Nintendo decides to drop their creators' program

Image
Nintendo decides to drop their  creator s'  program   Yeah, it took them nearly five years to finally understand how streaming works.  Since the N64, I felt the Big N  wa s completely out of touch.   And, this was the reason Square left N for greener lands.  When YT came along, they wanted to put tight restrictions on people putting gameplay on  videos .  Every decision they made would be seen as being behind the times.  The creators’ program was no different and people stopped playing and streaming games.   From Variety.com   (( The Creators Program allowed YouTubers to use copyrighted Nintendo materials in their videos, but it also forced creators to split their advertising revenues with the company. Anyone who wasn’t part of the program risked having their videos flagged and/or  demonetized. ))   Yeah, the Wii U would have been a bigger hit if they let normal people stream their first party ...

Time Travel in Red Dead Redemption 2

Time Travel in Red Dead  Redemption  2   Wow, this is a very cool side mission and pretty daring  considering  that RDR universe is more of a serious series than GTA.  The beat around the bush with the time travel thing, but I love that they  reveal that the baby is the  same person you encountered earlier in the game.  Given the main character is just a cowboy, he just  shrugs  it off.  I love these little  mysteries .     BTW, it also connects to the cult in the GTA 4-5 universe.

Nothing But Trouble: About that Penis Nose

Nothing But Trouble: About that Penis Nose I was watching this video and this popped in my mind. Here's a misconception about the Nothing But Trouble movie. Yes, Judge Alvin 'J.P' Valkenheiser does have a penis nose, but only in a couple of scenes. They slipped it in, pun intended, without people noticing as a joke. People think Aykroyd's character always has the penis nose. It is strongly implied it is in Chevy Chase's character's mind. From IMDB , (( If you look closely at  Dan Aykroyd 's make-up when he is eating the hot dog and  Chevy Chase   makes a funny face, the tip of his nose is in the shape of a penis. )) So, the production had to film Aykroyd without the penis nose and switch it in for one second. Clever. BTW, the dinner is scene is one of the strangest scenes ever and clearly went on longer, but was shortened. Here's the kicker. The penis nose shows up at the end of the movie too and gets a close up Check it out...

Blade (That Japanese School Girl Rap group) (AKA Bang Wa Cherry)

Blade (That Japanese School Girl Rap group) (AKA Bang Wa Cherry) When looking through my keyword searches, the “ blade 2 Japanese girls rapping ” always comes up. I did a post years ago and I am too lazy to look it up. I remember that strange scene in the first Blade movie where two grown Japanese women are rapping to a bunch of dudes with sunglasses. The movie never makes it clear if the girls or the men in the audience are vampires. However, a couple of the Japanese men look up and recognize Blade . I just found the scene interesting. Anyway, the name of the song is “Chin Chin” and the name of the group is Bang Wa Cherry. Someone in comments of the above YT video said this about the song. (( Sino Deutsch 3 years ago I showed a Japanese girl this song, and she freaked out, embarrassed and shocked.... ...apparently the lyrics are very dirty about school girls, their private parts, and old men so.... naturally i made it my ringtone  )) Well, Blade is an R-rated movie and ...

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Part 1 of 2)

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (Part 1 of 2)   Okay, this new reboot vexes me.  On one hand, the storyline and certain character development is a something that carries over in each episode.  On the other hand,  the show had some design and character problems.  I decided to watch the entire series and I feel the first season is a bit uneven.  It isn’t the total SJW mess that  people predicted and it isn’t the shit that is  Thundercats  Roar.     It is loosely based on the old cartoon series from the 80s of the same name.  This remake does have some major issues with it tonal shifts in the same manner as the My Little Pony.  Sure, the setting is the same (Etheria) and the characters have the same names as the earlier series.  Whereas the  older series wanted to show us a  strong  female character, this series is more interested in showing us  diversity  and...

Chipotle Thingy

First off, why are you even going to Chipotle?     Joking aside, this is pretty messed up.   When I was first writing this story, it  seems  to lean toward the black kids being mistreated with racism.  Now, it looks like the young guy was, in fact, dine-n-dash dude.  They tried to change the narrative toward their side and used racism as a media tool.     Chipotle few off the handle and fired the manager without doing some research.  After people started digging into this dude’s history, they discovered he was an asshole.   From NBC News,  (( "Based on our review, we have offered our manager her job back," Chipotle said in a statement. "While our normal protocol was not followed serving these customers, we publicly apologize to our manager for being put in this position. We will work to continue to ensure that we support a respectful workplace for our employees and our customers alike...

Kotaku, come on, man.

Kotaku, come on, man. I am a huge fan of YongYea and his YT channel. I have to give Kotaku credit for some of its reporting, but sometimes it sides and refuses to report stories. Make sure to check out the discussion between Jason Schreier and YongYea . For the most part, the first few minutes are okay, but Jason gets more and more annoying. There does seem to be this growing trend of hating YouTubers and normal Twitch streamers. I feel a little mad with the interaction between Jason Shreier. Shreier just comes across as pompous and rude toward YongYea. I believe YY is one of the fairest and straight to the point YouTuber out there. I hate to say this, but Jason, go f' yourself.  Keep in mind this was the same guy that defended mico-transaction in gaming and attack critics of said practices .  And, you have to give Jason credit for being a good researcher and writer, but then he makes crazy statements like this... Here's the problem with this statement.  W...
