Yuna finishes off Seymour and his minions by learning the Ga spells a bit too early

WORLD'S MOST ANTICIPATED GAME

 Do you know what's the most anticipated and hyped video game in the world is? Well let us tell you about it in this post.

No gamer in this world is unaware of a video game franchise know as Grand Theft Auto. The first game in the franchise was published on the year 1997 an was a huge success. The success resulted in a sequel in 1999. The World of Grand Theft Auto was revamped and was given a huge overhaul with the release of the next installment in the franchise know as Grand Theft Auto 3. Not only it was a enormous success but it also created awe and buzz in the video game industry with its new 3D model in world rendering compared to its predecessors. Open world mechanics were implemented and improved, gameplay was revamped as it took the series of grand theft auto into a traditional trend and a cult phenomena. The gigantic success of this resulted in incredible sequels being produced and released in the following years after GTA 3. Rockstar Games the Creators of Grand Theft Auto thus gained the world's attention and became one of the best if not the best video game developers in the world. In the subsequent years many Grand Theft Auto Titles were produced by the company and published in which all of them was critical and commercial beasts (success). Grand Theft Auto V the latest installment released in the year 2013 was massively appreciated by the fans and the gaming community alike with its dynamic gameplay, open world, story, characters and missions. A Multiplayer Gaming Experience was also release alongside GTA 5 called Grand Theft Auto Online which surprisingly to this date is being updated much off to the surprise of the Gamers due to its enormous amount of player base and success. After the release of GTA 5 the world of course including us are eagerly wondering and waiting for what's next. Of course we now at least know its the inevitable Grand Theft Auto 6 but that's quite all about the information we now know during creating this blogpost. Fans of the franchise have been eagerly and patiently (which is almost drained and dried out as of now) waiting for the last 10 years wondering when will get to play the next most anticipated title in the world. As of now Rockstar Games has updated their fans that they are indeed in the process of working very hard on the next entry in their iconic crime franchise which was almost a myth before its official acknowledgement in February of 2022. Gamers all around the globe is eagerly waiting for any information on the next Epic Entry in the series as Rockstar Games remains tight lipped as they always are when they are creating something new. The company is known to work in extreme secrecy and have very strict non disclosure agreements (NDA) signed for all those who are working with or for them. The fans of the company and its franchise indeed have a passionate and loyal community consisting gamers across the world anticipating the blockbuster announcement and release of GTA 6. The Game itself is set to create Creative Benchmarks in the Gaming Industry also on the Entertainment Industry as a whole as it is promised to create a new Era for Gaming and Video Games with Rockstar's Promise that the Game will indeed truly Exceed all the Expectations of the gamers and fans. So the Hype surrounding the Gamechanger Game (no pun intended) is incredibly massive as it is ramping up to create a massive storm in the gaming industry with its announcement and we cannot wait for that inevitable official reveal and release of the most beloved game in the most beloved franchise in the world.

This may be my favorite of @tompalmerauthor’s Roy/Rocky of the Rovers prose novels, and a fantastic example of why I love this series. It’s about a young footballer and his family, based on a classic comics character and written for an early middle-grade audience. But it’s full of heart and character and emotion and relevance. It tackles (pun intended) some of the darker aspects of the world of football and the world in general. This story addresses the sadly growing issue of racism head-on, instead of simplifying the world and talking down to its audience. These are quick reads, although the individual books are getting longer as the series progresses, but that focus and straightforwardness comes with a great deal of art and humanity. I hope we continue getting stories about Rocky as well as Roy. I’m as invested in her growth and development as I am his career. #thismakesmehappy #books #2022reading #bookstagram #britishcomics #royoftherovers #rockyoftherovers #gamechanger #tompalmer #middlegradefiction #middlegradesports #middlegradesportsbooks #football #soccer https://www.instagram.com/p/CfolNpxrRa1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

omfg what do you MEAN "show don't tell" orIGINATED IN SILENT FILM???

wemod has undertale options! it's how i finished it :)

oh FUCK YEAH... maybe there's hope for me actually finishing Undertale yet!

Into The Motherlands is available in podcast form and this is GAMECHANGING (pun not intended) for I am a person with many things to do but two of those are driving and walking

A watch that really made an impact when launched in 2009: the illustrious Zeitwerk from @alangesoehne Personally I was not a fan of the launch. I considered it very “un-Lange”. Thankfully over time (no pun intended) I learned to love this model that actually is a digital watch with a killer mechanical movement. It is a gamechanger and today an important timepiece for the German manufacturer. Actually the Zeitwerk won L’Aiguille d’Or Grand Prize at the 2009 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. https://www.instagram.com/p/B93dyFuFLuf/?igshid=jjwmzfa8na5h

Scrutiny (MAG142)

So this episode is a gamechanger, for me at least. We have been following the tragedy of Jon slipping into monsterhood for a while now, but this? THIS was a kick in the head. Seeing him – and the rest of this horror show (pun somehow intended) – from the outside, from the POV of some poor bystander, that really forces us to realise what monster actually means in this instance. That no matter how sorry we might feel for Jon, and how real his own feelings of fear and worry and uncertainty are, he is a Real Monster – and he is not a reliable narrator.

I also loved that this episode drove home what a horrible thing the Eye is. How invasive and traumatising it is, and how none of the Powers have any respect or care for the people they feed on.

And Martin. Martin, honey, really? You’re going to sulk because the rest of them go about trying to save the world without telling you about it, when that’s what YOU have been doing this whole season, and when YOU are the one who has isolated yourself from them? Yes, it’s understandable you want to protect Jon and the rest, but you Can’t Trust Peter, and you Can’t Do It Alone.

One final thing: I am properly impressed at the way this episode handled the theme of stalking and abuse, especially when it comes to how Martin reacted to it. It would have been so easy to have him try to downplay what happened, or to try to come up with excuses for Jon, and there was none of that. Nowhere was there any suggestion that the Bystander was anything but horribly mistreated.

I am glad to have my trust in Jonny confirmed. Both when it comes to horrifying me, surprising me and doing what needs to be done with the story.

And holy crap am I worried about what more there is to come.

#TheWalkingDead Season 10B Theories, Easter Eggs and Much more

On the 28th of November (Thanksgiving), The Offical Twitter Account of The Walking Dead posted their annual Thanksgiving holiday photo with plenty of ‘Easter Eggs’. There’s more to this photo than meets the first glance, and I'm here to help decipher some of those things.

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE PERSONAL THEORIES. NOTHING IS CONFIRMED NOR DENIED.

*WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM BOTH THE WALKING DEAD COMICS AND THE HIT TELEVISION SHOW.*

First off, I would like to take a second and say how well Angela Kang and everyone at AMC has done this season. As a long time fan of the show, I was more than optimistic about how they would do the whole show without Rick. Well done crew. Well done.

Theory 1: Pittsburgh Skyline Egg

The first Egg that I want to discuss is perhaps the BIGGEST of this article…did you notice this little gem tucked away in the far right corner of the picture?

*This theory is explored from a spoiler website on Facebook*

Like all tidbits, nothing is 100% accurate. But, there are major facts that lead me to this potential gamechanger.

Although nothing is confirmed, Pittsburgh would actually be a likely shift from the comics. Although Ohio wouldn’t be out of the path (and part of the original comic route), Pittsburgh is more of a “suitable” place for the Commonwealth and the storyline.

Pittsburgh has a vast water access system that connects to additional waterways that connect through the states of Virginia (where they currently resign), and it also connects another water route that leads toward Texas, where Fear The Walking Dead is located. The water connections are actually big enough to meet all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico, and access to the Oceans. This could, in fact, be the hint that connects ALL of the shows together, combining it into one massive show. That would make for an interesting show overall.

Another way they could cross into Pittsburgh territory is by going through their waterway on the way to Ohio. With Michonne possibly getting a military ship with military weaponry which is also in the above photo, could very well be how they come across the popular comic character Princess. But, with them having the Pittsburgh skyline, I’m more set on The Commonwealth being nestled into Pittsburgh instead of Ohio. We shall find out soon with Eugene's talk and the radio woman.

If in fact, they did do this, it would be interesting to see it all play out. I would, in fact, enjoy seeing all three of the shows and worlds collide into one big masterpiece. And, I would especially enjoy seeing good ole Rick back on the show.

Theory 2: Missing People

There’s a LOT going on in this photo, no doubt. But, there’s also a lot that isn’t there that probably should be. There are some major changes from the comics that have already happened and many more to come.

The first and most notable person who’s missing from this photo that comes to mind is Connie. Connie isn’t there. Next to Daryl (who’s checking up on Carol, Judith, Gracie, and Dog). There is a spot that is open and unoccupied which leaves me to believe that spot is for Connie. The reason I speculate that is because Luke is by Jewels, Jerry is by Nebula and Rosita is by Father Gabriel. All of them are by their respective partners. Another hint at this thought is that Kelly does not look happy in the slightest.

The second most notable missing person is Magna. Where is she? She would (or should) be by Yumiko if she was there, right? Magna is one that should be there, being a major character, right?

Another person who has a rather large role who ISN’T there is Alden. Where is Alden? He's a pretty major character in the show and has a stake (no pun intended) at Hilltop, assumingly larger than Lydia, and Lydia is there. So why isn’t he? Hell, Maggie’s there and she isn’t even back on the show yet.

Most of the leaders or major community members of each of the communities are there, even Alpha, Beta, and Negan. So, that being said, why isn’t Rachel? Rachel and Cyndie both are the granddaughters of Natania, the original leader of the Oceanside Community. So, this leaves me to wonder why she isn’t there, either.

Theory 3: Maggie is Back

Those of us who are caught up with the show, we all know that Maggie has been away from the communities for well over seven years (since Rick's disappearance).

For those of you who didn’t know, Maggie actor Lauren Cohan made a surprise appearance at The 2019 San Diego Comic-Con over the early summer. She broke the news that Maggie would be returning to the show after half a season without the steady since season 2 character made her way off the show with Georgie, a new character yet to be explored.

Where has Maggie been all these (show) years? She has been with the extraterrestrially quiet character Georgie along with her efforts to build communities (Commonwealth hint?). That’s where she has been all this time. Georgie asked Maggie to assist her in building more communities (TWD The World Beyond perhaps?) and she agreed. Now, she’s coming back! This is major for more than just her return. It's potentially huge for them to lay the groundwork for the rest of Rick’s tale.

Theory 4; What the Ship?!

In the photo above, you can see a large steamship headed toward land. This photo is arguably one of the biggest topics, and I would agree. But, for a different perspective.

A lot of people are thinking it's Michonne headed back to Alexandria with the weaponry promised by Virgil. This may be the case, but I think there may be a few additions that it could be.

One, I think that it could be an additional connection between the three Walking Dead series’. This could be Rick coming back into the picture and this could also be TWD; The World Beyond coming into the show.

Rick has been gone since 9x05 and the last we saw he left with Jadis or Anne in a helicopter with the three connecting circles, the same type of helicopter that made an emergency entrance and exit with Al in Fear The Walking Dead in season 5. They’re obviously setting up the Walking Dead community for a massive come to gather of shows. Rick's exit was the perfect way to really solidify this theory which may turn true. What started the chain was Morgan’s exit at the end of season 8 after the Savior war commenced.

TWD; The World Beyond has been teased over and over, dangling very little information yet enough to make us stop and think. One of the biggest things that’s made me personally stop more than others is the hints about the community of the show to come.

Many of the things they say make me think of The Commonwealth. For those of you who don't know of this community, it's massive. Over 30,000 people, a police force, sports, restaurants, even a judiciary system with a court of law. The biggest “egg” that the trailer dropped about this is that they had a massive weapons force. And, the same three interjecting circles. Hmm…

The other thing that it could be is what a lot of people are thinking is Michonne coming back from the Naval island with the weapons promised by Vergil as mentioned above. The majority of people are thinking that’s what it is and there is a strong possibility of this. I personally think it's a 50/50 chance of all of these things, I don’t think it’s a better chance for one over the other.

Theory 5: What’s Carol up To?

In my opinion, this is a pretty easy one to theorize. Carol is more that likely mapping out her revenge with Alpha. She could also be mapping out a way to get out of the cave that Alpha trapped them in. She's been looking for her opportunity against her since day one, so I think that’s what Carol is doing.

Theory 6: Do you see anything?

This is just a random thought, but am I the only one who saw the little smudge in the distance? It may be a far odd, but it seems like it could be a distant skyline like the ones on the right side. Like I said, it's probably nothing, but, it looks as if it could really be something. What, I don’t know. Maybe if it is anything, it's Alexandria's outline and it's the connection between the cities and upcoming things in the show.

Theory 7; The Island

Adding to Theory 5, I believe that this is the island that Vergil and Michonne have left to. He said it's a Naval island with plenty of weaponry, weapons that could “take our a herd.” And, I’m sure there is a place for smokestacks and fire.

The island is close to the edge of where everyone else is, so that also hints that it's close like he said. So, that being said, I think that this island is the island that Vergil said his family was on.

Theory 8; is there a connection?

Theory 1 and 3 have already covered this separately, but not together…

As you can see in the photo above in the red circles, one is Maggie symbolizing her coming back into the fold. The skyline in the distance, is that where she’s coming from?

Many people think that the skyline is Pittsburgh, where The Commonwealth may be located. And, with Maggie reentering, it could mean that we very soon will be introduced to The Walking Dead soon… After all, Maggie has been gone with Georgie's building new communities.’

What are your takes on my theories and what are your personal theories? Let me know in the comments below!

2021 GMC Yukon Denali first drive review: From luxury pretender to legitimate contender

New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/2021-gmc-yukon-denali-first-drive-review-from-luxury-pretender-to-legitimate-contender-4/

2021 GMC Yukon Denali first drive review: From luxury pretender to legitimate contender

From the blue-collar Chevy Tahoe to the stately Cadillac Escalade to the GMC Yukon in between, General Motors’ family of large, truck-based SUVs has been a huge seller over the years. Despite their popularity, these vehicles have not necessarily been the most premium, versatile or passenger friendly, though these shortcomings — and others — have been addressed for 2021. Thanks to a much-needed redesign, the GMC Yukon Denali has been transformed from a luxury pretender into a legitimate contender. 

Independence day 

Arguably, the single most important change made to these full-size family-haulers is the addition of an independent rear suspension, something rivals like the Ford Expedition have had for decades. Ditching the old live axle allowed engineers to add significant amounts of passenger and cargo space, but that’s not the only reason why it’s more capacious. For 2021, the Yukon has grown. Its wheelbase is up by nearly five inches and the body has been extended by more than six.   

Altogether, these changes get you a whopping 66% more room behind the third-row seat. Indeed, it is usefully spacious back there, roomy enough to house a couple pieces of rollaboard luggage or a whole mess of grocery bags. With everything folded flat, there’s now just shy of 123 cubic feet of junk-hauling capacity, a cavernous amount of room that actually makes the standard Yukon more capacious and an Expedition Max, the extended-length model that competes with the even bigger Yukon XL. 

Augmenting that independent rear, this GMC offers several different suspension setups. Coil springs with passive dampers support lower-tier models, but magnetic-ride shocks are also offered with coil springs. The top-shelf arrangement, however, features four-corner air bladders and those fancy magnetic dampers, which is what my Denali tester has. 

Unfortunately, ride quality isn’t as good as you might expect. Even with fancy shocks and air bags this vehicle feels unnecessarily stiff and plodding, likely due to the massive 22-inch wheels. Going over bumps, you still get some body-on-frame jiggles, but live-axle shimmies have been exorcised. The Yukon’s ass-end remains as planted as a fully grown oak tree, even when driven over nasty washboard surfaces. Body roll in corners is minimal and the steering is serviceable. 

There is an absolute ton of space back here.

Craig Cole/Roadshow

As they should be, this vehicle’s front chairs are hospitable for hours at a stretch, plus they’re heated and ventilated. But at long last, the Yukon’s rear seats offer plenty of comfort, too. 

With their lower cushions roughly chair-height above the floor, the second-row buckets are backside friendly and plenty adjustable. But thanks to that independent rear suspension, even the third-row is downright coddling, something you could never say about the outgoing Yukon’s rear-most bench, which was a no-grown-man’s land. Adults relegated to steerage in the 2021 model will have little to complain about as there’s plenty of support and loads of headroom and legroom. 

Interior improvements   

Setting the Denali apart from lesser Yukons and the Chevrolet Tahoe is a special interior and I’m not just talking about color and trim. The dashboard design is actually different, with unique air vents and a neatly integrated 10.2-inch multimedia display instead of a more freestanding screen of the same size. 

Not bad, GMC, not bad at all.

Craig Cole/Roadshow

GM infotainment systems have been killing it lately and this one is superb. It boots up almost instantly when you start the engine and it responds with immediacy. There’s no lag or stutters while swiping through menus or zooming in or out on the map. Aside from outstanding performance, this multimedia array is clearly laid out and exceptionally easy to use. 

Integrated navigation is standard in Denali models but optional on lower-end Yukons. Across the range, support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is included, though SLT, AT4 and Denali models also come with a wireless charging pad at no extra charge (no pun intended).

Justifying its premium pricing, this GMC’s cabin is attractive and loaded with quality materials. Two kinds of leather are used, one with a fine grain and another that’s much rougher looking. At first, I thought the coarse cow hide seemed a bit crude, like elephant skin or something, but I’ve grown to like it because it’s used sparingly and provides a nice bit of contrast. 

Matching that leather, this Yukon’s various switches and dials look nice and feel high in quality. Even the dashboard-mounted electronic shifter is an unexpected winner. Comprised of buttons and toggles, it looks fiddly, but it’s easy to reach and intuitive. About the only thing that’s cheap feeling in the new Yukon is the windshield-wiper/turn-signal stalk, which, in typical GM fashion, is as rubbery as overcooked chicken.   

Life-sized adults will now comfortably fit in the Yukon’s third-row seat.

Craig Cole/Roadshow

A pair of 12.6-inch second-row entertainment displays are included in the pricey $11,180 Yukon Denali Ultimate Package, which also bundles features like those 22-inch wheels, power-retractable running boards, four-corner air suspension and adaptive cruise control. Crisp and responsive, these touchscreens make it easy for passengers to consume their favorite media, plus they even have access to the vehicle’s navigation system so they can put a destination in for the driver.   

In case you needed yet another screen in your life, Yukon Denalis also feature a 15-inch multicolor head-up display. It’s super legible, even in sunlight, and it’s easy to adjust the positioning and brightness via a few dedicated buttons on the dashboard.

A mostly pleasant drive 

Three engines will be available in the new Yukon. A 355-horsepower, 5.3-liter V8 serves base duty while a 6.2-liter unit is optional, though standard on Denalis. Smooth running and quiet, that big-ish-block V8 packs a punch, 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque to be exact. 

Both gasoline engines are available right now, but before the end of the year, GM’s excellent 3.0-liter Duramax inline-six diesel found in the Silverado and Sierra half-ton trucks will also be offered in the Yukon, which could be a gamechanger. No matter the engine, a 10-speed automatic transmission is standard equipment. 

Eight-cylinder engines are just lovely, and the Yukon’s 6.2-liter unit is a delight, both smooth and powerful.

Craig Cole/Roadshow

Underway, this new Yukon’s performance is excellent. My tester’s 6.2-liter V8 is silken and plenty potent, though I do wish it had a bit of exhaust rumble, because it sounds like, well, pretty much nothing. As for the transmission, it’s just as delightful, shifting smartly and seamlessly. But it’s kind of funny, with so many gears it sometimes feels like a continuously variable transmission because the RPM drop following each upshift is miniscule. 

According to the EPA, this Yukon Denali should deliver 14 miles per gallon in city driving and 19 on the highway. Combined, it’s rated at a scowl-inducing 16 mpg. Fortunately, in real-world, mixed driving I’ve managed to beat that figure, averaging around 18, which isn’t quite as frightening. 

Being the size of a Navy destroyer and weighing more than 5,800 pounds in four-wheel-drive Denali trim, you can’t expect this SUV to have cat-like reflexes. It’s undeniably big and heavy, but it doesn’t feel quite as enormous as it actually is. Making my tester a touch easier to manage is a host of adjustable camera angles, which give you a 360-degree view of the vehicle, plus parking sensors and a rear-view camera mirror.   

As you might expect, the new Yukon offers plenty of driver aids. Things like automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection and automatic high beams are all standard. Denali models are also graced with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert, but curiously, things like that camera mirror and adaptive cruise control are optional. Really, they should be standard at the price GMC is charging. 

Your land yacht awaits.

Craig Cole/Roadshow

A luxury price tag 

So, how much do they want for a 2021 Yukon? Well, a base, rear-wheel-drive SLE model starts around $52,000, which is a totally reasonable figure. In fact, depending on trim, prices have either remained the same as last year or crept up slightly, by not more than $700. But in comparison, my tester rolled off the assembly line in Arlington, Texas with a window sticker of $83,420, including $1,295 in destination charges. That’s a lot of scratch, very similar to a lower-end Mercedes-Benz GLS or Lincoln Navigator, vehicles this GMC actually has some chance of competing with now. 

With additional interior room, greater refinement and more tech, the new Yukon Denali is better than ever. If you’ve got deep pockets and like what you see, check your local GMC dealership, because they’re available right now.
