I mentioned that I'd like to focus on what internet technology has been able to do with regard to the publishing and distribution of music. For a long time, the music industry, as it is called, would invite artists of different styles, forms, to come and record, and would publish and distribute their work. But in the last, I would say, 15 years, there has been almost a complete, I mean a gradual, but now almost complete shutdown of the music industry with regard to looking at diversity in Indian music. So while in 1902, when the first commercial recordings of Indian music were made, and when recording expeditions came to India, all kinds of music was looked at and recorded and sought, and coaxed and persuaded artists or persuaded to record. And obviously, there was great business sense in doing so. But regional forms, little known forms, all were captured with recording technology. Till 1984 almost when cassette technology and the cassette boom in the 80s, there was this, there were huge, as many as, I'm told, 300 labels in music companies recording all kinds of music. Of course, the larger ones would concentrate on Hindi film music. But I'm told that in the 80s, just 40% of the music market was actually, was consumers who were looking at film music. But 60% of recorded music came, was in the form of regional artists, singing a variety of forms. However, in the last 10 to 15 years, slowly there has been almost a complete neglect of many, many forms of music. And even with Hindi film music, it's only a certain kind of music that finds favor with the mainstream, the big, the large labels that have been in business for a long time. What this meant was not just that music was not diverse, forms of music were not being captured, recorded, and distributed, and documented. But it also meant that people and musicians and artists were being forced to look at certain ways of making music. To give you an example, in Delhi there is a wonderful family of Sarengi players. For six to seven generations, the family has been involved with studying Sarengi, teaching, playing, and their very eminent performers. One of the young performers from that family told us that this was about 10 years ago, that when there was his ambition to document his family's work by publishing a CD. And therefore, he approached a large number of record labels. Everywhere he was told, he doesn't run anymore. Now you can do the fusion. So he said, you know, I really like fusion also. But it is, I feel that I would like to document the family's deep involvement with the art of Sarengi playing. And I want to record a solo, but nobody is willing to record. And so I think, finally, I will just have to make the kind of music that I'm being asked to make. On the one hand, all of us could sit back and say, well, if you wish to be coaxed into doing something, or forced into doing something, that's your prerogative to say yes or no. But at the same time, I think that particular example really stresses the importance and the significance of internet technology and the empowerment that it has given to a lot of artists who have been able to engage with it. Because it has made it possible for Indian musicians to record themselves, to publish on their own terms and independent terms and conditions. And it has made it possible for them to free themselves of this kind of rampant tyranny of the mainstream large labels. Having said that, there is still a prestige that is associated with recording with a large label and the launch party that goes with it. And sometimes the stamp-sized picture that comes out in advertisement that comes, that you see in some publications. But what internet technology has done is that today, across the country, there are a large number of record labels and a large number of independent artists who really do not engage any longer with the big labels. They record the music that they want to, that they wish to, that they would like to leave behind as a mark of their work. They distribute it on their own terms and conditions. Sometimes they withdraw an album that was created four years ago because they feel that this is not a good representation of their work any longer. And I don't see that ever happening with a regular record label. Once you have, because what was the way in which an artist engaged with a record label? For a lot of us who were studying and are studying traditional forms of music, nothing in our Talim ever prepares us for a formal legal agreement. The only agreement that we knew and were taught was that if you learned the composition and if your Ustad or Guru told you that this was composed by Sohanso Pandit or Ustad, you had to just touch your ear, your gesture, your respect, or take his name and say, he ha me han se mili. That was it. That was the acknowledgement and credit. That's it. There was nothing more that we were taught. How then does one expect to know about a formal contract? When that contract should be studied, what are the areas that one should watch out for? And very often it's in a language that we don't know also. I mean, very often it is impossible that a contract written in English with a lot of legal terms may not actually make sense to anyone even if you are fluent in English. So, and I can vouch for this that I speak from personal experience that in my early recordings, I was never given a contract or explained the clauses of a contract before I went into a recording studio. It was only, in fact, usually after the launch of the album, that somebody would call from the record company and say, where is your contract? And then I would read this huge document which basically, if the English was to be followed, meant that I was bonded labor for that record company for the rest of my life. Including, including, this is very, very important, that I was signing away the rights for Rag Yaman, which I had never owned in the first place. So I had given them full copyright over Rag Yaman and Kamaj. And now, if I ever wanted to sing it again, you can help me. And I have to go back to the record label and seek their permission. Now, I am saying that these are the kind of contracts that are regularly used even today. Even today, this is the kind of contract that a lot of musicians are signing. Because nothing in their training or their talent ever prepares them for this world of complete, I mean, I would say, proprietary control over one's work. And although I'm not saying that internet technology has suddenly given us this freedom to soar away and do what we like, because I think each medium has to be understood. And there are problems with each medium and format. And those have to be learned, usually, unfortunately, on the job. And therefore, the lessons are not always very pleasant. But at the same time, at least that one beginning that one makes of saying that here is a piece of music that I would like to share with my listeners. And this is how I would like to share it. Let us say that I would like to record a one-hour a-lap in a particular rag. Why should anybody tell me that, you know, half an hour is more than half an hour. 15 minutes is better. So why should anybody tell me that if I really do want to present something in a particular way or if I have composed a piece of music which I would like to share with listeners, I feel that that independence certainly has come about through internet technology and the many, many ways of publishing and distribution. And therefore, for the last nine or 10 years, Anish, my husband and I have been working with our colleagues to see how internet platforms, distribution platforms can be used to share our work and the work of our colleagues with music lovers across the world. And this did really give us an opportunity to engage at various levels with artists, with people who are buying music, who are seeking music. And the main problem right now lies in the fact that although the technology is really empowering, but it is being used again by the people who once were exploiting artists in many ways. So today, if people are saying that, you know, you can have your work published in 300 online digital stores across the world, including iTunes and Napster and this and that, iTunes and Napster is also getting a lot of its content from India from the very same people who once exploited artists. And therefore, when you go with your one album of Alap for one hour, they say, yeah, yeah, sure, you can use this. It's a free platform. I mean, there are certain parameters that you have to adhere to, but it's really not going to give you any permanence. So while internet technology is made it possible for us to share music on our own terms and conditions, discovery of that music still remains a huge problem. How do people sitting in the room find out whether they can find, you know, recording of a Drupadhyaya from Darbhanga made 50 years ago. How do they know that they can find it on the net? We do not have all the platforms for distribution and for publishing and promotion, including things like, places like YouTube are actually now controlled by a lot of people who have the money to pay for the media. And therefore, we still face that problem. Okay, it's out there. The music is there. It belongs to us. We can administer our rights as we wish to, but at the same time, it's still in the hands of the same people, the same music industry who has now understood the worth of internet technology and they were laughing at all of us when we started work nine years ago. Today, they're all using digital platforms and distribution platforms, but they've taken over and they are very much in the same position of calling the shots. And therefore, I guess we all have to get creative yet again and find ways of beating them at their own game. I think there are several things to be said with regard to music and technology, but I think I'll stop for right now and maybe later we can come back.


Hello everyone! My name is Dr. Trevor Bailey. I'm head of the Department of Extra-Universal Affairs and this is the introduction seminar for extra-universal operations. I know that's a mouthful, so just call us Multi-U. Space-based SCPs. Sorry, wrong room. You're looking for Dr. Cartwright. Three doors down on the left. No problem at all. NASA guys. Can't figure out directions in two dimensions. Now then, alternate universes. Alts for short. We're still fumbling in the dark for the most part on the exact principles, but we do know enough to make a seminar about it. And before you ask, yes, everything is possible. If you end up here in Multi-U, you'll see quite a lot of it, which in reality is an infinitesimal nothing of what's really out there. Infinity and all that. Did you know that there's a universe where the entire foundation is dedicated to punching sharks? Or that Clef is Satan in another? Just some fun facts like throwing out there. Loads of weird stuff here in Multi-U. Now then, back to making the infinite understandable. Around here, we use the HBF classification system. Hub, branch, floater. Hub universes are the big ones. Metaphorically speaking, of course. They're not big so much in size as they are in importance. Hubs are the basis of branches. Just as branches will turn into more branches. Branches always have some sort of change from whatever they're branching off of. It might be one tiny thing. Like you didn't brush your teeth this morning. Or it might be some massive cultural upheaval. Or XK event or something like that. But all of them will be based off of another universe. All the way back to the hub. Now floaters. They don't have any apparent connections to anything else. No hub. No branch. They're the ones where the entire universe is made up of asbestos and marshmallow fluff. Or the ones inhabited solely by rotting fish heads speaking in cockney accents. Now, like I said before, you are going to find some really bizarre stuff.  But there's a realization everyone comes to sooner or later. And it's going to break you. It breaks everyone eventually. Normal SCPs, they're scary. Because they're wrong. They're all something that isn't right. Most people can deal with that. They know there's something wrong here. And they push it to the side and chalk it up to another day at work. No such luck in multi-U. When you're dealing with alts, most times the things you see are exactly the way they should be. Somehow, the procession of events and position of atoms has created a universe where whatever you're seeing is perfectly normal and acceptable. Yeah, there's a universe where your favorite childhood television show is completely and utterly real. There are also plenty of universes that will take that, rape it, and run it through a meat grinder. Now, before we get too carried away with all the things I've seen, all the operations are normally pretty simple. Get in, look around, pop on back. Don't leave anything behind. Don't take anything back with you. Maybe the research team will authorize a few follow-ups. That said, there are several very important guidelines to follow. 1. Observe. Don't interact unless you absolutely must. Remember, you're the SCP in this scenario. And the more differences there are between our world and whatever world you're going to, you're going to stick out worse than a Jack Bright Christmas party. We don't want that. 2. Pack light. Keep on your toes. Document everything, and remember where the exit is. 3. If it's dangerous or pointless enough that there's no sense in authorizing a follow-up expedition, then don't. Just because you might have D-Class at your disposal does not mean that you have some sort of quota. 4. If there's something dangerous enough to bleed over and mess up our universe, close the door behind you, or even better, destroy it. It's not worth risking our own universe to study some minor cultural variances. 5. Are you the sort of person who wonders, if I make out with my alternate universe gender for themselves, is it incest or masturbation? The answer is no. You are not setting a foot outside our reality. Ever. But if you do happen to meet yourself while in another universe... Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was supposed to start at 2.30. Okay, well done. This year everyone is what some people call a problem, though I prefer the term learning experience. Can anyone tell me what you should do if you meet yourself?  No, you do not kill them immediately. Okay, you with the mom tattoo. Nice touch, by the way. No, that'll just make things worse. Sorry, Malay, everyone. I'm Dr. Trevor Bailey and... oh my. Well then, I'm afraid we'll have to wrap this up now so I can go and solve this. Refreshments are in break room 4 down the hall. Did you see that one guy's face? The one with the mole on his nose?  And then there was that lady in the back, the one with the bow. She looked like she'd seen a ghost. Definitely don't want her here then. You see a lot worse than ghosts in multi-U. Yeah, you get to see the doctors Bailey. But there was that one guy at the 10.30. The way he was glaring at us, and positive he had us figured out. Might want to change up the plan for next time, Trev. I'm Tom. He's Trev. You're Tristan. Oh, right. Dad was a real jackass, wasn't he? End of file.

Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Graph. Thank you for watching this week. So the scrapbook layout I'm going to be sharing today is one from a trip that I had back in 2015 when I went to Borneo, went to Sarawak which is the Malaysian state of Borneo and visited the amazing orangutan kind of sanctuary. So it's a protected forest with huge huge forest and it's where they've got not necessarily rescued but it's just a part of the forest which is protected so it can't be you know they can't chop down the trees they can't build on it they can't do anything. Now this place is just so special they are completely wild you go there you are never guaranteed that you'd even see any and that is the kind of thing I wanted I wanted to go somewhere so that if I did get the chance to see them I am seeing them in the in their natural habitat. Now we were extremely lucky because when we arrived and the ranger you go in small groups and we arrived and the ranger just said to us you know you need to keep your voice down and just take things easy don't try you know no running and things like that that's fine so we're walking down the hill and then all of a sudden Richie who is the huge orangutan that you'll see in the picture or that you've already seen just walked right across her path just really slowly and it just completely caught me off guard I stopped in my tracks I couldn't get photos not I wasn't even thinking about that it was just one of those kind of magical moments that I just will always remember so if anybody ever asks me what was it you know a special experience for you this is up there because it was just magical and it made me cry and just to see this amazing huge gracious animal just walking right past you was incredible so anyway that's just a little bit of background towards you know of these stories that's a background of the pictures that I'm sharing today so you've just seen me there kind of sharing the photos and basically what I've done is I have just not long ago got a new cricket machine so I've been playing around with it and I went and die cut lots of different leaves and when I peeled off the the kind of the card from the the sheet that you get it had this great kind of stencil so I thought I would use that to start creating the background for my scrapbook layout so you'll see here I'm just bringing in different distressed oxides I think I used pine needles um forest something forest was it mowed lawn no that was it evergreen shabby shutters all those kind of colors and I'm just basically with that one there that you've seen now I just kind of done two different colors then I'm bringing in this one and I'm coming in this was the I think it was the moat no it's not must have been the evergreen I think anyway and you can see I got really nice results with it so I was I thought when it come off I thought actually I don't want to waste that I think I'm gonna you know use it for my background so I didn't go right to the edges there's some white parts and things like that but you'll see me now start to kind of distress that a bit more and kind of cover that all up because the the whole thought process behind this layout is I wanted to feel like I was back in the jungle so I wanted the layout to make me feel like I was back there again because if you ever get the chance to go to Borneo it's just an incredible place to be so I'm just yeah I'm so happy that I got to you know experience that so this layout I just wanted to be very green I wanted it to be really really full and yeah just with lots of texture it's very 3d and it's come together I'm looking at it now it came together really well so these are the photos you can see them a bit closer up now and I'll go through the names so this is Richie so like I said he's the one and he had gone away for three months no one had seen him he'd gone deep into the forest and the rangers said you know he'd already spoken about Richie and said that you know he's our biggest Murangatang that we have you might not see him he hasn't been seen for a long time and even the rangers were really surprised like shocked and happy and they were getting excited and it was just it was just a great experience and then like other groups of people came later on and Richie by this point had gone back into the forest again so those people we were saying to them we got to see him and they were like oh my gosh I can't believe we missed it this is amazing so again it was just a really lovely moment so for at this point I thought I'm not going to use all of the photos I thought I'm just going to do one layout and have the picture of Richie right in the middle this picture was I did zoom up quite a bit this one was just taken on my phone so it wasn't great I got other pictures which I used with my my actual you know proper SLR camera but this one yeah I just had my phone at that point because he didn't stay around for long he came down to get a load of fruit that they laid out and then he kind of disappeared back into the forest now the other ones that you see they are normal like that's how close I got to them so these you've got here this is Suduko's the mother so she's the larger one and then you have Annalisa who's her daughter so she's the slightly smaller one in front you'll see when I flip this one over so the little one there to the left that's Annalisa and then you've got Suduko who's the mum and that's them closer in the bigger picture so Annalisa's on the back of her mum and then that's them the bottom left is them both playing up in the trees so we've really got to kind of you know see lots of them they hung around for quite a while and they walked very close to me the ranger said that it was okay he said just don't make any sudden movements don't scare her and just let her walk past and she did so again I just couldn't believe how lucky I was so I'm just going around now I've just distressed all the edges of the layout I've used my dovecraft distressing tool and now I'm starting to bring in all these leaves now I did off camera go and distress them all you saw me rolling them a little bit just to kind of create some shape the brown leaves come out really really well and you'll see them better in the pictures at the end but they really did look because there was like the you know there was the dead leaves on the floor so they were quite brown and you had the real lush wet you know like jungle feel of the leaves in the trees and I just wanted to kind of create that so I I've just filled these photos with leaves surrounding them and I think it looks really nice so you'll see now I'm just using my hot glue I just wanted something that was just going to be quick really because there was a lot to do with this layout and I just think every time I look at it it just I love it I really like this and I that's the whole point of doing scrapbook layouts is for me anyway it's to make the person that maybe looks through this to feel like what it was like to be there and I know it's only paper but I hope you can kind of get what I'm trying to say is you know we were in the forest and it was just amazing so as I said we were in Sarawak so Borneo is is two states you've got Sarawak which is the Malaysian state and then you've got Sabah which is the Indonesian state so we were in Sarawak and that's what I'm spelling out there so these are just some cork alpha stickers that I've got I don't know where they're from I've actually had them quite a long time and they were just in a plastic bag so yeah I want to say probably somewhere like the works of the pound shop it might have been the pound shop anyway they were a little bit lost because they're quite thin just directly onto that paper so I'm just bringing in some green washi tape there and then I go and stick them down it just helped them lift up a little bit really easy and these ones are super sticky as well so I didn't need to put any like extra glues or anything on the back of them but I just saw that cork kind of textured lettering worked really well with this layout and that particular wording fitted perfectly so now I just went along and laid out my stamping up alphabet label stamps I've got the word Borneo there so I'm just cutting that down smudged it up a little bit as well just to keep it distressed and kind of you know I don't really want a lot of white in this layout at all so I'm just messing up all those corners and I use the distressed tool on it as well so yeah again you'll see that in the photos at the end it's it's got a lot of yeah a lot of distressedness to it so I'm just sticking down there so it's Borneo Sarawak because again I mean I'm pretty good with my geography now I've like I said I have traveled quite a lot around the world so yeah it's um look it up have a little look anyway if you are interested so then I got went ahead and I stamped Richie, Annalisa and Suduko or Suduku and again I'm just going to cut those down distressed them and give them a bit of a in-cup with the it's the frayed burlap distressed oxide I like that one for just messing up the edges and stuff so I mean this didn't take too long to do the most time consuming part was that stenciling actually at the beginning this kind of part was really quick because I obviously the cricket machine which I love just cut all of those leaves out so quickly so it was yeah great so now I'm just sticking these all down again names I'm pretty good when it's a moment that I will always kind of treasure so I probably would never forget these names but you never know many many years down the line I would get very frustrated if I couldn't remember so there we have Richie, Annalisa and Suduku so then I was going through my box of subtitles there which I love and I've pulled out three so I've got opportunity of a lifetime which that is for me I doubt very much I will probably go back especially not to there again I may well I'd like to think I'd be able to see you know them more orangutans in the wild but I doubt I go back to the Borneo so opportunity of a lifetime moments you'll never forget and not just another day because that wasn't that was just epic it was incredible so I'm just sticking them all down I distressed them exactly the same way as I did before so I think I wanted them to just blend in really nice I didn't want them to really stand out again I didn't want lots of white so I've kind of I think I've done that like I said I think this has turned out really well so that's all of those now stuck down and that brings me to the end of the layout so I'm bringing in the this is like a really nice greeny gold Nuvo drop again I I know Nuva drops in a you know jungle themed layout but I just like them just adds a bit more texture and just a little bit of shine and that's the end of the layout and I absolutely loved it now I did also add in you might see it closer in the photos in a minute but to the bottom right not right now but in a minute I put 2015 and I just stamped it and you can see it there in the bottom right hand side just again to remember that year and I'm going to try and do that a bit more on my layouts just a little date in the corner and look they just look lovely the green leaves I think just turned out really well and I just love the all the distressed look around the photos there you can see it just really messed up you know I didn't want this to be neat I just wanted it to be really rustic and I yeah I think I've managed that with this layout so I hope you've enjoyed my little story there it was nice to sit down and kind of reminisce and remember that day and I will be back again next Sunday with another layout thanks for watching bye


Welcome to the zealandformer podcast. I am your host Alfred Tavex on this fine Monday night at 8 o 3 p.m Which means when we are recording this tonight. I am joined by two fantastic men First is our own Colin say hi Colin He has a kazoo in case you can count and then we're also joined today by a very special guest my friend Ty Say hi hi So we don't have a lot of news well, we got some news this week, but nothing too too big But we're gonna go through it all and then I have another thing at the very end planned Try to do that every week now Just have something different plan next week is gonna be a little bit more interesting but first and foremost let's get to the news so Recent report came out a few days ago about a day ago or today saying that tantalist the company that worked behind Twilight Princess HD is developing games for the Nintendo switch the CEO of the company said I can confirm that we're working on switch And I've been for some time our titles have haven't been announced as of yet, but keep an eye out for more news soon We've always worked with Nintendo platforms And now of course after Twilight Princess HD our relationship with Nintendo is stronger than ever I expect fans will look back through Nintendo's catalog and think about titles Which they'd like us to bring to the switch and everyone should feel free to make suggestions on our Facebook page So I'm gonna toss that question to you guys What what do you think that they'd be working on like what do you hope they're working on and Just just have a ball with that one I mean, I was gonna I'm quickly looking up like Games they have made that aren't Twilight Princess HD. So I have a really good idea of What they've worked on in the past? Wow, not much Mean there's like a there's like a shitload of license stuff like just Pete like like console ports of Just games I Don't know they have house of the dead on here Let's bring ask Sega to bring house of the dead to Nintendo switch like a remake or just like a new game all of them all four of them I wouldn't and The one that I for overkill there we go In terms of Nintendo franchises, I think we can all agree that urban champion needs a HD remaster Urban champion is the greatest game of all time if you own a 3ds and you you don't own the 3d classics version of urban champion You my friend are bad at video games. It's just you're you're not good So you want an urban champion HD port to the switch Yes, okay. Well, you could drop that on their Facebook page. Just let them know What about yeah, what about you Ty? What are you looking forward to or what do you hope? I think I mean Based on their work with Twilight Princess I'd be I wouldn't be surprised at all if they weren't possibly working on a skyward sword HD Especially with you hear that It's urban champion Fucking bring it to the switch Also, yeah, I was gonna make a joke about skyward sword HD, but yeah, well, I mean especially with body or um, I think it was Al Numa a While back he was asked about, you know, Twilight Princess HD Or not probably there's a possibility of skyward sword HD and he said it You know, it's it's a possibility or you know, it could definitely happen or something So, I don't know that that just seems like something that that might happen in terms of non Zelda games whatever reason I feel like Super Mario Sunshine might be a game that they Might want to make an HD remake for I don't know what makes it just for some reason I feel like that that particular game is You know one that's prime for a for an HD remake Above you know some others. I don't know it's really tough to say that there's so many things they could do You know, basically their entire Catalog we and you know be prior Yeah, I mean I could see a Super Mario Sunshine HD remake I think that'd be cool. We could do graphics and updated graphics for it Oh man, we get to see the opening cutscene. That's like 10 minutes long where Mario says full sentences and in Full glorious HD and it's still gonna be really uncomfortable. I feel like we've had this conversation before Colin Did we have that on the previous podcast?  I'm sorry. I don't like it I'm sorry. It makes you uncomfortable But I think that'd be a great game to come to HD You know, we'd get new paint textures and stuff and that game was already beautiful on the Gamecube doesn't really hold up on a big screen TV though Everything's really pixelate.  It's the same goddamn thing Let's see I My hope I don't know I'm probably one of the few people that that still holds on to hope that more of these games are coming but I'd like to see like Gale of darkness or Pokemon Colosseum get an HD port to the switch with like You know as much as I'd like to see that I'd also like to see Continuations on those with all the Pokemon, but those are great games I mean if I'm gonna be complete like actually serious urban champion. No, but actually I don't know. I feel like I would love to see I was thinking about this the other day and I would love to see a collection of remakes of Some of Nintendo's older kind of arcadey games for the NES none of like the really like big-name stuff like Mario Brothers But like baseball and pinball and and golf and stuff like that So like just actual 3d model remakes of those are just like yeah, okay? I mean not just sports games, but you know stuff like radar scope and stuff like that I feel like that'd be really cool. It seems like Nintendo really wants to kind of Bring back this this this air of nostalgia to like oh remember when Nintendo Did a port of joust for the NES like stuff like that I think would be really cool to see kind of brought back I mean they keep bringing back the goddamn game and watch they might as well Yeah, I mean it's it's it's hard to tell with Nintendo because Everything's on the table for them. It seems like in terms of remaking games though. I wouldn't be shocked if we got Ocarina of time HD remake for the switch like that's that's almost the next inevitable step that we're gonna see would we or do you Think they're just gonna stick to their guns of having the 3ds ports do that I don't know because I think that The Majora's mask was on 3ds and not we you was kind of telling of that But I also ran with kind of the same engine So like they just ported it over and took those assets over but I don't know I feel like Ocarina times too big of a Game for them to just kind of leave on the handhelds and For them to like oh, we're gonna rebuild it with HD textures and you know put it on the Nintendo switch You know updated with all these different things and I mean I could see that happening at some point I don't know if that's the game they're working on If it was up to me, I'd get an HD remix or HD remastered of Luigi's mansion, but that's probably never gonna happen That'd be nice. I mean Really when I like Unfortunately as of right now, we can only really talk about HD remakes because that's really all that this company is done But like I mean if we want to talk about games that I would love to actually see come to the switch as in new installments of franchises.  Let's do it Let's do it the rights to that or no, they might I thought I heard I thought I saw some kind of article a while But this might be a few years back now about them like renewing the trademark or maybe that was them not renewing it Either way, I think I think they did just for whatever reason yeah But they like to do that with their trademarks regardless of whether they're using it or not so it's that could mean anything Yeah I mean, there's a lot of like I we're probably gonna see another resident evil game on the switch. Probably another remastered I mean, that's they're just shoveling those things out now I mean I pretty much anything that you could think of that's already kind of being developed Might get an HD ring and this is this is kind of like in the same vein But not really do you guys think that we're gonna see then Final Fantasy 7 on the switch? Yeah, maybe Yeah, it's I mean if it sells I mean I think it really comes down to if whether or not the switch sells It's really it's really hard to pinpoint if games that are coming out in 2017 are gonna be released on the switch or whether or not developers are gonna wait first Yeah, and and then Port later because I mean right now we still don't know I Mean we still don't know aside from Breath of the Wild and like one random Okay, aside from Breath of the Wild to Dragon Quest games a just dance game Sanic generations to and some Oculus Rift game that no one gives a shit about no Mario's coming to like a new Mario game But here's a thing well Nintendo even said was like well what you just saw wasn't confirmed I think they say also Pikmin 4. There's no way Pikmin 4 isn't coming to the switch at this point When it comes to Nintendo, but not you know they said you know and the third party is that I've also shown games On that like that's that I was a skyrim, you know They said that there's there's no official game announced So it's just cuz I think they're not ready to officially formally announced these games But I think we can well yeah assume that these are actually coming I Mean I I don't doubt for a second that like that Mario game is real. Yeah Just I'm just putting out the precedent that it hasn't been actually announced yet But they wouldn't focus on it so much if it wasn't real Do you think that all those companies would like I said would port skyrim over or you know What have you over to the NX or switch? Sorry in hopes of like expanding their audience then because there are people that only have Nintendo consoles and they don't buy PlayStation they don't buy Xbox do you think they'd see that as a worthwhile adventure then? maybe I mean That would get bring a pretty good point You know that company because all they've really done in the last couple of years have been doing as I said ports And HD remakes, so maybe they're actually focused on porting third-party titles over to the switch and helping out, but I Don't know um in terms of whether or not third-party Ports and remakes would allow people to come over. I think so. I think they just have to be timed decently Yeah, yeah, that's that's what I'm saying like I don't see Activision releasing like infinite warfare on the switch But whatever game whatever call of duty game comes next. Yes, they might they just have to actually like Include support for things like DLC. Well, I mean they've always they've always done that But like you said they never really keep the support going for it like black ops 2 came out for the black ops 2 had one map Ghosts had one map. Yeah That was it like it was more along the lines of like an obligatory. Hey this thing is out We might as well just get yeah the game out onto these consoles But I think that we might see with the NX more partners gosh dang it the switch More partnerships with third-party companies being like okay Well, this isn't just another obligatory console that we need to make a crappy ps2 port for like this is something that we can Actually make games for and actually like Taylor our games to like Taylor ports to That being said, I I sure hope so. I mean, I think they'd be great. I mean like so far That's what we're here. I want Tom Calancie's rainbow six siege to on the switch.  I don't care See, I think the the portability of Switch is probably gonna be like I feel that's the Bigger draw than just getting you know the Nintendo audience because the Nintendo our audience seems to largely ignore third parties for the Most part, but I think there's gonna be a whole new audience with switch that want to see these, you know these normal these console games on the go With with switch and I feel like that's why we're seeing such a strong Presence of third-party support at the beginning if rumors are to be believed apparently according to a newspaper report Apparently when you have the tablet in the docking station, it's gonna get a terabyte and a half of power Which is more than a ps4. Yeah, but then once you Take it off the docking station and you're using it on the go It's gonna be like three-quarters of a terraflop Which is like slightly less than the Xbox one, but then you have to consider the fact that the screen is 720p Yeah, so that that wouldn't be So killing the resolution wouldn't be that big of a deal And that makes sense considering you wouldn't want to Terraflop and a half capable handheld or else you're I mean anyone who's ever owned a gaming laptop will tell you the thing will Just die Within the hour, yeah So we kind of got a topic there. That's okay. That's what we do But under the next we have no topics. This is anarchy There's anarchy when I'm in charge So this There's your cuisine for waiting for that. So November 2nd Nintendo rolled out the update the huge update for Animal Crossing New Leaf included with that were 50 plus amiibo cards and Figurines that you could add that they're shoveling out And then you could also add this is kind of where it ties in so I'm not just throwing this out there You can add splatoon characters and clothes using the Marie and the other one. I forgot the name Callie. Oh my god Those two amiibos you can get characters in Animal Crossing moving your town that resemble them or you could use Legend of Zelda amiibos and get medley Ganondorf a pona or wolf link into your town and You can also get items from them and get different things from them They also roll out a bunch of other features and actually got me to play the game again Which I haven't played apparently a year according to all my villagers But yeah, I got back into it Keeping me going for now. Um, they've also added in case you guys are wondering Daily challenges where you can go throughout the day and then you know Sell X amount of apples catch this bug sell whatever it is But they'll have daily challenges to keep you coming back. Which is kind of nice So what are your guys thoughts on this new update? I'm sure my sister is a static Have you not played Animal Crossing in a while called she has my cartridge. Oh, I can't play it But I mean, I guess it's fine because these changes sound cool and I guess she'll enjoy the game more I'm yeah, I'm loving the update.  I It's bad my town like most of my I still haven't cleaned up my town from how just Know what I was doing last time I played there was items all over the ground. My house is a mess I don't know so but the new features are great. I'm loving the amiibo You know, I have a wolf link in my town now It's it's awesome. It's really gotten me to play to the whole community the Animal Crossing community seems to be You know coming alive again, which is really nice to see. Yeah Like my fiance had played in a while and she got back into it because of the update So it's it's done its job What are the sales of Animal Crossing new leaf it really makes me wonder like how well that game has sold for them to Continuously update it. Yeah, they've been giving updates for bigger and better things.  Yeah, that's a lot and that you know, it's still when it came out Whenever came out that is like roughly a sixth of what the 3ds is sold. Isn't yeah that came out October or sorry November 8th No, June 9th in America, okay And then what year 2013? Yeah, exactly the November 8th in Japan 2012 and Europe got it like a few days later than us And so like that's still a big number From yeah, that is dates. Oh, they've kept it going like there's they'd still send out updates like hey You've got this thing from Nintendo whenever you logged into the game So I think it's a worthwhile venture and they thought it was more worthwhile to go ahead and add Completely new sections to the game and things that are completely new which you know, it was great You know, I feel like I not that I have a brand new game But it extended the life for animal crossing new leaf for me for however long that's going to be Just pretty cool Yeah, yeah, I think another part of their plan is that they've got the December 2nd, I believe along with the new amiibo. They're releasing a A new version of the game that includes the update and everything and we're crossing new leave welcome amiibo So they're probably expecting to get a lot of new players in with that and it's probably I Think they're probably expecting it to be one of their big amiibo titles to to push because they've got you know All those animal crossing amiibo that are sitting there. Unfortunately not selling very well So maybe new leaf will change that. I don't know. Yeah, I mean this kind of goes into our next topic, too Is was calling pointed out earlier before the podcast started is that Nintendo is releasing on November 25th? two versions too limited edition versions of the new Nintendo 3ds not the XL version just the standard version Yeah, the good one for a hundred dollars, which is just a little bit more expensive than the 2ds Which is already $80 and which is what the 2ds misses, you know, obviously like glasses-free 3d and this this stand this Handheld is half the price of the new 3ds XL and they have these new ones have like Mario mushroom kingdom prints on the back But kind of like I was saying like, you know, you think maybe they're releasing these close to each other thinking well we've got these new new new new 3ds is out and Now we'll have like a quote-unquote new animal crossing game to bring out And Colin you said you were planning on getting one of these. Oh, absolutely Um, I got to say I owned the original 3ds at launch and it was an uncomfortable It's not very comfy and then I got the XL and it's so comfy and then I got the new 3ds XL And it's pretty damn comfy and then I tried out the new 3ds At Nintendo New York and I was like wow, this is what the original should have been It's not the size of like three Samsung note 7s like taped together. So There you go So, yeah, no, I'm excited to get one if they don't sell out by the time I'm able to Head to Best Buy. I think they're gonna be popular I know I have a number of friends who have been waiting holding out and not updating their you know Because they wanted specifically the small in black My roommate refused to update because he wants the black one not a white one So I there's a lot of people out there who they're probably gonna be you know Russian to get this You know, I feel bad for my sister because she just went out and bought a 2ds Few days ago about a month ago. So she's missing out But moving on then and there's they're cheap enough that I can just trade in my old 3ds XL And probably make all of it back. Yeah, cuz I think they those things go for like what 80 so and then some yeah Yeah So moving on There's been a rumor that's been going around Past few days. I guess it was really popular today. It's not everywhere was that Somehow someone got the idea and this has been going on for a while as well The Kingdom Hearts 3 is being released on the switch.  So we the rumor is that it's coming to the Nintendo switch And you know, that's part half half unbelievable because I don't think we're ever gonna get Kingdom Hearts 3 but We the rumor is that it's coming to Nintendo switch and that they've already screened as much support Which you know, they have on the whole graph that Nintendo made or that the graphic or whatever But this kind of goes along with what we're saying earlier in terms of the morning to bring in a new audience But here's the thing is that no other Kingdom Hearts games have come. Well, that's not true. No core mainline Number normally numbered Kingdom Hearts games have come to a Nintendo console See people have said that and yet They're also releasing Kingdom Hearts 3 on the Xbox one. I know which is weird That's what I'm thinking though at the same time apparently that version was canceled, but maybe only in Japan No idea who actually knows anymore. Yeah, who knows the Square Enix in general Yeah, Square Enix is really there. I don't know but they it wouldn't surprise me though because with Square Enix is close to Nintendo recently and The Kingdom Hearts series while like you said no mainline numbered games There have been a lot of Kingdom Hearts games on Nintendo handhelds and In switch with the console and handheld portion like I don't know. It just seems like it. It's not crazy I think it could happen Yeah, I mean, I don't see any reason to not think that not think that it will not think that it won't that it Won't come there's no reason to think that it won't come to the switch Yeah, but we'll see like again. We don't 100% know the specs on the power of the switch We can only postulate and Take guesses only knows that it runs Unreal Engine 4 and that Kingdom Hearts 3 runs on Unreal Unreal Engine 4 So that's really about it. So it may come and may not we're not gonna make any promises because we don't know Obviously, we're guessing it might I mean Square Enix is like desperate for a hit right now Yeah, you can you can really tell by the way they're going like really all out on Final Fantasy 15. So That'd be an interesting game to see it on the on the switch But I don't know it. Yeah Well, it's a late several times so better be good. Yeah, but then they released the the platinum demo and it was Awful compared to the dust game demo. Yeah. Oh lordy But yeah, that's all we have for news topics, like I said really not a lot happened just rumors and guessing of things and Somebody asked we have like one guess question on Facebook and one of them was in Spanish Really understand it translate it using Bing. What I did and it was it the person asked Is why can't you Basically, why can't you play the game or why doesn't the game save after you beat Ganon in Zelda games? And I don't know because video games don't do that Well, like it's because Zelda is a game that has a beginning middle and really nothing like Like you do everything before the final battle with Ganon and then that's supposed to be the end of the game That's that's a similar video games. Usually don't save at the end of the game Unless it's like an open world game like Borderlands or something where yeah beat the the final boss And it's like, oh, well, there's an afterstore an epilogue or whatever Um And then we got another question This is another simple one Brandon Murphy said possible times at breath of wild could be shown off again I think that the next time we're going to see that game is at the switch reveal in January. Yeah, there you go Answered your own question there pal. Yep. I think that that's that's where that's gonna come up urban champion 4k January 5th Nintendo switch reveal calling it now Suck on that one. Emily Rogers.  I got high quality top tier rumors. You were just gonna say you were high. I was like, I doubt it. Yep. There you go. There you go We could see some footage possibly at the game awards Oh, yeah, that's a thing.  I mean at the at the rate Nintendo has been dropping, uh Gameplay footage it could come out whatever Because they true because I mean it seems like every other week They're like, oh new gameplay trailer for breath of the wild shows link walking place Yeah, it's like the same footage of like different footage of the same thing so far Can I just can I just like say something about breath of the wild real quick? I I didn't mention this like When the switch was announced and it bothers me. So I'm gonna do it. Um Okay, there was one thing I did not like about the breath of the wild gameplay Uh in the switch reveal trailer and that is I don't know if anyone else is gonna know what I'm talking about But the music sounded like one of those Windows xp remixes that you'd find on youtube back in the day where they would make songs using like the window sounds I mean for the switch trailer in general or just the breath of the wild the breath of the wild section Of the switch trailer. I have no idea. I didn't catch that at the at the beginning of the trailer before it starts playing Yeah, they have some breath of the wild footage with music presumably from breath of the wild and it sounds like Every windows error sound effect like And click like put together in a weird remix.  We're gonna you guys can listen to it. It's in like the first 10 seconds I Go go for it do it do it right there. No, I don't i'm not gonna play it over my speaker Oh, well, yeah, I'll just put it in the video. Yeah, that's like right where my face is Um, we'll play it. I'll pause everything else Um, so yeah, that's that's callin's tangent that i've inserted Into maybe even put in a clip of one of those windows xp remixes So you know what i'm talking about if it sounds like it will do this I told this to bryhard. He used to work at zeldin former and he said Fuck you callin so I guess i'm right Okay, so We don't have any more fan topics or news topics, but I do have Something that I want us to talk about and Collin, I want us to carefully and calmly debate About these topics. Oh So so carefully and calmly So I just want to go around and talk about our favorite game and our least favorite game. Oh Mamma mia, that's a spicy deal. Smeal So your favorite game and then your least it doesn't have to be on a nintendo console. It could be on any urban champions. No, um Favorite game is gonna have to be doom The original or yeah the original doom, uh, I think in terms of Okay, the the the phrase the citizen kane of gaming is passed around a lot um Just willy nilly and as much as I hate that term and as much as everyone hates that hates that term um I get what people mean when they say it because citizen kane was a game Ha, whoa citizen kane was a movie. It was a movie film that I own on laser disc that uh That changed the course of how Movies were made in terms of direction in terms of style in terms of cinematography It paved the way for pretty much all modern cinema that we have now And I think when it comes to video games, there's only two I can think of that actually um Carry that because no one called citizen kane like the citizen kane of movies until like 40 years after that happened So we we can't just like go like oh, yeah titanfall 2 is a citizen kane because it's brand new We we don't know what effect it's going to have on the industry until years from now But I've always thought that If there is a citizen kane of gaming it would have happened to have it would have had to have happened in the early 90s um Right around the introduction of 3d and I think the two games that really really Cover that are doom and super mario and super mario 64 But I think doom just edges it out for being three years younger In terms of gameplay in terms of level design in terms of just overall Just mechanics Doom has not aged a day since december 10th 1993 No matter what platform you play it on even if you play it on the latest like Gaming rig or if you play it on the 386 docks machine or even like the fucking snesport it is still perfectly manageable from front to back and one of the best experiences you'll ever have So what's your least favorite game? Now that's the tricky one because I've played a lot of garbage in my day. Um Gorsh, I don't I don't Because I know what you want me to say You can't say no man's guy.  I mean, I can tell you the worst game I've played in the last three weeks Sure mafia three Yeah, that's I thought that was coming up too. Mafia three is a game that is fundamentally broken not just from a Just the glitches are gone. They're all gone At least on the xbox one version the game is no longer glitching out But the game is still broken on a mechanical level I can't believe they released a game like this in this year and then they say Oh to make our money back. We have to sell eight million copies.  Um, I really don't know What the worst game of all time is because I or at least what my least favorite game of all time because I've I collect video games for a living high.  I don't really know but like That seems to be a harder question for me as as cynical as I am I I'm always hard to define. What is the worst thing to me? Then what is the best thing? Be a mafia through you right now Okay, tangent. What about you ty? Okay, so That's a that's a um, so in terms of My personal favorite not like, you know Best of all time or anything personally I I really See, I always want to answer the latest super smash for this game, but that feels like Oh, yeah, wait, I'm sorry to cut you off.  Yeah, doom doom has always been my favorite before I actually thought about How it is as of like how it stands as one of the greatest games ever but Yeah Yeah, I wasn't sure if you were going with you know, like if you were saying that doom is your favorite or Yeah, no, that's I totally get that. Um Yeah, um I mean in terms of what game I just love to play, you know I I'm a big nintendo guy, you know, I Play pretty much everything nintendo. So I love smash brothers. Um, I love saccharized games in general Um, uh, nintendo crossover developed by saccharides. Like, uh, that's the best thing ever So, yeah, I I love my super smash brothers. Um If i'm gonna not count that though just because I don't I always feel like that's that's like a Like that's cheating. I don't know Um, uh It's so tough because it really depends based on, you know, are we talking in terms of a multiplayer experience? Are we talking in terms of like a a great adventure? Um I In terms of like just in general, um, kind of Based on, you know, all the aspects like that I'd probably have to say currently Kid Icarus uprising. Um, I Love love love kid Icarus uprising. Um, again another uh, saccharized game as well behind that It's uh, it had Great multiplayer on top of a great single player. Um, the the dialogue was great The it looked phenomenal on the 3ds Make great use of the 3d and everything it just it did every it It did a lot of things so right. Um, I don't I love that game I know a lot of people it can be divisive, you know divisive among people With the controls and all I personally didn't have a problem. So I I love the game. Um In terms of least favorite that's that's that's Geez, I don't know I'm when it comes to gaming I tend to be a a very positive person. I don't like to uh You know speak negatively negatively about games much because I figure like, you know Video games are a form of entertainment why I'm wasting my time complaining So I I generally don't I try to find enjoyment from all the games I play Of course, I enjoy some more than others as anyone would Uh, so when it comes to games that I have played and like games that I own and have played At least some of you know more than like a minute. Um I probably have to say Sonic boom rise of lyric I I I own that game. I'm a sonic fan. So, you know, I want to I want to play all the sonic games I I still have not played more than like maybe an hour of that game. Um, it's just so It feels so soulless like I don't know I don't I couldn't I couldn't I couldn't play I tried playing through it with a friend and we had to put it down. It's like, uh, this isn't fun Yep What about you? So this is hard for me because I have a lot of favorite games Um, where does the debate part come into this as well? Well, you'll So you won't you probably won't disagree with my favorite games, but you're probably in this good. Okay Um, so like my favorite, this is gonna sound so stereotypical My favorite game of all time No, no, no It's it's probably it's a tie between two games and one is undertale Oh, oh, I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game that much I know I'm sorry you can grow Um And then the other games like my other favorite games. They're all on gamecube So like like the honorable mentions get like Kirby's air ride. Oh, yes Great game. Uh, then you've got Pikmin 2, which is probably like my third favorite Roll it back.  Uh, okay So there is this flintstones game on the sega master system And it is you know more it is no I have to talk about this. It is one of the most Maddening pieces of like of just entertainment I've ever played just just to give you a heads up of the I'm going to give you the whole game It's only four levels long. Okay Level one. Fred must paint the wall It is what wall there is a wall in the in the flintstone household and basically fred is like well My I want to go bowling and then Wilma is like, okay, but you gotta you gotta paint the wall and so fred The whole level Is is fred with a paintbrush or it's a Little dinosaur. It's meant to be a paper because it's a living he goes to he goes to a paint bucket And he paints a wall He even gets up on a ladder paints the top moves to the bottom paints the bottom Refills the paintbrush moves the ladder.   I don't know what And you gotta bring her back And that's it.  I love that game. It's a good I I play it through like every year like four or five times just because I freaking love that game Um didn't like dark moon as much lacked everything that the original had that made it great Thank you. Um And it's just it's my favorite game of all time. It's amazing. Everything about it's amazing. It's perfect. You know, it's great My least favorite game Um, so obviously since it's a zell informal podcast and I haven't said that no man's sky is a disappointment yet There's my obligatory no man's sky is a disappointment. Um But and you're gonna have to let me explain myself. So I I acknowledge what this game did for gaming and how how revolutionary it was Um to have this this big game come out, um And it was probably it was great for its time. Just I don't think it held up I don't think the gameplay held up graphics didn't I mean my least my least favorite game is is final fantasy seven Oh, and I I just I don't think that that game is is good anymore like it was it's like Oh, yeah, this came out on two discs for the the playstation and it was actually amazing because it's three discs Because it's a huge game as revolutionary. You have like this open world and this overarching story I'm gonna ask you something that fun uh I'm not Don't worry.    It's so much worse No Well, I guess there you go. No eight is worse Seven whatever seven might be overrated, but eight is no Oh Six is better though. So I should play I should play eight and then come back and talk about how much I dislike it And you should play ten two Ten two or ten as well. No, just ten two Okay, because that's that's oh and 13 to fantasy 13 as well or 13 number 13 13 dose Okay, all right Yeah, that's that's the confusing part at least it doesn't get like 365 over. Oh and mystic quest Final fantasy builders explorers All right, so I think that's it for the least favorite As much contention as I thought we would I just always expect an argument with I always expect him to say something No, you have to say actually bad games Yeah, my like my least favorite game is like something or my favorite game something terrible. No, um, I have good taste Listen, like like I'm used to this. I'm used to this squabble of people being like Oh, I have such a contrarian opinion on video games. Oh, yeah, what's your least favorite game of all time? You know I didn't I didn't care for ocarina. It's like wow Get in line I feel like you're throwing shots at Nate right now because that's what he says every time we bring up least favorites. I see Yeah, he's like, I just I still I can't know anybody else does Because then he says well, my favorite cell game is all the two. He's at least he's a man for my heart Yeah, ocarina of time Which is a great game. It's just those are two contrary opinions. No, exactly. I mean, I I love I love zelda 2 I love me some zelda 2 don't get me wrong. It's great. But um, yeah, no, I wouldn't I wouldn't put I'm not that much of an edgelord. I wouldn't put ocarina at the bottom I I own the cdi at the cdi games.  I I can't I can't do that I'm sorry that you had to put yourself through that There you go because you obligatory kizu whenever call it And in no matter what Nate says, I'm just gonna have to title this one like zelda and former episode 24 urban champions Urban champions and kizus like this is not even say anything about what we discussed just those oh and flintstones Oh, no, just call it zelda and former episode 24 granddad Okay, so that's all I have for that but There's like a slight announcement I want to make for next week in case you guys want to stick around So I'd Nate doesn't know this yet. He knows kind of about it yet next next week after our Our favorite games or whatever favorite whatever we're going to talk about in gaming Donald Trump No, no, I want to stay sane Well, this isn't really a good way to stay sane Nate and I are gonna eat a habanero pepper each and then Recite our favorite monologues from a movie or a tv show wait really That's so fucking basic Bring me on I'll have a ghost pepper If you I'll order the I don't know where to I'll order the fucking like like towering inferno level hot wings from my local, uh Uh Place I'd like to get buffalo wings from and I'll and I'll I'll read a book I'll do what I did on the I'll do what I did on the uh the last podcast Uh, not the latin Back on the old zelda informer where if we didn't have enough content we just cut to like 20 minutes of me reading a novel Does anyone miss those I do that was fun You should petition Nate to just get you reading a novel as part of like a regularly scheduled program But yeah, that's that's what my plan is for now um, if you the listener Want us to do anything weird that is legal and doesn't involve getting naked on on screen um We will we will do our best to do it and spice things up each week and make things fantastic and wonderful and great for You guys who don't pay us a dime for this and I I do this for fun.

Five questions a narcissist simply cannot answer When you are in a relationship with someone It's good to take an interest in them. It's good to want to know more about them And it's good for them to be curious about you There should be a sense of openness There should be an acceptance of or receptiveness to change or new ideas There should be a lack of secrecy and concealment Where you can share who you are and They can share who they are and do you combine your resources? To encourage your interest and enthusiasm in each other as time goes by That is how a relationship grows into something healthy and functional But narcissists do not want to be involved in a collaborative effort They don't want to work with you to complete a task or achieve a goal They want you to be under their authority and control They want to be the person who is admired for their courage achievements and qualities They want to be the person who knows everything The person who is always right So they cannot be honest with you They cannot collaborate with you They have to be superior to you They have to have influence and authority over you So they cannot reveal too much about themselves They cannot disclose their true character or motives They always have to premeditate what they're going to say or do Everything has to be thought out beforehand So there is certain information That you will not be able to access from the narcissist Because it would require them to be truthful and sincere Which is something that they cannot do They have to simplify themselves to provide this false image of sophistication So they cannot be honest with you They cannot be open or vulnerable Which is why they would have difficulty answering one of these following questions 1. What has caused you the most pain in your life? If you ask a narcissist this question They won't be able to answer you directly They will bring up some situation where they didn't like someone They will act like it doesn't bother them They will make it seem like there was something wrong with that person They cannot admit that they've endured struggles or pain Instead they blame other people They have to portray this image of being strong and in control As though they have overcome the problems and difficulties that other people have presented to them They will present this narrative as though other people have wounds, but they don't Which really doesn't add up Because if they didn't have any wounds Why would they be so unkind, spiteful and unfair? Why would they be so vicious and aggressive? Why would they be so offensively impolite and bad-mannered? They would have had to have learned these behaviors from somewhere They don't realize that it means that they have been affected or wounded by something Instead they believe that to display their strength They have to deny any vulnerability They have to act like it's beneath them They have to act like you're the only one that has weaknesses When a weakness is actually a strength in a healthy relationship 2. Why can't you admit any of your faults and mistakes? Why can't you admit your flaws and imperfections? When the narcissist makes a mistake They cannot own it They cannot accept that they made a wrong decision or judgment They cannot accept that they misinterpreted something If they cannot deny that the mistake exists They will just blame you or someone else They are so defensive that you will never get to know who they are on the inside They cannot talk about their faults and mistakes They cannot be open about their flaws or imperfections And they cannot be vulnerable 3. Why are you so threatened by my differences? If you display a sense of individuality or free-thinking If you interpret things differently than they do If you have different ideas or preferences They see it as a threat They see it as something that is likely to put them at risk of danger or harm Because they lack empathy They don't understand that other people can have their own ideas and preferences They don't understand that other people can have their own way of viewing the world They cannot share your feelings or experiences They cannot put themselves in your shoes They cannot see life from your perspective They have no interest in your thoughts or feelings They have no interest in hearing anyone else's perspective So any difference of opinion or way of life will threaten them Because they no longer feel like they're the center of attention They no longer feel like they know what's right or what's best They have no interest in your differences Because they always have to be right They always have to be the center of attention They believe that there can only be one correct opinion Whether it's something to do with politics or religion Or how you dress or where you want to travel They have a fixed opinion for every situation And they never take an interest in your opinion They believe that their opinion is the only one that matters They believe that they've got it all figured out They already know how life is meant to be So if you have a different opinion It must be wrong It must be unrelated to what is being discussed or considered For In what ways do you need to grow and change If you ask the narcissist this question Their answer would probably have something to do with making more money Or buying a nicer house or car They can't look at themselves And see that they need to grow or change anything about themselves Because they see it as though That would mean there's something wrong with them They are shame-based people who do everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame So they have to see themselves as being perfect As though there's nothing they need to change They might tell you that they've already changed many things in the past But if you try to explore what it is That they've actually done to work themselves You will never get a direct or honest answer They don't feel the need to change or improve anything about themselves They expect everyone else to change to accommodate them 5. If I cause you so much distress and annoyance Why do you want to be around me Whenever the narcissist is around you You will notice that they're constantly under so much mental and emotional strain They're always angry or frustrated about something And yet they're always around you They're always there to criticise you And the reason for that Is because it makes them feel better about themselves It makes them feel superior They need conflict They need constant arguments and disagreements Because it gives them that opportunity to feel superior These are questions that the narcissist simply cannot answer They cannot be open or honest with you And they cannot be vulnerable So no matter how much time you spend with them You'll never really know anything about them All you will have by the end of it Is a long list of things that they don't like Thank you for watching I hope this video has it with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe If you would like to donate My PayPal link is in the video description Couching inquiries You can email me at couchnetnaqsurvivor.uk Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon


Hello, and welcome back here to the channel. I'm EvilRabbit. We are staring at a Ford ST race car. So we're going to go and see what is faster here in a Gymkhana style track. Grip or drift, for me that is. So we'll be taking this car out. We're gonna be gripping this track, and we'll be bringing out a drift car. I'm seeing which one is faster with me driving. So a little Grip versus Drift competition here for today. If you guys follow me on all social media, I'll just follow the description box below. As always, let's get to it. So we gotta switch our shifter into sequential. There we go.  Don't have a handbrake because we don't need it. So it's gonna be a matter of if we can get through the really tight sections in this car. But we're gonna go full send and see what is actually faster with me driving. Now I know there's probably some Grip drivers that could be way faster than me, but we're gonna see here on this HTC layout one. We're gonna put that on so we can see all the telemetry. So full send on Grip, let's go full send. So in theory, you would think you would be faster in a Grip environment because you're not having to bleed off speed and things of that, but we're gonna try and do this without any penalties. And we're trying to do this in full Grip format so we're not trying to over blow the car. We're trying to follow the line that is designated on this track and not get any penalties or hit any of the markers. This is where I think the time will be lost. I don't know if we're gonna be able to really do this too well. In a Grip car. Oh, the turning radius is not there. We do not have a handbrake. It is not set up with a handbrake so that's kind of a penalty. I'm kind of walking around with the brakes. Oh yeah, this car's turning radius. Not the greatest when it comes to these small box turns. That kind of helped, but you have this definitely hurting our chances for time when it comes to how quickly we can get through this course. So this course is really hindering this Grip, you know, the ability for a Grip car right now because we do definitely need a handbrake because this car doesn't have a handbrake. So we have to really do an in and out aspect. I don't even know if we're gonna be able to pull in on this one. Second we gotta go out and cut ourselves in, pull ourselves back out. Okay, we did manage that. So I feel like drifting is gonna be a matter of how many penalties we actually have. So across the line in the Grip car. So let's see what our time is for this. Go back to pits and our time is two minutes and 10 seconds. That's actually not a bad time. Actually thinking about it when I was running HTC. So now we're gonna hop into a Grip car and see what the timeframe difference is from this to a Grip car. We're gonna grab another Grip car that has a better turning radius, but let's grab a Grip car. So we did bring out a Grip car. Now this car may look a little different. It may look like the S15 and a brand new SDA, but it is left-hand drive with some changes and of course a big old V8 in there. So we're gonna run full set on drift with this car. And we're gonna see, 210 was the time that I completed with the Grip car. We gotta see what we can do in the Grip car. And I might do this does have a lot more power, but we're gonna dial it down a little bit because too much grip or not enough grip. So 210 was the time. Same rules apply. We're gonna try and stay on course and make sure that we are following the same rules as we did with the Grip car, but sideways. Oh man, I haven't driven this track in forever. We're managing to do it without hitting anything right now. So this is where definitely time will be gained. I should have drove this car in HTC series. We're driving that 350Z, but this car is killing it. That would have been a little bit of a penalty, but I feel like this is so much faster and it has to do with that lack of turning radius and the ability to take that away faster. I think I just drove this course better than I did when I was driving an HTC series. Apparently, oh, does that say that we come on a drip? Oh, we should have been third for this section. So across the line with I think a way faster time in this S15, we're gonna go check a look at the actual time. I feel like this was way faster. I could be wrong though. Back to pits. One minute and 54 seconds. Not far off of the Grip car.  So let's go find another Grip car that maybe has a better steering angle and see if maybe we can get even faster. So 154, let's see what we can do. So we decide to bring out something small and nimble to see if we can't beat the Grip score. The little expo, which we do have a handbrake, so we'll be able to get around those tight hairpins faster. So we are gonna be running this, like I said, as a Grip. And we're gonna see if we can't beat that 154 because 154 with that S15 is pretty good, but only 210 with the Ford, which was actually pretty close. So we'll send in the expo, let's do it. We said something small and nimble. Oh, that locks up brakes. So we would've gotten penalties there, but Grip is not really there in the front, but we're still, I feel like we're still going pretty quick comparison to that S15. This is gonna be where we pick up time versus on that Ford because we do have a little handbrake on this car. I mean, we're just gonna kind of take that as a wash on that, so this is not really drifting. This is still, we're gonna go into Grip from there, just quick, tight hairpins, which the expo had a little bit grippy retires, but I still think we are faster. Alright, so we'll push this corner. Oh, that brake lock up. Oh, we're just gonna go running outside to break lock up in this car is unforgiving. So this isn't a very good run. I was trying to do a good run, but this is not the greatest with the Grip level of these front tires, but we'll see what this time is. Maybe we'll run one more lap and across the line. Yeah, that's a huge lock up. So across the line in the expo, back to pits for a time of 154. Huh, I think we're gonna try this one more time and we're gonna try and run it without over pushing the car and see if we can actually beat the drift score, because this car has way less power than a drift car. And if we cannot over push the corners, I feel like we'd be able to beat the drift car and Grip would be faster in this aspect. So not as fun, but faster. Let's go. I'm trying to focus on my points and not overdrive this car. A little straight legal go-kart going on right now. Try to do this without penalties and not overdrive it through these corners. Like right there, a little bit of drift out in the front wheels, but technically it would be a penalty, but oh, I think this is way faster. So for this Grip vs. Drift, you guys wanna see other things like this? Let me know down in the comments. We're actually gonna take this turn correctly. If you guys wanna maybe see all-wheel-drive vs. RWD, promo-drive vs. RWD, let me know down in the comments if we could do more Gymkhana style driving and or do more Grip vs. Drift. Tell me what cars you think I should try in this little Grip vs. Drift challenge. Maybe Grip vs. Drift and same horsepower, but this car has way less horsepower than that S15 did. And we're, I think we're gonna be way faster now.  A 155, so we did not. So it's on par with the S15, so I'm gonna take this one as a draw for today. So make sure you guys follow me and also share me all the trends in the description below. If you like what you need to see more, let me know down in the comments and tap that subscribe button. I would appreciate all the support. And as always, I thank you guys for coming back and watching. I'm EvilRabbit, I'll see you guys on the track.


I'm Tiffany Marcus for Cal TV News and today we're at Memorial Stadium and we'll be getting an inside look with Riley Committee as they prepare their card stunts for Cal's big game against Stanford. Card stunts are a 50 by 50 grid made in the student section. They consist of students holding up cards and different color cards to make different patterns, pictures. We make them beforehand on Photoshop and then it translates onto the student section. The card stunts originated here at UC Berkeley in 1910 so we're the first school to do a card stunt show. Since this is such a long-standing tradition we have a lot of past stunts that we can work with and choose to work with but when something new comes along we can kind of bring out some of those things that they're working on. They started off with actually people using their hats instead of actual cards and then from then it moved on to tacking on pieces of paper on to the stands themselves that students would use and now it's taken over by the student. In each bag there are five different cards. We have a little piece of paper put in every single one of those bags and that explains the color to put up. Through that if everybody follows those directions we come up with a pretty cool looking stunt. There's history of other like controversial or just like a little bit edgier card stunts that happened during Stanford like Oskie chopping the tree. One of the really cool ones that we do that hasn't been done in the past couple years is a script Cal where like the students actually move and like form the Cal script so we're trying to bring that back this year. It's just like a whole sense of community just everyone doing something for the university. It's just really cool to see us do it and then the alumni and all the rest of the fans. Last question. Cal or Stanford? Cal, easy. It doesn't even have a card stunt.
