're supposed to be doing in our own strength. It's

tiring and it's a lot of dead ends. I think a lot of people,

I know I did, kept them kind of at arms length. Like, we come

into this part of my life, but this parts really ugly so you

can't have access to that. But, it's really silly cause He

already knows His love is so great and His purpose is for our

good, for our future, and for our part in His story and what

He has planned for all of humanity. We need to be willing

to do that part; he's not gonna force us to do that part. The

enemy wants to prevent us from the exact thing that God has

created us for. And so, it's really important to be diligent

and staying with the Lord and staying with what He's saying and how He's leading.

Abbie singing

SUE: If I were try to encourage someone that maybe feels they

need to go through this process of allowing God to clean out

junk that doesn't belong. I would say to keep it really

simple and begin with just telling God that He is welcome

to come in. He's a gentlemen, He's not going to do something

against your will and so, it's important for you to let Him

know that you're okay with Him coming in and examining things

that may be wrong. It's worth allowing God to refine the gold.

ABBIE [SINGING]: And I have come for you.

Oh, hey, someone's finally making a TV series about the dark side of The Wizard Of Oz [Videos] - Duration: 1:52.

 Having failed to somehow learn the lessons of NBC's landmark primetime drama Emerald City—the show that dared to ask  "What if The Wizard Of Oz was nasty?"—Legendary TV announced tonight its own intent to bring L

Frank Baum's world of whimsical wonders to the small screen. Per Variety, the new series is being written and produced by Ed Ricourt, screenwriter of Now You See Me, whose other credits include Wayward Pines, Jessica Jones, and Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone

 (Hey, while we've got you here, can we talk about Emerald City for a minute? It was kind of like the also-nasty book version of Wicked, except everything was extra-hardcore: The Cowardly Lion was a war criminal, the Wicked Witch was hooked on opium, and Dorothy ended up crucifying the Scarecrow

It was amazing, like a Nine Inch Nails cover of "The Wheels On The Bus.".) Legendary's show presumably won't be quite so aggressively vicious—we'd be surprised if they crucified anybody at all, really—but it does take place at a time when "the return of a long-exiled Witch brings fear, division, and war to Oz," and promises to "examine stories and characters in Oz that haven't been previously explored

" (Bring on the weird porcelain people who live in the south of the country, we say: Those little bastards are probably up to some shit

)

The dark side of Karl Lagerfeld: His vile, 'fat-phobic' and misogynistic views laid bare - Duration: 11:39.

 He was known as the Emperor, a design superstar and one history's most important fashion icons

 Karl Lagerfeld, who has died in Paris, was best known for turning around the ailing fortunes of French label Chanel, now one of the world's fashion powerhouses

 But his achievements hid a darker side to the eccentric German designer, who also made headlines for provocative, and sometimes downright abhorrent, remarks

 And as some in the fashion world rushed to pay gushing tributes, others were more hesitant to lavish praise on someone whose statements revealed held 'fat-phobic' and misogynistic views

 They included calling Adele "a little too fat", saying Princess Diana was "stupid" and telling models who complained about sexual harassment to "join a nunnery"

Read More How did Karl Lagerfeld die? Chanel boss's cause of death as he passes away aged 85    The style icon, known for wearing sunglasses, a black suit and a white shirt, with his grey hair pulled back into a ponytail, died in hospital on Tuesday aged 85 after a battle with pancreatic cancer

 Model Cara Delevigne said she had been reduced to tears by the news, adding that Lagerfeld "changed my life"

 And Vogue magazine editor-in-chief Anna Wintour said: "Today the world lost a giant among men

" Read More Karl Lagerfeld claimed tests showed he was totally healthy just months before death    Others, however, criticised the outpouring of grief and urged people not to forget his less-than-elegant side

 Actress Jameela Jamil said the designer was "talented for sure, but not the best person"

 "A ruthless, fat-phobic misogynist shouldn't be posted all over the internet as a saint gone-too-soon," she tweeted

 Lagerfeld transformed Chanel during a 36-year tenure as creative director at the fashion house

 Once known for sensible tweed tow-pieces, the label became synonymous with show-stopping couture and futuristic minis - as well as extravagant fashion shows in wildly inventive settings, including a supermarket, an iceberg and even the launch of a double-C branded rocket

 As of 2019, he he boasted an A-list following including the likes of Keira Knightley and Kristen Stewart, and Chanel was turning over around £7

7bn a year.  But as he became increasingly lauded as a remarkable design icon, his unguarded remarks during interviews started to reveal beliefs which, unlike his designs, were astonishingly out of touch

 While the #MeToo Movement was calling out sexual harassment and fighting for fairer treatment of women, Lagerfeld had other, antiquated, ideas

 When asked about his thoughts on pro-woman movement, he said he was "fed up with it"

 "What shocks me most in all of this are the starlets who have taken 20 years to remember what happened

Not to mention the fact there are no prosecution witnesses. That said I cannot stand Mr Weinstein," he said

Read More Burberry apologises over noose hanging around model's neck at London Fashion Week    He later added: "If you don't want your pants pulled about, don't become a model! Join a nunnery, there'll always be a place for you in the convent

They're recruiting even!"  And he slammed male models who had also made harassment allegations, saying he tried not to work with them

 He said: "Having to put up with all those stupid models, no thanks.  "Not to mention the fact with all their accusations of harassment they have become quite toxic

No, no, no, don't leave me alone with one of those sordid creatures."  The designer also caused uproar by slamming German Chancellor Angela Merkel on a French TV show in 2017 for accepting Muslim immigrants into the country

 He said: "One cannot - even if there are decades between them - kill millions of Jews so you can bring millions of their worst enemies in their place

"  Claiming Germany's policy of accepting refugees from war-torn Muslim countries was a "huge error", he said she "had already millions and millions [of immigrants] who are well integrated and who work and all is well… she had no need to take another million to improve her image

"  The French broadcasting regulatory commission launched an inquiry in his comments following public complaints

 Largerfeld's aversion to women who weren't as slim as the skinny models he sent on his catwalks was also evident

 After a push to see more plus-size women in fashion shows and magazines, he said: "No one wants to see curvy women

You've got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying thin models are ugly

Fashion is about dreams and illusion."  A well-known music lover, in 2012 he said: "I prefer Adele and Florence Welch

But as a modern singer she is not bad.  "The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice

"  He was slammed for his comments and later apologised - kind of.  In a 2013 CNN interview, he reiterated how much he loved Adele's music and said the quote had been taken out of context, adding that he had said Adele was a "little roundish

"  It wasn't his only acid-tongued jibe aimed, for the most part, on well-known women

 In a 2006 interview with New York magazine, Lagerfeld said of Princess Diana: "She was pretty and she was sweet, but she was stupid

"  The late Princess of Wales had once been a fan Lagerfeld's designs, but later refused to wear Chanel because its iconic double-C emblem reportedly "reminded her of Charles and Camilla"

 He also insulted Kate Middleton's sister Pippa, telling a German magazine "I don't like the sister's face

She should only show her back."  His comments are rumoured to be the reason behind the royals' apparent snub of Chanel, while often using other luxury labels such as Prada and Dolce & Gabbana  And he once took another dig at Angela Merkel, commenting on her outbursts during a meeting with US president Barack Obama: "Too long pants, too tight jackets, awful colours

Everything is wrong!  His comments weren't just limited to women either. He shocked many when in 2009 he mocked singer Seal's face scarring - due to lupus - to German media

 "I am no dermatologist but I wouldn't want his skin. Mine looks better than his

He is covered in craters," he said.  While indefensible, his lack of compassion towards others could perhaps be explained by Lagerfeld's response when, before a fashion show, Vogue magazine asked how he was feeling

 "I have no human feelings," he said.  Lagerfeld was born on September 10, 1933, in Hamburg, Germany, but he spent his life lying about his age, once claiming he was born in 1938, and in 2013 declaring it was actually 1935

 Records later confirmed his real birth date, but in 2008 still celebrated his 70th birthday, despite actually turning 75

 Although his family name was spelt Lagerfeldt, her used the spelling without the 't', considering it to "sound more commercial"

 In 1955, after living in Paris for two years, he entered a coat design competition and won, later befriending Yves Saint Laurent who would be a lifetime friend and rival in both work and love

 The recognition landed Lagerfeld a job with the couturier Pierre Balmain, where he designed for films and dressed stars including Sophia Loren, after which he became head designer at Jean Patou

 He later took up a job at Italian house Fendi, spending a world-record-breaking 54 years there during which he produced more than 100 collections

 In the process he became enemy No 1 of animal rights groups after making fur coats his speciality

Peta's UK director Mimi Bekhechi called him "an undertaker".  Lagerfeld joined Chanel on a part-time basis in 1983, continuing to design for Chloe, Fendi and others, and took up a full-time spot there in 1974

 In 1983, Alain Wertheimer, the co-owner of Chanel, asked Lagerfeld to breathe new life into the iconic French house, which had been in sleepy decline since Coco Chanel's death at the age of 87 in 1971

Read More Karl Lagerfeld revealed funeral plans less than a year before his death  As he increased in statute in the fashion world with daring collections which referenced everything from climate change to Amy Winehouse, he started to develop his own imitable look too and quickly became one of the most recognisable fashion designers in the world

 To fit into his black suits, which he would with fingerless glovers, pompadour and sunglasses, he stuck to a diet of no sugar, cheese or bread, and around 10 can of Diet Coke a day

"I'm like the animals in the forest," he said. "They don't touch what they cannot eat

"  And it wasn't long before the world got to know the designer's eccentric side too

  The most important person in his life was his cat Choupette, given to him by the model Baptiste Giabiconi

The feline had a personal maid, travelled by private jet, had her own book, Instagram account and Wikipedia page, and even a product line in her likeness

 After growing a goatee he declared that "with all these whiskers I look a lot like Choupette… we're really like an old couple

In fact, she maintains it for me, we sleep on the same pillow and she spends her life licking it

"  In 2013, he proclaimed he would marry the cat if it was legal, and last year said he wanted his ashes to be scattered along with his mother's and those of the cat, if she died first

 As it happens, Lagerfeld's last bizarre act could be to make his beloved cat the heir to his entire £150million fortune, something that under German law could be possible

 The designer told an interviewer that 'among others' - which could include his young godson, Hudson Kroenig - he would be giving his riches to Choupette

 He he told Numero magazine he doesn't want a funeral, saying: "I've asked to be cremated and want my ashes to be scattered with my mother's… And Choupette's if she dies before I do

There will be no funeral. I'd rather die!"

Steve Clarke launches furious rant at 'Dark Ages' Rangers fans after Ibrox abuse - Duration: 2:51.

 Clarke accused the Rangers support of living in the Dark Ages after being targetted with abuse during his side's Scottish Cup fifth-round replay pummelling last night

 Chants of "sad Fenian b*****d" echoed round Ibrox as the home side booked a quarter-final clash with Aberdeen with a 5-0 win

 Gers ace Alfredo Morelos struck four times on his return from suspension but Kilmarnock's hopes were over as soon as keeper Daniel Bachmann was dismissed for an off-the-ball clash with Glen Kamara

 Clarke could barely contain his disgust with referee Alan Muir over the decision as he branded the sending-off a joke

 But he saved his fiercest condemnation for the home faithful as he hit back in a withering blast

 "It's lovely being back in the west of Scotland, really nice," said the former Chelsea defender

 "When I was approached by Rangers about taking over the job here I was assured that 'we don't have that in the west of Scotland any more

It's gone'. "They can call me a b*****d or a w****r. No problem, thanks, guys. But to call me a Fenian b*****d, come on

Where are we living in? The Dark Ages?  "They are not allowed to call my assistant (Alex Dyer) as black b but they can call me a Fenian b*****d

What are we doing in Scotland? "I wake up every morning and thank Chelsea for coming and taking me away from the west of Scotland because my children don't understand this

 "Thankfully when I go down there my children, my grandchildren don't have to worry about this

So, fantastic to be back in Scotland." Clarke savaged referee Muir over his decision to send-off Bachmann after the keeper was accused of elbowing Kamara at a corner 25 minutes in

 He said: "If the penalty had been given in the first two minutes it would have been different

The red card is a joke. "If that's the standards we might as well go home. Why speak? It's every week

 "You'll probably write about Morelos' four goals but the officials decided the game

It's embarrassing. "The goalie just lifted his arms. Every goalie does it every week

It's embarrassing. How can I talk about football tonight?"
