  1. I should not take this amount of glee is another’s dudes empire coming crashing down butttt. I absolutely am and will. Mr Beast is indeed, a beast. And a condemnable one at that.

  2. Yeahhh. My first job was antique restoration and frankly this disgusts me. Talk about artifical scarcity.

  3. Your last video made me feel kinda bad for the people behind Cyberpunk 2077. Even the top dogs but then again that's what due diligence is for at the corporate level. They should have made sure Quantic Labs were delivering the service they were paying for.

  5. Welp. As much as I like the internet sometimes I do think it was a mistake.

  7. This. This right here. If they wanted diversity but also wanted to respect the lore they could have followed up on the blue wizards who were sent to fight the dominion of Suaron over The Easterlings. But nope, all of Middle Earth is diverse now. Accept it biggot. Or at least that what it feels like to me. Also the whole black elf thing. I'd say disrespectful to Tolkiens work but fair enough but black dwarfs? Nah man, why would something that lives underground exhibit high concentrations of melanin? It's fantasy so does not matter? Well I disagree given all good fantasies are grounded hence dwarfs in Middle Earth being white and Haradrim and Easterlings black and brown. Sorry but thats immersion breaking and just reminds me of a modern woke world gone mad. I knew this was going to happen one day to my beloved LOTR but by the light of Eareindels Star, this Amazon series would be unpalatable to even Ungoliant.

  9. Sounds a "bit" illegal. Sorry, I'll see myself out.

  10. Can we just stop and point out that burning books is kinda, ya know, goosestepping territory? Even if just for money, it's still goosestepping on history.

  11. Hmmmm. There’s a difference between elemental iron and bio-available iron. I have my questions over which kind of iron is being used to fortify cereals.

  12. Nice Intro, gave me legit old skool documentary vibes.

  13.  @UpperEchelon  I warn you now, the new ads I have seen start with some cringe inducing paid actors doing a dad trying to escape the family skit. And then the kind of gameplay footage you played showed as opposed to the numbers and towers game play I'd seen in ads hitherto.

  14. Remember Bioshock? Remember the first boss? Yeahhhh. There are to many doctors that think like that while also willing to accept money from anyone for anything. Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath? Oh yeah. Modern Ethics replaced such old timey notions…

  15. I'm playing System Shock 1 right now and I have to agree. According to most outlets and even some individual gamers it is something that one simply cannot be played with any satisfaction in this day and age and I'm like. Did you press E on the enhanced version? Or did you just glom along with the retail DOS version or something cos god damn am I having fun hunting down those audio logs and leaning round corners like no other game has ever let me. Let alone the atmosphere which puts Bioshock's head in a toilet and flushes the chain. Sure the graphics are dated to the point of count the pixels but who cares when the gameplay still holds up? Which it most certainly does in my humble opinion. So yeah, in conjuncture with the title of this upload I thought I would just throw that out there and what with the 2020 slated System Shock remake by the OG devs; here's to Shodan 2.0 from someone belonging to the age group that should have played System Shock but did not until 2019. Sometimes I wonder why I am even thinking of getting a new high end PC given the amount of old school fun I am having lately lol. So maybe it's just nostalgia blinding me regarding System Shock 1 and 2 but either way. Fuck game journos. They are as bad as the likes of CNN (Criminal News Network) and the BBC (Biased brainwashing Corporation).

  16. Hella glad to see GSC responding quickly to player feedback regarding NFTs. I loved STALKER that much my avatar is the result of me getting a 6 hour long tattoo stalker themed tattoo and honestly I'd have refused to buy stalker 2 if they did NFT bullshit. What happened to traditional full retail release GSC :P

  17. The best part about gamergate is most people still don't know it probably went further than just journalistic malfeasance. You've heard of game theory, how about gamification or Skinner Boxes? Yeah well there's some who point out the timing of gamergate and the role out of things like Common Core teaching and app/social feed/dopamine feedback likes; dominated lives. There's a rabbit hole to go down of which the likes of Mr Metokur or Anita Sarkesian don't even feature and amounts to social conditioning for digital skinner boxes being covered over by muh gamergate. Bait and switch, divide and conquer, Hegelian Dialects. That kinda stuff and they are still using gamergate to this day to push dystopian nonsense. I wonder if gamergate will ever get a legit documentary as opposed to the surface level E-drama stuff that normally gets focused on. Oh and it really boils my piss that anyone can claim that Anita/Harley were victims in that episode. Fuckers ended up speaking at the UN ffs. Cos that don't show where the rotten money is or the agenda lies.

  19. Are you telling me shorts got smoked? As someone that's still flipping burgers for a living but also got quite some risky investment knowledge, you just love to see it. The shorts getting liquidated by an unexpected spike that is however. I feel sorry for the bag holders...but then again I'm down to 3 investments in UK AIM market commodity focused speculative punts. So yeah. I'm not against the notion of shorting as it means even the likes of wage cagies like myself can bet against a company making mistakes but the way shorts are done in the age of AI, hedge funds, Fractional Reserve Banking, et al. I dunno. Coordinated springs to mind. Should shorting against everything except main market listed indices,forex,commodities,crypto etc be outlawed? That is a question I ask myself as an erstwhile investor as opposed to trader or shorter. Also can I just say since your mobile games false ad videos I have noticed the first game you referened, Hero Wars I believe, has entirely dropped the problematic ad footage in question and gone with what the majority of gameplay will look like. Upper Echelon appears to be affecting real world change and to that I say bravo.

  20. You think it’s just SBI? Or gaming? Nah m8. This runs deep. So deep that the bedrock is blacker than obsidian.

  21. Lol, I’m old enough to have being there for the heady gaming days of 2007-08 but also enough to have become a worker. Bioshock. STALKER. Crysis etc. Well we also know how the the gaming industry thought it would be A okay through the 08 recession. Even a younger me realised an entertainment industry dependent upon buying the latest product would not fare well in recessionary times. So yeah. Looks like the gaming industry is about to make the same mistake. Except this time as opposed to genuinely quality IP largely bug free, no micro transaction etc etc they are offering. Well. Buggy monetised dross. Enjoy the economic fun times people.

  22.  @andrewgarrett3555  one big problem with your Critical Race Theory/postmodern take on ancient biological delineation that has being expanded into clear and defined objective categories of taxonomical denomination; that is Tolkien said precisely jack and shit about black dwarfs. Let alone Elves or Hobbits. Accept it. You are condoning cultural appropriation because it is in a direction you agree with.

  24. I know right, I've just hit my first ever thousand hours played on a game and it's an Indie title called Noita. Cost me like £15. Mfw people are paying close to 100 bucks for cookie cutter triple A shite that becomes stale by the ten hour mark let alone 100 or 1000.

  25. Well, this looks awesome. Like Battlefleet Gothic but more without the 40k stuff and a better depicition of naval warefare. RAMMING SPEED! Full broadside stern and aft on the way in! If it has that kind of mechanic I'm all in on this game. Also any one man operation gets my respect when they are putting triple AAA devs and pubs to shame.

  26. So I did some CFD trading in 2019 and 2021. First time round I nearly broke free of the wage cage but flush with success I took the brakes off re my account managers advice. As in I had not followed it until I found success on my own. Guess wot? Lot it all on an over leveraged gold position that went south faster than my margin could allow. 3k euro investment nearly became 9k euro until it didn’t. Second time round I was building up a measly 75 dollar investment as a side hustle. Again the account manager kept pushing me to do this and that and I’m like nah mate. I’ll just do commodity focused plays with an occasional forex punt here and there. I got to 170 odd dollars in a few weeks but, well. My partner nearly died of the commie coof. So the CFD account went on back burner much to the annoyance of my “expert” account manager who told me I’m on my own, wish I’d never took you on (real professional lmao). Since then I’ve had almost 1.5 years worth of phone calls attempting to convince me a “rogue trader” (40k fan here, top kek) has traded in my name and there is x thousands of pounds in this CFD account via crypto trading. Sounds good right? Well if you just make a payment to authenticate the account of 500 British sterling pounds we can release the frozen account funds to you. Too good to be true amma rite? But anyway. Be careful about not only losing your money to scammers, be careful about your number falling into their possession. Best part is the fuckers will be screwed if I change my phone number. Let’s just say I have reason to suspect it’s not entirely BS. I was headhunted after to do CFD trading in Cyprus. Cos, well, some of commodity focused tips given to a forex focused account manager made a lot people a lot of money in that Cyprus based office. So basically I used an old contact to find out that it’s likely someone did trade in my name only to get locked out of the account and there one point of contact with me a mobile telephone number and they are desperate to get me to do something that would allow them to free those funds. I even once took one of these scam calls to the point I did a screen share session (virtual machine of course). The live CFD account really did appear to have 9.6k GBP worth of profits from an initial stake of 75 dollars. In conclusion. I quite confident that I do have some funds legally in my name out there but quite honestly. Even as a wage cage that has almost broken free a couple times via traditional stonks and CFD trading; I take satisfaction in knowing there is a boiler room out there trying to get me to fall for their shit. Also kudos to anyone who read all that. None of my friends and family have ever done stonks so as much as they get scam calls, they don’t get a coordinated scam campaign. Also I’m too stubborn to change my number. It’s being the same since 2009 ffs. My patience is greater than their greed for what is not even 10k of capitol lmao.

  27. I'd also say the Eidolin influences Tolkiens work. To me it's basically Tolkiens version of an epic poem for the Anglo Saxons but don't forget all the Danesmen who settled amongst the Anglo Saxons, they played a massive part in English history by being pretty balla mercernaries for various kings,lords, barons, earls etc. Even became such things themselves. EG Lord Uthred. A pretty interesting real world character that has informed many a legend through the ages.

  31. By the light of Arnor, this shall not pass.... I too have being a LOTR fan since I was about ten, think it was 11 in my case. Either way despite having Prime I refuse to indulge this dogmatic driven drivel. This is not about respecting the cannon but forcing it to fit a woke modern mold while making money along the way. Also. Cultural appropriation anyone? I mean, I don't care but I can still hold hypocrites feet to the fire when they blackwash something like Tolkien's universe. Also who want's a bet we get multiple sex scenes and probably inter-species one's at that. This is not Game of Thrones and its not what people want from a LOTR experience if you ask me. Can't we keep at least one franchise somewhat wholesome?

  32. Echelon I care about the race stuff because it's reached a point wherein as an Englishman I am expected to accept black depictions Ann Boleyn. It's getting to a point wherein they are actively blackwhashing history so yeah. I'll push back against it. It'd be like if Wakanda suddenly had their lead roles played by whitey. There would be outrage and tbh I agree. Characters should not be viewed as something that can be just race swapped. It's lazy AF if you ask me.

  33. Well, this sounds like modern day eugenics. We all know there are rich and powerful people that want population reduction so are we really surprised that end yourself kits are a thing on amazon? Not that I am saying that’s fine, it’s not. But this rather depressingly does not surprise me. More so when the powers that be seem determined to ensure everyone barring them suffer a pretty lacklustre life thereby reinforcing the attitude of just end it. Well as much as my low wage existence sucks I plan on being being around longer than the Schwabbs of the world.

  34.  @iyziejane  True that but given what we now know about Quantic how much did the BOD of CDPR actually believe their own shite? Maybe they really thought the ads were representative. Although that's a stretch admittedly. Either way those poor devs. I 'member the days were there was active debate over what was more important, gameplay or graphics. Seems like in triple A graphics always wins so all those devs having their time taken up fixing graphical nonsense as opposed to game breaking stuff. Maybe they, the devs, failed to properly report to management and before you know it it's all snowballed into mound of shit that has to be released to the public at some point and no amount of play testing gonna save people from being covered in it. Shame, even I who had my hype for anything die long, long ago; even I felt a glimmer of hype over Cyperpunk. As is my only enjoyment came from laughing at the over all dumpster fire play out. But this Quantic thing seems like a sad twist that frees CDPR from some culpability in a missed opportunity for a modern blockbuster RPG in the Dues Ex mold as opposed to the Fallout 4 mold.

  35. Well. Call me old fashioned but you one sad sack O shite if you use a chatbot for some kind of human interaction. And I say that as someone that has had some sad moments in life and spent quite some years in counselling so as brazen as this may seem. If you lose someone and go to the length to create a facsimile of them too interact with, you seriously need to talk about that shit. Cos whatever that is is not dealing with it. Christ almighty it's like digital necromancy ffs. They are worth more than that, you are better than that. I'm only 4 minutes in and I'm dangerously close to reeing over here.

  36. This sounds like some Nuremberg Code breaching shit. Ie there can be no mass experimentation on a given population. Seems to me the gamer scene goes well beyond just Skinner Boxes these days. Rather Orwellian stuff tbh.

  37. Imagine thinking you own someone elses' IP because you bought an early example of said IP. Yeah. It don't work like that and if it ever does I'll nope out on my own personal epic I've sat on longer than I care to realise just now. Whenever I mention it to my mate who likes books he does the Stewie Griffon ripping on Brian thing to me. Lol. Inspires me to at least not forget a yarn that's been in my head since I was 14. I'm 34 now. Well shit. 20 years since I came up with the idea.

  41. G4TV had a good thing going that could have easily been rebooted and all they needed to do was not be a platform for "the message" (read in Critical Drinker tones). That's it, light tits N ass, some eye candy for the ladies and lots of pop culture and video games presented by informed hosts. But they don fucked it up (read in AngryJoe tones). God fuckkkkking speed. (Razorfist style).

  43. Wait, does this mean I can once again enjoy full lobbies in Titanfall 2? Happy days indeed. Titanfall 2 is one of the greatest FPS singleplayer campaigns I’ve ever played and I’ve played FPS games since OG Doom so seen my fair share. Not only that but for someone that is laregly meh on multiplayer (that is not old school split screen/LAN) I also heartily recommend the multiplayer.

  44. Hold up, does this mean that a couple of shitty QA outsource companies along with lack of due diligence by companies engaging their services has led to the shitfest AAA gaming scene we know and loathe these days? Well fuck.

  45. Call me old fashioned but the fact someone used technology to indulge in some serious denial of reality is disgusting to me. The fact it’s basically digital necromancy that I would argue violates the NAP of the person “resurrected”, is just the messed up cherry on top. And of course it ends up overly sexualised. I’m glad that unlike most millenials I hate spy phones and “apps”. Nah mate, their just programs repackaged to sounder fancier to people who know little about digital infrastructure.
