Waching daily Jun 23 2018

Hi everyonS, it's Wandy and today I'm back with another weekly bookish vlog and as

you can see from my background, I have finally finished rearranging my room and

my bookshelves are now complete. So over the weekend, I wasn't vlogging, but I was

filming me moving all my books, moving my bookshelves and then putting all my

books back on, so I'm going to insert clips from that and I hope you enjoy.

I finished putting all the books that were on the floor back on the shelf. I do

have a lot of shelf space. Right now, I'm going to take off all the books from

this shelf so that I can eventually move these shelves to this wall.

All right, so my bookshelves are now completed. There is this weird empty spot

right here but I'm just going to leave it because if I push the shelf further

in, then it's just gonna block this whole thing so I'm just gonna leave it like

that because this is going to be my filming bookshelves anyways. My bed is

finally moved but I just had a brilliant idea to do this to my bookshelves so as

you can see with this one, I'm starting to tilt it out so that it just looks

nicer and that there's not that empty blank space in between these two

bookshelves. Can we just take a moment to appreciate this because I'm loving how

it's turning out. I think it really like transforms this

area and I'm really happy with how it looks right now. Time for the big reveal

this is how my book shows currently look and I'm so happy with it. I think it

looks beautiful in its entirety. That's pretty much it. After a month I am

finally done rearranging my room. This is what my bookshelf currently looks like

and I'm so happy with it. This was quite a long process because I kept

procrastinating everything. I'm really excited to start filming in front of

these bookshelves because my window is directly in front of me

instead of like having half of my face lit so it was hard to play around with

lighting in my videos but now that my windows are directly in front of me,

lighting should be a lot better and I'm really excited about that.

Today is Monday, June 11th. I work from 10:00 to 5:00 p.m. today and right now,

it's about a 8:26 so I'm about to leave my house in like 40 minutes. Since I made a

really quick and light breakfast, I have a lot of time to chill. On my way to work,

I plan on picking up Till Death by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

I don't have a physical copy of the book I just checked it out from my library so

I'm going to be reading it on my Kindle. All I know is that it's a mystery/

thriller book. I just want to read something that's really fast and

entertaining and typically, that is what Jennifer L. Armentrout's books are, so I'm

excited to pick this book up and hopefully, I enjoy it. It is now about

6:35 p.m. I'm currently working on editing my BookExpo/BookCon vlog. It's

not really a vlog. It's more of a montage video. Pretty much everyone I know has

already posted their vlogs, posted their hauls, and here I am, just beginning to

edit my vlog. And I still haven't filmed my BookExpo/BookCon haul yet,

which I plan to do it sometime this weekend. It's about 8:40 p.m. right now and I'm

currently on chapter six of Till Death. That's about 16% through the book.

I am enjoying it so far. What I know about this book so far is that it follows this

girl named Sasha. When she was 19 years old, she was kidnapped. She did escape the

kidnapping but she ended up going to college far away from the town that she

was born in and now the story is taking place ten years later as she's coming

back home and dealing with everything that's going on at home. That's pretty

much all I know about the book so far so I'm going to continue reading for a bit

until I go to bed. So it's about 5:18 p.m. I got home from work about thirty

minutes ago but after I got off work I went to H&M so that I can buy some

business casual clothes because I have an internship next semester and the

dress code is business casual and I don't have a lot of business casual

clothes so I decided to start doing some shopping for that. The lighting in this

corner of my room sucks but this is basically the outfit that I bought.

Ignore the background for now. I know it's a mess. I bought three pairs of

shoes and I just tried them on. This is a shirt that I got from H&M. It's about ten

dollars. It has this floral pattern print on it. I think it's really cute and then

I bought these dress pants. They're perfect on my waist but then they're

like really baggy in like my butt area and on my thighs so I don't know, I think

I'm gonna go try to return it and try on a smaller size and see if that fits

better. So back to the shoes, I basically bought three different pairs of shoes on

Payless, mainly because the store was having an online sale where everything

was 35% off and the shoe at Payless are already pretty

inexpensive. The total for three different pairs of shoes including tax

was about forty dollars so I think that was a really great deal because usually,

one pair of shoes is like forty dollars, even more than forty dollars. I think I

got a really good deal because I don't really own any business casual shoes.

First pair of shoes that I got are these loafers and I think they're definitely

pretty business casual and I think it goes really well with this outfit. The

original price for these loafers were $35 but I got them for $12. The second

pair of shoes I got are flats but unfortunately, they are a little bit too

loose. I think they're like really plain and simple and good for pretty much

anything. So I'm going to be returning these but they were originally $25 and I

also got them for about $12 and then the last pair of shoes that I got are these

ones. I don't know, I can't decide if these shoes are cute or if they're ugly. The tag is

still on but should I return them or should I keep them? Please let me know

cuz I can't decide. I'm not really a shoe person but I just wanted to have

different pairs of business casual shoes so I bought this one on a whim and I

can't decide if I should keep them. So, right now I'm going to take off these

clothes and I'm going to shower and begin editing. It's about 7:50 p.m. now

and I'm going to finally continue reading Till Death by Jennifer L.

Armentrout. I'm actually currently 64% through the book. I'm not loving it. I

thought I was enjoying it for the first 20% but then the love interest got

introduced and I just don't like the romance at all and half of the book does

have to do with romance. I don't know, I usually really like Jennifer L.

Armentrout's romance I know that some of the romance that Jennifer L.

Armentrout writes could be problematic and I am

aware of that. I felt like the love interest is just very assertive. I

understand that these two characters did used to date prior to the main character

being kidnapped. It is now 10 years later so that's a lot of time but the love

interest, Cole, begins calling Sasha "babe," she immediately tells him not to call

her babe and then the next page, he calls her babe again. And he continues to call

her babe and things between the two of them are starting to pick up really

quickly and I don't know how I feel about the pacing of it. So right now, I am

really interested in the mystery, I just don't care about the romance at all. So

Cole just referred to Sasha as "my woman" excuse me? Instead of saying "my woman" like

she's your property. You could say something like my girlfriend, my partner,

I hate this so much. I'm currently 91% through the book. I

have about 13 minutes left and the killer was revealed and I kind of knew

it. I had a feeling that this person was the killer. I'm kind of surprised but I'm

also not at the same time. It's about 10:11 p.m. right now and I just finished

Till Death. I'm still processing everything that happened but I think I'm

going to end up giving this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

I do have work tomorrow so I'm going to try to pick a book to start next before

I go to bed because I don't want to waste time in the morning trying to

decide that. So I discovered the Libby app, which is basically an

updated version of Overdrive and I saw War Storm was available to borrow, so I

think I'm going to read that because it is the last book in Red Queen so I'm

going to borrow that. I'm also borrowing the audiobook of From Twinkle, With Love

by Sandhya Menon. I have been meaning to find a new audio book to listen to and I

was surprised that this was available so I immediately checked it out so I'm

hoping to start this book tomorrow as well. So it's now Wednesday and it's

almost 7 p.m. I got home from work about 4:30 and I actually did stop by

H&M again. I returned the pants and I exchanged them for a smaller size. I also

ended up buying this shirt I bought two shirts actually. This is just like a

striped white t-shirt but I think it looks good with the dress pants so I

exchanged the dress pants for a smaller size and also wearing these shoes again

because I really can't decide if I like them. I did end up returning the black

flats after I left H&M but I'm still keeping these shoes for now, so please

let me know if I should keep them or if I should return them. These dress pants

definitely fit better than the ones that I got yesterday. It is a little bit tight

on the waist. I also ended up buying another shirt and it's another floral

print shirt. I think this will also go well with the dress pants but it was

like 2 for 10 dollars so that's why I bought these two shirts. I wasn't

planning on buying anything but you know, the sale got me. So to give an update

about my reading. I did start War Storm earlier today. I made it about 10 percent

into the book and I'm feeling ok about the book. I'm not completely in love with

it, which I wasn't expecting because I thought the previous two books were

alright. I'm one of the few people who really enjoyed Red Queen but I think the

second third book just weren't as great and I feel like the main reason that

contributes to me not liking the second and third book as much is because I

completely like forgot everything that happened in the previous books and I

just jumped right in, which is why I didn't want to start Reaper at the Gates

right away. After reading War Storm, I think I'm going to pick up An Ember in

the Ashes but one thing I don't like about War Storm right now is that a

character point-of-view was introduced for a character that I really don't care

about. I just don't want to read from this character's point of view but I

have to. So right now, I'm going to change out of these clothes, get back into my

PJs, and maybe catch up on a few of Booktube videos before

I get back into reading.

Trinh: We're leaving for BookCon. We're all wearing denim

jackets. It's really cute. This... exhibit one, two, wait did I get Kyla? Okay.

So I'm watching my friend Trinh's BookCon vlog and I'm just reliving everything

that we did during the week of BookCon. It was so much fun meeting Trinh and Kyla

and rooming with them throughout BookCon. I had a really great time. I didn't

really do any vlogging. I did gather a bunch of random clips throughout the

week and I tried to put them all together in this montage video and I am

pretty much done editing it but I'm just not happy with how it turned out, so I

don't think I'm going to upload it, but if you're curious to see the things that

I did during BookCon, then definitely check out Trinh and Kyla's BookCon vlogs. I will

leave the link to both of thire channels and their BookCon vlog videos in the

description box below. They're really great people. I love both of them and I

wanted to give them a quick shout out and I just really enjoyed watching both

of their vlogs because I miss them so much, and since I didn't do any vlogging,

it was really great reliving all the experiences that we had.

I am going to finish watching this video and then I'm going to continue reading

War Storm. I'm now 21% into War Storm and I think I'm going to stop here and

go to bed really soon. I really don't have anything new to add with my

thoughts. Hopefully things start to pick up soon

because right now I feel like not a lot is happening. Alright let's see what time

is it. It's 7:30 p.m. It is Thursday. Let me see

where I'm at with War Storm. I was reading on my Kindle but I don't have my

Kindle with me right now so I'm just gonna check on my phone. The Kindle app

isn't updating where I'm at but I'm too lazy to go get my actual Kindle. I know

that I was at least 30% through the book. There has definitely been some

action that picked up but I still don't like the point of view that was added to

this book. Her name is Iris. She was introduced in the third book, but I find

her character to be so boring and I just don't care about her. Every time her

chapters show up, I want to skip them so bad but I just can't bring myself to do

that, so anyways I did make some progress in From Twinkle, With Love. I did start

the audiobook for it yesterday and I'm on chapter 6 so far, which let's see how

far I am in the book in the physical book. Right now I'm about 70 pages into

From Twinkle, With Love by Sandhya Menon. I do like the story but

there are a few things in here that I really don't like. First thing is the

romance. I feel like there is some sort of love square going on because Twinkle

has a crush on this guy named Neil, but Neil has this twin brother named Sahil,

who has a crush on Twinkle, but then there's also another character named

Brij, who potentially likes Twinkle as well, but Twinkle is completely oblivious

to these two crushes. Twinkle thinks Brij likes her best friend

Maddie but I feel like it's so obvious that Brij has feelings for Twinkle and

it's also so obvious that Sahil has feelings for Twinkle as well. I just

don't like this whole complicated romantic situation going on. I really

like Sahil's character. I want him and Twinkle to be together and I just

don't care about the other potential love interest and another thing I don't

like about this book is Maddie, who is Twinkle's best friend. Basically she and

Twinkle used to be best friends but then Maddie ended up joining this popular crowd

and she's still friends with Twinkle but in school, when she's with her other

group of friends, she acts as if Twinkle doesn't exist and then when she's by

herself, she and Twinkle are suddenly BFFs again and I just hate it so much.

Maddie is just a terrible friend and Twinkle is letting Maddie treat her like

shit basically. It really sucks reading about it but overall, I do like the story

and I really like that it's told through letters written to Twinkle's favorite

female directors. It's almost 11:30 p.m. and I made it through 35% into War

Storm. I'm going to go to bed soon. Tomorrow is actually a day off so I

don't have to go to work. It is the next day. It's Friday and it's about 9 a.m. I

woke up at 8, had some breakfast and now I'm going to get ready to film a video

because I am now filming my BookExpo and BookCon book haul. It's about 11:15

a.m. I pretty much just finished filming and I only filmed one video and that's

pretty much the only video I'm going to film today. Filming this book haul took

like an hour and a half. I messed up a lot when I speak and I didn't know what

a lot of the books that I got were about or I had some sort of vague idea but I

wanted to give a proper synopsis when explaining what the books were about so

that took some time reading through the synopsis and trying to form a brief

summary. My room is pretty much a mess now. So this is pretty much the situation.

All the books that I got are right here. I opened some tote

bag packages and there's just like plastic thingies around and lots of swag

as well. So I just imported all the footage into my computer I'm gonna try

to get started editing a little bit. I'm definitely not going to finish editing

today. Later today, I'm going to meet with a friend because we're going to the

movies and we're gonna see Incredibles 2. Super excited. Honestly, I don't really

remember a lot of what happened in the first movie because I haven't seen it in

probably like a decade. Wow, I kind of feel old saying that. That's pretty much

an update for now. When I see my friend, I'll try to vlog with her. It's about

6:30. I just got out of the movie. I'm with my friend, Vivian.

We watched Incredibles 2, and what did you think of it? Vivian: The movie was great.

Yeah I really loved it. It was really funny and now I really want to rewatch

the first one. The movie theater that we went to had reclined seats, which was

amazing because it was really comfy watching the movie. I have lived in

Chicago my entire life and not once have I been in this area. This is at the south

end of Grant Park and this whole area is called the Agora,

which has 106 headless and armless sculptures. Hi everyone so it's now 10:30

p.m. I got home from hanging out with my friend about an hour ago. I didn't do any

reading for War Storm but I did get through a good chunk of my audio book of

From Twinkle, With Love. I have about 4 and a half hours left of the audiobook

which is pretty much like halfway through and to be honest I'm not liking

it very much. I really don't like the way the romance is being handled throughout

the book and how Twinkle is dealing with it. That's pretty much the main reason

why I don't like it very much. I'm not going to read War Storm tonight. I do

have work tomorrow so I'm gonna go to bed. Hi everyone, it is now the next day.

It's Saturday. It's almost 9 a.m. and I'm about to head out to work soon but

before I head out to work, I'm going to finally start replying to some comments

on my latest video.

it's about 5:30 p.m. I just got back from work and I have a package that I'm

going to open. There are no books in here but I did buy some things that are

related to Booktube, sort of, not really?

Alright, the first thing that I got is this thing and it's a tripod and I

bought this for my vlogging camera. So I've been vlogging without a tripod and

sometimes I just want to set my camera down and not hold it but I don't have a

tripod so trying to set it down in certain places is just very difficult so

I bought this from Amazon. It was like 10 dollars and then the last thing that I got

is this thing and it's basically two battery packs for my DSLR camera. When I

film, I try to film at least two videos but since I always mess up when I'm filming,

I always have to repeat the things that I'm saying and that takes up a lot

of time. By the time that I film my second video, my battery starts dying and

so I have to rush through filming my second video or I have to take a break

from filming so that I can recharge my battery pack. So I bought two from Amazon

so I don't have to worry about that. Hopefully these battery packs works

because they're not like associated with Canon. I pretty much bought like a

generic battery pack so hopefully these work well. That's pretty much it for the

unboxing. I hope you guys enjoyed that little snippet. My dad's vacuuming

upstairs right now so sorry if you can hear that but I'm going to take a shower

right now and then I'm going to get back into editing because I need to post a

video tomorrow and I haven't finished editing this video yet and I still have

probably like an hour of footage. So I'm going to go take a shower now. I'm going

to continue listening to From Twinkle, With Love in the shower.

I have about three and a half hours left of From Twinkle, With Love. I know I've

already said it in this video but I just don't like this book very much. I know

I've talked a lot of negative things about this book but what I do like about

it is that I do really like Sahil and Twinkle. I really like their scenes

together. I think they have really great chemistry and I just want them to be

together. I do like all the filming scenes, so seeing Twinkle in her role as

a director I really like that. I just feel like this secret admirer plot is

just very unnecessary. To talk a little bit about War Storm, I read nothing

yesterday. I have read nothing again so far today. So I'm going to try to do a

little bit of reading before I go to bed for War Storm.

It is now Sunday, which is the last day for this weekly vlog. iIt's about 11 a.m.

I have finished editing my BookExpo and BookCon haul so I'm currently uploading it

to YouTube right now. I'm going to get started and begin editing this weekly

vlog that you're currently watching because vlogs do take a lot longer to

edit just because there are so many clips that I have to watch through. It's

2:42 p.m. I feel like I've been editing all day. About a month ago I bought this

wall art of basically the world map. I bought it from Michaels and it was 70%

off and I really love how it looks. My dad is the sweetest and he helped put it

up for me on my wall. This is what it looks like. I think it looks really nice

so I'm now going to continue reading War Storm. This is a pretty big book. I just

checked on Goodreads and it's 662 pages. I just really want to be done with this

book so I can start something different because I feel like I've been reading it

forever, even though I only started this book on

Wednesday so it hasn't been that long and plus, I haven't read this book in

like two days. I did read a little bit last night but I read like three percent

and then I got tired and

*loud stomping noise from upstairs* Brother: FUCK!

Well that was my brother directly upstairs from me,

probably raging about one of his video games that he's playing right now. I'm

38% into the book and I really want to be at least 60 or 70% through. So it's

currently 10:30 p.m. and I'm going to end the vlog here but before I do that I

wanted to quickly wrap up what I read throughout this week. I'll basically talk

more of my thoughts in my June wrap-up but the first book that I finished is

Till Death by Jennifer L. Armentrout, which I gave a three out of five stars.

That's pretty much the only book that I finished but I made it through 75% into

War Storm by Victoria Aveyard, which is about 463 pages. I'm not loving this book

but I don't hate it as well. I think it's probably gonna end up being another

three out of five star read. And then the last book is From Twinkle, With Love by

Sandhya Menon. I am almost done with it. I have about this much left and that is

currently on page 253, so I'm on chapter 19, and unfortunately I am not enjoying

From Twinkle, With Love very much for all the reasons that I've discussed earlier

on in this video. I think it's going to end up being a 2 star read. This week of

reading hasn't been super great. Recently, I've been reading a lot of 2 star 3 star

reads. I just need to pick up a book that's like a 5 star read or even a four

star read because I'm tired of all these three stars.

Hopefully this upcoming week of reading will be much better. Thank you so much

for watching this reading vlog. I hope you enjoyed it and I will see you next

time. Bye!

What If The Kronosaurus Didn't Go Extinct? - Duration: 4:49.

Over 100 million years ago, during the early cretaceous period, there lived a monster known

as Kronosaurus, a 30 foot long marine reptile that you definitely wouldn't want to cross

paths with in the ocean.

It was not a dinosaur, but a relative of the pliosaur, a group of large marine reptiles.

Kronosaurus is believed to have gone extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs, but what

if it didn't?

What if it lived on up until modern day?

That's exactly what we're going to talk about right now on life's biggest questions.

Hello, and welcome back to life's biggest questions, I'm Charlotte Dobre.

This is where I ask you to leave a like, subscribe and let us know in the comments below a question

you have always wanted to know the answer to.

Back in 1899, a man named Andrew Crombie found a scrap of bone containing 6 conical teeth.

He gave the fossil to the queensland museum.

A quarter of a century later, the director of the queensland museum at the time, Heber

Longman, declared that the fossil belonged to a previously unheard of species, which

he called Kronosaurus queenslandicus.

More fossils that belonged to kronosaurus were discovered.

Kronosaurus was named after the father of zeus, the greek god cronus, and for good reason.

It is one of the biggest and most deadly marine reptiles to ever have existed.

Kronosaurus was gargantuan, at least 30 feet from end to end.

It had along head, short neck 4 flippers and a short tail.

Kronosaurus was a carnivore, and its mouth was decked out with many long teeth.

Fossils put these teeth at at least 3 inches in length, some were up to 12 inches.

Interestingly.

Apparently kronosaurus' teeth were not that sharp, at least, not in comparison with other

marine reptiles and prehistoric sharks.

That doesn't mean however that it would not suck to end up in its mouth.

Kronosaurus made up for its blunt teeth with an extremely powerful bite and swimming capabilities.

Kronosaurus' flippers allowed it to swim extremely fast, making it difficult for prey

to escape it.

Once Kronosaurus had prey in its jaw, it violently shook it, and then its powerful bite could

snap the shell of a giant turtle as easily as an egg shell.

Rather than eat giant squids and fish, kronosaurus liked to munch on its fellow marine reptiles

as well as plesiosaurs, a long necked warm blooded creature that ate mostly fish and

cephalopods.

Kronosaurus' habitat was not only near Australia.

Close to complete fossil specimens were found in Colombia, a country that has a rich history

of huge prehistoric snakes, turtles and crocodiles.

One can then infer that Its habitat likely extended worldwide.

It may have also inhabited the western united states because most of that area was covered

by a shallow body of water during the early cretaceous period.

It isn't exactly certain why kronosaurus went extinct.

It was partially because its species was under threat from sharks, as well as a new species

of marine reptiles, Mosasaurs.

And then When a 15 kilometer wide asteroid struck the earth 66 million years ago, they

were complexly extinct.

But what If they didn't?

What would it mean for other marine life, and human life on earth?

Lets say that somehow, kronosaurus survived the devastating impact of the meteor, when

most other large marine creatures didn't.

It would have been extremely difficult for kronosaurus to survive the Ice age.

Back when it roamed the seas, the earth was at least 8 degrees hotter than it is now.

For this reason, kronosaurus would have only been able to stand the waters near the equator.

Perhaps it would have adpted to these cooler temperatures by developing thick, blubbery

skin.

If kronosaurus lived until modern day, its brain may have evolved to be relatively intelligent.

Perhaps not as intelligent as humans, but definitely smart.

And because it was so smart, it would have been an expert at finding and killing prey.

Since Kronosaurus loved to prey on other marine life, its likely that sharks, whales and porpoises

would have been its favourite snacks.

Perhaps larger marine life would cease to exist as we know it.

The mass extinction that occurred 66 million years ago made way for mammals.

Without it, many of the creatures that exist today simply wouldn't.

And that definitely goes for large marine life.

It can be assumed that perhaps the only type of marine life to flourish would be fish,

cephalopods and smaller mammals, that could easily hide from Kronosaurus.

Maybe creatures like dolphins would have evolved to be much smaller than we know them to be,

and would have had to create protective places and dens to keep away from kronosaurus.

That being said, another type of animal would have preyed on kronosaurus.

Humans.

Humans would have added them to their menu, and since kronosaurus may have existed in

all parts of the globe, one can assume that many different cultures would have hunted

them.

This definitely wouldn't have been easy, but specially crafted weapons would have been

invented.

That being said, kronosaurus would have made sea travel extremely difficult.

A 30 foot long carnivorous marine-reptillian would make any sane person avoid a boat trip.

It may have affected trade routes as well as explorers to the new world.

Rough seas were already difficult enough for explorers, imagine having to deal with kronosaurus

as well.

Maybe many areas of the globe would remain undiscovered for this reason.

What do you think would happen if kronosaurus didn't go extinct?

The Most Expensive Shows On Netflix Ever - Duration: 6:41.

It's no secret that Netflix is a big spender.

In 2017 alone, the streaming service dropped $6.3 billion on original and acquired programming

- demolishing the video content budgets of Viacom, Amazon, CBS, Apple, and Facebook.

But the lion's share of Netflix's budget, of course, goes to original programming.

And to do that, the company has signed off on some seriously extravagant series.

But which are the most expensive shows Netflix has ever produced?

We've got your numbers.

Hemlock Grove

American creature-killer series Hemlock Grove was supposed to be a surefire hit for Netflix.

But it ended up being little more than an average show with a hefty price tag.

"Is there something you wanna tell me?"

"I'm about to do things I don't want to.

But sooner or later I'm gonna have to give in."

When it premiered in 2013, Hemlock Grove ranked among Netflix's most expensive shows to date,

reportedly costing $40 million for Season One's 13 episodes - far more than most major

television networks are willing to shell out for even a 22-episode run.

"Your entire bloodline's about to become extinct."

The series received a less-than-stellar critical reception, though it did manage to garner

a dedicated fan-base which ultimately kept the show alive for two additional seasons

before Netflix pulled the plug.

Orange is the New Black

As one of Netflix's most well-known and widely acclaimed series, it's not surprising that

Orange Is the New Black ranks among the most expensive offerings on the platform.

"These are complicated ladies in a complicated place."

According to Peter Micelli, former co-head of TV at CAA, the show runs just under $4

million per episode.

But investing in the screen rights to Piper Kerman's memoir of the same name has paid

massive dividends for Netflix - in awards, and worldwide brand recognition.

"We're gonna be super famous.

Don't forget to smeyes."

House of Cards

At the time of its creation, political thriller House of Cards set a new standard for Netflix

- for quality, as well as production costs.

Former star and executive producer Kevin Spacey once said production reportedly spent $100

million on the first season alone.

"We don't submit to terror.

We make the terror."

As the show closes in on its sixth and final season, sans Spacey, in late 2018 - the series

will go down as a hit for the platform.

Netflix reportedly upped their subscriber count by at least 27.5 million when House

of Cards debuted in 2013 - with the ultra-popular political drama playing a major role in the

streaming service winning their fans' vote.

"We're just getting started."

Seinfeld's comedy

Netflix isn't just shelling out for high-profile original series.

It's also forking it over for original stand-up, as well.

And no deal was more expensive than the one they made with Jerry Seinfeld.

"Would I have been funny if I grew up in Peoria in a whorehouse, raised by prostitutes?

Absolutely.

But this is what I had to work with."

Netflix reportedly paid Seinfeld a staggering $100 million for a pair of stand-up specials,

bundled with the streaming rights to his hit web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

But the platform was happy to pay Seinfeld's lofty premium.

Netflix's chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, told Deadline,

"Jerry is known the world over as both a great TV innovator and beloved comic voice.

We are incredibly proud to welcome him to the Netflix comedy family."

"You excited?"

"I wouldn't say I'm excited, but I'm looking forward to it."

The Get Down

Baz Luhrmann and Stephen Adly Guirgis' South Bronx musical drama, The Get Down, caused

a lot of tension between Sony Pictures Television and Netflix.

According to Variety, the show's two-and-a-half year production saw two showrunners and a

whole slew of writers come and go - allegedly due to Luhrmann's involvement.

A money-burning budget coupled with a lack of actual filming saw Sony get fed up quickly,

but Netflix's Sarandos refused to greenlight development until Luhrmann agreed to direct

the series from start to finish.

"The borough where I'm from ain't the slums.

We got kings.

And that's what I'll be.

My friends and me."

When The Get Down's 12-episode season finally wrapped, production reportedly ended up costing

at least $120 million - and possibly more than $190 million, all in - making it one

of the most expensive shows in television history.

[scream]

But while it was canceled after its first season, Netflix's VP of original content,

Cindy Holland, told Variety,

"We're about supporting our artists and supporting their vision.

Working with Baz and his team was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life."

The Crown

Netflix's historical drama The Crown tells the biographical story of Queen Elizabeth

II - and boasts production costs that would make the real royal family tighten their corsets.

"What do you want, a degree?

No one wants a college lecturer as sovereign.

They want a queen."

The show's first season alone reportedly cost a record-setting $130 million in 2016.

Although show creator Peter Morgan thinks that estimation is closer to the total cost

for the first two seasons, that still equates to a whopping $6.5 to $13 million per hour-long

episode.

Helping drive up production costs was the flawless recreation of Queen Elizabeth's wedding

dress - which cost approximately $37,000.

"We had teams of six people working for six weeks, just embroidering the train and the

dress."

That, and someone had to sign off on a life-size replica of Buckingham Palace.

Altered Carbon

Debuting in February 2018, dystopian cyberpunk series Altered Carbon is rumored to be one

of Netflix's most expensive shows.

"You've been provided with this body, which came equipped with military-grade neuro-chem,

and combat muscle memory."

Based on the 2002 novel by Richard K. Morgan, Altered Carbon remained in development for

nearly a decade and a half.

Originally optioned by Warner Brothers, the show began its expensive march to Netflix's

lineup once Terminator Genisys screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis - and Games of Thrones director

Miguel Sapochnik - signed on.

The exact cost of Altered Carbon's production remains a conservatively estimated $7 million

per episode.

However, Kalogridis told THR,

"That number is really funny.

I feel comfortable saying that that number is not correct.

I would say it's inaccurate."

Regardless of how off the first season's $70 million estimate may be, if this show gets

its second season, it'll likely be breaking the bank as one of Netflix's most expensive

shows ever.

"I thought you'd be bigger.

They made me bring all this backup."

Gaming DISORDERS, Unity MULTIPLAYER & MORE?! - Industry Developments - Duration: 5:40.

From the industry uniting against the World Health Organization to Unity embracing the

cloud, we have the latest headlines from across the game industry.

so let's load 'em up and dive right in!

Sea of Thieves really brought home the booty.

The game managed to hit its three-month sales target in its first day, and according to

Rare producer Joe Neate, Microsoft's Game Pass was critical to its runaway success.

Rare's game was actually the first to be offered through the subscription service's

day-one release for first-party titles, and while they didn't disclose any exact figures,

its known that the game had two million players following its first week out in the open.

What gave Sea of Thieves and Game Pass a boost going into the games launch was the service's

free ten-day trial, which Joe mentioned had a high conversion rate for folks buying into

Game Pass or purchasing the game outright.

It's good to see that Sea of Thieves' lukewarm reception during its earlier betas

didn't drag their ship down, but a good takeaway for developers is that streaming

as a service can raise the tides for you!

The World Health Organization looks to be establishing itself as an enemy of the industry.

It had been proposed back in January that a "gaming disorder" be officially recognized,

and the notion is being entertained in the latest draft of ICD-11.

At this stage, the disorder is in open consultation, and will remain there until the WHO General

Assembly approves the list next May.

The industry is in agreement that such a ruling would create moral panic and possibly lead

to abuse of diagnosis, which was a sentiment shared with the organization by the European

Games Developer Federation, with support from a whole slew of other trade bodies.

The Entertainment Software Association of Canada, the Brazilian Union of Video and Games,

and Korea Association of Game Industry to name a few.

It's believed that the evidence behind this proposal is inconclusive, as was the case

in twenty-thirteen when this sort of stunt was last attempted, so as long as the industry

continues to be vocal about the issue and trust in science remains strong, the idea

of recognizing a gaming disorder should be silenced soon enough.

Valve is in the headlines for something swell this week.

The company has opened a beta for Creator Homepages, allowing developers and publishers

on the platform to customize their own storefront.

These pages will feature a display of the hosts full portfolio of Steam games, alongside

upcoming releases, their top sellers, discounted titles, and software sorted by genre.

Moreover, all the host's social media accounts can be posted, and prospective customers can

follow the page for notifications on future releases.

A few studios like Sega and Telltale Games have already started their own Creator Homepages,

so if you want to know what to expect, you have some references to inspect.

Valve says that some bugs still need to be worked out before it can leave beta and be

available to the masses, but you can get accustomed to the new feature by following the beta testers

today!

The Nintendo Switch's piracy exploit appears to be a problem of the past!

The company has implemented new anti-piracy measures that enable them to confirm a digital

games legitimacy and permanently ban thieving accounts from their network.

When it comes to physical releases, Nintendo has a means of verifying if a game card was

authorized by them or not, which solves the header data issues that affected the 3DS.

On the digital front, there's unknown and encrypted data in certificates associated

with software, which prevents pirates from forging their own tickets, and allows Nintendo

to identify mismatches with the data for easy banning.

So if you have titles heading to the Nintendo Switch, you can rest assured knowing that

pirates won't be plundering your sales on the system's storefront.

Critical Force has seen a bit of a budget bump.

The Finnish mobile developer has managed to raise 6.3 million dollars to expand Critical

Ops: a first-person shooter with an esports audience.

The game saw its debut in 2013 and currently has over forty million downloads, and it's

spent all this time still in beta.

Come this summer, though, the developer plans to have its full launch.

The money they were granted came courtesy of the organization Business Finland, and

will go into developing and deploying a scalable automated production platform.

With millions being injected into the project, the team also plans to build data analysis

tools and new server software to flex their status as a number one mobile FPS esports

experience.

So if you have the good fortune to see millions come your way for an esports-style title,

take some notes on what Critical Force is doing with their funds and consider it as

an option for yourself going forward!

For those who aren't acquiring sizeable investments, asset flipping might be what

helps keep the lights on.

The term has a negative connotation, but creative director Brendan Greene explained earlier

this month that with the length of development on their PUBG map stretching over half a year,

relying on the asset store to populate scenes is crucial.

Communications lead Ryan Rigney expounded upon that sentiment, sharing that the only

way to produce work fast and at a reasonable cost is to take advantage of asset store wares.

While they might prompt a few heckles online, there's no shame in leveraging these services

to cut down on the time and money it takes to build up models from scratch.

So long as your paying for what you claim, it's good business across the board!

Unity and Google are collaborating on multiplayer.

The two companies recently announced that they'll be joining forces to produce open

source tools that'll support the creation of connected games.

The suite in question is planned to include server hosting and matchmaking tools that'll

be compatible with Unity and run through Google Cloud.

Unity's CEO said that multiplayer games have been on the rise, but they remain one

of the most challenging to create and subsequently support, so they're hoping this move will

help simplify the process, save developers' money and allow more games to reach a global

scale.

As you might've expected, Unity will be migrating its infrastructure to Google Cloud,

so if you're a fan of Google, you'll be pleased to know it'll be more than just

your troubleshooting resource now!

Looks like there's a new publisher ready to read your applications.

Digital distributor Libredia has announced plans to enter games publishing, and plans

to expand its team in the coming months to tackle the new responsibilities.

Their COO Stefan Layer thinks they're well situated for the role, citing the company's

strong global presence and wide distribution network across multiple portals and digital

stores.

The company is looking to establish a portfolio of at least six titles before the close of

the year, so whether you're looking for a publisher or a distributor, Libredia is

a company that might be worth adding to your rolodex!

And that covers this week's lineup, ladies and gentlemen.
