What's Good.

It's Fevir.

So let's go over some of the stuff from this last week to give you guys your fix..

This week we're looking at Zynga giving us another reason to dislike both them and DLC..

a look at esports and it making some kids into millionairs.. a new Black Desert Class..

a browser game worth playing.. and a dude says no to 3D.. all that.. and a lot more..

coming up.

So this first story.. upset me in a way that very few things do.

Zynga.. the mobile powerhouse behind Farmville, Words with Friends, CSR Racing 2, Crazy Kitchen..

all the games that your girlfriends, sisters and moms are playing on facebook or between

IG posts.

Zynga owns.

And discovered last week.. in the game CSR Racing 2.. people found that a tie in car

from Fast and the Furious was being sold.. at seemingly random prices between different

players.

The prices ranging from $5 to $35 for the same car.

Now.. this struck me twice.. because.. ok, maybe they are doing A/B, comparison research.

This isn't unheard of.. using different price points.. to see what people will spend for

this digital car to help them choose the best and most profitable price point option- but

similar stuff is usually done by survey or focus groups or different markets and is a

bit of a shitty thing to do on a live global platform, especially with no warning or notice..

and so when it was discovered through online communities or clan mates talking about it-

Zynga released an apologoy of sorts.. saying that they were testing a feature- they missed

the mark- they disrupted players.. and all players who had bought the car.. for the highest

price- will receive an in-game compensation package.. those who paid less.. don't get

shit.

Now it's important to remember that when companies say.. we tried something.. it missed the mark..

when they apologize.. a lot of times that doesn't mean their sorry.. maybe sorry they

got caught.. but they'll run the numbers and see what they say.. and if it was profitable

there will probably be more of these types of experiments.. and interestingly.. the digital

car..

ended up at a static price of $15.

Now this was alledegly.. randomly generated prices.. but something that rubbed me the

wrong way... is the idea that maybe in the future- I'm targetted with different offers-

at different prices- due to all this online collected information I'm already paro about

and my spending history in a game.. where I would have this.. almost consumer profile..

that might dictate what I'm targetted with and how much.. maybe going so far.. as a game

knowing I'm more likely to buy red cars.. so car ads are shown red..

I never buy power windows.. so that offer isn't shown.. as their algorhythms are based

on machine learning trying to figure out the most I'll spend and pricing it like that..

very similar to people already having unique google searches and youtube home pages.. as

the internet.. and namely google.. does already have a profile about you..

And I know stuff like this is inevitable..

I've seen the Minority Report..

I know personalized sales and offers will happen.. they do happen now to an extent..

but it feels bad to see it starting in a way that's blatant.. at least ease me into it..

buy me dinner before you fuck me.

Last week I talked about a $10 000 For Honor tournament..and many people said..

that's nothing.. so instead this week.. lets look at the largest esports prize pool to

date, breaking it's last years record.. the DOTA 2 yearly tournament, The International.

At last look.. it was at 21.2 million dollars.

with just under a month to go to push that number even higher.

Last year they had a prize pool of around 20.8 million.. and these incredibly numbers..

are built up through.. proceeds of the Battle Pass.. which is this ongoing, designed for,

feature/structure/cosmetics bundle type stuff.. that runs alongside the game- and offers limited

edition rewards, quests, fantasy DOTA with player cards and predictions.. and as people

spend money..

I believe 25% goes to the prize pool...

So this free to play game is generating with just the exclusive sales tie this Battlepass..

what looks like close to ~$100million dollars.. last year.. the Chinese team Wings Gaming..

took home over $9m for first place..

that's a team of 5 players.. plus organization/manager/coach..

I don't know what the split is.. but even if they don't win any more money all year,

put aside streaming or content creation earnings.. salaries.. etc.. at the end of the International

every year..

there are 5 kids worth a million bucks.

Which is batshit crazy.. until you compare it to traditional sports.. which a lot of

these esports things.. are pulling similar interest and audience levels.

And I've very recently been slapped in the face with the reality that not only are esports

growing.. that's obvious.. but sports sports.. is rapidly losing it's hold on the youth.

When I was a kid..

I wanted to join the NBA and be the next Larry Bird or to be safe and have a plan B... fall

back and maybe play baseball in the MLB.

My nephews are talking about wanting to be FPS pro-gamers and their plan B is to stream.

The times have really shifted.. where these kids don't know Babe Ruth.. but they know

Boxer, Stephano, Hotshot, Seagull.. it's crazy.

And while esports is growing.. and making money.. and stars..

I think while people are paying attention.. they don't see how big this Overwatch League

is for everyone.

The Overwatch league.. is Blizzard trying to create an MLB or NBA out of one of the

most popular games in the world.. but they've received quite a bit of bad press and community

reactions because of their incredibly high buy in costs to create these franchise, city

based teams.. with reports lowballing it at 20 million dollars or more per team.. and

this has caused esport staples to drop out..

Denial, TeamSoloMid, Red Reserve, Complexity.. won't be taking part.. because.. it's just

too much money.

But over this last week.. we've seen the reports that I think at this time.. there are at least

7 confirmed owners and cities.. with people with Ties to the New England Patriots and

the New York Mets.. as well as people tied to esports like Immortals and Misfits.. and

then those tied to gaming as a business like NetEase and Kabam.

Which, especially from those with ties to..

I guess traditional sports.. will not only have incredible insight and experience in

turning a team into a brand that reaches past players of the sport and activity.. but rolodexes

and contacts of other people and businesses that might just take esports more seriously..

and the whole thing.. is just going to push everything up a tier.. the idea that there

will be a Boston Esports team.. is mind shattering.. it's like a meeting of two worlds.. and as

someone who grew up with sports.. hometown heroes.. or having pride in your city even

if you don't care about the game or sport.. is real.

My question for you guys this week.. is what are your thoughts about esports currently.

Do you feel that.. the people involved who have been growing with it.. should be the

major players and it's weird to not have Complexity.. or do you welcome these new investors in Esports

and are looking forward to the next level of this wild ride.

Shifting to Black Desert Online.. because, as I say.. there is always something to talk

about.

We have been teased with the Mystic class.

Now you may remember earlier this year they hinted at some upcoming classes.. one of which

was just a silhoutte.. the speculation at this point.. is that the Mystic.. isn't that

class.. and instead is a female variant of the Striker.

Possibly.. working like say the Ninja and Kunoichi or Wizard and Witch.. where their

playstyle is similar until level 56 and the awakening comes into play and then they play

very differently.

Black Desert responded to a tweet by a streamer by the name of Morrolan that backs that up

thought process up.

On a tangent.. when it comes to gaming video media..

I don't watch or follow much.. for tons of reasons.

But among my only real 4 twitch follows..

Morrolan is one- check him out if you tend to like the same types of games as me.. and

don't like the bullshit weird.. gamer personas or hype, hype boys boys culture that seems

all too common in content creators.

He's a normal person.

Back to BDO.. previous data mining and the timing.. is saying that there will still be

another class released by the end of the year, of course that means in KR and I've heard

people speculate that it will be a Ribbon Dancer..

I was heartbroken when there was no dancer class in the FFXIV expansion after seeing

the trailer.. so I'm not getting my hopes up.. but we'll see.

But I have to say..

Black Desert holding held firm on gender locks.. then releasing a second gender variant of

the same class..

months and months later.. is kind of grimy.. as at this point many people may have spent

money soley because they liked the playstyle of the striker and would rather have played

a female.. but felt confident one wasn't coming so bought, costumes and weight increases..

that won't be transferrable.. surprise.

Obviously- awakening makes them very different and pushing out new classes to get people

to reinvest in news mains.. is basically the monetization of the game.. just usually that's

been with new class.

By now..

I hope a lot of you know about my love.. of the Darkest Dungeon.

Gameplay aside.. the aesthetic of the game..

I just can't get enough of.. so when I get an email about a new MMORPG.. and it looks

like.. this.

I'm automatically interested.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.. but this gets more interesting.

As the game, MAD WORLD.

The appeal.. is that is is completely done in HTML5.

Meaning.. compatible with basically every device.. and playable in browser.

The guys behind it.. have people who developed Metins 2.. which I don't care about.. and

are looking to harness the power of HTML and unleash it's full potential on the world stage

of gaming..

I took that copy from the email directly.

Set to release in 2018.. it's looking a bit like those action RPG/MMO hyrbids that have

been popping up.

Face value it looks very Diablo... and I'm almost enamoured.

I think it's partly because the email I received was so polite and humble.. and then it has

this top tier style.. it's not hard to get my interest.. but this is definitely going

to be something I keep an eye on going forward.

And the last story here.. is bizarre.

When you think of the uses of VR.. you hope people aren't going to use it to marry video

game characters.

Well you're wrong.

Japan will find a way..

I remember reading a story on CNN like.. almost a decade ago about a similar thing.. granted

without VR- but this same type of unofficial.. but, non-ironic marrage to a game character..

and I forget the term I've seen a lot.. but the standard meme.. or catch phrase.. is 2D

> 3D and online.. it doesn't seem as rare as you'd like it to be.

Now this week there was this semi-viral video going around of someone marrying a character

in VR- keep in mind though.. this is an ad for a game.

But more-so over the past years.. there has been a surge in these types of games.. that

are almost not games.

They feature characters, usually women, who react and change based on your interactions

with them.. they are like dating simulators that get more and more complex and deep as

the years go on.. and their popularity is only growing.

Which is a weird, unrelatable thing for me.. and yeah, people might see these types of

stories and it's always in Japan.. but it's similar to the life suzed human doll stuff,

or the pillows.. and this is not happening only in Japan.

It's weird.. but, people are weird.

. . .

Now to end this video.. last week I did a give-away for some SMITE codes.. those will

go out today to the winners.. this week..

I have some costume codes for Kritika, given to me by En Masse- guys from TERA..

Kritika itself.. it's not right to call it an MMORPG- it's self described as an MMO-ARPG..

a brawler.. it's free to play.. link in the description- but more than that- on screen

you're seeing footage from a youtuber by the name of Nocht.

I'll link to his video as well.. for more information on the game..

I'm not playing it or have plans to.. sorry Nocht for ripping your vid.

But that's going to do it for me.. this upcoming week..

I already have Destiny 2 preloaded.. we get access to an early beta.. a couple days early

if you pre-ordered..

Albion Online is just a few days away.. and I'm slogging through Final Fantasy XII one

hour at a time.

Until next time guys..

This is Fevir.

Peace.

THAT POPPY INSPIRATION KYARY PAMYU PAMYU PONPONPON /_\ - Duration: 6:25.

hey welcome back and in today's video yesterday we did a video where we were

talking about how we wondered if TITANIC sINCLAIr was copying other artists or

not there was a lot of speculation it was

rather intriguing we also went over a video where it looked like maybe

possibly Mars Argo was pushed down in the seat also speculation but a lot of

you guys were saying that Poppy's is the whole inspiration with the poppy project

was this hot J pop star named Kyary Pamyu Pamyu it's hard for my southern dialect

to express it but let's go into this and check it out so first thing we're going

to have to do is figure out who this person is because I know a lot of you

guys know that I've no idea so it's a cute - born January 29th 1993 is a

Japanese fashion model and singer her public image is associated with Japan's

kawaii and the culture tender in the

neighborhood Tokyo our music is produced by musician mm-hmm

and electronic music duo capsule her biggest song was pon pon pon which we

did we did say was probably the biggest inspiration for that Poppy's lets make

a video video we're gonna have to we need to figure out how to pronounce this

I'm gonna have to put in the headphones here the the best headphones in the

world all right kyary pamyu pamyu whoa I

was way off kyary pamyu pamyu

so that's kyary pamyu pamyu wow I would have thought kiri Pamyu

Pamyu so it's so it's a kyary pamyu pamyu

and let's go ahead and check out that video which was the main inspiration for

that poppies let's make a video

very good had enough I mean it's so aggravated at these this barking outside

oh my god literally literally got a just got a note from the project assistant

manager of the place I live and they all she always writes these notes these long notes

in cursive it's I'm unable to read this cursive like I look at it I'm just

like with it so then they show up it seemingly random

Time's and I have no idea what they're doing

anyways venting is over let's get right into it

this one says kyary pamyu pamyu is better than poppy from Chris Carter we

are in the comment section of my last video congratulations I thank you very

much I was looking for a specific bit different to put it ah thank you I

wouldn't say that he straight-up coffees he and poppy has both mentioned their

love for Tommy Tommy a super famous creepy cute J pop star many people

nowadays are influenced by her American pop stars in particular that's the

comment I was looking for uh yeah there was a lot of comments that were just

like that what makes this person so influential

let us let us google and figure out more this is from vogue how this J pop star

became the queen of kawaii beauty let us check it out yes her eyes are normal but

you ever say a lot of people will get those contacts to make themselves look

like animes it's really it's really creepy when she first appeared five

years ago with PONPONPON a surreal candy-colored a tribute to street

fashion is immediate went viral it went viral yeah it is quiet and it does look

like this is where that poppy Titanic draw a lot of their

inspiration however namely the idols now iconic look beneath the rotating lineup

of off-kilter wigs curling red ringlets and but that was hard to say

she says laughing too thick founded shops reference Japanese

kekkaishi dolls and anime characters according to Kyary but she adds in Japan

why you guys like like this girl and I can also see why poppy is a it's a big

inspiration from this but this is all this is it does seem like where she gets

a lot of her inspiration because she is all about that Barbie kawaii top style

there's always one other thing that's way more interesting than poppy then

this person then anything in the entire world

Elites Preparing the Space Ark to Mars! - Duration: 3:52.

Elites Preparing the Space Ark to Mars!

Last year in September Elon Musk walked onto a stage in Guadalareja, Mexico and laid out

his vision to colonize Mars with his company SpaceX.

The plan itself is ambitious and Musk hopes to fly 1 million people to the planet Mars

as a sort of 'backup drive' for Earth at costs of $100,000 to $ 200,000 per person, reported

Business Insider.

Imagine, 1 million people need large scaled ground-based facilities, the only question

is who is going to manage, directing and build up these facilities and services needed to

colonize Mars.

Are these �builders� the first groups of people flying to Mars with Musk�s SpaceX

Interplanetary Transport System (ITS) and what about the enormous amounts of payload

needed to build up such a huge facility?

They will send payloads from Earth to Mars capable of supporting the first groups of

people in the base-building phase?

Is that the way to realize a colonization of a breakaway civilization on Mars or the

existence of a breakaway civilization is already well established in space?

Is there a secret space program that is connected not only to UFOs but in some way to a breakaway

civilization too?

Yes, there is indeed such a program.

This �black budget� program is not a simple extension of the normal operations of the

U.S. government or military, much less of NASA.

Instead it seems to be the product of what historian Richard Dolan has previously termed

a 'breakaway civilization' a radically advanced and increasingly separate structure that has

access to classified science and data denied to the rest of us.

One thing is for certain: some agency or group has been operating space vehicles that are

well beyond the capabilities of any known aircraft.

Google Mars image of ground base facilities on Mars?

And even though it cannot be proven, rather than the first groups of people are going

to build up the facility, could it be possible that they already are using these secret advanced

space craft to fly people (the builders) and payload to Mars in order to build up the ground

base facilities for the �rich� breakaway civilization, who will follow after the facility

is ready, using Musk�s Interplanetary Transport system?

It will be interesting to see how Musk wants to realize a ground base facility on Mars

suitable for 1 million people, without

the

help

of �third parties�!

DOES THIS PAINTING PROVE ALIENS WERE PRESENT DURING CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION - Duration: 2:29.

DOES THIS PAINTING PROVE ALIENS WERE PRESENT DURING CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION

One of craziest theories by UFO enthusiasts is the presence of aliens and UFOs during

the time of Jesus Christ.

Many claim Jesus was actually an extraterrestrial visitor and that his phenomenal powers were

that of a non-human entity.

Another crazy theory is that Jesus Christ was actually a shapeshifter.

But this theory is backed by ancient texts found in Egypt that are now stored in the

organ Library and Museum in New York City.

The texts say that Jesus sometimes took the form of an old man, sometimes a young man,

etc.

Another fascinating theory tells of UFOs being present during the crucifixion.

If we look at the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral's fresco of the Christ's crucifixion we can

spot two strange object in the upper corners.

It resembles something like an UFO, although historians say that it could represent guardian

angels.
