"Street crime is on the rise again this year."
"Last night another person became the victim of street crime…"
"…and police were unable to apprehend the criminals."
"Public is asking the government for protection."
"Government has advised public to take precautions…"
"…not to go out alone at night."
Hey, Farhan…
Check her out.
She's hot, man.
A real beauty.
Honk at her.
Again.
- Faster, man! - Ok, ok, dammit!
Why is she slowing down?
Oh, shit! It's the police… turn right, turn right!
Fuck this, man… the girl is too clever.
And the road is too long. Forget it.
No! I'm going to nail this bitch.
Come on, leave it. Let's turn around.
Hey, look…her car stopped.
I'm going to get her now! For sure. Just wait there, baby.
She's totally screwed now. She's got nowhere to run.
"Last night another heinous street crime incident occurred."
"Two young men were killed after their car was snatched."
"The police has no real clue about the car snatcher…"
"…but they suspect that it might be the work of an organised gang."

[SUB] Shadow the Hedgehog - Dark - Japanese Cutscenes - Duration: 11:54.
Emergency message to all mobile troops from HQ.
The black hedgehog who is currently seen hiding within Westopolis,
Shadow the Hedgehog, is wanted as a major suspect that participated in the terrorist incident.
All units, as soon as you find the suspect, secure his identity, alive or dead.
Get out of my way.
F-Freeze!
If you resist... W-We'll shoot!
How foolish...
Good work, Shadow...
Who are you!?
Did you... Lose your memory?
No matter. You will understand soon enough...
We don't have time now.
Your next objective is to infiltrate the federal government's main computer.
No objections?
None.
Where am I...?
Is that... Doctor Eggman!
The Doctor might now what those black aliens really are...?
That's a Chaos Emerald!
Shadow, you too!?
Doctor!
I don't intend to fight you. I have my reasons for needing the Chaos Emerald.
Give that Chaos Emerald...
Grr, be quiet!!
All Chaos Emeralds in the world are mine!
Those who interfere are my enemy, no matter who they are!
I'll smash you up just like those black aliens!
Mr. President, we're in a state of emergency.
What is it!?
The Black Corps showed signs of being suppressed in every city...
But they are now surrounding Central City...
With the most overwhelming military force yet!
Wh-What!?
Shadow, allow me to explain something to you.
Your lost memories of the past... Are memories filled with feelings of revenge towards humanity.
Revenge... Towards humanity...
Yes, when you once obtained the ultimate power, these vile humans took everything away from you.
Remember your grudge towards mankind!
And retaliate against them with the greatest terror!
I see you are finally starting to notice... How foolish and ugly creatures humans are.
Now, it is time for final preparations for the ritual.
Listen up, that space colony ARK has a fearful weapon of destruction that can pierce through stars, the Eclipse Cannon.
Pierce... Through stars...
Indeed.
In order to demonstrate its power at 100%, 7 Chaos Emeralds are required,
But that will spoil tomorrow's ritual...
Tomorrow's... Ritual?
Now go! Give this planet terror and despair
with that Eclipse Cannon humanity itself created!
From ARK to Command HQ! From ARK to Command HQ!
Emergency message! The wanted black hedgehog, Shadow, has been sighted!
He's heading straight towards the Eclipse Cannon's control room!
Listen up, don't let Shadow slip no matter what!
Make sure to eliminate him on the spot, even if it costs you your life!
R-Roger that!
We are Black Arms, emissaries from the skies who came to take control of this planet.
To the foolish humans who are opposing us... Drop your weapons and halt your useless resistance.
It is now obvious how incompetent you humans are...
Damn it...!
From this day on, I, Black Doom, shall rule this planet!
H-How can this be...
And now, to start with, we shall eliminate this planet's incompetent leader.
Wh-What!?
Take a good, long taste of the beginning of a new era filled with terror and despair!
Mr. President, are you alright?
You don't need to worry about me... More importantly, what about Central City's citizens...?
Please rest assured.
Thanks to the evacuation advisory that took place the day before yesterday, they have all been taken refuge in a safe place.
I see... That's a relief...
What is it!?
Commander! We're under enemy attack!
The Black Corps are exceeding thousands and are flying in from above our HQ. Gate 01 has been breached!
What!?
According to the report, the one leading the corps is the aforementioned black hedgehog!
Shadow!? Th-That can't be...!?
You devil...! Finally shown your true colors, I see!?
Emergency message in-hall! All mobile troops are to prepare for battle by the gate!
Prepare the anti-terrorist mobile weapon, Diablon!
B-But that's still incomplete...!?
I don't care!! I will board it!
Mr. President's life and the Chaos Emeralds will be protected to the last by all efforts of our GUN!
Sir!
Shadow, you blasted devil incarnate! Today's the day I'll have my revenge from 50 years ago!
Shadow... I'm counting on you...
I know, Professor.
I am the ultimate life form, born to punish mankind...
I will no longer hesitate!
Get out of my way.
Shadow! I can't let you do as you like any longer!
Shadow... The devil who destroyed the ARK!
Today's the day I'll have my revenge after all these years!!
How absurd...
It is my duty to judge mankind.
The foolish humans do not deserve to live, and I will give them the punishment personally.
What did you say!
Sonic, if you are going to support humanity as well... I won't show any more mercy!
Finally... All Chaos Emeralds are in my hands!
Shadow... What do you plan to do with them!?
My name is Shadow the Hedgehog...
An emissary from the skies, born to judge the foolish humanity!
With this wondrous power, I will lead the ugly world to its demise!
And that is my answer...
Now I have one more Chaos Emerald left!
How dare you oppose us...!
I thought I told you, I don't intend to obey anyone!
I'll collect the Chaos Emeralds with my own ways, and find the truth with my own hands!
Hmph, and what can the likes of you possibly do...
Very well.
You are going to regret how foolish it is an action to oppose your master...
While on the brink of death!
Finally... All Chaos Emeralds are in my hands!
Gah... You... Don't think this is over yet...
We, the Black Arms, shall never perish!
My name is Shadow the Hedgehog...
The ultimate life form that stands above all!
I'll use this wondrous power to control the whole world!
And that is my answer...

[SUB] Shadow the Hedgehog - Semi-Dark - Japanese Cutscenes - Duration: 7:13.
All these various images appearing in my mind...
And those black corps who know me...
What exactly happened in my past...?
Wha--...!?
Shadow... What are you troubled about...?
You!
Look.
That's the...?
Space Colony ARK, 50 years ago...
ARK...?
50 years ago...!?
Is that!?
!!
Now, remember those humans' actions you suffered from.
And how foolish and ugly creatures they are!
This is the mantis platoon Heavy Dog. Target on the run and a girl have been sighted!
Now initiating elimination of both persons!
What!?
Please... Shadow...
They will go as far as to take away the life of one of their kind for their own benefit...
Humans are foolish creatures...
You ugly humans! Get out of my sight!!
Mr. President, we will prepare an escape boat shortly. Please hurry.
Once again...
I was not able to protect this country...
There's still time! It's not over yet!
We will make sure to eradicate those Black Corps using all of GUN's efforts!
Please think about the nation's restoration after that, Mr. President.
Yeah... You're right.
Never giving up until the end, no matter the circumstances...
That's what they taught me.
Now, please hurry.
Yeah.
I'll be sure to give you hell!
How awfully stubborn of them...
Shadow, after them! Chase them down and give them despair!
I have 5 Chaos Emeralds now.
Shadow, the promised time will arrive before long...
Collect all Chaos Emeralds and bring them over to me as soon as possible.
When I have two more, will I really find my answers...?
And all of me...
Shadow...
It seems that some fussy rat broke into my hideout.
Head to our star, the Black Comet, and dispose of that fool immediately!
The Black Comet...!?
Shadow! I can't let you do as you like any longer!
Shadow... the devil who destroyed the ARK!
Today's the day I'll have my revenge after all these years!!
How absurd...
It is my duty to judge mankind.
The foolish humans do not deserve to live, and I will give them the punishment personally.
What did you say!
Sonic, if you are going to support humanity as well... I won't show any more mercy!
Finally... All Chaos Emeralds are in my hands!
Shadow...
Why... Why are you siding with them?
My name is Shadow the Hedgehog...
The strongest soldier, chosen by the ruler of darkness, Black Doom!
Together with him, using this wondrous power, I shall dye the ugly world in black!
And that is my answer...
Shadow!
Doctor!?
Kindly hand the 6 Emeralds you possess over to me!
I lightened my grip on you until today in order to let you collect those Emeralds...
Now, give them straight to me.
No.
Huh!?
Those Emeralds are the only clue to finding my answers...
I can't hand them over!
Then I shall take them from you by force!
Shadow! Prepare yourself!!
Finally... All Chaos Emeralds are in my hands!
Y-You... Do you intend to oppose me...!?
My name is Shadow the Hedgehog...
I'll only believe in myself, and live for myself!
I won't abide by anyone anymore...
And that is my answer!
Wh-Wha--!?
Goodbye, Doctor!
Nooooo!!

Top 5 Scary Fairy Tale Dark Origins - Duration: 7:51.
We are all too familiar with the whimsical fairy tales brought to us by beloved books
and even the likes of Disney -- we know that Cinderella found her true love thanks to a
fairy god mother and magical slipper.
The Little Mermaid gave up her tail to walk amongst humans -- arm in arm with the man
she loves -- and Peter Pan -- well he never grew up.
But, what the fairy tales didn't tell us was of there VERY dark and depressing origins.
And what really happened to the characters we know and love.
Before we begin -- be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I'll be
responding to a few of your comments -- Ok, let's jump into our list of the Top 5 Scary
Fairy Tale Dark Origins.
5 Snow White In 1937 disney released the magical tale of
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
As we know -- it followed a lonely princess living with her evil stepmother who becomes
jealous of Snow White's beauty.
She orders a huntsman to track her down and murder her -- but fails to do so.
Snow hides out in the forest with seven friendly dwarfs before the Queen finds Snow herself
-- disguising herself as a hag.
She gives her a poisonous apple and Snow falls into a death-like sleep until her Princess
charming wakes her with a kiss.
Now -- the original tale is far more sinister than the Disney version most of us grew up
on.
In early versions of the tale the Queen is instead Snow's biological mother -- which
makes the story far more sinister.
Although the attempted to murder is still included -- the lengths in which the stepmother
had wish to go were not -- thankfully -- A quote from the Brothers Grimm story goes as
follows -- "Take Snow White out into the woods to a remote spot, and stab her to death.
As proof that she is dead bring her lungs and her liver back to me.
I shall cook them with salt and eat them."
-- Gross -- No thank you Queenie.
Worse yet -- at the end of the story -- yes -- Snow gets her happy end -- however, when
the Queen attends her wedding, Snow White tortures her to death by putting iron shoes
into a fire before forcing the Queen to wear them and then dance until she dies.
Yikes!
4 Rapunzel As younger viewers will know -- Rapunzel was
the main character in the 2010 film and Disney's 50th animated film -- Tangled.
Rapunzel had been locked away in a tower since a baby by an old evil hag.
Her magical long hair providing the young girl with eternal youth, as the evil Gothel
uses it to keep herself young.
It's a sad story regardless -- but the original fairy tale is far more sinister still.
It draws upons and early Christian story -- set in the third century AD in Asia.
A father adored his daughters beauty her forbid her from having an suitors -- thus locking
her away in a tower.
During which time she converted to christianity -- praying so loudly her tower reverberated
through the town.
Her father was informed of his daughters actions -- dragging her before the Roman consul -- who
ordered the father to behead her or forfeit his fortune.
So -- the father beheaded her -- preferring money over family and love.
However -- shortly after the father is killed by a lightning strike -- and his daughter
became Sint Barbara, revered by the Eastern Orthodox Church.
3 Sleeping Beauty Released by Disney in 1959 -- Sleeping Beauty
follows Princess Aurora who becomes cursed by a jealous evil witch, Maleficent -- cursing
her to die on her 16th birthday.
However -- thanks to her guardian fairies -- Aurora falls into a deep sleep that can
only be ended by true love's kiss -- classic.
Now in the tale -- Sun, Moon, Talia-- the story is far darker for our dear princess.
Upon birth, Princess Talia is cursed with the threat of a splinter -- and once grown
-- pricks her fingers and falls into an eternal slumber.
During this time a King happens upons the Princesses castle and Talia's lifeless body.
The King rapes her -- impregnating her.
While she sleeps -- Talia gives birth to twins -- Sun and Moon -- and while searching for
milk one of the babies sucks out the splinter from Talia's finger -- thus waking her up.
Now -- the King returns -- which brings about an entirely new beast -- his wife.
One she learns of her husband's infidelities -- she orders for the twins to be cooked and
fed to him.
In the midst of all the chaos -- a cook hides the twins -- so the Queen instead attempts
throw Talia into the fire -- but the King intercepts her -- burning his wife alive instead.
Talia and her rapist then marry -- living happily ever after.
Well -- you can see why Disney what leave that little detail out of their animated children's
film.
2 The Little Mermaid My favourite Disney film -- The Little Mermaid,
released in 1989, follow 16 year old Ariel, a mermaid fascinated with life on land.
On one visit to the surface she encounters Eric -- whom she falls madly in love with.
So, she make a deal with a sea witch, Ursula, in order to become human for three days.
But things quickly go awry.
I mean, they always do.
Now -- the original tale was created by writer Hans Christian Andersen in 1837 -- and it
endured a far grislier journey.
In Hans's story -- Mermaids were soulless creatures -- destined to become seafoam when
they died.
Whereas humans would embark on a glorious afterlife.
The Little Mermaid didn't want to meet a grisly end -- instead wanting a human soul.
Her Grandmother told her that in order to grow a soul a mermaid must wed a man who loves
her more than anything in the world -- and if that man should not want to marry her -- she
would die.
Just as the film goes -- the little mermaid sees a handsome young man on the shore and
visits a Sea Witch to strike a deal -- she will give her legs -- but at a cost.
I quote "you must swim to land tomorrow before sunrise, and sit down on the shore
and drink it.
Your tail will then disappear, and shrink up into what mankind calls legsn, and you
will feel great pain, as if a sword were passing through you...at every step you take it will
feel as if you were treading upon sharp knives, and that the blood must flow."
-- Now -- if this torture wasn't bad enough for the mermaid -- the witch cuts off her
tongue as payment.
Now -- the prince does fall in love with the mermaid -- but sadly he loves another more.
The only way to save herself is to stab the prince to death -- but she refuses -- ending
her life.
1 Peter Pan We all know the tale of Peter Pan -- a little
boy in Neverland who just refuses to grow up.
He embarks on wonderful adventures with his lost boys -- battling his foe James Hook -- and
flying amongst the clouds and down to the oceans with the mermaids.
It's a magical story that we can all relate to -- however -- as you can expect from this
list -- the original tale is just plain fucked up.
Peter Pan was written by J.M. Barrie in 1904 -- originally as aplay -- before being adapted
into a book.
As we know -- Peter doesn't want to grow up -- but the lengths in which he'll go
to to avoid that is just alarming.
I quote, "The boys on the island vary, of course, in numbers, according as they get
killed and son on; and when they seem to be growing up, which is against the rules, Peter
thins them out; but as this time there were six of them, counting the twins as two"
Yep -- you heard it right -- as the Lost Boys age he kills them off -- because god forbid
anyone grows up in Neverland.
Well -- there we have it!
What did you guys think!
What fairy tale origin scared you the most?
Leave us all your thoughts and feelings in the comments down below -- but before I go
I just want to respond to a few comments from one of our last videos -- Top 5 Scary and
Haunted Museums You Need To Pray Before Entering.
ZenGaijin said "Soooo, nobody gonna talk about her Velma sweater?"
-- well apparently you all did -- considering this got 14 likes.
Yup -- I didn't realize this made me look like Velma from Scooby Doo -- but I'm definitely
embracing the comparison.
Jennifer K Luckett said "Lucy which one of these museums would you visit?
Myself I would visit Torquay museum, it seems like the most haunted."
-- I'd be right there with you Jennifer -- next time I'm home in Devon I'll definitely
be checking it out -- so keeps your eyes peeled for pics on my social media.
In response to my invitation to spend a day in my oversized hoodie -- The Real Thanos
said "Lucy McPhee choose me and you shall wield the power of my gauntlet" -- Done
and done.
Give me the power -- I would snap my fingers until there is nothing left but dust.
And on that note -- I think it's time we bring this list to a close.
If you haven't already be sure to give this video a big thumbs up -- subscribe -- and
turn on notifications so you never miss another scary vid.
And for those who entered for a chance to win the complete fiction collection of HP
Lovecraft -- I will be announcing the winner next week -- so stay tuned for another Top
5 Scary Vid -- and until next time, see ya later!

A Plague Tale : Innocence | Ep2 – Dark Ages | PS4 - Duration: 3:23.
From the start, we asked ourselves:
what period do we rarely see explored in videogames,
or has room for us to express it a little differently?
We arrived at the Middle Ages.
Our heroes encounter different aspects of this period.
At the beginning they have this comfortable, noble life.
Beyond that, they encounter the realities of a battle-scarred country,
poor settlements of the 14th century,
the Inquisition, and its hierarchical structure.
Regarding the environments, we wanted to stay as true to the period as possible,
relying on one of our strengths as a French studio based in Bordeaux.
Every day we walk the streets here, of which many were built during the Middle Ages.
We wanted to do justice to this unique architecture with winding streets,
rickety houses, things patched up, and built with very simple materials.
Typically, these villages are portrayed as being made up of only
half-timbered houses with jutting corbels.
It's the classic thing you see everywhere.
We tried to break this convention.
There are plenty of examples of villages in the Bordeaux area that date back to the Middle Ages,
without having only these 'agreed upon' archetypes.
We did a lot of research
to really bring the flavor, the feel of that time,
in architecture and the rendering of the universe.
For example, we often came back to this notion that at the time the streets were extremely dirty,
Dirt was everywhere, the notions of hygiene were not at all those of today.
In terms of lighting, we worked quite a lot with master paintings
to try to emulate natural light as much as possible.
We avoid the impression of having
an unnatural spotlight somewhere that illuminates the scene.
For example, we keep in-game sources of light very raw,
in the style of a Vermeer or Bruegel painting.
Claude Lorrain is a painter of the 16th century.
There is a color, a tone in his paintings,
with slightly orange and soft skies that bring
a romanticism to the image, a sweetness, something a little dreamlike.
We wanted to have that in our game.
What I love about what we've done so far
Is that it's actually very close to the initial vision,
what we wanted in terms of mood and feelings
We speak to the type of player who wants to live this kind of experience.
As a result, we have enormous freedom.
It gives us the opportunity to make a game even closer to what we think
some players search for and love today.
Of course, we also made a game that we would have liked to play ourselves.

The Dark Heart of Katamari Damacy - Duration: 8:51.
Katamari Damacy is the friendly face of video game power fantasies.
It's a game where you roll up a bunch of stuff to make a weird ball thing bigger that
simultaneously makes you feel utterly unstoppable, and it does so while avoiding the trappings
many games fall into when attempting to elevate the player to some kind of god-like status.
It realises that immediately placing players in a position of power can trivialise an experience;
Katamari starts you off small, unable to roll up much more than pins and stamps and gradually
sees you progress through obstacles of all shapes and sizes until you are, quite literally,
on top of the world.
As Malindy Hetfeld writes for Eurogamer, it's the fulfilment of a power fantasy that requires
no violence at all.
In a word, it's wholesome; proving that games can give us that pure feeling of satisfaction
without sacrificing the childlike wonder its aesthetic invokes.
So why can't I shake the feeling that, the more I read into the game, it isn't the
wholly feel-good experience it might seem from the outside?
It's likely to do with the notion that, while the game is definitely a different take
on the idea of a power fantasy, as much as it makes us feel good, it arguably draws on
some of our less desirable traits as human beings as well—perhaps deliberately so.
See, there may not be the gore or explosions we typically associate with being a violent
powerhouse in a video game, but there is a violent undercurrent to Katamari as I see
it, however abstract.
Its shifts in tone are violent—part of its charm, a good deal of its humour lies in the
fact that it presents itself as this outburst of colour and joy which gives way to sheer
darkness as the king mercilessly berates you at the first sign of failure, or when what
you may see as impressive is shrugged off as not good enough.
It's hilarious to hear this infectiously chirpy, aggressively upbeat soundtrack ring
dissonantly against the blood-curdling screams of the hapless individuals you casually roll
into your pile of rubbish like it was nothing.
The challenge of Katamari is not only to consume as much as you can, but to navigate those
objects, those animals, those people bigger than you; these things not only stop you in
your tracks, forcing you to reorient yourself with the game's somewhat unwieldy controls,
but they knock objects off of your Katamari, costing you valuable progress, all while the
offending party remains totally unphased.
In that sense, perhaps there's an aspect of spite to the way Katamari handles progression.
We've all been pushed around in our lives in one way or another and what Katamari represents
is a means of pushing back; your former prodding tormentors, halting your progression and literally
belittling your achievements, now cower in fear at the sheer size of this absolute mad
lad coming to merge them with the cosmos.
What's more, if you could still call it a fantasy, the game's narrative makes clear
that your desire to overcome is born of frustration.
The king messes up, and subsequently, nonchalantly tasks you with cleaning up the mess of the
entire universe, with controls that remind you you're not inhabiting the weird ball
thing directly but instead the tiny little guy trying desperately to wrangle said weird
ball thing in the face of overwhelmingly large obstacles, all in order to get the job done
that, need I remind you, was not your fault to begin with, whose somewhat challenging
time limits only exist because… the king can't be bothered waiting around for you
to roll up the entire goddamn world.
Far from being a joyous, childlike escape from reality, the game is hitting us dead
in the face with a borderline existential crisis.
It's the reality of daily life for most people—the feeling that you're working
immensely hard under systems that exist to belittle you, just to get through the day.
Just like we've all been pushed around, we've all dealt with unpleasant bosses who
task you with impossible feats then try to act all pally which in turn just ends up distracting
you from what you need to do, and then when you do get it done the reward is… more of
the same.
It's like what Keith Stuart in The Guardian describes as the function of video games not
to elevate us to the level of superheroes, but simply to give us a control that's perhaps
lacking in our day-to-day lives.
Series creator Keita Takahashi has stated that he intended Katamari, with the never-ending
desire of your soon-to-be star to devour more and more meaningless objects, to be a comment
on consumerist culture and what's interesting is how that idea can be extended to the ways
in which the systems driving it – the need to work a terrible job, the financial struggles
people face, etc. - instil a sense of powerlessness in us—the ball never stops rolling, and
we're never allowed to stop pushing it.
It might sound like I'm reaching here but after reading and watching interviews with
the man behind the game, the idea of outward joy and exuberance belying a more cynical
core gradually begins to sound less and less alien.
Takahashi seems to exist at the perimeter of video games.
He jokes about the fact that he doesn't have many friends in the industry and that
the people he worked with on past releases were angered by his methods.
Katamari's origins suggest a genuine desire to change the world of games for the better,
expanding our horizons in terms of what they can say, while future projects seem to bear
a great frustration, a more jaded desire to burn it all down, stemming from his perceived
lack of success in that endeavour.
While clearly driven, he seems to lack the fervour or confidence we associate with quote-unquote
auteurs, that they could only be doing the precise thing they're doing at any given
moment.
Takahashi seemed to fall into video game development and has a tendency to wander.
By his own admission he is disillusioned, but you get the feeling that said malaise
might extend to whatever profit-driven industry he found himself a part of.
I guess it's possible to read Takahashi as the Prince, desperately excited to create
something new by throwing together whatever he can—fashioning something as bright as
a star out of the rubbish we throw on the ground, only for his hopes to be dashed as
the big publisher deems it…
OK, something they could release but nothing world-altering; always wanting to be bigger
no matter the cost to the original vision.
It's a fairly harrowing outlook for a game with one of the most energising intros ever
committed to a video game.
It's strange, though.
I went into this piece fully intending to write about how joyous a game Katamari is;
how the game barges in with its colours and upbeat soundtrack and wacky sense of humour
to show that you can have that power fantasy driven by something other than violent machismo.
As I delved further into my thoughts on the game and the background of its development,
however, it became clear the catharsis of that fantasy being fulfilled might not stem
from such positive emotions.
As the credits roll we're told "the blue planet spins so peacefully, but the sadness
never goes away."
But despite all that, I can't deny that, well, Katamari makes me unbearably happy every
time I play it.
It does act as an escape of sorts; it's as pure a set of mechanics as one can get.
If the overarching narrative is one of thankless toil in service of fixing someone else's
mess, it's a narrative shrouded in such glorious oddity that its darker themes fall
to the wayside in favour of the beautifully simple story told by its gameplay—of controlling
a thing to make said thing bigger, which in turn allows you to overcome previously unconquerable things.
That said, I see it as a testament to the artistry of Takahashi's work that, whether
intended or otherwise and despite appearing so simplistic and cartoonish, there's this
much to read into it.
There's an argument to be made that the chaos of Katamari represents the chaos of
Takahashi's life as an artist as he sees it, and the frustration that he can't quite
control any aspect of his existence.
In other words, he's human, with all the humour, joy, anxiety, anger and irrationality
that entails, and his work, however strange, reflects that.
Rather than merely allowing us to feel power without violence, then, perhaps Katamari makes
a much more universal point about the nature of games and art in general—that rather
than shying away from it, it's often when we lean into absurdity, with all the messiness
and potential darkness that comes with it, that our stories end up tapping more directly
into the heart of what it means to be human.
Well, I didn't expect this piece to go the places it went but I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless!

GOP RELEASED THIS DARK ANNOUNCEMENT!! ROBERT MUELLER ,HILLARY PRIS0N TIME - Duration: 16:41.
GOP RELEASED THIS DARK ANNOUNCEMENT!!
ROBERT MUELLER ,HILLARY PRIS0N TIME
joining us now House Minority Whip Steve Scalise along with California Republican congressman
Devin Nunez Devin let me start with you we now see a pattern that is
pre-dawn raids 27 guys 17 vehicles tactical armor for lying to Congress and
what about all the Democrats that lied to Congress I think you can name you have your
own list yeah seems it's a little overkill but we're gonna have plenty
of people that actually the DOJ already knows about will actually have
to make it more public if they fail to investigate this but I understand today from the acting
Attorney General's
comments that he's anxious to get these inquiries and he'll take them seriously so I'm happy
to hear about that so we'll be glad to oblige them with plenty of names
of people who have lied to Congress okay so if we have equal
justice an equal application of our laws then all those people should get the stone man
afford cone treatment if it's fair right equally applied well not only that
but this is also remember all of this dates back to Clinton opposition
research that was fed into the FBI to
start this investigation and so you know we're get we have a whole bunch of work to do so
Republicans working with the Intelligence Committee Judiciary Committee
and the Oversight Committee we're going to continue our
investigation into these abuses and we're going to call people to come and testify to
us we're not sure that they will but we don't have subpoena power anymore
but I just want to make sure everyone understands these people are
not going to get away with this without us at least trying to hold them accountable well
Lindsey Graham is promised in the Senate that he's going
to continue Steve Scalise as this overkill and where's the FBI director the uestion lying
to Congress deserves
27 individuals pre-dawn guns raid into their home for lying to Congress is that
appropriate in your view well I mean if you look at this whole thing it was about collusion
with Russia between
whether words the Trump campaign or the Hillary Clinton campaign we've seen in Devin
Nunez when he was chairman his committee did thorough work to look into
this there was no iota of collusion if you look at all the leaks that have come out of
the FBI which by the way why aren't they sending some of those agents that
are out there doing all this
overkill to find out where all the leaks are coming from and in a dress accountability
within the FBI where is
that collusion it would have leaked out there is no collusion if there's any doubt about
that what Hillary Clinton did with her emails that were subpoenaed deleted
bleach pit hammers SIM cards removed is there any doubt that
substructure is there any doubt that when she put that server in a mom-and-pop shop
bathroom closet that had top-secret classified information is that
a violation of the Espionage Act and as FISA was the FISA courts lie to
repeatedly and they purposely withheld information gave false unverified information to those
judges the FBI has never given us real good answers
on that and it doesn't pass the
smell test Sean when you're doing that kind of damage to a server not only you're banging
it with a hammer they're thrown against the wall they're bleaching
it what are they trying to hide and who's going to look into that
but that at the heart of the smaller charges yeah yeah Michael Cohen admitting that he
lied before Congress Chairman Nunez do you see any difference here
is it or is it worse in the case of Hillary because I think it's worse I
think it's I think on the by supports worse they're not even close look no one
should ever lie to Congress and look everybody has their day in court so I'm not going to
prejudge anyone if someone
says they're innocent they have a right to to a fair trial but the obvious one that you
pointed out Sean is the Clinton
server disappearing that wasn't onlyobstructing a congressional investigation that was obstructing
an investigation on that DOJ look we have James Comey leaking classified
information you know that's never been investigated we can go on and on with the list and that's
what we're going to
get to the bottom of with or without the Democrats but it won't ever seem to get there we seemed
you know we have all the evidence on our side and we never get to that
mall touches you know their wall Russian lies fed to the American people
all right last quick question if you don't mind so do you agree with me
steve scalise that in fact the president he's not stopped fighting on the wall
he's probably gonna go the national emergency route if in fact Congress cannot do its job
in three weeks I agree Sean and look President Trump called
Pelosi's Bluff she said she won't negotiate on the wall until the
government's open well the government's back open she has yet to put a dollar figure literally
one dollar against five point seven billion dollars that our experts
who risk their lives to protect the border say it's going to take it's
about border security it's time for Pelosi to say what she's willing to support or is
she for open borders all right guys thank you both for being with us
all right joining us now former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie out with
a brand new memoir about his time in New Jersey politics in the 2016 campaign let me finish
Trump the Kushner's Bannen New
Jersey and the power of in-your-face politics available on amazon.com wherever books are
sold governor good to see it how are you it's rampion
Sean um before I get to all the political stuff you know do we really
need 27 FBI agents tactical gear guns drawn pre-dawn raid 17 vehicles including armored
vehicles to arrest a guy that has no weapons in his house a guy
that is charged with lying to Congress no and and listen you know that
I've defended Muller I'm over the course of time over the last you know 18 months or so
be defend this man I can't I can't defend this no he won't defend Andrew Weissman
with his record and and Jeanne
ray and every appointment is a democratic I can't defend Andrew Weiss when I wouldn't
defend Andrew Iseman but what I'm telling you is that this is a problem
for Bob mower why couldn't our public identify well how does he hire
Clinton Foundation attorneys listen and part of it by the way by the way part of this is
almost every one of those people came from inside the Justice Department part
of that problem is that there was no turnover when Jeff Sessions was
Attorney General to get new people into those positions House aintry Weitzman still the
head of the fraud section of DOJ for the entire time that Jeff Sessions
is the Attorney General executives to jail for a year overturn
Fifth Circuit right now your loss in the Supreme Court tens of thousands of Enron accounting
employees lost their horse and and and so to me why
was he still in the Justice Department to begin with how does the
Attorney General of the United States permit him to be in the Justice
Department and on the Raymond this was mother's choice to put Weissman and Jeannie
ray on this team I understand all Democratic donors John I understand
I'm not defending that and I'm not defending the raid the raid is wrong there is no reason
if he did not have weapons in that house there is no reason to
go with tactical units with flak jackets on with automatic weapons and
all the rest there's no reason for it except to intimidate that's the only reason to do
it and that's and that is an absolute inappropriate use of prosecutorial
authority you talk about that the president thought if general

A Plague Tale: Innocence - Ep2 – Dark Ages - Duration: 3:26.
[MUSIC STARTS]
From the start, we asked ourselves:
what period do we rarely see explored in videogames,
or has room for us to express it a little differently?
We arrived at the Middle Ages.
Our heroes encounter different aspects of this period.
At the beginning they have this comfortable, noble life.
Beyond that, they encounter the realities of a battle-scarred country,
poor settlements of the 14th century,
the Inquisition, and its hierarchical structure.
Regarding the environments, we wanted to stay as true to the period as possible,
relying on one of our strengths as a French studio based in Bordeaux.
Every day we walk the streets here, of which many were built during the Middle Ages.
We wanted to do justice to this unique architecture with winding streets,
rickety houses, things patched up, and built with very simple materials.
Typically, these villages are portrayed as being made up of only
half-timbered houses with jutting corbels.
It's the classic thing you see everywhere.
We tried to break this convention.
There are plenty of examples of villages in the Bordeaux area that date back to the Middle Ages,
without having only these 'agreed upon' archetypes.
We did a lot of research
to really bring the flavor, the feel of that time,
in architecture and the rendering of the universe.
For example, we often came back to this notion that at the time the streets were extremely dirty,
Dirt was everywhere, the notions of hygiene were not at all those of today.
In terms of lighting, we worked quite a lot with master paintings
to try to emulate natural light as much as possible.
We avoid the impression of having
an unnatural spotlight somewhere that illuminates the scene.
For example, we keep in-game sources of light very raw,
in the style of a Vermeer or Bruegel painting.
Claude Lorrain is a painter of the 16th century.
There is a color, a tone in his paintings,
with slightly orange and soft skies that bring
a romanticism to the image, a sweetness, something a little dreamlike.
We wanted to have that in our game.
What I love about what we've done so far
Is that it's actually very close to the initial vision,
what we wanted in terms of mood and feelings
We speak to the type of player who wants to live this kind of experience.
As a result, we have enormous freedom.
It gives us the opportunity to make a game even closer to what we think
some players search for and love today.
Of course, we also made a game that we would have liked to play ourselves.

Why You Should Never Visit The Dark Web - Duration: 10:09.

As we've said in previous shows, not everyone using the dark web is doing something criminal.
In some ways this corner of the Internet gets a bad name, and research has shown that many
of the darkest things supposedly happening in the dark web have been exaggerated.
That said, it's well known that many people, mainly the younger generation, go there to
buy illegal substances that they may have otherwise procured on the street.
It's also well known that people with strange inclinations visit this place to chat with
others that share their fascination with what we might call the more eccentric aspects of
life.
If you've seen our shows on the dark web, you'll know that finding it is not hard
at all.
The question is, should you go there?
That's what we'll discuss in this episode of the Infographics Show, Why You Should Avoid
the Dark Web.
Let's just give you a quick recap on what the dark web is as you may not have seen all
our other shows on this place.
It's said that only around 10 percent of the Internet is the Internet as we know it,
meaning the part we can all access.
Much of the rest of the Internet we call the Deep Web, which is just the part of the World
Wide Web that is not indexed by search engines such as Google.
It's a common mistake to think the dark web and the deep web are the same.
The dark web is just a small part of the deep web.
Many people give the example of an iceberg.
The bit at the top that we can see is the Internet as we know it.
The main part that lies under the water is the deep web and the dark web is just a very
small part at the very bottom of the iceberg.
This is naturally where people go when they don't want to be found.
That might be because they have a store there selling the aforementioned illegal substances,
or it might just be because they are living in a country that has very oppressive laws
on speech.
In the dark web you'll find sites that end with .onion.
These websites are not accessible using your regular browser.
But you can easily download the Tor browser and before you can say where am I you'll
be in the dark web.
Here you should have complete anonymity.
Ok, so the question is, should you go there?
Well, firstly you should know that the dark web of course is of interest to authorities.
Illegal things happen there, so we can expect authorities to keep an eye on the place.
You should also know that the Tor browser has vulnerabilities.
With this in mind, you might ask just how safe is your anonymity?
We might also ask if there are other reasons why you should not visit the dark web, reasons
more related to you finding things you probably shouldn't have found.
With the latter concern in mind, we looked at Reddit and Quora posts containing people
talking about negative experiences on the dark web.
We can't vouch for the honesty of the posts, but indeed there are people out there who
said they came across things in the dark web they wish they would have never seen.
One person on Quora wrote, "I browsed dark web for well over half a year before a horrible
experience made me quit."
That experience sounded very nasty, and it's not something we want to recount here.
Let's just say that it involved a video of someone being hurt.
Now, others say this kind of thing is very unusual even for the dark web, but we must
remember that it does happen because an Australian man was put in prison for making such videos.
Unless you are sick to the bone, this is not the kind of thing one wants to see in life,
so we can say that one reason not to go into the dark web might be because out of curiosity
you see something you might not ever be able to forget.
Another person who used the dark web said he looked at forums where he found what he
called weird stuff.
By that he meant people talking about hurting others, discussing gore, and talking about
depraved things such as wanting to eat people.
And yet another person said he witnessed what he called a very creepy video.
He said there were about 50 people watching this video, again relating to someone being
hurt – in this case not very hurt but still not something most people would want to see
– and many of the folks watching this video were making what he called "obscene comments."
Another person on the same thread said he was just hitting random links when he came
across a cooking section, only the cooking involved humans.
This wasn't a video, but a 'How To' kind of section.
"I was traumatized for a few days," he said, because he just read the comments.
So, unless you want to be traumatized, we suggest you might give the dark web a wide
berth.
We are quite sure you have to go looking for this kind of stuff, however, so perhaps if
you have to go there just be careful what you search for.
As one website that gives advice on the dark web tells us, it's easy to "CLICK SUSPICIOUS
LINKS OR PARTAKE IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY."
That website says some of these links are deceptive, and before you know you are virtually
living in the realms of the demented.
We looked at another website called DarkWebNews.com.
It told us that many people access the dark web without using the Tor browser.
It said this can be done using websites such as "Tor2Web" and "Onion2web".
The problem here is that you are exposed, and this puts you at risk of being hacked.
Other than that, many people do use the Tor browser but they don't use a VPN.
The problem here is that Tor has been cracked a few times and if that happens your URL can
be seen.
Ok, so you only went to that disgusting site out of sheer curiosity, but still, you went
there and it might not look for you when your local newspaper has a headline that goes something
along the lines, "Boy, 17, Caught Downloading Images of XXXX on Dark Web."
We are also told you should not enable scripts on .onion sites, which is what many people
do.
When you do this, we are told, you leave yourself open to hacking or you might just find a Trojan
Horse has gotten into your computer.
You might also accidentally download files from the dark web, and this is a big no no.
Still, people might just do this by accident.
But the big thing to remember, according to that same expert, is don't think that what
you are doing on the dark web is legal.
That person says, "If you're viewing a site on the dark web for any reason from actually
desiring to acquire those products or services to just wanting to quench your thirst for
knowledge on the subject, know that you may be held liable for what you come across."
With that in mind, have people been arrested for using the dark web?
Well, in 2018 the U.S. media reported that authorities had made a huge bust of people
selling illegal things in the dark web.
Engadget tells us those authorities, "announced the first-ever national-level undercover bust
of dark web outfits selling drugs, weapons and other contraband."
Now, perhaps you had visited some of those sites that got taken down.
Again, it was just out of curiosity, but if they could find the owners of the sites what's
to bet you could have been exposed.
It's just not something you want to happen to you, and it might not matter that you went
to those sites innocently.
Other websites tell us that the FBI and police from all over the world are regularly inside
the dark web.
Sometimes they go undercover and manage to find the address where parcels are delivered.
The Indian media tells us that arrests were made in 2017 by the Mumbai Anti Narcotics
Cell when some boys had ordered LSD from the dark web.
Arrests have also been made of the sellers.
In one such case in the UK a bunch of students at Manchester University were arrested after
making a fortune on the dark web selling illegal substances.
The Guardian wrote, "Thee gang, who compared themselves to the Breaking Bad character,
Walter White, included undergraduates studying pharmacology, computer science, petrochemical
engineering, geology and marketing."
In another case, in 2016, a young British doctor was arrested for buying drugs and sentenced
to over four years in prison.
The press tells us that in the UK from 2017 to 2018 there were 1,210 drug seizures relating
to the dark web, so it might not be as safe as you think scoring your gear there.
Police in the UK said buying your stuff on the dark web carries more risk than buying
in the streets, because if your purchase came from abroad you could be said to be an importer.
The police also added that mail services in the UK are getting very good at spotting packages
containing such substances.
Ok, so let's say you have no intention of reading or viewing gruesome content or procuring
a dozen MDMA pills or some such stimulant.
But then we might ask why you are in the dark web in the first place.
Perhaps you have a legitimate reason in that you want to discuss a sensitive issue about
yourself, or you are a whistleblower or an at-risk activist.
In that case, go head and get down with the dark web.
But if you don't have those sorts of reasons one could argue that using the dark web is
not worth the risk.
Motherboard wrote in 2016 that authorities have developed very sophisticated ways of
finding people in the dark web.
As we said, sometimes they are undercover.
The FBI have been known to sell weapons on the dark web, and who knows where they might
be lurking.
Motherboard also tells us that the FBI set up one hack wherein when a user clicked on
a link that was supposed to take them to an unseemly illegal image, that person's IP
address became known to the FBI.
What if you has just clicked on that link by accident?
What if your curiosity just got the better of you?
"As part of the operation, the FBI harvested over 1000 US based IP addresses, and Europol
generated 3,229 of its own cases," wrote Motherboard.
That article tells us police units in many countries now have dedicated task forces concentrating
on the dark web, so you might ask if you really want to be there.
Maybe you went there already and did something illegal.
Well, we are told that when police make an arrest of a vendor or someone doing something
illegal, they often collect IP addresses of people who had connected with that person
or persons.
Most people are only really interested in the Dark Web for one reason: they want to
know if their personal information is up for sale to the highest bidder!
But trying to navigate the murky digital backwaters of the internet can be dangerous- luckily
for you Dashlane is here to help, with their incredible dark web scan available at just

Traumatic Memories | Dark Souls 2 (part 30) - Duration: 17:24.
I came here...
...because it seemed to be the only logical path for me to take
It was the only 'door' that I remembered
That I could open
Is this a side area, or...?
I had assumed I was doing main story stuff
Really glad I went and spent all my souls
That's not the kind of thing I want to be carrying around here
Fucking dragons
I assume it's the dragons
Shooting fucking lightning and shit at me
(vocal sigh) Don't want that!
"Okay, so now he buffed himself"
"So you need to..."
Oh, one second
"You need to collect some items to make his health go down"
"And then..."
"...then his defense in x5..."
Not even particularly interested
In fighting you guys
Maybe later
"No, the king is 100% optional"
Okay
So then
I assume you meant the last boss, the king
Is it the queen that's the final boss, then?
The king didn't seem like...
...too much of a-
Holy fuck
Get out of my way!
I'm trying to roll here, not going anywhere
That's a big ol' fucking dragon
Is what that is
Do you guys mind?
Get the hell out of here
Big dragon to fight
Holy shit he's big
(sigh of resignation)
Alright
Oh
Hmm
Oh
So he doesn't want to fight
AWESOME
Because I have no desire to fight you either
So this is how I continue the game??
Go... into a dead giant's brain
And travel back in time into his memory...?
Seem a like a weird...
...weird way to continue
Towards the end of the game
"One cannot reside within memory for long"
"Giant butthole ahead"
Thank you
Giant-
Whoa, god
Is this...
Is this the first boss I fought?
He seems pretty similar
Maybe all giants are this size
Racist!
Or...size-ist, I guess
He doesn't hit soft, I'll give him that
"He has special item to ascend the throne"
"The giants attacked because Vendrick was a dick"
Yeah
He was a pretty big dick to me, so...
...I can see that
Though this dude's being a pretty big dick too, so...
Got a big ol' soul
It had warned me that there would be a time limit here
I haven't been here since the first of the game
"Can go and kill the final boss now"
"Vendrick is the guy walking around"
"The guy before him was just his bodyguard"
Okay
We'll see how many of these things I can remember
"Like a dream!"
Holy shit!
That was unnecessary
You look like a giant
Because you have no face
(laughs) A backstab, really!?
That's funny
Backstabbing a giant
Like a fucking pro
Really?
Three of you?
Uh oh
I didn't realize I couldn't back up anymore
Come on-
Aww
You're fucking dead
(tired sigh)
Okay
What are you doing?
Holy fuck
Could you not!?
Oh, windoerful
I'm on fire
Fuck sakes
"At the end, don't fight the big-ass giant"
"Just grab the souls and run"
"When you get the souls"
"Examine the giant again to leave the memory
Yeah, or I could just bonfire home too
Holy shit
That's a big ol' giant
(laughs)
Just completely ignoring the giant thing
With the club trying to murder me
Just like, "What's this over here?"
(laughs)
How the *hell* are you in here now?
Didn't see that coming!
(laughs)
What was crazy easy
Cool
Following you
That's a good idea
(laughs) Oh, I thought you died
I was like, "Well, that didn't last very long"
Wow
This would have been hard to explain in text
Oh Christ
(laughs)
Ohhh Jesus shit!
Nice
Bunch of giants down here
For no reason
"Ring of Giants+1"
RING of giants...
That wasn't the Giant Soul, though
I assume we're just killing these guys for sport...?
NOPE
What are ya doing?
Get back in there
That's a nice crossbow, by the way
Yeah, whatever
Would you swing already!?
Jesus Christ!
I'm trying to dodge him
He just keeps walking after me
Okay
"Forgotten Key, Soul of a Giant"
Sweet
(laughs)
Cool
It actually kind of feels like a real boss fight now
Maybe he'll pay attention to me
When I walk through the fucking door
Do I have the right ring on...?
Yes I do
Okay
Last time I tried that I got my head cut off, so...
Okay, 112 damage
That's good
That's like a tough boss
Like a big armored dude
Or a guy with a tough hide
Not doing fucking 40 a hit anymore
I can handle this
Something else I was considering doing
Was bonfiring [Mytha] The Baneful Queen
By [using a Bonfire] Ascetic
So I could kill her
And get the Covetous Silver [Serpent] Ring+2
But it's a little late in the game now, anyway
Ohh, he wants to fucking kill me
Swing, so I can fucking heal
Fucker!
Yeah, he saw me
Saw me dying
Trying to heal
I have full health, too
I thought, "When did I Human Effigy?"
But it was to summon you
I just have to try and not let him hit me
Because when he gets one good hit in
He usually gets another one right after
And he doesn't waste it
And he sure as hell doesn't want me healing
Yeah, that big ol' fucking 290° swing
Get it out of ya!
Fuck
(low whistle)
Cut my frigging cape off
Aww, you asshole!
That was not nice at all!
Just throws a thing at me and I'm cursed!?
Rude!
I'm not doing nearly as much damage
(laughs) As I thought I'd be doing
Ahhh...
A test of patience
The ultimate Dark Souls metaphor
Fucker just curses me because he feels like it
No idea how that second swing missed me
Ooh!
"Hug his butt to win"
Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been doing
Because he starts his swing
At the right side of his butt
And he ends it at the left side of his butt
So... you have a blind spot!
And it's right where you poop
This isn't so bad
As long as I don't get cocky
I could two-hand
But it changes...
...how fast I swing
And I don't want that
I don't want anything changing about my attack pattern
Because this is what I'm comfortable with
And changing your attack patterns
Is a good way to die
That's what happened fighting The Pursuer
Trying to do it the way that the game wanted me to
It just wasn't working
So I just fought him head-on
Aww, fucker!
Oohoo!
Okay!
Glad I got that last dodge in!
I didn't expect him to swing a third time
Fucking deadly
I find the bosses get a little more aggressive
As they get lower on health
I don't know if that's an illusion
Or if that actually is programmed in
But...
...I seem to see more of the deadly attacks...
...quicker, and more aggressively...
...the lower they are on health
Shit like that
I didn't have any of those problems earlier in the fight
Nope!
Fuck
In swings like in a full circle
Fuck off!
Just go somewhere
Eugh!
(shaky sigh)
Fucking finally
I'm stressed out
Ugh
Almost 100,000 souls
Achievement unlocked, to kill Vendrick
Go fuck yourself
Cool
I'm okay with getting 100,000 souls as a prize
