Let's all stand. We're going to pray. Our Father, we thank You, Lord, for this place that You have been using as a beacon of Your light for so long. We thank You for Raul and for Sharon for their ministry, Lord. We thank You for anointing both of them and using both of them. Not just to reach the areas and cities that they've been used, but Lord of the world. Lord, thank You for the Holy Spirit. Thank You for Your Word. And thank You for bringing us here today for this next few days, Lord. I ask that You would speak to our hearts. And Lord, even as Mike just shared, I ask that we might have a global vision also, a vision for the world. And may we, Lord, by using Your Word and walking in Your Spirit, do those things that are pleasing to You. Lord, we ask that You would just inhabit this place right now in a special way. And Lord, we give You all praise for these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Turn to your brother and sister and say, God bless you. I'm glad you're here. Let's open our Bibles together to the Gospel of Mark, the Gospel of Mark chapter 1. I want to share with you out of verses 16 through 20, Mark chapter 1 verses 16 through 20. It's a blessing, privilege, it's a joy to be with you today and to be able to share a few things out of this passage. I especially will, in my conclusion, attempt to give some thoughts related to one of these verses. No, to verse 19. So beginning at verse 16, reading to verse 20, Mark chapter 1. And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, His brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men. And immediately they immediately left their nets and followed Him. When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John, His brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and went after Him. My conclusion is going to relate to verse 19. I'll just let you know in advance. But I'd like to build up something as we move into that direction. And let me begin by reading to you a few things. A few years ago, Ed Vitaleano wrote an article, Christianity Vanquished in Britain. In his composition he quoted noted sociologist Christine Davies as saying, at the end of the 19th century there were comparable levels of religiosity in Britain and the United States. The British lived in a culture in which the assumptions of Protestant Christianity were taken for granted. But this is no longer true. The Christian population has declined dramatically in England. One report stated that the proportion of the population identifying as Christian is 43%. The proportion claiming no religion is approximately 48%. So in light of this, the survey was taken with more than 14,000 people participating. And one of the questions they asked was this, how did this spiritual catastrophe occur since the end of World War II? Now this is what they stated had led to their present spiritual catastrophe and it's something that we can learn from in light of our own spiritual decline. First they said that there is a decline of believing and caring shepherds. They said that many ministers fail to defend the faith and care for the church. Second, they said there was a lack of solid Bible teaching. There was a spiritual hunger among congregations for a greater understanding of a wide range of relevant topics. But they said services that bordered on entertainment were the most disappointing. Third, they said there is an absence of a prophetic church. 75% saw the lack of a call for holiness as the explanation for the decline of Christianity in the UK. Fourth, there existed an absence of those willing to present a defense of the faith. Many said they wanted churches to emphasize the many reasons why believing in God and Christianity makes sense and would challenge a doubting society. And so the church in the United States needs to learn from what is happening in the UK. We obviously need believing in caring shepherds. We need those who teach God's Word with a prophetic sense and those who diligently equip believers for a defense of the faith. That will all be found when we are centered on systematic teaching as well as the application of God's Word in our life. You see, we're living in a day that the gospel is considered for many, as we know, irrelevant for real life. And many think that the gospel of Jesus Christ is just one message amongst many messages that are very similar. And some don't believe that the faith of Christ, the Christian faith, is all that important. There is a lack of biblical literacy, not simply in the church, but also in pulpits today. And there is a lack of literacy in the church that has caused those who even attend church to begin to think that we're all preaching a similar message. You see that today in the bumper sticker evangelism that takes place where you have those stickers that say coexist with those symbols of various religions and all. And that's not just out there. Sometimes those bumper stickers are representative of people who may even attend our own churches.  We hear that all the time, don't we? It's on the news, it's in newspapers, there are Christians we have conversations with and they'll say, no, the Christian God and the God of Islam is the same. Well, the fact is, only those who don't read their Bibles would say that. When you read out of the Koran, for example, the Koran 112 verses 1-4, it reads, say he is God, the one and only God, the eternal, absolute. He begets not nor is he begotten and there is none like unto him. Now wait a minute, we worship a God who sent his son, Jesus Christ. The fact that we worship a God who says, I have a son and Islam says there is no son begotten by God, right away we see that we don't worship the same God. And yet there are Christians who will argue that we do. Because of that there are people who come to church but they don't necessarily come in order to be taught. They don't always come to the church to receive from the Lord. There's something that the Lord spoke to my heart I want to share with you out of the book of Ezekiel that illustrates this. It's found in Ezekiel 33 verses 30 through 32. And we're all familiar with that portion of Scripture. The Lord God is speaking here and he says, as for you son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses. And they speak to one another. Everyone saying to his brother, please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord. So they come to you as people do.  They hear your words but they do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love but their hearts pursue their own gain. Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument. For they hear your words but they do not do them. Notice with me what the Lord was saying. He said they talk about you. Invite people to hear you. They are seated before you like believers. They say come hear the word of the Lord and they will hear your words. They talk about love but their hearts are unchanged. And that is because the fact is you are considered entertaining. You see great crowds came and they heard God's word from someone who faithfully declared it. They took pleasure in the voice, the eloquence and beauty of the words that were spoken.  Yet for them according to verse 32 his words were like a very lovely song. Now when you look up the word lovely in the original language it's interesting to me because I never really had noticed it was pointed out to me. And that word lovely is a Hebrew word that doesn't speak just of what we may think in terms of it being pleasant. The word lovely speaks of that which is sensual. Literally he was saying that it appeals to them like it's a lover's song. In other words it appeals to them. Your message appeals to them on a physical level but it is not reaching them on the spiritual level. Someone said Ezekiel's voice and the music of it were appreciated but not the substance of the message. They appreciated how the song, how the message was presented but they did not pay as much attention to its content as they did to how the message was given. They enjoyed the harmony of his voice, the eloquence of his speech, the clearness of his words, the dynamic power of his presentation. What they did not do is obey what was said. They were not open to his teaching and the preaching of the message and were no more moved by his speech to repent from their sins any more than had they simply spent an evening in a concert. Someone said the gospel is a lovely song indeed. It reveals the love of God, the love of Jesus. Often the voice of a gospel minister is a pleasant voice to those who understand it but to others it is a voice and nothing else. They may be delighted with his performance but not with his subject matter. They hear the words but they do not obey them. You see what has happened today and we all know this is that we have begun to equate numbers with success and we have stated that that makes it a fruitful ministry. We can't see hearts so naturally we only evaluate by attendance. We hunger to reach younger people and we may even modify our message in order to appeal to them but slowly we dilute the message. It becomes appealing but it isn't edifying. We end up with full pews and empty people because we're not giving to them the substance of the gospel and there are many people who understand what's taking place and thus there's a variety of styles that have arisen because of that awareness. Some have become in their pulpit they have become entertainers and what they do is they polish their presentation and they're very careful not to be discouraging to those who are attending. Some have become great storytellers but they've created dull-minded sheep who are hungry for stories only. Some have become magicians. They pull things out of the Bible that aren't even there and some ride a hobby horse. They're always inserting their pet opinion in doctrine in every single message. We need to remember something that Jesus did. Remember with me that Jesus did not command the apostle Peter to entertain the goats. He commanded him to feed and to tend his lambs and his sheep and the feeding and the tending was one of the ways that Peter revealed that he loved Jesus because isn't that what Jesus said, Peter, do you love me? Feed, tend. How do you want to demonstrate your love for me? Be faithful in your service to the word of God. You see when you love the Lord you're going to love others and when you love the Lord you're going to care for them. Mark 1237 tells us that the common people heard Jesus Christ very gladly and I'm convinced that the clear and simple teaching of God's word still is attractive to people.  As we look at it again here in verses 16 and 17 it speaks of how Jesus is walking by the sea of Galilee and how he sees Simon and Andrew's brother. So what we see in Mark 1, 16 through 20 is Jesus calling four men into full-time service. We also see that he intends this service, this work to continue into the future because he's creating a continuing work. God wants us to impact and the impact that we have is something that is to continue into the future and the church is intended to shine his lights in a sin-darkened world. Remember what Peter said in 1 Peter 2 verse 9 when he said, you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his own special people that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. He called you out of darkness into his light. I was reading an article recently, perhaps some of you read the same article and I decided to just take an excerpt from it and just read it to you. This individual said this. He said, one of my closest ministry colleagues posted this on his Facebook page last year. There was a knot in the pit of my stomach this afternoon after I hung up the phone with a friend of mine who passers a growing church in our city. He relayed to me an anguishing story of how some members from his worship team were hanging out with other worship leaders in a key local church. He reported to me that his team came back from that hangout experience quite perplexed as the F-bombs were flying from the openly and unashamedly drunk worship leaders. Another pastor told me that he sent a number of young people from his congregation to train in a ministry school known for its worship. All of them came back to his church with a drinking problem, the result of hanging out with other worshipers in the ministry school, and on and on it goes. He went on to say, I'm not getting into the debate of whether it's okay for believers to drink in moderation, and I'm not suggesting that we will be struck down and die if we do something wrong during a worship service. But I am saying that God's presence is holy and sacred, and we dare not trivialize it with worldly worship leaders and mercenary musicians. Amen, amen. Like many of you, I was saved in a movement of the spirit, and I was delivered from alcohol abuse. Why would I encourage people to a behavior that kept me in bondage? There are some today whom I refer to as alcohol evangelists, and they are more passionate about their drink than they are about Jesus Christ. They want to debate to you grace, but in fact they're speaking of license. And you want to argue about it? I don't want to. Raul will later on.  But I got saved out of the mud. Why would I return to it? I got saved out of the vomit. Literally, why would I return to it? When you drink of the new wine, why would you want the old? And who has gotten saved through Manichevitz? We get saved through Messiah, Jesus Christ. And that's who we preach, Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. And that's what Christianity is made up of, isn't it? Jesus one time said, you do therefore greatly err, neither knowing Scripture nor the power of God. What is it that has made our ministries what they are? The power of the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Why would I go back to that which I was washed from when I can walk in the newness of life because I have been washed by the blood of Jesus Christ? And why would I encourage others to a lifestyle that destroyed mine? We need to walk in power and the Word of God in these last days and be lights that are shining in the darkness. That's what God has called us to do. Our lives are to be recognizably different from the lives of non-believers. In Titus chapter 2, this is what the Lord says through Paul in verses 11 through 14. He said, We should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for himself his own special people zealous for good works. And that's what the Lord would have for us to be zealous for the good works. Now notice again here in verse 16 that he saw Simon and Andrew. They were casting a net. And that tells me that the Lord is looking for men. He's looking for people that he can use for his glory. Now at that time, their chosen profession was not what God intended for them. We've discovered, haven't we, that God's calling and timing may interrupt the plans for our lives. I expected that I would be used by the Lord. I asked God to use me. But I asked him to use me after I finished college. I expected to finish my bachelors, move into a masters, right to serve him. But the Lord had other plans for me. God has a way of interrupting our plans because he has plans that are better than ours. And his calling and his timing may interrupt our life. Proverbs 16.9 says a man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. These people were simply fishermen, simple people. I've discovered something. I've discovered that that is the nucleus of what we called the Jesus people movement. God reaching into ordinary lives and transforming them to be usable utensils in his hands. And we didn't know anything other than I was blind and now I see. I was lost and now I'm found. I was a sinner, but I have a savior. And we would point people to Jesus Christ. I didn't even really know how to lead Jesus Christ. I would say, do you go to church? And they would say, no. And I'd say, go to Calvary Chapel, Pastor Chuck Smith, you know, these guys over there. I didn't even know how to close the sale. I just knew how to open the door. And she got to go over there. They'll tell you about it. I really don't know. But the Lord has a way, doesn't He, of using simple people? You know, sometimes we actually are not educated. We're not well-spoken. So we think we cannot be used. Well, at least until we met Raul and then we knew he won't beat me up. He loves me. But God delights in using ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. Think of David. Think of Amos. They were shepherds. Think of Jeremiah. He was simply a man. Matthew, a tax collector, Luke a physician. You look into recent history, not so recent, but recent history, like Dwight L. Moody, a shoe salesman. We don't forget that Mike McIntosh used to deliver records for Maranatha Music. Raul was a bully and I was a drunk. God has a way of taking the off scouring. And he has a way of polishing and using as a testimony for his glory, so that no man should glory in his sight. God uses us. He changes us. And the testimony that we are sometimes so sad that we have is oftentimes used by God to say if I could reach him, I can reach you. And that's how it works, isn't it? God delights to use people. And he does so because he has built on the foundation of human impossibility. He wants people to give him all the glory. And he doesn't want people to give us the glory. In 2 Corinthians 4 verse 7, we have this treasure in earth and vessels that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We don't invite people to come to know us, do we? We don't invite them to come to our church per se. What we invite them to do is come to our Savior. And we want people to love Jesus because he's the only one in this universe that really deserves every beat of our heart's love. And God does that work. Jesus was saying this to them. He said, come after me. I will make you become fishers of men. When he uses the word come there in verse 17, that's a word that speaks of an immediate action with no delay. This isn't something to put off for a later date. Move on this immediately. The Holy Spirit wants to prompt us to do things in order that we might be able to bring pleasure to him and glory to him and he has a way of leading us and he expects us not to delay in our pursuit. He says, I will make you become fishers of men. I am the one who creates you in this image. And what is their response verse 18? They immediately left their nets and they followed him. Without hesitation, they left everything to pursue him completely. They left their jobs expecting that in following the Lord he would take care of them. And as we look at this and go into verse 19, when he had gone a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother who also were in the boat mending their nets and immediately he called them. They left their fathers' ebony in the boat with the hired servants and went after him. I want to develop this with you for a moment. A couple of things that I want to point out. He is looking for many to work alongside of him because the work is great. One of the things that I learned and all of us in this room have learned about Calvary Ministry is we're not a denomination. We're something deeper than a denomination. What we are is a group of like-minded believers who love the Lord Jesus Christ and we love one another without boring you with my testimony but one element of it. I was 20 years old. It was 1970. I had a friend who began attending this church called Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. He invited me to go to church. I was raised a Catholic. I said, I'm already part of the true church. You're part of some Protestant Johnicum lately. Why would I go to your church when we have the pope? Why would I go to your church when we have all of the truth? Why would I go to your church? I don't want to go to your church. You can go to your church. It's made you a better person. I'm good with that. I didn't have a real faith in Christ. I didn't have a relationship with God. My only hope for salvation was ultimately marry a good Catholic gal who would pray my soul out of purgatory and that was pretty much my hope for eternity. I went to church but only for you know weddings and baptisms because he usually had a lot of beer. And that was it. The first beer I ever tasted was at a Catholic church. We broke into a refrigerator that they had storing the beer for their fiesta and friends of mine and I, going to Catechism opened up that refrigerator found some beer and that's the first time I ever drank beer at a Catholic church. And so why would I go to your Protestant church when I've got the true church? Why would I do that? And so he kept inviting me. Ultimately I decided to go to get them off my back. I drank some pot. I drank some beer. I was a hippie, barefooted. It was summer of 1970 and I knew I would get kicked out of that church because if I had gone to St. Pius the 10th church which is my church in Santa Fe Springs they would have kicked me out walking in with bloodshot eyes and beer on my breath and now their pastor is doing that but if I if I'd have gone in that condition I'd have been kicked out. So they take me to this church and it's that small chapel there they used to have and I remember walking in barefoot sitting on a carpet it was a small chapel packed. There were kids sitting in the platform they were filling up the aisles some of you remember that and I was amazed because they were all young and as I was looking around I thought this is strange this is really weird because I thought I'd get kicked out for being a hippie but when Lonnie Frisbee came up to speak I thought he's freakier than me and I blew my mind I really did but there was something I was experiencing this is an important thing I want you to hear I hope it makes sense I sat there and I can tell you when I was there I was on the right I was on the right side almost all the way in the back I still remember the kids were sitting down in the aisles with our knees up so you could lean on each other like they were your chair I remember that and I remember looking around saying something to myself I feel something but I don't know what it is there's something different about this place but I don't know what it is what is this that I'm feeling you know what I found out later on when I got saved it was love it was love it wasn't it wasn't all the trappings of a cool church with a hippie preacher and cool music guys watch out because we're trying to create an atmosphere without the spirit we're trying to make it a group of cool people with cool preachers but no Jesus but when you point people to Jesus Christ and you say this is the one who we worship because he is love and I love you for his sake you will see transformed lives we are so caught up trying to be cool and see I'm going to make you cool he said I'm going to conform you to my son's image we need to understand that by this shell all men know that you are my disciples if you know how to talk cool and have the right kind of lighting and the smoke during worship no by this they will know you are my disciple if you love one another love is what this world needs the love of God is demonstrated in the giving of his son Jesus Christ listen carefully because I really want to make the point that I said I wanted to make here in verse 19 notice verse 19 when he had gone farther from there he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother who also were in the boat notice the word mending mending their nets the word mending means to repair and restore they were mending their nets that gives me insight into what ministry is it's the restoring and repairing of human lives that's what ministry is many have come to our church services in terrible need and they need to see the Lord some of those who are in our churches have gone through pain that many cannot imagine enduring as a pastor I'll go down and I'll speak to people after church services and because they trust me they speak to me and they tell me of their deepest hurts they tell me of their fears and they'll share with me their struggles recently I've heard these statements my daughter is pregnant and unmarried my son has HIV my father died I lost my job my wife is pregnant and I'm not the father this one young man approached me and he said to me pastor I don't know what to do my wife and I have been married for nine years we have attempted to become pregnant and she just recently told me that she is but the baby isn't mine I had a lady approach me someone beat my daughter to death others have said I've been diagnosed with cancer I'm going to jail I don't know who will care for my family and the list continues these sheep aren't coming to church to be impressed with my building projects they're not coming to church to hear our band they're not coming to church because they love our children's ministry they're not coming to church because they want to be part of our coffee shop or enjoy our bookstore they don't come to church to hear our constant testimony they don't want to be impressed by our events they don't want to hear my political opinions they don't want to be thrilled with the numbers of sinners that we can pack into the chairs they don't want to come to hear my stories of my travel adventures they're not coming to be impressed with my Bible knowledge or passionate teaching or prophetic insight they're not coming to be impressed by my vocabulary when I first started teaching Bible study I was going to Bible college I was learning words and for me it was impressive because I didn't like to read very much and now I'm learning these concepts and things from Bible college I'm learning a Bible study and my dad who had an eighth grade education was one of the members of my Bible study and I still remember my dad as I was teaching and I'd use one of my ten dollar words and my dad would look at me with his pride and I see my dad was my dad was born during the depression he had to quit school in the eighth grade he had to go as a migrant to work in fields and produce an income and he and his brothers and even his sisters did that so dad didn't have a chance to finish school and he went into the Navy at seventeen and so he used to read but he wasn't someone who was scholarly by any means and when he saw his son going to college when he saw his son using these huge words he would smile at me and one day the spirit of the Lord spoke and said to the, I'll never forget it he said, your father's very proud of you but he doesn't understand a word you're saying that's a truth that's a truth he doesn't understand a word you're saying teach him in a way he can learn don't impress him with your knowledge don't impress him with your vocabulary teach him in a way that he can practically apply and that's a lesson all of us need to remember I would say you see hurting people come into our services and they don't know what to expect from us some of them have been rejected all of their lives and they're expecting to be rejected in the church and they come to be healed they want to be loved and we need to remember something if we don't love them a cult will a cult will we need to get out of the way we need to help them to see Jesus these men are to become fishes of men they're to throw out the net of the gospel and they're to bring people to the Lord they're to follow immediately leaving everything behind and to pursue him with everything within them as ministers as teachers servants may we may get our aim that the services that people come to in our churches and our fellowships will be centered on Jesus Christ that the love of the Spirit will be present that the power of the Holy Spirit will be evident in the transformed lives may they know that we're not just a group of people trying to build our reputations on their backs may we remember that the message we have of the gospel is the most powerful message that God ever gave to man and the most necessary message for anyone to be saved back in the early 80s I had the opportunity to go and minister to a man who had contracted AIDS we didn't know anything about AIDS at that time it was and so Randy Wall's pastor of Calvary Upland and I went together to a hospital in Upland I think it was and we stood outside the glass and we saw the wife and we saw the man who was hooked up to a machine and the wife was ministering and the nurse came out of this room and said to us you need to put on some gowns and masks to go in and I looked and I saw that the wife didn't have gown or a mask on and I turned to Randy and I said to Randy I'm gonna go in but you stay out because we don't know how you get it it was unknown at that time how does this happen we don't know and Randy said if you go he said I'm gonna go in you wanna go in yes I said then I'll wait out here you go on in I'll pray for you because I love you bro I love you no he said I'm gonna go in too and I went in with him and we stood at the bedside and there's this guy his name was Gary and he sees me as I walked in and his wife says Pastor David is here and Gary looked at me and he had all of this gear on and he motioned to his wife and asked for piece of paper and a pencil and he wrote these words these are words I have never forgotten these are words that motivate my ministry to this day and what he wrote and she handed it to me was just this I am eternally grateful to you you know why he was eternally grateful because I brought him to faith in Jesus Christ and he knew that closing his eyes here simply mean seeing him there that is ministry that is what God has called us to do never forget it isn't your name on somebody else's lips it is God saying well done my good my faithful servant enter into the joy of your Lord that I have prepared for you from the foundation of the earth that is what I want to hear and that is the heart of ministry God bless you


This is game chat one episode 138 it lurks in the shadow bringers. I Don't know game chat with one up. Welcome to the show Now here's your host born on McCall with all the gaming news of this week by the way, that's me We spoke to welcome to episode 138 of game chat one We're in a great show lined up for you. It's been a couple weeks, but I've been busy We had our 12-year anniversary on twitch the This past Wednesday, and I think the Wednesday before something else came up. Oh, I think I was sick Yeah, that was what was going on. I was sick Two Wednesdays ago, but we're finally able to produce another episode. It's been a couple weeks, but We got four great stories to talk about I may dig up another we'll see So it's good to be back on game chat want to check out my other podcast tech talk with one and also be rants The last be rants I put up was about twitch money and about how the earnings of twitch casters and twitch live streamers Is just so wild so much. So there's some huge dollar amounts. So I ran to a little bit about that I did that on the live stream. I think that was a Sunday Livestream so we got a great show lined up for you. Let's get right into game chat one episode 138 And for our first story, we're gonna talk about death stranding. I haven't talked about this very much I think I mentioned it. Let me mention it when it was first released Hideo Kojima's latest project death stranding got a release date reveal trailer released today on May 29th 2019 and we actually have a release date for it November 8th That's gonna come a lot faster than you think November 8th 2019 I've been given I've been given this a hard time because up until now we've been seeing some really really trippy and creepy It's just weird. I Know it's Hideo Kojima. That's what people say. Oh, it's Hideo Kojima. That was my problem with it It was just like they were dismissing all this vague nonsense with always Hideo Kojima. It's going to be great. Well, we'll see We'll see about that So I had a big problem with that with all the hype it was getting because it was just a bunch of confusing mumble jumbo with babies and What is going on? So this latest reveal trailer. I'm happy to report that they actually showed quite a bit It's not almost nine minutes long. So it's a lot of stuff They actually show in-game UI and things you can do and how you operate and Give some context to what the problem is and a little bit about the world that's being explored so it answered a lot of questions and I think the conclusion that came to was that it's going to be a very very creepy horror stealth based game With a lot of story-based elements in it, which it sounds like Hideo Kojima, you know It sounds like his style of game, you know, if you play any of the Metal Gear Solid games It sounds like his style that the whole stealth story-based stuff is definitely down his alley So it looks decent. I'm not convinced though. I want to buy it on day one It's a lot of weirdness with the other side and tapping into babies to detect these creatures and I don't know some of the story elements kind of bother me and I don't say that off the way video games It's just the story theme just bothers me quite a bit If it were a movie I definitely definitely wouldn't watch it, but there's a lot of you out there go. Oh my god That's so cool. There's dead people and Babies and weirdness. I gotta watch it. See I'm the opposite that doesn't attract me So I don't know Death Stranding looks a little bit too weird for my taste But I'm gonna be following that maybe I'll play it. Maybe it'll be a little bit more than what this trailer has intended it This trailer has shown me and I formulated my little opinion about Death Stranding. Check it out guys the nine-minute trailer Release date reveal trailer. I think there's some other trailers out there, too Which may be short. I'm not sure. I saw some titles pop up, but I don't know if they're from Hideo's Studio or not PlayStation exclusive Death Stranding release date is November 8th 2019 Check out the very very weird Release date trailer and for our next story. We're gonna talk about a new game release It lurks below from the creator David Brevik He has created a game which is kind of like a dungeon crawler side-scrolling pixelated base Game in the vein of terraria and starbound it has the same type of art style and movement systems But at its core if you've ever played this game, which I have I played in the alpha in the early access It feels very much like those types of art styles and games mixed With the looting and the progression system of a Diablo like title So a lot of people like to call it terraria and Diablo, but you know, that's that's a very very high level summary If you actually get a chance to play this game, you'll probably see that. Hey, there's there's a little bit more to it It's a survival. This is what it's listed as on steam just so you can get the official word It's a retro styled 2d. So that's the art style. I was talking about action-oriented survival RPG So you can call it an action RPG. So there you go A lot has happened. I'm not going to speak too much as to the contents in the classes. It has several classes Lots of survival elements But they have done a lot of rebalancing in the early access thanks to the the wonder of support that has gotten During early access David Brevik was able to add more content than originally originally planned But some things did have to get pushed to post release So while the game is going to be less than what he intended, you know a few months ago It is more than the original plan from when I gather from his post in updates So there's multiple classes. Let me read these. There's Bard Which is a melee you wield the power of song and screaming to beat your foes and battle There's a cleric, which is a melee plus range Come prepare for battle with heavy armor and plenty of healing power And then there's the enchanted the gene. I'm sorry the enchanter which is a range stun and lightning Stun and lighting. I'm sorry are the enchanters Chanters tools of choice. I don't know. I want to keep calling it enchanters. It's enchanter Then there's the necromancer, which is a range class She willed wielding the skulls of the dead as undead minions marks the necromancer As the game's resident pet class And then there's the paladin, which is a melee Dashing into combat wielding a powerful two-handed sword or hammer makes the paladin one of the most formidable melee characters in the game There's the rogue, which is a melee class Slip past enemies by hiding in the shadows and then stab them in the back like a rogue Warrior you decide between defensive and offensive stance both making the warrior incredible beast and battle and defensive stances for tanks And then you got the the wizard, which is also a range class and you harness the power of the elements to powerful area of effect tax Area effect expels that make there was an unstoppable elemental force There's hardcore survival descent hardcore descent creator survival a bunch of different words That mean different game words. I was gonna say a bunch of different modes Creative is basically what you think it is. It's just you there's no dying. You just have access to everything And it's more relaxed setting. So if that's your your cup of tea you can do that descent Has the same difficulty as survival But no survival aspect. So anyone just interested in just thrashing the monsters and getting on the loot There's no survival tree no hunger and no fatigue Survival has all the above but with hunger and survival tree and fatigue and other things you have to worry about cooking food and eating food And then there's hardcore Both survival and descent have a hardcore option. It doesn't change anything except you get perma death There's a lot going on in this game there's a lot of hours potentially that you can spend and Needless to say by me talking about it. You can figure out that I'm recommended it. It's 20 bucks For 20 bucks, you're gonna get you're gonna get a lot of hours of a lot of great entertainment So if the art style the 2d retro's art style doesn't bother you and you've played these types of games And you've ever played any Diablo title with the looting and progression system of that This game is for you. Check it out guys. This is it lurks below By David Brevik check it out on steam It is $20 and you'll find a link in the show notes to check it out. All right guys, you should definitely Check out the lurks below and for our next story. We're gonna talk about Final Fantasy 14 Final Fantasy 14 recently put out a live letter a producer's live letter which has to do with their upcoming expansion Shadowbringers which I've been playing a quite a bit of Final Fantasy 14 on my live stream at twitch.tv Slash one on which we stream every day set Wednesdays and Sundays from 3 p.m. The Olympian Um, and I've been I pretty much got re-addicted to the game I'm I'm hooked on and I play it almost every day pretty much every day And uh, there's a lot going on So there's a lot of hype leading up to Shadowbringers, which is going to come out the first week of July early access the last week of june And today was the embargo release the embargo was lifted on the recent media event that happened last week so a bunch of streamers and um Influencers I guess you can call them And media were invited to san francisco to meet with the final fantasy developers and their team to get all excuse me to get all the juicy bits on um On Shadowbringers and today has just been an overload of information. I'm not going to cover everything because there'll be a three hour podcast But let's just say there's a lot of good information a lot of new good information on the two new classes dancer And gunbreaker gunbreaker is a gunblade wielding class that is a tank. That's intriguing enough for you And dancer is a DPS class with a lot of buffs and dances Some cool mechanics coming But if that was the you know, if that was it it would be kind of like luster But I think the biggest thing about this final fantasy update is that they're going to be revamping about four or five classes tremendously The uh dragoon the dark knight uh The machinists Those are three that come to mind And the monk Are going to be revamped big time To where if you were a fan of the class based on the information that's been put out You're going to be even more of a fan and if you didn't like the class before you're probably going to love it now Because there's a lot of great things coming On top of the fact that they're adding things like a trust system where you can do some of the new 5.0 content with NPCs That are story driven So you know how in the past final fantasies where you get ready to do a dungeon You're talking to alpha now you're talking to all these different people And then you go into the dungeon by yourself Or with other people in the story you go in by yourself, but you're actually part of it. So this trust system seemingly is going to bring all those NPCs That we're talking to you before you got to the dungeon. They're going to be probably going in the dungeon with you Optionally, of course because you can go with players like you do normal dungeons so Final fantasy 11 has this kind of a feature already and final fantasy 14 Tried to do something with something called squadrons Which is a barracks system, which is very very similar to wow's garrison system You would essentially have a base And you would recruit people and you would train them and with the squadron system pre Pre squadron, or I'm sorry pre shadow bringers You could take them into the dungeons with you To do the dungeons to level them up and to you know level use it level you up to get xp But it was kind of a Now I wouldn't call it a failed feature, but the ai the ai wasn't all that smart What this trust system and shadow bringers is hoping to bring is a smarter way of doing this Based on the early Uh The early impressions from these influencers and the videos they've shown Everyone has agreed that the ai is better In the new trust system, but it's not perfect The player driven Dungeons and you know doing dungeons with your friends is always going to be better But if you play the dps like I did in storm blood You get to those dungeon queues. You don't want to wait 30 to 45 minutes It's just crazy. How long you have to wait in those dungeon queues. So this trust system hopefully Will allow us to level up dps classes without waiting in queues forever That's just some of the stuff that's come out today. There's so much information So much information. I highly recommend you check out. I have the subreddit thread the final fantasy 14 Subreddit thread which has a great summary of everything in one spot And there's a ton of influencers out there That that have provided great information, but I like this one because it's consolidated and it's very well organized And it's a lot of information I'll put the link in the show description. Check it out guys final fantasy 14 shadow bringers is coming And there's a lot of information a lot of changes and a lot of good things Which I think is going to make this a very very cool launch. Let's hope we don't have a rubon EX or rubon savage again Where the servers crash Let's hope we don't have what we had in storm blood this time around If our final story we're going to talk a little bit about overwatch the overwatch league, which is their esports competitive league their commissioner Has resigned from blizzard And he is going to work for epic games on the fortnight esports. This is big news His name is nat nan sir nan sir So why is this big news? Well I don't know if you've been noticing, but overwatch has been making big strides in the esports arena For quite some time just in the short time have been a lot Uh Overwatch is a fairly young game compared to things like dota compared to things like uh counter strike Call of duty big titles that of old halo But overwatch is making appearances on the espn like like like easily espn 2 on the main espn channel There's commercials about it on tv They have made big strides. They have gotten Real sports commissioners and real sports executives on board to create these teams Based on their cities much like you see in real sports They've got this massive arena out in california and now they're moving a lot of their esports to different the different home cities So they're going to have home games It's crazy How much they've done in a short amount of time while everyone likes to hate on overwatch and hate on Uh, just to hate on blizzard in general. They don't really have an idea what they're talking about because From a overall blip perspective overwatch league has been killing them There isn't another esports out there that's doing what they're doing That includes starcraft that includes legal legends. They're not doing what they're doing now They may have the numbers They may have more more numbers in overwatch league in certain respect, but these guys are reaching out to media and teams and branding Like no one else has ever done No one else has ever done like this So to see the the commissioner of this masterpiece Resigned it's kind of a big deal. Here's his tweet He says a hey overwatch league family. Hey I want to share that soon. I will be leaving blizzard for a new opportunity This has been the toughest decision of my life because it means I won't get to work with the best staff players teams owners partners and fans In esports anymore. I can't emphasize Excuse me. I can't emphasize enough how proud I am of what we've all accomplished together It has been an honor of my life to have been part of the team to help build the league a breakthrough burn blue he's got a bunch of Different hashtags here He didn't say that he was going to epic games in his tweet But the studio his farewell tweets, but the studio confirmed to espn Which first broke the story espn broke the story now again This is what i'm talking about that he will be joining to work on competitive fortnight It's already one of the biggest esports around according to pc gamer The fortnight world cup currently in the seventh week has a hundred million dollar prize pool So he's moving up. He's not going down But he's made great strides at blizzard and I think the epic games probably offered him twice or maybe three times What he makes now he probably couldn't pass it up um Here's just parting remarks. I get way too much credit for the success of the Overwatch League has been awesome To be our public face, but too many overestimate my role and making the league great. It isn't about me It's never been it's all about you That's why i'm confident that the league is in great hands I can't wait to see where the team where the team takes the Overwatch League in 2020 and beyond And i'll be cheering right there alongside you every step of the way Congratulations, Nate Nazar, but I don't know what blizzard is going to do Like he said he's he's not He shouldn't take credit for what um for what Overwatch League is does but doing but If epic is going to take him away, he's doing something right Check it out guys over on pcgamerant.com. They got the details. Nate Nazar is leaving Overwatch League As his commissioner to go to epic games for the fortnight competitive e-sports and that concludes episode 138 of game chat I want to thank you for listening.

hey everyone i hope you're well welcome back to my channel or if you're new here my name is seppie and in today's video i thought i'd film my everyday makeup for you guys so i'm just going off to uni so i thought i'd show you guys how i do my makeup for uni when i do wear makeup so some days most of the time i do wear but some days i'm just not bothered or i want my skin to recover or you know i've had like bad skin or whatever so i just won't wear makeup but when i do wear makeup or if i'm just going out for lunch on the weekends then i will put this simple makeup on so this isn't like my going out makeup at night time i can film that separately for you guys this is more of like a daytime look that i do pretty much most days or every day so um i haven't filmed a makeup tutorial almost a year but if you guys enjoy them then definitely give this video a thumbs up and let me know in the comments if you want me to film anything else um but yeah so let's get started so first things first i'm going to prime my face so i like to prime with this glamazon beauty by kim baker i don't know where this is from my sister got it for me um but i'm sure you can get it online my most important step is my like primer when i forget my primer it's like the worst like you just feel like nothing's gonna sit right the whole day it's gonna be weird like it just makes sure everything is like perfect but this is running out also this is in shade one clear so i don't use like a tinted primer so i wrap it in all over like a moisturizer and then i literally leave it to like soak into my skin for a few minutes and usually when i'm waiting for that to happen i'll like put on music or reply to messages or whatever so the primer that i use for my night routine is different because i kind of want a different texture i want to say to my skin at night time so when i go out so i use a different primer so yeah my night routine makeup is completely different to my day routine makeup next i grab my concealer this is nyx in fair and i literally just put it over blemishes or under my eyes and i don't put a lot so i kind of went anywhere that's a bit red or has like a blemish scar or something i don't put like a lot um underneath because i tend to go over and do the whole highlight and contour so i don't need a lot of concealer to begin with so it doesn't matter if that's fixed in like blended in properly because it's gonna blend in when i put on my foundation and my foundation is in shade 06 medium beige and it's the nyx stay matte but not flat foundation i love this and i'm also loving the nars one um i'll show you guys that when i film like my night routine because i use that more in the night time than i do in the daytime because it's a bit heavier coverage and i want only a bit lighter for the day but this is really good for any of you guys have oily skin because i have a really oily skin so i literally put five dots like that and i dab it all over my face and a bit on my neck and i just blend that all in so now that i've blended in my foundation everywhere i grab the same concealer and i literally go under my eyes a little and i go up the center of my forehead over my brow line and down a little on my nose so these are like the concealer lines that i draw and then i kind of like the sponge of this this is the maybelline instant anti-age eraser concealer and i think this is in shade one so it's like the lightest shade i like literally twisted the tiniest bit but i use it to kind of blend out this concealer a little so that when i use my beauty blender it's not like in straight lines it's kind of blended out already and then i just grab my beauty blender and then i blend this all in so my technique for the beauty blender is i literally just dab multiple times very fast and like little dabs and i don't mind going over like the same spot a few times just to make sure it's fully like blended into my skin before i used to use like makeup brushes and i'm like now i look back i'm like how it was so cakey how did you use makeup brushes for this so i literally only use makeup brushes for my contour and bronze and blush now so basically either powders or like really thick heavy creams i use but everything else i have to use a beauty blender then i grab my anastasia bellies hills foundation stick this is in the color chestnut and i just draw contour lines so i go from like the top of my ear kind of down towards my mouth line so you can kind of see your natural contour lines when you look in the mirror that's what i try and follow let's see if that's symmetrical and then i kind of like to draw like one higher line as well just because i like to keep that hole inwards perfect and then either side of my forehead down the bridge of my nose at the tip and then under my lip then i grab this real techniques round i think this probably is like a powder brush or foundation brush um they're not like the best quality but they're not the worst either like i've had this for like a year or two years even um it's just that the hair sometimes come out so be aware of that but for 10 pounds it's good does the job so now that's all kind of blended out i know my nose still looks a bit like well but we're gonna work on that it always looks like this to begin with and then i look normalish i'd like to hope so i'm just gonna grab the tiniest bit of concealer and just go down the side of my nose here and this side so like that i'm gonna blend that out with the beauty blender but like the sharp edge and then i grab a flat edge and i let you just go over my contour lines once on the side once on that side and dab and that kind of gets sort of like the harshness of it i'm gonna fill in my eyebrows now and this is the nyx eyebrow pencil in chocolate it is literally like such a perfect dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills um eyebrow pencil and it really does the job well so let me zoom you in even more now so i literally draw a line under my brow and then a line on top of my brow like that so that's like the outline of my brow and then i will do the same on this side so i outline them both by the way guys you know it's daytime in london like this is terrible daytime lighting it's so gray outside i'm so jealous of people who live in like LA and like australia where they always have sun okay so this is like my outline on my brows i know it looks a bit crazy but now i'll just use this kind of to no then i'll just use this outline to fill in so i just do like really small strokes inside my brow and then i'm gonna do the same on this side and these are my brows i hope that they're symmetrical and it's really hard to tell in a tiny mirror if you've done so much cool but like this one looks a bit higher oh well okay next i'm gonna grab my powder you guys are gonna realize by the way from the tutorial that i literally love next so i use the same matte but not flat powder under my eyes and this is in the shade nude smp 02 and i grab the zoeva brush in 105 lux highlight and i literally just blend out under my eyes so that's the powdery bit and then i grab my bronzer brush this is my favorite bronzer brush ever and it is the 101 lux face to find a brush by zoeva and i literally bought the whole brush set from zoeva like it was like 15 pieces and it was like 120 or something but i really found it helpful it allowed me to like play with shadows more whereas before kind of like two brushes and all my eyeshadows would come out so terrible so i really like recommend investing in like a brush set so you are more playful with your brushes but i rather looking really unsymmetrical i feel like in your key put on this one too high i don't know we're done with it now okay and then i grab my bronzer i love this bronzer it's in the shade medium by matt and it's the matt bronzer sorry by nex and it's the matte bronzer and i just wave it round once and i go over where i contour so i like to go like this then i grab my blush again by nex and this is in the shade baby doll this is quite like a strong shimmery pink color the camera's not focusing but it's like a really strong shimmery pink color so i literally just do like one down inside and i go for this side because i don't want it to be too you know harsh um yes already too harsh but it's fine because i end up blending it all out and you guys will see then i grab what do you grab seppy what do you grab my eyelash colors and i curl my lashes and then i grab my favorite mascara and this is the rimmel London that scandal eyes reloaded in shade double one black double double zero one black extreme black basically it's it's the darkest shade you have and i just brush up and down my lashes upwards and downwards try and separate them out and i just do the top lashes for now and the reason why i only do the top lashes first is because i'm about to put powder all over my face if i've mascara on my bottom lashes and i'm putting powder everywhere then it's just going to mess all up and it's going to be terrible so now i grab my highlighter this is again by grammar's on beauty by kim baker sign and got this from me i don't know where she got it from i think she got it from America and it's in the shade one golden goddess and it's a cream highlight and i really like it i use like what do i use i use like a flat eyeshadow brush to put this on and i will first do like a really simple line down the center of my nose and a little bit on the tip so i like to like bring it all onto the tip and then i dab it out my finger and then i do the same with my top lip and that's like the petite kind of um highlight bits like the delicate kind of highlight bits and then i put some on my finger and i just dab my cheekbone and that is enough the highlight then i grab my sheer loose powder this is by makeup forever i bought this when i was in melanne and it's the ultra hd micro finishing loose powder and it's tiny but i got this like in the end like the first week of august when i was in melanne and it's still like half full so it's it's amazing how much it lasts i shake it a little but that much comes out and then i grab my huge powder brush and i literally just oh i hope it doesn't go on you guys brush out my forehead and it all just makes sure that your makeup stays in place doesn't move and kind of blends out everything so that it's not like very blocky if that makes sense then i go back in with my mascara and i do another layer on the top and a layer on the bottom so those are like my top lashes and then i just do the bottom lashes so that is the end of the mascara and we are gonna finish with lips i have a few lip liners that are my favorite and if you look they all pretty much follow like one theme of color um yeah they're all like one color theme so um i'm just gonna read them out to you because i get so many questions so from next i use soft spoken love it um this is another soft spoken backup this is another soft spoken as you can tell it's my favorite and this one is copenhagen this one is london this one is another london so london and soft spoken i use a lot oh and last one nude suede shoes i haven't used this in ages i tend to stick to soft spoken this is another new one beijing looks like a pinky color and then for a mac i have nice and spicy boldly bear and then from oh this is another nyx this is coco this is when i do a dark outer line and then like kind of contour my lips in and then from rimmel i have addiction i used to use rimmel lip liners a lot more but now i just love nyx ones as you can tell you guys i love nyx makeup um so today i'm going to go with one that i use probably often so i'll probably take soft spoken so it's kind of blunt but oh well so what i do is i line around my lips so that's my bottom lip and then i top lip i just see the same i just go over the line on my actual lips and then sometimes i like to just leave my lips at this sometimes i like to fill it in further so today i feel like i feel like filling it in further so i'm gonna grab this uh lipstick it is honey beige by maybelline and it's kind of like um a velvet teddy by mac but it's like a creamier wetter finish all over and here we have it this is the end of my makeup look so this is my natural everyday makeup i don't mean natural this is my not heavy everyday makeup let's zoom you guys in further i feel like it's kind of a clean finish um what is that what am i even saying you guys i can't even chat um i'm still zooming in hello welcome to my beauty okay so this is how i look like from a normal distance i hope you guys enjoyed this video and i hope that i was good at showing you guys my everyday makeup i don't know i'm so used to vlogging now that i feel like i feel

blood, a life-giving liquid. It circulates throughout your body. It goes to every corner of the body to do what? To bring in food and oxygen and take away the waste products. So, what does blood flow through? Through blood vessels, right? These long tubes through which the blood flows. Now let me ask you a question.  No, right?   So that means we have a system called the closed circulatory system. The blood vessels never open up. They're always closed. The blood always stays within. That is why it's called a closed circulatory system. Let's take a closer look at this closed circulatory system. So what I'm going to show you is a schematic of our circulatory system. It's not going to show you all the nitty-gritties of it, but just to give you an idea about how a closed circulatory system works. So first of all, we have the heart. You know, it's a muscular organ which pumps blood. Pumps blood, that means it releases blood under pressure so that the blood can go to all the parts of the body. So we have the heart and that pumps blood to some blood vessels. So the heart pumps blood into the blood vessels and the blood flows through these blood vessels and then the blood vessels subdivide to form very fine small blood vessels called capillaries. So these are blood capillaries. So it is these capillaries since they are so small and fine that they can reach all the parts of the body, namely the tissues. So here we have the tissues. So the capillaries supply blood to all the tissues of the body. Now we know that the blood does not leave the blood vessels, even the capillaries. So what do we mean by supplying blood? So the capillaries go very close to the tissues and exchanges some material with the tissues. So the tissues themselves, they are surrounded by this fluid called the interstitial fluid. So what happens is between capillaries and this interstitial fluid that bathes the tissues, there is this exchange of materials. So the capillaries provide oxygen and nutrients to the interstitial fluid which surrounds the tissues. And then the tissues give back to the capillaries the waste products, wastes and also carbon dioxide. So this is how blood supplies material to all the tissues of the body through the diffusion that is taking place between the interstitial fluid and the blood in the capillaries. Now once this exchange has happened, where does the blood go? It goes back to the heart through some other blood vessels. So the capillaries, they join again to form these bigger blood vessels which are actually the veins. So the blood vessels coming from the heart for the arteries and then these are the veins which carry blood back to the heart. This is how blood circulates throughout the human body, not just in the human body. This is how it circulates throughout all vertebrates through the closed circulatory system. It is an incredibly efficient system. Imagine 5 to 6 litres of blood going through the entire body in less than 20 seconds. So the blood in the human body in a day covers 19,000 kilometres. That's an incredible number of kilometres. That is how efficient it is and how is it so efficient because of the astonishingly powerful heart. It is this muscular organ which pumps blood at a huge force and that is what pushes the blood throughout the body so fast. So that's nice. It's a very efficient system but the drawback is there's a huge amount of energy expended and that is important for us. We need to expend this much of energy because we are highly active animals. Yes, believe it or not, even the laziest of the human beings are highly active. Their metabolic rates are high as compared to some other animals. In some animals like insects there is something called the open circulatory system. Let's take a look at that. So they do have a heart just like we do which is a muscular organ which pumps the blood so we have the heart and then there are blood vessels which carry the blood from the heart towards different organs and tissues and then what happens is the blood leaves this blood vessels. Wow!  Well, they don't because their metabolic rates are much lower than ours. For example, you know how we are warm-blooded animals and insects are cold-blooded animals so they don't have to keep their body temperature so high all the time like we do so they don't really need as many nutrients as we do and not as much oxygen as we do because it's a metabolic reactions of the body that keep the temperatures high so they don't have to perform their metabolic reactions at a high rate like we do and hence they don't need a very efficient circulatory system. Another thing is the animals that have an open circulatory system like insects and other arthropods, some mollusks, they're small animals and the blood can easily diffuse from one part of the body to another but imagine the blood diffusing in our bodies from one part to another it's a very difficult feed because our bodies are so much bigger than theirs so that's another reason open circulatory system works very well with them so let's look at the reasons again why they have an open circulatory system metabolic rate is low and the animals are much smaller let's see what happens to the blood after it leaves the blood vessels well it goes to the tissues and bathes it directly we saw in the closed circulatory system that the blood does not directly touch the tissues it is the interstitial fluid that touches tissues here it's the same thing it is the interstitial fluid that is touching the tissues but in this case the blood and the interstitial fluid is one and the same thing so blood is the same as the interstitial fluid which is the same as which is also called hemolymph now what happens to the blood after it bathes tissues well it does go back to the heart so it goes back to the heart through these these are tiny pores that are there in the heart which are called ostea and so the blood enters re enters the heart through this ostea of course you can imagine right the blood is scattered throughout the body of the animal and it is finding its way back into the heart it's obviously not very efficient and very very slow because there is no one directed path like we have in our blood vessels they don't have that so it takes much longer but it is less energy consuming less energy consuming but it is also less efficient but that suffices for these small and simple animals so we have seen that there are two types of circulatory systems closed and open in the close circulatory system the blood does not leave the blood vessels and it is incredibly efficient whereas in the open circulatory system the blood does leave the blood vessels but it is less energy consuming
