Crackdown

"Activate by targeting 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; take control of that monster. While you control that monster, it cannot attack or activate effects. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card."

The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, Isn't Crackdown 2.

Listen, I never really thought that Nintendo would blow the sequel to Breath of the Wild. How could they? When do they blow anything? Even games I actively like from that company tend to actually come out of the oven better than a wide swath of other options in the gaming scene. All that said, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't one part of Tears of the Kingdom that was worrying to me from the start: The Re-Use of the Hyrule map. That worry was unfounded, hell, how do I go further on that? Double unfounded? I bring this worry up, because I've experienced it before in my gaming lifetime, with Crackdown 2. Crackdown isn't a well known franchise anymore, but it was a huge deal for me in 2007. Lots of people only bought the thing because for whatever synergistic reason, it came bundled with Halo 3 beta access, but it was a hell of a game and well worth it's asking price on it's own merits. So naturally, a successful video game warrants a sequel, what interesting new things would the sequel do? What interesting new place would it be set? Nothing and nowhere, are those answers.

Crackdown 2 was set on the same map as the first game, a map with minor alterations, but functionally virtually no changes. To say Crackdown and Crackdown 2 are functionally the same video game being sold twice isn't all that exaggerative of a statement. So naturally because my brain is permanently stained by the late aughts, I was maybe one of five people who held this in my mind when Legend of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom made mention that it was set in the same Hyrule map as the prior game. I didn't need to be worried. Rather than a re-hash of content, or minor alterations banking on you forgetting the geometry of the landscapes, Hyrule in this game is a wildly different place. Obviously there are the bigger examples, Sky Islands, and those caves that keep killing the hell out of me, but there are small things as well. Things that keep every nook and cranny of this re-used landmass fresh and exciting, when it could have been so much less in the hands of a lesser dev.

You'd think maybe a game with candy colored armor for it's guys would maybe have, idk, a splash of color anywhere else? Things as simple as new and imaginative Korok placement make exploring just as much of a joy as it always was. New towns in odd places, and odd changes to existing towns, keep things that could have easily been a re-hash fresh and new. Hell, to be frank, I've barely scratched the surface of what there is to find on the surface, let alone the caves and up in the sky. I was plainly wrong to worry that Nintendo might overdue it on the re-use of the existing landmass of Hyrule. This is one of the most beautifully handcrafted open worlds I've ever seen, regardless of whether you've seen it's same basic shape 6 years ago. Do yourself a favor and explore this world all over again, there's plenty more to find, and it's not Crackdown 2.

THE PILE PRESENTS: X-Play - The '08 Game Developers Choice Awards | 2/29/08

Get your speech ready!

“ORDERS ARREST 100 COMMUNIST MEMBERS HOUSE,” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 28, 1933. Page 10. ---- German Reichstag Building Is Severely Damaged by Incendiary Fire --- BERLIN, Feb. 28 - William Goering. Cabinet Minister without portfolio, early today ordered the arrest of 100 Communist members of the Reichstag, a few hours after fire of incendiary origin had swept the first floor of the Reichstag Building.

Police began making the arrests shortly after 4 a.m. The Communists will be held pending a complete investigation of the blaze, which let night did damage estimated at several million marks. 

Herr Goering was placed in complete charge of the probe. He also ordered the suspension of the entire Leftst press. 

Every fire company in Berlin was rushed to the scene. After fighting the flames for two hours, the fire was under control at 10.45 p.m.. but the east wing still smouldered. The glided cupola above the Reichstag meeting hall was reduced almost to ruins.

Police arrested a man giving the surname of Van der Lubbe, 24 years old, who said he was a Dutch Communists. He refused to talk further, but authorities heard from other sources reports that explosives had perhaps been placed in the burning heap.

Some help working around Netflix’s password sharing crackdown

The overlords at Netflix have stated that the password sharing requires you to setup a Household. DO NOT DO THIS. Once you set up a main household they will ban all other IP addresses using your password. They are only sending this confirmation of household to TV Devices, roku, playstations, xboxes.  HOWEVER if you “do not have a household with a tv.” I.E use a laptop, there should be no message asking you to confirm and all should be good. it also says they will designate a household after 30 days if you do not confirm one, so I am unsure if this will hold, but for now do not set up a “Household” with netflix. If you have any potential long term solutions, GET In the Comments
