01) Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun (32min HD video of the cancelled successor to Soul Reaver)

What a shame that this was cancelled…

…I forget the name of the engine…but this is clearly the same game engine used in the Mordor/Arkham games.

I enjoyed Shadow of Mordor, a lot…which is crazy, because I haven’t been that big on action RPGs, over the years…but it’s a ton of fun, slaughtering Orcs.

…The Batman series I just recently purchased the set on sale…I’ve played the first a bit…and I’m looking forward to playing through the entire series.

Dead Sun looks like it would have been fun…and they badly need to get the Legacy of Kain back off the ground…the main storyline has been languishing in limbo, since 2003…for crying out loud…They need to at least complete that.

It’s crazy to know how many games were originally planned in this franchise [at least ten]…realizing that at least half of them got canceled…The LoK universe was supposed to have been much wider.

Blood Omen was a wonderful game [one of my all time favorite games]…total joy to play…

…It was the Soul Reaver games that killed the series, in my opinion…As games go…they were too big of a change from the first official release…and the fighting/puzzles were mind numbing…We went from a beautiful, dark “Zelda” like game…to a 3D world, where you had to be jumping and landing on narrow platforms…and dying when you fail…and fail…and fail…and fail…I was no good at this, and quickly learned to hate these games.

To my mind…there’s only been one good Legacy of Kain game released…and it was the first one…Though, curiously…there was a predecessor that never got released.

I wish they would have carried on the primary storyline, through games more like the first Blood Omen.

All the same…I probably would have purchased Dead Sun.

Caring for Babies and Children Who Die…

01) Caring for Babies and Children Who Die

“A funeral director’s perspective on caring for babies and children.”

Some children do experience the ugliness of this world, before they die…They’re not all naïve…My one quibble…

I think I understand about the “better off with this death, than a worse death later” point…or having to terribly suffer in life, and being released from that future.

I guess…

…I decided to share this more for the portions with the discussion about the free services…and the portion about allowing relatives to hold and interact with the child.

It’s a little known fact, that people can care for their own dead…so long as they follow the regulations…

…In addition, some funeral homes welcome the relatives in…to be part of preparing the body…to an extent, anyway…I’m sure they send them home, before an embalming.

Bernie Sanders Under Fire For Comments On Race…

01) Bernie Sanders Under Fire For Comments On Race

“Bernie Sanders gave an interview and his comments on racism have stirred up unnecessary controversy.

But for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the explanation was simple. The candidates who underperformed weren’t progressive enough; those who didn’t shy away from progressivism were undone, in part, by “racist” attacks.

‘I think you know there are a lot of white folks out there who are not necessarily racist who felt uncomfortable for the first time in their lives about whether or not they wanted to vote for an African-American,’ Sanders told The Daily Beast, referencing the close contests involving Andrew Gillum in Florida and Stacey Abrams in Georgia and ads run against the two. ‘I think next time around, by the way, it will be a lot easier for them to do that.’

Sanders wasn’t speaking as a mere observer but, rather, as someone who had invested time and reputation on many of the midterm contests. The Vermonter, who is potentially considering another bid for the presidency in 2020, mounted an aggressive campaign travel schedule over the past few months and endorsed both Abrams and Gillum. He also has a personal political investment in the notion that unapologetic, authentic progressive populism can be sold throughout the country and not just in states and districts that lean left.

How the #MeToo Movement Helped Create a Script for False Accusers…

01) How the #MeToo Movement Helped Create a Script for False Accusers

“The #MeToo movement, along with other previous movements and hashtags, has opened up vast resources online that help victims of sexual assault seek justice, network with allies and other survivors, and recover emotionally from their trauma. This is all to the good. But as Chloe’s case helps demonstrate, these same resources can also be used as tools to create a realistic backstory out of whole cloth.In 2016, a young British woman admitted, after just a few minutes of cross-examination at trial, that she had manufactured a sexual-assault complaint against her father, using the lurid plot of Fifty Shades of Grey as her source material. The father might well have been convicted if he hadn’t mentioned to his lawyer in passing, just a day before trial, that his daughter’s favorite book was, by his recollection, “about a millionaire who takes a young woman under his wing and ‘teaches her about art.’”

Likewise, if Chloe hadn’t promoted her interest in sexual-assault prevention on social media and recorded videos about her activism, how would the evidence in her case have come to light? The prosecutor and police reportedly didn’t research any of this in detail before the case went to trial; and when issues were raised by the defense, the Crown made no effort to examine or provide exculpatory evidence. Indeed, the court transcripts indicate that the prosecutor’s behavior was so outrageous that the judge warned about possible contempt charges. Yet this episode produced no social-media outrage, despite the fact that a likely innocent man might easily have gone to jail.

And then there is the matter of statistical recording, a subject that has garnered great interest in the #MeToo era. How will the outcome of this trial be officially recorded? By official Canadian measures, it will be classified as “withdrawn or dismissed charges”—a category for “cases where all charges were withdrawn by the Crown (prior to the entering of a plea by the accused) or dismissed by the court. These decisions all refer to the court stopping or interrupting criminal proceedings against the accused.”

Which is to say: To the extent that the outcome will become known to the public at all, it will be classified as an incomplete trial. It won’t be recorded as a false accusation. Just the opposite, in fact: Journalists who report in this field will cite this data point as an instance of injustice to sexual assault victims.

The #MeToo movement has drawn appropriate attention to historically ignored injustice. Thousands upon thousands of real sexual-assault survivors have come forward to tell their stories and seek justice. But all movements, no matter how virtuous in intent, open up unintended misuses of their cause. In this respect, #MeToo is no different. Web sites such as Project Unbreakable, notwithstanding the good intentions behind their creation, can serve as a resource kit for dishonest complainants. And in such an environment, the emotional and political reflex that leads us to automatically “believe the victim” will sometimes cause us to cheerlead the imprisonment of innocent men.”

Yes, Georgia’s Governor Election Was Rigged By Republicans & There Is Proof…

01) Yes, Georgia’s Governor Election Was Rigged By Republicans & There Is Proof

“The long lines and packed precincts in Georgia on midterm election day were not an accident – that was exactly what Republicans wanted to happen because they knew that it would cost Democrat Stacey Abrams votes while giving some much-needed aide to Republican Brian Kemp. More than 1,500 voting machines have been found that were locked away, voting machines that could have easily prevented the long lines and hours-long wait times. The state lied about why these machines were locked up, and Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what really happened.

Citizens Prosecution of Alison Saunders Announcement…

01) Citizens Prosecution of Alison Saunders Announcement

Thanks to feinmann0!

“On Wednesday 31st October 2018, Alison Saunders’ final day as the UK’s Director of Public Prosecutions, David Pattinson’s Atlantic Future (dpaf) announced a ‘Citizen’s Prosecution’ of Alison Saunders. Britain’s ‘Dream Team’ of falsely accused men gathered at the event to announce their Citizens Prosecution against Alison Saunders for repeated criminal conduct against British men, carried out during her tenure as Head of the Crown Prosecution Service. Her prosecutions of these men were wholly malicious in nature and and she manipulated evidence to achieve unjust outcomes. This is the announcement made by David Pattinson.”

Alison Saunders to be prosecuted by the British people led by a dream team of the falsely accused including: David Pattinson, Mark Pearson, Ade Samuels, Jeffrey Ketland, Jonathan King, Johnny Fox, Patrick Graham, Mike Buchannan, Christopher Ferris, Samuel Armstrong, Danny Kay, Carl Baxter and many more!”

I really do wish this Citizen’s Prosecution success in achieving its aims. The UK justice system has been weaponised and used against men, and Alison Saunders has undoubtedly been the Queen Bee directing attacks from her male-hating feminist hive.”

This is awesome!

Those people who parasitically live and thrive off of the torment and destruction of Good People, must be brought to justice…They must face true justice…

…What they spend their lives doing, is as pure an evil, as evil comes.

I fully support bringing these types of people before a court, or tribunal…or, a court of the people.

Someday…this is going to be a reality, for the vast span of inhumane crimes [and derelictions of legal protections], aimed at MAPs, by members and servants of the government.

Someday…this wickedness will be atoned for…there will be deep consequence.

…And if I am wrong…then likely these people and their wickedness, will have driven the human species and it’s social structures straight into the ground…probably into total annihilation.

These people are too stupid, mean, self centered and cruel, to ever avoid turning the potential of good in what we have, into total shit.

We are governed…tormented, abused and raped, by the worst predatory specimens, which the human species has to offer.

01) Corporate Dems Weaponizing Age In 2020

“It’s a question some Democrats are pondering as the 2020 presidential election inches closer: Can their party represent change when three of its top candidates are not only familiar faces, but people in their retirement years?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) will enter her 70s in June. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is 77. Former Vice President Joe Biden will turn 76 later this month.
