Y244, it is the last segment now, Nikipindicyalala Salama. Nikipindicyalala Salama, we are going to talk about matches that bring you happy moments and emotional moments too. But, take care of that a lot because it's very, very key. Very good afternoon, a very, a day where, as an offender, really confident, I don't know what is making them confident in everything that is happening today, but let's understand why they are confident. Joining me here in studio, for the fan zone, for the first time this year, I think, is Joe Saino, right? Yes, yes, first time this year. First time this year. Ah, big one for you. And then I've got some guitar also, first time this year that you are doing the touchlet. What has been your highlight of the week? Well, us, well, that is the weekend of the matches, sportsman, you have to, you have to understand something. The team that was put out, was not supposed to be defeated by Shotfield United. It was supposed to win, to win. They let down the manager, okay? The team that was put out again is Liverpool, by Tottenham. They were not ready to win that game. They were not ready to get to that point. The formation system of Tottenham, that's why they lost. Okay, and we're going to touch on it much later. Ask them, my brother, have you seen how they're walking around? They ask no fun. You can see they're holding the leg man. I'm glad they have done a survey and they have been like... I've seen almost like 20 fans out there with a ton of jerseys, but I understand them. It's been a weird season and they are now on a very good run. Six games in a row, they haven't lost. It's going to be tough for them, we're going to get ready. And then you have this to like, to blue people walking around, with this jersey of Manchester City. People are not even around for the last two, three months all of a sudden. A month, 60 months, a month, 60 a month to win the title, which is a lie. Let me tell you something. After this weekend, they're only top for two days. Let them enjoy this last, the last how many hours? Maybe two to three hours. Two to three hours. We're getting back there. Big game, we'll be talking about that game. Just a sneak peek of what we're going to talk about. It's our main game here tonight. We can just go ahead and finish with that game. How do you see Manchester United lining up tonight? Well, definitely, what we need to understand is Arsenal are going to beef up their defence. Yes. Because Arsenal, to them picking up a point again in this game would be quite important. You know, 31 points right now isn't that bad for them, but they can do much better. So I'm looking at, first of all, Cavani has to start. He has to start. What, what, Martial, what, no, Cavani has to start. We need to give the ball to him. He can hold up play, he can still do the conversions. Okay, he can bring in the likes of Fernandez, the likes of Pogba, but we need Cavani to start. That's one too. This, that makeshift partnership of Maguire and Transverde has to stop. Okay? Baili has to start today, or Lindelow has to start. De Gea has to be at his top game. That mistake that led to that first goal, we cannot forget some few things. Okay, so, because he's going to start today, they're not going to start hand us on. So he needs to be top of his game, because Arsenal are coming in, we're going to, we're going to Emirates, they're going to make sure first of all, they shut up shop, then they embarrass United. Because if they win today, they go up to fifth position, 33. And then, during the week after Manchester United lost to Sheffield United, Antonio Martial was subjected to some rations in that. They said, there's a kid that goes to Manchester United, the title. Do you believe that? Wow. After that, he lost to Sheffield. No, that's a heavy statement when you say that there's goes to Manchester United, a title. First of all, at the beginning of the season, no one would have said that Manchester United are going to win the title. And I don't know where this conversation has come from, and I guess it's not about Manchester United fans. It has to be Reivo fans who have been getting on that joy of Manchester United winning, that England's narrowed something. But for Antonio Martial, yes, I understand he's on a downward spiral at this moment. He's not really a number nine, and I guess that's why we're seeing such bad form on his side. He works best when he's playing on the left side. And I guess that's the situation with him right now, that he just didn't get at the end of the ball most of the time. And his body language at times looks as if he's not really happy in that position. I understand the frustration from the fans, that's why we maybe expect a very gutsy call from Ole Gunas Walsh at tonight. And then the big one is Arsenal just signed Martin Odukar from Real Sociedad is coming in as a midfielder. For them, they are lined up today. Can you predict? Well, if they're going to include him, if he's going to start, which I think it's a doubt, he will be their national number 10. He will be coming off of those right balls that they like so, Aubameyang need, likes of Saka, Pepe being on the left again, he performed very well in midweek. I don't see Arsenal changing so much of that starting lineup. It worked really well, especially Saka, the ball that he was getting, Ballerin hitting that right side. He looked at Pepe, you know, rejuvenation again, from obviously having a very bad season. I don't think they'll change so much today. I think I would stick with the same squad, if I was Mika Lateta. Well, maybe for me, I guess the only place maybe that he could think around maybe is on the left-back position. Keir and Tini didn't start in the last match. Cedric has been used on that side and he's a right footer, so maybe I would expect a change. But the ballerin is going to start, I don't know, because Cedric has been playing on both sides for Martin Odukar. I don't think he's going to start, but in any case, he'll be drawn into the deep and it might be a guy like Emile Smith who is going to suffer there. In that midfield.  What do you expect from the game? I expect a really tough game here. And for Manchester United, they know their job, because I mean losing to Sheffield in United in itself was a big disaster. A big disaster. They need to recover. Yeah, they need, we believe it was a blip on the road and they're going to get back to normal business. Knowing that Manchester United still hasn't beaten Mika Lateta, I guess it's going to... It's just one match. I know it is, but you look at the... You look at the top six managers, only one box is left to Tick and that's Mika Lateta. I can't even believe you're saying Arsenal are top six. Top six teams. The third red and right, two, three, four, we're hanging out with Joe Sainer and Sabi Gittai here.  Arsenal is going to be a big game and everything is going to happen there. There's the major one that also happened during the week. Tottenham losing to Liverpool. And you had even the rumours that Sergio Rea had a very dressing room bus up with some of the players. Tell me, first off, what happened was quite simple. Yeah, Liverpool played against Tottenham's weakness. If you think about it, Tottenham had set up a five-man defence. We've even marked that you're going to the far left also. So if you're going to bomb the two wing-backs forward and remain with the three behind, and yet there's not enough cover for the likes of Firmino when he does the creation, okay? There will always be a problem there because you're going to do a three-on-three and you expect to play on the counter-attack against Liverpool. Remember, they have very passive wing-backs. They will still go back. The thing there will be was Tottenham being a fluke in the early stages of the season. Because everyone... No, no, no, no, no. Tottenham is a very cover-up. Tottenham is a solid team. I believe it's a solid team. I don't think they were fluke for the first season. The thing is it just didn't work for them on 1,000... 1,000 nights, yes. No. That was Friday. 1,000 nights. It didn't work for them. Sergio Rea had atro-mastros first half. And hence his substitution and the buster.  It has to be Harry Kane. It has to be Harry Kane. You see now, that's who's in there. So now if you look and you need another number nine. Yes. Ben will play number nine. Yes. Ivan, José Mourinho, now go into the free market and get Diego Costa. Yes. Come fill in those boots. Yes. Because you need an out-and-out number nine. So he's not a number nine. You see, and you need someone who's going to roll up the game and distribute to all these first players, even the likes of Lucas Moura. Yeah. And now Tottenham sustain themselves because reports were from that game that Harry Kane is injured, both legs. And they might be off for a very lengthy season. Will they manage? It's going to be tough. But the issue that strikes me hard is looking at Harry Kane. Every time this year, he seems to be picking these injuries. And I mean, I know I've been talking about him. He loves American football. And he now feels like the Super Bowl is near. And you're going to see him maybe in Tampa. Yeah. Going to be seeing the Super Bowl. We haven't seen him every time he has a Super Bowl and don't play this plane. Yes. Either way, I guess there's an issue with his uncles and that's something that should be looked at, too. Yeah. But for Spass, I think, with a backup who can play in there, they still got Carlos Vinicius in that team. Yes. We've seen him score some goals in the FA Cup against Mourinho. And against Mourinho. But... Especially that disgraceous first goal. Yeah. He was blasting the net for who now? Yeah. I guess it's going to be tough for them because you look at that combination between Son and Kane. It's been working for them. Maybe over 70% of the goals have come from them. It's going to be a big call from Jose Mourinho. But still taking on that game between themselves and Liverpool. Yeah. I don't know why many people are bashing the players, but I guess we should even be questioning Jose Mourinho and Mourinho and Mourinho. And it was really sad for me to listen to him post-game, saying that the players caused them the game while they self-made some very bad decisions. Yeah, that's a shame. And again, maybe... Could it be time to question Hugo Louriz as a goalkeeper? OK, for a long time, the placement for Hugo Louriz. Yeah. That's going to be tricky. I wanted to put you on the deep end for a team that you hate. We don't think they need a centre-back. Who? Liverpool. Because... I hate to be weird about that. I just disliked my affiliation with Manchester, but yes, they do need a centre-back. They always do this makeshift partnership. And they don't seem to work, not always. Again, I start on them... Maybe it did work, because start on them or not, at their top game. But if they meet a Manchester City, a Manchester City, if they meet a Western that is so far away, a Western that is so near the back and just needs one goal and then defends the home time, they need a strong centre-back. I'm not saying that clubs should go for an £80m centre-back right now. There's no money, obviously, with what has been happening, Covid and all, transfer budgets are a bit low. But if you can get a seasoned defender, who has been in the Premier League, whether it's someone who can come and directly impact the game, nothing will be very important, but I'm not saying they're doing another £80m defender, not not. If I was him, again, I would go to Manchester City and take Sehonsu. Why not? Actually, when you look at what's happening on the table, it's actually saying that it could be... Mustafa, you will be headed to Liverpool. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, Walter Pwina. Yes. Walter Pwina from the bench. Okay. Let's also go with Manchester City, back on top of the table, one game in hand, and they are playing good football. Do you see them going all the way with this title, when it's half way through the season? I guess, yes, yes. 90% of the football fans are expecting Manchester City to win this. I'm the 10%. Walter Pwina from the bench. Yeah, I understand. When you look at their form in the last six games or so, they have won all, and you look at their defensive record, I guess they have considered the least number of goals in the frame with that team, and that partnership between John Stones and Ruben Diaz is looking good. And a man like Gundogan in the middle, they don't look as if they are missing Kevin De Bruyne, they are also playing as if they are not playing with the number nine in there, because Gabriel Jesus has not been playing much, and they still got Raheem Staling in that team. They look like a real team that could win the championship. It's a big one for them. What do you say, Joe, when you look at the way Manchester City is playing at the moment? I mean, I would be dismissive to say that they are not playing good. They are. I would be dismissive to say that they are not going to give a rightful challenge to the Premier League. I would be, but I have to agree that not only the strength in the team, but the camaraderie that they have in terms of the formation in terms of the setup, in terms of the discipline, if you look at the last two games that the good one has played, if you look at his position, if you look at the map where he is affected, the midfield, he is again, we can still go forward. He can play in the middle very well. He can come and offer defensive assistance to the likes of defenders. But, more importantly, it's the instillment from Pep to this player that you guys are great. If Liverpool had a blip last season, you guys need to take back what's rightfully yours. That's not something that players need. Moreover, I'm not saying that the good one is not doing it, but Pep has more experience in getting players into that game of mentality. Well, today, again, if you look at the fixtures, they're going to start with Sheffield United. That's the thing. They will win against Sheffield United. I can guarantee you that. They will have a good number of goals. They will. The same team that was a difficult proposition for Manchester United is the same team that is going to lose to Manchester City. So, what are we looking at? We're looking at now picking up points. You need to wait for one person to slip up points. Because if you look behind you, there's Leicester. There's Liverpool coming back. There is West Ham doing something Thank you. Ask the best team in London. It has been played. It is West Ham. Cristopal is almost coming second. The time train on Y244 with the Geosigner and Sadmi Gittai. And we're still talking about football here on the fun zone. Let's talk about two or three transfers that have been happening during this month. This is a month of transfers and Jesse Lingard is now leaving to West Ham on loan. I expected that really because he's not been involved in many matches. I guess he's not played one. This season for Manchester United and I was looking at the Western situation when they were talking about him leaving to the Hammers. There was two loan deals in that team with Dawson which just came in and Sadmi and Ramah. They had to complete one as a common move and they went for Sadmi and Ramah for a completed deal of around 15 million and then Jesse Lingard now is at West Ham. I really don't know because they have many men in their who started ahead of him. Played I think very well under David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal. Will you miss him as a Manchester United fan? As a fan, yes. But in performance I don't think he was needed. He was supposed to have requirements. But what he offered West Ham is that next level pace. We're talking about pace in the team. West Ham generally have not been known as a very first team. They have Antonio Valenci, Mikhail Antonio who is one of the first players in the Premier League. If you look at other players nothing in here are first players but what Lingard can offer is that bursting pace. Especially from the middle, first balls forward. I can see more contributions to the strikers because you've seen West Ham have been scoring most of their goals using. We look at the West Ham team in their midfield and attacking going forward. They've got the likes of Gerald Boyne, they've got Pablo Forna also looking at the money this time and also you've got a guy like Saïd Ben Ramal supporting Mikhail Antonio up front. Do you see Jesse Lingard really getting to that team? I see him getting to that team and the coach decides to change the system from an out position back to a counter attacking team. Is there any way with the two defensive midfielders like Declan Rice in that team do you see any means that David Moise is going to disrupt that in the middle? The only way we can disrupt it, to be honest is if we change this information from the narrative 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 that's the only way Lingard can play. So in the middle for example you've got Thomas which has been a huge signing for them and you've got Declan Rice who is the other one or who are you dropping for Jesse Lingard? Well I would put Jesse Lingard to play with those two that you've just said why this is important is because of what Declan Rice and other guy can do in terms of covering but you have a gap and this is 4-3-3, you have a gap between the midfielders and the strikers who is going to cover that midfield and at the same time have the pace even to join that attack to make a 4-man attack. You have to look at it from that point of account attack. I'm not saying he's going to fit immediately to that score now unless the manager changes that's where I see it. And the way you have seen Western coming up on top very well that is the transfers now my time is not good now and I don't want to leave this conversation without talking about Frank Lampard. Yeah. What went wrong for you? In your opinion first because we have like 5 opinions but I don't know At the beginning for me on Monday morning it was a huge surprise for me to realize that he's been gone and I expected maybe they would have given him the trust when Viola came after that and said there is nothing called a process in game of football it's all about results and looking at the signings they made in the beginning of the season 320 million spent on 6 or so players and there's been a certain sector of the journalists who have been saying that maybe only one who is Ben Chiloro's part of the deals that Frank Lampard wanted there or just club signings getting such amount of players and high caliber players into the team while he just done well with some academy players was a personal challenge for him If the results are incoming then we know Chelsea from and from of it. He now joins the list of rich managers who have left the game under the hands of Rob Manablan Just tell us why What do you think went wrong for him? He thought about what went wrong for him It's what's wrong with that board with Chelsea He's the first thing they took Lampard and they couldn't even make a transfer because they were under a burn What did he do? He used whatever you gave him and he got results Maybe he told the board he's a thing I want to do certain transfers Some will be done by the club because you guys are looking at merchandise, sales and all that and then some I really want because they will improve the team To general those players between September, October, November, December, January 5 months without a precision is unfortunate It's impossible They could have judged them next season after a full season to invest for any successful person need to invest So they did the investment They were not patient for the victory Manchester United was patient with Ole Gunnar Solcher when you look at the performance of some of those managers and their performance and their time Frank Lampard comes really down in the pecking order the mail that was written by Chelsea Roman Abramovich following that sacking There was a clear intent that this man had got the fail from the board For them saying that Frank Lampard has left the team as a meat table club without any success or any clear path to success, it was a big statement from the club But I don't know why Joe is speaking on the board while it is worked in previous times when the soccer manager the other manager comes in straight What is the title? Well now, the interim managers We are talking about interim Di Matteo interim The Israeli manager for what is his name? Adam Grant's interim title Di Matteo Champions League interim Look at Solari Was Solari a fool? Was he a fool? He got a full time So what I am saying is it hasn't worked for him I know I am saying this hasn't happened If you look at Liverpool When he got the job Did he finish in the top four the first season? Yes, he didn't Then what did he do the next season He told the manager this is what I want to do this is the players I want to get Can I get them? Then can we work on next season When Moreno returned to Chelsea for the first time It's a two-horse race with a little donkey But next season, where the donkey will become bigger That's the idea You come first and for Moreno but it was really unfortunate because he got a team first of all that he couldn't make any transfers So we had to do what he did at Derby with a small budget and try to get some results He got the results Now he has the budget You can't expect him immediately to just have a name part You need to give him that whole season You can actually see what happened to Manchester United in the span of one year In the span of one year you can look at the way Ole Gunnar's soldier changed From 14th to 13th From 14th to now they are fighting for Let's go ahead and talk about some of the games that will be coming out this afternoon We've got Everton playing home to Newcastle and then Crystal Palace will also be home to Wolves Manchester City will be playing at home to Sheffield United What's the advantage out of Wolves is a game that will be one key game to watch there because now it's a relegation battle between those two During the night Arsenal vs Manchester United then we'll finish off this match with Southampton vs Aston Villa Very little time to go Joe Which game will you keeping your eye on away from the Arsenal vs Manchester United Well Manchester Sheffield United because I just want to see them score the goals To be honest as a fan right now you have to be very objective about it Also the West Brom Fulham game because of now that relegation battle and then I think the late night game is going to be entertaining Two really attacking teams with the likes of Jack Grealish Danny Ains These games want to play for the Euros for England Yes in terms of their performances But Arsenal Arsenal vs Manchester United Arsenal will get a good game but they will not win the game That's all I can say Now there is an early kick of game between Everton and Newcastle That is a game worth sitting down to watch It is and for Steve Bruceman it's going to be tough for him because you look at it he will be sucked I don't think so I don't think Mike Ashley is on that trajectory of sucking him sitting pretty tight at 16 They could remain the Prem and I think that's what matters for Mike Ashley Just remain the Prem It doesn't matter whether you have your phone struggles it doesn't matter whether the fans are on your neck for him maybe we could resign and I've heard many telling him that maybe it's time that he should leave the club now that Raphael Benitez is free of a job but you can't give Raphael the job back Come on Raphael may go to Celtic He has been linked to that job too but it's going to be a good match here to watch especially Pickford after the stink I had in the last match against Leicester City I didn't expect him to start but he has been given the confidence by Carlo Ancelotti so we'll be watching keenly to see what happens It was also entertaining between Christopher Palace and Wolves and Joe It's going to be a very good game How again the Christopher Palace manager has managed to keep this team intact again in London whereby there are so many other so called big giants and they have achieved what they need to achieve where Hudson needs to be given his fair dues As for Nuno Espirito Santos is the Portuguese influence that was done He's it It might be You look at Wolves right now they are really lacking a number 9 striker all humans have been missing Costa is free, they should go for Costa Maybe They are missing also Jota Jota also left the team no matter what you could make a case for him also For Christopher Palace I had some rumours that for Roy Hudson I understand there is going to be a huge rebuild in that team and maybe you can see the likes of Wilfred Zaha being freed up We've already seen some of the players being linked away, the likes of Andrew Stampton and the likes I don't think it's going to be interesting but for sure I expect some very low blocks in this one Wolves might get the win but maybe through one Pedronet One Pedronet and then Joe also made we saw Wolves coming with that bro One other one was West Brom and Fulham it is West Brom, other days lost by 5 nails to Manchester City He needs to recover, he needs the three points Scott Parkour the Fulham he has also shown that he can play some good football I think this is a West Brom win Why? Because obviously yes they lost 5 nails to Manchester City but if you see the previous performances that they are putting to rescue because this is a rescue mission this has nothing to do with trophy ranking this is a rescue mission so Adilis Fulham in table 3 points are very important and that's something they will look of too I'm not saying the team that Scott Parkour is going to put out is going to be bad it's just that I believe West Brom need this game more than Fulham You know I was looking at the statistics for West Brom and I realized they have considered a massive 48 goals this season Halfway through this season That's the worst record you've seen from them and for some other days he has openly talked about the defensive issues and he has brought in a couple of signings I believe he signed by Dian from Galatasaray this week or from Galatasaray and for Fulham I guess they are really performing well and actually when you look at the table I guess Fulham for me is the team that scripts that zone we've got some lovely players we're looking at Ademola Lukman, Ruben Noflas-Tig they are really doing a very good football in there and whenever you see Scott Parkour with Tatum Neck the luck is coming is going to win that a big game that will be coming now let's finish off this one quickly Southampton playing home to Aston Villa at St. Mary's tonight Southampton, Aston Villa is also a key one I think all these teams are looking to finish at the top half of the table and this one also is a cracker I have Aston Villa for win here I think Aston Villa really dented Southampton's sort of push towards getting the three points in the midweek so Aston Villa again have been on this route it's a team, only Godke is not performing as the number nine that we want him to perform to be perfectly honest he's not if you see the chances that he was given if you give some of the color moves on the same chances he would make them count and that again is an opinion and some he is busy trying to he may be streaming with advice but here for me I think Aston Villa will win I don't know what happened to Raphas because this team has won only one game in seven matches they are lacking two defenders of course Kyle Walker Peters and Ryan Petron maybe they will be missing from this game Aston Villa with Jack really they are looking so good it could be a game where you think Aston Villa is going to win but Hollywood Kings is not a good shaker let me present that for another team no I'm not saying it's not a good shaker I'm just saying his conversion if you give the same the same opportunities to color moves on he is going to convert them that's all I'm saying that is all we finish the touch line here on the Y254 it is a big but it has been finally on the fans on where the Josain and the Sub-Mikita thanks guys for coming the touch line it's up till next Saturday and let's say a big thank you to everyone who has managed to make this broadcast a success here today the touch line says goodbye but be ready for rock tour in just just a little bit of time


It's hard to escape the omnipresent force that is Fortnite, a game built around survival. This title has become the de facto gaming experience for a young generation, as players have latched onto Fortnite's Battle Royale mode with eagerness. If there's one thing that makes Fortnite stand out from all the other similar games on the market, it's the game's beautifully exaggerated art style. One can easily identify the world of Fortnite simply thanks to its angular props and unashamedly colourful world design. But things were not always so. Back when the game was first put into development, Fortnite was envisioned as a dark claustrophobic game with a horror inspired art style. The play experience was meant to look and feel a lot less fun. This is the story of how Fortnite found its art style and how the game's art director, Peter Ellis, learned to let go of his preconceived ideas of what a game should look like in order to build something truly unique. Peter Ellis wanted to make cool sci-fi art. This was what had driven him to join epic games. As a teenager, he discovered the joys of 3D modelling artwork on computers while studying architecture, and he had built a career around his passion for making cool stuff for various games, including the Gears of War series. Now, with a small team, he found himself charged with the important responsibility of making a survival horror game named Fortnite. The pitch for the game sounded bleak and harsh to say the least. Fortnite was described internally as a survival horror game that makes third person action built around social fortification and a dynamic day-night cycle. Scavenged by day, survive at night. Its Minecraft meets the walking dead in an HBO style world where loners die quickly and extinction is just a heartbeat away. Social survival, work together or die alone. Based on this description, Peter and his team agreed that the game ought to have a dark, oppressive art style to match the scary premise that they were working towards. They began experimenting with gritty, misty, shadowy concept art where horrifying monsters existed just around the next corner and where the player was meant to feel on edge and creeped out at all times. The designs looked appealing and Peter was eager to keep pushing forward. This game style was developing nicely and so the team moved from the concept stage of designing initial art to creating models and textures that made the game world a reality. The very first screenshot of the game shows off this dark world with a nondescript grey building that is bathed in fog as is a large suspiciously familiar tentacle creature hiding among the clouds in the distance. Looking back, Peter likes to joke that he invented the monster from Stranger Things season 2 years before it was debuted to the public. The creature design was similarly inspired by this drab, grey, brown coloured game. The monsters were meant to be genuinely terrifying with an unnerving design that calls to mind the typical horror games that Peter and his team were drawing inspiration from at the time. There was hesitation, even at this early stage, that the premise might be a little worn out by this point. The year was 2011 and zombie horror games were hardly in short supply so some of the team members expressed concern that Fortnite might be a little too cliché in its design. For now, Peter put these concerns out of his mind. The artwork that his team was producing looked good and fit with the kind of work he'd done in games before so he was eager to continue exploring these themes. But then, the realities of the project made Peter rethink things. Fortnite was intended as a game where the player could break down and use the environment to their advantage. They needed to be able to swing a sledgehammer into a wall with pieces crumbling away and wires wooden concrete flying out in all directions in order to sell this idea of dynamic demolition. This simply wasn't possible with such a realistic art style. Modelling the outside of walls and buildings was one thing but in order to make them out of fully deconstructable materials that could be broken apart it wouldn't be possible to stick to such a detailed gritty style. The concerns of the team began to grow larger. Epic Games had play data from their time with the Gears of War series that suggested that players would gravitate towards brighter, more colourful play environments rather than staying immersed in shadows. This went against the whole point of Fortnite as it then appeared. This all seemed like a big mistake. Despite still being part way through development on the game, the team went back and started experimenting with a new batch of concept art. One piece caught Peter's eye, a stylised world that lacked rigid edges and straight lines where everything curved in an exaggerated yet playful art style. Most notably, this image featured a bright blue sky with puffy white clouds which was completely removed from what the team had been doing up to this point. But it worked and it looked inviting and engaging and so Peter wanted to see more. The first step to trying to incorporate this into the game was to take existing objects and models that had been built in the dark, gritty art style and bending them so that they looked more entertaining. The team also worked in Photoshop to brighten their existing textures, making a game that was full of contrast and colour where everything had previously been shades of grey and brown. Peter wasn't too happy with having to do this. It felt wrong to take an asset that had been designed to look one way and warp it until it fit in a different style. Nevertheless, he couldn't argue with the results. He was just going to have to let his preconceived notions go as he experimented with different approaches. Along with this, the team also had to simplify and rework their monster designs. What was once a series of terrifying nightmare creatures now became a lot cuter as the team worked on more family friendly designs for their ghouls and zombies. It was decided that these baddies shouldn't feel genuinely scary or off-putting but instead should give off an air of mischief and cheeky charm. Fortnite was finally announced to the public but the team at Epic Games were unwilling to set a solid release schedule in place just yet. They still had a lot of work to do on modifying their games art design. This would be finished when it was finished, and no sooner. Besides, they kept getting slowed down by other projects. At one point, the team needed to make some art for Game Informer magazine, and this meant a delay to their schedule. They also worked on a few pieces for Apple. These additional side projects were in the service of helping to raise Fortnite's profile, but they also meant that the core creative team had more work on their plate. The most sensible thing to do was to prepare for an eventual release without a set time frame in mind. This turned out to be for the best, as the team had a whole new set of problems that they were about to face. It turned out that not everything fitted neatly into their new, curvaceous art style. The problem with Fortnite's new appearance was that it was sometimes possible to see the cracks in the world. Curvy, slanted props looked great by themselves, but they didn't always mesh together. Peter's team discovered this as they attempted to stack multiple crates on top of each other, only to discover that the models would hang awkwardly in the air without supporting each other, thanks to their unorthodox shape. It turns out that in the real world, sometimes there's a good reason for objects to be straight and level in their design. A similar problem affected the weapons in the game. The stylised look meant that many guns appeared cool at first glance, but they were difficult to aim with. Overly chunky and bendy designs meant that the player couldn't always tell which way a gun's barrel was supposed to be pointing, and this made for a frustrating experience. Peter found a similar problem with his character designs. He wanted everything in this game to fit with the same angular, overly stylised appearance. He was hoping for consistency within all aspects of this world. But blocky, pointy, exaggerated characters didn't always look right. After months of working to make these characters fit the game world, Peter discovered that airbrushing out a few pointy cheekbones went a long way to making the characters look human and relatable. And so, Peter reluctantly learned an important lesson about art design. He couldn't force everything in Fortnite to obey the same rigid design aesthetic, because in real life, not everything matches up perfectly. He had set the rules for the game's visual style, and now he needed to allow his artists to break these rules in order to make more appealing characters, and props that were functional as well as pretty. And so, unshackled yet again, the artists began experimenting with different iterations of the same basic designs. They came up with characters that looked like they fitted into the game world while displaying a lot of personality. To their credit, everyone involved worked hard to create a variety of diverse character models for players to choose from. It was important to the team that the players could see themselves reflected in the world of Fortnite, and this meant creating characters of differing genders, ethnicities, and body sizes. The result was eye-catching and inventive. Fortnite had a truly engaging game world, with compelling characters that quickly caught the eye of players around the world. When the battle royale game boom began to take off, Fortnite's initial survival gameplay was hastily modified, as the developers created a special node that copied similar games like Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. The game took off, and before long, Fortnite became a fully fledged cultural sensation. This was all thanks to Peter Ellis and his hard-working team of artists. While they'd initially started off with a fairly uninspired game design, they'd had the courage to veer in a different direction and make something that stood out. The moral of the story is that sometimes your first idea won't be your best one. It's easy to get excited when you start on a project that matters to you. Often, you can end up charging ahead, ignoring the warning signs that you might be headed in the wrong direction. Don't be afraid to second-guess yourself, to experiment and try new things. You never know when true inspiration may strike. Sometimes, the best way to find your niche is to allow yourself to fail. As you keep working, you will eventually find your own voice and create something you can be proud of.


Hey guys, this is Kevin. Today I'm going to show you step-by-step how to convert Epson Eco tank from regular ink to sublimation ink. You can see it already have original Epson ink in it and today we're going to substitute a regular ink with a sublimation ink. Here's what we need. We need a regular school driver. It's a Philip number two school driver, pretty popular so I bet you will have one at home. And then you need a really sharp knife or like a box cutter or like a razor blade. And then you need a really fast syringe. You can have a 10 mil syringe but I suggest 50 mil. I'm going to put the link to the syringe to the link above so if you need one you can get from there. If you have your old used Eco tank bottle don't throw it away just save it but however if you don't have it don't worry it's not critical. I'll show you to refill with and without the original bottle and of course you'll need the ink. I'm going to put a link to the sublimation ink above and of course pair of gloves and some paper towel and also you'll need a big jar of either beaker or something to catch the with the ink. Open the printer you're going to find that the printer is locked. So move the printer to the right and then turn this wheel counter clockwise. Do it three times and then you can free the printer.   The dampers are pretty easy to remove. Just pull the tab in and lift it up. Now we need to modify our syringe a little bit and then you can do with this with a 10 mil or 50 mil it doesn't matter. Just use a knife just cut a little piece out from the from the tip. We're going to insert this tip into the damper and this tip going to push the seal into the damper. So we don't want the tip to be completely flat. It doesn't matter how little it is as long as it is not perfect flat. That's fine and also don't cut it too much because later on we're going to attach syringe to it. Now I'm going to push the syringe in and start sucking.  We're going to put the damper on a piece of paper so it won't contaminate others. Now we're going to add the ink to the black. Let's take a closer look of the ink intake. The ink intake is divided two parts in the middle. I found out it's easier to just stick a needle and use the upper part to refill.   Do the same thing for the yellow one suck off the old ink add a sublimation ink to the tank then draw ink from the damper until the damper is full of the new ink and repeat the same thing for a magenta. Get the ink out add ink to the tank and the prime. Just show you if you see the old ink bottle for example I got the bottle from magenta not the bottle of sand and you can just pour the ink into the bottle and they use the bottle to refill it. People sell the empty unused bottle on eBay I think it's like a $28 something a set. However if you just need a bottle you can get a dirty bottle from us sometimes if we have like things we can throw away recycle you can you can see if we have them. Okay you can go to bchtechnologies.com and go to accessories. I can find it just just typing the word a dirty bottle and there it is. So you get four empty scrap bottles exactly like the new bottles you get from eBay but you have to wash it. Just text the word dirty to this number and I'll text you back with the link to the bottles. Those bottles face most of the new Epson EcoTanks 502 522 with onion problem and most of you have problem to put this piece back. If you don't put this piece back correctly it's going to make a lot of noises. First tuck those tubes in make sure they stay flat.    When the two of them are in the hole you can slide the clear tape to your left and make sure it's secured in there. See this is how it's done. Most of you don't have problem with the conversion.  I just do one head cleaning first. At the end it's gonna ask you if you want to print a nozzle check and say yes. You can see on the top of the nozzle the black nuzzles and something is screwy and on the bottom too so we need to do another cleaning. It's gonna ask you do you have a missing lines and say yes and then hit this button to continue cleaning. Do now start using the printer unless until you get a perfect nozzle check. Do up to six cleanings or till you get a good nozzle check and also every third cleaning after it's done you go back to home then then re-select a maintenance and the printer will not think you have a better printhead. Okay the second cleaning was perfect but we're not done yet. I'm going to print a 10 copies of some dark image so we can use up the old ink inside the printhead. You can see at the beginning was okay and we see the black colors and after four or five pages the black color is completely gone and when we print a nozzle check you can see the nozzle check is horrible. Don't panic this is a good thing and this means the old ink is completely gone so we'll go back to do the cleaning again. Do it until it's perfect. Every three times don't forget to go back to the home manual then calm down re-select the hot cleaning and you should do total of six times the first day with 12 hours then do six more times. I'm going to use this image that my friend sent. Here's what she said in the email. She said it's fifth day of war and it's awful. Russians bomb us all day all night. They bomb houses, kindergartens, we're in the basement and go out only for 10 to 20 minutes a day to take everything from house or take a shower. I cannot stop crying. I hope to get back to work as soon as possible. I know US and Europe support us so we select a file print then we'll go to print setting and here quality which will set to high and then go to the second tab go to more options and deselect high speed and click mirror image so if it's mirror you don't have to flip the image on in the Photoshop. I said print. Sublimation paper gonna have a coded side and the print side. If you paper is not marked the like salmon or blue color side is not coded side. You should print on the white side. When you print a sublimation the color is really dull. It's weird as the color is totally off so do not judge the color by how it prints. The reason is the color need to be heat transformed to show the true color.  Because our print have lots of blacks I'm going to use let it be the higher temperature. When you print a pure black if you do not supplement temperature is not high enough the turnout will be brownish. However if you heat it for too long it's also going to be brownish so you have to find the happy medium in the middle to make a pure black. So I select a higher temperature and let it be shorter time. For the first press I need to heat up the form on the bottom so I without put anything on and I just run or empty run so the plate will heat up the bottom. Now the bottom is heat up I will just put the fabric on the on the platform and do a quick two three seconds quick press. What this does is it remove all the wrinkles. Now it's time to add the paper and do it for real. Okay let's see this is the reason that you need check for wrinkles before you press. A different color going to supplement at different rate. So your goal is find the temperature and time combination that have all the colors sublimated.  Another thing is different material going to behave differently under different angle of light so you'll have to look at your print at all angles and there's some cases that just it's just impossible to get everything right. For example this one I ever says on the black you can see the black is spot on and to be to achieve that I did a burn off some of the magenta. Okay I hope you enjoyed this video visit us at www.bchtechnologies.com or locally at Greensboro North Carolina. Cheers!


What's the word, y'all? Welcome back to NBA Award Week. I know this is a little bit confusing to you because the title has nothing to do with awards, but you know what I just figured out? You know, for the last two days of me doing these awards, what I found out was majority of people don't care about awards nearly as much as I do. And that was actually a surprise. And I'm talking about through the statistics of how many people are watching this compared to a normal video versus with the comment section of saying, I'm low key, maybe impressed that y'all not that much of psychos like me and some of the other homies. I mean, well, there are the people that once you snub one of their favorite players, they're at your mentions or in the comment section. That's completely understandable. I mean, overall, we dropped the video on defensive player at year. We dropped the video on Ricky of the Year. People are like, oh, okay, cool. And I just expected a little bit more.  I'm not upset at all. I'm just coming into a realization. Okay, so we are back with another episode in this Award Week. And today we're talking about Coats of the Year. Coats of the Year is always an interesting one because sometimes the defaults to, who is the coach of the best team in the NBA? And sometimes the defaults to who is the team that overachieved more than anything. Last year was Tom Thibodeau with the New York Knicks and that makes sense to me. He got my vote because the Knicks were not expected to be a playoff team and there they were in the playoffs comfortably. This year, I'm getting straight to the winner. For me, Monty Williams is my coach of the year. But there are a lot of other coaches out there that deserve some recognition that if this person won, I wouldn't be upset. But I just, I feel like this is gonna, I'm gonna sell like Devin Booker right now. If we don't give Monty Williams this award, it feels like we're moving to goal post, right? Because even though the Suns just left the finals last season, they even exceeded all of the expectations for all of us. I went back and we're gonna look through some of these articles, but I went back and just went through a different articles that would be Bleach Report, whether it be this public ESPN or all the other publications where people were trying to predict the records of teams. And a lot of people expected the Phoenix Suns to be a 51 team. Now, I know that it's crazy to say that it's allowed right now because the team has exceeded that dramatically and nobody's even better than that. But a lot of people expected this team to be like a 51 team coming off them, coming out of the championship, which is wild. And here they are exceeding that above and beyond with their top three players playing minutes together for sure, but only playing like 20-ish, 30 games together this entire season. I think Monty Williams deserves it. He should be running away with it, but there are some other teams out there. Like if you want to tell me that Eric Sposier deserves to win Coach of the Year, I can't even be mad at you. He is in a similar situation than Monty Williams in the sense that his top three players, Cal LaRubin, Montabayo and Jimmy Butler, missed significant amount of time. And he was finding people like Max Drews. He was finding people like who else? Caleb Martin to come out of nowhere and give them super quality minutes. That's good coaching. If you wanted to tell me it was Eme Udoka, I think he has the most unique case of them all from a guy that seemed like he was on the hot seat. If you asked their fans a month and a half into the season, to a dude that solidified himself is like one of the better defensive coaches in the league. And the second half jump that they had, I think he should be in some consideration. You know what I'm saying? It wasn't smooth. He went through obstacles. He went over speed bumps. He went through all of that. If you wanted to put JB Biggerstaff in a conversation, I understand now the case of JB Biggerstaff is getting worse and worse every day. It's not a fault of his own because he can't keep his team healthy. But the fact that this team came into the scene and at one point they were one of the top three Cs in the entire conference when they were healthy, I think he deserves some consideration. If you wanted to say Taylor Jenkins was your guy, man, this team is 20 and two when Jameret hasn't played. That's a testament to great team building, great chemistry in the locker room and great coaching. I can't be mad at those. But Mani is still my guy. So like I said, in preparation for this video, I went back to look at some of the other predictions that we saw. So I decided to pull up one from Leachapur from Andy Bailey. I do want to go out on a limb and say, this is not as making fun of Andy Bailey or anybody that made predictions because predictions are hard to make. We're going to be wrong on predictions like 80% of the time because the NBA and sports in general, just such an unpredictable thing. And that's why we watch it. If we could accurately predict every single thing, you wouldn't watch the thing. Every NBA team's win-loss prediction after the schedule release. Of course, Andy Bailey put it together, shout out to him. And LeBron and Giannis are on the thing. So I don't know if they was trying to say that LeBron and Giannis are going to be winning their conferences. But as it sits right now, if that was your prediction, that's both wrong at the moment. The Bucks, they have a chance, but it's wrong at this exact moment. All right, here we go. In the Atlantic division, people predicted that the Brooklyn Nets were going to win 54 games. Wow. Now this video has turned into like a retrospective of the entire season because, well, this felt like an acceptable thing because nowhere in the world that we really think about James Harden decided that he did not want to play for the team or the fact that there was going to be a mandate that predicted Harry Irving for playing for 60% of the season. And here we are with them projected to be the number one team in their division for them to be a playing team locked in and the playing team right now is such a weird thing. The 76 prediction is almost spot on. Right now they have 49 wins with a couple of games left for the season. So they're probably going to end up at 50 and maybe 51, which is, it's a very, very good prediction, but it's almost, it's such a great testament to this guy right here and his ability to maintain greatness in the face of a lot of locker room stuff.  Joel and B said, I don't really care, I'm gonna go out there and be in conversation for MVP. Then eventually they make the big trade and they've been good since the trade, before the trade, all of that is true. Next, we got the Boston Celtics who at this point have exceeded these expectations. Woo, woo, woo, shout out to Boston Celtics nations. Green nation, Celtic nation sounds about right. Celtic nation, the Knicks was projected to be 10 games over 500 and boy, them boys failed. They are about 10 games under 500 and actually right before I started to record in this video they blew a game to New York. Oh, nope, not the New York anymore. Nope, nope, not New York. The Brooklyn, New York Nets. And that was a very great comeback by the Nets because they needed that one to not, they haven't secured anything, but that loss with the Atlanta Hawks win could have put the Brooklyn Nets on the bottom two of the playoffs, which means they didn't have to win two games to qualify instead of just one. So that's a big win with a couple of games left for the season. The Toronto Raptors exceeded all expectations, projected to win 34 games and they went out there and won over 46. Shout out to them. A lot of that has to do with that young boy that ain't even here because they didn't even expect the young boy out there to do his thing. You tell that I'm Team Scotty Barnes on a lot of different things. Milwaukee Bucks, this is a little bit less, this is a little bit more than what they actually won, but Brick Lopez going out his injury very early on and then went some championship fatigue. This team didn't have their foot on the gas the entire season.  That felt like the right prediction. They expected the Bulls to be a 47-win team, which is actually higher than I feel like most people who had the Bulls. I think when I turn on the TV, a lot of people on TV or read articles, listen to podcasts, a lot of people are like, oh, what the Bulls did was cool and all, bringing the Marta Rosen in and boom, boom. But like, this is probably a team that's going to be a 500 team. And guess what? We're a little bit better than that. We're a little bit better than that. All of our events that say that we're a 500 team, but the Marta Rosen has taken over so many fourth quarters that he's got his 10th game is over 500. So yeah, shout out to the Bulls. Playoff, secured. You feel me? Who we going against in that first round? Might have a cakewalk, but playoffs secured. I'm actually so very invested in the fact that the Bulls are about to make history. Like I said, did make history today. You know what? In fact, check, this is something that Statmuse probably would have tweeted. To be a six seed, but also have just one win against the top eight teams in the league has to be a statistic that has never happened in the history of basketball.  I'll take that back. It might have happened because sometimes conferences are so bad that a seven seed, six seed could be like a below 500 team. How about a team that was 10 games over 500 and had one win versus the top eight teams in the league? That has to be a statistical anomaly. And as much as I hate it as a Bulls fan, I'm low key impressed. I had, oh, let's keep the F bombs down. And how bad this team is against good teams because it's not just like, oh man, we almost got them this time. Boys are getting spanked. They don't even come to play against good team. We like the average margin of loss against these good teams is like 15 points. Ain't been in one game against a good team other than early Celtics, which don't even count because it was early Celtics where I felt confident that we might have a chance. The best it got is like earlier in the season when we thought that the Lakers were good and then we beat them two times.  So those wins mean nothing. The Pacers were projected to be a playoff team, but then things went bad. I remember early in the season, the Pacers beat the Bulls and they beat them bad. They beat them about like 30. And then Pacers fans were in the mints. It's like, aha, Kenny, yeah. Like giving me Fortnite dance gifts and stuff. And it was because a couple of days before that I had tweeted something like, the Pacers are bogus because they blew like a 15 point lead to like a bad team. And it was in the moment tweet that said the Pacers are bogus because in that moment they were bogus. If you're blowing a 15 point lead to a bad team, you're bogus, right? And then all the Pacers fans came at me. All right, Kenny, who bogus now? And I'm good with some good old smack talk. But what did I reply? Y'all gonna be rebuilding soon. And guess what y'all doing? You feel me? Poke the bell. I really enjoy your rebuild so far though. Tyrese is the homie. I'm gonna drive to Indiana next season to watch Tyrese play a couple of games. Or since I was in the same division I could just go to the UC. The Cavaliers were expected to win 25 games. 25, right now they're at 43. They have almost got 20 more wins that they were projected on the season. That is an insane amount. Development isn't always linear but it's probably safe to expect some improvement from Colin Sexton, Darius Garland. That's understated because Darius Garland turned into a demigod. And Isaac Ocaro with the addition of Evan Moby that sounds like a recipe for a notable team improvement too. However, several organizations in Eastern Conference took dramatic steps forward and they just didn't expect the Cavs to do anything. This, hey, JB Biggerstaff, you might win Coach of the Year, my boy, to be 20 games over which you were projected to win. They got the Detroit Pins at 23 and they have 23 exactly with two games left for the season. And the Cade actually played today. I was gonna say they not playing nobody but the Cade played today. Moving on to the Western Conference, the Jazz were projected to win 73. They're about five games over that. I don't have anything to say about the Utah Jazz in a moment. The Tigers were projected to win 49 and there are two games under that with two games to go so it's a possibility. Portland, Big Miss makes sense though with Dame going out with his injury and then them deciding to be like, are we gonna reset everything? It makes sense that most people were wrong. I was wrong on this one. I don't think many people expected them to hit a full, not a close to full reset by trading CG and all of that. Minnesota Timbers exceeding expectations expect to be a below 500 team. And while they're 10 games over at this moment and with two games left, O.K.C. expected, I don't know, O.K.C. expected to win 17 but they got 24 of them things. Give coach Mark Dayton, Mark, Mark Dolch, Dayton, Mark D give him close to the year exceeding the expectations as well. This was the biggest miss of course but again, this is not on Andy Bailey. I think majority of us predicted that the Lakers are gonna be good. Some of us didn't think they were gonna be championship good but some of us thought they would be good enough to at the bare minimum be a playoff team and they did not exceed in that whatsoever with the record of 31 wins on the season right now. Kind of tough. The Warriors were projected to win 50 games and with three games left for the season, this is a good prediction, man. That's a very, very good prediction. The Suns, like I said, here it is. The Suns at 50 and they are 13 games over that right now and they're losing to the Clippers so a couple of games left for the season. I would expect them to rest a little bit for these last couple of games but a 63 win team at the moment is insane. It's not a ton of teams in NBA history to do that, to win 60s or games. There's not a ton of teams in NBA history to be in the finals the year before that go out there and win 60 games and most of the teams that have done that went on to win the championship. I think the only one that didn't were the Maverick. I was listening to Zach Lowe's podcast. It was like a week ago and they were talking about this. It might have been the Mavericks the year that they lost to the, so we believe Warriors. Either way, Clippers at 43 wins. They're a little bit less than that but I guess they didn't expect Paul George to miss that much time. Paul George would likely have an MVP finalist version of himself, sure.  I'm sorry, you overshot it. That's crazy that you still overshot the Kings. Next we have the Miami Heat. I thought we were done with this conference but nope, we back to the Miami Heat who were projected to win 48 and they have exceeded that. The Atlanta Hawks have disappointed but you know what, they're playing some of their best basketball at the right time so it's okay. The Charlotte Hornets protected to be a slightly above and that's actually a good prediction with three games left. But then again, the Charlotte Hornets are just so average that maybe they end up at 500 once it's all said and done. The Wizards expected to be a 500 team. You know what, I was looking at the standings and I have not watched a lot of Watch The Wizards since Bradley Beale went down. They're a better team than I expected them to be after the Bradley Beale injury and after the poor Zingers trade. Something might be brewing over there a little bit and then we have the Orlando Magic at 17. They got 21. The last division is the Dallas Mavericks at 49 and they ended up having 50 right now with a couple games left for the season. Shout out to that man, that smiling man right there because he's a big portion of this. Here's another one. Here's another one. At this moment in time, this team is 13 games over what they were projected to win and that's still with a couple games left for the season. 13 games over projection. Like I said, if Taylor Jenkins is the guy you have as a coach of the year, I can't be mad. I'm still having Monty but I cannot be mad because this is also an insane number right there. Pelik is 42. I think this is before they knew that Zion was gonna be out for the entire season. So 42 is actually not that bad of a guess because I feel like if Zion was there, 42 is very gettable. Here go to Spurs, Greg Popovich exceeding expectations and then the Rock is exceeded. The bottom of the bottoms always exceeded. It looks like they just undervalued these teams. 17 wins, 18 wins. A lot of teams didn't do that this season. Everybody had at least 20. Gave the fans at least 20 games worth of basketball to watch and be excited about. So I don't know, Ramble video a little bit, going through a little bit of revisionist history. Monty Williams is my coach of the year and that's what this video is really about.
