![]() In the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, the German government and its collaborators were displeased with Dutch people using Monopoly Game sets with American or British locales, and developed a version with Dutch locations. They were distributed to prisoners by fake charity organizations created by the British Secret Service. Hidden inside these games were maps, compasses, real money, and other objects useful for escaping. In 1941, the British Secret Intelligence Service had John Waddington Ltd., the licensed manufacturer of the game in the United Kingdom, create a special edition for World War II prisoners of war held by the Nazis. In 1936, Parker Brothers began licensing the game for sale outside the United States. The original version of the game in this format was based on the streets of Atlantic City, New Jersey. patent number US 2026082 A was issued to Charles Darrow on December 31, 1935, for the game board design and was assigned to Parker Brothers Inc. Parker Brothers began marketing the game on November 5, 1935. When the company learned Darrow was not the sole inventor of the game, it bought the rights to Magie's patent for $500. Parker Brothers bought the game's copyrights from Darrow. After that night, Darrow went on to utilize this and distribute the game himself as Monopoly. The game was entirely new to Darrow, and he asked the Todds for a written set of the rules. After the meal, the Todds introduced Darrow to The Landlord's Game, which they then played several times. Īccording to an advertisement placed in The Christian Science Monitor, Charles Todd of Philadelphia recalled the day in 1932 when his childhood friend, Esther Jones, and her husband Charles Darrow came to their house for dinner. Cardboard houses were added and rents increased as they were added to a property. Several variant board games, based on her concept, were developed from 1906 through the 1930s they involved both the process of buying land for its development and the sale of any undeveloped property. Magie created two sets of rules: an anti-monopolist set in which all were rewarded when wealth was created, and a monopolist set in which the goal was to create monopolies and crush opponents. Her game, The Landlord's Game, was self-published, beginning in 1906. It was intended as an educational tool to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies. The history of Monopoly can be traced back to 1903, when American antimonopolist Lizzie Magie created a game which she hoped would explain the single-tax theory of Henry George.

![]() I was a big fan of the first “season” of the series (Netflix put up the first two-thirds of the series to watch at the time the anime was airing in Japan and the last third when it concluded) and I’m glad I finally returned to it to see the finale I’ve been steadily working my way through the last batch of episodes of Great Pretender, the Netflix heist comedy anime from director Hiro Kaburagi and writer Ryōta Kosawa. Great Pretender season 2 Photo: WIT STudio Austen Goslinĭrive is available to rent on Amazon Prime Video. Even if you don’t revisit the entire movie, you should at least watch Drive’s opening scene again because it’s pretty great. Plus it’s got a fantastic score and a killer supporting cast that includes Carey Mulligan, Albert Brooks, Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, and Oscar Isaac. The movie looks fantastic and is still the best-looking example of the 2010s neon-aesthetic renaissance that it helped kick off. But don’t let that stop you from going back to this movie or checking it out for the first time because it’s still really good! And sure, the fact that director Nicolas Winding Refn has mostly made strange, impenetrable movies and TV shows since hasn’t helped either. Drive Photo: FilmDistrictĭrive’s induction into the Dorm Room canon and the Film Bro Hall of Fame has unfairly tarnished its reputation. Petrana RadulovicĬriminal Minds is streaming on Netflix. They ended by killing the last dude - the mastermind of the whole sickening crime who absolutely murdered more little girls since then - by beating him to death with a shovel, and while one of the ladies got caught, the other one escaped. One lady’s nephew was killed in a drunk driving accident and his mom committed suicide when the driver only served two months of jail time the other lady’s young daughter was brutally raped and killed by a group of men - only one served jail time, and because the body was never actually recovered and the murder never proved, he got out after 10 years.Īnyway, after the dude got out of prison, our lady gang decided to get revenge, knocking the assailants out and CHAINING THEM TO THE BACK OF SUVS and DRAGGING THEM TO THEIR DEATHS ON THE ROADS. Basically, these two ladies bonded on an online grief forum because the people who killed their loved ones got off scot-free and they were like, we gotta take justice into our own hands. I’m back, baby, and let me tell you, this weekend’s episode was one for the books. Julia LeeĪlone is streaming on Netflix. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget that. ![]() Would I do this if I was also starving and in desperate need of natural sugars? No, I don’t think so. But the highlight for me was when a woman started to eagerly lick a tree to drink up the sap. The show is exactly what you think it is, with people getting sick off of eating bad foraged goods and trying to build shelter. This weekend I watched a survival reality show called Alone where people are planted in the middle of Canadian wilderness with very few resources. White House Down is streaming on Peacock. Because the bad guys in White House Down aren’t foreign, but domestic. It’s a ’90s throwback from the king of ’90s disaster schlock himself, Roland Emmerich - and at the same time, weirdly prescient. Only one of these movies has scenes where Channing Tatum pulls a gun on a squirrel, does donuts on the White House Lawn, and has a plucky daughter that saves the day in a scene too ridiculous to spoil here. Unfortunately, the overly serious Olympus Has Fallen spawned a trilogy and the goofy, fun White House Down did not. ![]() In 2013 we got not one, but two movies about the White House being overtaken by terrorists.

However, users have noticed that using OpenGL makes their load times longer. On AMD graphics cards, Cemu works quite well. In this way, Vulkan beats OpenGL when it comes to Intel graphics cards. On Intel graphics cards, there’s limited support. You can just download it from their website.Ĭemu can be picky when it comes to graphics cards. If you don’t already have it installed, don’t worry. Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 is also required to run Cemu. 4 GB is also the minimum amount of RAM you need to run the emulator, although the developers recommend that you have at least 8 GB for better processing. To run Cemu, you need Windows 7 or higher and at least OpenGL 4.5 or Vulkan 1.1. Here is a quick breakdown of what you’ll need: While Cemu sounds like an amazing emulator, you still need to have the hardware to ensure that it runs well. If you have a game you want to play, you should check out the Cemu game rating page to see user reviews on its playability. It also cannot run games that are too old. What doesn’t read on Cemu, however, are games with complex motion controls like Wii Sports. For each game listing, you’ll be able to read detailed explanations of which settings were used to ensure that the games run smoothly. It has a list of compatible games on its website, which includes a ton of games people have tried. Games That Can Run on Cemu © Screenshot from Cemu Cemu arguably does a better job of running your Wii U games than your Wii U itself. If you have a Wii U but don’t have compatible controllers, you can use Cemu to run the console’s games. Ever wanted to play Wii U games using a PS4 controller? Cemu lets you do just that by allowing you to map your controls for different controllers. This much is a given.īut with emulators, there is more flexibility to the controllers that you can use. Xbox games are played with Xbox controllers. PS4 games are played with DualShock controllers. Play With Different Controllers © Photo by Wii Breath of the Wild, for instance, can run on Cemu at 60 fps, as opposed to the Wii U’s meager 30 fps. With the correct plugins and finetuned configurations, your games will receive a visual and performance upgrade. Depending on the game you play, emulators can boost your quality.Įmulators draw on your computer’s graphics card to render the textures of the games that they run. If you think that playing emulators on your PC will make all your games have the same old graphic quality, then you’re wrong. If you’re not bothered by the graphics of old games, then you should download and try out some emulators. If you’re bored with the games on modern consoles, then maybe it’s time to play the older classics. ![]() The best part about emulators is the fact that they usually have better performance than the actual consoles. ![]() Using emulators, you can download all of the games you played during your childhood. Well, don’t worry, because there are plenty of emulators you can download for the DS. You try to boot it up, but it’s broken now and you don’t know how to fix it. And then one day you come across your old DS and remember all the fond memories you’ve had with it. Let’s say you played a lot of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl on your DS when you were a kid. Play All Your Old Favorites © Image from DualShockers There are plenty of other ways that emulators are useful, though. But if you don’t have a GBA, then a GBA emulator is the next best thing. For instance, if you want to revisit games like Pokemon Fire Red, you’ll need a GBA. That said, the emulator isn’t perfect, which means that some games will run better than others.Įmulators are useful in a variety of ways. Cemu can bring some of your favorite games to 4K definition, making them look more spectacular than before. Not only will you notice improved performance, but you’ll also see a major upgrade in graphics.

![]() ![]() But when Harrison returns looking for his father, Dexter realizes that his past is still out to get him.whether he likes it or not. Dexter is now living in Iron Lake, New York and has taken on a new identity: Jim Lindsay. The new series takes place almost 10 years after the show's original ending. How will this original show end tie into Dexter: New Blood? He heads home and sits down at his dining room table, where he stares directly into the camera as it fades to black and the original series officially ends. With a full-bearded face and a new identity, Dexter is now living alone after everything he went through. Shortly after all of this ^^^, Dexter is seen working in a lumberyard in the middle of nowhere. Photo credit: Showtime But wait, there's a bonus scene! Everyone mourns Dexter, including Hannah who is seen safely in Argentina with Harrison. After a search, the Coast Guard finds Dexter's boat completely wrecked and determines that there are no survivors. He dumps Deb's body into the ocean and continues to sail away. He then takes her body out to a boat and rides off as the hurricane begins to hit Florida. What does Dexter do next?ĭexter returns to the hospital and decides to cut off Deb's life support. While they don't 100 percent believe him, they side with Dexter and decide there's enough on the tape for his story to be plausible. Dexter lies and says that he only went in to make sure that everything was done to code since it was about Deb's death and that he only attacked Saxon as a form of self-defense. Dexter presses the emergency button that he was given as he entered the jail cell and the police find him with Saxon's dead body.ĭexter is taken into a room with Quinn and Batista who look over the security footage over to find out what happened in the cell. Dexter then takes the pen and stabs Saxon in the neck, finally killing him for good. Using a pen, Dexter tells Saxon that he's going to kill him before Saxon takes him and stabs him in the shoulder with it. Dexter decides to go in and pretend to do a GSR test in order to get close to Saxon. Quinn and Batista start to question Saxon, but tempers flare when Quinn starts to yell at him for killing Deb and Saxon asks for a lawyer. Hannah surprises him by injecting him with a horse tranquilizer and she ends up escaping after all. Almost to their destination, Hannah grabs some tea to drink and offers it to Elway, but he rejects it thinking there's something in it and she's trying to trick him. However, Elway sits right next to them and tells Hannah that she's been caught and there is no escape. Hannah and Harrison board a bus together to get away from Miami before the hurricane hits. The doctor tells him that a blood clot formed and likely caused a stroke which leaves Deb in a vegetative state. He finds Quinn, who tells them there was a sudden complication and things went south for Deb quickly. When Dexter enters Deb's room to check on her, he's surprised to find it suddenly empty. As Saxon makes his way toward Deb's room, Batista places him under arrest and he's taken away. Dexter, noticing the obvious distraction, goes after him. To cause a distraction, he cuts the worker's tongue out and is able to sneak in to confront Deb. Saxon heads over to an animal hospital where he forces a worker to stitch him back up and drive him to the hospital. Photo credit: Showtime/Created by Author Where is Saxon now that he's escaped? Deb reassures him that she'll be fine and tells him to go. Before heading into surgery, Deb tells Quinn that she loves him and he is unable to answer her back as she's wheeled away.Īfter arriving at the hospital, the doctor tells Dexter that Deb was lucky that the bullet didn't hit anything important and notes that she will be okay. Dexter decides to separate from Hannah and Harrison as he goes to check on Deb. Knowing that Dexter would want to know what happened to his sister, Matthews calls him behind Deb's back anyway. What about Deb?Īfter being shot by serial killer Oliver Saxon, Deb is sent to the hospital and begs them not to call Dexter because he would stay behind. Dexter, Hannah, and Harrison decide to take a bus out of the town and later take a plane out of the country. Using his badge to seem more trustworthy, Dexter tells a gate agent that he saw Elway leave the backpack and walk away, causing security to take him and all flights to be canceled as they navigate a presumed bomb threat. But they have to pause their plan when Elway suddenly appears, leaving them unable to hop on the plane without being spotted.ĭexter decides to buy random stuff at a gift shop (including a backpack), and leaves them under a seat at the airport.

The Steam version comes with all the DLCs preloaded and adds the option to view all of the game's cutscenes and CODEC conversations outside the main game, as well as replay boss battles by themselves. Get yourself pumped with a cutting edge 11minute mix, perfect for your work out. The Windows version is region-locked on Steam and was never made available for purchase in Japan. The Xbox 360 version was announced in Japan, but never released due to the console's poor sales in the market. The game was only made available for the PlayStation 3 in Japan. This probably would have rendered an English voiced version of the sword unfeasible. The sword was not included in international releases, presumably due to Kojima's decision to replace David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland as the English voice of Snake, since Metal Gear Solid V was being developed at the time. The Japanese release of the VR Missions DLC includes a weapon called the Hebidamashii (蛇魂, literally "Snake Spirit"), a talking sword with Solid Snake's voice that cheers Raiden on in combat. Extra clarification is added to Sam's death scene as well due to this. In the English version, everyone's blood is red, though an explanation of sorts is provided via codec. ![]() This also has an effect on Jetstream Sam's death scene, where he notably bleeds red blood compared to everyone else's white blood, revealing him to be almost purely human. (Source: Metal Rising) Regional/Platform DifferencesĬyborg-based characters bleed white blood in the Japanese release, which is consistent with the setting of Metal Gear Solid 4, where Raiden also used white blood. There is also a line spoken in French, but this is much quieter in the final version. Rules of Nature, the ever-memetic anthem of Raiden's fight against the Metal Gear RAY, is no doubt the most dramatically changed The lyrics were entirely re-written for the release version! The song itself has subtle, but noticible, differences as well.įor Mistral's track, instead of lyrical rewrites, we have a cut segment with entirely different lyrics that leads into the track we know and love from the game After the cut segment, the song is almost identical to the version that made it to final, with another cut segment after the chorus. |
