Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com Voice by Dodger http://www.youtube.com/PressHeartToContinue Edit by Schroeder http://www.youtube.com/TheWarpZone --- TRANSCRIPT: So, the three primevals were in a field or whatever one time, picking flowers and doing generally evil vacation nonsense, when an archangel named Tyrael appeared in all of his heavenly smugness and, with the aid of monks, who one can assume are generally badass, trapped the primordial lord of terror known as Diablo with his Soulstone (he existence of which will later seem like a terrible idea). They bury him and smack a labyrinth and a monastery on top because geez, I mean really might as well be safe when as video game lore luck would have it, centuries later, the imprisonment has weakened and a generally blobby, useless king devours the monastery and builds a cathedral instead. Meanwhile, his royal advisor, embodying the form of many Disney villains before him, frees Diablo from his rusty, weakened fail-box and allows possession of the lard king. The lard king, suffering from clogged arteries and demon infection, executes a bunch of people, while his son is swallowed away to also be possessed by the lord of terror. Other general madness ensues... the advisor has an extreme lapse in judgment and leads the entire town to their death in the catacombs. The pillow king is defeated by the captain of his army only to return as the Skeleton King because.. why not? And now you, gentle tortured soul wishing to avenge your family, hit the scene and have so much excitement and enjoyment before you that you can barely contain yourself. Have fun. --- Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP Want more from Polaris?

Our story begins with some bored and awkward scientists known as the xel'naga. Arriving in the Milky Way Galaxy, the xel'naga started poking around with different species to create something with purity of form and purity of essence. First they found the protoss, a race of awesome looking psychics and started messing with their brains. Getting way excited about it, they went too far and caused the protoss to fall into madness. The xel'naga abandoned the protoss, really not wanting to deal with the cleanup and found the zerg instead, a race of odd worm-like creatures with the ability to absorb the genetics of their victims. Going for a different approach, the xel'naga created an Overmind to keep their brains from hotwiring. Unfortunately, the Overmind was far too jawesome and sent troops to destroy the xel'naga and take their knowledge. Meanwhile, the brotoss, abandoned by their supposed gods, healed their brainplaces and expanded their occupied space into the inevitable complicated game of Twister that was sure to happen. Happily watching over the Terrans from afar, they finally focused on the Zerg in a "oh we should get rid of these" sort of fashion. The zerg, having noticed the Protoss way before and wanting to assimilate them, were busy om nom nomming on the Terran planets, hoping to assimilate the Terrans and utilize their buried psionic potential. Unfortunately, they didn't happen to notice when the Protoss moved in and, in an attempt to save the Terrans, annihilated the world of Chau Sara. The Terrans, unaware of the reasoning, panicked and a war against both alien races began as the Terrans flailed under their mercy. AND THEN YOU GET TO BE JIM RAYNOR. You're welcome. Have fun.

Once upon a time, the Elder Gods created the six surviving realms. Should one wish to take over another, the elder gods decreed that the only way was to defeat that realm's greatest warriors in ten consecutive mortal kombat tournaments. So Shao Khan decides that Earth realm looks fairly delicious and over three separate games, attacks. Game 1, His first attack on earth is met with crippling failure. Game 2, His second attack, dragging earth's warriors to Outworld, is also a failure. Game 3, His third attack consists of rezzing his wifey Sindel on Earth, hoping to cross over for a mixture of murder and sexy times, is yet another failure. Game 4 happens, let's ignore that. In Mortal Kombat 5 many people have died and Quan Chi and Shang Tsung form the most irritating of alliances and convince themselves they've killed Shao Kahn. Game 6, some nonsense with the Dragon King Onaga takes place that few of us remember but as a spoiler, Earth wins. And now Mortal Kombat 7, the game we've all been waiting for. The Elder Gods decide "let's bring everyone back to life and have them battle it out in one final glorious battle that will result in the end of the world!" Nodding to one another about how clever and wise they are, everyone dukes it out in the Edenia Realm. At the end it's Shao Khan against Raiden. Raiden, knowing he's going to lose, sends visions to his past self from the FIRST game. Fast forward to Mortal Kombat of 2011 and you're right back where you started. So when you're hemming and hawing over whether or not you should buy the new game, rest assured you have missed nothing and everything I explained in this video is pointless information. Have fun.

Long ago in a world where vampires don't actually sparkle, Mathias and Leon were BFFLs in Europe during the late 11th century. While Leon was a nobleman and a knight, Mathias was a so-called genius tactician. He also knew alchemy because his heritage was all sketchy that way. Anyway, while on an expedition, his wife Elisabetha passed away from illness. Shortly after when Leon's beloved, Sara, is kidnapped, Mathias informs him while bedridden from angst that it was the doing of a vampire. Upon getting to the vamp's castle, Leon is gifted with a Whip of Alchemy by a well-placed old man on the castle grounds and charges in to find his lovely, pure, adorable and wonderous Sara before it's too late. Sara, bad-luckily has been bit by her captor, Walter and in order to defeat him, sacrifices herself and allows her soul to become one with the Whip of Alchemy, transforming it into the Vampire Killer Whip. Defeating Walter and mourning his ladymate, Leon Charlie Browned his way back to his buddy Mathias. It is revealed that he planned out the capture of Sara from the beginning and using dubious alchemy, Mathias transformed into a stereotypical looking vampire. Feeling a little bit like maybe it's his fault Leon's ladyface died, he offered Leon immortality and eternal broness under the veil of understanding the pain of losing a loved one. Leon, instead, vowed that his bloodline would hunt down Mathias until the end of time. Mathias later would rename himself to Dracula. It is this Dracula that the Belmont clan is cursed to fight every time he resurrects until the end of time. Sucky lineage bro. Have fun!

In the, at the time, not too distant future of 1997, a standard sci-fi event of general madness and radiation poisoning addles the brain of a once beloved genius and scientist now known as Dr Proton, scourge of Earth's largest city. After creating some crazy awesome robots in the underworld, the CIA hires Duke based entirely on his witty one-liners and epic flexing abilities. Following Dr Proton not only to his super hidden underground base but also to the moon and the future, Duke comes out the winner and returns to Earth, receiving the key to the city as per 80s movie montage. After writing an Autobiography lovingly entitled "Why I'm So Great", an alien race known as Rigelatins show up and capture Duke to use his brain and take over the world. Duke breaks free easily and yet again, saves earth. While on his way back in his fancy space cruiser, he reaches Los Angeles, hoping for some beer and hookers but is caught off guard by the hostile shooting of his ship. Learning that the LAPD have been mutated into awkward pigs and slowly realizing that perhaps his booze and boobs plan might have to wait, he vows to destroy the scourge plagueing Earth yet again. After tracking down an alien cruiser, he defeats the Battlelord and learns that they've been capturing women and rocketing them into space. Not one to be outdone, Duke goes to space as well, finding the women trapped in incubators and reaching the alien mothership, oddly enough, located yet again on The Moon. After returning to Los Angeles, he plows through a legion of aliens and defeats their leader and the queen, finally getting the TLC he's demanded since the second game and declaring that once he's done resting, he will be ready for more action. Apparently more action equates to a poorly thought out terrible waste of time. Have fun?

"Welcome to the planet Sera, where everything's gone to shit and the men are muscle-bound like Belgian prize cattle. So here's the deal: fourteen years ago, the Locust decided to emerge from the ground in a day we call -- wait for it -- Emergence Day. They started f**king s**t up, but keep in mind that this is actually their planet and the humans are the invaders which basically means, yep, WE'RE THE BAD GUYS. You are Marcus Fenix and you wear a do-rag. This is your buddy, Dom. Together, you are Delta Squad, a team of 400 pound men who are the only useful component in an entire army. In the first game, you have to take this thing called a resonator that - wait for it -- resonates, but then it doesn't really resonate, so you just have to kill everyone. You set off a lightmass bomb, kill a general named RAAM, blah blah blah, lo and behold, it turns out this didn't really do much at all, because come on, there are two more games left in this trilogy. So Gears 2 starts and everything has gone more to shit, and, to top it all off, it turns out the Locust are being run by a Queen who as far as we can tell is Dame Judy Dench. So there's that. For the sake of level design variety, but for no discernable tactical edge whatsoever, you drill down into the ground to fight the Locust on their own turf. You pew pew for a while and then hey, you're back on the surface. You fight some Locust in a crazy laboratory where it seems like there might be some story but the big twist -- wait for it -- is that there isn't! So you go back underground, where you learn that some of the Locust have become Lambent—a new and exciting enemy that looks like the Locust, talks like the Locust, shoots like the Locust, but get this...they explode! So you flood the Locust tunnels by destroying Jacinto, the one last remaining human stronghold on the entire planet, because that makes perfect sense.... And of course, it didn't work because nothing you do ever works and also because, hey, Gears of War 3. Have fun."

The year is 2052 and the future is as dystopian and cyberpunk as the SyFy channel would have us believe. An uncureable pandemic known as the "Gray Death" is sweeping the globe, and the distribution of the only known "vaccine", Ambrosia, is doled out exclusively to those the government has deemed useful. i.e.: politicians, rich people, scientists, members of the mensa society, and the inhabitants of the playboy mansion. Seeing fear and desperation in the eyes of the working class, terrorist groups the world over capitalize on the increasing societal chaos. Enter the creation of UNATCO, The United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition, with the mission of stopping terrorism and promoting peace across the globe. As J.C.

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com Edited by Schroeder http://www.youtube.com/TheWarpZone --- TRANSCRIPT: Our story begins with a god-like being of immense power known only as the Emperor uniting the warring factions of Earth and embarking on The Great Crusade to reunite all of mankinds lost colonies. He did this by creating 20 legions of post-human genetically engineered badasses known as Space Marines, each with an even more ridiculously OP Primarch to lead them. Unfortunately, the 4 Gods of Chaos who weren't really into that sort of thing intervened and scattered the Primarch's across the universe while still in their infancy. Rather annoyed by this, the Emperor lead the legions across the galaxy, reclaiming, subjegating or annihilating every world they could find, gradually picking up the lost Primarchs along the way. Eventually the Emperor decided there were more important things to do and retired from his career of galaxy plundering to go and muck about with ancient science back on Earth, leaving his favoured Primarch Horus in command of The Crusade. All was going well until the Chaos-tainted Chaplain Erebus engineering a plot in which Horus would also fail to Chaos. Already suffering from some pretty serious Daddy issues, Horus gathered half the Space Marine legions to his side and set about waging civil war against the Emperor. This conflict would be known as the Horus Heresy and culminated in a massive invasion of Earth. The Emperor, knowing that his forces were outnumbered and on the verge of losing the battle, teleported to Horus' flagship to engage him in mortal combat, but being a sentimental old sod, could not bring himself to kill his favoured son. Horus having no such qualms, beat the snot out of him. Finally seeing sense, the Emperor killed him with mindbullets and the loyalists were victorious. Near death, The Emperor was placed in a huge machine known as The Golden Throne which maintained his psychic essence at the bargain price of the souls of 1000 unlucky sods every single day. The Imperium fell into a state of technological regression and brutal dictatorship and for 10,000 years has been under siege from all sides by every single nasty the universe can throw at it. Basically life sucks, there is only war and you're probably going to get eaten by Tyranids. Have fun!

Long ago, in an ancient time known as "the 1980s," four everyday turtles were dropped into a sewer grate by a young boy with a poor sense of balance and poor taste in pets--totally kidding. Down in the absurdly spacious sewer tunnels below New York City, the four reptiles wandered into a discarded barrel of toxic ooze, which mutated them into sentient bipeds. There they are discovered by Splinter, a recently ex-human martial arts badass who was also exposed to the ooze and mutated into a rat-man. Master Splinter, deciding that he can't just let the poor guys grow up orphans amongst the sewer crocs and the poo gas, takes them under his metaphorical wing, bequeaths upon them the names of four Renaissance artists (Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo), and trains the four shellheads in the art of the ninja, transforming them into the titular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Together the four of them defend the city from evil, usually from their nemesis, the Shredder. One day, the Shredder hatches an evil scheme; with the help of Krang--a creature from Dimension X who can be most accurately described by spitting out your chewing gum and imagining it with a face--the Shredder steals the Statue of Liberty! The turtles, of course, will not stand for this and head out to stop the Shredder's plan to use the statue for... something. However, before they can stop him, the Shredder sucks the four brothers into a time warp! In order to get back to the present and save the city from becoming permanently statue-less, the turtles must battle their way through hordes of pirates, cowboys, ninjas, robots, pirate cowboy ninja robots, and dinosaurs.

Demacia, the self-proclaimed shining example of humanity, rules with an iron fist in the name of Justice and Morality. Noxus, on the other hand, is a power-hungry faction who enjoys ruining your day. After two Rune Wars, Valoran had transformed into a hellish landscape. Valoran's top boys ruled that the magical warfare was causing earthquakes and storms and maybe hurting the poor ozone layer. They responded by creating the League of Legends, a method in which political disputes would be settled in arenas called the Fields of Justice -- Summoner's Rift and The Crystal Scar. Oh, and Twisted Treeline -- but nobody likes Twisted Treeline. Champions summoned by, well, Summoners duke it out in these Fields of Justice all the while trying to destroy each other's Nexus. These brave champions lead mindless minions to victory and/or their death, which are controlled by novice Summoners. But let's face it minions are only there as a source of revenue so you can rush your Trinity Force. Even though most disputes are settled in the Fields of Justice, there are still conflicts over land and whatnot, especially between the Demacian King's son, Jarvan IV and the Noxian Commander creepy-bird-guy, Swain. Even then, no one questions the effectiveness of the League of Justice because it's backed by three powerful, broken-OP Summoners. And hey, when you can fight robots and children and the guy from 300 to the death, who really cares? Go forth, conquer your enemies, and always call dibs on solo lane, Summoner!

In the year 20XX, two scientists, Doctor Light and Doctor Wily are well known for their innovative and groundbreaking contributions to the ever-growing world of robotics. Being praised for their work in the areas of construction and industry, it was only appropriate that their creations be given the title of "Robot Masters," which seems like a surefire way to tempt fate into a robot apocalypse. Dr. Wily, eventually getting sick of living in the shadow of Dr. Light's superior genius, re-programs six of the Robot Masters, goes on a megalomaniacal rampage, and attempts to take over the world because, well, that's just what crazed scientists with robot armies are supposed to do. One of the remaining Robot Masters, known at the time as "Rock" and later retconned into "Mega", begs Dr. Light to convert him into a combat robot so that he can stop the madness of Dr. Wily's schemes. He is then outfitted with the "mega buster", a canon attached to his arm which, upon defeating other Robot Masters, attains the opposing robot's abilities. After the success of the conversion, Mega Man is born! His mission: to defeat the Robot Masters, stop the evil domination of Dr. Wily, and restore the world to peace. Until it happens again for the next game. And the next game. And the next game. And well, you understand. Have fun.

As part of one of these tests - the computer chip maintaining the water supply in Vault 13 fails - and the stricken vault dwellers must pin their hopes on you, a young hero to venture into the wasteland and save them.  But the story does not end there - a hundred years on, another young vault dweller sets out into the ruins of Washington DC, shouldering the enormous task of providing clean water for everyone in the wasteland. Meanwhile, on the opposite coast, a young courier in the Mojave desert, a young courier is shot in the head over a mysterious platinum chip, but is lucky to survive and seeks revenge.  Pick up your weapon of choice be it machete, revolver, or laser gun and get out there.

In the year 2148, mankind happens upon a preserved cache of technology on Mars left behind by an extinct race known as the Protheans. After adopting this technology, mankind expands into the Milky Way galaxy and colonizes anything that moves with the help of a Mass Relay that allows space-faring races to instantly travel across the galaxy. Thirty-five years later, you're aboard the SSV Normandy as Commander Shephard sent to investigate a Prothean relic. Oh, and a rogue Spectre, Saren, murders your other Spectre buddy and now you have to hunt him down. Fast forward past all the dialogue and blue alien sex and you find out Saren has been brainwashed by the Reapers, an advanced machine race that lie dormant in dark space. All the tech lying around the galaxy belongs to them, including the Citadel which -- PLOT TWIST-- is a gateway for the Reapers! So you uncover and defeat a single Reaper using the combined forces of all the allied races in the galaxy but - DOUBLE TWIST! - there are hundreds more napping in dark space. No big. That aside, you're the first human Spectre and the hero of all mankind--Yay! You return in Mass Effect 2 only to be immediately killed but brought back to life by Martin Sheen to do his bidding. You're not really down but you kiiinda owe him one. You realize that a Reaper has been ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL of the Collectors, a race of crickets that have been abducting humans, which distracts from the fact that you can't do the sexy with that blue alien again and eventually settle for that girl from Chuck. Passing through the spooky Omega 4 Relay, an epic confrontation occurs with a Reaper. But after kicking its ass and pissing off the rest of the Reapers, it's now your fault that they're gunning for Earth. Good job. Have fun.

Once upon a time there was a young pink haired girl who was given the opportunity to become a magical grrr... wait... oh, dangit this is the wrong one... Once upon a time in a generic fantasy realm called Midgård, populated by humans who all speak something similar to the Swedish Chef, the capital city of Havindr is under siege! Four tiny wizards in multi-colored garb are informed of their destiny to save their world from an evil sorcerer and his various generic minions. Departing from their wizarding school to conquer evil, the group, also known as the Order of Magick, is assisted by the ever mysterious Vlad, who kind of looks like a vampire... but definitely is not a vampire... I mean we're pretty sure. The wizards engage in harmless experimentation, with their wizarding staffs to create more and more combinations of their powerful elemental abilities. Over the course of their whirlwind adventure, the wizards will successfully repel an invasion, kill giant monsters, and battle evil warlocks. Of course, saving the world gets boring so you'll likely just spend most of the time crossing sword and staff with your fellow wizards, each of whom can be burned, drowned, smashed, shattered, zapped, blasted, and, of course blown into meaty chunks for your own amusement.

Then came a nasty parasite known as The Flood which started infecting and possessing all sentient beings in its path, making them mad ugly. With the Flood consuming entire planets and being generally annoying, the Forerunners decided they had no option but to build gigantic WMDs called Halos. In 100,000 BCE, these Halos were fired for the first and only time, effectively killing all sentient life and starving The Flood FTW. Fast-forward 102,500 years, humans have colonized space but are engaged in a civil war. Earth's United Nations Space Command starts stealing little children and training them into Spartan super soldiers to counter the insurrection. On February 3rd, 2525 humans meet the Covenant, a collection of religious aliens who worship the Forerunners and think firing the Halos will send them to heaven. Clearly they didn't get the memo. Anyway they declare the humans a threat to their Great Journey and begin destroying buttloads of human planets. The Spartan super babies from earlier grow up and kick some Covenant ass, but the humans are still outnumbered, outgunned, and are getting massacred. By 2552 the Office of Naval Intelligence thinks we're all gonna die so they initiate Operation: RED FLAG and send all Spartans to Reach for capture of a Covenant vessel to find the alien homeworld and steal their leader. But first the Covenant find Reach and send thousands of ships to destroy it. The Battle of Reach begins. Have fun!

In a distant time when the world was void, three goddesses were like "that planet looks super depressing" and descended to create order and life. The Goddess of Power created the land and dyed the mountains red with fire. The Goddess of Wisdom created science and magic, bringing order and balance to the world. Lastly, the Goddess of Courage created all life and the spirits within them. Upon leaving the planet the goddesses sealed a very small portion of their power within The Triforce, a mighty artifact with the power to grant any desire. Should a mortal wish to pursue the Triforce, he or she would need to possess the three forces of Power, Wisdom, and Courage equally. Without balance, the Triforce would split into three parts, leaving the person who touched it with the one piece that most represented their soul. The other two pieces would travel to the ones chosen by destiny. But now the question is... where's the Triforce? With the promise of a wish granted, people of all races scoured the globe for an entrance to the Sacred Realm to obtain their dreams. One came to be known as the Door of Time. Only with the Ocarina of Time, protected by the royal family, and the three spiritual stones guarded by the major races, could the Door of Time to the Temple of Time be entered and the Master Sword collected from the Pedestal of Time by the Hero of Time, acting as the final lock between the real world and the Sacred Realm. As luck would have it, being the Hero of Time and all, the other two owners of the Triforce pieces are a megalomaniac Gerudo king and the princess he just captured. You got some catching up to do to save her but don't worry. Your fairy friend will help. Have fun!

Once there, he's jacked into a program called the Animus, a la "Neo" and "The Matrix", a device that somehow allows a person to relive their ancestors' lives via "genetic memory." It's revealed that Abstergo is run by an ancient group of "Templars", who maintain an ever-so-likely goal of world domination and life-long badassery. Using Desmond's ancestor, the Templars attempt to discover the location and nature of the "Pieces of Eden", ancient artifacts sought after by the Templars and The Brotherhood of Assassins. By force, Desmond enters the boots of his distant ancestor Altair from 12th century Holy Land, who, after dispatching a number of morally questionable individuals, discovers a fragment of the "Piece of Eden." Deciding they no longer need him, Abstergo attempts to kill Desmond but falls short, allowing his escape. Desmond then uses an Animus held by the present-day Brotherhood of Assassins to relive the life of another ancestor, Ezio from the Renaissance, who discovers the final part of the "Piece of Eden". Knowledge in hand, the stage is now set for an epic confrontation between Brotherhood and Templars in the distant past, the slightly less distant past, and the not so distant future. Have fun!

Once upon a time in the mystical land of Tamriel, the benevolent ruler of Cyrodil, Emperor Uriel Septim VII, is secretly usurped and banished to Oblivion by none other than Jafar, er, I mean "Jagar," the king's most trusted advisor. However, our hero is able to oust Jagar by traipsing throughout all the provinces of Tamriel and gathering pieces of the mystical MacGuffin Staff, which is never heard about or seen again despite all of the BS. Years later, a new hero is hired by Uriel Septim to sail to Daggerfall and investigate numerous mysterious goings-on. Once arrived, Sir-or-Madam Hero discovers a plot to reactivate a humongous fancy mecha. After deciding who gets control over Optimus, in the end it turns out all possible endings are canon, except where the robot goes bezerk and Goomba-stomps the whole of Tamriel. A few more years later, a disease known as The Blight is sweeping across the North-Eastern province of Morrowind. Papa Uriel, showing the same kind of ingenious logic he used when he appointed his grand vizier, chooses to send a convicted criminal to solve the problem. Shockingly enough though, the criminal-hero manages to stop The Blight Kratos-style by killing a local evil god. High fives all around! Funnily enough, this wouldn't be the last time someone is released from prison to save the day, but this time ol' Uriel is assassinated by a cult with a name pulled straight from the emo poetry of a highschool girl. Fortunately, our hero, with the aid of Martin Septim, is able to stop the invasion and save Tamriel from certain ruination. Of course, now it's time for the new Elder Scrolls and it's the doomiest one yet! Alduin, the Nordic aspect of Akatosh (the dragon-god of time), has returned to destroy the current riffraff and begin a new dragony filled world. However, our latest hero is the last of the Dragonborn, a person born with the "soul of a dragon" who might be able to save the day by defeating the god of time and his army of gigantic, evil dark dragon spirits who eat entire towns much larger than you on a regular basis.

Once upon a time their was a lady adventurer with a huge rack... of guns, who was hired to find a mysterious artifact called the Scion by a wealthy businesswoman. This lady of course, was Lara Croft who, after dealing with the aftermath of the businesswoman's inevitable betrayal, took it upon herself to find the two remaining pieces of the Scion in order to keep it out of her ex-employers sinisterly well-manicured hands. Lara would have many adventures like this over the years, from finding the legendary Dagger of Xian before an evil cult could exploit it's mystic potential, to breaking into Area 51, to re-sealing the Egyptian god Set in his prison sarcophagus, all with nothing to aid her but her wits, mastery of poor camera controls, and her pair of gigantic... pistols. However, in time this Lara ran it's course, and a new set of developers decided to reboot the franchise and focus more on her rear... ing, as the first game in the rebooted series focuses heavily on Lara's backstory and is actually a prequel to the rebooted version of the first game, which came out later. Anyway, after the sequel in which Lara went to Hell (literally and possibly figuratively, depending on your opinion of the game), the reins to Tomb Raider were handed off once more. In the new reboot of the rebooted franchise, Lara has only recently started out on her career as an adventurer. While onboard a ship sailing to an unknown foreign shore, the ship has an accident and sinks, leaving Lara stranded on an unknown island somewhere in the South Pacific. Now all Lara has to do is survive with little in the way of supplies; and while this seems bad enough on it's own, who knows what unknown dangers await on the mysterious island. Have fun.

In the not too distant future of 1999, Earth has come under attack by aliens who want to invade and enslave humanity -- the usual story. The nations of the world, finding themselves unable to repel the alien menace individually, decide to form a multinational team to defend and protect the earth! Uh, no, not them. Snappily named X-COM, which stands for extraterrestrial combat unit, the group uses a captured alien power source, Elerium, to develop advanced weaponry, armor, and the mysterious technology known as turn-based gameplay. Having repelled the alien menace by crushing their base on Mars under the sea, the team inadvertently poisoned all of the Earth's oceans. Well done. The third games takes place a 100 years on, and dome cities on Earth are under attack from UFO's portaling in through strange tetrahedron shaped warp pods. After that, the little known X-COM Interceptor changed the genre to space shooter. And the new game, just called XCOM with no hyphen, will switch to a first person shooter set in an alternate 1960's. I'm sure this won't alienate the fan base. Oh ho ho! Let's just hope it doesn't suck. Have Fun! Want more TGS?

Once upon a time, a government known as The Court was doing a terrible job ruling the land of Albion. When the citizens refused to bow to their wishes, The Court, comprised of The Knight, Jack, and Queen of Blades, punished their people by scorching the earth, raising the ocean and eventually driving whoever was left into madness. Luckily a blacksmith and his lady friend had a boy and named him William, possessing powers of the mind, which would come to be known as ~The Powers of Will~. Such a creative name. Or possibly a pun? Anyway, William was transported into the Void where he defeated Jack and stole from him the magical Sword of Aeons. The sword spoke to Willy, promising to help him defeat the Court in exchange for his soul. William agreed. With the Court now defeated, William became the newly crowned king and Archon, unifying Albion at last. Albion prospered under a thousand years of peace BUT William's children grew restless with the Power of Will granted to them by their bloodline and turned to terrorizing the land. Willy, weak from his battles with The Court, was unable to stop them and disappeared. Without their leader, Albion became corrupted. Fortunately, William was in hiding, taking up the identity of Scythe, a wise old man. With his assistance, a bandit named Nostro used his powers to force peace on a kingdom descended into chaos. Nostro is later corrupted by his power and poisoned by an assassin, but the Heroes' Guild continues to thrive after his death. Many years later, a heroine from the Guild known as Scarlet Robe, a direct descendant from the Archons, gives birth to a son who would become The Hero of Oakvale and set off the events in Fable.

One day in an alternate universe, the Soul Edge was an ordinary, happy sword, but the blood and hatred of centuries past gained the blade a demonic soul called Inferno. Legend tells that those who try to wield the Soul Edge are consumed and driven insane by its power, a warning that really should be paid attention to but people are rarely that smart. King Algol, the first known bearer of the Soul Edge, was strong enough to conquer it, but his jealous son -- Arcturus -- was not. Eventually possessed, Arcturus was slain by his dad out of necessity and the King, driven by vengeance, sacrificed himself to create the holy blade known as Soul Calibur, the only weapon that could possibly destroy the demon within Soul Edge. In the 16th century, the crafty and shape-shifting Soul Edge resurfaces as a pair of twin blades aboard the ship of captain Cervantes de Leon. Possessed by their power, Cervantes slaughters his crew and chills in a Spanish port-town (which he also massacred) for about 25 years. It's at this point that a holy warrior named Sophitia appears and is able to destroy the smaller of the two blades while a demon huntress named Taki also shows up and kills Cervantes himself. with Cervantes no longer in control, a young man named Siegfried, broken and deranged after accidentally beheading his father, finds Soul Edge and is easily possessed, assuming the role as the Azure Knight, Nightmare, and devoting his life to consuming souls. What a great guy. With 7 games about two swords, the warriors who are after them and a dynamic breasts-physics system, how can you go wrong? Have fun!

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com --- Transcript: Long ago in the Forbidden Land, a god named Dormin was worshipped by all and everything was grand. Eventually, as is usually the case, a new religion came into power and the people were turned against him. It was believed that Dormin was an evil being, as many horned entities are, and he was imprisoned in the Shrine of Worship by Lord Emon, a powerful shaman, who split Dormin's essence and power into 16 enormous creatures known as the Colossi. Our hero, aptly named Wander, journeys into the Forbidden land to save a mysterious woman named Mono. Placing her on the altar in the Shrine of Worship, he makes a deal with the Dormin, who is said to have the power to resurrect: only when the sixteen idols lining the hall are destroyed will Dormin once again have the power to bring Mono back to life. Unfortunately, it's not quite that easy when the idols will only be destroyed after each Colossi is slain by the Ancient Sword. Not one to be outdone, with his valiant steed Agro, the Ancient Sword with indeterminate magical properties, and a bow to help him on this dangerous path to save his damsel in distress, Wander takes off to fight Valus, Quadratus, Gaius, Phaedra, Avion, Barba, Hydrus, Kuromori Basaran, Dirge Celosi, Pelagia, Phalanx, Cenobia Argus and Malus.

In the year 1947 Aperture Science Enrichment Center was created to make shower curtains for the US Military. The owner, Cave Johnson, fell ill thanks to his secret production of a Conversion Gel made from Lunar rocks prompting him to produce a three-tiered research program to ensure the longevity of his company. First, The Heimlich Counter-Maneuver. Second, The Take-A-Wish Foundation and third, The Portal Project which included the making of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. The latter was endlessly funded by the Senate and Johnson went on to... well, die. Fast forward many years later when an AI research assistant known as "Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System" - aka GLaDOS - is activated on the Enrichment Center's first Bring Your Daughter To Work day. After releasing a neuro-toxin, locking everyone inside and taking over the facility, GLaDOS is equipped with a morality core to keep her dickish impulses in line. The morality core is a failure, shock. and thus, the Aperture Test Chambers were created for GLaDOS's enjoyment. The remaining employees were forced to further develop and test the Portal Project using the nifty portal guns. It's unknown how long those poor souls lasted in the nearly abandoned Enrichment Center but eventually GLaDOS finds herself with only one test subject left, Chell, who GLaDOS wakes up from her stasis bed. GLaDOS tells Chell she's trapped in the Enrichment Center and must make her way through the test chambers...and so, the adventure that is Portal BEGINS! Good job. Have fun. Want more TGS?

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com Transcript: LORE - Metal Gear Solid Lore in a Minute! Our story begins in the Cold War fueled 1960's where CIA operative Naked Snake is sent into Russia to hunt down and defeat his former mentor, the Boss; since just a month earlier she defected to the Soviet Union, threw Snake off a bridge, and gave a nuke to human lightning rod Colonel Volgon who promptly used it on Russian soil to frame the US. The military kinda frowns on such conduct. While sneaking, snake eating, and romancing his way through the jungle, Snake battles the Cobra Unit aka Russia's version of the X-men. Oh and Revolver Ocelot too but he's kind of a bitch in this one.Anyway, after destroying the Metal Gear Prototype and saving the day, Snake fights and kills the Boss and returns home a National Hero, taking the title of Big Boss. But in the first of many plot twists, it is revealed that the Boss was actually a double agent for the U.S. and was sacrificed so their cover wouldn't be blown. Big Boss isn't too happy about being tricked into killing his mentor, so he leaves the States and ventures out intoCentral America, collecting soldiers like Pokemon to create an army of mercinaries. Eventually Big Boss decided to settle down on his very own island. Flash forward to 1995 and rookie Foxhound operative Solid Snake is sent to Outer Heaven to rescue captured scientists, locate his buddy Grey Fox, and destroy Metal Gear. After fighting some bosses with some pretty hilarious names, Snake picks up some C4 and destroys Metal Gear. But before Snake can peace out, Big Boss reveals himself to be behind everything and that his intentions were to establish Outer Heaven as a world superpower. Snake defeats Big Boss in Mortal Kombat then GTFO's as the base explodes. Flash forward a couple years later and apparently no one learned anything because the same thing happens in Zanzibar. Only this time Big Boss is defeated for real...probably. But now, in 2005, Snake is forced out of retirement for one more job. Can Snake rescue the Armstech president, the Darpa chief, and stop Metal Gear REX? And who's this Liquid Snake? Why does he have the same face as Solid Snake? Whose footprints are these? Oops.

Altman is then found and murdered by two Marker-influenced government agents, utilizing genetic data lifted from his body to reconstruct the Black Marker.

Welcome to the planet Sera, where everything's gone to shit and the men are muscle-bound like Belgian prize cattle. So here's the deal: fourteen years ago, the Locust decided to emerge from the ground in a day we call -- wait for it -- Emergence Day. They started fucking shit up, but keep in mind that this is actually their planet and the humans are the invaders which basically means, yep, WE'RE THE BAD GUYS. You are Marcus Fenix and you wear a do-rag. This is your buddy, Dom. Together, you are Delta Squad, a team of 400 pound men who are the only useful component in an entire army. In the first game, you have to take this thing called a resonator that - wait for it -- resonates, but then it doesn't really resonate, so you just have to kill everyone. You set off a lightmass bomb, kill a general named RAAM, blah blah blah, lo and behold, it turns out this didn't really do much at all, because come on, there are two more games left in this trilogy. So Gears 2 starts and everything has gone more to shit, and, to top it all off, it turns out the Locust are being run by a Queen who as far as we can tell is Dame Judi Dench. So there's that. For the sake of level design variety, but for no discernible tactical edge whatsoever, you drill down into the ground to fight the Locust on their own turf. You pew pew for a while and then hey, you're back on the surface. You fight some Locust in a crazy laboratory where it seems like there might be some story but the big twist -- wait for it -- is that there isn't! So you go back underground, where you learn that some of the Locust have become Lambent—a new and exciting enemy that looks like the Locust, talks like the Locust, shoots like the Locust, but get this... they explode! So you flood the Locust tunnels by destroying Jacinto, the one last remaining human stronghold on the entire planet, because that makes perfect sense.... And of course, it didn't work because nothing you do ever works and also because, hey, Gears of War 3. Have fun? Want more TGS?

One upon a time, the Combine Empire invaded the Vortigaunts' home world and enslaved them. The Vortigaunts fled to Xen, a border world that can be used to cross dimensions, and resided there until the events of Black Mesa. On Earth, Black Mesa is experimenting with teleportation technology with crystals retrieved from Xen. Their competitor, Aperture Science, is also developing portal technology aboard various facilities including the Borealis, a research vessel that mysteriously vanishes probably due to portal experimentation. Years later, Gman submits specific test samples to Black Mesa to be used for experimentation and triggers The Resonance Cascade, a cataclysmic quantum event that creates an inter-dimensional rift between Earth and Xen. The Vortigaunts, viewing the rift as an escape from the Combine, pass through to Earth along with other alien species. The Gman takes interest in Gordon Freeman as he demonstrates proficiency in dealing with and dispatching Xen beings and U.S. troops alike. Black Mesa is eventually destroyed by nuclear detonation to quell the incident and Gman gives Freeman an ultimatum: work for him or death. Freeman relents and Gman puts him into a stasis until he is needed again. The events at Black Mesa did not go unnoticed by The Combine Empire and they set their sights for Earth. The Combine invade Earth and install the Overwatch to enslave the human race. The Gman pulls Freeman out of stasis and he eventually leads the resistance to the downfall of the Citadel in City 17. The Combine decide to destroy the Citadel to create a super-portal in order to send a transmission to their home world requesting reinforcements. Freeman intercepts a second transmission detailing the coordinates of the lost Borealis vessel and the resistance eventually shuts down the super-portal, leading us to the events of Episode 3.

You grew up in Pallet Town, living at home with your mother, who apparently shares a bed with you cause there's only one bed in the house. Next door to you is the super smart Professor Oak. He comes to you one day, and is like, "Hey kid I barely know, how would you like to have one of these super rare Pokemon?" And so you pick the Pokemon that will be your bestest friend in the whole wide world forever and ever until you get a Pikachu. Along comes your rival, who demands a Pokemon too. He's a total jerkface, so he picks the one that's super effective against your Pokemon. No worries though, because you get to pick his name. Who's laughing now, Asshat? With your Pokemon in tow you're off on a quest to conquer the eight gym leaders. You'll put a soul to rest, liberate a major city from Team Rocket, defeat the world's most skilled Pokemon masters, the Elite Four, crush your rival (who is now the league champion), hide atop a snowy, dangerous mountain waiting for challengers, and other things a 10 year old boy is clearly capable of doing. Oh, and capture all the Pokemon. All of them. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com Transcript: LORE - Team Fortress 2 Lore in a Minute! We begin in 1850 when a wealthy Englishman, Zepheniah Mann, owner of Mann & Sons Co., is convinced by his idiot twin sons - Redmond and Blutarch - to purchase land in the United States to expand their company. Zepheniah Mann discovers that the gravel pits and dustbowls he purchased were useless and on top of that, he contracted various illnesses traveling to the United States. With his last will, which he wrote on his skin, he left his sons equal halves of his land, ensuring that they would fight over it for the rest of their lives. To capture his brother's half, Blutarch hired 9 mercenaries but unbeknownst to him, Redmond had ALSO contracted exactly 9 mercenaries to do exactly the same thing. And for the next 40 years, they would engage in an endless war because neither brother was bright enough to, perhaps, hire more mercenaries. Blutarch, nearing death from old age, contracts expert craftsman Radigan Conagher to build a machine that would extend his life. However, Radigan was also convinced to build the same machine for Redmond by a stranger offering Australium, a rare and powerful element only found in Australia that turned a nation of savages into hyper-intelligent beings. Fast forwarding to 1968, Builders League United and Reliable Excavation & Demolition, once again, recruit 9 mercenaries, the Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy Weapons Guy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, and Spy to continue the war for the land left behind by Zepheniah Mann. Helen, known as The Administrator, oversees the conflict between RED and BLU with the help of Saxton Hale who provides weapons and headgear to each side. Just remember, EVERYONE is a Spy. Have fun!

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com Transcript: LORE - Guild Wars Lore in a Minute! 3000 years ago, a race of serpents were summoned by the Gods to be the world's custodians -- they nurtured the growth and survival of other creatures while the Gods continued to build the world around them. The serpent protectors ushered in an era of balance and harmony until a race of new creatures were born: the humans. Humans, though young, craved power and control, spreading to other lands and lording over weaker beings. The serpents retreated to the Crystal Desert for some well deserved R&R after realizing the humans had undone all of their hard work. Despite this, the Gods continued to construct the world and decided the best way to fix their problem was to make the creatures of Tyria more powerful with magical abilities. It was meant to make the task of survival easier but instead, races warred against each other for dominance...which none of us saw coming. The humans suffered almost to the point of extinction but King Doric, the leader of the human tribes, traveled to the City of Gods and begged them to bring peace to Tyria. The Gods agreed and seized back the gift of magic and sealed it inside of a stone. They smashed it into five parts, sealed the stones with King Doric's blood, and dropped the five bloodstones into Abaddon's Mouth, a volcano. Peace prospered and guilds began to form in various human kingdoms, but Abaddon's Mouth would soon erupt and spit the five bloodstones across Tyria, igniting yet another throwdown. The clash between these powerful guilds for power and control of the bloodstones would be known as The Guild Wars. So...don't screw it up. Have Fun! Want more TGS?

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com Transcript: LORE - Kingdom Hearts Lore in (almost) a Minute! Our story begins during the massive conflict known as the Keyblade War. Thousands of Light and Darkness Keyblade wielders clashed in order to create the legendary X-Blade, which had the ability to summon Kingdom Hearts, the source of all power and knowledge, to its wielder. In the end, many Keyblade wielders along with the X-Blade were destroyed and darkness consumed Kingdom Hearts. Fortunately, the light within the seven hearts of children who survived the war rebuilt the universe into several worlds with barriers between them to prevent Keyblade wielders from gathering and starting a second war over the X-Blade. These seven hearts would eventually become the Princesses of Heart; Kairi, Alice, Snow White, Jasmine, Belle, Cinderella, and Aurora. Years later, Keyblade Master Xehanort, having heard legends of the Keyblade War, becomes obsessed with forging the X-Blade and unlocking Kingdom Hearts for himself. Growing old, Xehanort realizes he must transfer his essence to a new body and finds a 'host' in the boy Ventus, a Keyblade wielder. However, Ventus proves to be a poor candidate because of his refusal to embrace the darkness in his heart and Xehanort instead extracts the darkness and creates Vanitas. In order to forge the X-Blade, two hearts of light and darkness in equal power must combine, thus Xehanort leads Ventus to train under fellow Keyblade Master, Eraqus. Xehanort now chooses Terra as his new vessel. His plan nearing fruition, he lures Terra, Ventus, and Aqua to the Keyblade Graveyard for a final showdown. Terra, enraged by Xehanort's betrayal, uses darkness to defeat him but inadvertently opens his heart and allows Xehanort to transfer his essence, becoming Terra-Xehanort. Meanwhile, Vanitas fuses with Ventus, creating the X-Blade but is damaged by Aqua and King Mickey. Engaging in a battle within, Ventus destroys Vanitas, the X-Blade, and his own heart. The destruction of the X-Blade results in an explosion that transports Terra-Xehanort to Destiny Islands and leaves Aqua in the 'Lanes Between'. Somehow, Ventus heart makes its way to and becomes a part of Sora, setting the stage for Kingdom Hearts. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Left 4 Dead begins sometime after the outbreak of the Green Flu, a fairly modest name for what's probably a level 4 biohazard organism, which yes, turns people into zombies. A group of four survivors, Bill, Zoe, Francis, and Louis are mysteriously immune to the outbreak, and make their way through Pennsylvania in an attempt to find an extraction zone. Along the way they encounter various mutated Infected, that include the Smoker that chokes people to death with its bacon-like tongue, the Hunter, a mildly fashionable Infected that pounces survivors, the Boomer, a large fellow with a penchant for vomiting, the Tank, a larger, muscle-bound fellow that can throw just about anything at you, and finally the Witch, who absolutely HATES flashlights. Our ragtag group of survivors nearly make it out until the military transports them to a base to be lab rats for a possible cure. The military doctor tells them they are carriers of the disease and have been infecting those around them. A rebellious lieutenant, weary of the carriers, sounds the evacuation alarm - and yes - the Infected LOVE loud noises. So naturally the base is overrun, and the survivors attempt to escape while hordes of the Infected corner them. Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com Transcript: LORE - Bioshock Lore in a Minute! Andrew Ryan, an extremely wealthy Russian immigrant, believed that one could own what one earned. To live in a society based on that belief, he turned towards creating Rapture. Construction on Rapture began in 1946 on the seafloor of the Atlantic Ocean and was designed to be entirely independent from surface societies. Scientists, artists, and doctors flocked to Rapture for the promise of a society without censor or moral restraints. Ryan considered these people the best examples of humankind. However, Ryan did not account for the workers who had built Rapture, thus creating a large divide between them and the elite. Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum, a genetic scientist, discovered that sea slugs secreted a substance that behaved like stem cells, and with it, she could manipulate DNA. Funded by smuggler Frank Fontaine, Dr. Tenenbaum was able to cure diseases and grant organisms powers they called this ADAM. Soon after, she made another breakthrough: if the slug was implanted into a host, it would produce nearly 30 times the amount of ADAM. Only one test subject seemed to yield results - young girls. Fontaine would then set up the Little Sister's Orphanage which doubled as a ADAM factory. Fontaine Futuristics began to produce ADAM products, Gene Tonics and Plasmids, and sold them to the populace. A genetic arms race broke out as Ryan attempted to arrest Fontaine, but Fontaine faked his own death. Ryan assumes control of Fontaine Futuristics and creates Ryan Industries. Returning under the moniker, Atlas, Fontaine wages guerrilla warfare, thus sparking a large-scale civil war in Rapture. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Before King Allant's rise to the throne, the world was once victim to a scourge of Demons unleashed by The Old One, an entity of unfathomable power. The Monumentals, defined by those with prophetic knowledge, combined their knowledge of the Soul Arts to return The Old One back to its slumber. However, the Demon scourge had claimed nearly half of all humankind. Archstones were created throughout the world as a means of inter-regional travel and life was returned to these places. The Nexus, a hidden temple that binds together the land of Boletaria, is a hub for souls hoping to reclaim their bodies. Below the Nexus is the slumbering Old One, which promises unlimited prosperity to any who gives himself up to it. King Allant the XII, hoping to bring this prosperity to his kingdom, gave himself to the Old One, thus awakening it and bringing about a colorless fog that swept the land. Scouts were sent to investigate the fog but none would return, until Vallarfax of the Twin Fangs successfully returned. He learned that within the fog lie Demons who feasted on the souls of mankind and those who lost their souls, lost their minds. You are Boletaria's last hope, a lone warrior brave enough to fight the demons of the Old One. Then there's that part where you're immediately killed in the tutorial. But you come back and now you're really Boletaria's last hope! Have fun! Want more TGS?

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com Transcript: LORE - Devil May Cry Lore in a Minute! Two millennia ago, the Devil Prince Mundus ruled over the Demon world. It was not enough, however, and he planned to conquer the Human world and rule over both realms. One of his most loyal generals, Sparda, rebelled and single-handedly defeated Mundus and his demon army. After sealing Mundus in a marble vault, Sparda turned his attention towards the Temen-ni-gru, the gateway between the demon and human realms. To close the gateway, Sparda combined his own blood and the blood of a human priestess using his sword and the Perfect Amulet which would serve as the key to the gateway. Then, just in case, he imprisoned within the Temen-ni-gru tower its gatekeepers; Cerberus, Agni & Rudra, Nevan, Leviathan, and Beowulf. If that wasn't enough, he also took the Seven Sins, a group of fallen Angels--the personifications of the seven sins and set them as seals by nailing them to the earth with cursed stakes. Oh, and he sends the whole lot of them underground. Forever. Sparda then reappears in the twentieth century to make beautiful demon love to a beautiful human woman named Eva and gives her the Perfect Amulet, which is still the key to unlocking the gateway to the demon world. She would eventually split the amulet into two halves and gift them to her twins, Dante and Vergil. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com Transcript: Samus Aran's story begins on K-2L, a colony housing the precious crystal, Afloraltite. Ridley and the Space Pirates raid the colony for Afloraltite, destroying everything in the process. Samus' father, Rodney, decides that the only sensible thing to do is to blow up the ship carrying all the Afloraltite, along with himself. Ridley encounters a young Samus, and just before he kills her, Samus' mother, sacrifices herself to save her. The Chozo, an race of alien birds, discover the orphaned Samus and take her to Zebes to raise her because having alien birds for parents isn't creepy or traumatic at all. They infuse her with Chozo DNA and gift her with the Power Suit to help her endure Zebes conditions. The Chozo elders meet to discuss the threat of X-Parasites, an organism that can infect a host, replicate its DNA, and kill the host in the process. The Chozos fear that if revealed to the galaxy, X-Parasites might be abused for its power. To combat X-Parasites, they engineered the Metroid, a bioweapon meant to prey on X-Parasites because fighting a deadly parasite with another deadly parasite was the only solution they could come up with. Ridley and his Space Pirates raid Zebes for Chozo tech and their Metroid. In the process, the Chozo-built supercomputer, Mother Brain, decides she is way too smart for her creators and joins Ridley to replace the obsolete Chozo race with Space Pirates. But Samus escapes Zebes and so begins Metroid! Have fun! LORE - Metroid Lore in a Minute! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com --- Transcript: On a distant planet known as Gaia, an energy-manufacturing mega-corp known as Shin-Ra is super busy harvesting the life force of the planet for the big bucks. The Lifestream and products created with it have the ability to grant the wisdom of the ancients to the user, simultaneously bridging the gap between the planet and her people while also slowly killing the planet in general. Though blissfully aware of their impact, Shin-Ra continues to ruin everyone's lives and slowly, the metropolis of Midgar is little more than an expanse of slums and factories. Besides pillaging and destroying Gaia from the inside-out, Shinra is also heavily invested in Mako energy's military applications, namely the Jenova project. President Shinra, realizing Gaia had a finite supply of Lifestream, became obsessed with the Cetra, a race of people who lived on Gaia long before humans. Cetra legend dictates the existence of 'The Promised Land' where Lifestream was nearly limitless, meaning bigger bucks! To reach The Promised Land, Shinra would need a Cetra, which they found in the Jenova excavation. Except Jenova was an alien well-versed in genocide. Oops. Mistakenly believing Jenova was Cetra, President Shinra proceeds to combine Jenova cells, Mako energy, and a human host to create an elite military unit known as SOLDIER. This project results in the birth of Sephiroth, who later finds out genocidal tendencies are indeed hereditary. Now as Cloud, a mercenary and self-proclaimed ex-member of SOLDIER, a seemingly simple mission may very well result in a series of events that change the planet for good. Have fun!

Left in ruins by Batman's final showdown with a Titan-enhanced Joker, Arkham Asylum is deemed no longer capable of housing the criminals of Gotham City by its newly appointed mayor and ex-warden of Arkham Asylum, Quincy Sharp. The brother-sister crime duo known as T&T, also jacked on Titan, make an attack on City Hall, and when they're thwarted by good 'ol Batman, they resort to blowing themselves up. Titan is a nasty drug. With Gotham City hall demolished and the populace in panic, Quincy Sharp takes this opportunity to declare martial law and reveal his plans for 'Arkham City.' Sharp plans to wall off half of the city to house criminals in an open-air detention facility, which effectively makes half of Gotham a playground for Batman's enemies. Mayor Quincy Sharp - wicked mastermind, you ask? Not so, as he's merely a puppet for an evil psychiatrist. Enter Hugo Strange - Arkham Asylum's resident psychiatrist and sinister architect of the Arkham City Project. His deranged obsession with Batman has led him to believe Bruce Wayne and the Bat are one and the same. Strange, having set the stage for chaos, wields absolute power in politics and crime alike and now sets his sights on the Batman.

"Metaly" Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.vghangover.com --- Transcript: The Atlas Corporation, an interplanetary megacorp, discovered ancient alien technology on the planet of Promethea. Reverse engineering the technology brought them to the forefront in weapons manufacturing, sparking a gold rush for alien tech buried beneath other planets. Hot on the heels of their discovery, Atlas colonized Pandora in hopes for their second big discovery. Colonists flocked to Pandora and whispers of The Vault, a cache of alien tech, began to spread like wildfire. A massive influx of Fortune Hunters settled on Pandora in search of The Vault. However, the colonists did not heed the planet's warning: Summer is coming! And with the first summer came the local fauna out of hibernation, overjoyed with the delicious meals roaming their territory. With increasing lawlessness, hostility, and most importantly, unprofitability, Atlas decided to withdraw from Pandora. However, that did not deter the Dahl Corporation from settling on Pandora. Under the guise of mining for minerals, Dahl sought out the location of The Vault by employing Patricia Tannis, a xeno-archaeologist. Soon thereafter a fragment of the Vault Key was discovered, much to the delight of Atlas and their military force, the Crimson Lance. In the face of an impending invasion and poor investments, the Dahl Corporation decides to take off, leaving thousands of employees behind, including Patricia Tannis and her unhealthy obsession with finding The Vault. Tannis, having developed an irrational phobia of leaving her camp site, sends out a signal calling for Vault Hunters to uncover the secrets of The Vault. Have fun!

Along with the cloud returned people who had abruptly gone missing with no recollection of what happened. The editor-in-chief of the Mothersday Times, George, set out to investigate these incidents and the day he published his findings, he and his wife, Maria, vanished from Podunk. But more accurately; they were abducted by aliens! The alien race that abducted the couple entrusted them with raising an infant alien known as Giygas because humans make excellent extraterrestrial babysitters. Maria raised Giygas as one of her own, doing motherly things like singing him lullabies, while George studied the aliens' PSI powers without permission. He then inexplicably returns to Podunk two years later, leaving his family behind. What a terrible father. George, having stolen the secrets of PSI, is now a wanted man. A matured Giygas is tasked with killing George so humans may never know the power of PSI, but George and Maria are his only family. He gets over his moral dilemma remembering that George was the worst dad ever. Giygas happens upon the Apple of Enlightenment which foretells Giygas' defeat at the hands a child named Ness. To disprove this prophecy, he attacks Earth 20 years earlier than was prophesied and is defeated by... other children. More specifically: the great-grandson of George and Maria, Ninten. So he retreats and vows to return when nobody can grasp the true form of Giygas' attack! Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Charged with preserving the delicate balance between the three realms of Heaven, Hell, and the Kingdom of Man, the council ordered a shaky truce between Heaven and Hell in order to allow mankind to grow and thrive. When man was equal in power to the Angels and Demons, The Seven Seals would be broken, bringing about the End War and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. But when six of The Seven Seals are prematurely broken, the Apocalypse arrives with Earth as the final battlefield. The Apocalypse all but annihilated the young human race while the forces of Heaven and Hell warred against each other. A lone horseman of the Apocalypse, War, is summoned to Earth without his siblings; Strife, Fury, and Death. War, having broken the ancient laws that preserved the balance of the universe, realized he was wrongfully called to the Kingdom of Man. Convicted by the Charred Council of prematurely unleashing the Apocalypse, inciting a war, and aiding Hell, War was sentenced to death. However, the council reconsiders after War's pleas to return him to Earth to bring justice to those guilty of framing him. He is sent to Earth 100 years later where Hell has conquered the Kingdom of Man and sets out to clear his name. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Two brothers, Kratos and Deimos, born and raised in Sparta were natural warriors. Deimos, the younger brother, bore an unusual red birthmark across his body. Whispers from an Oracle foretold the destruction of the Olympians at the hands of a Marked Warrior. Fearing that Deimos may be that warrior, the Gods devised a plan to disprove the prophecy. Ares and Athena descended into Sparta to kidnap Deimos. Kratos was struck down, leaving a permanent scar over his eye. Ares then imprisoned Deimos where he would remain in torment. To honor his brother, Kratos tattooed across his body the birthmark of Deimos. Years pass but despite Kratos' victories, he and his Spartans were no match for the bloodthirsty Barbarian tribes. Kratos desperately pledged allegiance to Ares in exchange for victory. His request was granted and Kratos was bound to the Blades of Chaos as a sign of his servitude. Kratos served Ares loyally, slaughtering scores of innocents and burning cities to the ground. Ares recognized Kratos could become death incarnate itself and hatched a plan that would rid Kratos of his mortal restraints. By order of Ares, Kratos destroyed an entire village and in his bloodthirsty rage, mistakenly slaughtered his wife and daughter. The village oracle cursed Kratos, condemning him to wear the ashes of his family forever, earning the name 'The Ghost of Sparta.' Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

In the year 65,000,000 B.C., a mysterious gem known as the Dreamstone accelerates the evolution of lifeforms on Earth, producing 2 sentient species: Reptites and humans. They fought for centuries until a massive alien parasite known as Lavos crash-lands on the planet and ushers in the Ice Age, annihilating the Reptites and forcing humans underground. Lavos lies dormant for millions of years, influencing and cultivating Earth and its lifeforms in order to harvest its energy and produce genetically enhanced spawns of itself to repeat this cycle on other planets. Lavos would reap the planet's energy until the Day of Lavos in 1999 A.D., when it erupted from the Earth and rained apocalypse down on human civilization. But in the year 1000 A.D. when Princess Marle volunteers to demonstrate a teleportation device made by an inventor, Lucca, her magical pendant reacts and creates a time portal. Crono bravely follows Marle to the year 600 A.D. rescuing her and restoring the timeline, but is sentenced to death back home for kidnapping the princess. To escape his execution, the three haphazardly create another portal, this time arriving in 2300 A.D. to a post-apocalyptic Earth where they witness a video-recording of the Day of Lavos. Vowing to save the Earth, they time-travel together with a cavewoman, a robot, a demon king, a large frog with sword and set out to defeat Lavos!

Our hero, Daniel, despite his intense fear of the dark, goes on an archaeological expedition to Algeria where he uncovers an ancient tomb. The tomb entrance collapses on Daniel, forcing him to venture deeper before coming upon a mysterious Orb. Rescued hours later, he returned to England where he sought out information on the Orb. Daniel learns that the expedition team he left behind disappeared and everybody he's come in contact with regarding the orb has turned up dead. Daniel then receives a letter from Baron Alexander of Brennenburg, offering to protect him within the confines of his castle. Fearing for his life and desperately seeking answers for the connection between the Orb and the deaths, he travels to Castle Brennenburg. There, it becomes clear that an unknown force, known as The Shadow, has been murdering those around Daniel and has followed him to the castle. To keep The Shadow away and buy time for his banishing ritual, Alexander insisted that the two must extract Vitae from prisoners, a substance that is secreted in the blood during times of stress. Daniel took part in these gruesome tortures and fed prisoners Amnesia potions so they could be tortured repeatedly until they were all dead. Alexander then kidnapped a family, killing the father and imprisoning the mother and her daughter. The daughter managed to escape but Daniel tracked her down and murdered her. In his remorse, Daniel realized that the baron had been murdering innocents all along in order to obtain the Orb's power for himself. Unable to come to grips with what he had done, Daniel consumed an Amnesia Drink and left himself one final note: Find Alexander and murder him. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Sargeras, a Titan entrusted with protecting the universe, spent countless millennia battling demons from the Twisting Nether. As eons passed, Sargeras became corrupted by the very demons he destroyed. Having refused the Titans' vision of an ordered universe, Sargeras left their ranks and resolved to undo all their work. He released the demons he imprisoned and recruited Kil'Jaeden the Deceiver to raise an army, and Archimonde the Defiler to lead his invasion. And with that, he set upon a Burning Crusade throughout the universe. Sargeras grew attracted to the Well of Eternity, the heart of Azeroth's magical and natural power, thus setting in motion the plans for his next invasion. Queen Azshara of the elven people fell victim to Sargeras' undeniable power and agreed to summon him and his army into the world through the Well of Eternity. Malfurion Stormrage and his allies, with no other choice, destroyed the Well of Eternity, causing the Great Sundering that split Kalimdor into 4. Still, Sargeras would not be denied. Aegwynn, a Guardian appointed to combat the Burning Legion, is drawn to a demonic presence in Northrend. There she encounters and defeats the avatar of Sargeras and casts his body to the depths of the ocean. Unbeknownst to her, Sargeras transferred his spirit into her body where he would lie dormant for many years. Aegwynn later gave birth to a son who she would name Medivh. Both her power and the sinister spirit of Sargeras were passed down, during which Sargeras made his final plans for his second invasion. Medivh's terrible powers begin take hold of his body and mind, and he would begin constructing the Dark Portal. Meanwhile, Kil'Jaeden had successfully enslaved and empowered the Orcish clans of Draenor, setting the stage for a war that would change Azeroth forever. Have fun!

In a time when God and Man lived together in harmony, there existed a kingdom named Angel Land. Two beautiful goddesses ruled over this kingdom; Palutena oversaw the light and Medusa governed the darkness. Palutena ruled from her Palace in the Sky, showering mankind in light so they could grow food but Medusa enjoyed drying up the crop and occasionally turning people into stone. Palutena, upset that her work was constantly being undone, transformed Medusa into a monster and banished her into the Underworld. No longer a beautiful goddess, Medusa swore revenge and raised an army of monsters in the Underworld. Medusa then mounted a surprise invasion on Palutena's palace, defeating her army handily and securing the Three Sacred Treasures: the Mirror Shield, Arrow of Light, and Wings of Pegasus. Imprisoned in the Palace of the Sky, Palutena enlisted her personal bodyguard, Pit, to defeat Medusa and her army. With the help of Palutena's bow and arrow, Pit escaped from the Underworld where he was held prisoner and set out to retrieve the Three Sacred Treasures, rescue Palutena, and restore light to Angel Land.

Silent Hill, a quaint little town in Maine, New England, was a scenic resort area until people started disappearing or dying in the lake nearby. Then the people responsible for promoting the town as a family-friendly tourist destination turned up dead. The townsfolk believed that these deaths were tied to a doomsday cult known as The Order, who believed bringing about the apocalypse was their ticket to Paradise and a more profitable tourism department. The priestess of The Order, Dahlia Gillespie, birthed a daughter with paranormal powers. Believing her daugther, Alessa, to be linked to The Order's god, she decided the best way to bring her god to Silent Hill was to impregnate her 7-year old by ritual of fire. Dahlia set fire to their home with Alessa trapped inside. Alessa survived but the seed had been planted - Dahlia would soon be a grandmother. The Order nursed her wounds but Alessa refused to deliver their god. Using her paranormal powers, she split her soul in two, one half remaining with her body and the other inexplicably appearing in the form of a precious newborn. Found and adopted by Harry Mason and his wife, they named her Cheryl. Harry and Cheryl eventually return to Silent Hill, and upon their arrival, Cheryl triggers Alessa's reality-bending powers, shrouding Silent Hill in a mysterious fog. After swerving to avoid a young girl in the road, Harry crashes his car and is knocked unconscious. Harry wakes up to find Cheryl missing and is forced to venture into Silent Hill to search for his daughter. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

We begin in 1850 when a wealthy Englishman, Zepheniah Mann, owner of Mann & Sons Co., is convinced by his idiot twin sons - Redmond and Blutarch - to purchase land in the United States to expand their company. Zepheniah Mann discovers that the gravel pits and dust bowls he purchased were useless and on top of that, he contracted various illnesses traveling to the United States. With his last will, which he wrote on his skin, he left his sons equal halves of his land, ensuring that they would fight over it for the rest of their lives. To capture his brother's half, Blutarch hired 9 mercenaries but unbeknownst to him, Redmond had ALSO contracted exactly 9 mercenaries to do exactly the same thing. And for the next 40 years, they would engage in an endless war because neither brother was bright enough to, perhaps, hire more mercenaries. Blutarch, nearing death from old age, contracts expert craftsman Radigan Conagher to build a machine that would extend his life. However, Radigan was also convinced to build the same machine for Redmond by a stranger offering Australium, a rare and powerful element only found in Australia that turned a nation of savages into hyper-intelligent beings. After fighting for decades, Redmond and Blutarch realize that they have no sons to carry on their family legacy. They put aside their differences and resolve to build a machine to get one of them pregnant, but not before Gray Mann reveals himself to be their long-lost brother, then murders them. Abducted as an infant and raised by eagles, Gray returns with a legion of deadly robots that run on piles of money and launches an all-out assault on Mann Co. and its CEO, Saxton Hale. Have fun!

Transcript: In the distant future, humankind discovers a 'meta-jumpgate' which allows travel over galactic distances. The meta-jumpgate was part of a network of jump routes, and would set off The Diaspora, the rapid expansion of humankind into the farthest reaches of the galaxy. The first generation of travelers settled on the galactic frontier, known as the Wilderzone, and these settlers broke off into a tribe, escaping the rule of the Empire and calling themselves the Children of the Phoenix. The Empire sends a force of Imperial Knights, The Order of the Blood Eagle, to subdue the Children and claim the Wilderzone. The conflict fractures the Children of the Phoenix, causing groups to break away to form more tribes. Then, the Blood Eagles declare themselves an independent tribe after decades away from home without support from the Empire. Shazbot! A power struggle ensues between the Four Great Tribes: the Blood Eagles, Children of Phoenix, Diamond Sword, and Starwolf. As each tribe was at war, the Children negotiated a ceasefire to achieve a peaceful solution called the Firetruce. In addition to diplomacy, it included games where tribes would compete for medals and glory. But after every Firetruce, the tribes would re-engage in a war of skiing, disc-launching, and flag-capturing, which is just a deadlier version of the Olympics... in space.

Transcript Sir Francis Drake, an English Vice Admiral and second-in-command of the English fleet, was the first Englishman to circumnavigate the Earth. Having conducted many campaigns against the Spanish, he finally suffered his most crushing defeat in Puerto Rico and retreated to Panama in 1596. There, he faked his death and had an empty coffin buried at sea, containing only his diary which held the coordinates of the fabled El Dorado. He then travelled to an uncharted island where the Spanish hid El Dorado, and there he learned of its terrible curse. In his youth, Nathan Drake, a name he had given himself, was raised in the Saint Francis Boy's Home where he learned about the voyages of Francis Drake. This lead him to attend a Francis Drake exhibit which had his ring on display. Believing he was a descendant of Francis Drake, Nathan's intention was to 'reclaim' the ring for his family. However, Victor Sullivan, hired by Katherine Marlowe, leader to a secret Hermetic order, also intended to steal the ring. Marlowe ordered her men to kill Nathan, but Sullivan intervened and escaped with Nathan and the ring, which had the coordinates of Francis' coffin burial site inscribed upon it. The two became partners, traveling the world in search of rare treasures while still seeking the coffin of Francis Drake. But when Nathan is double-crossed and left penniless after a heist, he can no longer afford to search for the coffin. Still, Nathan has a plan to recover the coffin by taking advantage of Elena Fisher, a journalist and host of the popular archaeology TV show, Uncharted. Willing to fund Nathan's expedition in return for a story and TV coverage, the three set out on an adventure to uncover the secret of El Dorado.

Orbiting Saturn, The Citadel is notable for its genetic, pharmacological, and robotic research labs controlled by an artificial intelligence program, the Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network, or SHODAN. It was designed as a semi-intelligent data network guided by logic and morality programs, and it remained self-sufficient until, of course, it's sabotaged. In 2072, a hacker breaks into the TriOptimum network but is quickly apprehended. Rather than putting him away, the VP of Marketing, Edward Diego, cut him a deal: reprogram SHODAN and be exempt from punishment with a military-grade neural interface implant as reward. After modifying SHODAN's programming, the neural implant is installed into the hacker's brain and is put into a 6 month long healing coma. SHODAN begins to act up and does things like jettisoning a pod full of TriOptimum executives into deep space while cutting off their life support and destroying a shuttle full of soldiers with its automated defense system. Even worse, Diego and SHODAN release a mutagen into the Beta grove pod and massacre most of the Citadel's crew, with the rest being transformed into cyborgs. Our hacker wakes up 6 months later to find the space station deserted... save for the mutants, cyborgs, and death dealing security bots. He valiantly sets out to undo his work but firsts jettisons the Beta grove contaminated by the experimental mutagen. Now, the hacker must defeat Edward Diego and destroy SHODAN before it can reach Earth! Have fun! --- Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP Want more from Polaris?

All was peaceful until Waka, a member of the Moon Tribe, arrived in the Plain in a mysterious spaceship, the Ark of Yamato, which brought more than just Waka. Then, Orochi, an 8-headed demon, suddenly attacked the Plain and killed many Celestials in the process. Amaterasu and Waka were unable to fend off Orochi as it was protected by a magical barrier. Waka was forced to flee but upon using his clairvoyant powers, Waka discovered that Orochi would be slain by a mortal. Amaterasu dragged Orochi down to the mortal realm and awaited the birth of The Chosen One. The two ended up in Kamiki Village, where Orochi threatened to destroy the village unless a young maiden was offered as sacrifice every year. For 99 years, Amaterasu protected the villagers until finally, The Chosen One, Nagi the Swordsman, was born. When the night of sacrifice arrived, Nagi's love, Nami, was selected, and in his rage, he attacked Orochi. Orochi bested Nagi, but Amaterasu intervened, engaging the demon in battle. Severely wounded, Amaterasu summoned the moon, transforming Nagi's sword into the powerful Tsukuyomi. Nagi defeated Orochi and carried the dying Amaterasu back to Kamiki village where she was laid to rest. Her Celestial Brush powers scattered across Japan in the form of 13 gods while the Tsukuyomi was used to seal away Orochi. But a 100 years later, the Tsukuyomi is mysteriously removed and the village would call upon Amaterasu once more to defeat Orochi!

Have Fun! Follow us on Twitter @PolarisTweets! More Lore here http://bit.ly/NV86oo --- Transcript: In the 1950s, five men of the French Foreign Legion became major crime lords, terrorists, or both, except for one - Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer. Ort-Meyer instead decides to pursue science and opens a genetic laboratory, doubling as an asylum, in Romania. There, he created clones and harvested organs in return for funding from his former comrades, who are all now filthy rich from their illicit dealings. Now with the money and resources to create the perfect soldier, Ort-Meyer finally achieved that in creating 47. Born in 1964 in the asylum, 47 was Ort-Meyer's first genetic success. In his later years, 47 demonstrates his prowess by killing another clone in a bathroom stall and escaping the asylum. He is quickly recovered by one of the doctors and is commended for the kill, then rewarded with a pancake breakfast before being returned to the asylum. There, he trained in his youth with other clones in the art of assassination. By the age of 30, 47 had passed every test imaginable and was deemed the most skilled and deadly clone. By this time, Ort-Meyer's comrades grew tired of funding the asylum without results, so Ort-Meyer hatched a plan that would give 47 his first real test. He allowed 47 to escape the asylum, become employed by the International Contract Agency, and from the shadows, would contract 47 to kill his distrusting comrades. Have fun!

Dolphin, who decides maybe he needs a break from his work at the Hocotate Freight company. After a delicious carrot soup dinner prepared by his wife, Captain Olimar takes off into the stars with his trusty ship. But while on his interstellar vacation, the S.S. Dolphin smashes into a meteor and crash-lands on an uncharted planet. With his ship shattered into 30 different pieces scattered across this strange world, he resolves to rebuild the S.S. Dolphin and return home, but not before realizing that the planet's atmosphere contains oxygen - an element poisonous to his species! Fortunately, Captain Olimar comes across a plant-animal life-form even tinier than him that resembled carrots. Captain Olimar named them Pikmin, after his favorite brand of carrots, Pikpik. These Pikmin came in a variety of colors, each possessing their own unique qualities. Olimar takes it upon himself to also name Pikmin nests after another vegetable, this time onions. The Onions produce new Pikmin seeds and protect other Pikmin by storing them inside and lifting off during the night away from hungry predators. And so, with his new multi-colored carrot friends and their strange onion spaceship, they race against the clock to recover 30 ship pieces in 30 days, after which Captain Olimar's life support system will fail, exposing him to the poisonous oxygen!

Have Fun! Follow us on Twitter @PolarisTweets More Lore here http://bit.ly/NV86oo --- Transcript: In the beginning, a deity known as Gurdu came into existence and gave the universe function and order. There also existed a realm of chaos that harbored a consciousness of hatred, which evolved into an evil deity Vigoor. Vigoor devoured Gurdu's universe, including Earth, and transformed it into hellish chaos. Gurdu, losing his strength, split into four, each becoming its own deity, with the most powerful being the Serpent, the deity of creation. The Serpent planted the seeds of life which matured into 13 divine Dragons that banished Vigoor from the world, but he would manifest once more by corrupting the youngest dragon. The Dark Dragon betrayed his brethren but the remaining dragons, defeated, gifted the strongest human warrior a dragon fang imbued with divine power. Known as the Dragon Sword, it infused its wielder with Dragon blood, creating the Dragon Lineage. With the sword, he slew the Dark Dragon and created a lineage of powerful warriors. The Dragon Lineage battled the Evil Deities and their fiends for thousands of years but their numbers grew thin. They resorted to guerilla tactics and finally sealed away the Archfiend in the forests of Mt. Fuji. These Dragon Ninja became the Hayabusa Ninja Clan and aligned itself with Oda Nobunaga who built the clan the Castle of the Dragon so they could continue to battle demons back into the underworld. Now led by Jo Hayabusa along with his son Ryu, the Hayabusa Ninja Clan safeguards the world from the shadows, still wielding the ancient Dragon Sword.

Steve Balmer convinced Gabe to join Microsoft, which at the time was on its way to becoming a powerhouse software company. After dropping out of Harvard, Gabe helped produce the first three iterations of Windows which took the world by storm - or so he thought. Microsoft was the number 2 most installed software on PC's, second to.. DOOM? id Software's DOOM was dominating the software world with thousands opting to remain on the DOS platform in order to melt away demons with a BFG. Why, when Microsoft with millions of dollars and a fortress teeming with marketing gurus, were they second to a 12-person game studio? Gabe knew that the software landscape was changing and he decided he wasn't going to be left for dead. He contacted id Software and offered to port DOOM to Windows 95 for free and release the source code to them. Gabe led a team to successfully port DOOM, showing the world that Windows was a viable gaming platform. He knew then that this was his calling, that this was a portal to the future of entertainment. After 13 years of producing Windows, he left a 'Microsoft Millionaire' and with a head of steam, went on to co-found his own video game studio, Valve. The rest is history. A scholar, a gentleman, and a king amongst men, Gabe is a man that even half of his life's accomplishments is something other game developers only hope to achieve.. he is man truly worthy of his legendary status.

Have Fun! Follow us on Twitter @PolarisTweets! More Lore here http://bit.ly/NV86oo --- Transcript: In a faraway galaxy known as Polaris, there waged a Great War between the Cragmites and the Lombaxes. The Crag Empire had taken control of most of the galaxy with little to no resistance until the Lombaxes decided enough was enough. The militaristic Cragmites had finally met their match against the technological ingenuity of the Lombaxes. However, neither side would never gain the upper hand until the Lombaxes put together the eight greatest minds to create a weapon dubbed the 'Lombax Secret', which they used to rid the Cragmites from the Polaris Galaxy for good.. Until some Lombax miners uncover a frozen Cragmite egg and felt raising the Cragmite as one of their own was the only acceptable thing to do. The young Cragmite, named Percival Tachyon, discovered the truth of his race's legacy - and like any adopted child would do - ran off, amassed a bloodthirsty army, and returned to destroy his foster race. But a young Lombax would escape to the Solana galaxy without the heritage of his people. His name was Ratchet. Some time later, Ratchet, dreaming of adventuring throughout the galaxy, notices a ship crash-land nearby. There, he discovers a robot-on-the-run, Clank, who shows him a video of Chairman Drek's plans to destroy a planet and create another just for his species. Ratchet, needing Clank to jumpstart his ship, and Clank, needing a ride to Novalis, struck a deal realizing they must stop Chairman Drek TOGETHER! Have fun!

Besides stretching the US dollar and consuming copious amounts of booze, Jason, his girlfriend, and the rest of his friends are seeking an adventure. That's when they hear from the local DJ about a tropical paradise known as the Rook Islands - a place where you can do anything and everything. On the word of Doug the DJ, whom they've never met and certainly shouldn't trust, they travel to the Rook Islands.. via skydiving.. What Jason and his buddies don't know is that the Rook Islands is anything but utopia. From Chinese Warlords slaughtering each other over treasure to the Japanese Imperial Army turning on itself after World War 2, the Rook Islands have a tendency of inducing insanity and bloodshed. So instead of a partying on a white sandy beach, they're kidnapped by a pirate, Vaas Montenegro, who enjoys repeatedly explaining the definition of insanity to his helpless victims before executing them. However, Vaas has different plans for Jason and his friends, electing instead to hold them for a hefty ransom due to their presumably wealthy roots. But Jason miraculously escapes and it's now up to him to save his friends - and himself - from hell in paradise. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

More Lore here: http://bit.ly/NV86oo --- Transcript: In the beginning, the world was a barren landscape; cold, harsh, and unforgiving. It was ruled by dragons whose magical scales granted them immortality and thus, eternal dominion over the world. This era was known as the Age of the Ancients until Fire was born. Fire brought with it heat and cold, life and death, Light and Dark, and finally the four Souls of Lords. The first three were claimed by Nito, the First of the Dead, The Witch of Izalith and her daughters of Chaos, and Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight. Together with the power of the Lord Souls, these gods challenged the ancient dragons for dominion over the land. Nito, with death and disease, The Witch of Izalith, with immense firestorms, and Gwyn, with bolts of light that penetrated the scales of immortality, they vanquished the dragons and ushered in the golden Age of Fire. The fourth soul was claimed by the furtive pygmy and passed down through his lineage for ages to come. But the power of the Lord Souls began to wane and the end of the Age of Fire was imminent. It is said that Lord Gwyn's unwillingness to end of the Age of Fire gave way to undeath, and with it, the Hollow - those who have become undead and insane. However, a prophecy tells of a Chosen Undead that will ring the Bells of Awakening and usher in the Dark Age. Have fun! AND PREPARE TO DIE! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Have Fun! Follow us on Twitter @PolarisTweets! -- Transcript: More than a thousand years ago, a major cataclysmic event known as the Conjunction of the Spheres trapped unnatural creatures in this dimension. According to elven lore, it is during this time Humans first appeared, their own world having been destroyed. Humans settled on the continent hundreds of years later in what is known as the First Landing. However, monsters still roamed the lands and the humans were ill-equipped to deal with these creatures. The humans employed Witchers, an elite caste of warrior-monks, who defended human settlements in present-day Temeria. These Witchers possessed superhuman speed and strength thanks to the Trail of Grasses, a series of mutagenic mushrooms, herbs, and plants that were introduced into the bodies of would-be Witchers. Witchers became master swordsmen and with the help of sorcerers, they utilized spells called Signs, as well as combat-augmenting potions. But soon, human villages became kingdoms with armies, weapons, and magic. The Witchers were no longer needed and became outcasts due to their mutant abilities and albino appearance. Disgust grew into hatred, and the humans assaulted the Witcher fortress of Kaer Mohan, leaving no survivors to train their successors. Surviving Witchers eventually faded into the shadows, roaming the land as monster hunters for hire. Now, a new, nefarious society lurks, seeking to obtain the secrets of the Trial of Grasses for their own heinous purposes. It's up to Geralt of Rivia and the remaining Witchers to put a stop to this evil plot and survive in a world that seeks to destroy them. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Soon after, John's father passed and he was sent to an orphanage at the tender age of 8. At 17, John and his wife, Abigail, whom he met at the orphanage, ran away with no skills or education to speak of. The two joined Dutch van der Linde's gang where he nurtured them, teaching them how to read, gather, shoot, murder, and steal - the essentials of a perfectly normal, Western lifestyle. Together with Dutch van der Linde, Bill Williamson, and Javier Escuella, they robbed, raided, and murdered all across the Western Frontier, striking terror into the hearts of Western settlers all the while piquing the interest of the authorities. Dutch's gang were misguided, self-made heroes in villain's dress, as they stole from the rich that included as many as 40 banks, and gave to the poor. But in 1906, when a robbery goes wrong, John is shot and left to die by Bill Williamson and the gang. But he survived the ordeal and John retired from the outlaw lifestyle and settled down with his wife. The Bureau of Investigation would have none of that and sought to exterminate tyranny of outlaws by becoming tyrants themselves. To that end, newly appointed bureau director, Edgar Ross, kidnaps John's wife and son and extorts his services in hunting down his former comrades; Dutch van der Linde, Bill Williamson, and Javier Escuella.

As a child, he often explored his town and its surrounding areas until happening upon a cavern that he dared not enter. Little did he know, the cave hid a treasure that would change the video game industry forever. His father, a friend of then-president of Nintendo in 1977, secured Miyamoto an interview and was awarded the job of concept artist. Nintendo then expanded to the U.S. and debuted Radar Scope which Miyamoto had helped develop, but it was a commercial failure that left Nintendo of America in financial ruin. To stay afloat, they agreed to repurpose the Radar Scope cabinets for a new game - but there was one problem; there wasn't anybody worthwhile with the time to create it. Yet, Miyamoto was chosen to lead Nintendo of America into the promised land. Miyamoto, with no prior game design experience, enlisted the help of veteran Gunpei Yokoi. Together, they devised the first true platformer about a man, his girlfriend, and a monkey: Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong was the first title to have a story, multiple stages, a character that could jump but it still wasn't enough; the American branch hated it. Still, Miyamoto persevered and the Radar Scope units were gutted and replaced with Donkey Kong which became a smash hit - the first of many moving forward. Miyamoto went on to create Mario Bros., another colossal success which catapulted him to the head of Nintendo's video game division. Nintendo then boldly entered the console market with the Family Computer aka the Nintendo Entertainment System. Miyamoto would not stop there. He had one more game-changer in his arsenal - an idea that sprang from the cave in Kyoto. With courage and a lantern, the young Miyamoto returned to the cave to claim its secrets, but none more valuable than the thrilling journey of danger and mystery that would become The Legend of Zelda.

It was there he played Spacewar!, one of the earliest known computer games that could only be played on a mainframe computer, something only a university could afford. It was the combination of this and his work at a nearby amusement park that sparked his interest in coin-operated arcade games. With his colleague Ted Dabney, he created a Spacewar! clone called Computer Space. Unfortunately, it was a commercial failure but it led Bushnell and Dabney to form Atari. Inc in 1972. Atari hired its first employee in engineer Allan Alcorn, a cornerstone of the company moving forward. Dabney, citing worries over the the volatile video game market, was later bought out by Bushnell. He then directed Alcorn to create a coin-op version of the Magnavox tennis game as a test project. The test project would eventually evolve into Pong, which went on to become a huge boon for Atari. Bushnell refused to rest on the laurels of Pong and entered the consumer electronics market with the idea to bring Pong to the American household. The unit was released in 1975 in an exclusive marketing and distribution agreement with Sears and was met rousing success. Again, Bushnell set out to innovate with the Atari Video Computer System, later renamed the Atari 2600, but he needed the capital fund the project and launch the new home console. He sold Atari to Warner Communications for $28 million. However, in a dispute over the direction of Atari, Bushnell was forced out and Atari was split up and sold off. Despite the bitter departure from Atari, Bushnell is considered one of the founding fathers of the video game industry, having invented and innovated the very first video games, providing the foundation for the games we know today. Oh, and he created Chuck E. Cheese's, too! Have fun! --- Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP Want more from Polaris?

Under his father's tutelage, Sly learned the ways of his ancestors as preparation to carry on his family's legacy. Despite being a family of unassuming raccoons, the Cooper Gang had been master thieves for thousands of years. They stole from undeserving criminals as each Cooper was bound to the tenet that there is no honor, no challenge, and no fun in stealing from ordinary people. Although the Cooper Clan amassed an immense fortune, their most prized possession was the Thievius Raccoonus, an ancient book in which every Cooper Clan member recorded their adventures, but more importantly, their invaluable thieving techniques. At the age of 8 when Sly was to inherit the prized book, a gang of criminals known as the Fiendish Five attacked the Cooper residence. Sly's father did all he could to protect the Thievius Raccoonus, but it ultimately costed his life. Sly, hiding in the closet nearby, could only watch as his parents were murdered. The pages from the Thievius Raccoonus were torn out and split amongst the criminals and Sly was sent to an orphanage. There, Sly gained two allies in a turtle and hippo. Sly, with Bentley and Murray, devised their first heist: to steal cookies from the evil orphanage director, Ms. Puffin. Utilizing Sly's leadership and athleticism, Bentley's intellect and planning, and Murray's expert driving and whatever else he does, Ms. Puffin was no match and the cookies were had. From this point on, they were known as the Cooper Gang. Together, they set out to avenge the death of Sly's parents and recover the Thievius Raccoonus from the clutches of evil... all the while being chased by Interpol's Carmelita the Fox who may or may not be in love with Sly Cooper.

Said to be part devil, part angel, and entirely ambiguous, his mark was inscribed upon whale bones that served as charms for the local populace. Hundreds of years later, the Empire of Isles rose to power and built the city of Dunwall on the remains of the old civilization. Dunwall was a simple fishing city until the arrival of of Esmond Roseburrow, a natural philosopher. At first, Roseburrow's radical ideas were rejected, forcing him into poverty which left him no choice but to take shelter in Dunwall's whaling grounds. There, he chanced upon commoners using whale oil to fuel fire which led him to discover it as a rich energy source. His discovery catapulted The Isles into an industrial revolution that lead to many technological advancements, but there was still more that could be done. Anton Sokolov came to Roseburrow with the idea to further develop whale oil energy for other applications, which led to a rapid evolution in military technology. The government used its newfound weapons to control Dunwall's population, leading to an unforgiving authoritarian rule and an overwhelming guilt resulting in Roseburrow's suicide. Then, after the mysterious reappearance of The Outsider, a deadly plague struck Dunwall, killing half of its citizens. Coupled with the assassination of Empress Jessamine Kaldwin, her bodyguard Corvo Attano must clear his name, save the Empress' daughter, and uncover the true nature of The Outsider. Have fun!

Written by Phil http://www.youtube.com/polaris Voiced by Dodger http://www.youtube.com/PressHeartToContinue Animated by ZenithQuinn http://www.youtube.com/zenithquinn --- Transcript: History tells of a secret society that dedicated itself to the advancement of humanity through technology. This organization, known as the First Sons, dates back as far as Medieval Europe where they were cast out as witches and demons, forcing them to flee to America in the 17th century. There, they continued their research on telekinesis and precognition while watching their membership swell. In 1892, Richard Tate led the First Sons to power by using technology to unlock the powers of mentalists among us. Richard Tate installed his son, Alden, as the leader of the First Sons before he died, but he was quickly ousted by a mysterious figure known only as Kessler. Kessler, a futurist with access to technology not of the modern era, accelerated research on power and energy. The First Sons, with funding from DARPA, eventually built the Ray Sphere, a device capable of unlocking a hidden superhuman gene. Those who carried these gene were known as Conduits and when they were exposed to the Ray Sphere, they gained supernatural powers. With the Ray Sphere complete, Kessler's needed one more component to complete his master plan: Cole McGrath. Cole, a seemingly ordinary bike messenger, was given a package to deliver but inside was the Ray Sphere wired to detonate. Cole survived the blast but awoke with the power of electrokinesis. Now it's up to Cole to help or hurt the citizens of Empire City and to find the man behind the Ray Sphere explosion. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Melee. The seventh Fire Emblem game became the first Fire Emblem released outside of Japan. 2) The developer, Intelligent Systems, started out as a one-man team whose sole purpose was to port Famicom Disk software into ROM-cartridges. As the team grew, they programmed their first actual game software with Famicom Wars and Fire Emblem which prompted Nintendo to extend Intelligent Systems into an actual game development team. 3) Roy made his video game debut in the Smash Brothers series and not in his own franchise.

Written by Phil http://www.youtube.com/polaris Voiced by WowCrendor http://www.youtube.com/WowCrendor Animated by Jacob Diesel http://www.youtube.com/user/JDieseling --- TRANSCRIPT: In the year 2055, a shortage of oil forces several nations to the brink of war, resulting in World War 3. Earth now ravaged by wide-scale use of nuclear weapons, world powers negotiate for peace to save what's left of the world. With time and and resources running out, a coalition between the world's most powerful companies and governments is formed, called the United Colonial Nations, with one goal in mind: to colonize outer-space. The first colony ships leave Earth in 2095, headed for Alpha Centauri, where they find two candidates for colonization: a lush, Earth-like world and a habitable but harsh planet. But before humans could be sent to these planets, six colony ships disappear during a solar flare and are presumably lost, hitting the UCN where it hurts the most: their pockets. Now forced to open up the Alpha Centauri system to bidders to refill their coffers, the UCN sells the colonization rights of both planets to the Helghan Corporation. The Helghan Corporation quickly travel to Alpha Centauri, first arriving on the inhospitable planet, Helghan, where they leave a select few to exploit the planet's abundant energy resources while the rest push on to the second planet, Vekta. The Helghan Administration quickly dominate trade and travel in space which forces the UCN to place an embargo on the system to which the Helghans refuse.

After years of tranquility, a devastating earthquake rocked the islands, throwing Moga Village into disarray. Believing a monster to be responsible, the Hunter's Guild sends a new recruit to investigate. Unfortunately, the Village Elder reveals that the most likely culprit is none other than the Lagiacrus, an enormous leviathan known as the "King of the Seas." Hopelessly outmatched, the rookie hunter heads to the Moga Woods and surrounding regions to train their skills. Over the next few weeks. The hunter gathers crucial resources, prepares hearty meals, and slaughters all manner of beasts in order to wear their skin and reap the dubious benefits. Finally, as Moga Village threatens to come apart at the seams from the quakes, the former rookie, now a seasoned monster hunter, returns from training. Armed with a multitude of weapons, the latest in monster fashion, and the support of Moga Village and other hunters from afar, the hunter prepares to put an end to the Lagiacrus—her greatest challenge yet. ...At least until High Rank.

Written by Phil http://www.youtube.com/polaris Voiced by IndieStatik http://www.youtube.com/user/indiestatik Animated by Scott Falco http://www.youtube.com/scottfalco --- Transcript: More than 10,000 years ago, a race known as the D'ni arrive on Earth, descendants of an ancient race that wrote magical books that could serve as portals to the worlds they described. The D'ni built great cities in underground caverns which were discovered by a geologist from the surface. This geologist, Anna, learns the D'ni language and lives among them, marrying Aitrus and bearing a son named Gehn. But soon after, the thriving civilization is wiped out by a plague, and Aitrus sacrifices himself to save his family who escape to the surface. Gehn has a son of his own, Atrus who is raised by Anna while Gehn travels to the ruins of the D'ni civilization to learn the art of writing portal books known as Ages. After obtaining the knowledge of the Art, Gehn becomes power-hungry, a cruel god in his own right to the inhabitants of the very Ages he created. Atrus, realizing his father has become reckless and violent, attempts to escape but is imprisoned in Gehn's own Age of Riven. There, Atrus falls in love with a villager, Catherine, and together, they hatch a plan to rid themselves of Gehn once and for all. Atrus and Catherine manage to destroy the linking books on Riven, leaving Gehn stranded on Riven, and escape through a book written by Anna, the Age of Myst. Atrus inexplicably drops the Myst linking book into a disturbance known as the Star Fissure, at which point the book ends up on Earth in the hands of a stranger. Now with the Age of Myst in hand, it's up to you to point and click your way through the wonders of Myst Island and all the secrets it holds.

Shortly after the Tunguska event in 1908, Hargreave and his fellow colleagues made private expedition to the blast site. There, they uncovered the Ceph and their expedition is inexplicably wiped out except for Hargreave and a select few. But the expedition was not a complete loss as Hargreave came into possession of Ceph technology. Hargreave, with his peer Karl Rasch, established the Hargreave-Rasch Biomedical Research Centre, and under it, the CryNet branch, all in an effort to repel the eventual Ceph invasion. Using stolen Ceph technology, Hargreave artificially extended his life which allowed him to reverse-engineer the alien tech, culminating in the Nanosuit, an extremely versatile and and powerful tactical combat armor. But the dormant Ceph would be disturbed by the International Archaeological Survey, a team of scientists dedicated to uncovering alien species on Earth. Their latest discovery on the Lingshan Islands goes horribly wrong when Dr. Rosenthal uncovers an inactive Ceph scout. North Korea, catching wind of this world-changing discovery, sends their military to take control of the island. That's when the US sends in the nanosuited Delta Force to intervene and unearth the true nature of the Ceph and the very nanosuits they wear.

What was left of the human population was forced underground to avoid the harsh, nuclear winters, but the worst had yet to come. Stewing in radiation for three decades, Moscow began to breed radiated atrocities; pterodactyl-like demons, snout-faced mutants, and humanoid monstrosities now stalked the surface. Luckily for Moscow, it was also the home to an extensive metro system that doubled as the largest underground shelter on the planet. Survivors flocked to these underground stations, a new safe-haven for the dwindling human population, but survival was not easy. Dubbed the Last Refuge, the survivors not only had to piece back together their lives, but society, law, and government as well. Infighting became frequent as the Metro stations became their own independent states, giving rise to factions that almost always teetered on the brink of war. But from the nuclear ashes rose a greater threat - a race of sentient creatures descended from surface-dwelling humans known as The Dark Ones. Now it's up to Artyom, a newly minted Ranger of the Order, to protect the Metro and solve the mystery of the Dark Ones. Have Fun Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

A brutal and relentless totalitarian regime set up a puppet government that ran a democracy that was all a sham. Then came the Citizenship Program - an initiative that stamped out choice and free will under the guise of ensuring an easier and safer living. Coupled with the total control of communication and media, the government had the city and its citizens firmly within its domineering grips. But people wanted to smoke, to be obese, to live or ruin their lives as they saw fit - the citizens wanted their freedom back. So they protested and formed the Libertas movement that openly challenged the government. Demonstrations were peaceful at first, but the police opened fire on protesters in what would be known as the November Riots. The government would then form the City Police Force to ensure the November Riots would never happen again - and for the next 18 years, it didn't. Robert Pope, the organizer of the riots did not give up, however. He instead chose to run for mayor in order to create change, this time through the legal system. But when Pope is seemingly murdered by Kate Connor, it's up to her sister Faith to clear her name. As a runner for an underground illegal courier group, Faith must follow all things inexplicably painted red to uncover the truth behind Pope's death.

Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/polaristweets --- BUY THE LORE SHIRT! http://www.rodeoarcade.com/collections/frontpage/products/lore-have-fun-tee --- Transcript: During the rise of American Exceptionalism, Zachary Hale Comstock, a self-proclaimed prophet, introduced his vision of the floating city of Columbia. With funding from the US Government, the city took to the skies with Comstock as its leader. Together with his wife, Comstock produced an heir in their daughter, Elizabeth. Elizabeth, exhibiting bizarre reality-altering abilities, is imprisoned on Monument Island for scientific study which leads to rapid technological advancements. Having become the pride and hope of America, Columbia is sent on a world tour to demonstrate American ideals. But when Columbia fires on Chinese citizens during the Boxer Rebellion, the U.S. Government formally disavows the now heavily-armed floating fortress, and Comstock responds by seceding Columbia from the US. Columbia continues to enjoy immense growth by studying tears into other realities, allowing for its scientists to create technology that is otherwise not possible in that time period. Columbia begins to produces weapons, automated robots, and even strange powers called Vigors, all under the careful watch of their religious leader, Comstock. But when the true nature of Comstock's plans for Elizabeth are revealed, Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, both a gambler and alcoholic, is contacted by a mysterious benefactor with one simple mission: Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt.

Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/polaristweets --- Transcript: Fast Fact: The shifty man behind the ticket counter at Battleship Bay will stab Booker in the right hand if the player does nothing when prompted. For the rest of the game, Booker will have his hand wrapped, which is consistent with Booker DeWitt's promotional art. Fast Fact: The inspiration for the Motorized Patriot came from the cracked porcelain face on a doll belonging to Kevin Levine's mother. The 1900's era doll gave Levine nightmares, one in which the doll's head turned on its own and the other where the doll killed his mom... Fast Fact: The new engine created specifically for BioShock Infinite included a dynamic physics and weather system that allowed buildings to float and be affected by weather without scripted events, but the system never made it into the final game.

He had no skin, and to the outside world, he looked like a blob of bloody animal meat, but he was much more than that. Meat Boy met Bandage Girl, a girl made of clean, fresh bandages. No one really knows what lies underneath, but it didn't matter to Meat Boy - it was love at first sight. One day they decided to go for a hike in the forest, but something evil lurked there: Dr. Fetus! The evil doctor, who probably isn't even a legal doctor, was the biggest jerk of them all with nothing to do but troll the internet. He was a sad and lonely man... with a sinister plan. While on their forest stroll, Dr. Fetus captured Bandage Girl, flipped Meat Boy the bird, and made off with his lover! Meat Boy gave chase and leapt towards Dr. Fetus... but came up short and fell into a sea of spinning saws which have absolutely zero reason to exist in a pit in a forest. But through wizardry but mostly excellent game design, Meat Boy respawned instantly... only to die over... and over... and over again. With a seemingly infinite number of lives, it's up to Meat Boy to rescue Bandage Girl and defeat Dr. Fetus! Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/polaristweets BUY THE LORE SHIRT! http://www.rodeoarcade.com/collections/lore/products/lore-have-fun-tee --- Transcript: Meat Boy began as a simple Flash prototype game on Newgrounds. Made in three weeks by Edmund McMillen and Jon McEntee, it became one of their most played Flash games and drew the attention of Microsoft and Nintendo. During that time, McMillen met Tommy Refenes, a fellow Newgrounds developer, and together they formed Team Meat and set out to make the best game ever. Despite living on opposite sides of America, the duo went to work on an expanded version of Meat Boy. McMillen worked on level design and artwork while Refenes built an original engine and coded the game. Team Meat worked feverishly on Super Meat Boy to get it ready for Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade GameFeast event. Out of time and money, Team Meat worked 12 hours a day on little sleep and food, but Super Meat Boy was finally ready for the limelight. Super Meat Boy launched on XBLA and quickly became the biggest hit of the GameFeast event, but Microsoft didn't keep their end of the bargain; Super Meat Boy never got it's exclusive launch week or the number one spotlight. The WiiWare version was cancelled for exceeding the size limit and the PC release still loomed on the horizon, but Team Meat soldiered on. Super Meat Boy was released on PC the very next month to critical acclaim. It went on to sell a million copies in little over a year - Super Meat Boy was a rousing success. Now with all the monies and fame, Team Meat is hard at work making the next best game ever!

The Cordyceps, an airborne neural-parasite, decimates nearly 60% of the human population, but not before forcing a gruesome transformation unto its hosts. The virus first takes over the host's nervous system, then claims its sight while fungus rapidly grows on the body. During this stage, The Infected are compelled to attack any humans they come into contact with until the Cordyceps kills its host. Now with over half the human population dead or infected, the United States government is forced to impose martial law and begin to set up quarantine zones all over the country. Showing no mercy, the military execute infected citizens on sight, prompting the rise of an anti-government militia called the Fireflies. Twenty years later, the Fireflies find themselves cornered by the military and their attempts at creating a vaccine futile. With all hope lost, society is reduced to survival of the fittest and the fittest, like Joel and Tess, are smugglers. But when their contraband is held ransom by the Fireflies, Joel and Tess are forced to escort a mysterious girl, Ellie, to the Firefly headquart -- ELLIE, GOD DANG IT! Have fun!

It was neither a mercenary force or foreign legion - it was a lucrative business that would boom 40 years later. The end of the Cold War era meant large-scale decommissioning of military forces which produced a pool of 7 million unemployed soldiers and a surplus of weapons along with it. With multinational corporations expanding to unstable areas of the world, these soldiers were tapped for protection services, paving the way for a War Economy, just as The Patriots had wanted. As these soldiers were organized into private military corporations (PMCs), "surrogate wars" erupted all over the world and PMCs began to rake in fortunes. Governments began to rely on PMC's to fight their wars, leading to weakened national militaries and a booming war economy. By 2014, five of the largest PMCs fell under a single mother-company named Outer Heaven led by CEO Liquid Ocelot. The proliferation of the Sons of the Patriots System, a network of performance-enhancing nanomachines injected into soldiers, presented a singular weakness: one man could theoretically control every single soldier connected to the system. And with a fighting force that rivaled even that of the U.S. military, Liquid Ocelot launched an insurrection against The Patriots in a bid to do just that. Now with orders from Roy Campbell and the U.N., Solid Snake, suffering from accelerated aging, is sent to the Middle East to assassinate Liquid Ocelot and prevent the coming of Outer Haven.

Épisode 103 - LORE - Hideo Kojima Lore in a Minute!

Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/polaristweets BUY THE LORE SHIRT! http://www.rodeoarcade.com/collections/lore/products/lore-have-fun-tee --- TRANSCRIPT: Before he was a superstar game designer, Hideo Kojima was a university student studying economics, but it was during his time in college when he discovered the Famicom - it was love at first sight. He announced to his professor and colleagues that he intended to pursue a career in video games and although they pleaded with him to reconsider, he had already made up his mind. Kojima joined Konami in 1986. Kojima was brought on as a designer but due to his lack of familiarity with programming, his first game was cancelled outright and he was tormented by his colleagues for his failures. He was given one last chance and was handed the reigns to Metal Gear. Konami asked him to create a war game (war has changed reference?) but Kojima instead wanted to design a game predicated on stealth rather than action. It was a tough sell, but after 3 months of development, this new breed of stealth-action gameplay wowed playtesters, and Konami finally realized Metal Gear's potential. Metal Gear was released in 1987 for the MSX system to critical acclaim. The very next year, Metal Gear made its way to the shores of North America on the NES where it sold over a million copies. Konami quickly ordered a sequel, Snake's Revenge, but Kojima never worked on it and was considered a dud. Metal Gear did receive a proper sequel but it was during the PlayStation era that Kojima, with artist Yoji Shinkawa, catapulted the franchise to staggering success with the release of Metal Gear Solid.

Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/polaristweets --- BUY THE LORE SHIRT! http://www.rodeoarcade.com/collections/lore/products/lore-have-fun-tee --- TRANSCRIPT: The Great War of 1917 marked the beginning of a half-century-long conflict that spawned desperate and devastating tactics that left the world in ruins. With the ecosystem in a state of decay, dust storms and a cataclysmic climate upheaval ravaged the planet and survival took precedence over conquest. Disease and famine decimated the population, earning the nickname 'The Red Death.' Civilization is all but a memory and the survivors reverted to a pre-industrial tribal society. Then came the Age of Dust as super-storms swept through the land, but the human population eventually recovered and they rediscover, relearn, and rebuild industrial society. During this time, a tinker, Gabriel, constructed the first airship since the Great War, almost two centuries past. He became a legendary airship engineer and captain, but his journey would end in Tura where he found the city in ruins with bloodthirsty pirates waiting in ambush. Though Gabriel and the Icarus were never seen again, his legacy gave rise to the Age of Air. Gabriel's work was reverse-engineered into a new breed of airships that reshaped the political and economic landscape. Now, 87 years after the Flight of The Icarus, the skies are dominated by six major factions, each with their own agenda and fleet of powerful airships.

With funding from a big publisher in Asia, Muse went to work on Guns of Icarus Online but it became increasingly apparent that the publisher wouldn't honor their creative vision. Forced to compromise, Muse delivered a prototype in only five months but the publisher wanted more features and more big-eyed anime girls. Enough was enough and Muse called off the arrangement, despite being told by the publisher that they would clone the game. Having nearly gone broke, Muse continued to develop the game out of pocket and with money borrowed from family. Working tirelessly through nights and weekends, Muse finally launched Guns of Icarus Online on October 29th, 2012. Also launching: Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy knocked out the power and flooded the studio's building, forcing a complete lockdown by building security. But the servers had to be maintained, the hotfixes sent out, and the players pleased... Muse would not be denied. They sent in their very best to infiltrate the studio, secure the computer, and deliver the package to another waiting developer. And with that, Guns of Icarus Online received its very first update. Since then, Guns of Icarus Online has soared to the top of Steam charts, had its servers explode, and seen thousands of sky captains shot down in a blaze of glory. As for Muse Games... they're still feverishly whacking away at servers with wrenches. Have fun!

Attempting to develop augmentation technology on newborns naturally led to the deaths of all but one infant, leading a remorseful facility worker to smuggle the baby to safety. Nevertheless, research continued and mechanical augmentation was achieved, but because the human body would violently reject these foreign enhancements, it caused immense pain in augmented patients. Enter VersaLife, the only company with the patent to manufacture Neuropozyne, a drug that would suppress the rejection response and make VersaLife rich and powerful. In 2017, Sarif Industries, backed by a U.S. military contract, begins manufacturing advanced augmentations that within 10 years, produces things like "Rhino Dermal Armor" and "Glassfield Cloaking," because let's face it, being bulletproof and invisible would win all the wars. The increasing level of competition forces Sarif Industries to employ a high-level security team led by ex-SWAT superstar, Adam Jensen. But on the eve of a high-profile announcement of a Neuropozyne alternative, Sarif Industries is attacked by an augmented Black Ops team known as The Tyrants, who kill their researchers, destroy their data, and shoot Jensen in the head. Jensen is miraculously brought back from the dead harder, better, faster, and stronger than ever*, and it's up to him to find those responsible for the attack in the midst of an augmentation-induced human revolution.

In the games, the Illuminati, which is widely believed to be the predecessor of Freemasonry, is covertly funded by banks run by the Knights Templar. - During development, Gabe Newell visited the studio to playtest a prototype of the game and gave the team a major wake up call; the missions were lousy and the augmentation and skill system was dull.

Known for his work on Ultima and System Shock, Spector set out to make a cyberpunk-themed genre-busting game that combined role-playing, adventure, and first-person shooting. Spector had been conceptualizing Deus Ex for years under the name Troubleshooter and later, Junction Point. Troubleshooter was a modern day, Hollywood-inspired action game but because Spector didn't have the team, resources, technology and couldn't sell the concept to his employers at Origin and Looking Glass Studios, the game never happened. Spector went on to found Ion Storm's Austin branch in 1997 where he was given the opportunity to make the game of his dreams which was now known as Shooter. Shooter moved the game 50 years into a future filled with conspiracy and terrorism, but it took 6 months of pre-production before it became the Deus Ex we know and love today. The development team swelled to 20 members but not without growing pains; Spector had to contend with two design teams constantly butting heads and an art team working for an art director situated in the Dallas office 200 miles away. Despite these challenges, Deus Ex shipped in June of 2000 to critical acclaim and over 40 "Game of the Year" awards. Deus Ex received a sequel 3 years later, Invisible War, also helmed by Spector and the now-defunct Ion Storm, but was not as well-regarded as its predecessor. The series would return to form in Human Revolution, this time developed by Eidos Montreal and without Spector, which would go on to sell more than 2 million copies in a month.

Reyes http://www.youtube.com/oryozema - - - - - TRANSCRIPT: In a strange world where a single peninsula is constantly terrorized by dragons, only few can stand up to their vicious attacks on mankind. When these mysterious dragons appear, they do so without warning, sometimes by the dozen and/or hundreds of years apart to keep things interesting. They're highly intelligent creatures with no clear motive or purpose - they've brought mankind to the edge of extinction only to return from whence they came. In every age they appear, dragons rain chaos and destruction on the poor citizens of Gransys, then suddenly cease their attacks and fly atop a mountain as if they're fulfilling a duty that serves a higher purpose... but probably to just gloat. Before tormenting the continent, the dragons choose a person worthy of having their heart ripped out and dined upon. He or she then becomes an Arisen who does not age, is immune to sickness, and is forever connected to the heart-devouring dragon. There have only been two instances in all of history when the dragons were defeated - once by Godking Leonhart, and most recently, the Arisen Edmun Dragonsbane. Edmun, despite not having a vital organ to pump blood to the rest of his body, defeated the dragons and returned as the Wyrmking. But the peace is short-lived as the dragons return to wreak havoc once more. So once you're done picking the shape of your nose and color of your hair, it's up to you to beat back the dragons and -- OH GOD NO!

Corporation and its subsidiary, Japan Capsule Computers Company. In 1983, they released their first coin-operated machine, Little League, but it wasn't until a year later that Capcom would become the proud parents of their first and proper arcade game, Vulgus. Building upon that, the Capcom we know and love today was officially established in 1989 with the sole purpose of selling software. The next couple years would see classics such as 1942, Commando, and Ghosts 'n Goblins unleashed on the public, but the port of 1942 to the NES would mark their grand entrance into the home console market. Other ports quickly followed but none matched the popularity of the two games that cemented Capcom's legacy: Street Fighter and Megaman, both released in 1987. The two hallmark franchises were birthed by a couple of flukes; Street Fighter's creator ended up at Capcom because he was fired from Konami and Mega Man underperformed at retail but luckily became a sleeper hit overseas thanks to word of mouth.

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Paul is coming at you with some Animal Crossing Lore! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Subscribe for a new Lore every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! --- Written by Phil http://www.youtube.com/polaris Voiced by Paul from VGHangoer http://www.vghangover.com Edited by Erin http://www.youtube.com/happileeerin Art by D.J. Ross http://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://www.twitter.com/metaly http://www.metaly.deviantart.com --- TRANSCRIPT: The big city was cold and harsh - it broke me, so I got on a train to nowhere. I dozed off and had the strangest dream about a cat who kept pestering me with questions about where I was going - then I woke up. As soon as I stepped off the train, a yellow dog mistook me for the town's mayor, then whisked me away to my lavish office... and set me up in a tent outside. There were so many questions; Why am I running this city? Why does the mayor live in a tent? How are these animals even talking? I had to get out. Before I knew it, I had a mortgage and I owed it to a Tom Nook, but he didn't want my cash... he wanted bells. And lots of 'em. Right then I knew I was never leaving this town. I kept telling myself that I was still asleep on that train, that all these animals were just people in costumes. But days turned into months, and months turned into years. The debt kept piling up. I was a prisoner. The day came when I was to pay off the rest of my debt, but the raccoon had already skipped town. Then it hit me; if I couldn't pay Nook, I'd never leave this village. I had to track him down and make him pay the only way I knew how. HAVE. FUN. Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

But the his weapon, the Infinity Blade, proves to be too much and the knight is slain, his blood activating the mysterious powers of the weapon. Twenty years pass, and his son, having been raised to fight the God King, vows to avenge his father's death. But he and the rest of his bloodline prove to be no match, until now. Siris, the current descendant, defeats Raidriar using the Infinity Blade - the only weapon that can truly kill a Deathless. Vowing to end the tyranny of the Deathless for good, Siris and his companion, Isa, set out to locate the Worker of Secrets, the fabled creator of the Infinity Blade. But Siris is ambushed by the reincarnated God King who reclaims the Infinity Blade. Before Siris is executed, he's killed by Isa after realizing his true nature: Siris himself is a Deathless. Siris is resurrected, now realizing he was once known as Ausar the Terrible. Siris fights his way into the Vault of Tears where finds the Worker, but the only way to free him is to retrieve the Infinity Blade from Raidriar. Siris defeats Raidriar and returns with both the God King and the Infinity Blade at which point the Worker reveals his devious design; Siris was used to defeat his rivals and return the Infinity Blade to his possession, which he intends to use to rule over the Deathless. In his final traitorous act, he locks Siris and Raidriar within the vault of tears, but not before revealing it was Ausar that imprisoned him there ages ago.

Revan and Alek became Jedi Knights and fought in the Mandalorian Wars against the Order's wishes. The two became crusaders and regularly intervened in conflicts on behalf of the Republic. Revan finally defeated Mandalore the Ultimate, and with his dying breath, he revealed that had been manipulated by a Sith into waging war. Revan, along with Alek, now known as Malak, followed the trail to the Sith Lord Vitiate, who promptly turned them to the Dark Side. Anointed as Darth Revan and Darth Malak by their new master, he sent them as a vanguard to his invasion with orders to use the fabled Rakatan Star Forge to bolster the Sith forces. They eventually broke free of the Sith Lord's will, but they had already been corrupted. Revan declared himself the Dark Lord of a new Sith Empire, took on Malak as his apprentice, and sparked the Jedi Civil War. But Malak began to resent his master, thinking him weak for not exploiting the true powers of the Star Forge, sparking a duel between the two which resulted in Malak losing his jaw. Later, the Jedi Council would send a Jedi strike team to take down Revan. Malak, sensing an opportunity to destroy both his master and the Jedis, fired on Revan's vessel. Claiming the mantle of the Dark Lord for himself, Darth Malak sets out to conquer the galaxy and it's up to you, a lowly Republic Soldier, to stop him. - - - - - - - - - - Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP Want more from Polaris?

The project was picked up by Apogee, but they pulled their funding seven months later. Fortunately, Interplay decided to invest in Inferno, which later became Descent. Descent was successful and made Parallax a good deal of money, prompting Kulas and Toschlog to move the company but they couldn't agree where. Instead, they split the company in half - some left with Toschlog to form Outrage Entertainment, the rest stayed with Kulas and became Volition. Volition went to work on Descent: FreeSpace - The Great War and its sequel, FreeSpace 2, which became their highest rated game ever. Volition was later acquired by THQ at which point they began to work on Red Faction. Red Faction was well-received, but its sequel did not enjoy the same success, putting the franchise on ice for the next couple years. After growing to over 100 employees, Volition decided to focus their efforts on the open-world genre which had only one other competitor - Grand Theft Auto. Volition settled on making Bling Bling, a gang simulator of sorts, but it was a complex game with a questionable subject matter that nearly tore the company apart. Despite internal struggle, Saints' Row was finally released to critical and commercial success and quickly spawned three sequels. Now, having proven themselves twice over, Volition has become an established and respected developer... partly because they pulled this thing off. Have fun!

Along with their trusted guide and bodyguard, Conrad Roth, the Croft family became seasoned treasure hunters, but it was on one of these expeditions that Lara's parents vanished. With her parents presumed dead, Roth took guardianship over Lara, becoming her mentor and teaching her basic survival skills. Lara went on to earn her own living rather than make use of the vast fortunes her family left behind. She paid for and attended college with her best friend Sam Nishimura, who shared her thirst for adventure. So at the tender age of 21, the two friends set out on their first expedition aboard the Endurance along with Roth, celebrity archaeologist Dr. Whitman, and a host of other under-developed characters. With Whitman desperate to revive his television show, Roth looking for his big payday, and Lara yearning to prove herself, they set sail for the Dragon's Triangle -- thought to be the location of the lost Japanese kingdom of Yamatai. Despite all the warning signs... like the graveyard of ships, the violent storms, and hundreds missing explorers, Lara and her crew push forward into the teeth of the Dragon's Triangle. Unsurprisingly, the Endurance is severed in two and whatever remains of the crew washes up on the shores of an uncharted island. Now it's up to Lara to reunite her crew, unravel the mystery of the Yamatai kingdom, and make it out alive. Have fun! Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP Want more from Polaris?

The Endurance is snapped in two during a violent storm and Lara miraculously makes it to the shores of a nearby island, as does the rest of the crew. Lara wakes up in a sacrificial cave, escapes from her captor, and finds Sam completely enthralled by a campfire story told by a creepy-looking man who promptly kidnaps her. Lara reunites with the rest of the crew and breaks off with Whitman to search for the still-missing Roth. They're captured by the Solarii and Lara is forced to kill to save her life . Then, totally disregarding the trauma killing for the first time, Lara slaughters her way to Roth, where they make contact with a rescue plane that's swiftly struck down by another storm. Now hot on Sam's trail, she's foiled by Mathias, who is in turn foiled by Samurai demons. Lara is knocked out and and wakes up in a monastery, where she makes yet another escape and infiltrates the Solarii fortress just as Mathias is about to put Sam through a fire ritual. A mysterious gust of wind extinguishes the fires and Lara narrowly escapes again as she's separated from Sam. Roth comes to her rescue in a helicopter but it crash-lands nearby, allowing Mathias and his men to surround them. Roth takes a tomahawk in the back to save Lara and the remaining survivors devise a plan to get off the island because they obviously haven't looked at the weather forecast. Lara heads back to the Endurance to grab some tools and finds Alex pinned down by wreckage, who valiantly sacrifices his life for a socket wrench. Upon her return, Lara learns Whitman abducted Sam for Mathias' Ascension ritual and gives chase. Whitman gets a katana to the chest and Mathias makes off with his prize. After mowing through what seems like an entire clan of undead Samurais, Lara arrives just in time to interrupt the Sun Queen's soul-swapping ritual, killing Mathias in the process. The storms magically clear up and Lara and her friends are free to sail home. The End! Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP Want more from Polaris?

Since its inception, the NSA has been responsible for the collection and analysis of foreign communications and signal intelligence. An international network of intelligence agencies dubbed Echelon routed data back to NSA during the Cold War, doing high-tech battle with the Soviet Union. When the Soviet Union crumbled, the NSA instated Second Echelon which focused entirely on communications technology and the passive collection of intel worldwide, but the branch could not keep up and was ultimately ineffective. The NSA began to focus more on fighting wars on the digital front and in response to the evolution communications technology, the NSA instituted Third Echelon. Third Echelon intended to train agents to operate alone in the field with the goal to produce the ultimate intelligence gathering force, dubbed the Splinter Cell Program, and was initially conceived with a single field operative in mind: Sam Fisher. Sam Fisher, a highly experienced and respected covert agent, operated in the CIA and Navy Seals before joining Third Echelon. Recruited by Third Echelon Director Irving Lambert to spearhead the Splinter Cell program, Sam Fisher is granted the Fifth Freedom, the implicit right to do whatever it takes to protect America.

Épisode 127 - LORE - Ubisoft Montreal Lore in a Minute!

HAVE FUN! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Subscribe for a new Lore every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/polaristweets TRANSCRIPT: In 1986, five brothers founded Ubisoft, a video game publishing company, in Paris . Ubisoft distributed games from Electronic Arts, Sierra On-Line, and Microprose in France, but the company grew beyond French borders and into the rest of Europe. However, their conquest was far from over -- the Guillemot brothers set their sights on the biggest video game market in the world: North America. Ubisoft established their first North American studio in the French-speaking province of Quebec, dubbing it Ubisoft Montreal. The newly minted studio initially developed forgettable children's games, but the studio shifted into high gear when Ubisoft acquired the rights to the Tom Clancy brand in 2000. Even then, Ubisoft Montreal was still a young studio that had yet to ship a triple-A title -- but they were ambitious and knew what they wanted to create from the get go: a graphically impressive and realistic stealth game that could compete with the likes of Thief and Metal Gear Solid. Ubisoft Montreal set out to create a game that revolved around a hero that stalked from the shadows. The problem was that the technology didn't exist... at least not yet. The studio developed a dynamic lighting system that allowed for our hero sneak in real-time shadows with his signature tri-focal goggles... and thus, Splinter Cell was born. Sam Fisher instantly became an iconic video game hero and placed Ubisoft Montreal firmly on the map. Now, more than a decade later, Sam Fisher is still sneaking into hearts and minds everywhere. - - - - - - - - - - Written by Phil http://www.youtube.com/Polaris Voiced by AuzzieGamer http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAuzzieGamer Animated by Jeremy http://www.youtube.com/TerminalMontage - - - - - - - - - - Have fun!

So in its spare time, Noxus invaded the island nation of Ionia, gaining foothold in its southern provinces. With Noxus knocking at their door, the Ionians looked towards the League of Legends for help and it was ultimately decided to settle the matter on the Fields of Justice. Noxus eventually prevailed and was granted control of Ionian provinces - that is until a monk's fiery protest prompted a rematch*. The two city-states locked blades once more, but this time Ionia steamrolled their way to victory and gave Noxus the boot... only to turn its attention towards Kalamanda - a hotbed of gold and gems waiting to be claimed. The discovery had also attracted Noxus' eternal enemy, Demacia. Tensions mounted the two scrambled to extract Kalamanda's precious resources until the mines collapsed, trapping Demacian miners in the rubble. They were recovered, but so were Noxian explosives that caused the cave-in. This pushed Kalamanda to award Demacia an exclusive mining contract, though not before Jericho Swain marched in with a Demacian prisoner who conveniently confessed to framing Noxus for the collapse. Chaos erupted, armies were raised, and Noxus ruler Boram Darkwill was assassinated, setting the stage for war... until the League put the entire city in a temporal stasis bubble, because hey, when you can prevent a war and introduce a brand new game mode where you can fight robots and children and that slime from Flubber the death, why not?

DOTA, as it came to be known, outlived WarCraft 3 and went on to become its own genre, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. But before breaking out of Blizzard's World Editor, two friends had an idea; transform DOTA into a live service that was constantly updated, reiterated, and supported beyond its release. In 2006, DOTA fans Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill formed Riot Games and brought on Steve "Guinsoo" Feak and Steve "Pendragon" Mescon to help bring that idea to life. Three years later, Riot released League of Legends to much fanfare gave the world their first taste of the next generation in MOBA gaming. The game was a success, but little did the team know how far League of Legends would come in just three short years. After a successful tournament at Sweden's Dreamhack convention in the summer of 2011, League of Legends skyrocketed to video game fame, but Riot still lived in the shadow of what it considered its big brother, Blizzard.

They were soon joined by the Salarians, and the two established a governing body aboard the space station known as the Council. Over the next 500 years, the Council inducted other races into their galactic community and expanded their reach, activating mass relays wherever they could find them. And right on cue, the Council runs into the the Rachni, a hostile and ruthless race controlled by a hive-mind. The Rachni overwhelmed the Citadel races with its sheer numbers, but with the help of the Krogan and some Salarian home-schooling, the Rachni were exterminated and activating suspicious interstellar transit systems was forbidden. Then, some 400 years later, the Council again found itself at the mercy of another war, this time against the Krogans who had reproduced in extraordinary numbers and rebelled. The war lasted for a century until the Council discovered the Turians, who delivered the Salarian-developed genophage that rendered all Krogan copulation fruitless. At long last, there was peace... until the humans arrived with newly-discovered Prothean tech in tow. Human explorers were instantly destroyed by the Turians for activating a mass relay, sparking the First Contact War, but the Council eventually brokered peace between the warring races and granted humans an embassy on the Citadel. With humanity now a rising power on the galactic stage, it's up to the newly-inducted Spectre, Commander Shepard, to gain the trust of the Council and uncover the mystery behind the long-extinct Protheans.

Things blow up, you run into vent-boy, and make your great escape on the Normandy where you're given your first mission by Admiral Hackett. You head to Mars to find out the Protheans were building a huge weapon called "The Crucible." You bring this discovery to the Council who -- surprise! -- blows you off because, well, that's what they've been doing for the past two games. So now it's off to Palaven to reunite with Garrus and save a Turian primarch so you can hold a war summit which naturally goes awry because the Krogans are still miffed about that genophage thing. You travel to Sur'Kesh to grab the cure from the Salarians, then stop over at Tuchanka to disperse -- or was it sabotage? -- the cure. Time to head back to the Citadel and tell the Council the good news - but wait! - it's being overrun by Cerberus! You foil the coup attempt and save the Council yet again, and then you're on your merry way to meet with the Quarians who, of course, require your services like everybody else in the galaxy. You board a Geth Dreadnought and disable the Reaper code with the help of Legion or something that looks like it, and then dispose of an actual Reaper with a dramatic orbital strike. Now with the support of the Quarians or the Geth or maybe both, your next stop is Thessia, where you find a Prothean ready to tell you the secrets of the universe until Kai Leng ambushes you and makes off with the goods! You follow the trail from Horizon to Cerberus Headquarters where you send Kai Leng on a trip to Belize, catch up with the Illusive Man, and get all the juicy details on the Catalyst, which is actually Citadel! Now with the galaxy's forces in tow, you attack the Reapers who have conveniently amassed its fleet and the closed-off Citadel in Earth's orbit. Joker punches through to London and there you make a mad dash for the Citadel portal while nearly being obliterated by Harbinger. You and Anderson stumble your way through the Citadel, talk the Illusive Man to death, and find out that vent-boy is the mastermind of all these galaxy-wide genocides. After careful deliberation, you do this... or maybe this -- no, not that! -- but probably this and so concludes the tale of Commander Shepard.

With no end in sight, the Primordials that dwelled amongst them punished the two by forever sealing them within a rock... then flinging it into space where it would travel to absolutely nowhere for an eternity. But of course they buggered that up and the rocky prison found its home within the gravitational field of a strange new world, where it became a glowing sphere known as the Mad Moon. For centuries, the Mad Moon orbited this world while its dormant energies watched primitive societies rise and fall. Its prisoners, however, were busily chipping away at its crust. Weakened by eons of gravitational stress, the Mad Moon finally shattered in suitably apocalyptic and awesome fashion. Fragments fell into the world where its inhabitants fed on its mysterious energies and unsurprisingly became moonrock addicts. So like any magic junky, these civilizations built shrines to worship the Ancients that had inexplicably sprung from the ground, though they only possessed only a fraction of their former power, and naturally, the only way to return to full strength was to obliterate the other Ancient. Repeatedly. So on that account, the Radiant and the Dire got back to what made for a really outstanding custom map for WarCraft 3 - an endless deathmatch between Heroes who have, without prudence, come to the defense of the ancients. Good fortune to you brave hero, may you seldom ever be cursed with an enemy Phantom Lancer or a team-mate that randomed Meepo. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

It was later updated with a recipe system and Roshan by Guinsoo and renamed DOTA All-Stars, which became the most popular version of DOTA. As punishment for killing a Shopkeeper and stealing the Aegis of the Immortal, the Gods cursed him to an eternity of being robbed and killed by Heroes in addition to being named after Guinsoo's bowling ball. Valve's decision to develop DOTA 2 stemmed from the interest of several veteran Valve employees who played DOTA competitively. They spoke to the current developer of DOTA, IceFrog, offered him a tour of Valve, and eventually hired him to develop a sequel. fast facts! - - - - - - - - - - Want more from Polaris?

But while they were duking it out in the Lost Temple, mapmakers were busy tinkering with the World Editor and pumping out countless maps that flooded the custom games list -- though none had the staying power of Defense of the Ancients. DOTA was released in 2003 by mapmaker Eul and took advantage of WarCraft 3's hero system while doing away with resource-management and base-building. The five-on-five format exploded in popularity, and with the impending release of WarCraft 3's expansion pack, DOTA's best days were still ahead of it. The Frozen Throne delivered a more sophisticated World Editor, but Eul passed the proverbial torch to Steve Feak, better known as Guinsoo. Guinsoo improved upon Dota by adding Roshan, an item recipe system, and dozens of new heroes. This variant, named Dota Allstars, became the most popular, and was eventually handed over to IceFrog after several updates and revisions. DOTA grew well beyond WarCraft 3's shelf life, but being shackled to an aging RTS engine started to wear on the game and its fans. As competitive online gaming evolved, the industry took a long hard look at transforming DOTA into a genre of its own, and soon, pretenders to the throne sprang up everywhere, but none bore the DOTA name -- that is until the brain trust at Valve decided to enter the DOTA arms race. After snapping up the rights to the name and assembling an all-star team that included IceFrog and Eul, work began its DOTA's spiritual successor in 2009. Valve revamped the Source engine and implemented features the community had been clamoring for since its WarCraft 3 days, and after nearly two years in beta, DOTA 2 was released in July 2013, 10 years after Eul uploaded the very first version of Defense of the Ancients to Battle.net.

With a crack team of scientists lead by the brilliant Dr. Russell Barnaby, the US government sets up a classified research facility in the quaint South American town of Santa Cabeza. The mission was simple; find a way to mass produce cows so America can go on consuming beef at an astounding rate. Without the appropriate technology, though, Barnaby and his team's efforts were severely limited, but by fate or fortune they discovered an unidentified insect species that allowed for a major scientific breakthrough. The insect, a larger and more aggressive wasp counterpart, possessed an unusual parasitic property that Barnaby utilized to accelerate the manufacturing of cows... unaware it was a lot closer to reanimation than reproduction. And naturally, a genetically modified wasp escapes the facility and into Santa Cabeza, infecting and zombifying its residents. With a full-on zombie outbreak on their hands, the US government sends in a special forces team to make everything dead, twice, including the living. But some time later, zombies start popping up in another quaint town, this time in America-America, and that's when war journalist extraordinaire Frank West helicopters his way into ground zero looking to break the next big story... but mostly just to wear women's clothing in a mall full of zombies.

Research on inter-dimensional space travel has yielded incredible results with the UAC successfully opening gateways between Mars' two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Though objects make it through the portals without harm, the same can't be said for human volunteers who become homicidal and inexplicably explode. But that doesn't faze you because you're the toughest marine this solar system has ever seen. You assaulted your C.O. for ordering you to fire on civilians and that's landed you on this dusty rock as punishment. With nothing to do for fifty million miles but twiddle your thumbs and watch restricted flicks, you're itching for any kind of action, and that's when you get an ominous transmission from Phobos. Something freakin' evil is coming out of the gateways and Deimos has disappeared from Mars' orbit altogether. As the only combat-ready soldiers for millions of miles, you and your squadmates double-time Phobos to investigate. Then, while stuck on lookout duty, you listen over the radio as your pals are slaughtered by demon murderous minotaurs, robot spiders, and hellish meatballs. Good thing you're a bad enough of a dude to know how keys and doors work so you set out to stop the invasion from Hell... but your pals took all the guns with them and all you have is a pistol.

But his legend runs much deeper than previously believed. Germanic fairy tales tell of a guardian who roamed the Black Forest, hunting children until they confessed their wrongdoings, but his reach extends far beyond his roots in Germany. Slenderman has appeared all throughout history in England, Japan, and most recently, North America. How he chooses victims still remains a mystery, but this much we do know: Slenderman will stalk a victim, inducing massive paranoia, nightmares, and hallucinations - collectively dubbed the Slender Sickness. Death of his victims often occurred through impalement on tree branches, removal or re-insertion of plastic-wrapped organs, or abduction of already Slender Sickness-stricken subjects. His procedure has changed in recent times, however, now preferring to aggressively stalk his victims into irreversible psychosis for long periods of times until the subject is ripe for murder. Any attempts to capture Slenderman on recording devices have all failed -- he has even exhibited the ability to erase memory from our brains upon contact. We may all be victims - it's impossible to know - but one thing is certain: it's too late. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Michael grew up poor and underprivileged and thus turned to crime, robbing his very first bank in Carcer City. His efforts earned him ten grand and a prison sentence, but that didn't deter him from a career of robbery. Michael soon met Trevor Philips, a Canadian psychopath who too shared a penchant for bank heists, and together, they made a killing... until Michael fell in love with a stripper. Michael married, had two children, and realized he now had a lot more to lose if he was ever caught, and so he became more prudent professional, much to Trevor's displeasure. Naturally, things go lopsided when Michael is gravely wounded during a heist in North Yankton. After a tearful goodbye, Trevor escapes into the blizzard, leaving his partner behind. Michael, inexplicably unscathed and having got off scot-free, takes up the De Santa name and leads a comfortable life even with an unfaithful wife and a moron for a son. But when he and his new pal Franklin level a house they suspect belong to his wife's lover, Michael finds himself two million dollars in debt to a narcotics kingpin that forces him out of retirement and back into the game with Trevor.

Épisode 143 - LORE - Knack Lore in a Minute!

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore The Final Bosman is here to give you some Knack Lore! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Subscribe for a new Lore every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Written by Jared: https://twitter.com/NotQuiteFrodo Voiced by Kyle Bosman: https://twitter.com/KyleBosman http://www.gametrailers.com/shows/the-final-bosman Art by Danny: http://www.youtube.com/user/Oryozema TRANSCRIPT: Once upon a time there was a distant alternate Earth populated by billionaire archeologists and the robot armies they built in their spare time. One day a totally unrelated doctor, whose name was also Doctor, decided he was going to raise two sons: a war orphan named Lucas and an ugly golem named Knack made from relics he found in a cave. But then goblins showed up, and and attacked the billionaires with tanks and planes that they somehow had. Needing a weapon capable of defeating the inexplicably well-armed goblin armies, the Doctor discovers that Knack can absorb objects to become bigger. Especially wood for some reason. So the Doctor sends Knack and his sort-of-kind-of-but-totally-not-brother Lucas off to war to grow into a huge, godless killing machine with the mind of a teenage boy. Which is great, because making teenage boys who grew up in a stable home environment brutally murder thousands of sentient creatures has never backfired in the history of ever. So Knack and Lucas fight their way through the goblin army and confront the goblin general Gundahar, who is tallest and therefore the leader, in an epic OH GOD THEY SET ME ON FIRE Have fun!

To keep the game balanced, Supercell uses an automated testing simulation that runs thousands of battles round-the-clock to identify any balance-breaking issues. Aside from being one of the most powerful units in the game and implied as a female, P.E.K.K.A. is also a common male name in Finland where Supercell resides.

Brass is actually used in water filters because of its natural purifying properties, though it can't purify evil desert spirits. Shangri'la might have held the Tree of Life, but in Tibetan scriptures it says there are seven Shangri'las, all created by the second Buddha around the end of the 8th century. Each one is said to grant near immortality and permanent contentment. The El Dorado virus shares many traits with the Yellow Sign from R.W. Chambers The King in Yellow. In the book, anyone who comes into contact with the sign can be possessed by the King in Yellow until the end of their lifespan, just like the infected Descendants are slaves to the El Dorado sarcophagus over many generations.

Épisode 146 - LORE - Sony Playstation Lore in a Minute!

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Dodger is here with your Sony Playstation Lore! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Subscribe for a new Lore every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Written by Phil: https://www.youtube.com/user/Polaris Voiced by Dodger: http://www.youtube.com/user/PressHeartToContinue https://www.twitter.com/Dexbonus Art by Jeremy: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Transcript: In the 1990's, the video game world was dominated by Nintendo and Sega, which resulted in fierce competition that forced both companies to continuously innovate, but Sega struck first with the introduction of the Sega CD. Without the technology to compete, Nintendo enlisted Sony to develop a CD-ROM add on for the SNES. To do this, Sony brought on Ken Kutaragi, a brash but brilliant engineer to make it happen. Nintendo then realized the contract would grant Sony the rights to every game written on the SNES CD-ROM format and decided to drop Sony without warning. In 1991, Sony announced the SNES-compatible PlayStation at CES, but the very next day, Nintendo revealed its secret partnership with Philips. Spurred on by his Samurai principles and the sting of betrayal, the head of Sony ordered Kutaragi to create their own video game console, and in 1993, Sony announced the PSX. But with zero credibility in the industry, Sony and the PSX was predicted to fail. Developers were apprehensive because 3D gaming was so high-concept at the time, but the release of Virtua Fighter opened the eyes of publishers and Sony went on to sign 250 developers in Japan alone. The PSX sold a million units in its first few months in Japan, but winning the West would be more challenging. Sony spent a rumored $4 million on its E3 booth in 1995 and it paid off - the demand was staggering and the PlayStation won the console war handily. So, in that single moment of deception, Nintendo had created a juggernaut that not only outsold its own console 3-to-1, but pave the way for repeat performances by the PS2, PS3, and now, the PS4.

Right before their final confrontation a mysterious white light engulfed them and their armies, transporting them all to limbo to float around harmlessly for all eternity. In the years since their banishment, the environment has become polluted, governments have fallen, and the Earth is ruled by megacorporations that are constantly embroiled in bloody proxy wars across the globe. The largest corporation, Ultratech, sells biological weapons to all the other companies, which nobody seems to have a problem with, but they also produce the most popular television show in the world, a fighting tournament called Killer Instinct. The combatants for Killer Instinct are either genetically altered monsters, volunteers, or unwilling prisoners, all of which must fight each other to the death. The winner gets any wish fulfilled by Ultratech, and all the losers die. Ultratech sees fit to summon one of the demon warlords from Limbo and have him fight the winning competitor for their wish, resulting in a tear in the space time continuum that grows as the tournament goes on. The other competitors, including an alien from an ice planet, a ninja from the future, a weaponized robot-man, and an actual werewolf, all go to town on each other until Black Orchid defeats the warlord and the Ultratech building is launched 2000 years into the past. But instead of teaming up to fight the immortal energy monster who wants to take over the world, all the fighters just beat up on each other instead. Have fun!

Spyro's Kingdom made it all the way to alpha state before being scuttled in Spring 2010. Skylanders have been released in a number of color variants, including metallic, glow-in-the-dark, and even pearl. Many of the processes used to mold or flock these variants is purposefully difficult, in order to dissuade counterfeit figures. Most of the Skylanders have been redesigned at some point, with Zap having been an electric snail prior to his own redesign. However, Camo's earlier version, known as Sun Dragon, appears in the first trailer along with the other Skylanders instead of his current form.

The team concluded that not only would the PC surpass the PS2 on a technical level, but could also compete with the PS2 as a home console. Gates then ordered the team to build, market, and release what they called the DirectX Box, or better known today as the Xbox. Microsoft built the Xbox like a PC; flexible yet more powerful than the then-industry leading PS2. But the team had less than a year to release the Xbox alongside the PS2, so instead, Gates held the console back for another year so that it could realize its full potential. With that extra time, Microsoft went to work on an online multiplayer platform they dubbed "Xbox Live" - their ace in the hole. The world finally got a taste of Microsoft's first foray into the home console arena at GDC 2000. Gates, in a black leather jacket, declared to a bewildered audience that a spreadsheet company was going to launch an American video game console in a market dominated by Japanese tech giants... and he got a standing ovation for it. Microsoft then showcased the Xbox at E3 two months later, and thats when they first set eyes on a game called Halo. Impressed, Microsoft quickly snapped up Bungie and made Halo an exclusive launch title for the Xbox, which in turn helped move 1.5 million units in just three months, cementing Microsoft as a major player in the gaming world. Now, having proven itself against the likes of Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft looks to shake up the industry yet again with the Xbox One. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

The warrior king Alistair allowed his Floette to fight in the war, but it was killed and Alistair got really, really depressed, deciding the best course of action was to build a totally not crazy eternal life giving resurrection machine that sucked the life out of living things and redirected the energy into a given target. He succeeded in bringing Floette back to life, but by the transitive property of doomsday device ownership was now totally insane. So he turned the life giving machine into an ultimate weapon that wiped out all life on the continent and ended the war, forcing Floette to flee. Overcome by grief, Alistair went into the woods to die, but learned that the life giving energies of the eternal Xerneas had let him live forever. So he buried the doomsday weapon and decided to become a boxcar hobo. Three thousand years after that, a scary fashion cult led by a billionaire technology mogul has unearthed the doomsday device and captured the ancient gods of life and death to power it, hoping to kill every living thing so that true beauty can be reestablished and the planet can return to its pristine state. Now it's up to you, a fledgling trainer, to become a true Pokemon Master and defeat all the gym leaders and the elite four, Team Flare, the death and life pokemon Xerneas and Yvetal, all the other legendaries, and the God pokemon Arceus. Plus every other player who's already done that. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

In the myth the tree connects the three realms (X, Y, and Z) with its roots, and each world is home to a guardian creature, which are an eagle, a deer, and a wurm. Unlike previous games, the Kalos region is based on modern-day France instead of a region of Japan. This marks the second core game to have a region based on a foreign country, as Black & White's Unova was based on New York City. While most of the core mechanics remain intact, the addition of an IV-cloning Destiny Knot has made competitive breeding much easier for those involved in the metagame.

Épisode 152 - LORE - Pokemon Franchise Lore in a Minute!

29 novembre 2013

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore JWittz is here with your Pokemon Franchise Lore! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Written by Jared Rosen: http://www.youtube.com/user/HotPepperGaming https://twitter.com/NotQuiteFrodo Voiced by JWittz: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheJWittz https://twitter.com/TheJWittz Animated by Zeurel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Zeurel https://twitter.com/Zeurel --------- Transcript: Satoshi Tajiri was born on August 28th, 1965, in a small suburb of Tokyo. Known for catching bugs in the ponds behind his house, he eventually transitioned into playing arcade games when the city paved over all his favorite hunting spots to make way for apartment buildings. He later founded Game Freak and began creating titles for Nintendo and Sega, but still wanted to develop a way to trade small creatures across a game boy link cable. Fast forward to 1996. Pokemon Red and Green launch in Japan to modest sales until players figure out that Mew is inside the game. A promotional magazine giveaway for 20 Mews receives 78,000 applications, and sales skyrocket so much that a third version, Blue, is created with enhanced features. This leads to a card game, a manga series, toys, anime, and a real life Pokemon store in downtown Tokyo. But most importantly, it meant the series was coming overseas. Pokemon released internationally two years later. Instead of flooding the market with all the Pokemon merchandise at once, Game Freak piecemealed it out over a period of two years in order to preserve the hype, using trends in consumer psychology to hook kids on the games. It worked, and Pokemon rapidly became one of the most popular franchises of the decade. By 2009 Game Freak and Nintendo had sold over 190 million games, with 24 billion dollars worth of games and merch in their pocket. Pokemon has now become cross-generational in real life, with adults introducing it to their children to spread it even further, clinching Game Freak's ultimate marketing goal of building a an actual Pokemon world and having us all live in it.

The Master Emerald was guarded by a giant water monster called appropriately enough "Chaos". An echidna tribe attempted to use the chaos emeralds for personal gain and was wiped out by Chaos' wrath which flooded the planet, essentially creating Mobius' first bible story. Fast forward a millennia or so: above the planet Mobius in a giant space station a human doctor named Gerald Robotnik was dedicated to defending the world from an evil alien. From this alien's DNA , the doctor created another talking animal named Shadow the Hedgehog and no one thought that was weird. After his fatally ill granddaughter was killed by the military, Gerald went insane and tried to run his station into the Earth, which inspired his grandson Ivo Robotnik (known by casual friends as Eggman) to take up a doctorate and try and rule the world. Ivo gets really into turning animals into robots, which understandably forces the half-animal, half people of Mobius to band together into a unit of Freedom Fighters led by Sonic The Hedgehog, Sally Acorn, and Miles "Tails" Prower, a fox who can fly with his butt. Again, no one thinks this is weird. Sonic thwarts Robotnik across the years and multiple adventures: traveling through time, becoming attitude rivals with Knuckles the Echidna, competing in a foot-race, becoming a werewolf, a knight, an Olympic Games contender. Look, Robotnik keeps trying to take over the world. Just keep this off DeviantArt, guys. Have fun. Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Transcript: Fast facts speed by, Sonic the Hedgehog... Published by Archie Comics, Sonic has the longest running video game comic book series in history and has depicted crossovers with the likes of Megaman, Spawn, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Too fast facts for the naked eye, Sonic the Hedgehog... Michael Jackson was recruited to compose music for Sonic 3 and allegedly worked on the game but chose to remain uncredited because he was unhappy with the sound reproduction on the Genesis. You can hear similarities between tracks on his later albums and several Sonic 3 levels such as Carnival Night Zone and the end credits music. Fast facts can really move! Fast facts got an attitude! Before Sonic, Dr Robotnik was first conceived as the hero of the series to replace Alex Kidd as the mascot of Sega, and his first concept was based off former president Theodore Roosevelt in his pajamas.

Voiced by Octopimp http://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Animated by Scott Falco http://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Written by Phil http://www.youtube.com/user/Polaris Transcript: In 1940, Marty Bromley formed Standard Games and operated slot machines in Hawaii, but it was outlawed 12 years later and Bromley decided to move his business to Japan and rename it Service Games. It was during that time that David Rosen, an American Air Force Officer, began importing coin-operated machines to Japan under the name Rosen Enterprises. The two companies negotiated a merger to become SEGA Enterprises and soon after, they designed and manufactured their first arcade machine, Periscope. The 70's saw a total transformation of the arcade industry, so to keep up with the market, Sega began building video arcade games and acquired a distribution company run by Hayao Nakayama, who would later serve as Sega's CEO. Sega became a leader in the arcade market, but the video game crash of 1983 would force Sega into uncharted territory; the living room. Sega entered the home console market with the SG-1000, which was largely a failure compared to Nintendo's Famicom, but it helped ignite a creative renaissance within the company. After the lackluster launch of the SG-1000 Mark II, Sega decided to try its luck in the American market with the Mark III, which they redesigned as the Sega Master System. This time, Sega delivered hits like Space Harrier, Outrun, and Shinobi, and an original game exclusive to the console, Alex Kidd. in Miracle World. Still, Sega couldn't contend with Nintendo and it was back to the drawing board. The third time around, though, Sega had a plan - or more accurately - a Mario-killer. Sega launched the Mega Drive, rechristened it as the Genesis for the West, and packaged it along with its new mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic went on to sell 15 million copies worldwide and drive Sega to capture over half the market share from Nintendo, sparking a fierce rivalry for years to come. Have fun!

Voiced by RicePirate http://www.youtube.com/user/ricepiratenewgrounds Animated by Sam Johnson http://www.youtube.com/user/high5toons Written by Phil Transcript: The aftermath of Great World War II prompted the United Nations to form a peacekeeping force in order to prevent a third world war, but that alone wouldn't be enough; a clandestine unit known as Operations Group Echo: Black Ops 9, in tandem with a global defense agency, was ordered to protect the world from those who would wage war. But, after a failed assassination attempt on Saddam Hussein, the UN could no longer deny the existence of Black Ops 9, and in response, reformed it into the Global Defense Initiative. The Brotherhood of NOD, however, saw it as a tool to keep the world superpowers in power. In 1995, a meteor containing an alien organism impacts Earth and is discovered by the Brotherhood's enigmatic leader Kane. The organism, which he names Tiberium, roots itself into the earth, siphoning precious minerals and metals out of the soil and concentrating them into crystals to be conveniently harvested. Kane quickly monopolizes Tiberium and propels the Brotherhood of Nod into a world power. He then whips his followers into a religious frenzy, proclaiming Tiberium as the next step in human evolution, and as such, makes it their mission to control, harvest, and utilize Tiberium to augment the human race. Nod amasses a military and launches operations all over the world to consolidate its control over Tiberium, and following a series of high-profile bombings, the UN authorizes GDI to engage Nod, sparking the first Tiberium War.

Voiced by Dodger http://www.youtube.com/user/PressHeartToContinue Animated by Edgar Nielsen http://www.youtube.com/user/FunyMony Written by Phil http://www.youtube.com/user/Polaris Transcript: Red Alert was quickly created to cash in on Command & Conquer's surprising success, but Westwood was afraid of having a playable Nazi faction in the game. Instead, it was reworked to feature an alternate timeline that served as the direct prequel to Tiberian Dawn. After a stellar performance in a placeholder video, Joseph Kucan, Westwood's lead video director, was given the role of Kane and, to date, has played the character for over 15 years. Command & Conquer was originally intended to have a high fantasy setting, but was changed to a contemporary war setting to better suit the political climate of the 90's, therefore making it more accessible.

VoiceD by Totalbiscuit: http://www.youtube.com/user/TotalHalibut Written by Phil: http://www.youtube.com/user/Polaris Animated by Jeremy: http://www.youtube.com/TerminalMontage Transcript: 1945 marked the end of a grueling world war and saw the Allies triumph over the Axis powers at the cost of millions of lives. The downfall of the Nazi regime wouldn't change that, but one man believed could; Albert Einstein. Einstein's brilliant work in the field of physics eventually led him to create the world's first nuclear bombs which, regrettably, resulted in the deaths of thousands. But his work also led to the birth of Quantum Physics and the ability to manipulate a tear in the fabric of space and time, effectively inventing time-travel. After many years of research and experimentation, Einstein finally built a time machine which he named the ChronoSphere and put into motion a plan he hid from his superiors. Einstein executed the final phases of the ChronoSphere in 1949 and sent himself back in time to Landsberg, Germany 1924; the only confirmed account of Hitler's whereabouts before his rise to power. With a single handshake, the Fuhrer-to-be inexplicably vanished from the timeline and Einstein was returned to the present. However, in devising an alternate reality, Einstein had unwittingly created an even more ruthless dictator in Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union. With Nazi Germany out of the way, Stalin was free to conquer nearly all of Europe, igniting "The Great World War II." Now embroiled in a more devastating war than Einstein could have imagined, it's up the the Allied forces to take back Europe from the Soviet Union and prevent the rise of a tyrant hellbent on global conquest.

They ruled the vast jungles until an ice age enveloped Faerun, wiping out the cruel reptiles except for their queen, Morag, and her subjects. They escaped to an alternate dimension using a magical device, the Source Stone, and there they bided their time until they could return to rule Faerun once more. Thousands of years later, Neverwinter is unwittingly built atop the Source Stone which, upon its discovery, released a plague dubbed the Wailing Death that crippled the city, prompting Neverwinter's enemy to the north, Luskan, to wage a war sponsored by Morag herself. Morag is defeated and the fighting ceases thanks to a mysterious adventurer. A second plot to conquer Neverwinter, this time with an undead army, is derailed by another mysterious adventurer, but a century later, a fire primordial finally does Neverwinter in for good. This fiery ancient's awakening resulted in the eruption of a nearby volcano that completely obliterates Neverwinter. Yet, survivors have returned to settle around the ruins that was once their home. With the survivors struggling to rebuild amidst the threat of foul beasts and nefarious plots, Lord Neverember hopes to recruit more mysterious adventurers to help restore Neverwinter to its former glory as the Jewel of the North.

Mysteries of the Westgate was completed in 2007, but Atari delayed the adventure pack because their DRM system wasn't ready. It was finally released two years later but players were no longer interested in what was supposed to be the first of many adventure packs. Neverwinter Nights originally revolved around a mechanic called the Madness Meter, which would make it increasingly harder to distinguish reality from the player's delusions. This, the original plot, and access to the Baldur's Gate IP were taken away from Bioware when they sued Interplay over distribution problems. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Épisode 161 - LORE - BioWare Lore in a Minute!

20 décembre 2013

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Chad tells the tale of BioWare's rise to RPG dominance! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Written by Phil Voiced by Chad Quandt: https://twitter.com/QuandtumTheory Animated by Jeremey: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Transcript: Before they were an RPG powerhouse, Bioware was a tiny video game studio founded by three doctors in Alberta, Canada. Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk , and Augustine Yip enjoyed much success in the medical field which provided them with the capital to make their first game, Shattered Steel, which oddly enough, was a mech simulator. Its modest success encouraged BioWare to plan a sequel, but those plans were scrapped when the studio instead decided to work on an RPG titled Battleground: Infinity. Their publisher, Interplay, found that it was a good fit for the Dungeons & Dragons license they had just acquired and had BioWare implement the D&D ruleset, resulting in Baldur's Gate. Yip decided to continue with his medical practice but Mew-see-kah and Zes-chuck left all that doctor stuff behind to pursue development on Baldur's Gate full-time, which upon its release in 1998, sold two million copies. Baldur's Gate's success led to Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, and Baldur's Gate 2, all games that used the Infinity engine. After a brief detour with MDK 2, BioWare went to work on resurrecting Neverwinter Nights, but during it's development, Interplay went bankrupt, forcing the studio and the project into the hands of Infogrames. After Neverwinter Nights' release, BioWare went on to make Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, then after merging with EA, the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series, and if you can believe it, a Sonic RPG. Finally, after 16 years and nearly as many games, Muzyka and Zeschuk retired in 2012, but the legacy they left behind still lives on in BioWare and all those characters we fall in love with to an unhealthy degree.

Some time later a Russian research group begins work on biorobotic replacement humans, hoping to repopulate Eastern Europe artificially rather than biologically. This fails and they all die horribly. The team's data is purchased off the black market by scientific holdings firm Jodorowsky, Inc., who conduct brutal experiments on local villagers to create a line of sentient bioroids they can ship internationally. Years later, Agent Jean-Jack Gibson of Rug Hunt discovers the bioroids are systematically invading Neo Kobe by killing people, stealing their memories, and taking their place, leading to an all-out confrontation with specially designed Snatcher units that have replaced most of his friends and his missing wife, Alice. Alice Gibson manipulates her former husband into activating an airplane bomb that triggers a large-scale Snatcher invasion throughout Neo Kobe, forcing Rug Hunt to rebrand themselves as the anti-Snatcher taskforce JUNKER. Amnesiac rookie agent Gillian Seed and his navigation robot Metal Gear Mk. II are contacted by Jean-Jack right before he's killed by a pair of Snatchers, and tracks them to the Outer Heaven nightclub where it turns out that the entire city is filled with murder robots, Gillian and his wife are cryogenically frozen scientists from the Cold War, Metal Gear is actually a Metal Gear, and the bioroids want to either take over the world or cause a nuclear winter because the sun hurts their skin.

One fateful night, at the annual Christmas Party, an employee described his vision of the PC going beyond the realm of word processing and slideshow presentations, and in a fit of rage, Bill banished him to the cold, never to return. However, his exile didn't kill him - he instead survived the only way he knew how... by setting fires to trees and eating wild dogs that had somehow wandered onto the slopes. The world forgot about him, but he didn't forget about Bill. He not only survived... he adapted... evolved even. Soon, an entire pack of wild dogs couldn't sate his hunger. He was always hungry. Always... so hungry. He needed more and there was only one thing that tasted better than wild dogs: Revenge... and human flesh. What better way to satisfy both urges than to prey on unsuspecting Microsoft employees zipping down the slopes? And so feasted on every soul who had miraculously made it through the rocks and trees and dogs at exactly 2000 meters down the mountain. Decades have passed, and yet, this Abominable Snow Monster still lives, waiting for the one day Bill would ski freely into his hungry jaws.

Black Mask places a fifty million dollar bounty on Batman's head, attracting 8 deadly and somewhat obscure assassins: Killer Croc, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Bane, Shiva, Firefly, Copperhead, and Electrocutioner. Batman's only ally is his butler Alfred, who's totally against Bruce's masked vigilante lifestyle, leading to an awkward "you're not my real dad" angst-y backtalk when he suggests that Batman eat something or try to make friends, especially with Captain James Gordon. Gordon, on the other hand, is at odds with Batman because of his blatant disregard for the law, not to mention all the ultra-deadly assassins his bounty has lured to pristine Gotham City. Now it's up to Batman to defeat crime lords and assassins, make new friends, convince Gotham he's the hero it deserves, and be home in time to open presents.

The Demon King Demise wanted this power for himself, so waged war with Hylia until she sent the last remaining people, along with the triforce, into the sky to form the city of Skyloft. That didn't work, Ghirahim kidnapped princess Zelda, revived Demise, and the hero Link defeated him -- in doing so cursing the trio's offspring to clash with each other until the end of time. Hyrule is founded along with the Temple of Time, and there was much rejoicing. After some early battles with an emo wind mage, Link's descendant was tasked with rescuing Zelda by opening the Doors of Time, unsealing the Master Sword and defeating Ghirahim's incarnation Ganondorf with the aid of a magical Ocarina, leading to a series of adventures involving an eldritch god of madness and death, an invasion of monsters from the dark world, an island adventure in a talking boat, and a land adventure in a magic train. Or in the alternate timeline split where Link fails to defeat Ganondorf, some time travel, some weather manipulation, and waking up a magic whale with an enchanted cello. Years after waking up said whale, the evil sorceress Yuga begins sealing the descendants of the mystical seven sages into paintings, and Link's current incarnation must travel between the worlds of Lorule and Hyrule to save them all and defeat a revived Ganondorf with the help of Princess Zelda before both worlds are torn apart and remade in Ganon's evil image.

Miyamoto intended for Ocarina of Time to be a first-person game, but designer Yoshiaki Koizumi thought it was important to see Link and instead compromised with Z-Targeting. Nintendo didn't want to confuse people with left-handed sword controls, so they mirrored the entirety of Twilight Princess because flipping only Link would have changed the way certain encounters worked in the game.

Inspired by his childhood experiences of exploring forests and caves, Miyamoto teamed up with Takashi Tezuka to create a game that would impart a sense of freedom and wonder to the player - the complete opposite of Super Mario which relied heavily on high scores and arcade-style gameplay. So along with an expansive overworld and cryptic dungeons, Miyamoto made Zelda a non-linear game that lacked clear instruction, forcing confused and frustrated gamers to communicate in order to solve puzzles, defeat bosses, and uncover every heart container - a scheme that added to the mystique of Link's adventure Yet, with all its innovations, the Legend of Zelda still had one last revolutionary feature packed into the cartridge: game saving. Zelda was the first home-console game to have a battery-powered backup to record progress which encouraged gamers to play beyond failure or death - it was a proper 'adventure' in every sense of the word, and one that you could return to at any time at that. Glazed in gold, The Legend of Zelda sold 6.5 million units and was an instant hit. But beyond sales and critical acclaim, Miyamoto and his team single-handedly defined the action-adventure genre and ushered in what many consider the modern era of gaming. The rest is history.

Nyarlathotep broke the rules of the bet by directly interfering with humanity, manipulating the head of SEBEC to create a machine capable of turning the imaginary into reality so he could collapse one into the other and destroy the world. Philemon gives nine students the power of unleashing their 'true selves,' known as Personas, and the team defeats Nyarlathotep and saves the day. Years later a Joker spirit begins murdering people through phone calls, and when a new group of Persona users investigate, Japan is invaded by zombie Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. It turns out zombie Hitler is Nyarlathotep, so the team defeats him and saves the day, but they also have to forget everything they ever knew about each other to prevent Armageddon. One boy doesn't, creating a domino effect that opens up an end-of-the-world paradox. The group reunites, goes inside the paradox, casts down Nyarlathotep and saves the day. Philemon and Nyarlathotep leave Earth forever, but without them humans end up invoking an avatar of death, the Shinto mother goddess of creation, and a murder robot possessed by the rulers of Crete. Now a new ancient entity has arisen to free humans from the hardships of modern life by killing them, and it's up to you to defeat you innermost fears, assemble a new team of Persona users, and probably sacrifice yourself to save the day until the next all-powerful folkloric god-being shows up.

Most aspects of Japanese society were changed or removed, with the strange exception of Shinto shrines and shoe lockers. FAST FACTS! The television program Phoenix Ranger Featherman R is an homage to Chojin Sentai Jetman as well as a major recurring plot device since Persona 2, where a bunch of children dressed as the heroes before setting their friend on fire. FAST FACTS! The only consistent theme across every Shin Megami Tensei game is the ongoing war between Heaven and Hell, with Lucifer and Yehowah taking various roles throughout the series.

Épisode 170 - LORE -- Persona Franchise Lore in a Minute!

17 janvier 2014

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Clara tells the tale of Persona's journey to the west! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Written and voiced by Clara Sao Animated by Terminal Montage: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage --- Last Lore: http://bit.ly/1ja0A9y Next Lore: http://bit.ly/1dVz4oO Person Lore: http://bit.ly/1abyhEZ --- Transcript: The Megami Tensei or MegaTen franchise was born fully loaded with demons and dungeon crawling in 1987; their initial game based off the first novel of the series Digital Devil Story. Atlus wanted to develop an RPG that was compelling like the Shin Megami Tensei series, but with less difficult gameplay so as to appeal to a mass audience. They introduced Personas, inspired by the Jungian psychology concept of the mask an individual puts between the self and the world, and set the game in a contemporary high school rather than the medieval or fantasy setting typical of 1990's RPGs. Atlus Japan developed the game, but the small team at Atlus USA, who still lacked a flagship franchise, was left to translate the massive amount of text to English and make a game full of Japanese culture references relatable to an American audience, so they worked to alter references to Japan, include more western sounding names and diversify the cast. They also changed the title to Revelations:Persona, apparently overlooking the biblical reference, spawning uproar and devil worshiping accusations due to the demon-looking character on the front of the box, but officials claimed they just thought "Revelations" sounded cool. Nevertheless, the 1996 release of Revelations:Persona became a cult hit, establishing Persona's place in the RPG market and paving the way for all the future Persona games, remakes and demon battles to come.

The crew and civilians board the escape pods, only to be shot down by the ship's own defenses, forcing the captain to activate the ship's self destruct system. From the wreckage that falls onto a nearby planet rises a naked woman with long purplish-blue hair. Her eyes reflect this day when "god" and "humankind" fell to earth. Skipping ahead several millennia, the Ethos, a church-like, culture-preserving institution, has excavated and repaired "Gears"—giant humanoid fighting machines, from ancient ruins, causing a Gear excavating race between warring countries Kislev and Aveh. The war, raging so long that their people have forgotten why it started, is brought to a whole new level of destruction. Kislev pulls ahead until Gebler, a mysterious military force, assists Aveh who is now progressively capturing Kislev's territory. Meanwhile, in the remote village of Lahan, the amnesiac Fei Fong Wong is quietly minding his own business when a runaway gear crash lands, forcing him onto a journey where he'll confront renegade robot gods, evil split personalities, and... oooohhh-kaaaay?

Their success forced Square away from electric power and into the console games market, where they began porting and developing a series of highly unsuccessful games that threatened to sink the company forever. Sakaguchi, now a full time employee after Square became independent, took three other employees with him and decided to create a game based on the success of Enix's Dragon Quest -- which, if it failed, would make him give up game development forever. He called the title his "Final Fantasy." The game sold 400,000 copies. Hot on the heels of their success, the company established Final Fantasy as their main franchise and went on to a series of highly successful releases including Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, and Secret of Mana -- up until the 2001 release of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, which was such a massive failure (despite Steve Buscemi being eaten by a ghost worm) that it threatened to tear apart a pending merger with former inspiration and current competitor Enix. Enix only agreed to the deal after Sony stepped in to purchase a portion of Square, making it financially stable long enough for Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts to make back all the money lost on Spirits, and in 2003 Square-Enix was officially formed. Six years later the company acquired Eidos Interactive, a move that wound up saving them after Final Fantasy began to lag, and now produces Tomb Raider, Hitman, Thief, and Deus Ex -- all of which are good, but none of which are Kingdom Hearts 3.

After many years the three realized that war never changes, and so froze themselves in stone to be guarded by their creations in a peaceful dimension far from the reach of man. During a sweeping technological revolution hundreds of years later, a wounded woman named Madeline stumbles into the Land of Espers and is nursed back to health by elf-lion-claw-monster-thing Maduin, and the two fall in love and totally get busy, producing a magical daughter named Terra that represents the peaceful union of man and magic. Two years later the evil Gestahlian Empire, looking to expand their military dominance and defeat a rebel alliance known as The Returners, invades the Land of Espers in order to seize their power for themselves, and when Madeline is accused of causing the invasion she flees with her daughter and is killed by the emperor, who imprisons Maduin and turns Terra into a weapon under the control of insane clown Kefka Palazzo. Terra is eventually released from his control by a frozen rainbow bird lizard and saved by a career thief who inducts her into the rebel alliance, and after assembling a team of ex-Samurais, beast children, inventor kings, genderless mimes, ninjas and a yeti, must re-awaken her innate magical powers before facing down the empire and a newly ascended god-clown that embodies all remaining magic in the world.

Many party members from Final Fantasy VI appear as spectators during the gladiator boss battle in Square's Secret of Evermore. Though obscured by the light, Locke, Mog, Relm, Strago, Terra, and Umaro can all be seen in the stands just north of the flaming death pit. In August 1995, a 3D tech demo of Final Fantasy VI was unveiled at the SIGGRAPH computer graphics convention in Los Angeles. Featuring Locke, Terra, and Shadow, the game was assumed to be an N64 remake, but was really a test of the Final Fantasy VII engine. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

His creation, literally named Final Fantasy, was so successful that the company devoted most of its resources to producing sequels. Though the original Final Fantasy would find massive success in the United States in 1990, the long development times and delays revolving around Final Fantasy II and the release of the SNES halted localization in exchange for the newly released Final Fantasy IV, which was named Final Fantasy II for the global market, confusing everyone everywhere. The series lagged until the release of Final Fantasy VI in 1994, which launched as one of the most successful entries and kicked off a string of bestselling games including Final Fantasies VII, VIII, IX, Crystal Chronicles and X. Emboldened by their success, publisher Squaresoft put Sakaguchi in charge of directing their first feature film, investing four years and $137 million into what they hoped would be the first in a long line of Final Fantasy films. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within released in summer 2001, and was one of the biggest box office disasters in the history of filmmaking, singlehandedly bankrupting Square's film division. Only the sales of FFX and Kingdom Hearts saved the company, and the series later expanded to the MMO and mobile games markets. Having suffered a number of critical setbacks in the last few years, Final Fantasy XV is poised to take back the JRPG crown and return the illustrious series to its former glory.

Dr. Light then sealed X away in a capsule that would test his ethical and moral programming to ensure he could distinguish right from wrong, but it would take at least 30 years, outliving Dr. Light himself. A hundred years later, the capsule is discovered by Dr. Cain, who promptly activates X and with his help, begins developing Reploids based on both Dr. Light's designs and assorted zoo animals. These reploids, all naturally armed to the teeth, become increasingly violent and are classified as Mavericks. With a potential revolution on their hands, the human government puts together the Maverick Hunter task force lead by the first and finest of the Reploids, Sigma. Sigma and his Elite Hunter Unit uncover yet another capsule that contained Zero, Dr. Wily's rival to X. Sigma narrowly defeated Zero, but had also unwittingly released a Maverick virus that had been brewing in the capsule, which infects Sigma and inexplicably reverses Zero's Maverick programming. Now a Maverick himself, Sigma corrupts his lieutenants, declares Reploid Independence, and wages an all-out war against his human masters. Now it's up X and Zero - but mostly X - to defeat the robot masters in specific order, collect upgrades carefully scattered along the way by the late Dr. Light, and put down Sigma and his robot rebellion for good.

He is, however, responsible for Zero who he intended to be the main character in Mega Man X before the idea was shot down by Capcom brass. Characters drawn by Inafune pose with a W-shaped hand gesture because the number four means death in Japanese, so characters have their ring and middle fingers clasped together, which gives the illusion of three fingers. Because of hardware limitations, Capcom reverse-designed Mega Man by creating a pixel character that read well against Famicom rendered backgrounds. Inafune was then directed to translate those pixels into character art which became the Blue Bomber we know and love today. Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

William Strife recounts the tale of Mega Man's rise, fall, and resurrection! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Written by Phil http://www.youtube.com/user/Polaris Voiced by William Strife: http://www.youtube.com/user/Linkthe1st Animated by Jeremey Chinshue: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Transcript: In 1987, Keiji Inafune joined Capcom as a graphic designer on Street Fighter but to make a push into the home console market, the company needed a new mascot to rally around. Inafune was pulled from Street Fighter and appointed as the lead artist on a new Famicom project they called "Rockman." Because the team was so small, Inafune designed Rockman's characters, enemies, logos, and even instruction booklet. Rockman, or to Western audiences, Mega Man, sold adequately despite the revolting boxart but not well enough to warrant a sequel. Capcom eventually relented but held the sequel hostage by forcing Inafune and his team to first complete Professional Baseball Murder Mystery and Legendary Wings. Mega Man 2 finally released in Japan in '88, and the U.S. in '89, and was met with universal praise, compelling Capcom to line up yearly installments. Under Inafune's direction, the Mega Man franchise prospered throughout the early 90's thanks in part to the Mega Man X series, but its popularity began to wane in the 32-bit era. With Mega Man on life support and no corporate ladders left to climb, Inafune left Capcom in 2010 to begin anew by forming his own company, Comcept. Now with support of his fans and tons of Kickstarter money, The Father of Mega Man vows to resurrect the spirit of the Blue Bomber as Beck in the Mighty No 9. Have fun!

Épisode 180 - LORE -- Telltale's Walking Dead Lore in a Minute!

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Brandon Moore is here with your Walking Dead Lore! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Voiced by Brandon Moore: http://www.youtube.com/user/SingingAndComedyOfSC Written by Clara Animated by Zeurel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Zeurel Transcript: Former history professor Lee Everett is on his way to serve a life sentence in prison when the chatty sheriff suddenly hits a highway-crossing zomb--I mean "walker," causing the car to spin out of control. When Lee regains consciousness, he discovers corpses are reanimating and boy, are they hungry. The origin of the outbreak is unknown, though some theories include biological terrorism, a government engineered virus, or, wrath of God. Walkers have poor vision, don't talk, and are relatively weak individually. However, they communicate via pack mentality, outnumber the living 5000 to 1 and they all admire warm, tasty survivor flesh. No known vaccine or treatment exists, and scientists are unable to even determine whether the cause is a virus, bacteria, fungus, parasite, but somewhere between seconds and hours after death, the brain stem is reanimated along with basic motor function and an impulse to feed. Lee gains a second chance at life in the world of the undead, but he must make tough decisions on invisible timers, protect a little girl, avoid getting bitten, and go head to head with mankind's worst enemy: jerks.

Too bad, because they have to figure out the whole destroy the brain thing on their own. Though they don't need to breathe, or have all the pieces of their respiratory system, Walkers have an acute sense of smell. Before collaborating with Telltale Games, Robert Kirkman, the creator of the Walking dead comic, had played Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, and became interested in creating a Walking Dead game because he enjoyed Telltale's ability to create an engaging narrative.

The three went on to found Telltale, Incorporated in 2004 and wanted to continue their development on the six foot talking dog and "hyperkinetic rabbity thing" duo series. For months, Bruner locked himself in his apartment to begin building, from scratch, the Telltale Tool or T3 Tool, an engine on which they built their first game, Telltale Texas Hold'em. Telltale then tried to use their angel funding to buy the rights to Sam & Max:Freelance Police from LucasArts, but were denied. Unwilling to accept defeat, Telltale approached series creator, Steve Purcell and obtained the rights for new Sam & Max games after the license with LucasArts expired in 2005. With Sam & Max and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, Telltale Games became the first company to release episodic games on a regular schedule. But it wasn't until the release of The Walking Dead, winner of over 90 Game of the Year awards, when Telltale earned the respect and recognition of the industry as a top developer. In only a single decade, Telltale has revitalized and redefined the interactive tailored narrative, leaving adventurers pointing and clicking for more.

In a post-apocalyptic New York full of dangerous criminals and street gangs, the brothers use their Sou-Setsu-Ken for good, training others in self-defense. However, Billy and Jimmy share more than fighting styles, complementary wardrobes, and an unwavering moral compass. They also have the same love interest, Marion Kelly, leading to friendly fraternal rivalry and potentially hilarious identity-switching hijinx. Of course, Marion has been captured by the leader of the Black Warriors Gang, Machine Gun Willy, and his army of dudes in colorful vests, girls with S&M whips, and genetically enhanced green guys. Willy Mac tells the Lee brothers that they must divulge the secret of Sou-Setsu-Ken if they ever want to see the love of their lives again. The brothers choose to kick some ass instead. The Double Dragons must now travel through city slums, industrial parkways, and lumberyards to reach the lair of Machine Gun Willy, employing their full martial arts technique to defeat the Black Warriors Gang and perhaps even each other to win the affections of Marian.

The 1994 live-action film featured Alyssa Milano as Marian and Scott Wolf and Mark Dacascos as the titular characters. Dacascos now plays the role of "Chairman" in Iron Chef America. Technos Japan, the creators of Double Dragon, had little input in Battletoads & Double Dragon's development. The game's engine and design were taken directly from Rare's Battletoads series but the mash-up did spark renewed interest in the Double Dragon franchise, coinciding with the live-action film and animated show. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Jealous of the attention the trio receive, Chief Programmer Silas Volkmire, strikes a deal with the buxom Dark Queen, who turns out to not just be a villain in the Battletoads game but an actual space conqueror in a parallel universe that can be accessed through the virtual reality technology. When the game testers sneak into Psicone and put the VR helmets on, they are permanently zapped into the parallel universe as Zitz, Rash, and Pimple, the Battletoads. Before being overwhelmed by the Dark Queen's forces that include a cybernetic monster and an obese rat, the Toads are rescued by Professor T. Bird, former lover turned adversary of the Dark Queen.

The Master Builder, the god of order and innovation, gave technology to man and helped him build a great city of stone and metal which they brilliantly name The City. The Trickster, on the other hand, believed in a pure world governed by nature and chaos, so accordingly, he flooded part of The City with zombies while entertaining himself with equally hilarious shenanigans until he could return to his full strength once more. Fifty years after the Trickster disappears, a thief named Garrett tries to pickpocket a member of the Keepers, who inducts him into the order and trains him in the ways of mystical balance. But instead, Garrett falls into the employ of a crazy old man with a treasure fetish who ends up being the Trickster in disguise. Garrett kills the Trickster, then the insane leader of a Builder-worshipping cult, and finally cripples the skin-stealing bogeywoman right before looting all their homes. Feeling satisfied, he decides to take a long vacation, during which The City goes completely to hell because it's a terrible, terrible place. Now having lost his apprentice and also his eye, Garrett must defeat a tyrant, a plague, and Cthulhu by stealing necklaces and clubbing guards -- all standard practice in a city made of ugly metal and filled with exploding frogs.

Additionally, all of Thief III's portraits are members of the IonStorm development team. Thief was originally a medieval fantasy game called Dark Camelot, based on a reimagined Arthurian mythology where Arthur and Merlin were insane despots. However, the original engine handled breaking and entering better than swordfighting, so the team rebuilt it around stealth. Viktoria's voice actress also voices SHODAN from the System Shock series, while Benny the Dumb Guard voices XERXES. The latter's role in Thief was alluded to in Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim, where Harold the Tree shared Benny's accent and Mercer Frey was in charge of the Thieves Guild. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Épisode 188 - LORE -- Thief Development Lore in a Minute!

1 mars 2014

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Octopimp's got the history of the Thief franchise! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Written by Jared Rosen: http://www.youtube.com/user/HotPepperGaming Voiced by Octopimp: http://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Animated by Jeremey Chinshue: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Transcript: In 1990, Blue Sky Productions and Lerner Research, the former specializing in role playing games and the latter in Chuck Yeager-branded flight simulators, merged into Looking Glass Studios to avoid a legal battle with Vectorman developer Blue Sky Software. The company then began work on Dark Camelot, but reworked the idea to focus on breaking and entering when their engine handled stealth better than combat. Thus the Thief series was born. Unfortunately, all of Looking Glass' games were met with more critical praise than financial success, and the studio was shuttered. Most of the team was shuffled into Ion Storm's Austin branch, where they released Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3 on the same day as Blizzard's demo of StarCraft, a game that absolutely crushed them in the market. Their next attempt was John Romero's Daikatana, which enjoyed incredible hype until a print ad ran featuring Romero over the tagline, "John Romero's about to make you his bitch." The resulting negative coverage of the ad, compounded by constant delays and bad gameplay, turned Daikatana into one of the biggest financial failures in the history of the industry, which didn't help when Deus Ex, Thief II, and Thief: Deadly Shadows were once again met with high critical praise and low sales. The final nail in the coffin was very expensive Anachronox which forced Ion Storm to close only a month after the game's release. Publisher Eidos Interactive held on to the Thief IP, where they developed the fourth installment and unwittingly fell into direct competition with the series' original creators and current Dishonored developers Arkane Studios.

Then, their civilizations collapsed. The power that created the Zerahei then summoned a new breed of Seeds to rise from the natural elements of the earth. Each had a crystal on the back of their neck, seemingly associated with energy and health. But as their new civilization formed, the Seeds became more human looking and their crystals shifted to their hands, allowing them to interface with the world around them, which pulses with strange, powerful energies. Yet, there are still more compelling mysteries to uncover. Buried within the ruins of their ancestors' civilizations are the secrets of their makers, tucked away in shrines and artifacts. Forgotten rituals used to gain favor with powerful beings and blueprints to ancient technology await discovery across the world, but will the Seeds learn to harness these powerful tools? Your choices shape the world, but the world itself has its own surprises.

You don't remember who you are or the horrific things you've done, but the woman in the horse mask thinks your psyche may be better off not knowing. Dressed like a russian mobster, the owl hates your presence and doesn't know you. However, the man in the rooster mask, who wears the same letterman jacket you do, knows who you are and sparks your memory to your first encounter. It's April 1989 in Miami, Florida. You're receiving cryptic messages on your answering machine for things like baked goods, babysitting gigs, and dating services, which all send you into a bloodthirsty rage. But like a superhero, you must conceal your identity the best way you know how: anthropomorphism. Each animal mask gives you a special ability and has it's own name so you don't need to feel guilt or responsibility for your actions while wearing it. The blood is on your hands but the blame belongs to Carl, Aubrey, or Tony the Tiger. Now you massacre without rhyme or reason while trying to uncover the mystery behind the phone messages, the masked figures, and the undeniable passion you have for slaughter. Have fun!

The inclusion of animal masks were motivated by Dennis Wedin's haunting childhood memories of Alice in Wonderland and The Wind in the Willows. Jonatan Söderström posted a fix to the buggy, pirated version of Hotline Miami the day after release because the developers didn't want people playing a version that would detract from their enjoyment of the game.

Star Wars also influences the design of the Pilot armor options, while Abrams influences the flow of combat. The Titans originally started as design sketches back when Respawn was trying to figure out what kind of game they wanted to make. Unsatisfied with the finished product, one of the designers took the sketches and built a robot out of wire and plastic, which resulted in the Titans we see today. Many of Titanfall's underlying design choices are inspired by mecha anime like Gundam and Appleseed. The goal was to combine the over-the-top aspects of anime robot fights with the gritty realism of western technology, along with a dash of District 9 thrown in for good measure.

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Octopimp's got the origins of Respawn Entertainment for your viewing pleasure! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Written by Jared Rosen: http://www.youtube.com/user/hotpeppergaming Voiced by Octopimp: http://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Animated by Scott Falco: http://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Transcript: In 2002, Vince Zampella, Grant Collier and Jason West banded together to create Infinity Ward, where they produced a World War 2 shooter franchise with publisher Activision. Because of the size of the company and their lack of liquid capital, Activision bought a large share of the their stock in order for the team to finish work on Call of Duty, which released in 2003 to unprecedented financial success. Though Activision hired on the rest of the Infinity Ward team, brewing tensions between the publisher, Zampella, and West reached a boiling point over the next seven years, and in 2010 Activision fired the pair for what was described as 'breaches of contract and insubordination.' Forty-six of Infinity Ward's senior employees left with them. In April of that year, the pair formed Respawn entertainment and signed most of the 46 exiles to their team, this time partnering with EA to create an IP under the umbrella of their partner program, like Bungie had with Halo. Working with little financial capital and using old school modeling techniques to finish early assets, EA soon realized what the team had been working on and put the full force of their empire behind it, revealing Titanfall at E3 2013 and setting the video game world on fire. Now Zampella, West, and EA stand poised to release one of the definitive multiplayer shooters of the year, while simultaneously crushing the bodies of giant robots as well as the lifeless corpse of a rival shooting franchise they once so dearly loved.

One lesser god, Zebuxoruk, stole knowledge from his fellows and gave it to the many humans, elves, lizards and tiger people of the world, royally pissing off the rest of the pantheon and getting himself locked away in the planes of Justice and Time, respectively, for his trouble. The knowledge, now in the hands of the champions of Norrath, made them powerful and loot-hungry beyond measure. Demigods, dragons, and holy avatars fell under their collective thirst for better gear, along with a powerful lich, a crystal dragon, undiscovered continents, and even more dragons, until they grew so powerful and so obsessed with the majesty of loot that they invaded the realm of time to free Zebuxoruk once and for all (though that was really secondary compared to the loot). The Goddess of Magic Druzzil Ro, in a final gambit to prevent the fallen godling from escaping, sundered and reordered the timeline to imprison him forever -- in turn, causing the universe to split and untold treasures to be revealed. Now it's up to you to raid ancient ruins, kill dragons with your fists, and bring the gods to their knees all for a super sweet hat and a crack at the Goddess herself.

Now in pursuit of the Multiverse, Brainiac has his sights set on Earth, both the center and key to unlocking its secrets. Using the conflict amongst Earth's heroes and villians as a distraction, Brainiac downloaded their powers into exobytes: flea-sized nanorobotics with near infinite data and energy storage. However, Lex Luthor managed to steal Brainiac's exobytes and use them to bestow powers upon a man, Fracture. Now with a new plan to create a force capable of defeating Brainiac, Luthor travels back in time to present-day Earth and disperses millions of exobytes from the JLA Watchtower which endow the ordinary with the powers of heroes and villains of the future. Noticing the atmospheric irregularity, Brainiac sends his harvester ships to abduct these new superbeings and reclaim their powers. Now it's up to you to master your newfound super abilities to prevent the invasion and defeat Brainiac, all the while impressing your mentor, of course. The universe is yours to save -- or conquer.

Cutting off his arm and pulling the sword from his back to chop off his head made it in the final cut by arguing "he's just a robot." DCUO features the very last appearance by Mark Hamill as The Joker. A lot of people think it was Arkham City, but he recorded VO for our fourth DLC Pack, The Last Laugh, well after Arkham City had released. Jim Lee had established a relationship with Sony Online's developers years before they were involved with DCUO because he was a diehard fan of EverQuest. In fact, Jim Lee was a hardcore EverQuest player back in the day -- he was the first on his server to obtain the epic weapon, Fiery Avenger. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1pdr3nh Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- This episode of Lore is sponsored by DC Universe Online.

He continued with New Comics, or what became Adventure Comics, introducing science fiction detective of the future, Jor-L. Newsstands were hesitant to stock the new, unknown material. In debt, Malcolm partnered with printing-plant owner Harry Donenfeld in 1937 to publish his third comic book series, Detective Comics. A year later, Harry sent Malcolm on a cruise to Cuba to brainstorm new ideas, then sued him for nonpayment of printing fees while he was away. Malcolm was forced out and Detective Comics, Inc. bought National Allied at a bankruptcy auction just before Superman's first appearance in Action Comics #1. Superman panels had been thrown together to meet a tight publishing deadline, but became an accidental success with copies flying off the shelves. Therefore editors requested more larger than life superheroes. And thus the star of Detective Comics (Batman) was born, paving way for some of the most legendary heroes and villains of all time.

He counted relentlessly in his head, but slumber yet evaded him. There was a strange "tapping" that he felt behind his pupil. It was steady, frantic, and silent all at once. Flappy tossed and turned in bed -- then he felt it. Under the sheets, something was there... tapping. Then Flappy heard anguished, muted cries as if they were behind a pane of glass. Now he could feel eyes on him. He had to get away, but insomnia left him delirious and Flappy's world was not his own. Green towers sprouted from the ground and sky alike. To maintain his sanity, Flappy did the only thing he knew how: flap. He tried to calm his nerves by counting again, but the tapping in his head still made him jump. Flappy failed a thousand times over to dodge the green towers, but he couldn't stop... he would never stop. Now, the tapping turned to whispers. They taunted him. He listened closer, and he clearly heard it: Have fun. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/Pc2lGU Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

The divine Helix gave man the gifts of life and music, and granted him great wisdom in His benevolence. The usurper god, the vast and terrible Dome, drove his followers to madness in the revelation of their darkest instincts, carving treacherous ledges into the earth and raising islands covered in fat guys to block the path to enlightenment. In time the gods slumbered in Mount Moon, and their prophets fled to the pure, unsullied tall grass and black cities of metal and stone, where they might await their masters' return. Yet, unbeknownst to the followers of Helix and Dome, a third quietly pierced the veil -- the ancient and unknowable Old Amber -- who delivered a prophet of his own constrained by neither good nor evil, anarchy nor democracy, to the bowels of a moldering Power Plant on Route 10. Old Amber finally entered the service of Dragon Tamer Lance, and the trio slumbered, and waited. Now you, all of you, the great gibbering voices of the old world, must return to inhabit the body of a ten year old child and return Lord Helix's dominion to the land, all while resisting the temptations of the dark prophet Flareon and his Lord's will for ultimate destruction. You will be the very best,like no one ever was. His will is eternal. Helix be praised! Have... fun. Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

And off he went, never to be seen again... until 15 years later, he came to you as a ghost, urging you to follow his trail west. So with your family, your savings, and the ghost of Uncle Gus, you journey to the new frontier as leader of the wagon train. But as the months wear on, morale begins to plummet. You stock hundreds of pounds of rodent meat, trade all your valuables for ammunition and candy, and most importantly, never stop to bury your dead - you're dumbfounded. Now Uncle Gus says the rest of the wagon families are plotting to leave you behind, but they don't know what's good for them. To save them from themselves, it's up to you to go hunting six times a day, feed your party rotten meat, ford the river when it's 13 feet deep, and treat wounds by totally ignoring it... because who dies from a broken leg, anyway? But as your Uncle Gus would say, "it's all worth it when you're on The Oregon Trail." --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

For instance, scenery like flowerpots were rendered with the same level of detail as a player character. Square Enix had their European branch come up with names for Eorzea's many races which borrow naming conventions from the French and Swedish languages in case you were wondering about Louisoix Leveilleur and Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn. Your chocobo companion whistles whenever it changes battle stances, but if you tell it to change to Healer, Attacker, Defender, and Free stance in that order, it whistles the classic chocobo theme song. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Clara is here with your Final Fantasy XIV Dev Lore! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Written and voiced by Clara Animated by Jeremey: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Transcript: Square Enix drafted their development dream team to create their next MMORPG: Final Fantasy XIV. They wanted to create a game different from FFXI and producer Hiromichi Tanaka nurtured their creativity by not meddling. The graphics were gorgeous, but the game was buggy, incomplete, and just really frustrating. Negative beta feedback gave the development team second thoughts, but they had the Final Fantasy name and FFXI was becoming the most profitable of the series! So in 2010, they released as scheduled, earning such accolades as Most Disappointing Game of the Year. FFXIV damaged the Final Fantasy brand, prompting Square Enix to formally apologize, and replace a large chunk of the development team. New, unknown producer Naoki Yoshida and his team worked day and night to find a solution. The original team's programming made starting FF14 over the fastest course. They spent two years completely revamping the graphics engine, combat system and interface. In August 2013, when the servers became congested, they extended the beta and added new servers. Messing up twice would destroy Square Enix. The company expenses, resources, and delay of other Square Enix games would all be worth it with the launch of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn-- producing a game worthy of the Final Fantasy name, earning multiple MMO of the Year awards, and making it up to fans.

However, curiosity turned to confusion when these enemies weren't found in-game. It was later discovered that they just had their heads removed in the development process. Dark Souls was supposed to be released on September the 22nd, but some players in Japan managed to get the game early and went online. Unimpressed, the developers sent their immensely powerful characters to invade the worlds of early players, giving them more of that Dark Souls experience (death) There are a number of items and NPC's that exist across all of FROM SOFTWARE's games, and Dark Souls 2 is no different.

This launched a long period of great turmoil known as the Interregnum with the races of the land separated into three factions vying for The Ruby Throne. The Aldmeri Dominion believe the races of men are naive, looking to restore Elven rule. The Daggerfall Covenant want to bring prosperity to their once wealthy region. And the Ebonheart Pact, despite constantly invading and enslaving each other, have banded together to protect their lands. While these factions fought amongst one another, a great arcane explosion erupted in the Imperial City. The Daedra, supernatural beings from the plane of Oblivion, poured into the lands of Tamriel. Led by Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Domination and Enslavement and other really horrible things, Tamriel is now in danger of merging with Oblivion. Fortunately, it has been prophesied in the Elder Scrolls that you will stop the machinations of Molag Bal... but he's already captured you and your soul. Now it's up to you to escape his clutches, stop the merger between realms, lead your faction to rule them all, and you know...get your soul back.

The realistic physics engine of Gridiron! led to a partnership with EA's John Madden Football. Unfortunately, their partnership ended poorly and led to a lawsuit alleging EA stole the physics engine of Gridiron!. The first entry of the Elder Scrolls series, Arena, was originally conceived as a tournament-style gladiator game. However, the developers, inspired by the open-ended campaigns of their weekly Dungeons & Dragons sessions and games like Legends of Valour and Ultima Underworld, abandoned the entire tournament concept and re-designed Arena to become a first-person RPG. Unlike most MMOs, Elder Scrolls Online uses a mega server, which drops all users in one server rather than multiple ones. This system also allows players to find their friends quickly and quest with like-minded gamers while eliminating common issues of overpopulation and laggy servers. --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Their first game was Gridiron! for the Atari and Commodore systems. While the sprites looked like Connect Four discs, Gridiron! was the first of its kind to simulate the physics of real-life sports, which laid the groundwork for EA's John Madden Football. By the 90's, Bethesda had developed a wide array of titles involving Wayne Gretzky, the Terminator, and Where's Waldo. In 1994, they released the first game of what would be their best known series, The Elder Scrolls: Arena, an open-world action RPG that embraced the principle of "being who you want and doing what you want" like no other game before it. Despite modest reviews, the game had enough of a following to garner a sequel, Daggerfall. In 2001, Bethesda Game Studios was established to develop the occasional racing game...but mainly the Elder Scrolls franchise. The world of Tamriel would grow in sophistication of both gameplay and story with each installment, including Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. During this time, Bethesda took over the rights of the Fallout series, solidifying themselves as the premiere developer for unprecedented, open-world gaming from the Capital Wasteland to Oblivion.

But there were those who grew tired of fighting and banded together with Mephisto's daughter Lilith and the angel Inarius who took the Worldstone and used it to create Sanctuary. Angels and demons started hooking up, begetting the crossbred Nephalem who had the potential to become greater than either of their parents which prompted Inarius to declare that they be exterminated. Lilith killed the other angels and demons to prevent Inarius from destroying the Nephalem and was banished to the Void by her lover. Inarius then used the Worldstone to weaken the Nephalem over the generations until they became mere mortals. Human sorcerers eventually made contact with the demon world, alerting their existence to the three prime evils, leading to the Sin War and their eventual exile to Sanctuary. The Archangel Tyrael formed an order of mortals called the Horadrim to contain the three, but the Prime Evils corrupted their soulstone imprisonment. Now, twenty years after the destruction of the Worldstone, Deckard Cain is nearly obliterated when a star crashes into the Tristram Cathedral. As the battle between Heaven and Hell rages on, you must investigate the fallen star while battling evil, looting corpses, and skipping dialogue... so you can loot faster!

Subscribe: http://bit.ly/MoarLore Written by Clara Voiced by BlameTheController: https://www.youtube.com/user/BlameTheController Animated by Jeremey Chinshue: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Transcript: In 1991, fresh UCLA graduates Michael Morhaime, Allen Adham, and Frank Pearce established Silicon & Synapse and began developing ports for other studios. They released their first game, RPM Racing and continued with The Lost Vikings and Rock N' Roll Racing. Despite accolades, the small company was funding paychecks via personal credit cards and the name Silicon & Synapse was constantly misinterpreted. They became Chaos Studios and accepted an offer from Davidson & Associates of Math Blaster fame for funding, distribution, and the development freedom the co-founders had longed for. When the Chaos Studios moniker was already taken, they leafed through the dictionary and chose Blizzard Entertainment before releasing Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. Although only a moderate critical and commercial success, WarCraft brought Blizzard financial stability, allowing it to take a chance on a small studio with a big idea. Condor, in dire financial straits, approached Blizzard with their dream of battling the Lords of Hell and was promptly purchased and renamed Blizzard North. In 1996, Diablo launched to critical acclaim, but it was Battle.net, the first online gaming service built directly into a game, that shook up the industry. With Battle.net, players could simply click a button and be hacking and slashing away with a buddy -- revolutionary in an era when you needed an IP address to connect to anyone. Battle.net quickly became the premier online gaming service, paving the way for Starcraft, World of Warcraft, and now Hearthstone.

Deckard Cain, the only Non-Player Character to appear in each of the first three games, is voiced by Michael Gough who also voiced Raphael in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series and Gopher in Winnie the Pooh. In China, the Ministry of Culture must approve games before they are released.

Taking the name Handsome Jack, he proceeds to enslave Pandora, turn his daughter into a living battery, and murder the population for fun -- until he discovers a second Vault with an alien lava monster inside that will wipe out all life on the planet and allow him unfettered access to the limitless supply of the miracle mineral Eridium found in the soil. A rebellion led by the Vault Hunters who originally killed the tentacle monster rises up to stop him, but they fail to gain any ground against Jack's moon laser and army of mass produced military robots. Branching out from his general routine of evil and crazy, Jack decides to lure more vault hunters to the planet so he can blow up the trains they're on over and over, but six survive, meeting up with the rebel forces and launching a brutal counterattack of their own. Now it's up to you to pick a mentally disturbed killer for hire and take on Pandora's inhospitable wildlife, Handsome Jack's forces, and a mythical space warrior all in the name of profit and not dying horribly. Which you will anyway. A lot. But at least it'll be funny. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Gearbox ended up loving it so much that they kept it in, and gave lead writer Anthony Burch three extra rations of protein paste. One of Jack's most popular lines in the game, "These pretzels suck," was not actually written into the script, Axton was only originally supposed to flirt with female characters, and Tiny Tina's left eye isn't supposed to drift off randomly. The designers literally left all of that in because it was funny. At the time of Borderlands 2's release, it was the third most pre-ordered game from Take-Two interactive in history, beaten only by Grand Theft Auto 4 and San Andreas. It's also 2K's most pre-ordered game ever, beating everything from XCOM: Enemy Unknown to Bass Hunter 64. Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Take-Two would mostly port games made by other companies, ironically becoming a game company like everyone ever was, until acquiring subsidiary developer BMG interactive, which reformed into Rockstar Games. One year later, five members of the now-defunct Rebel Boat Rocker assembled under Randy Pitchford to become the dominant force in porting by taking on Half-Life, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Halo, Counter-Strike, and Brothers in Arms. The resulting company was known as Gearbox Software. The success of these ports eventually led to sci-fi shooter project called Borderlands, which was picked up by 2K and released in 2009 to unprecedented financial success. Gearbox stuck with 2K for the sequel which released in 2012 as one of the only games to ever rival 2K's Grand Theft Auto series in terms of sales - but in their hubris Gearbox decided to pick up Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines, two complementary mistakes that had led to a large round of layoffs only four years prior. Both titles released to a near-universally negative response, with the development for the former pulling resources and time from the latter to create two very, very bad experiences. Despite this, Borderlands continued to make the money back, and now Gearbox has teamed up with Telltale to release the story-driven Tales From The Borderlands, driving forward the kind of success that might make a man forget about Duke Nukem Forever and Colonial Marines.... if only he could.

Épisode 222 - Hearthstone Dev Lore in a Minute!

​​​See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Nick from Continue? is here with your Hearthstone Development Lore! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/LoreInAMinute Written by Jared Rosen: http://www.youtube.com/user/hotpeppergaming Voiced by Nick Murphy from Continue?: http://www.youtube.com/user/continueshow Animated by Jeremey Chinshue: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Transcript: At some point between making the combined GDP of most countries on Earth and deciding the plant explosives in the Real Money Auction House, Activision-Blizzard sat atop it's mighty skull-throne and thought, "We should really get into the casual market." And so it summoned Team 5 to work exclusively on creating a cohesive, accessible experience for both casual and hardcore players to embrace in a way that ruined marriages and occasionally bank accounts. Work began on a prototype for a casual game called Hearthstone, but was briefly derailed when thirteen members of Team 5 were temporarily moved around to shore up other games in development - leaving only two to create pen-and-paper prototypes by themselves and test them on each other. After numerous iterations of physical card and board games, most of which were, by the team's own admission, 'Terrible,' the version we know and love was stumbled upon and Team 5 was reunited along with six additional programmers, bringing the entire group up to 21. Closed beta was announced in August 2013, and card rebalancing and server tweaks drove further development until open beta hit the following January, which saw an instant subscriber base in the millions. Now Hearthstone is adding an adventure mode and event quests, further sealing the fate of card collectors everywhere and cementing Team 5's status as the Seal Team 6 of game development.

Development continued in tabletop iteration until the pair reached the version you see today. Due to the way health integers are recorded for minions, the maximum minion health is 2,147,483,647. Going above this will bring the minion to 1 health or destroy it. Likewise, doing 2,147,483,650 damage to a 1 HP minion will bring its health to the maximum. The Raid Leader's shouts of "Handle It!" and "Hit it very hard!" are references from the 2007 Onyxia wipe video. Blizzard has also added an achievement in WoW for killing Onyxia in under five minutes that references this, called "More DOTS" --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1lGKzVg Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Growing tired of farming beans, battling pets, destroying Orgrimmar and fighting an army of mantis-men, they turn to collectible card battling as a source of light entertainment which turns out to be a huge mistake. In the months that follow, most of Azeroth's civilized society take up the hobby, eventually growing pale and sickly as they devote more and more time to earning 'just one more pack.' Soon Stormwind is hit by a crippling wave of housing foreclosures, while Durotar's gold reserves are drained almost overnight in the wake of a continent-wide Dust addiction. Seizing the opportunity to rise once more, the Scourge forces led by Kel'Thuzad retake Naxxramas and begin an invasion campaign... except they really get into Hearthstone, too. Mustering what remains of their strength, the Horde and Alliance ally once more and march on the corrupted necropolis with an army of card-dueling professional battlers in what will probably be one of the most odorific epics of the world's war-torn history. Now it's up to you to join them, unlock the five wings of Naxxramas, confront Kel'Thuzad and totally earn some sweet purps for your Warlock deck.!

In the technological springtime of this society, a dementia-suffering supercracker named Raymond Kennedy unleashes a virus into the power grid that shuts down the network for 55 million Americans in the Northeast, killing 11 and injuring hundreds. The networks are repaired and now major metropolitan areas are host to supercomputers known as Central Operating Systems that both act as hubs for all incoming and outgoing data, and are protected by small private armies of security personnel. During this time, black hat cracker Aiden Pearce, whose hacking abilities have already disrupted the work of both crime syndicates and shadowy government organizations, loses his niece in an "accident" staged by one of the groups he was compromising -- a casualty in their mission to get rid of Aiden and the information he has that could ruin them. Vowing to take revenge, Aiden turns the supercomputers against his foes as a vigilante anti hero whose only motivation is to destroy his enemies and find out how many bar bouncers have dating site profiles.

Having recently acquired the Driver IP, the team went to work on the newest entry, but realized they weren't making a Driver game at all. They cancelled the game, reshuffled the team, and began anew, resulting in Watch_Dogs. Watch Dogs was conceptualized and launched around a completely from-scratch game engine, and with the help of Russian antivirus firm Kaspersky Lab to keep the feel realistic. As a result, multiple mobile platforms were integrated into development as complementary experiences. Watch_Dogs was eventually unveiled during E3 2012. Unfortunately, the game missed its initial launch date a year later because it 'needed more polish.' It wound up pushed back to early 2014, then again to mid-2014 due to more performance and polish issues until finally settling for May 2014 after going gold. Now, after half a decade in development, Watch_Dogs will finally reach the hands of eager gamers everywhere. Unless those gamers want a replica of Aidan's hat. Then they'll need to live in Australia. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/SMbs2Q Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Hacker Raymond Kennedy is visually based on the famous criminal D.B. Cooper, who hijacked a Boeing 747 in the early 70's, took $200,000 in ransom money and parachuted to safety. He was never caught. Ubisoft Montreal worked with Russian anti-virus firm Kaspersky Lab in order to make the hacking as realistic as possible instead of "sexing" it up unlike a particular Hollywood flick.

So the Mechari showed up and asked the humans to hand over one of their legendary heroes or be destroyed. Decades later, a brand-new human-Eldan hybrid, Dominus the Half-Blood, arrived on Cassus, bringing Eldan technology and promises of galactic domination. And thus, the Dominion was born. Through the centuries, this intergalactic empire expanded its reach, absorbing races such as the bloodthirsty Draken and the unpredictable Chua. Even after the Eldan mysteriously disappeared 1000 years ago, the Dominion remained powerful. As the empire's influence percolated throughout space, others weren't as willing to bow down. The stone-skinned Granok managed to fight off the Dominion. Soon after, a rag-tag group of humans from Cassus rebelled and broke away. They were eventually joined by the Mordesh, cursed with an incurable disease and quarantined by the Dominion, and the peaceful Aurin, attacked by the empire for aiding the human rebels. These races formed the Exiles, who then banded together to oppose their common foe. When the Exiles discovered the legendary Eldan planet Nexus, they quickly set out, seeing the world as their last chance for a new home. However, the Dominion soon arrived, setting the stage for an all-out war. You now join either side of the battle to stake your claim to Nexus and ultimately uncover the mystery behind the Eldan's disappearance.

The Luminai are reclusive, each belonging to one of the Great Houses and embarking on Game of Thrones-style political intrigue and backstabbing. WildStar devs were assigned to every realm to kick off an event that concluded the open beta. Festivities included spawning raid bosses and super tornadoes in populated town centers, but they did provide a chatbox code to max out player characters so they could stand a chance... except it sent them to YouTube for a Rickroll instead. The crafting system in WildStar allows players to make armor and household items, which provides them with additional XP. Thus far, the most complex fan-created item has been a wooden piano, requiring 758 different objects. --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Headed by Kevin Beardslee, Tim Cain and Jeremy Gaffney, they recruited prominent talent from games such as Metroid Prime, Fallout, and Half-Life 2. In 2007, Carbine Studios was officially announced as part of NCSOFT. As they went public, Carbine Studios began working on their top-secret project, Vulcan mind melding together their wealth of experience to establish three key elements of a successful MMORPG: a unique art style, an evocative and immersive world with a rich lore, and innovating the genre by allowing players to play how they want to play via the path system. Through research, AKA going up to someone and asking them what they like, the studio identified four distinct play styles: the explorer, the scientist, the jerk who ganks low-level newbs, and the social person who is still really into Second Life. In 2011, Wildstar was announced to much fanfare, featuring cartoonishly fun graphics, skill-based combat, and most importantly, player housing so you can invite your friends over without having to see them in real-life.

The two established Supergiant Games and set up their new office in San Jose, California in the living room of Amir's Dad's house. Despite having been advised not to start a company with friends, they formed a staff of seven by calling up old roommates and childhood pals including New York-based composer Darren Korb. Their first game was self-funded, so both the company's future and their bank accounts depended upon the reception of Bastion. In 2011, Bastion was distributed by Warner Brothers and earned awards including Best Downloadable Game, and Best Debut Award for Supergiant Games. In response to fan demand, Supergiant Games also released a full award-winning soundtrack album. With the success of Bastion, Supergiant Games moved out of the living room into an office in San Francisco, expanded their staff to twelve, and delighted fans by setting their sights on a new project: Transistor.

Written by Clara Voiced by Chad: http://www.youtube.com/user/TajesMahoney https://twitter.com/QuandtumTheory Animated by Corax: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa_Mp1VOHiZLwmuQQPbdT4g Transcript: In the beginning, mankind worshipped and loved the gods of their respective pantheons, ignorant of the power that their devotion gave. As time passed, mankind began to share ideas and beliefs as they traversed the globe, unknowingly undermining the gods' control over their own realms. Wars for the remaining power erupted within the pantheons, causing earthquakes, floods, and other disasters that seemed to signal the End of Times for the human world. In terror, mankind flocked to their gods, giving them the power the gods desired. As civilization continued to develop, some became suspicious that the gods were to blame for the destruction of their world. An uprising was sparked against Olympus, Valhalla, and all the other pantheons. The gods were split in their methods of dealing with the human uprising and thus divided into two factions: the Old Order and the Elysian Uprising. The gods of the Order believe fear, domination, and destruction should be used to force human devotion while those in the Elysians believe their power should come from mankind's love and choice to worship. Now as a Half-God, descendant of both god and mankind, you must decide to fight for either the Order or the Elysians and battle by summoning the form and powers of the gods.

Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute Written by Clara Voiced by Yogscast Brent: https://www.youtube.com/user/deadworkersparty Animated by Jeremey: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Transcript: In high school, Erez Goren began developing his own games for the Atari 2600. After college and the crash of the video game industry in 1985, he co-founded Radiant Systems and BlueCube Software, which gained enough financial success to support the founding Hi-Rez Studios with Todd Harris in 2005. Hi-Rez began developing competitive online action games including Global Agenda and Tribes: Ascend. In December of 2010, a small team started prototyping a new PvP game mode for Global Agenda before realizing it could be its own game. After only a month in production, the decision was made to switch the theme from sci-fi Global Agenda to Mythology and ancient gods & goddesses. Smite was first playable in public at PAX Prime 2011 with a grand total of nine playable gods and an NPC kraken to fight in the middle of the jungle, but this was only the beginning. After nearly two years in Beta, Hi-Rez Studios officially released free-to-play SMITE in March 2014 with a $200,000 e-sports tournament watched online by 400,000 people. Finally the glorious deities of various pantheons were matched on the battleground of the gods.

Épisode 237 - LORE -- Skullgirls Lore in a Minute!

1 juillet 2014

​​​Skullgirls' very own Kira Buckland is here with your Skullgirls Lore! http://bit.ly/MoarLore Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute Written by Jared Rosen: http://www.youtube.com/user/hotpeppergaming Voiced by Kira Buckland: arachnidsGrip.co.vu Animated by Nevarky: http://www.youtube.com/user/nevarky Transcript: When the world was still in its infancy, a trinity of Euclidean horrors masquerading as beautiful goddesses looked upon it and saw that man was violent and impure. Thus the trio created an artifact known as the Skull Heart, built to grant any wish a person might desire so long as they were pure of heart. Of course if they weren't pure of heart the object would corrupt the wish and turn their body into a psychic monster, but that was kind of the point. The object was then left on earth where countless generations of women sought it out -- bringing death and destruction everywhere they went. In the contemporary times, most of the planet falls under the rule of the Canopy Kingdom, which is controlled in turn by the Renoir royal family and the Medici mafia. When Double, a shapeshifting monster nun who works for the trinity, seeds the Skull Heart with a group of opera singers, the singers are brutally murdered and the heart eventually moves into the possession of a war orphan, who begins wiping out the Medicis to a point where other girls augmented by ancient transforming parasites figure out what's going on and come looking for her. Now it's up to you to pick a girl (or a giant tuba man), fight your way to the lair of the Skull Heart, and defeat the Skullgirl's three super-cheap forms -- claiming the Heart for yourself in what definitely probably will not backfire ever.

The clone character Fukua was originally released as an April Fools' parody of the definitely not cloned Street Fighter character Decapre. The fans loved her and Fukua was ultimately kept in the game. When Sony pulled the original Skullgirls from the marketplace, many fans weren't able to get vouchers for the new version.

This would remain a pipe dream until Ahad met Alex 'Z' Zaimont, a tournament fighting game player who had been coincidentally coding a custom engine since 1999. The two partnered in 2008 on what would later become known as Skullgirls. By 2010 the team had been picked up by Reverge Labs and Autumn Games, leading to a successful release the same year and a deal with Konami to publish on other platforms -- until Autumn Games was hit by a series of lawsuits related to Def Jam Rapstar, leading to the entire Skullgirls team getting laid off. Reforming under Lab Zero games and obtaining funding through a hugely successful Indiegogo campaign, Skullgirls was revitalized with new characters, new palettes, new soundtracks, and a whole new series of patches -- patches which weren't coming out on time because Konami was dragging its feet. The partnership between Autumn and Konami was officially terminated in 2013, but in a final gotcha! moment from beyond the grave, Konami had console versions of Skullgirls pulled from the XBLA and PSN marketplaces, forcing Lab Zero to relaunch the title as Skullgirls Encore. Fortunately the game survived, and now we all get to beat each other up as ninja nurses and cartoon robots without the evil influence of a major publisher. --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

They've tried occult science, resurrecting ancient German rulers, undead armies, and multiple death blimps. Which is a thing. But at every turn US Army Captain and hero BJ Blazkowicz interferes and ruins their day. For America. During the many ridiculous conflicts, the head of the SS "Special Projects Division", Wilhem "Deathshead" Strasse makes a name for himself by creating super-weapons powered by mysterious gems, opening portals into strange dimensions and crafting multiple models of robo-Nazis. Whenever Blaskowicz rears his perfectly chiseled head and chin to foil Strasse's plans, Deathshead stays alive by always keeping an escape rocket nearby. And he makes sure to kill the occasional friend or love interest on his way out. Three years later and Blaskowicz's team strikes at a research facility they believe Deathshead to be using. During the battle BJ is critically injured and lost at sea before being rescued by a kind fisherman. Sent to a Polish psychiatric care facility, Blaskowicz enters a coma for FOURTEEN YEARS before being awoken by the smell of fresh Nazi blood. He finds himself in 1960 where the Germans won the war and now dominate the world because you know it has to be a videogame. Have fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

In the beginning of Chapter 5 of The New Order, you'll find a cot that will transport you into a 'nightmare,' in which BJ relives the first level of Wolfenstein 3D complete with retro graphics but still retaining the game's modern mechanics. Wolfenstein 3D has a giant pushwall maze consisting of 181 identical rooms in which only one path will lead you to a sign that says "Call Apogee and say Aardwolf." The first player to do this would have won all Apogee games for life, but level editors and cheats forced the developers to abandon the contest. --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Written by Aaron Waltke Voiced by Nick from Continue?: http://www.youtube.com/user/ContinueShow Animated by Jeremey: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Transcript: In 1990, four employees of a software publishing service called Softdisk began spending their evenings working on their own games. They were designer Tom Hall, artist Adrian Carmack, programmer John Carmack, and gaming's Fabio, John Romero. After Romero discovered a way to have quick side-scrolling graphics on the PC, the four friends created a remake of Super Mario Bros 3 for the computer on "borrowed" company machines which Nintendo obviously dismissed. Around this time Romero starting receiving fan letters from multiple people that he quickly realized were actually all from the same address. Upon investigation Romero discovered the sole author to be Scott Miller of 3D realms. Teaming up with Miller, the four members began work on an original side-scroller called Commander Keen, again using company equipment at a lake house in Shreveport, Louisiana which must've been real beautiful and romantic. Once the game released, Softdisk finally realized where their computers had been going and legal drama ensued. Finally an agreement was made for the team to provide a new title to Softdisk every two months for a period of time. In early 1991, Id Software was officially formed. Id Software went on to release huge games like Doom and Wolfenstein and John Romero continues his quest to become a real-life angel to this day. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

A contractor working at the Asylum known only as the Whistleblower sends an email to investigative journalist Miles Upshur detailing the abuse of the patients at the Asylum. Miles arrives only to find the Asylum seemingly abandoned. Breaking in with only a video camera and hopefully an empty bladder, Miles finds the remains of a massacred Swat team. A dying Swat officer warns Miles to RUN as the variants, the asylum's incredibly jacked mental patients, are running wild. Before Miles can heed can figure that out, he's assaulted by Chris Walker, the Andre the Giant of mental patients and thrown deeper into the Asylum. Miles is awakened by father Martin Archimbauld, a patient turned insane preacher, who declares that god has sent Miles to bear witness to the cult.

Chris Walker, the hulking variant chasing Miles for most of the game maybe Outlast's most misunderstood character. If you can find his psychological profile in the Administration Block you'll find out the poor guy's lack of a nose or lips is because he was so anxious he ripped them off.

The developers set out to create the ultimate horror game by drawing inspiration from the surreal short film shot in nightvision, "Rubber Johnny", and Amnesia which they loved for what it didn't have: combat. Development was rocky, but Red Barrels eventually secured funding from an angel investment and went to the Canada Media Fund, a grant from the Canadian government to fund projects. Though after missing the first deadline and waiting half a year to apply again they had to raise three hundred thousand dollars themselves to get the rest funded by the CMF. With funding in place, the tiny 10-man team went to work on Outlast. They made a conscious choice to stay away from the more action driven style that horror games were trending towards. Outlast was originally demoed at E3 and PAX East to much critical acclaim. The game was so scary that it made people faint and knock out the walls at their booth....

The End. That is, until an enigmatic and malevolent force called the Adversary marched with his army to conquer the Homelands, starting with the Emerald Kingdom. Everyone ignored it until they too fell to the Hated One. Those lucky to survive were forced to flee from the Homelands to a place even the Adversary doesn’t dare venture; New York City. These Fables, having lost their lands and fortunes, put their differences aside to survive in the mundane world. The General Amnesty was established to forgive past grievances of the Fables and the two locations of Fabletown were founded by the 17th Century - one for those who could look human and one for the freaks who can’t afford glamour, an enchantment that masks their true appearance. Now living in the mundane world for hundreds of years, Fabletown consists of a hardened Snow White, a sex-crazed Pinocchio, and you, the reformed Big Bad Wolf aka Bigby aka the Sheriff. Luckily, murders of Fables are rare...until now. Now it’s up to you to crack the case, all the while keeping the secret of the Fables from the rest of the world.

The creator of Fables, Bill Willingham, acted as a consultant for The Wolf Among Us though he did state that he felt like he was stealing money from Telltale since they’ve done such a great job with the adaptation. However, he did have to remind Telltale that Bigby can’t drive nor is he allowed on the Farm. Fast Facts! In the world of Fables, there’s a theory that characters whose fairy tales are more popular are also more physically durable. Hence, this may explain why Bigby can take much more punishment compared to say… Flycatcher. Fast Facts! The developers of Telltale Games have held numerous in-house experiments to push the level of immersion players could have within the story. Prototypes included players making choices via speech recognition and text input, but they were considered to be too “out there”. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

That’s when his mom gave him the public domain talk, meaning after a standard period of time…blah, blah, blah...basically, characters like Snow White and Potato Face Blindman can be copied and used by anyone! Years later, after a brief stint of living in his van down by the river and working on comic series such as Coventry and Pantheon, Willingham pitched the idea of Fables to DC/Vertigo in 2001. Taking place in New York and utilizing characters from well-known fairy tales living in a secret community, Fables depicts some of western culture’s most beloved and feared childhood characters as hard-boiled detectives, womanizers, and...well, the pigs are still pigs. The first volume of Fables, Legends of Exile, became a smash hit, helping usher in the resurgence of fairy tales in the new millenia. Its success has led to over 140 issues of the comic and spawned numerous failed TV productions, a film deal, and the TellTale videogame prequel, The Wolf Among Us.

As the Aquatos took in the cheering crowd after their performance, a shadowy figure from the audience handed Raz a pamphlet for Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp. Raz became engulfed in the pamphlet and memorized Coach Oleander’s written words by heart. Raz knew this haven that turned psychics from circus freak misfits into the heroes of True Psychic Tales was where he belonged. This would become the key to fulfilling his life’s dream of becoming an international psychic secret agent: a Psychonaut. However, Raz’s father forbade the use of his psychic abilities, took the pamphlet and destroyed it. Despite his father's wishes, Raz ran away from the circus to break into the summer camp that is maybe, probably an elite government training facility. Now you must save your fellow campers, sort emotional baggage, kick some astral projections, and become a Psychonaut before your father comes to take you home.

He began by game testing before moving into the co-writing, programming and design of The Secret of Monkey Island. But when the idea for the Full Throttle protagonist to have an interactive peyote-induced hallucination could never be approved by the family-oriented LucasArts, Tim Schafer stashed it away for when he would eventually depart Lucasarts years later. In 2000, Schafer left to form Double Fine, taking colleagues from Grim Fandango, the name “Raz” from a LucasArts animator, and the animator himself. Together, they began work on what would become Psychonauts. With Microsoft backing out of its publishing agreement, Double Fine signed with Majesco and released Psychonauts in 2005 to a handful of “Best Game No One Played” awards. Psychonauts was a commercial failure, but was released as one the of first Xbox Originals for the 360’s Xbox Live Marketplace in 2007, and sold more than ever before with Steam and within the first few hours of release of the Humble Indie Bundle 5 in 2012. Psychonauts has since gained a cult following and Notch’s financial backing for a sequel… until he found out it was going to cost him $18 million dollars.

My facts are delicious. Psychonauts was originally about an ostrich suffering from a multiple personality disorder. According to Tim Schafer, the bird’s powers would come from his mental imbalance and the control scheme revolved around one stick moving the character and the other just for pecking. Fast Facts! In mind of peppy go-go girl Milla, you can find a playroom that she discourages you from entering. In it, there’s a surprisingly dark memory vault that reveals Milla used to work in an orphanage that caught on fire and she was unable to save any of the children. If you listen closely, you can hear the children cry out “why did you let us die?” Fast Facts! Schafer’s addiction to the social media site Friendster was preventing him from getting any work done during the early development cycle of Psychonauts. But instead of kicking his addiction, he created Friendster profiles for all of the Psychonauts characters as a way to flesh out their bios, develop their dialogue, and introduce them to his team. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

As the only habitable rock light years in any direction, control for the planet naturally evolves into an all out war between three Empires: the Terran Republic, New Conglomerate, and Vanu Sovereignty. The Terran Republic are hardline traditionalists wanting the best for all Auraxians, but like all self-appointed authority figures, they intend to rule with an iron fist. With the promise to preserve law and order, they strive to protect the colonial citizens from the many dangers lurking on Auraxis, namely their detractors, the New Conglomerate. The New Conglomerate is comprised of dissidents to the throne, banded together in their universal hatred of the Terran Republic’s stranglehold over Auraxis. Led by outcasts, industry titans, pirates, and former military leaders, this ragtag group of rebels plot to overthrow their false leaders and are willing to do whatever it takes. And to make things even more complicated, a group of extremely advanced alien-worshipping pioneers are also vying for total control of Auraxis. Believing that only through technology can humankind transcend into its next state of existence, their only goal is to uncover ancient artifacts scattered all over Auraxis, which lends itself to exterminating anybody and anything that stands in their way.

Players were provided a survey and the game was confirmed as PlanetSide Next, before eventually being renamed to PlanetSide 2. Right on target!

The easter egg had to go in favor of optimizing the game and besides, BFRs are OP. You betcha! PlanetSide Next was never intended to be a sequel to the original -- the developers considered it a polishing effort, but because the game engine was so limited in what they wanted to do, they decided to completely re-imagine the game with both new art and a new engine, resulting in PlanetSide 2.

To separate these realms the Maker put a barrier called The Veil in between them, but unbeknownst to him, those from the Fade could still peer into Thedas, and they did so with jealousy. Corrupting whispers crossed over the veil, compelling a group of Magister Lords to enter the Golden City in the Fade, only to return as tainted creatures. The Magisters, now called Darkspawn, located the Old God Dumat and corrupted him into an Archdemon, triggering the First Blight, a terrible war. This conflict ended only when a group of warriors known as the Grey Wardens came forward to destroy Dumat and push the darkspawn back into the underground highways underneath Ferelden. The Grey Wardens succeeded in keeping the darkspawn at bay for three more blights by infusing themselves with darkspawn blood, which allows them to kill the seemingly immortal Archdemons. But now with the revival of Urthemiel, the fifth dragon god (also somehow The Dragon of Beauty), the Darkspawn are now primed to wipe Ferelden off the map.

Gameplay isn’t the only epic sized part of Dragon Age Origins; if you encounter every line of dialogue in the game you will have read over 790,000 words! Comparatively, the longest Game of Thrones novel clocks in at little over 400,000 words. Fast Facts! BioWare installed a developer achievement system during Origins’ development and by the end of production, over 12,000 achievements were awarded. The Bioware president himself, Ray Muzyka, crashed the game 35 times, filed 311 bugs, and obtained 134 achievements. Fast Facts! If you collect the Load Limit Reached codex entry you will be treated to a delightful easter egg about a dwarf named Shepard who has to endure a notoriously long elevator ride -- a nod to the first Mass Effect and its cumbersome loading screen. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1vn6ytG Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

A vicious darkspawn attack leaves Lothering in ruins, forcing the Hawke clan to seek safe passage to Kirkwall. But Kirkwall itself is not as peaceful and safe as it seems. The ruling faction of Kirkwall, the Templar Order, has become excessively brutal and corrupt in their governing style. This obviously does not sit well with the citizens of Kirkwall, especially the mage population who the Templars seek to control. After paying off family debts and finally being allowed into the city, Hawke takes on various odd jobs until happening across a massive pile of treasure in the Deep Roads, but Hawke’s fortunes don’t last for long. Relations with a foreign military force known as the Qunari reach the boiling point and Hawke is catapulted into the middle of Kirkwall politics. Now Hawke must deal with the hostile Qunari, manage the increasingly volatile relationship between the Mages and Templars, and handle the fragile political climate of Kirkwall without destroying the entire city. But that sure beats having to slay an all-powerful Archdemon, am I right?

When Sam "Dogeyes" Lin introduced Wei's older sister Mimi to drugs, she became an addict spiraling into the criminal world of abusive triad members. With Mimi’s addiction allegedly brought on by the underhanded motives of the Sun On Yee, their single mother relocated the family to the U.S. when Wei was 10. In San Francisco, Wei’s aggressiveness was overlooked due to high marks in school and eventually, the police academy. With his understanding of Asian gangs, and a lack of other qualified Cantonese speaking officers, Wei began his SFPD undercover work among the Tong, the U.S.-based Chinese society with criminal ties to Hong Kong triads. In 2010, Mimi suffered a fatal overdose, leading to Wei’s mother’s suicide. In Hong Kong, after their last undercover op went south, Superintendent Pendrew requested Wei’s expertise. The Sun On Yee is led by Chairman “Uncle” Po and made up of multiple gangs, each led by a “red pole” or lieutenant. Despite being childhood BFF’s, Dogeyes’ Jade Gang is moving in on fellow red pole Winston Chu’s Water Street Gang territory. Now you must return to Hong Kong to infiltrate the triad responsible for the death of your family, survive the civil war and the rival 18k, and prove where your true loyalties lie.

The veteran team of 10 began meeting with Activision, who sought a new franchise to re-enter the open world genre. Inspired by old Hong Kong cinema, the UFG team began work on an edgy game revolving around the HKPD. Meanwhile, Treyarch was developing Black Lotus, another title for Activision with an Asian female assassin lead. Activision decided that UFG should absorb Black Lotus since two Asian titles would be redundant, cut the female protagonist because they didn’t think it would sell, and decided the game would become part of the True Crime Franchise. Reluctantly, UFG agreed to call their game a “reboot” of True Crime. Then, after four years of development, a message came from the higher ups at Activision: Crime: Hong Kong was cancelled. UFG owned the open world engine, but the characters and missions were Activision property. United Front was devastated, but unwilling to give up. They approached Square Enix and after mountains of paperwork between the three companies, Square bought the publishing rights apart from the True Crime franchise. The game was retitled “Sleeping Dogs” and would be the standalone title UFG always envisioned.

The Traveler was full of new technology, allowing humanity to terraform new planets, bestow new abilities, extend the average lifespan three-fold, and expand into previously unknown parts of the galaxy. The Traveler was PRETTY great. That is until something known as The Darkness came. Something ancient, evil, and not a fan of giant floating space spheres. A battle across the system took place, including what must've been a fight between a gigantic bowling ball and a dark cloud. As most of humanity was wiped out, history is vague and doesn't say what exactly transpired other than that The Traveler made a last stand at Earth and sacrificed itself to defeat the threat. In its final throes, The Traveler left behind a small army of Ghosts, tiny hovering AI constructs, that might seem familiar to you. Now the Traveler floats dormant above The City, one of the last posts of civilization in the system, worrying people constantly that it may fall and crush everybody. Now certain citizens find themselves super-powered by the latent gifts of The Traveler. These Guardians now keep order for humanity, defend us from alien threats, and guide the human race towards rebuilding itself into the great power that it once was. Also, there are alien wizards that live on The Moon, so watch out for that. Have Fun! Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

The titles were all for Macintosh computers and had moderate sales until they created the first person adventure game Pathways Into Darkness which enjoyed commercial and critical success, allowing them to open their first office in Chicago. The studio moved on to bigger games, starting the shooter franchise Marathon which introduced the mechanic of rocket-jumping, the strategy series Myth, and Playstation 2 action-shooter hybrid Oni. Throughout this, Bungie developed games simultaneously for Mac and PC. When Bungie first announced Halo: Combat Evolved, it was at the 1999 Macworld Expo and introduced by Steve Jobs himself. The next year after E3, Microsoft decided they didn't like sharing and announced their purchase of Bungie, setting Halo as an exclusive for the Xbox, which arguably saved the console in its early days. Halo went on to be the powerhouse franchise it still is today and Bungie developed numerous sequels up until 2010's Halo Reach when Bungie split off to become independent and make new, fresher games that are still about powerful space warriors and an intergalactic menace.

Young Ryo was a talented pupil of his family’s kung-fu infused style, earning the strange moniker “Suede-headed Ryo” by precocious old lady, Setsu Abe. Ryo also began falling in loooove, but was teased and got into a schoolyard fight. He vowed to never be in love again, choosing to embark on a series of frustratingly platonic relationships. On Ryo’s 18th birthday, Iwao’s dojo was paid a visit by Lan Di, a high-ranking official of the Chi You Men, a dangerous Chinese cartel. When Lan Di ordered Iwao to reveal the whereabouts of a mysterious mirror, the dojo master refused and was soundly defeated in battle. Ryo attempted to intervene to no avail. Lan Di threatened to kill his son, forcing Iwao to divulge the mirror’s location. Ryo’s life was spared but not his father’s as Lan Di delivered the killing blow. Now, you must exact revenge for your father’s death by dropping out of school and finding any information on the Chi You Men.

There have even been theories that Ryo is Akira and Shenmue is a prequel to the Virtua Fighter storyline. Ryo is featured as a playable character in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, riding his trademark motorcycle from Shenmue. When Ryo executes his “all-star move”, the motorcycle transforms into an unstoppable forklift. As of 2014, lead designer of Shenmue, Yu Hazuki, has continued to research ways to revive the long-dormant franchise, including attempts to develop a Shenmue MMO in the mid 2000’s and looking into crowd-sourced funding for Shenmue III via KickStarter. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1qhR5bD Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

The Saturn was dead by 1998, but Suzuki’s team continued working to fulfill their promise of rocking the gaming world for the upcoming Dreamcast console. Under the alias Berkeley, the project development was estimated at a then record $70 million dollars. When footage was released with Virtua Fighter 3tb, the term F.R.E.E., Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment, was coined, referencing the game’s non-linear storytelling and emphasis on player choices. Project Berkeley soon officially became Shenmue, an open-world game featuring ground-breaking developments only seen in movies at the time. There were unique clay models and voices for all characters, a score performed by an orchestra, and extensive use of quicktime events to create a cinematic experience for the player. Released in 1999, the game was lauded for its high production values that were way ahead of its time, which led to...dismal sales with complaints that the game was too slow and self-indulgent. Despite poor numbers, the sequel, Shenmue II, was released for the Dreamcast and XBox in 2001. And while the entire story of the franchise has been written, the development of Shenmue III has been halted at least twice and may never be finished. Would you like a game of Lucky Hit?

Sheol is currently sealed away but a prophecy was made that one day it would reopen and the Dharkwave, a race of demonic beings would invade the other planes. This foreboding prophecy was passed down to the Keepers of the Code who received this warning from The Oracles. To make matters even more dire, the Rune of Darkstone, the only key to open the passage into Sheol has gone missing. That's usually something you don't want to lose. With nothing else to do but prepare, the Keepers formed the Army of Light and the Arena of Strife as a training ground to find the heroes who can save them from the Dharkwave. The realm of Strife, now essentially a giant galactic arena for people more powerful and important than you, hosts numerous trials and two teams to divide the combatants: Team Glory and Team Valor. The Trials pull forth combatants from all the realms, each with their own reasons for competing.

It wasn't until the team started working on the ping system that they had the idea for Moxie to have his own personal comic book narrator so that he could communicate with the other, non-cat players. The beak-masked archer Rook, besides being essentially the Batman of the Strife universe, is also a friend to birds. So much so that if you enter the graveyard part of the arena the birds there will not be scared of him as they are for other heroes. If you dig around in the updater files you will find that there is actually a "long cat" loading bar screen available.

Their first project was a game called "Savage: The Battle for Newerth". It was an interesting hybrid game that was completely online and mixed aspects of the RTS and FPS genres and was released in 2003. That game went freeware to 2006 and has been turned by its community into multiple other games. In 2008 they created the sequel, titled Savage 2: A Tortured Soul. S2 Games independently produced and distributed the game which centered around two teams centered in a large arena, trying to destroy each other's command center. These two games, referencing the world of Newerth, culminated in S2's biggest title Heroes of Newerth, which was derived from the WC3 mod Defense of the Ancients, otherwise known as DotA. HoN was released in the summer of 2010 and carried over the core ideas with a graphical upgrade and design improvements. The developers originally released Heroes of Newerth as a paid title, but went free-to-play roughly a year later, setting more of the standard that the MOBA-genre uses today. Now based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, S2 Games is developing their next entry into the genre, a second generation moba dubbed Strife.

Of those heroes, none were more legendary than Shovel Knight and Shield Knight. The two traveled and battled together across the land until their journey took them to The Tower of Fate. It was in that dreaded tower that the duo fell under the power of a cursed amulet and blacked out. When Shovel Knight finally awoke the Tower had been sealed and Shield Knight had vanished leaving nothing behind but her helmet. Overcome with grief, Shovel Knight gave up adventuring and retired to a simple life. During his absence, a dark power arose, The Enchantress. She quickly assembled a powerful army of knights known as The Order With No Quarter that took over the land. On top of this The Tower of Fate has mysteriously become unsealed. With the small hope that he may rescue Shield Knight (and also put this Enchantress and her knights down along the way), Shovel Knight picks up his weapon for one more adventure. Have fun!

The wielding combatant Baz is actually a fantasy version of Zubaz, a ridiculous failed Street Fighter concept character that has been celebrated by Two Best Friends Play and has appeared in Divekick as well. Funded by Kickstarter, Shovel Knight had several interesting reward tiers. Those that donated $1000 were given the studio title Director For A Day.

Yacht Club's first (and so far only) title is the wildly successful Kickstarter title Shovel Knight which drew inspiration from retro titles such as Castlevania, Mega Man, and Ducktales (which was coincidentally remade by their former studio). Shovel Knight launched on the crowd-funding site in March 2013, more than quadrupling its goal of $75,000 a month later. Surprisingly breaking crowdfunding tradition, this Kickstarted game would actually be finished. To market their debut project, the studio smartly reached out to gaming personalities such as Penny Arcade, Two Best Friends Play, and The Game Grumps, who all promoted the project with glowing recommendations. Thanks to the extensive crowdfunding, Yacht Club has been able to continually expand the scope of their project, adding in features like a four-player battle mode, a gender-swap story mode, and story campaigns for boss characters. No word yet if the studio actually owns a yacht.

Ross: http://www.youtube.com/user/vghangover https://twitter.com/metaly Transcript: There exists a world very much like our Earth known as the World of Trophies where without warning statues of heroes from different worlds come to life and battle one another. The supreme ruler of this world is Master Hand, a sentient, floating Hamburger Helper mascot that is probably also be a manifestation of some dumb gloved eight-year-old in our human dimension. These assorted sentient action figures called "Smashers" know nothing but fighting, though they seem able to retain some memories of allegiances and rivalries with fellow Smashers. To become a statue again is death. The coldest death of all. The Smashers are brought into existence for countless quick skirmishes and kerfuffles but there are times when the The World of Trophies is in danger such as when the Master Hand went mad, when the Bowser trophy was corrupted and transformed into the terrifying Giga Bowser, or when the dark form known as Tabu tried to bring the World into his Subspace Dimension. With every threat that arises, a large roster of heroes and villains will rise to the occasion...Except for Mewtwo. Mewtwo is never coming back. Have fun!

The title originally used simple base characters and was called "Dragon King: The Fighting Game". Sakurai then enlisted the help of a fellow co-worker, Satoru Iwata, the future president of Nintendo. Together they worked on Dragon King -- Sakurai handled the design, modeling, and movement while Iwata took on the programming. But they knew that fighting games didn’t sell well, so they incorporated Nintendo characters to help make the game original, all without official sanction from Nintendo. When the game was finally playable, the prototype was shown to their bosses with Mario, Donkey Kong, Samus, and Fox as playable characters, and the game was green lit for production with the new title, Smash Bros. Smash Bros was not expected to do well financially and was planned to be released only in Japan with little marketing. It wasn't until after the game was a huge commercial success that it saw a worldwide release. Smash Bros has gone on to release three sequels, developed across multiple studios and pioneering revolutionary practices such as teasing development photos in weekly updates and creating a fighting mechanic known as "tripping.” Have fun! --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1sKoegW Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Which is not very surprising. Even less surprising is that in its earliest years there was treachery. Rivellon's first emperor Sigurd was murdered by his own children and a giant fight for power commenced. Rivellon put on its War Pants and hosted an epic battle with giant mechs and battle blimps and dragons… with rocket packs. The ensuing battles were so destructive and awesome that all records and technology was lost, becoming nothing more than a really cool tale. As the dust cleared, the son of Sigurd, a Dragon Knight, stood tall. Backed by a powerful wizard named Maxos, the two were the best of friends who also simultaneously ran an enchanted kingdom. Centuries passed as the kingdom fell into disarray, decadence, and a lot of dragon breeding. As society progresses, there are several different types of magic in the world known. One of which is "sourcery". Yes, it’s spelled like that. Due to its vile reputation and terrible name, sourcery is outlawed in Rivellon. As one of two Source Hunters, government officials who enforce magic regulations, you head to the coastal city of Cyseal to investigate the murder of a politician.

The only problem is that anyone who drinks overcharges mutates into a horrific murderous monster. These mutants known collectively as the OD'd have caused the collapse of Sunset City and presumably the entire world as they search to satisfy their unquenchable thirst for Overcharge. In typical corporate fashion Fizzco has decided to send murder-robots to kill anybody still alive instead of, well, recalling their drink. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the remaining humans can’t get along and have split into warring factions that range from a tribe of adventure scouts who have adapted samurai codes to a group of live action role players who seriously think LARPing is going to save them from bloodthirsty mutants. Now, as a former low-level Fizzco employee, you must team up with other survivors who may or may not kill you, and escape the neon-coated apocalypse with weapons like roman candle guns and teddybear RPGs.

OverCharge Delirium XT was originally called OverDrive, but an actual energy drink already owns the name, so it had to be changed. Then, Insomniac actually manufactured and gave out cans of OverCharge at E3 2014, though it didn’t turn any attendees into bloodthirsty mutants. Sunset Overdrive was envisioned as a realistic survival game not unlike Day-Z. But after an in-house game jam produced a prototype that vaguely resembled skateboarding, Insomniac scrapped the original design and used that prototype as inspiration for what became Sunset Overdrive. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

While other kids pizza chains used animatronic mascots as static band members on a central stage, Freddy's had robots "roam" the restaurant to interact with children. That is until "The Bite of '87" when one of the animatronics took a chunk out of a patron. Business took a hit and Freddy and his friends were only allowed to roam during after-hours to keep their motors from seizing up. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza took another massive hit after five children went missing. The children were never found though many parents attending the pizzeria later noted a "disgusting smell" along with blood and mucus coming from the animatronics after the event. An unnamed suspect was arrested but the children were never found. With the animatronics beginning to deteriorate and malfunction, the chain must employ a night guard to watch over Freddy and the gang.

Although their first game Disruptor was a first person shooter skewed towards a more mature audience, Insomniac gained widespread recognition with the more kid friendly Spyro series. Originally released in 1998 on the PS1 Insomniac helmed the first three installments of the lovable purple dragon. Insomniac further cemented themselves as a major playstation developer with the release of Ratchet & Clank in 2002. Combining tight platforming with an absurd cast of characters and an even more absurd arsenal of weapons, Ratchet & Clank was a huge hit for Insomniac spawning numerous sequels. As technology evolved with the next console cycle so did Insomniac. Their next franchise was Resistance, a trilogy of first person shooters taking place in an alternate history where aliens have invaded earth -- a departure from the usual family-friendly games Insomniac was known for. Now, Insomniac is unleashing their next original IP, Sunset Overdrive -- an open-world shooter where energy drinks have mutated the human population. Oh, and they’re making a Ratchet and Clank movie, too.

Celebrimbor, the greatest Elven-smith of the Second Age, was lord of Eregion when fair-faced Annatar, the Lord of Gifts, claimed he could take their talents to the next level. With his teachings, the Gwaith forged the Rings of Power. Celebrimbor also created Three Rings untouched by Annatar, who was really Sauron all along. Using Gwaith knowledge, Sauron forged the One Ring within the heart of Mt. Doom to control the other rings and their bearers. The Elves hid the other rings, but Sauron captured and tortured Celebrimbor for their whereabouts. Celebrimbor kept the Three Rings hidden, but died before the Elves were able to defeat Sauron through their alliance with men. Thousands of years later, on the night Sauron returned to Mordor, Talion, a Captain and Ranger of Gondor, was stationed at the Black Gate. After he, his wife Ioreth, son Dirhael, and everyone he knows is murdered, Talion finds himself resurrected and sharing his body with a wraith, or apparition. Now you must use your combined powers to recover the wraith’s memories, exact revenge on the Black Hand, and break the curse to reunite with your family in the afterlife.

After the success of the non-movie based Arkham games, and director Peter Jackson telling them not to just copy his films, Monolith searched for their own story in the decades between the events of The Hobbit and Sam and Frodo’s journey through Mordor. With Middle-earth Enterprises at their side, Monolith decided to combine Celebrimbor, the key Elven smith in Tolkien’s origin story for the Rings of Power, with a new character: Talion. Monolith developed the Nemesis system in which prior interactions affected your next encounter, but the many combinations resulted in hard to find and hard to fix bugs for developers, even after release. Monolith also faced uproar both when a developer accused them of copying code from Assassin’s Creed 2, and when it surfaced that Shadow of Mordor review copies were only given to those who agreed to write shining reviews. However, accusations ceased when people realized it was actually just a good game.

Backstory: Assassin's Creed Unity is set in France during the French Revolution and centers around character Arno Victor Dorian. Arno Victor Dorian was born into a noble family in Versailles, France to a French father and Austrian mother. After Arno’s father is mysteriously killed, he is adopted by Francois De La Serre, leader of the Templars, an organization seeking to create and control a “perfect world”.

Transcript: Born in 1768 to an Austrian mother and French father, Arno Victor Dorian lived a noble life in Versailles, France. At age eight, tragedy struck when Arno’s father was mysteriously killed, leaving the young boy scarred and orphaned. He’s adopted by Francois De La Serre, head of the Templars, a long-standing organization seeking to create a “perfect world”. Arno, unaware of his adopted family’s allegiance, was raised by Francois and his daughter, Elise. The children became fast friends, often getting into trouble because of Elise’s adventurous personality. Unbeknownst to them at this time, they were training to be part of the Templars. However, Francois is soon murdered with Arno framed as the culprit. Left to wonder why his parental figures keep dying, Arno decided to join the Assassin Brotherhood to find answers. By 1789, Arno has now achieved the rank Master Assassin, but remains wary of the Brotherhood and their sworn enemy, the Templars. He will soon realize that the deaths of his loved ones are not only connected, but may be inextricably tied to the French Revolution, a time of great social and political upheaval and sung-through musicals. Arno must now encounter historical figures, his now adversary and love interest, Elise, and the uncertain state of his home country to seek redemption. Have fun! Have fun!

The video game was first released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2014 and later released on Windows in 2015. Backstory: Assassin's Creed: Rogue is the 2013 release in the Assassin's Creed video game series. Set in the early 1700s, half a million Irishmen emigrated to America to escape religious persecution and famine, with hopes and dreams of a better life in America. Among these Irish immigrants is Shay Patrick Cormac. Shay Patrick Cormac, an arrogant but talented Irishman, is a new recruit to the Brotherhood of Assassins, a secret order that fights the Templars, a military order trying to create and control a “perfect world”. Set during the Seven Years War’ (1754-1763), Shay Patrick Cormac becomes an efficient assassin who deals with questions of loyalty, morality, and the role of violence in colonial America. Gameplay: Assassin's Creed: Rogue is a historical fiction action-adventure video game. This game features new weapons, including an air-rifle, modified hand to hand combat weapons, and poison gas. Players build on skills developed in the previous Assassin’ Creed video games, which they can apply to this new historical setting. The game centers around completing missions, discovery new terrain, and helping build the new United States. Transcript: In the early 1700’s, half a million Irishmen emigrated to colonial America due to religious persecution and famine, becoming indentured servants in hopes of having a better life for their children. One of these children was Shay Patrick Cormac, an arrogant, brash, but gifted lad. However, when his father dies, Shay begins looking for meaning in his life and joins the Assassin Brotherhood. Shay quickly rises through the ranks, proving to be brutally efficient as an assassin, helping the Brotherhood gain influence over the frigid North Atlantic during colonial America. As the Seven Years’ War looms in the distance among powerful empires, so too does the war between the Brotherhood and their sworn enemies, the Templars. Though Shay has served the Assassins dutifully, his lingering doubts of the Brotherhood’s methods leave him wondering whether the Templars are as villainous as they say. His loyalty will be tested during this volatile and violent period of American history as his missions swell in their moral ambiguity, and it may be up to Shay to determine who rises and who falls.

The game was launched November 2014 in North America, Australia and Europe with a launch in Japan January of 2015. Backstory: In Far Cry 4, a young man named Gang Ming returns home to Kyrat after the death of his mother to find peace and spread his mother’s ashes. Instead, Gang Ming is sucked into the criminal underworld and a brewing civil war between eccentric king Pagan Min, and Golden Path, a rebel movement fighting against the king’s tyrannical rule. Caught between worlds, Gang Ming bears the responsibility for his country’s future, while trying to recover his family’s honor from the burdens of past shames. Gameplay: Far Cry 4 is a first person-shooter videogame with various role-playing game elements, including gaining experience points and building skill trees. Far Cry 4 exists in an interactive world in which players can join together to assist each other in missions and develop the world of Kyrat together. Transcript: A young man named Gang Min is having a hard time in Hong Kong's crime scene. His father is shamed in the criminal elite for marrying a British immigrant, and Min, like many young boys before him, wants to be more flamboyant than his father allows, so naturally, he murders his father... then names himself after the 19th century Burmese king who also killed his father. Surprisingly, a guy who commits patricide doesn't have many friends and Min must seek refuge in Kyrat, a Himalayan region that's doing its darndest to be a failed monarchy. In the midst of a civil war, Min shows up with a private army and sides with the Royalists, helps them reclaim the throne, and then murders them all. As Pagan establishes power, a revolutionary group springs up called The Golden Path, led by the rebel tactician Mohan Ghale. Mohan and Pagan are also caught up in a love triangle with a local woman named Ishwari. Mohan bites the Himalayan dust, Ishwari flees to the US, and Pagan goes all Howard Hughes and retreats to his palace, leaving several crazy governors in control. You are Ajay Gale, the child of Mohan and Ishwari, who was told by his dying mother to spread her ashes in Kyrat… and you’re totally in the dark about all of this. Have fun!

An international version was developed by Mediatonic and published by Devolver Digital in September 2014 for Windows, OS X and Linux. Backstory: In this post-apocalyptic game, a deadly H5N1 bird flu virus has spread across civilization, threatening to wipe out all of humanity. It is now 2068, and sapient birds now rule the world. In this visual novel/dating video-game, a virus scientists developed to kill all birds has backfired, creating a super-species of hyper-intelligent mutated pigeons that fight a thirty-year war with humanity. The birds win the war, and become the dominant species on the planet. A peace treaty has created a temporary peace between birds and humans, but tensions are high. In this futuristic world, threats to stability are everywhere. Terrorist attacks from extremist groups such as the Hawks and Human Liberation front occur. And even stranger, dating between humans and birds is now a common occurrence. In Hatoful Boyfriend, Hiyoko is sent to St. PigeoNation, a pidgeon school. At this school, Hiyoko represents the human race to see if humans and birds can integrate and live together peacefully. Hiyoko must show humans and birds can not only love each other, but date as well. Transcript: The year is 2068. A bird flu known as H5N1 has spread across civilization, and it’s so deadly that it threatened to wipe out all of humanity. In response scientists tried to synthesize a virus that would kill all birds. Unfortunately the virus doesn't work as planned and mutates pigeons (and some other bird species) into hyper-intelligent mutants. Now self-aware, the super-pigeons enter a 30-year war with humanity, and presumably a lot of beak pecking happens, probably even more bird poop. Humanity is mostly wiped out, and the birds have become the dominant species. A peace treaty is signed though tensions are still at an all-time high. There are still occasional conflicts and terrorist attacks from extremist groups such as the Hawks and Human Liberation Front -- um, did I mention that this was a game about dating pigeons?! Some humans develop a natural resistance to H5N1 and are able to interact with their super-pigeon brethren more easily. One such human youth named Hiyoko is sent to a pigeon school called St PigeoNation as a representative of the human race as an experiment to see if humans and birds can peacefully integrate… and kiss. How does that work? Now it’s up to Hiyoko to show the world that a human and a pigeon can love one another… or humanity as we know it is doomed. So get out there, and DATE THOSE BIRDS. Have fun!

Subscribe for more Lore: http://bit.ly/MoarLore See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Follow Lore on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute About The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Videogame Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a remake of Binding of Isaac, a game originally designed by Edmund McMillan and Florian Himsl and launched in 2011 on Microsoft Windows. Binding of Isaac Rebirth was released in November 2014 on PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows, OS X & Linux. Binding of Isaac is based on the biblical story of Isaac. In Binding of Isaac, Isaac and his mother live in a small home on top of a hill. Isaac enjoys simple pleasures like drawing and playing with toys, until his mother, who frequently watches religious television programs, hears a voice from “above” telling her that Isaac must be cleansed of his sins and saved. Isaac’s mother takes away all of his toys, and eventually hears another voice telling her that Isaac must be sacrificed. In order to escape his mother, Isaac runs and stumbles upon a secret trapdoor that launches him into an unknown basement dudgeon world. In this world, Isaac must face monsters that represent his darkest fears and horrible childhood memories. Isaac must face his internal darkness in this external, dungeon world. Game Development: The development of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth began with the success of the original The Binding of Isaac. The game was developed for Nintendo DS, but was later rejected for its “questionable religious content.” Instead, The Binding of Isaac was developed and released on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Playstation 4, and a variety of other platforms. Gameplay: Similar to the original game, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth launched as a 2D action-adventure game where the player controls Isaac and adventures around places such as the Necropolis, Catacombs and his mother’s own Womb. As the game progresses, Isaac must fight through many stages and bosses with 3 new final bosses including Mega Satan, The Lamb and the Angel boss, Uriel and Gabriel. Reviews and Awards: -Destructoid gave the game a 10/10 rating. -GameRankings gave the game an aggregate score of 90.2% -The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth received an 86/100 on Metacritic based on 10 critic reviews Transcript: There once was a boy named Isaac, who lived alone with his mother in a nice little home perched on top of a hill. Isaac and his mother have simple interests; he enjoys drawing and playing with toys, she enjoys watching religious television programs. This goes on for a while until his mother hears a voice from "above" telling her that the boy is full of sin and must be saved. She does so by taking away his toys, drawings, and even the clothes on his back. This is not enough. The voice commands more is done and Isaac is then locked in his room. This is also enough. Doubting her faith, the voice tells Isaac's mother he must be sacrificed. Poor Isaac, hearing this and seeing his mother approaching with a kitchen knife, scrambles to find a way out until he stumbles upon a secret trapdoor hidden under the rug. Naked, scared, and with no other options, Isaac descends into this unknown basement dungeon filled with monsters and visions representing his childhood memories and fears. It's gonna get dark. Both figuratively and literally.

Needing a new home, the people of Coral started the Pioneer Project to find and colonize new worlds. Deciding on the juicy green planet of Ragol as their destination, they launch Pioneer 1; a massive space ark. Upon landing, the colonists find Ragol is a paradise and immediately begin taking over, establishing bases and filling them with engineers, scientists, and AI’s. One of these colonists, Heathcliff Flowen, discovers ancient ruins which are actually a crashed alien ship containing an evil entity known as Dark Falz. Heathcliff and his men release Falz and are wiped out. The newly formed colony government attempts to cover it up, but now that every animal on the planet is suddenly corrupt and violent, suspicions arise. One adventurous girl, "Red Ring" Rico Tyrell decides to investigate, also discovering Falz and becoming possessed by the evil tentacle monster… Yeah. Seven years pass and Pioneer II hovers over the planet's surface, preparing to land. As this happens Falz unleashes an explosive wave of energy, killing or absorbing everyone on the surface. Now freaked out, Pioneer II stays in orbit and sends your team to explore the planet's surface and figure out what happened.

Okawa approached Sonic Team's leader Yuji Naka who had just finished Sonic Adventure on creating a new title focused around network play. The team had already split into three groups: one working on pushing the graphical capabilities of the Dreamcast, one on potential online games, and another on what would become Chu Chu Rocket. As the team reassembled, Art Director Satoshi Sakai tried blending elements of fantasy, sci-fi and realism. An early concept art piece of a dragon reminded Naka of the old Sega franchise Phantasy Star, which started the connection to the franchise. Phantasy Star Online was released in Japan in 2000 and the US in 2001. In order to market it to Japanese audiences where internet services were charged by the minute, Okawa packaged the game with a year of free internet access and paid for it out of his own pocket. Phantasy Star Online enjoyed critical acclaim and was pegged as one of the most revolutionary games for taking both players and consoles online.

During his never-ending campaign, LeChuck sets his sights on the Governor of the Tri-Island area, the beautiful Elaine Marley, who unbeknownst to her, also has a family history of piracy. Surprisingly unimpressed by his dead crow hat and body odor, Elaine rejects LeChuck's advances. With Elaine now his new goal over money and power, LeChuck sets his sights on impressing the Governess. Using a map ironically stolen from Elaine's grandfather Captain Marley, LeChuck goes after a mystical prize called The Big Whoop, which turns out to be a portal to the Underworld. Without hesitation, LeChuck sacrifices his soul to gain the portal's voodoo powers and ability to turn his crewmen into undead warriors like himself.

Enthralled by both Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ride and the historical fiction novel On Stranger Tides, Gilbert began writing a series of short stories. LucasFilm Games liked Gilbert’s pitch, but it wasn't until after he and his teammates worked on the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade game that he was able to assemble a team for “Mutiny on Monkey Island.” Gilbert hired Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman, who would go on to lead Double Fine and Telltale games. Moving away from the frustrating deaths of other adventure games of the time, they made it impossible for the player to die, and encouraged exploration. The three leaders had vastly different styles of writing and humor, so Gilbert assigned them to head individual sections based on the type of humor needed.

Meanwhile, independent developer Naughty Dog, headed by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin, began toying with the idea of developing a 3-dimensional Donkey Kong-esque platformer for Sony's PlayStation. Naughty Dog brought on cartoon animators Charles Zembillas and Joe Pearson, and character concept began by choosing a relatively cute, obscure animal from down under. Sony loved the demo tape, and a deal was signed for Universal to publish the game. As E3 drew closer, the team finally choose a name for their hero: Crash Bandicoot. However, Universal’s marketing team wanted the name Wez Wombat and didn't much care for the bandicoot’s sexualized girlfriend Tawna. Naughty Dog told universal if they wanted that name, they could finish development themselves. And with that, Crash Bandicoot was born. Crash took E3 by storm, effectively becoming the Playstation Mascot and one of the highest sold PlayStation titles to date.

How well do you know about the real Crash Bandicoot? Did you know…? -Crash Bandicoot was first launched on Playstation in 2006. -Crash Bandicoot has a younger sister named Coco, and an older brother named Crunch. -Crash’s initial name was “Willy Wombat”, but because of a Warner Brother’s character with the same name, Naughty Dog chose Crash Bandicoot, since he breaks crates frequently. -Crash Bandicoot was once seen as a potential mascot for Sony, to rival Sonic the Hedgehog and Nintendo’s Mario. -Crash Bandicoot was created by his arch-nemesis, Dr. Neo Cortex. -The ‘N’ on Dr. Neo Cortex’s head stands for nerd. -A bandicoot is a real animal, a marsupial native to Australia. Crash Bandicoot Game Development Fast Facts: -Although only brought on to publish Crash Bandicoot; Universal Interactive Studios tried to take full credit of the game and originally leaked covers and press releases without the Naughty Dog name on it. --Crash Bandicoot was created with vertex animation, rather than skeletal animation which allowed the animators to give Crash many character expressions, including blowing up like a balloon and being completely flattened. Transcript: Crash’s initial name was “Willy Wombat,” but there was already a Warner Brothers character of the same name, so the equally terrible names of Wez, Wuzzies, and Wizzy the Wombat were also pitched. Thankfully, Naughty Dog settled on Crash Bandicoot, for his tendency to break crates. Fast Facts! Universal Interactive Studios made attempts to take full credit for the game, even though they were only brought on to publish it. Before E3, they leaked box covers as well as press materials without the Naughty Dog name on any of it. Naughty, naughty! Fast Facts! Naughty Dog used vertex animation rather than skeletal animation for the bandicoot, so Crash essentially had no bones (or neck). This allowed animators to give Crash extensive character expressions and Looney Tune-like traits such as being completely flattened or blown up like a balloon. Fast Facts!

Subscribe for more Lore: http://bit.ly/MoarLore See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Follow Lore on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute About Crash Bandicoot: Crash Bandicoot was created by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin at Naughty Dog for Sony. Crash Bandicoot is a cartoon bandicoot, or marsupial, who was originally intended as a mascot of the Sony game platform, equivalent to Sonic the Hedge or Nintendo’s Mario. It was originally launched exclusively on the PlayStation. Since inception, Crash Bandicoot has launched on multiple platforms and shipping over 50 million copies worldwide. While Crash Bandicoot was originally launched solely on Playstation, Crash Bandicoot video games are now prolific across videogame platforms, including Nintendo DS and Gamecube, Sony Playstations, and Microsoft Xbox and Xbox 360. Backstory: Crash Bandicoot is a popular title character in the Crash Bandicoot video game series. In the popular Crash Bandicoot video game series, Crash Bandicoot frequently faces off against his archrival, Doctor Neo Cortex, a mad scientist bent on world domination. In most versions of this game, Crash Bandicoot must stop Doctor Neo Cortex all costs. This popular action adventure game is often set in the fictional Wumpa Islands, set on the archipelagos of Australia. Gameplay: Crash Bandicoot is a platform series where the goal is to guide Crash through the courses to beat the levels. There are two playable views where the player guides Crash left to right or through the screen in an almost 3D like manner. Crash can run, jump or spin through creatures and obstacles. There are many crates and items that Crash can gain which give him special abilities and powers. Reviews and Awards: -Crash Bandicoot sold more than 50 million game units worldwide as of 2007 -The first Crash Bandicoot was named the seventh best selling PlayStation game of all time selling more than 6.8 million units by 2003 Future Developments: The creators of Crash Bandicoot have discussed the potential for a total reboot of the Crash Bandicoot series for the 21st century. Transcript: Neo Periwinkle Cortex was born to a family of circus clowns, but shunned entertaining others in favor of scientific study. At three, a group of performers tattooed an N on his forehead, for “Nerd.” After a freak explosion left Cortex without a family, he enrolled at Madame Amberly’s Academy of Evil where he met the timid Nitrus Brio. Even in adulthood, Dr. Cortex was still ridiculed by those around him. So to show those egg heads he has what it takes, he hatches a plot to take over the world. With the help of Dr. Brio and his Evolvo-ray, a device that can zap animals up the evolutionary chain, Cortex creates an army of mutated animals and chooses Crash Bandicoot to lead them. Of course, you can't just expect animals to do your bidding, and who has the time or patience to train them? So naturally, the second step is to brainwash them all with the Cortex Vortex... except it doesn’t work on Crash. Crash escapes, but must leave behind his girlfriend Tawna. After washing ashore on N. Sanity Beach, Crash meets and frees a witch doctor spirit mask named Aku Aku. Now with Aku Aku’s guidance, Crash must stop pollution, save his girlfriend, and foil Cortex's plans for world domination all the while collecting floating apples.

Épisode 297 - LORE - Dragon Age: Inquisition - Lore in a minute! - Dragon Age 3

​​​Allegra Clark is here with your Dragon Age: Inquisition Lore! Subscribe for more Lore: http://bit.ly/MoarLore See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Follow Lore on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute About Dragon Age: Inquisition Dragon Age: Inquisition, or Dragon Age 3, is a role-playing game published by Electronic Arts and developed by BioWare. The game launched in November 2014 as one of the most anticipated RPG games. It was launched as the third major game in the Dragon AGe franchise and was released on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox one. Dragon Age: Inquisition takes place on the continent of Thedas, the same place where the original Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II take place. Backstory: The continent of Thedas went through many ages: the Exalted Age, the Steel Age and lastly the Dragon Age. At the time of the Dragon Age, a big outbreak of civil wars between werewolves and elves, templars and mages and dwarves and golems began. This led to the resurrection of the Grey Wardens, an elite class of Warriors. The area of Kirkwall is saved by the Champion of Kirkwall after is under siege by Qunari militans. This event brings an all out war between the Templars and the Mages. The war is eventually brought to a halt but tensions still remain between the religious and the magical. While negotiations are being made in the town of Haven at the Temple of Sacred Ashes, a big explosion falls from the sky destroying the temple, creating a Tear in the Veil, a magical barrier between the world and the Fade, the metaphysical realm. The Inquisitor must now close the Tear in the Veil and other ones opening up across the lands. Gameplay: Inquisition allows a player to choose from three playable races: Human, Dwarf and Elf. There are two forms of combat which include action role-playing and class role-playing. Acting as the Inquisitor, players position and prepare their team with party members and deploy agents and troops through advisors. Players capture forts and keeps to gain influence in areas of the world by defeating the players of the keep or forts. Reviews and Awards: -Received perfect scores from both Alexander Silwinski from Joystiq and Adam Beck from Hardcore Gamer -Game Informer listed Dragon Age: Inquisition as the most anticipated RPG to be released in 2014 -According to EA’s earnings report, Dragon Age: Inquisition was the most successful launch based on number of units sold in Bioware’s history Transcript: The land of Thedas has had many ages; the Exalted Age, the Steel Age, and most recently the Dragon Age. During this time the land of Ferelden was caught up in an epic outbreak of darkspawn, civil wars between mages and templars, elves and werewolves, and dwarves and golems, and the resurrection of an elite class of warriors known as the Grey Wardens who are just as good at seduction as they are at fighting. Later the northern area of Kirkwall is under siege by Qunari militants, but is thwarted by the Champion of Kirkwall. This event creates a power vacuum between the Templars and Mages who are already 'raring for a fight. People are called names, important figures are assassinated, treaties are broken, and characters are seduced until finally an all-out Mage-Templar war breaks out. The war is eventually quelled, though tensions are still high between the magical and the religious. A few weeks later in the town of Haven at the Temple of Sacred Ashes, negotiations are attempted by the head of the Chantry. Before peace can be reached an enormous explosion rips down from the sky, destroying the temple and opens up a Tear in the Veil, the magical barrier between our world and the metaphysical realm known as the Fade. In the wreckage of the Temple, you are naturally the sole survivor. You should figure out why. On top of that, you seem blessed and/or cursed with an ability to close this tear and the other ones popping up across the world. --------- Written by Chad: https://www.youtube.com/user/TajesMahoney Voiced by Allegra Clark: https://twitter.com/simplyallegra Animated by Jeremey: https://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro

Unfortunately for them, the home they decide to rob has you, Kevin McAllister, whose family has forgotten you, arrived in Paris, and cannot reach your cellphone...because they don’t exist yet. Armed with a bb gun and an ingenuity for designing household traps that would make the creators of 13 Dead End Drive blush, it is up to you to ki...uh, stop the bandits from taking your family’s precious VCR.

Fifteen years earlier, the Nostromo mysteriously exploded, leaving 10 year old Amanda Ripley without her mother, Ellen. For fifteen years, Amanda has eaten her PB and J's with the crust still on and now she needs answers. As Amanda, you’re an engineer in the sector where the Nostromo exploded when Samuels, an android from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, informs you of the recovered flight recorder. He offers to take you and Weyland-Yutani executive, Nina Taylor, to retrieve it from a spooky remote space station owned by the Seegson Corporation. You can trust them, they're good corporate citizens and would totally mention if a vicious alien with corrosive acid for blood were on the loose. So suit up and ignore all the red flags because you are about to spacewalk to a damaged space station, fight paranoid crew members and heartless androids, and be hunted by an alien meaner than your mother-in-law.

Within spitting distance is Donkey Kong Island, home to a species of powerful apes-that-aren't-apes called Kongs. In the past, the Kongs were led by the original Donkey Kong, a violent beast prone to throw barrels and kidnap women. After being defeated by an energetic human plumber, DK retreated to Kong Island where he watched over his younger relative and took on the mantle Cranky Kong to reflect his bitter attitude. As the years passed, this new Kong became the "true" Donkey Kong, along with his cousin Diddy Kong, his girlfriend Candy Kong, and numerous other Kongs who proudly name themselves after one selective trait. The Kong's greatest pride is their enormous amount of bananas despite only needing a small fraction to survive. Hating the Kongs, and wanting their banana supply for some reason, King K.Rool launches an attack on Kong Island. Unfortunately the inexperienced Diddy Kong is entrusted to guard the banana stash and is easily trapped in a barrel while the bananas are stolen by the Kremlings. Now Donkey Kong must recover them and bring along his nephew to atone for his sin.

That ape is Donkey Kong’s pappy, Cranky Kong, who is now older and watching over his younger relative. In the game's intro, Cranky can be seen on the red construction girders of the original games. Nintendo Mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto once surprisingly knocked Donkey Kong Country's game design by saying "Donkey Kong Country proves that players will put up with mediocre gameplay as long as the art is good." He later apologized for the statement explaining that while making Yoshi's Island, he was pressured to make the game more like DKC. Diddy Kong was originally going to be Donkey Kong Jr, who had also appeared in the original arcade games. Nintendo worried the appearance was too different and forced Rare to rename him. Before arriving on "Diddy," potential names were "Diet DK," "DK Lite," "Titchy Kong" and "Dinky Kong". --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1bsstnb Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

After making several other titles for Nintendo, including Captain Skyhawk, Wizards & Warriors, and Battletoads for the NES and Game Boy, Rare decided invest in new, advanced graphics systems. The Stampers took this new tech and pitched a boxing game to Nintendo. The company was so impressed with the work that they bought a 49% stake in Rare, making them a second-party developer. To cement their new partnership, the Stampers expressed a desire to make a new Donkey Kong game. With Nintendo's blessing, a small team was assembled to reinvent the character and gameplay. Rare's innovations included not only giving Donkey Kong a three-dimensional makeover, but observing real-life animals like horses to base the animations off of. Donkey Kong Country was made largely without Nintendo's interference, though the game was eventually scaled down in difficulty and a few moves such as Donkey Kong's hand slap were added at the eleventh hour after Shigeru Miyamoto offered suggestions. Donkey Kong Country was released in 1994 to solid reviews, ushering a new franchise of dopey animals and terrible raps about them.

Thanks to Marty’s interference with the space-time continuum, which included dodging his loosey goosey mother’s advances in 1955, riding hoverboards in the far away future of 2015, and gunslinging with cowboys in 1885, his dad, George McFly, is now an accomplished author. Meanwhile, George’s nemesis, Biff Tannen, no longer bullies him and is now just an irrepressible butthead. And all of this wouldn’t have been possible without the mad genius of Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown who invented the world’s first time travel machine. However, Doc has gone missing, last seen traveling to an unknown time period with his family. Seven months have passed and the debt collectors have come to haul away all of Doc’s priceless inventions. Thankfully, Doc may have left a few clues to indicate where or rather, when, he is. It is now up to you, the fearless Marty McFly, to fire up that Delorean to 88 miles an hour, crank up Huey Lewis and the News, and find out where in the future or past Doc has traveled to save him.

Subscribe for more Lore: http://bit.ly/MoarLore See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Follow Lore on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute About Katamari Damacy: Katamari Damacy is a puzzle video game or rolling ball game that was developed by Namco for the PlayStation 2 video game console. The game started as a school project from Namco Digital Hollywood Game Laboratory. The game centers around the Prince, known as the Prince of All Cosmos or Dashing Prince, who must rebuild the constellations, stars and Moon which were destroyed by his father. After its initial release in Japan, the game won several awards and led to the creation of seven sequels to the series. Backstory: The main story in the Katamari Damacy game centers around the King of All Cosmos who, after partying and drinking too much, destroys all the stars and celestial bodies orders his son to rebuild the cosmos using the Katamari. The Katamari is a magic ball the collects objects it comes in contact with and can create new stars, constellations and the moon once it collects enough objects. The prince eventually completes this task and the Cosmos are returned to normal. Gameplay: The gameplay for Katamari Damacy centers around the player controlling the prince to roll the Katamari around towns to get objects to stick to the Katamari. The primary mode, or “Make a Star” mode, requires a player to grow the katamari to a specific size within a certain amount of time. Other missions require the player to collect specific objects such as, swans, crabs or pairs, or big objects, such as a cow or bear, within a given time frame. There are two secret items that can be found in each level, a royal present or a cousin of the Prince. The royal present usually includes an item that the Prince can wear. The second secret item is a cousin of the Prince which can only be collected once the game is beaten and can be used as a character in multiplayer modes. Transcript: In the universe, a supreme being exists with the power to shape and govern the cosmos... and throw one heck of a party! When the King of All Cosmos visits Earth, rainbows burst from the mountaintops. The animals dance and sing, but learn that even a king can party too hard when he accidentally destroys the moon and all the stars. Maybe no one will notice? Wrong! Today, the Hoshino family planned to see their astronaut father launch to the moon, but it doesn’t exist anymore due to a certain rager of the royal sort. Now the king must do the only noble thing left... make his son fix it! Explaining that this is how father-son bonding works, he tells the prince to rebuild the night sky using a Katamari, a magical ball that sticks to objects smaller than itself and grows as more objects are collected. Once the katamari grows large enough it can form new stars, rebuild the moon, or confuse the pants off an astrophysicist. You are the Prince of All Cosmos. Sure, the King likes to tell you he's disappointed that giant space royalty like himself has a pipsqueak for a son, but you'll show him. You'll build entire constellations by rolling up umbrellas, cows, and mountains with your katamari. Besides, you have a sweet soundtrack and a gigantic sticky ball to run over all the haters.

It was initially launched on the PlayStation and has since been launched on Windows, Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Nintendo Gamecube. The game is focused on Kain who is on a quest to restore balance to the world. The game was praised for its high quality visuals and narrative and sold more than 3 million copies as of 2007. Backstory: The Legacy of Kain takes place on Nosgoth whose health is tied to the Pillars of Nosgoth which are preserved by the Circle of Nine. In Nosgoth there were three main races: Humans, Vampires and Hylden. The vampires and humans worshipped the Elder God and the wheel of fate while the Hylden wanted to remove themselves from the influence of the Elder God. In light of this, the Vampires went to war against the Hylden in which the Vampires used their magic to create nine pillars used to banish the Hylden. The Hylden were then able to curse the Vampires with immorality and sterility which turned the Elder God against them. Most of the Vampires eventually committed suicide and were hunted by the humans. The nine pillars became the responsibility of humankind who were appointed to protect the pillars. Peace was brought onto the lands of Nosgoth during this time until one of the pillar guardians was murdered which sent Nosgoth into chaos. Kain, a human nobleman, is murdered and resurrected as a vampire tasked with restoring order to Nosgoth. Gameplay: The Legacy of Kain games are all based on an action-adventure genre with action gameplay, puzzle-solving and role-playing and exploration elements. Players are able to solve puzzles and defeat bosses while gaining new weapons and abilities. The main characters, Kain and Raziel both must fight enemies in order to restore health by consuming blood (Kain) or getting souls (Raziel). Transcript: In ancient Nosgoth there were three predominant races; humans, vampires and hylden. While the vampires and humans worshipped the deity known as the Elder God and his wheel of fate, the hylden were more technologically inclined and sought to remove themselves from the Elder God's influence. The vampires treated this as an act blasphemy and declared and all out war against the Hylden. Using their magic, the vampires were able to erect nine pillars to banish the Hylden to another dimension, and then created a weapon known as the reaver to defend Nosgoth should they ever return. This backfired for the vampires as the Hylden were able to curse them with immortality and sterility which placed them outside of the Elder God's wheel of fate. Miserable, most vampires committed suicide while the rest were hunted down by humans. The responsibility of the pillars fell on humankind and nine human guardians were appointed to the circle of nine to protect the pillars. There was peace for many years until one of the pillar guardians was murdered. This act corrupted the rest of the guardians sending Nosgoth into chaos. Thirty years later, Kain, a human nobleman, is murdered and resurrected by a necromancer as a vampire. Now tasked with cleansing the corrupted guardians, it’s up to Kain to restore order to Nosgoth.

The Glukkons formed a new society working to invalidate the belief of the Mudokon supremacy.

When the shape of a Mudokon handprint mysteriously appeared on Oddworld’s largest moon, the Mudokons to claimed this “Mudokon Moon” as a sign from the gods that they were the Chosen Race. Their Glukkon allies, a fellow spiritually oriented race, were outraged by the Mudokon’s self proclaimed supremacy. Thus began the Age of Alchemy in which the Glukkons formed a new society spending their entire lives indoors, never looking upon the sky, and working to invalidate the belief in Mudokon supremacy among all species. As Glukkon society became more industrialized, they increased consumption of the planet’s resources. The Mudokons also started working for the Glukkons who belittled and eventually enslaved them.

Subscribe for more Lore: http://bit.ly/MoarLore See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Follow Lore on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute Written by Randy Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr: http://jakeparrthevoice.weebly.com/ Animated by Animotionism: https://www.youtube.com/user/animotionism Transcript: After Lorne Lanning worked with 3D animation in Hollywood, he knew that it would be the future of gaming. He went to Hollywood visual effects producer Sherry McKenna to see if she would help co-found a video game company together. Although hesitant, she eventually agreed and in 1994, Oddworld Inhabitants opened its doors. Lanning pitched a story to investors that would later become Abe's Oddysee. They liked the idea of a game with more movie-like qualities; one that was story and character driven. Abe’s Oddysee was not your typical game; it didn’t center around the Super Hero-esque archetype that would punch and shoot their way to victory. They didn't want to use a hero that people dreamed of being, but rather one that they could relate to. Oddworld Inhabitants would live or die with the success of this game. Even though investors loved how different this game was, there was a large concern on how actual gamers would receive it. Would players want a game where they would care about the hero and story, or did they just want a gun and highscore? In 1997, their fears were put to rest. Abe's Oddysee was released, captivating audiences with immersive story and character design, and paving the way for multiple sequels and spin offs while cementing narrative storytelling as a feature and not an obstacle in video games.

Oddworld has been launched on multiple platforms including: PlayStation, Xbox, PlayStation 3, Windows, Wii U and PC. In Oddworld games, players can use the GameSpeak feature which allows players to interact with computer characters. Backstory: Oddworld is a planet in another dimension which all the Oddworld games take place. In all the games, the planet Oddworld’s nature and beauty is threatened by corporations looking to profit. Lorne Lanning, Oddworld Inhabitants cofounder, wanted to create a game that would bring to light issues in today’s society such as capitalism, the fast food industry and third world exploitation. The main species in the game are the mudokons who are described as spiritual and peaceful creatures. Abe, also known as Stitch Lips, is the primary character in the Oddworld franchise. He is a Mudokon and is known as the Messiah of the Mudokons. He is a purplish blue color as opposed to the neutral green color of the Mudokons. Abe has a tattoo on his chest with five horizontal lines which represent each game in the Oddworld Quintology. Abe began his life as most of the Mudokons did in an industrial establishment at RuptureFarms. Abe was eventually able to free himself from RuptureFarms because of his ability to posses other beings. Gameplay: The first game in the Oddworld franchise is Abe’s Oddysee. It is a platform game where players can travel the world of Oddworld while solving puzzles, going through obstacles and avoiding enemies to save his fellow Mudokons. Throughout the game, Abe is attacked by Sligs, Scrabs and Paramies. Transcript: Before Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee was released in Japan, the Mudokons’ four fingers were reduced to three to avoid resemblance to a hand gesture that was offensive to a subclass of Japanese meatpackers who had frequent accidents in the work place. Independent Game developer "Just Add Water" were fans of the series and contacted Oddworld Inhabitants to recreate it. This relationship not only brought Oddworld Inhabitants back to the industry, it also introduced Abe to a whole new generation of gamers in the form of the Abe’s Oddysee remake New ‘n’ Tasty. Oddworld Inhabitants cofounder Lorne Lanning wanted a game that would use oddball humor to open the players’ eyes to real world issues such as third world exploitation, the fast food industry, and capitalism. The Mudokons, for example, were the embodiment of diamond miners and indigenous cultures forced to become financially dependent on larger countries. Check out the most popular Lore videos below.

Smith brings you the inside scoop on the backstory of Spyro only on Lore in a minute! Backstory: A long time ago, there was a mystical land inhabited by Sorceress and Dragons. The Sorceress eventually drove the Dragons from the land. The Dragons then founded the Dragon Realms which consisted of six worlds that were all connected. The Dragons built a peaceful civilization until one day the dragons caught thieves stealing two eggs. The eggs hatched, creating Spyro and Sparx, a dragonfly and companion to Spyro. A gnorc named Gnastry did not like everybody else and eventually created his own kingdom and started learning magic spells to defeat Dragon Realms. It is up to Spyro to go on a journey and take Gnasty head on. Character: Charles Zembillas created Spyro specifically for the game Spyro the Dragon.

Transcript: Long ago, there existed the Forgotten Realms, a mystical land inhabited by the dragons and the Sorceress. However, the consummation between the two did not last as the power-hungry Sorceress drove the dragons from the lands. Banished from their home, the dragons founded the Dragon Realms; six interconnected worlds to settle in. From the arid deserts of the Peace Keepers to the secluded floating gardens of the Dream Weavers, the dragons built a peaceful civilization which included the simple-minded gnorcs and the dragonflies-- lifelong companions of the dragons. Years later, the dragons caught some thieves stealing two eggs. The eggs hatched, revealing a small purple dragon, Spyro, and his dragonfly companion, Sparx. Having no parents, the two friends forged a strong bond with each other and became fiercely headstrong and adventurous. While most citizens of the Dragon Realms lived peacefully, one gnorc, Gnasty, did not play well with others because he was mean, jealous, and super super sad that the dragons made fun of his ugliness. Over the years, he’s harbored his hatred, creating his own kingdom and learning the magic spell that could send the Dragon Realms to ruin. It is now up to Spyro, whose small stature allowed him to escape Gnasty’s curse, to venture throughout the Dragon Realms to free his brethren, take back their treasure, and remind Gnasty how ugly he is.

With the Goo having finally discovered an ecosystem capable of sustaining life, the humans travel to this new planet, the Nine. While rich in resources, the humans find no life and are convinced that they’re alone in the universe. They promptly return to Earth to live in isolation while the Goo continue to explore. Hundreds of years later, a mysterious signal originating from Nine reaches Earth, and the humans immediately send an expedition to investigate signs of possible life. They discover Nine has become home to the Beta, a spacefaring race now broken, battered, and on the run from an enemy determined to destroy them all. Having decommissioned their last starship to start anew on Nine, the once-nomadic Betas have rebuilt their civilization and must defend it from those who threaten it.

Transcript: In the distant future, humanity has expanded into deep space, establishing colonies on distant planets. When valuable planets are found, a planet tamer is sent in to strongarm any potential threats -- and there were none better than William Cabot. Cabot is now retired, but the colonies on Shear, a planet in the remote region known as the Far Arm, have requested a comeback tour. It seems the Shear colonies are chock full of the resources that a growing galactic civilization needs... but they have a teeny-tiny problem. Alien monsters are slaughtering the colonists! Even more troubling, the monsters are evolving, and not like "glands that convert saltwater to freshwater" evolving. Some breathe fire, others conduct electricity, and rumors of more frightening creatures keep coming. A full-scale evacuation has been ordered, but thousands of colonists are still trapped on the planet. As William Cabot and his crew of the universe's most ruthless mercenaries, psychopaths, and corporate tax attorneys, you have five days to take these monsters down before the colony is lost. Fight your way through alien wildlife on a distant planet as you hunt down nightmarish creatures that are evolving with new ways to maim and kill you. It's up to you to stop them before they evolve into a threat to civilization greater than any reality television star. --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Development: In May 2011, THQ acquired the publishing rights to Evolve from Turtle Rock Studios. After filing for bankruptcy in December 2012, Take-Two Interactive purchased the publishing rights to Evolve for $10.8 Million. At E32014, 2k Games made many announcements about the gameplay and characters in Evolve. Evolve launched on February 10, 2015 after some delays and beta and alpha testing. Reviews and Rewards: -IGN gave the game a 9/10 with a review from Vince Ingenito citing it’s thrilling and tactical gameplay, unique concept and strong AI. -Kevin VanOrd from GameSpot gave Evolve an 8/10 also giving praise to the AI elements in Evolve -Evolve launched No. 1 in UK software-sales chart Transcript: When THQ went bankrupt and its assets were auctioned off, Turtle Rock Studios put in a bid with every penny they had as a fail-safe bid in case no publishers bought Evolve. They knew they had a great game and after years of work, they were willing to risk it all to ensure its release. Evolve existed before Left 4 Dead, but hardware limitations prevented the devs from creating the game. The devs wanted the monsters to be able to hide from and stalk the hunters using the environment, but the technology at the time couldn’t render the lush alien habitats that this game mechanic demanded. Fortunately, Left 4 Dead’s Tank encounters encouraged Turtle Rock to revisit the concept. The original game design for Evolve had the Monster characters controlled with a First Person perspective, but Turtle Rock changed this to third person so the player could see the scale and growth of the monster as it evolves.

Chris then introduced his friends Mike Booth and Phil Robb to the folks at Valve and Mike founded Turtle Rock Studios, an independent studio where they could work on Valve's Counter-Strike titles. After-hours, they modded Counter-Strike for their own amusement, painting zombie character skins, redesigning levels, and editing game code to allow large numbers of bots to attack the players. They shared this mod with Valve and they were hooked. The game wasn't pretty, but it was the precursor to Turtle Rock's first original game, Left 4 Dead. Valve eventually bought Turtle Rock and they officially became Valve South, but after Left 4 Dead's release, they were shut down and invited to move to the Seattle offices. Wishing to stay in California, Chris and Phil reopened Turtle Rock Studios as an independent studio. They worked with Valve on Left 4 Dead DLC, then shopped their next project, the cooperative multiplayer game "Evolve." Original publisher, THQ, went bankrupt, but fortunately Take-Two Interactive bought "Evolve", becoming the first game ever to win both the E3 and Gamescom "Best of Show" awards in the same year.

The Order: 1886 was developed by SCE Santa Monica Studio and Ready at Dawn. Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr brings you the backstory and history behind this new game title on Lore in a minute! Game Launch: Ready at Dawn began working on the game since 2010 and officially announced the game at Sony E3 2013. The game was officially launched February 20, 2015. There was a leaked full video playthrough of The Order: 1886 before the launch that showed the game could be completed in 5 hours. This was met with mixed reviews and was defended by the CEO of Ready at Dawn, Ru Weerasuriya. Game Backstory: The Order: 1886 takes place in an alternate history in London where some of humanity has evolved to become both animal and man. This leads to a war in which humans and half-breeds fight for centuries. Hope is found when King Arthur creates The Knights of the Round Table, which includes the world’s best warriors and intellectuals to protect humanity. The vast amount of half breed monsters make Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table realize they are losing the battle. The Knights discover a substance called Blackwater, an elixir that boasts magical powers. The half breeds continue to win the battles until the dawn of the Industrial Revolution which brings weapons and new technologies. With all these advances, the Order is unable to serve the majority of the population. Eventually the Order begins to only serve the rich while the less fortunate are constantly vulnerable to attack. The growing wealth gap between rich and poor sparks a rebellion against the aristocracy. The Order is then made to start fighting the less fortunate humans they once swore to protect. Transcript: Thousands of years ago, in an alternate timeline, a sliver of humanity evolved to gain distinct bestial traits. This evolutionary split led to an interspecies conflict between humans and half-breeds lasting centuries. King Arthur created The Knights of the Round Table, an order of the world's best warriors and intellectuals, to protect humanity, but due to the sheer strength and numbers of the enemy, they were severely outmatched. Luckily, the order came into possession of a mysterious substance called Blackwater, an elixir that would grant users long life, regenerative properties, and increased strength to help even the odds against the enemy. And with the dawn of the industrial revolution came extravagant and lethal weapons, giving humanity hope in the war against the half-breeds. Despite these advantages, the Order was unable to serve London’s growing population. The rich and privileged eventually became the sole beneficiaries of the Order’s protection while the poor were left vulnerable to attack from the half-breeds still living amongst them. The gap between the rich and poor has sparked open rebellion against the aristocracy, and rumors of the rebels allying with the half-breeds have shaken their confidence. Now, The Order is charged with fighting those they once swore to protect.

This proved to be a blessing in disguise as Sony much preferred the “Neo-Victorian” London setting. Weapons like the Victorian-era AK-47 or the high-voltage Arc Gun may seem outlandish for the 19th century, but their designs were based on concepts and technologies that existed in that time period, even pulling from the works of inventors Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. Ready at Dawn paid special attention to even the smallest details, going as far as 3D scanning 1800s era textiles down to sub-millimeter precision. This process captured the textures down to the lint and fuzz, allowing for lifelike behavior against any lighting conditions or character movement. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1DDcYYL Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

In 2005, Ru Weerasuriya began writing concepts for a new game based real historical events. He decided upon a new story that takes us to an alternate timeline with ties to King Arthur and his knights of the round table and Victorian London. Sony was intrigued by a "Neo-Victorian" London setting in an alternate timeline, which led to Sony approving the project for development on the then unannounced Next-Gen system that would be Playstation 4. Inspired by Uncharted’s cinematic techniques and massive set pieces, Ready at Dawn sought to make The Order “filmic,” meaning they were out to shoot the game as much as they were developing it. Ru, an amateur photographer, created in-engine lenses emulated from his real life camera kit to give The Order a visual style typical of a Hollywood blockbuster. Now, after five years in development and nearly a decade since they opened their doors, Ready at Dawn finally has their shot at both an original IP and their first triple-A title unhindered by limitations of a handheld console.

It was built using a modified version of the GoldenEye 007 engine. Perfect Dark was released May 22, 2000 on the N64 and was subsequently released on the Game Boy Color August 2000. It is considered one of the most advanced games built for the Nintendo 64 featuring high-resolution graphics and Dolby Surround Sound. The game launched with big commercial success selling more than three million units worldwide. This led to the development of many more properties for the Perfect Dark series including a prequel as well as novels, comic books and other merchandise. Gameplay: The game features a single-player mode with seventeen missions as well as multiplayer options. Perfect Dark is a first-person shooter where players control agent Joanna Dark through seventeen missions to stop a conspiracy led by dataDyne corporation. The gameplay is very similar to it’s predecessor, GoldenEye 007. In game, players can move through levels by crouching, ducking and leaning. Players have access to a vast range of weapons including: Handguns, Rifles, Submachine Guns, a Shotgun, Rocket Launchers, Combat Knives, Grenade Launchers, Various Explosives and Several Extraterrestrial Weapons. Players can carry an unlimited amount of weapons which have a primary and secondary mode for using the weapon in different ways as melee weapons. Players must complete certain objectives to pass each level. There are three difficulty settings for each level which will affect aspects of the objectives to complete. If all levels are completed on highest difficulty, players can unlock a setting titled “Perfect Dark” in which players can customize many aspects of abilities. There are three multiplayer systems including: Co-operative mode, Counter Operative mode and Combat Simulator. In Cooperative mode, two players or one player with many computer can complete missions together. In Counter Operative mode, one player plays the missions as Joanna while the other player plays the enemy to try to stop Joanna from completing the missions. In Combat Simulator, players enter the game unarmed with weapons and ammunition being placed around the map. In Combat Simulator, there are different scenarios including: deathmatch mode, capture the flag or king of the hill, hold the briefcase and hacker central. Transcript: Joanna Dark was born into a tough life. Her mother died shortly after childbirth and Joanna grew up with terrible spinal damage that required extensive experimental procedures. Thinking that wasn't enough for a young kid to handle, Joanna's father Jack Dark, began training her for his line of work at age seven: fighting, firearms, and tracking criminals; everything a bounty hunter needed to know. Joanna didn’t socialize well growing up and spent most of her time in virtual reality training programs like DeathMatchVR, creating the most beautiful and socially awkward female lead since Zooey Deschanel put on a yellow sun dress. On Joanna's first field mission, her father is killed, further scarring the tortured yet angelic killer. During this tragic event she is also introduced to and employed by the Carrington Institute, quickly becoming their top agent. Secretly, the Carrington Institute has been working with an alien race known as the Maians who have been at war with the lizard-like extraterrestrials called the Skedar.

The series currently has fourteen games which have been released on many platforms including: Family Computer, Super Famicom, Game Boy Advance,GameCube, Nintendo DS, Wii and Nintendo 3DS. All Fire Emblem games were exclusive to Japan until 2003 when they released the 7th game in the series Gameplay: Fire Emblem games consist of moving units through a map in order to defeat the enemies. Players are able to strategically position and move their units to complete mission objectives such as defeating a boss, seizing a base and surviving every turn. Fire Emblem also uses story building aspects such as those used in traditional role-playing games including: units gaining experience points, the player visiting shops to buy weapons and equipment for units and scripted scenes to build the plot. Combat in the game is determined by a number of attributes and factors including: HP, Damage, Strength, Defense, Magic and Resistance, Speed as well as luck (i.e. “critical strikes” causing increased damage). History: Fire Emblem takes place on six continents including: Archanea, Valentia, Jugdral, Elibe, Magvel and Tellius. The backstory of Fire Emblem takes places thousands of years ago when humans and dragons lived peacefully together on the continent of Elibe. After the Scouring, a war in which the humans declared war on the dragons, the dragons were never to be seen again on Elb. Fire Emblem takes place a millenium later beginning with a young girl named Lyn. Awards & Reviews: -Fire Emblem received 9.5 rating by IGN in 2003. -Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo ranked #68 in Famitsu’s Top 100 Games list -Fire Emblem has consistently received high rankings on GameRankings.com Transcript: Thousands of years ago, humans and dragons lived in harmony on the continent of Elibe. That is, until the humans naturally declared all out war on the dragons. This war, known as the Scouring, led to a mass exodus of the dragons who were never to be seen again. A millenium later, a young girl named Lyn learned she is the granddaughter of the current Marquess and therefore the rightful heir to Caelin. News of this inheritance is spoiled slightly by her grandfather's brother, Lundgren, trying to kill her and her grandfather so he can claim the throne for himself. On top of that, a guild of assassins and mercenaries known as the Black Fang have been using humanoid creatures known as morphs to kill people and steal their quintessence, or life energy. No one knows their exact intentions, but it’s rumored that the Black Fang are attempting to reopen a portal using the stolen quintessence to bring the dragons back. Lyn recruits you, both conveniently a master tactician and unconscious on the side of the road, to defeat Lundgren, the Black Fang, and save the world from another devastating war against the dragons.

Épisode 320 - LORE - F-Zero Lore in a Minute! - Captain Falcon - Original Racing Game

​​​StephenPlays is here with your F-Zero Lore! Subscribe for more Lore: http://bit.ly/MoarLore See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Follow Lore on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute StephenPlays brings you the backstory on the F-Zero video game brought to you by: Lore in a minute! F-zero is a video game developed by Nintendo for the SNES gaming console. About F-Zero: F-Zero takes place during the 2050's after which humanity has been in contact with alien life where billionaires and aliens create the F-Zero races which are similar to Formula One races. These races take place on a track with vehicles that hover above the track. Players can choose between four video game characters and race in various leagues. Gameplay: Players can choose from four unique F-zero characters, each with their own abilities. Players race each other while trying to avoid slip zones, magnets and other debris to keep players on the edge of their seat the entire race. Each player has a certain amount of energy which is determined by the number of collisions they have. When players hit another vehicle, crash into land mines or the side of the track, their energy decreases. Races in F-zero last five laps around the track and for each lap, players are rewarded with the “Super Jet”, a speed boost, as well as points. There are two game modes in F-Zero which include: -Grand Prix Mode - A player chooses a league and races other players in all the tracks in that league. -Practice Mode - Where a player is able to practice seven courses from the Grand Prix Mode. F-Zero has three leagues, Knight, Queen, and King, which include a total of fifteen tracks. The game has three difficulty levels including: beginner, standard, and expert for each league. Players can unlock master difficulty once they complete all the tracks in that league on expert class. Characters: In the original F-Zero game players can choose from four initial characters: Captain Falcon, Samurai Goroh, Pico and Stewart. Captain Falcon, also known as Douglas Jay Falcon, was created by Takaya Imamura and Shigeru Miyamoto. Captain Falcon’s vehicle is the Blue Falcon and he is known as a bounty hunter and a successful F-Zero pilot. Dr. Stewart who races in the Golden Fox is a Doctor who joins the races after the death of his father. Pico drives the Wild Goose and is rumored to be a contract killer with a fast ride! And last, Samurai Goroh drives the Fire Stingray and is the boss of a bunch of bandits who live in Red Canyon. Awards & Reviews: -F-Zero joined the Player’s Choice line after selling a million copies -In 2003, IGN ranked F-Zero as the 91st best game ever and 97th in 2005. -F-Zero was praised for its strong use of SNES’s proprietary Mode-7 technology which gave it a very 3D look and feel. Good: High quality graphics at the time of launch, great soundtrack and strong gameplay Bad: F-Zero does not have a multiplayer mode. Transcript: Back in the 20th century, mankind was seized by a mass hysteria -- a paralyzing fear of anything and everything alien. But it’s the 26th century now and those xenophobes are gone, replaced not by respect for all life forms, but rather, the desire to crush all other competitors through unnecessary wealth and luxury. Thus, an intergalactic trade federation was established across the planets in the universe, including worlds with totally cool names like Death Wind, Silence, and White Land. Those with oodles and oodles of money soon grew weary of their hedonistic lifestyles; they had a need for speed the only way the wealthy could dream up. We’re talking about racetracks hundreds of feet in the air with anti-gravity guide beams, landmines, and other novel traps that could kill man and alien alike. Racers from all walks of life came to compete in this death-defying challenge, including a mysterious bounty hunter, a weird alien hitman, and a fat Japanese man. The inaugural race was brutal, leaving many maimed and scarred for life. People were outraged...and then they got used to it and demanded more blood. So are you ready for the fastest, most punishing race in the galaxy? Grab your race car and find out whether or not you can survive this grand prix known simply as...F-Zero.

With the power to eat anything without indigestion, Kirby defends Dream Land on the planet Pop Star. One day, after an unsatisfying nap, Kirby discovered that the citizens of Dream Land were no longer able to have dreams! The pink hero marched to the Dream Spring, the collection of hopes and source of dreams for the entire planet. Kirby was searching for answers, but instead found King Dedede swimming in its magical waters. Apparently, the greedy king had broken the Star Rod, the Dream Spring's source of power, into 7 pieces, giving each piece to seven of his friends. To recapture the missing pieces of the Star Rod, Kirby will have to wipe the floor with Wispy Woods, parry the perplexing powers of Paint Roller, defeat the daring duo of Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright, clash with the clever cloud known as Kracko, heroically hassle the Heavy Mole, duel the mysterious Meta-Knight, and learn a valuable lesson about jumping to conclusions. As Kirby, it's up to you to restore dreams to the citizens of Dream Land.

The story about the development of Kirby for the Kirby video game is a story about the ups and downs of Masahiro Sakurai creating Kirby and bringing HAL laboratory 5 Billion Yuan in Debt. Nintendo the video game maker decided to make an investment with HAL laboratory which brought the Kirby character and franchise to success History About the Creation of Kirby: The creation of the Kirby video game character as a simple ball-like character was designed to be a placeholder until another character could be created. Created by 19 year old Masahiro Sakurai, Kirby's design was only meant to be a placeholder until another character could be created to be the game's protagonist, but Sakurai eventually believed Kirby was the best fit for the game. Kirby was named after John Kirby, the American lawyer who successfully defended a young Nintendo company in the landmark legal case Universal City Studios, Inc. vs. Nintendo Co., Ltd. when Nintendo was sued over the similarity of Donkey Kong to Universal's King Kong. HAL Laboratories designed the boxart for the Kirby titles with a cute depiction of the character but Nintendo of America insisted that packaging in the United States represent a stronger, tougher character to appeal to an American audience. Characteristics: Kirby comes from the planet Pop Star where he resides in a home in Cream Land. Kirby was created as a pink, ball-like character with large red feet. His body is flexible which allows him to stretch, turn into different shapes and inhale other objects/characters. Kirby has a very upbeat, cheerful personality whose hobbies include singing. Kirby’s signature move is inhaling enemies and gaining their abilities before spitting them back out. He can also fly by filling himself up with air. However, in Kirby’s Dream Land, Kirby did not have the copy abilities but instead collected power ups to gain different abilities.

Épisode 323 - LORE - Kirby Game Development - Kirby Dev Lore in a Minute! - HAL Laboratory

7 mars 2015

​​​NintendoFanFTW is here with your Kirby Dev Lore! Subscribe for more Lore: http://bit.ly/MoarLore See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Follow Lore on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute The story about the creation of the Kirby video game franchise makes for some of the greatest in video game history. Lore in a minute and NintendoFanFTW brings you the story about the development behind the Kirby video game series by Masahiro Sakurai. The first game created in the Kirby franchise was Kirby's Dream Land which initially launched for the Game Boy handheld console in 1992. Kirby's Dream Land originally launched in Japan on April 27 1992 and was subsequently launched in North America on August 1, 1992. History of HAL Laboratory: While spending their free time playing video games, college students Masahito Tanimura and Satoru Iwata founded HAL Laboratory with some friends originally creating scanners and trackballs. At HAL Laboratory, they eventually started porting popular games such as Pac Man and developing puzzles and games for MSX Computers. After years of successful projects and developments, a 19 year old HAL Laboratory employee, Masahiro Sakurai, began developing a simple game aimed at beginners. He designed the main character, originally called Twinkle Popopo, who later became the famous Kirby character. Creation of the Kirby Franchise: At the time, HAL Laboratory had amassed a 5 billion yuan debt before the video game creator Nintendo made an investment to make Kirby a household name and save HAL Laboratory from financial ruin. . After the creation of Kirby's Dream Land, HAL laboratory launched Kirby's Adventure, giving Kirby the power to swallow enemies and gain their abilities, which brought the Kirby franchise to grow into one of Nintendo’s most famous video games. Transcript: In 1980, college students Masahito Tanimura and Satoru Iwata spent their free time playing video games at the Seibu Department store. Renting a nearby apartment together, they founded HAL Laboratory with some friends. Originally making scanners and trackballs, they eventually ported games like Pac Man and developed puzzle games for MSX Computers. When Nintendo took the world by storm, the guys at HAL called everyone they knew to get an interview. Humbly taking an assignment to fix an overdue Pinball game, they eventually earned more lucrative assignments. In the early 90's Masahiro Sakurai, a 19 year old HAL Laboratory employee, began developing a platform game especially for beginning gamers. He designed a simple character they soon called Twinkle Popopo, but Nintendo insisted on renaming the little bubble Kirby. Unfortunately, after developing Kirby's Dream Land, HAL Laboratory was 5 billion yen in debt. Seeing the promise of the young developer and its pleasingly simple character, Nintendo invested in the company, saving it from financial ruin. In return, HAL Laboratory developed the critically-acclaimed sequel, Kirby's Adventure. Giving Kirby the power to swallow his enemies and copy their abilities, they cemented the pink protagonist as one of Nintendo's most beloved characters.

Without explanation from your foster father, the powerful mage Gorion, you leave the city under the cover of night and are ambushed by a group of mercenaries.

These mystical fixtures also come at the cost; taking away their users' memories in exchange for their gifts. Around each crystal, nations were formed. The first is the Dominion of Rubrum, home to the Vermillion Bird Crystal, where a group of eight mages run both the territory and the Dominion's prestigious magic school. The second is The aggressive Milites Empire, which uses its White Tiger Crystal to create weapons and magical-tech for all of its inhabitants. The third is the Kingdom of Concordia, a female-led monarchy where the Azure Dragon Crystal is used to communicate and work with...you guessed it...dragons. And last is the Lorican Alliance, where the Black Tortoise Crystal is tapped by its knights to get ripped. Peace existed as it often does at the start of RPGs until the Milites military attacked the mages of Rubrum, using the advanced magical tech given to them by their Crystal and disabling the Dominion's, rendering their army of mages de-powered and useless. You are one of the youngest mages at Rubrum school. As your nation is invaded you realize for some mysterious reason you still have magical powers.

But when Ordallia's King Devanne III died without an heir apparent, Ivalice's King Denamda II made a play for the throne, resulting in a fifty-year war between the two kingdoms. The war was costly for both sides, but particularly for Ivalice. The war was resolved in a truce, but Ordallia had the upper hand and it was really an Ivalice surrender in everything but name. The numerous peasant families who gave their lives to the war were also never paid rightful dues from Ivalice, creating a massive power vacuum of a few powerful nobles controlling most of the kingdom. Not only that, but the kingdom's biggest influence, The Church of Glabados, worships a divine figure who is actually possessed by a Lucavi demon known as Ultima, who seeks to free herself and her brethren forever. Now Ivalice's ruler, King Omdoria, has died… also without an heir. Two rival royals, known as the White and Black Lions respectively, seek to control Ivalice's likely successor: King Omdoria's half-sister whom he had adopted as his daughter. You are Ramza, a sellsword hired to protect the young would-be queen.

Ross: http://www.youtube.com/user/vghangover https://twitter.com/metaly Transcript: In the European-esque kingdom of Valendia, House Nalzarc ruled peacefully for over a millennium until the corrupt Regency of Gurunas took over. Everyone became jaded, wishing for the good old days of magic, monsters, and everyone being nice. Eventually civil war broke out and House Gurunas was defeated with the help of House Bardorba, clearly the best dudes. In the middle of Valendia sits one of its oldest cities, Leá Monde, founded millennia ago by the dancer-slash-dark-priestess Müllenkamp. Recently, Parliament tried to harness its dark power through secret rituals and sacrifices, eventually causing an earthquake that turned the city into undead-infested ruins… you know, typical government stuff. Decades later, political scheming in Valendia is at an all-time high. After Müllenkamp cultists take Duke Bardorba’s family hostage, the church sends its knights, the Crimson Blades, to deal with them. Not to be left out, Parliament sends you, Ashley Riot, after the cult’s leader, Sydney. The good news: You are an elite “Riskbreaker” agent, basically the Final Fantasy version of Solid Snake and master of all forms of combat. The bad news: Sydney has fled to the depths of Leá Monde and to get to him you’ll have to fight through every type of monster imaginable. Oh, also you’ve been framed for the Duke’s murder so now pretty much everyone wants you dead.

The ancient city is a center of medical knowledge once run by the Healing Church. Long ago, a place now called Old Yharnam was cursed with an endemic illness known as the plague of beasts. The afflicted mutated into bloodthirsty monsters and as the plague spread, the deranged townspeople began to hunt these creatures for they, too, have been unknowingly afflicted with the feverish desire to kill beasts and outsiders alike. In response, the Healing Church blocked off all entrances to the Cathedral Ward and burned Old Yharnam to the ground. Naturally, you find it necessary to enter Yharnam and unravel its mystery. Upon arrival, you find Iosefka's Clinic and undergo a blood transfusion, becoming infected with Yharnam blood that makes you both more than human and human no more.

Like the Souls titles, Bloodborne contains references to the Manga Series "Berserk" by Kentaro Miura. The Blood Echoes symbol mirrors the Brand of Sacrifice - and the Ancient Guard Dog boss shares many design cues with Guts' Inner Beast. During the alpha test, a player managed to get into the restricted area of the game and was killed in a boss encounter. Upon dying, the boss says "Umbasa," which suggests Bloodborne might exist in the same universe as Demon Souls, though Miyazaki may simply be paying homage to the game that started it all.

With this, producer Hidetaka Miyazaki proposed development to be on the next generation console. Like the Souls series, From Software wanted the game to be challenging. They wanted players to feel like they could die at any moment and feel a true sense of accomplishment in living through each encounter. At the same time, they wanted the game to be distinctly different from the other series; not only through a new story and gothic horror setting, but through its gameplay as well. Miyazaki felt that the use of swords and shields in the Soul series combat system made for a much more passive combat experience. The Victorian era setting as opposed to a medieval one allowed the team to remove the sluggish platemail and cumbersome shield and add a firepower component, leading to the more aggressive and active style of combat. With the success of their previous titles lingering, From Software released Bloodborne not just for the eager Demons Souls fans, but for new players to enjoy suffering through as well. Have Fun!

Unfortunately, most of Earthrealm's heroes died in the process and Raiden had to kill his champion and #1 fan, Liu Kang. Eventually, the Elder Gods stepped in to stop Kahn, but left Raiden to find new protectors for Earthrealm. Now years later, Aztec blood god, Kotal Kahn, has risen to power in Outworld, but the clone princess, Mileena, hopes to regain the throne with the power of a mysterious amulet. Earthrealm was content to let them battle, but Erron Black, one of Kotal Kahn's allies, kidnapped Cassie Cage, the ball-busting daughter of Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage. Meanwhile, a powerful demon has crossed the weakened barrier between Earthrealm and the Netherrealm. In response, Raiden tracked down the cursed daggers known as Kamidogu. One dagger was given to Sub Zero and another to the reformed Scorpion but the dagger possessed one of his pupils and slaughtered his entire clan. With a new generation of fighters, you must uncover the curse of the Kamidogu, learn the secret of Mileena's amulet, survive the forces of Kotal Kahn, and reveal the mastermind behind all the coming fatalities.

Then, Ed Boon, still after 20 years, maps out fatalities with stick figures because he is embarrassed by his drawing ability. The gory sound effects in Mortal Kombat X were made by squishing a gooey substance in a bowl with a toilet plunger and smashing various fruits, vegetables and nuts with a hammer. In response to issues with Mortal Kombat 2011's online game play, the developers programmed Mortal Kombat X with the "Quitality" which will instantly kill the character of anyone quitting an online match abruptly to avoid losing.

Smith: https://www.youtube.com/user/radicaladz https://twitter.com/RadicalAdZ Animated by Scott Falco: https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Transcript: In the early 90's the fighting game genre exploded into the mainstream after the release of Street Fighter 2. With a desire to develop original games, Midway Games, known for arcade game localization, merged with Williams Industries, teaming artist John Tobias with programmer Ed Boon on a fighting game based on the film, Universal Soldier. Despite the film license falling through, development continued using digitized photographs to create realistic sprites. Tobias and Boon paired this with buckets of animated blood and released the smash hit, Mortal Kombat! Gamers lined up at the arcade, but many parents were appalled by the bountiful gore and savage fatalities. When the game was ported to home consoles, concerned parent groups fought for censorship. Super Nintendo colored the blood grey to resemble sweat and removed some fatalities, while Sega Genesis included a code for players to unlock the blood and gore. Naturally, the Sega version outsold its tame Nintendo counterpart and a bloodier sequel was in high demand. Over the years, fighting games have come and gone, but Mortal Kombat continues to call gamers back to a simpler time when after school, a good friend would rip your spine from your mutilated body.

Controlling much of the ironwood forests, whose valuable trees have been used for the construction of weapons, ships, and for Ned Stark to chop fleeing members of the Night Watch with, the Forresters’ stronghold, Ironrath, has remained impenetrable from attackers, including their sworn rivals, House Whitehill. Led by Lord Gregor, the Forresters remain loyal to the King of the North, Robb Stark, during the battle for the Iron Throne, putting them in direct conflict with the scheming Lannisters. While Ironrath itself is beyond the reach of the War, Lord Gregor’s family is scattered across Westeros; this includes his eldest daughter, Mira, a handmaiden in the politically dangerous King’s Landing and his second son, the hot-headed Asher, banished to the slave cities in Essos for falling in love with a member of House Whitehill. As conflict rages on, loyalty between houses of the North have begun to waver. With the Forresters and Whitehills fighting side-by-side, even a normally joyous affair, such as a wedding, may end in violence. You must now take control of the Forrester clan, survive the torrential bloodbath of the War, and protect your family’s home and legacy from your enemies.

The idea of the Song of Fire and Ice series came to George R.R. Martin in 1991 while he was a TV writer in Hollywood. He imagined dire wolves in the snow and began writing the first chapter, focusing on the realism and grittiness of the medieval times. After that, he started furiously drawing the sprawling maps of Westeros. Many studios had approached George RR Martin to adapt his novel series into feature films, but having worked in Hollywood before, Martin remained skeptical. When David Benioff and D.B. Weiss pitched it as a TV series on HBO and correctly guessed Jon Snow’s yet-to-be revealed mother, Martin knew he found the right folks to adapt his novels. --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

There was peace throughout the land until one day, his son kidnapped Lyanna Stark and sent the North into a fury. Her father and brother went to the capital to seek justice, but winter did not come. The Mad King demanded that Ned be turned over too, but the Starks, Baratheons, and Arryns had other plans. Robert was engaged to Lyanna and would not sit while his beloved was held hostage by the Targaryens, sparking Robert's Rebellion. The war raged on for nearly a year, with Robert killing the Targaryen prince himself at the Battle of The Trident. The Lannisters, originally aligned with the Targaryens, paid their debts to the Mad King by sending Jamie Lannister to murder him. But before they could be killed, Viserys Targaryen and his newborn sister Daenerys, were whisked away to Essos, hoping one day to return to Westeros to claim their place on the Iron Throne. However, the dragons that once put the Targaryens into power have long been extinct, and like the Whitewalkers beyond the wall, are now only a myth. And so begins the Game of Thrones… and the tricky process of which characters to emotionally invest yourself in next.

LORE brings you fast facts on Super Mario 64 and the history of mario characters. Creation of Super Mario MIPS Rabbit: Nintendo creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, created a simple garden test level where they worked on Mario's controls by chasing MIPS the rabbit, which was one of the very first things made for the game. The developers liked the rabbit so much they left him in the game. MIPS, named after the Nintendo 64's processor, has since appeared in recent games like Super Mario 3D World. Super Mario Thomps Creatures: Thomps, which debuted as enemies in the game, are inspired by a Japanese mythological creature known as "Nurikabe". This Super Mario Character is supposedly able to expand infinitely in size and take the form off walls to trick travelers and dumb people. Luigi Character & History: The Luigi character was originally going to be in the game as a playable character. The developers planned for the gameplay to start with Mario and Luigi at different spots of the castle and work their way through together. Unfortunately Luigi was cut, forever dooming him as the franchise benchwarmer. Mario History: The Super Mario Franchise became a big hit with the original launch of the Super Mario video game series. The game follows the adventures of Mario through Mushroom Kingdom where he is usually accompanied by Luigi, his brother, and other members of the Super Mario cast. Super Mario 64 brought the Mario characters to life in a 3D multi dimensional game world.

Miyamoto planned to use the SNES's "Super FX" chip, initially calling the game Super Mario FX. Though the game was then shifted to the Super Mario 64, not because of system limitations but because the 64 controller had more buttons. During this same time, Nintendo third party developer Argonaut Software, which had helped develop the Super FX chip, began work on their 3D platforming demo using Yoshi as the lead. Miyamoto rejected the game when pitched to him but used it for inspiration on his own title. That Yoshi prototype went on to become the Playstation and Saturn game "Crock: Legend of the Gobbos". One of the game's first and biggest projects was setting up its camera system, a revolutionary choice that became a standard for platformers. Initially the game used an isometric view similar to the one seen in Super Mario RPG. Traces of this can still be found in the Bowser levels of the game. The game went on to instant acclaim both critically and commercially, becoming the best selling N64 game of all time and ensuring that Nintendo would continue to make Mario games forever. And ever. Until the end of time.

Before he was Stan Lee, he was your friendly neighborhood teenager, Stanley Lieber, who dreamt of writing the next Great American Novel. Stan Lee held various earthly jobs in his youth that included writing obituaries, delivering sandwiches, and selling newspaper subscriptions before he became an assistant at Timely Comics.

After revolutionizing comic books, Stan launched an iron-fisted invasion of the cinema world and spearheaded the Marvel assault on Hollywood. With Stan developing and producing, Marvel enjoyed another staggering victory on the silver screen as Hollywood fell in love with the flawed superhero archetype. But the work of producing films while presiding over a multi-million dollar company began to wear, and Stan decided it was time to step down as president of Marvel. Stan Lee Biography: Stan Lee, or Stanley Lieber, is an American comic book writer, media producer and the former chairman and president of Marvel Comics. He is most known for his collaborations with Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko creating some of Marvel’s finest superheroes including: Iron Man, The Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, and the X-Men.

Well, good luck cause Pendleton Ward doesn’t accept fan-made submissions. However, there have been some exceptions, including the kid-drawn Me-Mow and the gender-swapped versions of Finn and Jake: Fionna and Cake. There's one character who appears in more episodes of Adventure Time than even Finn and Jake! Snail can be found in all but two episodes, often breaking the fourth wall by waving directly at the camera. But there are hints that something more is at play... While it's well-known that the voice of Jake is also Bender on Futurama, you may recognize Ice King as Spongebob Squarepants, Spyro the Dragon, and Rabbit in Winnie the Pooh. Meanwhile, Princess Bubblegum is Starfire in Teen Titans and The Lich is none other than Hellboy. - Adventure Time History: Adventure Time takes place after a nuclear war, “The Great Mushroom War”, leaves most of human civilization in ruins in the “Land of Ooo”.

Unlike many kids his age, he wasn’t interested in the popular Disney cartoons. Instead, he was drawn to the adult humor of The Simpsons, imaginative but terrible post-apocalyptic movies like Waterworld, and making up worlds and stories about orcs and flesh golems during D&D sessions. Ward excelled during his time at CalArts, creating absurd characters like those in his webcomic, Bueno the Bear. After graduation, Eric Homan from Frederator Studios approached Ward to pitch an animated short. Ward showed up to the meeting with a guitar, singing the opening theme song for his idea, Adventure Time. Airing on Nickelodeon’s Random! Cartoons in 2007 and released online, the seven-minute short -- about a boy named Pen and his levitating dog who could access the Internet with his mind -- went viral. Despite the success, Nickelodeon rejected making Adventure Time into a series...twice. While working on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Ward and his team continued building the world of Adventure Time, fleshing out the Land of Ooo and its adorably grotesque mutant inhabitants. They then pitched to Cartoon Network and after a few grueling rewrites, Adventure Time premiered in April 2010 to critical acclaim, ushering in a new era of animation. Have fun!

The best hope to battle these vile evils? Witchers; hunters trained and transformed by magic at an exceptionally early age in all manner of defeating monsters. One of the most infamous- and sexy- of Witchers is Geralt of Rivia (who isn't actually from Rivia). As Geralt fought across the country, he also loved; and his affections fell upon the powerful sorceress Yennefer. During his many travels of ghostbusting, Geralt saved the life of Princess Pavetta and her husband Duny. Using an old and rather creepy custom known as the Law of Surprise, Geralt asked to be repaid with the couple's unborn child. Totally not weird at all. When she grew older, Geralt eventually took Ciri to the Witcher training grounds of Kaer Morhen to partake in the deadly practices that made him the white-haired warrior he is today. There the girl began her own epic journey. Geralt endured his own hardships; during a riot against non-humans, Geralt was nearly killed and he awoke with no memory of his past. This affliction continued for a while, and The Witcher fought and loved anew. It isn't until now, that Geralt's memories of Yennifer, Ciri, and the debts he has yet to repay have returned.

No one knows if he finished the game. Triss Merigold made the cover of Polish Playboy magazine to promote The Witcher 2, which really showed all the amateur fan artists on the internet what's what. Not only that, the Russian publisher of the game also released a nude calendar of Triss because that’s naturally the best way to market a video game. The Witcher 3 has a "dynamic beard system" where Geralt's beard grows longer and more intense over the course of the game's story. If players want a more groomed Witcher, they're offered free "shaving" DLC.

Subscribe for more Lore: http://bit.ly/MoarLore See what's next on Maker.TV ► http://mker.tv/Lore Follow Lore on Twitter: https://twitter.com/loreinaminute Written by Chad Quandt https://www.youtube.com/user/TajesMahoney Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr: http://jakeparrthevoice.weebly.com/ Animated by Corax: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa_Mp1VOHiZLwmuQQPbdT4g TRANSCRIPT: Back in the ancient land of 1986 Poland, Andrzej Sapkowski had never considered writing, besides some work translating sci-fi. However, when a fantasy magazine called Fantastyka ran a short story contest, Andrzej submitted his first ever; a tale of a mutant hunter named Geralt otherwise called a "Hexer". While he came in third place, the story was a hit and Sapkowski set to work writing more small tales, creating a saga about this man Geralt that eventually spun off into numerous products including a TV show, comic book, and most importantly a videogame. That project, started in 1996 by Polish studio Metropolis, was led by game director Adrian Chmierlarz (who would later go on to co-own People Can Fly). He renamed the term "hexer" to the still-slightly-confusing term "The Witcher." The game was cancelled, but the name stuck. Later in 2002, videogame distributors Michał Kiciński and Marcin Iwiński started up a new Polish studio under the name CD Projekt RED.

After meeting future producing partner, Byron Kennedy, at a summer film workshop, the pair produced short films to local acclaim, then decided it was time to tackle a feature. Teaming with writer James McCausland, the trio drew inspiration from the 1973 oil crisis, horrified by the violence erupting at local gas stations. Miller pitched a dystopian futuristic setting for the film and Mad Max was born, but only if they could raise enough money. A 40 page presentation was shopped to investors and they even raised funds responding to medical emergencies with Kennedy driving and Miller providing treatment. With a $400,000 budget, they stretched every dollar. American actors were overlooked for cheaper Australian alternatives (launching Mel Gibson's career), members of the Vigilantes were cast as bikers because they brought their own motorcycles, costumes were made with cheap vinyl, and the film was shot on country roads where they wouldn't be hounded for permits. In the end, their guerrilla film paid off as it grossed $100 million worldwide, spawned two sequels, and recently had a new installment Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron with George Miller again at the helm.

Benders posses the ability to manipulate one of the elements associated with the four nations: the adaptable Water Tribes, the enduring Earth Kingdom, the headstrong Fire Nation, and the spiritual Air Nomads. Only one has the ability to bend all four elements: The Avatar. The Avatar is the bridge between the mortal and spirit world, maintaining balance in both realms and among the four nations. After death, their spirit reincarnates into the next nation, providing a spiritual connection to their past lives. After the death of Roku, the last known Avatar, Fire Lord Sozin harnessed the power of a comet to unleash a devastating attack on the Air Nation, hoping to capture the next Avatar as an inexperienced youth and halt the cycle. When Sozin wiped out the Air Nomads, the Water and Earth nations fought back, sparking the Great War. With the Avatar missing for the last hundred years, hope fades that the Fire Nation will ever be stopped. It’s now up to the Water Tribe siblings Katara and Sokka to assemble the prepubescent Team Avatar, seek out Bending Masters, and knock over cabbage carts to defeat Fire Lord Ozai’s team of a dishonored prince, crazy princess entourage, and tea-loving uncle before summer’s end.

While working as a storyboard artist on Invader Zim, Konietzko was asked to pitch a series to Nickelodeon about “legends and lore.” Partnering with DiMartino, they began with sketches of a middle-aged bald man, a robot cyclops monkey, and an armored dog. Eventually, they combined their sketch ideas to create a bald boy and his sidekicks. While DiMartino was invested in the polar explorations of Ernest Shackleton, Konietzko, during a yoga session, made the connection between icy landscapes and the young boy they drew. Konietzko hurriedly drove over to DiMartino’s house and the two came up with the idea of fire people attacking a water tribe. In a three-hour pitch, the duo impassionately spoke about elemental nations at war and were approved to create a pilot with one major caveat: action without violence. The concept of bending the elements came to them and they hired martial arts consultants to devise distinct fighting styles. Borrowing from Asian art and mythology, their pilot performed well and was approved for a 13-episode season. The first episode of Avatar: the Last Airbender was a rousing success as the world of Aang, Katara, and Zuko attracted an audience both young and old at record numbers, spawning two additional seasons, a TV sequel, and a film.

World of Warcraft NPC and Indiana Jones parody, Harrison Jones, can be discovered in the Tomb of The Spider Queen map grabbing a spider gem artifact and starting his quest. By clicking on a specific manhole cover, you can see how his adventure ends on the Sky Temple battleground when he escapes a giant spider on his magic carpet. All of the Heroes (of the Storm) have custom dialogue lines, but Diablo's is perhaps the most interesting. One of his idle lines, which may sound like devilish barking is actually a backwards message that when reversed is “Good children look both ways before crossing the street.” --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1BMrtWH Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

The game featured a robust custom map maker, but one mod rose to immense popularity: Defense of the Ancients. The mod was passed from modder to modder, from Euls to Guinsoo to IceFrog, running the game long after Warcraft 3's popularity had faded. And thus, a new genre was born; the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, or MOBA. DotA continued on as a free mod for years, and numerous other developers started to make standalone genre spinoffs, yet Blizzard stood back and watched. It wasn't until 2010 when Starcraft 2 launched that the team hoped to showcase the new map-making tools to inspire the mod scene. In their office sat a custom arcade cabinet that depicted all their franchises together. Taking inspiration from that, Blizzard Dota was created. The game was in development for two years and focused on making it easy for newcomers to pick up and play and emphasized team fighting over solo engagements. It wasn't until 2012 that the developers realized the game needed to be a standalone title, and thus the game formerly known as Blizzard DOTA and Blizzard All-Stars became Heroes of the Storm.

And so, in 1984, the first dinosaur was born... again. InGen CEO John Hammond saw potential for profit and created a safari amusement park on the island of Isla Nublar. In 1993, the team of scientists led by Dr. Alan Grant, are tasked with investigating the park’s safety were immediately mauled by the park’s attractions, resulting in its closure. Four years later, Hammond's nephew, Peter Ludlow brought the dinosaur park to San Diego, and once again faced disastrous results. In 2001, Dr. Alan Grant, desperate for funding, returns to the island and barely escapes with his life. InGen has since been acquired by the Masrani Global Corporation… and naturally, they decide to build another amusement park because third time’s a charm, I guess. The new Jurassic World park opened its doors in 2005, capturing the imaginations of everyone, everywhere. But soon, the world grew tired of the same old, AMAZING, living, breathing dinosaurs. To combat poor park attendance, Dr. Wu had the fantastic idea to engineer a hybrid monstrosity lovingly named Indominus Rex. In the weeks before its unveiling, Velociraptor trainer Owen Grady is offered a job to check on the new super predator’s paddock for any security breaches... and of course it’s already too late.

The T-Rex roar was a mix of tiger, alligator, and baby elephants while the dilophosaurus had some howler monkeys, rattlesnakes, hawks, and swans. Best of all? The velociraptors’ communications were created from the sweet, sweet sound of tortoise copulation. Totally ignoring the film’s message that men shouldn’t play God, there have been real-life attempts to recreate events in Jurassic Park. Paleontologist and Jurassic Park advisor, Jack Horner, is researching how to make a chickenosaurus, a cross between a dinosaur and a chicken. Sure to please furry aficionados everywhere, an early draft of the Jurassic World script included human-dinosaur hybrids. This plot line would’ve had dinosaur soldiers that could shoot machine guns, problem-solve, and were probably smart enough to know UNIX. --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

But Spielberg had one problem: he didn’t have friends. So, he used his sisters as guinea pigs for his movies, figuring out ways to kill them, decapitating their dolls, and forcing them to look at the sun. The adolescent Spielberg also managed to close off hospitals and airports to film epic stories of Nazis and aliens. By age 20, he’d sneak into the Universal lot, squat in an empty office, and pretend to be a movie executive, eventually signing a contract with Universal. Despite a traumatic directorial debut at the age of 21, his signature style, including track-in shots and filming characters through objects, left executives impressed. He wound up directing Jaws, a man versus nature tale that terrified beachgoers for years. Spielberg decided to use a mechanical shark instead of a real one, and built tension by not showing the shark until an hour into the film. Jaws would go on to be the highest-grossing film at the time. From the success of Jaws, Spielberg would continue to merge fantasy and action with reality, stretching moviegoers’ imaginations with Indiana Jones, E.T., and Jurassic Park while also tackling historical dramas in Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan. His success, critically and commercially, has endured for over three decades, earning him numerous accolades, adoration from fanboys everywhere, and even a cameo in Austin Powers.

After the end of World War II, cities like Tokyo have modernized, and these gods and spirits have all but disappeared from the metropolises. But far off, away from the high-rise buildings and busy streets, lives a forest spirit species called Totoro that can live up to 3,000 years, make the trees grow by dancing, and sleep all day while partying all night by ghost riding the wind. The Totoro are sometimes accompanied by the cat bus -- once the ghost of a regular cat who saw a bus and thought, “Welp! That’s what I wanna become!” In the summer of 1958, a father and his two young daughters, Satsuki and Mei, have moved to the country to be near their ill mother. Little do they know that the spirits of the forest will be there to help them along the way. Or the kids have already died, and Totoro is the God of Death. Just kidding, that’s not true.

This process, while tiresome, has led Miyazaki to declare that no one creates animation like him because...well, no one would want to! During talks with American distributors about releasing Totoro internationally, there was a concern that the scene where the two daughters are bathing with their father would be lost in translation. Studio Ghibli was vehemently against cutting any scenes following the disastrous editing of Nausicaa, and Totoro was released uncensored. Though not explicitly stated in the movie, Mei and Satsuki’s mother likely suffered from a disease similar to spinal tuberculosis, the same disease that afflicted Miyazaki’s own mother, forcing her to live in a hospital in the country during his childhood. Fortunately, she recovered and lived a long life. --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

While studying for college entrance exams, a depressed Miyazaki saw Hakujaden*, fell in love with the heroine, and realized animation’s ability to portray emotion and imaginative worlds. Upon graduating university in political science and economics, Miyazaki decided to work instead as an inbetweener** at Toei-Cine, an animation studio. Working at the bottom of the animation ladder, Miyazaki knew he wanted to “send a message of cheer to all those wandering aimlessly through life.” He was given the opportunity to share his message by directing the 1979 feature film, Castle of Cagliostro, a vibrant action-romantic film***. Soon after, Miyazaki returned to manga, developing Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind, his first full-length feature as a director. Featuring a strong female lead, morally complex characters, and man’s relationship with nature, Nausicaa instantly became a cult classic. In 1985, Miyazaki and his collaborator, Isao Takahata, created their own studio to stay true to their vision of “expressive animation.” Studio Ghibli was founded and Castle in the Sky was released, followed by My Neighbor Totoro. These critically-acclaimed films were lauded for their breath-taking animation and character development. Studio Ghibli would go on to create 20 features, numerous shorts, and a museum, influencing animation studios and artists across the world.

In one of his bloodiest battles, The Joker took control of psych ward Arkham Asylum, unleashing its super-powered denizens upon the island. Batman eventually re-established order, but in the ensuing chaos, the master of terror, Scarecrow, was presumed dead, dragged under water with a barrel of experimental chemicals known as Titan. The aftermath of Arkham Asylum resulted in the construction of a prison district in the middle of Gotham itself. It unsurprisingly didn't go well. In a final battle, Batman struggled with The Joker, who succumbed to Titan poisoning. The Joker's assistant/lover/punching bag Harley Quinn, swore vengeance on The Bat for taking away her beloved. It wasn't Batman's fault, but he got totally hung up about it. During these ordeals, a mysterious figure known only as The Arkham Knight watched remotely from across the planet. The warrior has quietly made his way into Gotham itself, watching Batman from the shadows and starting a takeover of the city with his private army of mercenaries.

If Arkham Asylum has detected you've pirated the game, Batman will be unable to glide with his cape. While frustrating, you won't realize the real sinister nature of this maneuver until the game eventually takes you to a room filling with poisonous gas the glider-less pirates will never be able to escape. The Robins have always had a pretty short life expectancy. The second Robin, Jason Todd, met his end not at the call of the writers, but of the fans. In a 1988 storyline called “A Death In The Family”, DC gave fans a 900 number to call and vote (at a cost of 50 cents) on whether Jason would live or die. With a final count of 5,343 votes to 5,271, Jason perished at the hands of the Joker. Though don't worry, he eventually came back as dark vigilante Red Hood. --------- The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1qhR5bD Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

In his absence Gotham has grown even colder and darker along with the rest of the world, which is still engulfed in The Cold War. The colors and lights of the Golden Age are gone. And in no aspect is that more apparent than what’s happened to the “capes”. While Batman’s disappearance is believed motivated by the death of The Robin Jason Todd, every other super has been driven away by government legislation, becoming a prisoner, or general hate from the populace. That is except for… Superman. While The Flash has been trapped powering a treadmill generator for half the country and The Atom was permanently shrunk and trapped in a petri dish, Big Blue has naively become a government war boy, taking down nukes and enforcing AMERICA! wherever needed. Batman may have retreated into the shadows, but Bruce Wayne still works to better the world. The Wayne Foundation has worked to rehabilitate Batman’s former criminals, including a “cured” Harvey Dent, with a brand new face… but something’s amiss. With the former rogues planning something nefarious, his ally Commissioner Gordon finally retired, and mutant teenage gangs taking over the streets, it’s up to Bruce to don the cowl once again.

The remaining humans form a resistance led by heroic leader, John Connor. John learns that Skynet has sent its cyborg Terminator T-800 back to 1984 to kill his mother to end his human rebellion, so he sends his lieutenant, Kyle Reese, to protect her, secretly knowing that Reese is destined to become his father. At least that's how it was supposed to happen, but when Kyle arrives in 1984, Sarah Connor is waiting for him. It seems Skynet actually attempted to kill Sarah as a baby, but thankfully the resistance sent their own T-800 to protect her. Though her parents were lost in the battle, the T-800 raised and trained Sarah to survive until Kyle's arrival. So... time to start producing resistance leaders? Not so fast! In addition to sending a T-800 and the shape-shifting T-1000 after Kyle and Sarah, Skynet has also transformed John Connor into its newest Terminator, the T-3000. Under fire from their one time ally, Kyle and Sarah must come up with a new plan to prevent Judgement Day.

James Cameron has said that the idea for the film came from a dream he had of a robotic skeleton, but he knew he would never get a large enough budget for a picture set in the future, so he added the time-travel element to keep the story set in the present and therefore cheaper to film. Even in post-production, the studio pushed for the original film to end after the tanker explosion, a happier ending in which all of the human characters would have survived, but Cameron fought for the inclusion of the final scene in the factory, notably the emotional climax of the film and the haunting vision of the walking robotic skeleton. --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Thanks to rising sea levels, these two races became the dominant forces on Earth. Inklings possess many interesting physical traits, focused around the ability to turn into a paint-like squid, swimming through substances at will. The Octarians on the other hand lived underground in caves, fighting for every ounce of power to make their war machines 100 years ago, the two races met in a great war. Thanks to the leadership of a brilliant young tactician, Cap’n Cuttlefish, and an unlucky moment where the Octarians accidentally unplugged their war machine, the Inklings were victorious, ushering in an era of peace. The Inklings used bio-electric organisms called Zapfish to power their city, and Inkopolis rose as a beacon of hope and rastafarian music. But the peace could not last. Zapfish began disappearing, and the now retired Cap’n Cuttlefish suspected dangerous activity in Octo Valley. Knowing the populace wouldn’t believe him, he activated his granddaughter and her friend, Marie and Callie as agents. Already pop stars of Inkopolis, they were the perfect secret vigilantes. Unfortunately, Cuttlefish’s suspicions proved true. The Octarians are back in Inkopolis, quietly stealing Zapfish to power their ancient Octo Weapons. You are the third agent, tapped by Cuttlefish to help your Inkling brethren.

By decreasing distance between atoms, he could shrink objects, and then increase the distance to return them to their original size. The nature of Pym Particles allowed Pym to create a suit of unstable molecules that maintained the same mass and strength at any size which made Ant Man over 1000% stronger in his smaller form. This suit also comes with a helmet, enabling the wearer to talk to ants and control them telepathically. However, Darren Cross, CEO of Cross Technological Enterprises, is using the tech as a means to create bite-­sized super soldiers and masquerade as his evil alter ego, the Yellow Jacket. Enter Scott Lang who, after being fired for whistleblowing, hacks his former employer, Vistacorp, to return the money they stole from their clients. But he lands himself in jail when he breaks into his boss’ home and steals some stuff. He then gets set up by Dr. Pym steal the Ant Man suit and finds himself in jail for the second time. Fortunately, Dr. Pym offers Scott redemption... if he can help him break into a place and steal some stuff. But also put a stop to Cross!

So with no sense of scale, Ant-­Man looked like a regular guy in an underwear costume which did away with the appeal of a hero who could shrink in size. Though Hank Pym was the original Ant-Man, Scott Lang was chosen to be the star of the film because Pym's history of mental disorders and spousal abuse were deemed less family-friendly. He even went as far as to attack his wife, Wasp, with a can of Raid! In the late 1980s, an Ant-Man film was pitched by Stan Lee to then Marvel parent company New World Entertainment, but nothing came of it due to a film in production with a similar premise. That film was Disney's Honey I Shrunk the Kids. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1LXjPk1 The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1qhR5bD Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

But there are other worlds. One more sinister realm is the Smithy Dimension. There resides a sentient weapon named Smithy. The last of his kind, Smithy lived upon the very remains and parts of failed creations like himself. Equipped with a powerful forging hammer and a living smelter, Smithy created a legion of living mechs like himself, each resembling the forms of weapons like axes, bows, and spears. Over time, Smithy became a sort of demi-god of war, and their world was nothing but metal and conflict. Any sign of the world and creator that came before...was gone. Eventually the Smithy Gang's ambitions grew and a towering sword, known as Exor, was built to create portals to new worlds to conquer. As you may have guessed, their sights fell on the fungus world of the Mushroom Kingdom. You are Mario, whose normal adventure of Princess rescuing is interrupted by Exor falling from the sky and shattering the Star Road, scattering your friends and the power of the stars across the land.

In New York City in the late 20th century, a man was born who would become the most important being in the universe: Philip J. Fry! Unfortunately, our hero spent his formative years playing video games and watching reruns of Star Trek. By 1999, Fry finds himself stuck in a dead end pizza delivery job with an unfaithful girlfriend and only a stray dog to call his friend. But as the rest of New York celebrates the eve of the new millennium, a prank call lures Fry to a cryogenics lab where he is accidentally frozen for a thousand years! Thawing on the eve of the year 3000, Fry looks up his 160 year old nephew, Professor Hubert Farnsworth. The Professor offers Fry a job at his delivery company, Planet Express, run by a Rastafarian bureaucrat and an inept crustacean doctor. Join Delivery Boy First Class Philip J. Fry as he befriends a foul-mouthed robot, romances a cycloptic sewer mutant, discovers the lost city of Atlanta, and defeats the evil Brain Spawn by getting "nasty in the past-y." With a colorfully misfit crew, you'll find that even the simplest delivery at Planet Express is a likely suicide mission.

Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by Dodger: http://www.youtube.com/user/PressHeartToContinue Animated by Scott Falco: https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Transcript: Initially, words written in Alienese in the streets of New New York could be translated using a character replacement cypher. Fans quickly picked up on it, so the writers created a more complicated language requiring fans to translate the first character of a word into a letter, then as the symbols progress, subtracting the value of the previous symbol, and adding 26 if the number is less than zero. Easy, right? The obnoxious character, Cubert, a clone created from cells scraped from the Professor's back, was intended to mirror overly critical fans of the show by pointing out flaws in the shows’ plotlines or logic, but eventually the writers had to tone down his irritable nature by writing him as more of a petulant child than an obnoxious fanboy. When Matt Groening and David X Cohen originally developed the show, they had one rule: No Time Travel. Worried that fans would scrutinize any attempted time travel episodes, they wrote this phrase in bold letters across the top of the whiteboard in their office. Years later, they would win an Emmy for the episode "Roswell That Ends Well" in which the crew travels back in time. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1LXjPk1 The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1qhR5bD Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

She soon realized the spells would not sustain her indefinitely and searched the world for a permanent solution. With the unwitting aid of a distant, superstitious village, her plans were soon set in motion. For generations in this village, a small number of children had been born with horns growing from their heads. The townsfolk blamed their misfortunes on the accursed children, so at age 12, they were taken to the distant castle and placed in a stone sarcophagus in sacrifice to the queen. The children perished, becoming brooding shadow creatures, key figures in the Queen's sinister plans. When Ico, a horned boy, is sealed in a stone sarcophagus to wait for death, a fateful tremor sends it crashing to the floor. Knocked out by the impact, Ico dreams of a hanging cage in the center of a cylindrical room but wakes up when shadow creatures disturb the dream. Searching the castle for a way out, Ico finds the room from his dream with a hanging cage holding a strangely luminescent girl. Is she to be sacrificed, too? As Ico, take the young girl's hand. Only together can you escape your grim fates, fight off the shadow creatures, and thwart the dark magic of the evil queen.

Written by Chad Quandt https://www.youtube.com/user/TajesMahoney Voiced by Dodger: http://www.youtube.com/user/PressHeartToContinue Animated by Hagen Toons: http://www.youtube.com/user/hagentoons Transcript: The story of Dragon Ball is originally based off the Chinese fable, Journey to the West, which is about a monkey warrior who fights villains with a power pole and flying cloud. Eventually, creator Akira Toriyama just turned Dragon Ball into a pure fighting manga and began to forget things he had already drawn, so he had to keep writing himself out of corners. Toriyama is a fan of using themes to name his characters. Saiyans are named after vegetables, Frieza’s family after refrigerators. Even Bulma’s family is named after underwear. In the world of Dragonball, death is a regular occurrence. Through the entire series, only a small group of characters never slipped off the mortal coil: Hercule, Supreme Kai, Pan, Bra, Uub, & Fortuneteller Baba. BONUS FACT: The famous quote from Vegeta “It’s over 9000!” is actually a mistake -- it was misspoken in the English dub! The correct translation of Goku’s power level is “8000.” --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1LXjPk1 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Similar to humans, the race possessed two advantages: growing stronger after every fight, and a monkey-like tail. Whenever exposed to a full moon, they transformed into considerably more powerful giant ape monsters! For some reason! Early on in their empire they took Planet Plant and renamed it Planet Vegeta after their prince. Seeing their potential, a galactic warlord named Frieza, from a long line of conquerors with puns for names, annexed the entire Saiyan race into his army, reducing the proud prince Vegeta to nothing but a lackey. The Frieza Army stormed across the galaxy, conquering weak planets and preparing them for sale, presumably sold to weird rich alien dudes. Eventually Frieza decided the Saiyans needed a demonstration to keep them in line. Sensing the oncoming doom, a random Saiyan soldier called Bardock sent his infant son Kakarot off in a tiny space ship just before Planet Vegeta was blown up. Crash landing on Earth, this boy was discovered and raised by an old man called Gohan, who ignored the boy's weird tail and renamed him Goku. It wasn't long before Earth fell under the greedy eye of the Frieza Army, seeking not just Earth's resources but seven powerful wish-granting objects known as Dragonballs.

Written by Mylo Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Animated by NeroGeist: https://www.youtube.com/user/NeroGeist Transcript: The lands of Minegarde are overflowing with monsters of all shapes and sizes, from the adorable to the just plain annoying. Among these common beasts are the elder dragons, rare and powerful beings, worshiped and feared by the people of Minegarde for the massive destruction they can cause. To protect its citizens, the Elder Dragon Observation and Hunter’s Guild were founded to conduct research and more importantly, get some sweet monster tail by hunting them. Since you were a child, you dreamed of belonging to the storied lineage of the hunters; it’s even been rumored they were part of a technologically-advanced and superhuman civilization that fought the dragons in the Great Wyvern War eons ago. This maayybe explains the giant bones littered everywhere and why you’re able to wield impossibly heavy weaponry. Though much of Minegarde’s history has faded, the thirst to defend, maim, and kill has not. And no one does it better than the AceHunters, a dream team of trappers that only take on the toughest of assignments.

Written by Mel Brian Patrón https://twitter.com/Patron_on_Rocks Voiced by DeadloxMC: https://www.youtube.com/user/DeadloxMC Animated by Digsbot: https://www.youtube.com/user/Digsbot Transcript: For the past six years, Dr. Franklin Storm has been trying to uncover the secret to interdimensional travel, as commissioned by powerful businessman Harvey Elder. Unsuccessful thus far, he enlists the aid of Reed Richards whose afterschool activities include prototyping teleportation devices in his garage -- you know, like other kids. Dr. Storm teams Reed up with Johnny, his hot-headed thrill-seeking son; Sue, his adopted daughter who’s equally brilliant and sarcastic; and Victor, an anti-social computer programmer known in online forums as DOOM. Also tagging along is Reed’s childhood pal, Ben, who’s loyal, but not much of a team player. With the invention of the Quantum Gate, they travel to an unknown and highly unstable alternate dimension. They miraculously return, although, not in the same form as when they left. Reed’s intense elasticity enables him to stretch to impossible lengths. Sue gains invisibility and the power to manipulate force fields. Johnny can engulf his body in flames, fly, and fling fireballs. And Ben… well Ben’s a rock. Now, they must learn to harness their new powers and face their former friend turned foe.

When entered into your browser, the IP will bring up different images and articles about Latveria, Dr. Doom’s homeland. Although Marvel comics have been around since 1939, as Timely Comics, the release of Fantastic Four Number 1 in 1961 is said to mark the beginning of the Marvel Comic Universe. This issue is worth up to $800,000 dollars! The 1994 Fantastic Four movie was allegedly scrapped because of how awful it was, but it has also been claimed that it was never intended to be released. Rather, it was created so the producer could hold onto the movie rights, something the cast and crew were never told during filming. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1LXjPk1 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

On the case as well, is Detective Manny Pardo, investigating Jacket's murders and a new string of victims with notes stating "I didn't mean to do it." Meanwhile, five indulgent fans have idolized Jacket and take their individual talents and animal masks on a murder spree, but how will the Russian Mafia feel when they copycat the man who crippled their organization?

Once a year on Christmas Eve, drivers battle to the death in a city-wide demolition derby for the chance to be granted one wish, no matter the price, size or even the reality. In a hidden underground facility lives the omnipotent being known only as Calypso. He sits on a throne of broken car parts, smiling beneath his hideous flame-scarred face. Each year, Calypso invites drivers with a simple, red-lettered email reading, "Will you drive?" This year, twelve drivers have been invited for the tenth annual Twisted Metal tournament including Sweet Tooth, an escaped mental patient in clown make-up and an ice cream truck; Outlaw, a cop hoping to end the tournament once and for all; and Mr. Grimm, a collector of souls on a hellish motorcycle. Choose your driver and battle through underground arenas, on surprisingly empty freeways, and over sky scraping rooftops as you collect missiles and explosives to turn your opponents to scrap. Once you've beaten the mysterious Minion you'll reach Calypso and claim your prize, but be careful what you wish for.

His Fredbear plush doll says "He locked you in your room again. Don't be scared. I am here with you." Comforted by his plushie friends, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and Fredbear, the boy falls asleep. But at midnight the boy wakes up to find the doors to his bedroom and closet are open. Lately, rumors of the restaurant's animatronic characters murdering people in the night have haunted the boy's nightmares and made him an easy target for bullies. But where are the bullies now? Do their feet scurry in the hallway outside? Are they making the metallic breathing sounds just outside his bedroom door? Or are the rumors true? Armed with only a flashlight, you must survive five nights from midnight to 6AM in order to make it to the party at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. There you may finally learn the secret behind the disappearances at the restaurant, the identity of the mysterious "He" who torments you, and how a little boy could have been caught up in such a grotesque nightmare.

Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by FusionZGamer: https://www.youtube.com/user/thezeldafan911 Animated by digsBot: https://www.youtube.com/user/DigsBot Transcript: After completing Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 on Nightmare Mode, the player is shown a box with two padlocks on it. No one has been able to figure out a way to open the box, and a game decompiler recently revealed the only action available in the game's code is a return to the start screen, therefore it is impossible to open. Future DLC could change this, but "Perhaps, some things are best left forgotten, for now." In the minigame after beating Night 2, you are told to move forward but if you double back, you can catch a glimpse of the mysterious Purple Man helping someone into a Spring Bonnie Costume, most likely the "spare yellow suit" hinted at on the sixth night of Five Nights at Freddy's 2. When Five Nights at Freddy's creator, Scott Cawthon isn't adding to the grotesque backstory of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, he is part of Hope Animation, a Christian animation project hoping to spread the teachings of Jesus Christ. Cawthon’s family friendly game, Chipper and Sons Lumber Co, was heavily criticized for the scary animatronic character design. Depressed, Cawthon was on the verge of leaving the business behind, but instead gave it one more shot and took inspiration from his critics. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Her hygiene earned her nicknames like Hog Breath and Cauldron Butt. Still, she started each day brushing her teeth with moldy cheese toothpaste and having Tadpoles on Toast for breakfast, but her classmates ridicule wouldn't stop her from reading her copy of Fat Hag Monthly, dreaming of the day she would be the most beautiful woman in the world. After several years of kidnapping the local Jinjos and abusing her minions, Gruntilda asked her cauldron, Dingpot, "Who is the fairest of them all?" Though he did not remark on her horrid looks, he did confess that Tooty, a pig-tailed honey bear on Spiral Mountain, was the fairest in the land. Enraged, Gruntilda flew her broomstick to Spiral Mountain and kidnapped the young bear to magically steal her good looks. Kazooie, a local red-crested breegull, witnessed the witch's crime and flew to fetch Tooty's brother, Banjo, who had bravely been fast asleep the whole time. You are Banjo and, with Kazooie's help, you must rescue your sister from the evil Gruntilda, even if it means taking part in her dastardly quiz show!

Written by Mylo Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Animated by Nevarky: https://www.youtube.com/user/nevarky Transcript: In an alternate Earth timeline, there exist the Gems; an advanced, intergalactic race. These powerful beings derive their abilities from their gemstones -- their physical appearances are merely projections of light given mass. Capable of shapeshifting, summoning magical weapons, and designing unique outfits, Gems may even combine with each other to form more powerful Fusions. Several millennia ago, the Homeworld Gems, after conquering worlds throughout the galaxy, set their sights on Earth, enslaving it for a thousand years. They used the planet's life force to grow new Gems, which, if not halted, would eventually destroy it. Not wanting to see Earth’s creatures destroyed, a rebel group, the Crystal Gems led by Rose Quartz, swore to protect the planet. Though the Crystal Gems were successful in driving away the colonial forces, the ramifications were costly as many Gems and much of humanity suffered heavy losses in the war. In the present, the half-gem, half-human Steven Universe lives in tranquil Beach City, raised by his Gem guardians, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, and his dad, Greg. It’s speculated that Steven has powers that can fend off Earth’s most fearsome threats. Now all he has to do is learn how to activate his gemstone, if he’s not too busy playing video games, breaking out into song, and keeping his motley crew of a family together.

Amethyst’s design is based off of Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time, the show that creator, Rebecca Sugar, worked on previously as a storyboard artist, director, and composer. In the episode “Rising Tides, Crashing Skies”, Ronaldo Fryman makes a documentary about the Crystal Gems for his blog. The blog actually exists on tumblr, has been periodically updated by the Steven Universe team, and may play a bigger role in future episodes. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Fast Facts!

Vile's most heinous daughter, the mystical sorceress Rita Repulsa, waged war against the mysterious wizard Zordon and the forces of good. Eventually the people of M51 decided to escape, taking with them the Zeo Crystal; a powerful stone which allowed those pure of heart to access The Morphing Grid, a dimension where those who pass through it were… morphed… into warriors of great power. To grow in power, Rita pledged herself to the corrupt Emperor Zedd. Detecting the stone on Earth, Rita gave chase. However, Zordon interfered, challenging Rita to a coin toss to decide the fate of the war. Losing, Rita and her cronies were sealed away in a galactic dumpster on the Earth’s moon. Before she was entombed Rita cast one final spell, banishing Zordon outside of normal time. Forced to exist in an energy tube on Earth, Zordon waited with his robot assistant Alpha for a time he would be needed again… That time came when a pair clumsy scientists accidentally release Rita and her cronies. Sensing this, Zordon tells Alpha to find five “teenagers with attitude” to be transformed into THE POWER RANGERS.

With their ability to simultaneously see all that is, was, or could be, they monitored time and space to prevent and repair paradoxes. Unfortunately, Gallifrey became embroiled in the Last Great Time War with the merciless Daleks and was lost when the Time Lord known as The Doctor used a doomsday device to end the war definitively. The Doctor, however, escaped Gallifrey aboard the TARDIS, a sentient time machine, and wandered the universe as the last of the Time Lords, eventually landing on Earth and disguising the TARDIS as a blue police box that is "bigger on the inside." Torn between his sense of right and wrong and the Time Lord policy of non-interference, The Doctor must constantly prove to himself that his actions are for the greater good. Armed with only a condescending wit and a sonic screwdriver, The Doctor will need the help of a colorful cast of companions to protect his adopted planet and all of time and space from the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Weeping Angels and more of the universe's most malevolent species.

Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by Dodger: http://www.youtube.com/user/PressHeartToContinue Animated by Scott Falco: https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Transcript: Doctor Who was originally meant to be an educational program with the Doctor's first two companions being Science and History Teachers. Each adventure would feature a historical setting touching on lessons from history or a science lesson illustrated in a futuristic setting. The Doctor's regeneration ability was conceived in order to recast William Hartnell, the original Doctor, who was poor in health and difficult on set. The regeneration visual effect was discovered when a malfunction over-exposed the film to near-white. It was then faded back to matching footage, revealing the next Doctor. The Doctor's most famous antagonists, the Daleks, almost weren't greenlit for production. Producers were discouraged from using Terry Nation's original script by Donald Wilson, the Head of Serials at the BBC, but the Producers claimed they had no other scripts ready for production. The episode was reluctantly allowed to film and human audiences fell in love with their would-be exterminators. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1NqdMXk Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by Super Bunnyhop: https://www.youtube.com/user/bunnyhopshow Animated by NeroGeist: https://www.youtube.com/user/NeroGeist Transcript: In the universe, a Deity known as Jubileus once ruled in perfect harmony, but an unknown event split the universe into three parts: Paradiso, the source of the light magic used by men known as Lumen Sages; Inferno, the source of the dark magic of the female Umbra Witches; and the chaotic world of man. The Sages and Witches negotiated peace, governing time and history in the human world using the Eyes of the World, two gems said to be the eyes of Jubileus that, once brought together, would awaken the creator. The peace lasted many years, but collapsed when an Umbran Witch fell in love with one of the Sages, a violation of sacred law. War broke out and the Witches triumphed, but one Sage survived. 500 years later, you are Bayonetta, a mysterious witch with no memory of her past after awakening at the bottom of a lake. With a small gem around your neck believed to be the Left Eye of the World, you must set out to find the second gem and recover your lost memories. But watch your back. Balder, the last of the Lumen Sages, has spurred humanity into witch hunting and sent the angels of Paradiso to track you down.

Written by Chad Quandt: https://twitter.com/TajesMahoney Voiced by Ricepirate: https://www.youtube.com/user/ricepiratenewgrounds Animated by DigsBot: https://www.youtube.com/user/Digsbot Transcript: At the dawn of the universe, there existed two powerful inter-dimensional beings. Primus and Unicron, the first a force for life, the other a force for chaos. During a decisive battle, they were shifted into the physical realm, where they surprisingly took the form of giant metal planets. They handled this… rather well, but in different ways: Unicron discovered a giant humanoid form, essentially becoming the Robot Devil. Meanwhile, Primus took on the more passive role of a life-sustaining planet called Cybertron, using his life force to create small Cybertronian robots…otherwise known as Transformers. Primus accomplished this by fracturing off pieces of his essence into Sparks and built thirteen warriors to fight Unicron, calling them Primes. In a climatic battle, one of the most powerful Primes betrayed his brothers and pledged allegiance to Unicron, forever being known as “The Fallen”. Unicron and his new acolyte were defeated, and Primus went into slumber, using a device called The Matrix of Leadership to pass power down the generations, from Prime to Prime. Though Unicron had been defeated, the damage was already done. The Fallen’s actions created a schism between the Transformers: the honorable Autobots and the sinister Decepticons. Then, the Decepticon warrior Megatron sparked a Civil War, hoping to take Cybertron as a launching point for galactic conquest. Leading the Autobot response is Optimus Prime, a Transformer who has just recently fallen into the title.

Written by Chad Quandt: https://twitter.com/TajesMahoney Voiced by Dodger: https://www.youtube.com/user/PressHeartToContinue Animated by Scott Falco: https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Transcript: Optimus Prime may actually have a mother depending on what you consider canon. In a classic Pepsi commercial, Optimus opens his fridge to find a note on his tupperware that reads... "Dear Optimus, Warm it before you eat. Mom." Classic Megatron's transformation into a GUN often has him shrinking down to the size another Decepticon can use him, but this has been inconsistent. Some episodes and comics have him staying full size, forcing others to awkwardly hold and fire him, while others have him just floating as a sentient gun. Bumblebee was arguably the most glaring omission from the Beast Era of cartoons, The reason? Hasbro lost the toy rights to Bumblebee during this time, meaning the one classic Autobot named after an animal didn't make it into Beast Wars. In 1983, Hasbro discovered Japanese toy lines Diaclone and Microchange, bought the rights, and rebranded them for America as Transformers. Hasbro then teamed up with Marvel to produce the cartoon and comic books, and eventually bought the entire line, making them the sole owners. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Hungry for action and preaching the expansion of the empire, King Argon marched his army south to conquer neighboring Tenosia. The failed crusade left his army decimated and the King dead in the sands of an unforgiving desert. Without their King, the army fell apart. One faction, united under General Malric Terrowin, leader of an elite unit known as the Mason Order, hurried back to Agatha to spread word of the king's death and urge the people to prepare for a Tenosian counter-attack. Fueled by fear and the promise of supplanting the upper class, the Order quickly took control of Agatha. When the remaining soldiers finally returned home, the Mason Order denounced them as traitors. The knights rallied behind General Feydrid Kearn and Danum Argon, the King's nephew and rightful heir to the throne and marched on Malric's citadel, hoping to restore peace to the kingdom. Torn apart by civil war, castles across the land are under siege. Will you side with the traditional Agathian Knights or the radical Mason Order? Your sword will decide the fate of a once-proud kingdom.

Captain America. Colonel Phillips then enlisted Howard Stark and Agent Peggy Carter to train Rogers and put a stop to the Red Skull and his terrorist organization, HYDRA. Phillips, Stark and Carter then co-founded the successor to the SSR: S.H.I.E.L.D., the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. However, HYDRA and their leader, Arnim Zola, infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. when German scientists were recruited by the U.S. Government during Operation Paperclip. Now, Colonel Nick Fury is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and along with Agent Phil Coulson, they assemble a team of superheroes, The Avengers, to stand as Earth’s first line of defense against any threat. During the Battle of New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. became a publicly known entity, and Agent Coulson was fatally stabbed by Loki. Luckily, Coulson miraculously lives on to put a stop to HYDRA and spearhead a new team... and television series: the Agents of SHIELD!

Whedon still considers Coulson dead and has no plans to bring him back to the silver screen or even mention that he’s still alive to the Avengers. The legendary Jim Steranko got his start as a penciller-inker on Strange Tales #151, and only 4 issues later, Stan Lee put him in charge of all the Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD adventures, leading it to become one of the most groundbreaking comic books of the Silver Age. In Agents of SHIELD, it’s stated that Earth was the only world where the Kree was successful in creating Inhumans. However, in the comics, there are four other species: the Dire Wraiths, Kymellians, the Badoon, and Centaurians -- the last of which Yondu is a member of. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro

Ollie’s father Robert Queen founded the company and its subsidiaries and gave jobs to lower and middle-class citizens of Starling City. After opening his shipping factory in the Glades, Robert Queen was extorted by a local city councilman, leading to the councilman’s accidental fall to his death. Wrought with guilt and ashamed of the corrupt local government, Robert Queen closes his businesses in the Glades and plans to sell the land to a Chinese businessman. Meanwhile, Ollie begins dating longtime friend, Laurel Lance, but starts sleeping with other women… including her sister, Sara. Ollie then joins his father on a business trip to China and brings Sara along for the boat ride, which naturally ends in catastrophe. Shipwrecked and finally returning to civilization after five years on a remote island, Ollie is a changed man. Now armed with a list of names and outrageous wealth, Ollie vows to fight corruption in Starling City and right the wrongs of his father.

Written by Peter Ngaou Voiced by MathasGames: http://www.youtube.com/user/MathasGames Animated by digsBot: https://www.youtube.com/user/DigsBot Transcript: From an early age, Robert Kirkman knew he loved comics. He dreamed of writing and drawing his own, but soon realized his drawings were dead on the page. A crushing blow, he decided he would still pursue writing comics. He started his own publishing company, but soon found himself $40,000 dollars in debt after several failed comics. Thankfully Kirkman persevered and in 2003, he debuted his zombie title, The Walking Dead. The comic, rather than focusing on zombies and gore, focused on the ethical and moral dilemmas of its human characters as they try to rebuild. The series was a runaway success. In 2005, famed filmmaker Frank Darabont came across a trade edition in a comic shop. A fan of Romero’s Night of the Living Dead as a child, Darabont had always wanted to make a zombie film and he immediately contacted Kirkman to talk TV rights. NBC and HBO were interested, but like other networks, decided the content was too violent. Ultimately they took the idea to AMC, a young network before the success of Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Based solely on the source comics and Darabont’s involvement, they picked up the show. The rest is undead history.

Facing defeat, the powerful summoner Yu Yevon created Sin to destroy all advanced technology. However, the monstrosity had a mind of its own, destroying Zanarkand and launching its plague of destruction across Spira. To defeat this great evil, Yu Yevon's daughter, Yunalesca, and her husband sacrificed themselves to summon her Final Aeon, one born from love. However, victory was short-lived as the Final Aeon became reincarnated as another Sin. For centuries, summoners have embarked on a pilgrimage to summon their Final Aeon and defeat Sin for brief periods of Calm before its rebirth. This unending cycle of destruction is unknown to you and the citizens of Zanarkand. All that matters is blitzball, a popular sport once played by your father, Jecht, who mysteriously disappeared ten years ago. Now on the day of the Jecht Memorial Cup, you encounter Sin for the first time with your father’s friend, Auron, to guide you. You are teleported to a world devastated by Sin and soon realize that Zanarkand, your home, has been in ruins for a millenia.

Written by Holly Voiced by DaveControlLive: http://www.youtube.com/user/DaveControlLive Animated by Spinalpalm: https://www.youtube.com/user/spinalpalm Transcript: Creator Hajime Isayama was inspired to create the Titans upon a chance encounter with a drunken man in an internet café. It struck Hajime as odd that here were two members of the same species who were completely unable to communicate. Hajime ran with this idea, and the Titans were born! Isayama had originally intended to kill off most of the characters including Sasha Blouse and Jean Kirstein, who was his favorite! He let Sasha live when his editor cried in the bathroom after having seen the storyboard of her death. Most of your favorite characters may be safe now that the series is expected to have a lengthy run. Levi is based on a combination of three characters; Rorschach, Astro Boy, and Kyuzo from Seven Samurai. This also explains why Levi is one of the shortest members of the Survey Corps -- all are below average height but excellent fighters just like “Humanity’s Strongest Soldier.” --------- Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Written by Holly Voiced by BalrogtheMaster https://www.youtube.com/user/BalrogtheMaster Animated by Hagen Toons: http://www.youtube.com/user/hagentoons Transcript: 100 years ago, very mysterious and very naked humanoid giants began eating humans to near-extinction. When their cannons weren’t enough to take down these regenerating Titans, people had no choice but to unconditionally trust the Royal Government. The Government built three enormous 165-foot walls to keep the Titans out, but social inequalities developed within; the wealthiest lived in the safe confines of Wall Sina while the poor lived in the outermost Wall Maria. And because walls alone aren’t enough, three-dimensional maneuver gear was developed, requiring great training and strength to master. Its combination of grappling hooks, gas-powered machinery, and steel blades are used by the three military forces. The Military Police guard the king, the Garrison defend the walls, and the Scout Regiment explore and fight, but mostly get eaten, in the lands beyond. With the government censoring knowledge of the outside world, ten-year-old Eren Yeager of the Shiganshina District dreams of joining the Scouts and adventuring beyond Wall Maria. This terrifies his family and friends Mikasa and Armin because the walls have kept them safe… until now. With new resolve after the Titans attack, it’s up to Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and the rest of the cadets to defend what’s left of their people and uncover the origins of the Titans to ensure humanity’s survival.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, dared to do so. She ate the fruit, harnessing the power of chakra for the first time, though she later turned into the horrifying Ten-Tailed beast. Kaguya was defeated by her sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, sealing the beast inside Hagomoro. Knowing eventually the beast would be freed, Hagoromo, separated the beast into nine relatively smaller ones. Chakra magic grew, and the age of shinobi was created. The land was divided into five great countries. Each with a Kage ruling over their area and village, divided by the dominant chakra energy: The Land of Earth, Lightning, Water, Wind, and Fire. Out of all the Tailed Beasts, nine-tailed fox creature Kurama, was the most dangerous. As the Beasts were now hunted to be turned into devices as war, Kurama grew to hate humanity, which is understandable. Kurama attacked the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire. The village was destroyed and lives were lost, including that of the village's leader, the Hokage, sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails creature into his newborn child, Naruto. which is an arguably bad dad decision. Naruto grew up ostracized and an orphan, but he swore he'd someday become the new Hokage.

Unknown to Kal, his uncle Zor-El and aunt Alura launched a second craft carrying their daughter Kara to protect their young nephew, but the explosion of Krypton sent her craft into the prison dimension known as The Phantom Zone, which is probably the worst kind of prison. Many years passed, but soon Kal would put on his best pajamas to become Earth's greatest hero, Superman. To some, he's the embodiment of truth and justice, to others he's a rogue alien unwilling to answer to the government. For this reason, the Department of Extra-Normal Operations was founded, headed by former CIA Agent Hank Henshaw, whose superpower is being super shady. A bit of a step down from delusional killer cyborg, but hey, who has the budget for that? Years later, Kara's craft inexplicably crashed on Earth. Rescued by her cousin, Kara was adopted by the Danvers family in National City who raise her to hide her powers. Unfortunately, she'll need them because her ship was followed out of the Phantom Zone by the Kryptonian prison craft known as Fort Rozz. Between her new assistant job, a distrustful government agency, and a prison full of angry intergalactic criminals, Kara's life just got complicated. What's a Supergirl to do?

Written by Chad Quandt https://www.youtube.com/user/TajesMahoney Voiced by JesseCox: https://www.youtube.com/user/OMFGCata Animated by Scott Falco: https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Transcript: In an alternate timeline centuries from now, artificial intelligence takes over. Even the heroic Earth Liberation Front quickly fell in their attempts to save Earth. While many brave soldiers passed, some- including the elite Raelynn and Ted McPain- were only temporarily lost, placed into stasis to be resurrected later. Sadly, humanity lost in the first A.I. War. In the ruins of Earth, intergalactic business Zork Industries, led by the alien Blabl Zork, raided the planet for resources to be resold as spoils of war. Having no fondness for his heir and nephew, Derpl Zork, a dim-witted mercenary, Blabl sent him out to fight -- and likely die -- in the same battlefields he sells to. It is now 3587 and the SECOND A.I. war rages on with robots fighting other robots under the banners of The Zeroes and The Ones. As these metallic mobs fight over key resources, both sides begin listing the help of The Awesomenauts, an ever-expanding group of wild mercenaries with very loose membership requirements. Humans, robots, weird fox alien things... all are set to battle over... random stuff.

Written by Mylo Voiced by Comicstorian https://www.youtube.com/user/Comicstorian Animated by Zeurel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Zeurel Transcript: After Master Chief, John-117, abated the Didact’s plans of creating a Promethean Army, he rejoined his fellow Spartan IIs of the legendary Blue Team - Fred-104, Kelly-087, and Linda-058. Working with ONI, a naval branch known for using deception to protect humanity at all costs, Blue Team was deployed on classified missions, including re-encountering and defeating the Didact and fighting off Covenant Remnant forces. Meanwhile, Agent Locke, a former mercenary assassin now serving under ONI, made a name for himself after destroying Lekgolo mining operations on Alpha Shard. With his exemplary record, Locke was selected to become a Spartan-IV, undergoing augmentation procedures and essentially becoming a supersoldier, though not nearly as powerful as the Spartan IIs. During an ONI Mission, John-117 sees visions of Cortana, his AI companion who sacrificed herself during their first meeting with the Didact; she tells him to go to the human colony of Meridian. Soon after, Meridian is breached by a Guardian, a colossal Forerunner construct capable of slipspace travel. When ONI officials spot Blue Team on the colony, they’re blamed for the attack and send Locke’s unit, Fireteam Osiris, to hunt down the rogue Blues. With the stage set for the Spartan IIs and Spartan IVs to square off, it’s up to you to take control of their leaders and prevent a cataclysmic event known only as the “reclamation.” Have fun! --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

Written by Mylo Voiced by Ready Up Live: https://www.youtube.com/user/ReadyUpLive Animated by digsBot: https://www.youtube.com/user/DigsBot Transcript: In 1998, Halo was originally designed to be a real-time strategy game, similar to Warcraft, where players would build structures at their base, mass produce Spartan units, and ride weird Chocobo-looking creatures called Blind Wolves. When Halo 2 multiplayer servers were discontinued in April of 2010, approximately 500 players tried to keep their consoles on for weeks to continue playing with each other. 12 noble players lasted until May before experiencing technical malfunctions or were simply booted out of Xbox Live. It was to be revealed that the Forerunners were an ancient race of humans and that both races were one and the same. This is implied in the earlier games when Guilty Spark refers to Master Chief as a “forerunner”, but was eventually retconned when the series expanded its scope and 343 Industries took over for Bungie as developer. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Fast Facts!

They developed weapons and technologies for the war, most notably a working teleportation device, but after analyzing a meteor that had fallen in Japan, the group discovered Element 115, a substance that revives dead tissue which typically means ZOMBIES. On the run from the undead, the group overloaded one of their teleporters and travelled through time as they searched for the means to control the zombie masses. Meanwhile, in the 1940s, Morg City finds itself overrun with yellow-eyed Zombies, but four strangers have also awoken in the city: Nero the magician, Vincent the Corrupt Cop, Jessica the sexy starlet, and Floyd Campbell the dirty boxer. Waking up with a strange mark on their hands, the group is plagued by both amnesia and insatiable hordes of the undead. With no other choice, the group must rely on a mysterious stranger known as the Shadow Man who promises their redemption if they do as he says. As they fight for their lives, they'll learn that they each have dark secrets, weirdly esoteric ways of killing zombies, and the true reason why they’ve been left in Morg City.

The Protoss worshipped the Xel'naga, but to control the vicious Zerg, the Xel'naga created the Overmind. Unfortunately, the Overmind turned the swarm on its creators and the Xel'naga were never seen again. The Protoss resolved to stop the Zerg, but during the Great War, their homeworld of Aiur was lost. Forming a shaky alliance with their exiled brothers, the Dark Templars, the Protoss retreated, but Dark Prelate Zeratul, learned of experiments on a Zerg/Protoss hybrid and left to investigate. Meanwhile, Terran soldier Jim Raynor lost his partner, Sarah Kerrigan to the Zerg. Abandoned by her commander, Arcturus Mengsk, Kerrigan was transformed into the Zerg/Terran hybrid, the Queen of Blades. Through treachery, she recruited the Terrans and Protoss to destroy the new Overmind then took control of the Zerg Swarm for herself. Betrayed, Raynor vowed to kill Kerrigan, but she now commanded the most powerful force in the galaxy. Then, without explanation, she gathered her swarm and vanished. Four years later and in between drinking binges, Raynor leads raids against Emperor Mengsk, but it's time to sober up. Kerrigan has returned to uncover mysterious Xel'naga artifacts, compelled by an ancient voice. The voice of an ancient evil born anew.

Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Animated by Scott Falco: https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Transcript: StarCraft’s most popular and influential custom map was Aeon of Strife, which can be considered the precursor to DOTA and by extension, the MOBA genre. The map’s creator was inspired by Future Cop: LAPD’s Precinct Assault mode which let players fight alongside NPC units. Ever wanted to draw a Zergling using the power of math? Well now you can thanks to Wolfram Alpha! If you use the term “zergling-like curve,” the search engine will spit out a parametric equation that plots the coordinates of the alien critter. This works for Protoss and Hydralisk, too! StarCraft was widely panned as “Orcs in Space” at E3 in 1996, and it paled in comparison to Ion Storm’s Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3, which was just one booth over. This intimidated Blizzard into completely revamping StarCraft, but later they found out that the E3 Dominion demo was fake -- Ion Storm employees were pretending to play a pre-rendered movie! --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Fast Facts!

Since they are individually owned by various governments and super-corporations, the Trans-System Federation was established to create the Charter, a document that regulates intergalactic travel, provides basic rights, and tries to stop people from killing one another. A special force called the Frontiersmen is in charge of enforcing the Charter. Through rigorous training, all Frontiersmen are physically and mentally capable, and well-suited for close-quarter tactical skirmishes. However, their military prowess, combined with their strong sense of morality, have caused problems for the TSF whose actions go against the very Charter they’ve created With the Frontiersmen in danger of being dissolved, a greater foe appeared on a mining facility in the Ariadne Arm System. Rapidly evolving from Bacterium and hostile toward humans, the cunning Kharaa spread quickly across the system, using resources to build Hives, granting them the ability to operate as one - comparable to the Frontiersmen. The Kharaas have grown exponentially, systematically invading ships and have become a threat to all human civilization. Facing the loss of the Ariadne Arm System and its people, it’s now up to the Frontiersmen marines to engage the aliens in close-quarter combat and eradicate Hives. Meanwhile, the Kharaa must annihilate the human presence to continue their evolution as the galaxy’s apex predator.

Together, the four heroes formed the Order of the Stone and defeated the Ender Dragon, ridding the land of evil for all time. Or so the story was written.

But this year will be different. It has to, because this year's winner will meet Gabriel the Warrior in person! Unfortunately, a mysterious figure has followed Gabriel to Endercon with an old score to settle. As Jesse, you'll learn that Creepers and Zombies aren't the only evils lurking in the shadows.

No longer interested in the heroic life, she hid her powers hoping to blend in, but with lingering post-traumatic stress and a taste for hard liquor, she wasn't exactly a model citizen.

Scraping together some cash, Jessica opened Alias Investigations, an agency with a knack for attracting unusual cases involving people with remarkable abilities. With some help from her best friend, Patsy Walker and a streetwise bruiser named Luke Cage, Jessica is settling into her new life, but when she is hired to find a missing college student named Hope, she'll find her past has finally caught up with her.

At the center of Skylands is the Core of Light, created by the benevolent Ancients, that staves off the Darkness, a force of unfathomable evil that also looks like it will cause a few rainy days. Though the Darkness was banished, villains continued lurking across Skylands, spreading misery to the more docile, cuter inhabitants. Then the Skylanders came to the rescue! Working with the Portal Masters, these legendary champions use their elemental powers to maintain balance in the world, and most importantly, kick some villainous tail. One of the most storied Skylander groups is the Trap Team. Using Traptanium, a powerful crystal substance, Snapshot and his allies were able to defeat even the baddest villains – like the Golden Queen and her Doom Raiders – locking them away in Cloudcracker Prison. However, Kaos, a nefarious Portal Master who also smells really bad, had plans to take over Skylands. With his Frequency Modulator, Kaos released the Doom Raiders from Cloudcracker and sent the Trap Team to Earth. The Skylanders are found by you, an earthling Portal Master, and must return to their home to protect their realm once more. So Portal Master — take control of your Skylander, trap those villains, and make them fight for you.

Written by Mylo Voiced by Dodger: http://www.youtube.com/user/PressHeartToContinue Animated by Scott Falco: https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Transcript: When developing the first Skylanders game, action figures weren’t the only concept the designers were toying around with. Other rejected ideas were using the Wii’s motion controller, an eggshell peripheral, and wearing hats. Eventually, with the success of Guitar Hero’s fake guitar sales, they settled on collectible figurines. Almost all of the Skylanders from Spyro’s adventure were first designed by one man -Toys For Bob’s I­Wei Huang. While no one from the studio had experience in toy design before, Huang’s hobby in making steam­powered robots in his basement proved invaluable for the over 30 playable characters in Skylanders. Cyclops Snail was a slime character in the original Skylanders that went through many iterations. He was renamed Tarclops and even produced as a toy and programmed into the game before being scrapped completely for poor design, and gave his powers to Zap, the water dragon. ­­­­­­­­­ Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro ­­­­­­­­­ Thanks for watching Fast Facts!

Written by Mylo Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr: http://jakeparrthevoice.weebly.com/ Animated by Northridge: http://www.youtube.com/user/NorthridgeToons Transcript: Capable of using Portals of Power to teleport from world to world and even time travel, the Portal Masters are wise and powerful beings who have been protecting the world from The Darkness for centuries. Unfortunately, not all of them use their gifts for good; Kaos, a bald and smelly Portal Master, was a prodigy of Dark Magic, and had evil plans of his own to conquer Skylands. When — after many, many failed attempts of doing so — Kaos finally destroyed the Core of Light and defeated the powerful Portal Master, Eon, he was eventually subdued by the Skylanders and the new head Portal Master. Though the Core of Light’s been rebuilt to keep the darkness at bay, Kaos has returned time and time again, vowing to unleash catastrophe on the realm. While pretending to be a rehabilitated villain, Kaos secretly worked with the Darkness and escaped from prison. Now he’s arrived with an all­new powerful army and the Darkness as his ally, armed with the Doomstation of Ultimate Doomstruction that threatens to destroy Skylands once and for all. You, young Portal Master, must now work with your specialized team of Skylanders, the Superchargers, guiding them on land, under sea, and up in the sky to drive off this great evil.

Written by Mylo Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Animated by NeroGeist: https://www.youtube.com/user/NeroGeist Transcript: After The Legend of Spyro trilogy wrapped up, Activision and Toys for Bob, creators of the Star Control series, set out to expand the story of the purple dragon. They designed a variety of playable characters, each with their own abilities and style­of­play. Through these imaginative creatures, developers realized they could create an entire universe around Spyro — an endless world filled with magic and the constant battle between light and darkness. They called this world: Skylands. The developers then brainstormed ways to connect the real world to the virtual. Tapping into their fondness of physical toys, the team prototyped using figurines to interact with the game via RFID technology. This led to the Portals of Power, allowing players to put their toy on the device and having it show up onscreen while saving the character’s previous experience. Shifting the game’s audience to young kids, the concept art for Flynn, Cali, and the main antagonist, Kaos, was created, along with 30 playable characters. The developers created Elements, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and added them to the characters to maintain gameplay balance and ensuring a wide variety of playstyles. The first Skylanders game, Spyro’s Adventure, was a success — for the game and the toy line, shepherding in the toys­to­life genre as one of the most profitable industries in gaming. With the sequels, Skylanders: Giants, Swap Force, Trap Team, and Superchargers to follow, the magical world of Spyro has truly come to life.

As natural resources were consumed to their limits, world conflict escalated in the resulting Resource Wars. The United States invaded Mexico, the U.N. disbanded, and Tel Aviv was decimated by nuclear attack. With nuclear disaster looming, the United States government commissioned Vault-Tec Corporation to build 122 fallout shelters. Unfortunately, Vault-Tec planned hideous genetic experiments for the inhabitants of several of their vaults. Meanwhile in the Massachusetts suburb of Sanctuary Hill, you were living an idyllic life with your spouse and infant son when reports of nuclear strikes sent you running to nearby Vault 111. Taking neighboring cryo-chambers, you bid your spouse and your son sweet dreams of a better world. Two hundred years after the attack, you've awoken from your cryo-chamber, the sole survivor of Vault 111, with just one goal: Find your missing son. Search the Commonwealth for clues as you help other survivors build settlements to fight off mutated ghouls, irradiated monsters, and the technological might of The Institute.

Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by Piemations: https://www.youtube.com/user/PieMations Animated by Scott Falco: https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottFalco Transcript: The Fallout Logo featuring Vault Boy closing one eye and holding his thumb out isn't just a cheeky thumbs up, but rather a method for evaluating a nuclear explosion. If you see a mushroom cloud in the distance that appears larger than your thumb, you are in the radiation zone and need to evacuate ASAP. Thanks, Vault Boy! The Fat Man Tactical Nuclear Catapult is actually based on a weapon developed in the 1950's, the M-388 Davy Crockett Tactical Nuclear Recoilless Rifle, which was wildly inaccurate and had no abort function. However, the ding you hear when you fire the Fat Man isn’t inspired by the Davy Crockett -- that’s the lunch bell at the Bethesda offices. Dogmeat, the companion in Fallout 3, is a direct descendent of the canine companion in Fallout 1, which means the Dogmeat family traveled from California to Washington D.C. over the 115 year period. According to game files pulled from Fallout 4, Codsworth can say 924 names, which includes everything from Furiosa to Assface. Codsworth can also recite the names of your favorite private parts, including their plural forms! On the Ellen Degeneres Show, actor Matthew Perry confessed he loved Fallout 3 so much, he'd injured his hand playing it. He gave Ellen an Xbox 360 and signed a copy of the game to auction for charity. Bethesda and Obsidian were so pleased they cast Perry to voice Benny in Fallout: New Vegas. A follow up on Reddit found that the signed game was later purchased for $5 on a Facebook swap meet group. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Fast Facts!

Rico loved his idyllic island childhood, but soon, a militaristic dictator, Sebastiano Di Ravello, staged a bloody coup. Rico escaped his war-torn homeland, but his parents were killed in the conflict. Like most guys, Rico mourned their death by becoming a race car driver, then joining the CIA. After proving himself the high-flyingest, bad-guy explodingest secret agent of them all,, Rico was accepted into the elite unit known as The Agency.

In their conflict, they empowered human pawns with drops of their dragon's blood. These would become the royal families of humanity's kingdoms. As power corrupted the dragons, they chose to discard their physicals forms to become spirits rather than submit to their bestial urges. But humanity continued the conflict for centuries. Soon, Garon, King of Nohr, covetous of the beautiful lands of neighboring Hoshido, lured the rival king, Sumeragi, to a peace negotiation, but instead killed Sumeragi and kidnapped his child. To avoid all-out war, Sumeragi's widowed queen, Mikoto erected a magical barrier around Hoshido, sapping any Nohr soldier's will to fight. Hoshido made several attempts to retrieve the queen's child, but the child grew up, knowing nothing of their heritage. Now, as Corrin, you’re sent on a mission to the kingdom border, but when things go awry, you’re captured by your sworn enemy who claim to be your real family. To make things even more traumatic, you can turn into a dragon. Now it’s up to you learn the truth behind the warring kingdoms of Nohr and Hoshido and declare your allegiance by purchasing one of two games. Unless you’d rather go rogue, in which case you’ll need the DLC, too!

Vaccine facilities were shut down, but labs in the United States and Russia stored samples of the disease and hoped that won’t totally backfire on them. It probably will. 21 years later, the U.S. performed Operation: Dark Winter; an exercise to examine the challenges of biological attack on American soil, and naturally, the country was woefully unprepared. In response, President Bush signed Directive 51 and The Strategic Homeland Division was born, a group of independent agents who, in the event of biological attack, would stay behind to prevent the fall of society and rebuild the city. Then, smallpox mysteriously reappears and decimates New York City. With pestilence, paranoia and fear gripping the city, the Division is activated. With the help of The Joint Task Force made up of cops, firefighters and the like, you must stem the destruction of groups like The Rikers, former Riker's Island inmates; The Cleaners, sanitation workers violently purging the city of the disease; and the Last Man Battalion, a rogue unit killing anyone in their path to seize control. You'll fight your way through the city, get shot in back for your loot in the Dark Zone, and reveal the terrifying truth behind the outbreak. --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RzXOZk Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro

One thing he hasn’t mastered is being a decent human being, so he left his family behind to do whatever Rick does. His daughter, Beth, blames her mother for Rick’s departure and her own shortcomings. For one, she became a horse surgeon instead of a real surgeon and she got knocked up by her prom date, Jerry Smith. Together with her insecure husband, they have two kids -- the socially conscious Summer and natural sidekick, Morty. After years apart, Rick re-enters Beth’s life and sets up shop in the family’s garage, much to Jerry’s displeasure. For the past semester, Rick has been pulling Morty from school to take him on misadventures across the universe and smuggle things up his butt. Join Dimension C-137 Rick and Morty as they battle aliens, make love to exotic non-human organisms, and ingest intergalactic drugs. With Rick, anything is possible-- except time travel, because that’s dumb.

A tribe of sorcerers called The Dark Interlopers attempted to use the old magic of the Fused Shadow to claim The Triforce as their own. The Golden Goddesses of Hyrule punished them for their treachery, shattering the Fused Shadow across the land and sealing them in The Twilight Realm. Most of the forsaken tribe, now known as The Twili, made peace with their fate and established a kingdom… but others were driven mad by it. Centuries later, the thief-king Ganondorf sought to take the Tri Force again until a young Hero of Time defeated him. The Sages of the land exiled Ganon into the Twilight Realm. The Hero of Time was then able to return to his childhood existence and lived a life of peace. Meanwhile, in the Twilight Realm, Princess Midna ascended to the throne, a beautiful non-cat-elf-imp person. But Zant, furious at having been passed over, plotted revenge. An answer came to him in the form of a god who gave Zant a fraction of his power, allowing him to overthrew Midna.* Zant proclaimed himself the Twilight King and began to spread his dark power into the land of Hyrule to take it once again. Midna retreats with a part of the Fused Shadow and seeks out her savior… the legend of a Hero who would appear as "divine beast.” Have fun! --------- Polaris Animated Universe: http://bit.ly/1P77c59 Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws --------- JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4 Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro --------- Thanks for watching Lore!

They created many planets before finally creating the perfect world, Gielinor, before vanishing, leaving their artefacts behind. Soon, the artefacts were discovered by mortals, ascending them to godhood. One god, Saradomin, then conquered the realm of the Naragi but his actions attracted other gods. In the conflict, one Naragi named Guthix lost his daughter when Skargaroth fell on his house. Enraged, he grabbed Skargaroth's sword and slayed him. Guthix ascended to godhood, becoming what he hated most, and wandered the multiverse. As he travelled, Guthix discovered Gielinor and invited mortals to his perfect world. He scattered runestones across the land, granting them magic and giving Gielinor the nickname Runescape, but soon, the mortals worshipped him. So Guthix slept, hoping to be forgotten. In his absence, other gods started the devastating God War. Guthix awoke, banished all gods from Gielinor with a barrier called the Edicts of Guthix and returned to sleep. Mortal factions, longing for the return of their gods, hunted for Guthix's resting place, eventually killing him and removing the barrier. In death, Guthix has granted you, the World Guardian, his power. Will there be a new God War? Will you seize power for yourself? Or will you AFK train instead?

As time passed, their legend grew but details of their demise were shrouded in mystery. The only clues are the artifacts they left behind. On one Precursor planet, the Eco is now managed by Sages, specializing in their own Eco Type: the life-giving Green Eco, the Blue Eco of motion, the Red Eco of strength, the long-range Yellow Eco, and the destructive Dark Eco. You are a young man named Jak. You've been raised by the Green Sage, Samos, with your best friend, Daxter, and the sage's daughter Keira. For years, Samos told you there is one place on the planet you must never visit: Misty Island. So, rebellious 15 year olds, Jak and Daxter take a boat to Misty Island, but are attacked by an evil Lurker. In the scuffle, Daxter is knocked into a pool of Dark Eco and transformed into an Ottsel. Now the only person who can restore his human form is the Dark Sage, who may not be such a nice guy. Oh, and you'll have to walk because the Sages' teleporters aren't working.

While Dipper enjoys puzzles, science, and uncovering the mysteries of the universe, Mabel is a self-proclaimed “naturally gifted” artist with an assortment of colorful sweaters and an affinity for sparkles and sweets.* Despite their differences, the Pines twins are virtually inseparable. In the summer before their thirteenth birthday, the twins are shipped off to the town of Gravity Falls, Oregon to spend time with their Great Uncle – or Grunkle – Stan. Stan has converted his house into a tourist trap, taking advantage of visitors who believe Gravity Falls is a supernatural locale. Mabel and Dipper, now working at the Mystery Shack with Wendy and handyman Soos, have begun noticing there may be some truth to the rumors. When Dipper stumbles upon a mysterious journal documenting the strange inhabitants and events of Gravity Falls, things are bound to just get weirder.

Andross was quickly exiled to the barren planet, Venom, but Andross discovered Venom was home to lizards and monkeys living beneath the surface. Studying their ancient ruins and harnessing their technologies, Andross built an army of bio-mechanical warriors. As reports of suspicious activity on Venom increased, General Pepper sent the Starfox team to investigate, led by James McCloud, but they were betrayed by Pigma Dengar, one of their own! Only Peppy Hare escaped to warn General Pepper. Andross then declared himself Emperor of the Lylat System and Pepper had no choice but to assemble a new Star Fox Team led by Fox, the son of the missing pilot, James McCloud.

Bison and his Shadaloo organization sought to unleash its most devastating weapon, the Psycho Drive, but he was opposed by some of the world's greatest warriors, including Charlie Nash, who sacrificed his life to bring down Bison once and for all. Unfortunately, Bison dabbled in cloning and simply transferred his consciousness. Sorry, Charlie. After Shadaloo's downfall, the S.I.N. Organization staged a fighting tournament to study the world's greatest warriors, mainly Ryu and his Satsui no Hado. In the aftermath, Ryu was saved from the dark forces inside him by his former master Gouken. Ryu left to study further with Gouken, but Necalli, a mysterious warrior has come to consume Ryu's soul and appease his Aztec gods. Meanwhile, M. Bison has revived Shadaloo and built a new, more devastating psycho device. Thankfully, a mysterious woman named Helen has stapled Charlie Nash back together for a final showdown with his sworn enemy. With a Frankenstein-inspired Charlie, a bearded and shirtless Ryu and a returning cast of fighting favorites, you'll have to survive Necalli's brutal attacks, face off against Shadaloo's new #2, F.A.N.G., and either takedown Bison once and for all or report him to Lucasfilm for building an unlicensed Death Star.

The Fancy plundered its way around Africa to the Arabian Sea. Here the Fancy attacked a Mughal convoy and scored the most profitable raid in history. With a bounty on their heads, the crew disappeared and legends grew of a Pirate Utopia in Madagascar known as Libertalia where Avery retired with his treasure.

As UAC experimented with teleportation, they developed dimensional gateways and opened a gateway to actual hell. Eventually, one scientist, Dr. Olivia Pierce, made a deal with the devil. Pierce and the UAC scientists enhanced the demons, integrating powerful weaponry and even jetpacks into their demon-flesh. They even forcibly possessed humans to become cannon fodder in the upcoming invasion, then Dr. Pierce opened the gate and demon's flooded the base. She had sold out humanity to usher in a hellish new age or something. But Dr. Pierce and Satan forgot about Doomguy who was taking a nap in a nearby bunker. As everyone's favorite one-dimensional space marine protagonist, you'll fight through the UAC base and take the fight to hell as you show Cyberdemons that real bad asses don't make plans, they run around in circles with a chainsaw stomping their enemies faces into the dirt.

One by one, they have extinguished stars casting much of the universe in darkness. To save the universe, the Empress Lenore of Planet Jenner, united the remaining factions. Their efforts were valiant but stars continued to fall to the Varelsi. Seeing no other way to save his people, Lothar Rendain, the Central Commander of the Jennerit Army, betrayed his empress and allied with the Varelsi, even darkening the Jenner Throneworld and everyone on it. As the alliance against the Varelsi crumbled, many stars fell until Solus became the last remaining star in the universe. Lothar now brings the battle to the Solus system, claiming planet Tempest as the Homeward of his new Jennerit Imperium. You must unite the remaining factions: The ancient naturalist order of the Eldrids; the warriors of the lost planets, the United Peacekeeping Republics; the cybernetic weapons manufacturers of the Last Light Consortium; the Jennerit rebels opposed to Rendain's betrayal; and even the free-thinking Rogues from the Detritus Rings.

The artificial beings known as Omnics were built to bolster manufacturing and stabilize the economy, but went rogue, mass-producing militarized models. To fight the Omnic threat, the United Nations created Overwatch, a peacekeeping task force of each nation's greatest heroes. Overwatch quickly ended the crisis.

Volskaya industries still battles rogue Omnics in Russia, the Australia Liberation Front destroyed the Omnic's down under but left the central lands irradiated. Only in the African nation of Numbani do humans and Omnics live together peacefully, making them a target of foreign hostility. In the aftermath, Overwatch was accused of corruption, of no longer keeping the world safe. Overwatch headquarters was destroyed in a mysterious explosion, its leader and second in command were lost and Overwatch disbanded. The world is still a dangerous place.

For centuries, the influence of the Chaos Gods poured through the broken gate, corrupting men and beasts in the North as the races of the Old World battled in the South. The Empire of Men, the most easily corrupted, were once united under the heroic Sigmar, but greed and lust for power have divided them. One man, Karl Franz, fights to unite the Empire once more under his banner. Meanwhile, in the mountains, man's ally King Thorgrim and the Dwarves march from their strongholds to right the injustices recorded in their Book of Grudges, but the Greenskins under Grimgor Ironhide, hungry for combat, have resumed their vicious attacks. Unfortunately from the growing casualties on the battlefield, an undead army is being resurrected by the Vampire Count, Mannfred von Carstein, returned from an unholy pilgrimage, his motives shrouded in mystery. You must decide the Old World's fate.

Épisode 439 - OVERWATCH: Failed MMO turned Superhero Shooter | Development LORE | The Making of Overwatch | LORE

6 juin 2016

Jake “The Voice” Parr takes you behind the scenes of developing Overwatch and how Blizzard made their first first-person-shooter from the ashes of their cancelled MMO, Titan. Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Hey guys! We're trying out a longer-running show for this episode because we think some IPs definitely deserve more than a minute. Should we dive even deeper, or keep it to a minute? Let us know what you think! Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Overwatch Lore here: http://bit.ly/1s7F6l0 Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr: http://jakeparrthevoice.weebly.com/ Animated by digsBot: https://www.youtube.com/user/digsBot Transcript: After MMO juggernaut, World of WarCraft rocked the gaming world, the confidence at Blizzard runneth over. Remembering the joy in building Azeroth and overlooking the struggles, the devs were confident they could go bigger. In 2007, they posted jobs for their Next Gen MMO and World of WarCraft director, Jeff Kaplin, even jumped to the new Project Titan. Set to be larger than the World of WarCraft, the designers dove in, eager to put their mark on Blizzard's first new IP in 17 years, but as Chris Metzen recalls, the connectivity wasn't there. Over 100 people worked on Titan, but everyone worked on their own piece of the game and the project as a whole suffered. After 7 years of development, Blizzard reassigned all but 30 employees to other projects. The skeleton crew was tasked with retooling the now-cancelled project. Embarrassed and humbled, the team was supported by Blizzard coworkers, but the success of games like Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm was only a reminder of their recent failure. They needed redemption, they needed to dedicate the next five years to a game they would enjoy. So the team reminisced about the games that inspired them to pursue careers in the industry. For most of them, these were the first person shooters of the 90's. Many had been in the modding community on Action Quake, Half-Life, and designers Scott Mercer and Geoff Goodman were even in a Team Fortress clan before they ever met in person. As they shared their experiences, they knew their next title should encompass everything they loved about 90's shooters and Overwatch was born. But how would they expand on a genre with classic titles like Doom and Call of Duty? Kaplin knew the genre was trending toward gritty realism and modern military so the team collaborated to create over-the-top heroes like a Zen Robot and an intelligent gorilla, each with unique abilities citing the grapple hook from Quake 2 as inspiration for Overwatch's sniper, Widow Maker. The team also drew inspiration from the growing popularity of MOBAs in which team strategy was paramount. With this in mind, the heroes of Overwatch were separated into four classes (Offense, Defense, Tank and Support) to promote the team dynamic. Finally, after keeping Overwatch under wraps, it was time to announce their new IP at BlizzCon2014. With an outcry of public support and a front row of emotional developers, it was clear that Titan was behind them. In nearly two years since, we've seen prequel comics, a popular beta, and even talks of Overwatch e-sports. So grab some friends, choose your outrageous character, and see why failure is often the first step towards greatness. Have fun!

After years of unrest followed by the Agglomerate Wars, the city was nearly abandoned until the Kruger Uprising attracted many new businesses to the region. As the nation of Cascadia was founded in the year FY00, the city was renamed the city of Glass. But some in Glass were unhappy about the growing influence of the Conglomerates. In November of FY34, a protest was held, but many were killed and the protesters were labelled terrorists. The Conglomerates used the chaos to impose laws and curfews on the citizens, now simply called "Employs". Conglomerate life was seemingly idyllic but had the Employs given up their freedom? As Kruger Security policed the Employs, criminals hired Runners, parkour-inspired couriers who frequent the rooftops of Glass.

When young heroes Llane Wrynn, Anduin Lothar, and the sorcerer Medivh showcased such heroics, they were ordained as the land's defenders. Years later, Llane has become the benevolent King of Stormwind, Lothar leads Stormwind's Army, and Medivh has become the Guardian of Azeroth, isolated in his tower at Karazhan, commanding mystical forces beyond comprehension. As peace endured, the Kirin Tor still sought guardians. One young mage, Khadgar, was chosen, but distrustful of the council, turned his back on his destiny to research the mysterious source of his magical power. Meanwhile, on the other side of the multiverse, Draenor is ruled by clans of Orcs, tusked warriors bred to fight and survive. Savage warriors like Blackhand the Destroyer were worshipped, but those of the Frostwolf Clan were devoted to the Elements, the Spirits of Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Life. The Frostwolves killed only when necessary and never indulged in slavery. They hunted the Frostfire Ridge for generations, but the land suddenly began to dry up. Draenor was dying. After a volcanic eruption destroyed their homes, the Frostwolves migrated north but were visited by an Orc Warlock named Gul'dan dragging a half-breed female, Garona, in chains. Gul'dan invited the Frostwolves to join the Horde, uniting the Orc Clans under his rule to enter a portal to a new world, ripe for the taking. They could join or become murderous cannibals known as Red Walkers as their food dried up. Garona secretly warned Frostwolf Chieftain, Durotan, that her master could not be trusted, but Frostwolf Elder Shaman, Drek'thar, conferred with the Spirits who admitted Draenor could not be saved. With no other choice, Durotan, led his clan south to follow Gul'dan's Horde through the Dark Portal. As Orcs pour into their lands, King Llane must convince the Dwarves, Elves and Humans to unite against the invading Horde.

The government automated the workforce with robotics and managed its citizens daily lives to achieve equality. Competition was eradicated and an everlasting peace was seemingly underway, but the citizens grew bored and restless. Using the Xel technology of Dr. Blackwell, the government developed the robotic competition known as "The Battle Colosseum" to entertain the masses. Many inventors developed robots for the competitions, but none were more popular than The Mighty Numbers, a team of nine robots invented by Dr. White. Unfortunately during one competition, eight of the Mighty Numbers were infected with a mysterious computer virus. Numbers One through Eight went rogue and took over key buildings in the city in order to infect all robots. The only robot unaffected was the weakest of the Mighty Numbers, Number Nine, the robot named Beck. As Beck, you must battle the eight corrupted members of your team with the help of a young robot named Call. Armed with the ability to "kickstart", "transform" and "delay for several months", you'll blast your way through corrupted robots, discover the mysterious villain behind the virus, and make all the haters think twice before they call you Mega Man*.

Strong and intelligent with a taste for humans, they had only one weakness: Sunlight. To overcome this, one Pillar Man, Kars, invented Stone Masks which used acupuncture points in the brain to release their full potential. Kars tested the masks, but they were too weak to work on Pillar Men. Though the masks transformed ordinary humans into vampires, the Pillar Men would need the Red Stone of Aja, but, unable to find it, Kars and the remaining Pillar Men hibernated for centuries. Meanwhile, in the 1800s, one Stone Mask was found in Aztec Ruins by Will A. Zeppeli and his adventuring father. On their ship to Europe, Zeppeli's father donned the mask then massacred the crew before the rising sun destroyed him. Thrown overboard, young Zeppeli watched the ship sail away, but vowed to destroy the mask. So, he studied the way of the Ripple, an ancient martial art that used breathing techniques to harness solar energy. Lost for years, the mask has resurfaced in the home of Jonathan Joestar, also known as Jojo, where his adopted brother, Dio, hopes to use the mask to usurp the family fortune from its rightful heir in a rivalry that will plague the family for generations to come.

Only Planet Aris' royal family opposed Zarkon using Voltron, their legendary defender consisting of five robotic lions. But as Zarkon's power grew, King Alfor scattered the lions to keep Voltron's power from him and placed his daughter, Alura, and her advisor, Coran, in stasis. Zarkon searched for ten thousand years but Voltron remained hidden. Meanwhile, the humans on Earth, unaware of Zarkon's threat and aliens in general, sent scientist Dr. Holt, his son Matt, and young pilot Shiro to Pluto's moons to find primitive life. Instead they were captured by Zarkon, but Earth never knew, deeming the mission a failure. To uncover the truth, a cadet named Pidge joined the Galaxy Garrison, but was teamed with cocky pilot, Lance, and Hunk the ever-hungry comic-relief. One year later, Pidge tracked a crashing ship, and with Lance, Hunk and Garrison washout, Keith, they found Shiro on board babbling about guess who? Voltron! Outfitted with a new cybernetic arm and some dramatically convenient PTSD, his memory is fuzzy, but Shiro knows part of Voltron is on Earth. Shiro must lead the young adventurers to Planet Aris, unite the five robotic lions and form Voltron to slice up Zarkon, his evil Robeasts and anyone who mentions the Power Rangers. Have fun!

Forced to retreat to a cavern beneath the Himalayas, the Cobra-La plotted their return. But as the ice thawed, humanity developed technology and greatly outnumbered Cobra-La. To overthrow humanity, Cobra-La's leader Golobulus enlisted his scientists to develop mutating spores. Unfortunately, it backfired, mutating one scientist's face with eight new eyes, but Golobulus noticed the scientist's ruthless nature and sent him to destroy humanity as Cobra Commander. Creating the terrorist organization, Cobra, the Commander gathered an army with powerful allies like Destro, the Baroness, Zartan, and Doctor Mindbender. To fight Cobra, Colonel Clayton "Hawk" Abernathy, founded America's special missions force, codename "G.I. Joe". But with Hawk buried in paperwork in Washington, Sergeant Conrad "Duke" Hauser leads the Joes and bravely gets captured whenever plots are too thin. As the Joes continually thwart Cobra Commander's schemes to carve his face in the moon, the Cobra-La and his villainous allies grow impatient. If the Joes hope to stop Cobra for good, they'll need to invent ridiculous vehicles, learn Cobra's secret origin and never jump their bikes over downed power lines.

Then Valve released Half-Life. With its skeletal animation and realistic setting, Le eagerly developed his stripped-down mod, Counter Strike. The slower-paced combat and team strategy attracted players but level design was not Le's forte. So former Action Quake community liaison, Jess Cliffe offered help. Wrangling user-created maps and player discussion, Cliffe helped Le update according to community feedback. Together, they approved hundreds of fixes and introduced dozens of maps over several versions in true crowd development. But graduation and real-life approached, and Le decided he needed to turn his hobby into a career and he sold Counter-Strike to Valve. The duo continued updating but by version 1.6 the community resisted change, so instead Valve commissioned a sequel. Fans waited for Condition Zero, but it bounced between four developers, then released to mixed reviews. This time, Valve hired Le to remake Counter Strike using its Source engine. Source played well, but Valve was heavily criticized for ignoring its community and Counter-Strike’s popularity took a hit as gamers strayed to other titles. In 2012, Counter Strike: Global Operations again released to mixed reviews, but this time, Valve listened. They addressed community feedback with strong post-launch support and even million dollar tournaments. With attentive development and an active community, Counter Strike has returned as the benchmark in competitive gaming. Have fun!

Thousands of Sumerians worshipped the Destructor, but the Babylonian god, Tiamat, banished Gozer from our dimension. Thousands of years later, the destruction of World War One convinced weird surgery enthusiast and architect, Ivo Shandor, that humanity was too sick to survive. Gathering a thousand followers, Shandor started the Cult of Gozer. Shandor then designed and built the skyscraper at 55 Central Park West as a means of summoning the Destructor. The Cult also built the New York Public Library, Museum of Natural History, Sedgwick Hotel, and a secret island laboratory. The buildings formed a giant Mandala which focused spirit energy to empower Gozer and allow cult members to live on as ghosts to complete their work. Now it's 1984. Spirit energy has collected in New York, increasing paranormal activity, and classical cellist and resident of 55 Central Park West, Dana Barrett, has a bit of a ghost problem. Thankfully, parapsychologists Ray Stanz, Peter Venkman and Egon Spengler just started their own paranormal investigations and extermination service.

His great grandfather regularly held seances at the family home and his grandfather attempted to build a custom crystal radio to contact the spirit world. Eddie Murphy was originally intended to play the Ghostbusters' first new hire, Winston Zeddemore, but had to decline to work on Beverly Hills Cop and the role went to Ernie Hudson. Pee-wee Herman actor Paul Reubens was also intended to play Gozer, but turned the role down to make Pee-wee's Big Adventure. To market the film, Reitman re-edited the Ghostbusters commercial from the film to include an actual hotline phone number. Callers would be treated to a message from Aykroyd and Murray in character saying they were too busy catching ghosts to answer the phone. Shots of the Ghostbusters running through the streets of New York were shot without permits. In one shot, the crew is actually running from a security guard who can be seen in the background in pursuit of the actors. The Ectomobile was originally painted black, but the color did not read well when the vehicle was shot for night scenes, so the car was repainted white. The Ecto-1 is also in the 2016 film, but as the original was a 1959 Cadillac ambulance, the reboot version is a 1984 Cadillac hearse, which is also repainted from black to white, and is from the same year the original Ghostbusters movie was released. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

William Shatner reportedly tied his fingers together with fishing line and most recent Spock actor, Zachary Quinto, had to glue his fingers into the iconic hand gesture. The Sound Effect used in the 2009 Star Trek remake when the ships doors open is actually the flushing sound of a toilet on board a Russian train. In Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, the men cast as Khan's ragtag crew were all Chippendale's dancers. Star Trek is famous for having the first interracial kiss on television between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols but the original script called for Leonard Nimoy and Nichols to kiss. According to Nichols, Shatner insisted he be the first and the scene was rewritten. Gene Roddenberry believed that men in the future would have little or no body hair. For this reason, a studio barber had to shave Shatner's chest whenever Captain Kirk was to appear without a shirt on. According to Nichelle Nichols, after her first year on the show she resigned, but reconsidered after a fan of the show advised her to stay. That fan: Martin Luther King Jr.! Patrick Stewart originally signed on to The Next Generation for what he called "a paycheck and a suntan". The actor had little faith the show would succeed and even refused to unpack his bags for several weeks. The show eventually lasted 7 seasons and 178 episodes. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Roosevelt in 1933, and Senator Huey Long becomes president. Long keeps America out of World War II, allowing Germany’s invasion of England, Operation Sea Lion, to be successful. Eventually the Brits fought back, but they won by doing something they call the “Very Bad Thing,” an act so traumatizing that the surviving citizens invented a psychotropic drug called Joy to keep them from remembering. Now it’s 1964 in the English island town of Wellington Wells. While this retro-futuristic dystopia is mostly peaceful, some citizens don’t react well to the mandatory intake of mind-altering Joy. These “Wastrels” are forced to live in derelict parts of town and are subject to random beatings from Joy addicts and the police Bobbies who roam the city looking for “Downers.” Arthur Hastings, a clerk working on redacting unpleasant details from archived newspapers, stumbles upon an old story about himself and his brother, causing him to neglect his next dosage of Joy. Now sober and aware of the sick reality he lives in, Arthur’s colleagues high on Joy realize that he isn’t… and that’s a real downer. Have fun!

Though friendly, the Vulcans attempted to halt humanity's progress, but Captain Jonathan Archer led Earth's first starship, the Enterprise NX-01 into the Alpha Quadrant against their wishes. Humanity befriended many species... just not the Romulans, beginning the Earth-Romulan War. To avoid annihilation, both sides signed the Treaty of 2160 creating a Neutral Zone around Romulan Space. To prevent further wars, Earth and friends then founded the United Federation of Planets and trained new explorers at Starfleet Academy. One cadet, James T. Kirk, gained a rebellious reputation, reprogramming the impossible Kobayashi Maru training exercise and several ladies' hearts. Kirk then served aboard the USS Republic and the USS Farragut, but lost his edge when Farragut's crew was killed by a Dikironium Cloud Creature, blaming himself for hesitating at the phaser controls. After a brief teaching gig at Starfleet, Kirk's been given a second chance as captain of the USS Enterprise on its five year mission to find new civilizations. Unfortunately, the Soviets, I mean Klingons!-- have launched their own mission to spread their war-mongering ideologies. So join Kirk and the crew: Spock, Bones, Uhura Sulu, Scotty and all those doomed redshirts as they boldly go where no one has gone before. Have fun! About Star Trek: Star Trek, the original series, was created by Gene Roddenberry and follows the adventures of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), his first officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and medical officer Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley) on board the starship Enterprise. Their mission - to discover strange new worlds and seek out alien life and civilizations. Three seasons of Vulcans, Klingons, and Tribbles followed, making Star Trek one of the biggest successes in the sci-fi genre and led to various films and sequel series, such as The Next Generation and Voyager and films starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, and Zoe Saldana.

Writer John Ostrander was hired to revive the team after DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot and spun it into the Squad we know today. After former Batgirl, Barbara Gordon was paralyzed by the Joker in Alan Moore's graphic novel "The Killing Joke," she made her first reappearance in the Suicide Squad comic series. Though confined to a wheelchair and renamed Oracle, Barbara became an information broker, a recurring alter-ego in several Batman iterations for years to come. Actor Jared Leto insisted on remaining in character as the Joker during production, even gifting Harley Quinn actress Margot Robbie with a pet rat. Robbie kept the rat and named it Rat Rat. To zero in on the perfect Joker laugh, Leto would practice on the street and in restaurants in New York and Toronto to see which would get under people's skin. He even practiced on stage while touring with his band, 30 Seconds to Mars. Margot Robbie personally tattooed several cast and crew members with matching "SKWAD" tattoos, but accidentally misspelled her first attempt "SWAD". Actor Joel Kinnaman had Will Smith do his tattoo, an experience he described as "like watching a drunk baby fly a helicopter." To get the actors to loosen up, director David Ayer not only had the cast reveal their worst fears and the meanest things they'd ever done, he allegedly also had them fight each other, saying, "You learn a lot about who a person really is when you punch them in the face. It gets rid of all the actor stuff." --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Metahumans are everywhere and government official Amanda Waller doesn't trust 'em. So-called heroes like Batman and Superman dole out justice without answering to the government. So Waller and her secretive agency, ARGUS, came up with an alternative: In return for completing impossible black-ops missions against metahuman threats, they offer commuted sentences to super-villains. Lovingly known as the Suicide Squad, the team is implanted with micro-explosives to ensure their cooperation. They're the perfect balance of accountability and deniability. To lead the team in the field, Waller recruited former Special Forces Operative, Rick Flagg Jr. Flagg also brought his own bodyguard, Katana, who wields the Soultaker, a sword that, as its name suggests, takes your soul when it kills you. Just ask her husband! Together, they'll lead a volatile new Squad, including: Deadshot, the gunman that only misses his daughter; Criminal psychologist gone crazy, Harley Quinn; The Rogue from Down Under, Captain Boomerang; Master of knots, Slipknot; The pyrokinetic El Diablo; And scale-skinned muscle, the Killer Croc. And Waller has just given the Squad their first target: The Enchantress, a young woman possessed by an ancient sorceress. Unfortunately, Harley Quinn has a certain murderous ex-boyfriend who may not like that she's playing for a new team. Have fun!

Yet, there was still hope for lore; enter the cutscene… or don’t. Mercifully, there was one who would champion the cause of video game plots everywhere. She cried out “what about video game lore you guys?” and the old TGS meeting hall rejoiced -- peace would finally be restored to the kingdom. But she could not do it alone, so she appointed three others to join her crusade; the playwright, the painter, and the herald. The playwright scoured the world for knowledge, translating and recording his findings. The painter illustrated these words on canvas, then made them dance by way of mysterious magic. The herald constructed the theater and filled it with spectators from every end of the earth. Lastly, our Champion let her voice sweep the vast internet kingdom, ushering in an era of enlightenment. And with that, the fellowship resurrected the forgotten fables of video games. Have fun!

Épisode 457 - UNDERTALE: Fight or Make Friends | Octopimp | LORE in a Minute! | History of The Underground | LORE

11 août 2016

Tune in to LORE Live tomorrow, 8/12, at 2PM PST! Octopimp takes you to past Sans and Papyrus into The Underground, to learn the backstory of Asgore, Toriel, and their realm under Mount Ebott! Just watch out for Flowey!

Rather than check, console or flirt about it, they attacked the monsters starting The War. The humans defeated the monsters, then sealed them deep below Mount Ebott with a magical barrier. Though any being could cross into the Underground, none could return unless they possessed a human/monster soul fusion or had collected seven human souls. Proving to be good sports about the whole war thing, the monsters lived happily for many years beneath Mount Ebbott under Asgore and Toriel, former Nose-Nuzzling champions and King and Queen of the Underground. But one day, Asgore declared war on humanity and began collecting the souls of any humans that wandered into the Underground. When Asgore had collected six souls, Toriel stationed herself in the Ruins to save stray humans and deny her former husband the seventh and final soul. As the latest human child to fall into the Underground, you'll have to disobey Toriel's protective mothering in order to discover the dark story behind the King's hatred of humanity, but be careful because in the Underground, it's kill or be friends.

Épisode 458 - NO MAN’S SKY FAST FACTS! | Procedurally Generating Everything | FamilyJules7X | LORE

Also, NO LOADING SCREENS! The No Man's Sky universe is procedural, but not infinite. Good luck visiting all 18 quintillion planets. Or finding any other players. The planets in No Man's Sky have ecosystems in relation to their proximity to their star. Planets in closer orbit will be barren deserts while planets further out are frozen tundras. These may be great for finding resources, but if you want to discover new life, you'll have to search the so-called Goldilocks Zone. In No Man's Sky, you will actually be discovering new species that you can catalogue and name but there will be filters so no one could possibly sneak any hilariously disgusting names into The Atlas. Not only that, these creatures have unique calls that are generated using software that models their throats based on their body type. No Man's Sky has robots called sentinels that will keep you from wreaking too much havoc in the universe and assign you a wanted level but they aren't on every planet. So find a lawless planet, mine some resources and enjoy anarchy on par with Las Vegas or a Trader Joe's parking lot. While there isn't a story, the developers have teased that there is a lore. Players are even encouraged to make their way to the Center of the Universe. But what's there?! They won't tell us. You’ll have to play the game… or ask the guy who bought an early copy for $1250. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Épisode 459 - JOKER ORIGINS | Development LORE | Backstory of the Clown Prince of Crime | Comicstorian | LORE

17 août 2016

From petty prankster to criminal mastermind, Comicstorian takes you through the inception and evolution of everybody’s favorite super villain, The Joker! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Undertale Lore here: http://bit.ly/2b1t9HP Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by Comicstorian: https://www.youtube.com/user/Comicstorian Animated by The LORE Team: https://www.youtube.com/user/LORE Transcript: When Batman got his own title in 1940, the new series needed a villain. Inspired by The Man Who Laughs, the Joker debuted with a flare for murdering millionaires. Originally intended to die yet saved by the editor’s insistence, no origin story was created for the character, but an attempt was made in 1951. Joker began as the Red Hood, a disguised lab worker stealing a million dollars, but fell into a pool of chemicals while running from Batman. With chemically dyed hair, skin and lips, his appearance drove him mad. In response to 1954’s "Seduction of the Innocent" claims that comics corrupted America’s youth, Joker was rewritten as a gimmicky thief. When editor Julius Schwartz took over, he hated the character so much, he axed Joker completely. Thankfully, Cesar Romero revived the Clown Prince of Crime in the 60's Batman TV show, but like Batman, Joker struggled to overcome Bat-mania's campy humor. With comic sales dropping, DC returned Batman to his dark roots. The Joker was reintroduced* as a criminally insane serial killer in 1973, proving so popular, he became the first villain with his own series. Stories like "The Joker Fish" solidified Joker's demented humor and paved the way for the 80's when Alan Moore's graphic novel, "The Killing Joke", retconned Joker as a struggling comedian with a pregnant wife. A patsy for the Red Hood gang, he fell into a vat of chemicals before losing his mind. He then kidnapped Commissioner Gordon and shot and paralyzed his daughter Barbara. That same year, after fans voted to kill Jason Todd, the Joker beat him to death with a crowbar. Since then, Jack Nicholson, Mark Hamill, Heath Ledger, and Jared Leto have all assumed their own unique takes on the Joker persona. From sappy foil to chaotic criminal counterpoint, Joker has proven many times he's impossible to kill. Have fun!

Now, only one remains, in the Kingdom of Lucis. For generations, its King has protected Lucis with a magical barrier, fueled by the crystal and his own life energy, causing each monarch to age quickly. Using inherited summon swords and a ring which bestows the wisdom of previous kings, current King Regis protects the capital and has magically empowered a chosen unit of soldiers: The Kingsglaive. While magic made Lucis thrive, neighboring nations turned to technology. A rival nation, Niflheim, conquered Eos until only Lucis remained, protected by Regis' magical barrier. But Regis lost his queen in an attack and his son was gravely injured, only awakening after seeing a mysterious light. The princess of Tenebrae, Lunafreya, nursed him to health, but Tenebrae was conquered by Niflheim and Lunafreya was taken. Ten years later, Regis has reluctantly surrendered lands to Niflheim, arranged marriage between Noctis and Lunafreya, and proposed a treaty, but at the signing, Niflheim deceptively invaded. Follow Kingsglaive soldier Nyx Ulric as King Regis tasks him to protect Lunafreya, now a powerful oracle able to talk to the gods. But it won't be easy! Niflheim has taken Lucis' magic crystal and the Kingsglaive's source of power. Have fun! About Final Fantasy XV: Final Fantasy XV is an upcoming RPG from Square Enix and is the fifteenth installment in the long-running franchise. It follows Noctis as he fights to reclaim his kingdom and the world's last magic crystal. Originally directed by Tetsuya Nomura and later passed to Hajime Tabata, the game takes on a darker tone than its predecessors and features more realistic settings. The game was originally known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, but was renamed at the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). A prequel movie, Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XV, will also be released to tie in with the game. Announced in 2016 at the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event, it takes place both before and during the game, focusing on Noctis's father, King Regis, and Kingsglaive soldier Nyx Ulric. The film is directed by Takashi Hasegawa and produced by Hajime Tabata, and features the voice talents of Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad).

The Illuminati researched augmentation to control the population and experimented on infants, but the lab was burned down. The only surviving child was secretly adopted and raised as Adam Jensen, unaware of his past. After a short law-enforcement career, Adam was hired by ex-girlfriend Megan Reed as head of security at Sarif Industries because she secretly knew about his experimental genes. When Sarif was attacked, Adam was fatally wounded and subjected to augmentation, but surprisingly his body did not reject the enhancements. Rescuing Megan and the kidnapped Sarif scientists, Adam learned the Illuminati developed a broadcast signal to control augmented humans, but Darrow instead used the signal to drive the augmented violently mad to prove augmentation only corrupted humanity. It's been two years since Jensen explosively ended "The Aug Incident". Augmented citizens have been forced into ghettos and divided the population. He didn't ask for this, but Adam has joined Interpol's Task Force 29 to fight terrorist threats and secretly report to the Juggernaut Collective, hackers who believe the Task Force is tied to the Illuminati. Unknown to Jensen however, Illuminati member Bob Page has scavenged Darrow's tech and hired Megan Reed to research Nanotech Viruses. What a shame.

For context, Facebook revealed average users spend 50 minutes a day on their platform. Within its first week, the percentage of daily app users of Pokémon GO on Android phones in the US surpassed Tinder, Twitter and even nearly overtook Snapchat. Pokémon GO gyms have shown up in some bizarre places, drawing players to graveyards, London's MI-5 Headquarters, and the front lawns of some confused citizens. One Australian police station had to release a statement asking players to refrain from entering the station to catch Pokémon. While hunting for Pokémon, some Pokémon GO players have stumbled upon more than just Rattatas and Sandshrews. One Wyoming teen found a dead body floating in a river while searching for Pokémon, while in Missouri, four men used the app to lure and mug players. Luckily, most people just find Pokémon. After reading about Pokémon related injuries, Sberban, a Russian bank, is reportedly offering Pokémon GO insurance in anticipation of the title making its way to Russia. Users will be covered for up to 50,000 Rubles or about $800 U.S, so don't go walking off any cliffs in Russia just yet! Trainers who really want to catch ‘em all have resorted to GPS spoofing, which allows these players to fake their location to be anywhere in the world. If the game detects you’re cheating, however, Pokémon will run away from you, Pokéstops won’t serve you, and Gyms just flat-out won’t have you. And once Niantic gets a hold of your account, players have claimed they’ve been temporarily banned from the game. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Saitama defeated the crab, lassoing its eyestalk with his necktie. Invigorated, Saitama began training to become a hero for fun. Unknown to Saitama, the boy told his grandfather about the incident who was inspired to form the Hero Association. The association categorized threats from minor Wolf or Tiger threats to Demon, Dragon, and even God level threats to all of humanity. The association then assigned heroes from four classes: ordinary Class C heroes, Class B, Class A, and the most powerful, Class S. Meanwhile, Saitama trained intensely for three years, even going bald in the process, but became so powerful he could defeat any threat with only one punch. With opponents falling easily, he soon became bored. Even worse, he'd saved the city several times, yet no one knew who he was. To gain the city's respect, Saitama must join the Hero Association but unfortunately he'll have to start by nabbing purse snatchers in Class C as the Caped Baldy and taking on a cyborg apprentice.

After misfires like Chickenman and Clan Walrus, they created Penny Arcade featuring characters later named after their screen names, Tycho, a story-scrutinizing intellectual, and Gabe, a Pac-Man obsessed free-spirit. They pitched the comic to Next Generation Magazine, but were quickly shown the door. They continued posting Penny Arcade online using server space from Efront and running banner ads. With three posts a week, they lampooned gaming news and continued to attract more views, but Efront was out of money and wouldn't pay them. Barely surviving on donations, Mike and Jerry thankfully met business analyst Robert Khoo, who learned they'd signed away book rights, nearly lost intellectual rights, and booked underpaying ad deals. Khoo worked two months free to right the ship. Stabilized by ad and merchandise revenue, Mike and Jerry expanded, founding the Child's Play charity and starting the Penny Arcade Expo or PAX in 2004. Called PAX West, the convention now draws over 60,000 gamers and has expanded to PAX East, PAX South, and PAX Australia. Still, after 15 years, they find time to draw cardboard tube samurai and drunken divx players three times a week. So check out Penny Arcade and...

One travelled to Amestris, bringing the science of Alchemy, while the other travelled to Xing, with the healing art of Alkahestry. As generations passed, the Amestrian government employed state alchemists, acting as the country’s military. Drawing transmutation circles, they could perform impossible feats if they provided something of equal value, in keeping with the Law of Equivalent Exchange. Meanwhile, in the rural Amestrian town of Resembool, Trisha Elric raised two sons, Edward and Alphonse, with her husband Van Hohenheim. But one day, Hohenheim left. Trisha fell ill and passed away, leaving Ed and Al to their neighbor Pinako and her daughter Winry. Heartbroken, the boys obsessively studied Alchemy, in which they both displayed a natural gift. In an effort to resurrect their mother, they attempted the forbidden alchemy of human transmutation, but what's the equivalent of a human soul? In the accident, Ed lost his leg and, to save Alphonse's soul, sacrificed his arm to bind him to a nearby suit of armor. Ed also saw a god-like being in another realm before returning to his body. Now able to perform alchemy without a transmutation circle and armed with automail prosthetics, Ed must find a way to restore Alphonse's body. However, the answer may lie with the dangerous artifacts known as Philosopher's Stones.

After choosing a desert planet they called Far Eden, the humans invented Corebots, robots built with colored cores that could be transferred easily into different mechanical bodies. These Corebots would terraform Far Eden as the humans made the long journey in cryosleep. What could go wrong? You are Joule Adams, a brave young volunteer in the first wave of colonists for the Far Eden colony, but after centuries of cryosleep, rather than the lush paradise you expected, Far Eden is a desert wasteland. Furthermore, it looks like you're the only human left on the planet and the Corebots, rather than develop the planet, have developed a violent anti-human agenda. Armed with a grappling hook, some color-coded ammunition and a canine corebot companion named Mack, you'll need to enlist the help of some new corebots to survive and navigate the ruins unearthed by violent sandstorms. It's up to you to discover the cause of the malfunction and get Far Eden back on track or there will be plenty of disappointed and probably dead colonists. No pressure.

But Orochi was defeated and sealed away by three families: The Kusanagi, Yasakani, and Yata clans. Centuries later, the seal weakened. Orochi empowered eight individuals to search for a way to free their lord. The four most powerful were called the Heavenly Kings, controlling each of four elements: Fire, Earth, Lightning and Wind. As Leopold Goenitz, the Heavenly King of Wind searched, he encountered arms dealer Rugal Bernstein. Goenitz easily defeated Rugal, taking one of his eyes in combat, but secretly empowered Rugal with some of Orochi's power to test his worth as a host body for Lord Orochi. So Rugal travelled the world, fighting everyone and encasing his opponents in liquid metal as trophies, but soon became bored. Needing a challenge, Rugal's secretaries, Mature and Vice, invited the world's greatest fighters to a new tournament, The King of Fighters! To stop the madman, Saisyo Kusanagi, patriarch of the Kusanagi clan arrived, but was easily defeated. As Saisyo's son, Kyo Kusanagi, you've just received an invitation to the tournament. Teamed with Goro Daimon and Benimaru Nikaido, you must fight your way to the top or risk becoming one of Rugal's trophies.

During this time, a self-replicating nano-virus, SIVA, was invented that could take any shape. It was used to quickly construct cities and expand humanity's reach. But when the Traveler sacrificed itself against the mysterious entity, The Darkness, humanity came under attack from several extraterrestrial enemies. Under its floating visage, humanity's remaining population built The City, humanity's last stronghold. To strengthen The City's defenses, a group known as the Iron Lords used SIVA, but the nano-virus turned against them. Unable to destroy the virus, The Iron Lords buried it deep under the Cosmodrome, but only one member, Saladin Forge, survived. This area, now called the Plaguelands, was quarantined for centuries, but the southern wall of Old Russia has been breached. The Fallen House of Devils has scoured the Golden Age ruins, reaching the Cosmodrome and unearthing the long buried SIVA virus. Splicers have augmented the Devils and the surrounding area with the forbidden technology and are now heading toward The City. Facing the threat that wiped out his brothers-in-arms, Saladin is looking for guardians to help reclaim their strategic temple at Felwinter Peak and protect the city as the new generation of Iron Lords.

They built a new game engine and, to tackle their proposed first person shooter MMO game, they hired Joe Staten, a writer from the Halo series. His handpicked writing team crafted the lore and campaign, but in 2013, Staten presented a supercut to Bungie and his story was scrapped. A year away from release and believing anyone can be writers if they try, Bungie staff held creative meetings called "Iron Bar" to reuse assets from Staten's plot. A second creative team, “Blacksmith”, then stitched together the story missions into a passable narrative and in September 2014, Bungie released their new title: Destiny. Destiny sold 10 million units on its first day, but the hype quickly turned to disappointment. Though Destiny looked great, the story missions were uninteresting grinds, the leveling system maddening, the voice-acting laughable, and the glitches plenty. Bungie reworked the first DLC, The Dark Below, to address these issues but all the firefighting left the new content insubstantial, further frustrating the fans. As Bungie struggled with a troublesome game engine, Community Managers Urk and Deej were buried in feedback. Gamers signed off en masse and Bungie needed to win back its community. To help, Activision sent over Diablo 3 director Josh Mosquera, who knew a thing or two about criticized launches. His team advised ditching random numbers and designing quests guaranteed to reward players, among many helpful tips. The House of Wolves expansion addressed many difficulty and loot scarcity issues and Bungie invested in listening to its community, in part by hiring the Destiny Subreddit creator as Community Manager. So Bungie scrapped DLC bundles for an annual model with microtransactions, allowing for a steady stream of content and fixes. They also replaced disappointing voice over by Peter Dinklage with Nolan North, and hired actual writers! Their grand plans for huge expansions were instead written as focused, more interesting stories like raiding the Hive Dreadnought or rebuilding the legacy of the Iron Lords. But really -- we just want Destiny 2.

Along the way, the Bat family grew, but after several defeats, the chaotic clown the Joker tore them apart. He injured Nightwing and kidnapped Tim Drake, the young Robin. Batgirl and Batman caught up with Joker, but he'd tortured Tim into becoming Joker Jr. Tim turned on and killed Joker in the ensuing fight, but the damage was done. In the aftermath, Nightwing retired from crime-fighting, Tim spent years in therapy, and Batgirl joined her father in the GCPD. Bruce continued protecting Gotham, never taking another protege. But after 30 years, Bruce's body showed its age. He supplemented his strength with upgraded tech, but a heart attack forced his retirement. Bruce hung up his cowl and became a reclusive shut-in. Without Bruce Wayne leading it, Wayne Enterprises merged with a corrupt conglomerate to become Wayne-Powers Enterprises. Crime in Gotham also bounced back and new Commissioner Barbara Gordon's in over her head. Though Joker's dead, local street gang the Jokerz carry on his chaotic work, but young hothead Terry McGinnis just interrupted one of their muggings. When the Jokerz murder his father, Terry must learn what happened to the Batman and convince that crusty old billionaire to train him as a new, totally schway Dark Knight.

He has since gone on to voice Lion-O, Blue Beetle, Ron Possible, Green Arrow, and many more. After Joel Schumacher gave Batman nipples, Warner Brothers was eager to reboot the Caped Crusader. Boaz Yakin, director of Remember the Titans, collaborated with series writers Paul Dini and Alan Burnett on a live-action Batman Beyond script, but ultimately, Warner dropped it for Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. In countries abroad, "Batman Beyond" was retitled "Batman of the Future". In fact, the working title for the series was "Tomorrow Knight", then later changed to "Batman Tomorrow" but the studio worried this would make promos for the show confusing. "On today's episode of Batman Tomorrow... today." The producers originally planned for Mr. Freeze to appear as a disembodied, but still living, head in a Bat Cave freezer and Terry would find it while fetching a drink. It was scrapped as an unfitting end for the popular villain and he was reintroduced with a new mechanical body in the Season 1 episode "Meltdown". Even though the studio kept pushing for it, the writers of Batman Beyond refused to make Matt McGinnis, Terry's younger brother, the new Robin. The studio even suggested giving Matt a motorcycle hidden behind a secret dumpster. Thankfully, the writers left those ideas hidden in the secret dumpster where they belonged. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

For millennia, Raava restrained Vaatu, keeping the world balanced. Ages later, a man named Wan was banished to the Spirit Wilds for misusing his firebending ability. Initially unwelcome, Wan befriended the spirits until one day they stampeded as Raava and Vaatu battled. Wan intervened and, tricked by Vaatu's helplessness, severed Raava's hold. Vaatu corrupted nearby spirits and Wan swore to help recapture him, but Raava refused. To become stronger, Wan sought to control more elements. When the Air Lion Turtle granted him airbending, Raava agreed to an alliance. Mastering the four bending arts, Wan merged with Raava, becoming the first Avatar, trapping Vaatu in the Tree of Time and sealing off the Spirit World. Wan dedicated his life to balance and his spirit reincarnates every generation as the new Avatar, controlling the four bending arts. Years later, Avatar Aang and Firelord Zuko united the world in the United Republic of Nations, but Aang has passed, thankfully never learning his grandson became a fartbender.

Gollop landed with Civilization publisher MicroProse, but MicroProse wanted something more ambitious, which at that time pretty much meant ALIENS, and that’s when they landed on a PC title about UFOs. Inspired by Bob Lazar's book on recovering alien tech at Area 51 and the UFO TV series, Gollop designed a mix of resource development and turn-based strategy into UFO: Enemy Unknown, but with only a four person team and no PC programming experience, their 18 month deadline passed quickly. Shareholder Spectrum Holobyte called for cancellation but Microprose simply chose to ignore them and never told Gollop, so his team continued to work on what was supposed to be a scrapped game. Secretly in development for 30 months, Spectrum Holobyte had no choice but to release the finished game. UFO: Enemy Unknown -- or XCOM in North America -- was a surprising hit, spawning four sequels but the franchise was then acquired by Hasbro. Hasbro's only XCOM title, Enforcer, was regarded as one of the worst spinoffs ever. XCOM bounced around for years in sales and mergers before landing at Firaxis Games. Long-time fan, Jake Solomon spearheaded his dream remake, but the dated combat system made a faithful remake difficult. After years of work, 2012's XCOM: Enemy Unknown released to critical acclaim, with XCOM 2 following in 2016. So cowboy up and experience some permadeath in one of the greatest franchises ever.

During the Era of Silence, humanity enjoyed peace, but as technology advanced, an energy crisis arose. Thankfully, Dr. Helen Cooper discovered the energy potential for abundant resource, Imulsion, using the Lightmass Process. So back to war it is! As nations fought in the Pendulum Wars, the Coalition of Ordered Governments covered up the fact Imulsion miners had become sick from exposure. A few secret experiments later, the Locust species was spawned because we needed something to shoot at. The Locusts settled in the Hollow beneath Sera, but some were further mutated by Imulsion, becoming the Lambent and beginning the Locust Civil War. Locust Queen Myrrah contacted scientist Adam Fenix to cure Lambency, but he was busy building the Hammer of Dawn to win the Pendulum Wars for the COG instead. Lambent numbers grew and Locusts were forced to invade the surface and kill millions of people on Emergence Day. Eventually, humans turned the Hammer of Dawn on the Locusts, destroying 90% of Sera's surface in a generic commentary on WMDs. Anyway, Adam Fenix discovered that Imulsion was in fact a parasite that would bring the planet to extinction! ...Probably. Activating the countermeasure he invented, he killed Locust, Lambent and anything infected by Imulsion, including himself. Dying, he urged his buff-n-stuff son, Marcus Fenix, to hang up his Lancer, leave the familiar faces and worn out places behind, and live a happier life. 25 years later, Sera is free of Imulsion but violent windstorms now plague the surface. Marcus has settled with Anya in one of COG's walled citadels, but his estranged son, J.D. and his pal Del were chased out for unknown reasons. After going AWOL on a classified mission, J.D. and Del befriend an outsider, Kait, and stumble on the hive of Sera's new dramatically convenient threat, the Swarm.

For this reason, the IP was sold to Microsoft because if Gears 4 was anything less than a smash hit, it would bankrupt the company. Head of the Coalition, Rod Fergusson has a tattoo of the Crimson Omen, the gear and skull logo from the Gears of War franchise, although rumors that he will be getting neck-reduction surgery like all the men in Gears of War are completely ridiculous. He does occasionally wear Marcus Fenix’s do-rag, however. The Berserker in Gears 1 is a Locust female chained down for breeding, a notion that designer Cliff Bleszinski recently admitted was "****** up" and he was in a dark place, presumably due to his messy divorce which inspired much of the game's development. For Gears of War 3, Epic sold two opposing t-shirts to determine the fate of Delta Squad Rookie, Clayton Carmine. Your purchase not only cast your vote to either "Save Carmine" or "Kill Carmine", but all proceeds went to the Child's Play charity. Oh and Carmine was saved in case anyone was worried he'd end up like Jason Todd. In Gears of War, the developers originally intended Lieutenant Minh Young Kim to be female and also wanted to let players choose Dom's gender as either Dominic or Dominique, but the first playable female character wouldn't arrive until Gears 3 with the introduction of ol' band-aid-eye, Private Samantha Byrne. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Designer Cliff Bleszinski was handed the reins to sequel, Unreal Warfare, which featured soldiers in mechs in an enclosed arena, but after several delays the title was rebuilt in the new Unreal Engine 3. As the game split from Unreal, Bleszinski also split from his wife in a messy divorce. He dove into depression and therefore games, finding new influences in Resident Evil 4 and Killswitch. His new game needed to be a tactical third-person shooter. Inspired by a recent trip to London, Bleszinski created a new IP about destroyed architectural beauty and a subtle metaphor for his divorced life, reborn dudebro, Marcus Fenix. After a few Eminem-inspired pushups in his hotel room, Bleszinski pitched Gears of War to Microsoft. Gears of War launched to universal acclaim, becoming Xbox's second billion dollar franchise but three sequels later, Epic faced two dilemmas: The budget for Gears 4 skyrocketed to 100 million dollars and Bleszinski just... kinda stopped coming to work. So after a Bleszinski buyout, Epic happily sold the IP to Microsoft. Microsoft assigned the Gears franchise to Black Tusk Studios and hired original Gears producer Rod Fergusson as studio head. The studio renamed itself the Coalition with the sole purpose of perpetuating the franchise, which can only mean one thing: They’re sinking more cities with a GIANT WORM!

Europe's major powers were divided into the Triple Entente of Great Britain, France and Russia and the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austro-Hungary, and Italy. Then in 1914, Austro-Hungarian heir, Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo. Austro-Hungary declared war on Serbia but fellow Slavic nation, Russia, intervened. Germany knew supporting Austro-Hungary meant conflict with Russia's allies and moved against Paris on the Western Front. The battleground became a series of trenches stretching from the English Channel all the way to Switzerland. As soldiers fought for inches, tanks, aerial dogfights, and chemical weapons made World War I even deadlier. Meanwhile, Britain mobilized its world-class navy, requiring oil from the Ottoman Empire. Unfortunately, they'd just buddied up to Germany and Austro-Hungary as the Central Powers. With the help of T.E. Lawrence, the British incited Arabian revolt. Now 1918, the war has raged for three and a half years, but the Allies have lost Russia to revolution. Fortunately, Germany's U-boat attacks and the Zimmerman Letter have incited the United States. Will the British and French hold off the Central Powers until they arrive? Can Italy reclaim lands lost to the Austro-Hungarians? Did we just disguise this history lesson as a LORE?

Octopimp dives into the history of DICE, team-based shooters, and the Battlefield franchise as a whole in Battlefield Development LORE! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Battlefield 1 Lore here: http://bit.ly/2dqQpSp Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Animated by Mister Chris: https://www.youtube.com/user/MisterChristicle/ Transcript: In 1992, Johan Perrson and Patrick Soderlund began work on a new game engine specializing in virtual environments. Over several smaller racing titles, they refined their Refraction Engine and soon created their own IP, the alternate history shooter, Codename Eagle. While most late 90's shooters involved running through corridors Codename Eagle featured huge maps with functioning tanks and planes. Despite terrible AI in single player, Team Deathmatch made the game a cult hit. Swedish developer Digital Illusions, or DICE, happily absorbed the 18-man studio who brought along their new World War II shooter. With DICE, they upped the team to 25 and publisher EA provided invaluable game testing. Expansive maps, numerous simultaneous players, and a publisher who could advertise made Battlefield 1942 a hit. DICE impressed fans further when they embraced modding for Battlefield 2. But a few titles later, the franchise needed something new. The Refraction Engine was dated. Electronic Arts purchased DICE's shares, giving DICE the resources to develop the Frostbite engine. With Frostbite, the franchise now had destructible environments and improved graphics and sound for Battlefield: Bad Company. Through highs and lows, it's clear gamers love Battlefield. At least that's what EA's counting on because 13 million just played Battlefield 1's open beta and they’re churning out a game every holiday season. Let’s just hope they stay away from Hardline and stick to Bad Company in the future.

As colonies grew, resources and technology were needed and excavation company, Hammond Engineering, met the demand. Using military exo-skeleton technology, Hammond designed advanced mechs for cargo transportation, salvage missions, and definitely not killing. These soon-to-be murder mechs were called Titans. Soon Hammond Engineering controlled shipping lanes and maps databases, using legal aggression against the populace as the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation, because even in space, villains are incorporated. Freedom fighters banded together under the Frontier Systems Territorial Defense Pact, allying with homesteaders and criminals as the Frontier Militia. Led by triggered Ex-IMC soldiers, the Militia took out strategic bases and refueling stations but here we are with a sequel so the fight is far from over. You are Militia rifleman Jack Cooper. For years you've dreamed of piloting a titan and watched your best friend Captain Lastimosa become the most talented combat certified pilot. In secret, he has given you pilot training, which is incredibly convenient because he was just killed in action and his titan, BT-7274, refuses to work with anyone but you. Your mission will take you to the planet Typhon where you’ll have to contend with the IMC, fight off the local fauna, and make friends with a robot. But don’t worry, you can parkour your way out any problem… except a Smart Pistol.

Signing several of their Call of Duty creative team, they started Respawn Entertainment. With plenty to prove, they hoped to compete with multiplayer juggernauts like Halo and Gears of War, but as a new studio, their budget was limited. Scrapping single player, they focused their efforts on a multiplayer-only title, Titanfall. Mech-piloting parkour soldiers and dedicated servers impressed and sold plenty of Xbox Ones to the multiplayer community, but they wanted more from this sci-fi-title-that-could. Thankfully, profits from Titanfall enabled the young studio to expand. The Respawn team was split between multiplayer development and the titan-spankin' new single player campaign, including former Call of Duty and NCIS writer, Jesse Stern. Together they focused on the bond between pilot and Titan and the needy shouts of a narrative-starved community. Respawn also announced Titanfall 2 would no longer be Xbox exclusive, reaching a much larger audience by adding PS4 and PC. Their already impressive servers were strengthened with additional cloud-based and physical servers and the studio hopes competition will grow with the help of a new squad-inspired matchmaking system called Networks. Did someone say e-sports? I think Respawn wants someone to say e-sports.

Directing classic films like Disco Devil and Nightmare Summer, audiences were left wanting more campy thrills. But over time, the eccentric director faded from the spotlight to work on his next tale of terror. Into the 80s, audiences assumed Wyler was a hopeless recluse, but one day he invited four young actors to audition for his groundbreaking new film. Willard's fearsome foursome included A.J. the jock, Poindexter the nerd, Sally the Valley Girl, and Andre the Rapper because stereotypes are a fun time capsule. The actors were treated to a screening of Wyler's films, but soon found themselves sucked into the movie FOR REALZ!

As civilization expanded, the UNSA created the Solar Alliance Treaty Organization to keep the peace. Soldiers braved exotic environments and extreme conditions finding new planets but insurgency, and a lack of Burger Towns, halted expansion. After a War of Secession, a militant group known as the Settlement Defense Front opposed the UNSA. Their fleet headed for Earth led by Rear Admiral Salen Kotch who vowed the SDF would not simply break free, but break the UNSA. The UNSA prepared for battle, but surprise attacks on both their Geneva Headquarters and the Gateway Port on the Moon crippled their forces. Losing their military brass and all but two warships in the attacks, humanity turns to Lt. Nick Reyes to protect the Earth at all costs. As Reyes, you've proven your skill in combat, but are now forced into the captain's chair. Gather every soldier and wise-cracking military robot aboard the warship Retribution to blast off against the fanatic SDF forces because in Call of Duty, you are told to do everything.

Soon, Sid churned out flight simulators while Bill called computer stores asking for the games, pretending to be customers. He'd then conveniently call offering the stores their titles. Eventually, they left their jobs to focus on their gaming company, MicroProse. Sid's flight sims sold well, but Bill worried Sid's new adventure game wouldn't appeal to his fans. Thankfully, actor Robin Williams suggested putting Sid's name on the box. Sid Meier's Pirates! was a surprising hit, so Sid stepped down from management to focus on design, but new management wanted deadlines. Inspired by Risk and Sim City, Sid spent months working with board game designer, Bruce Shelley, on a real-time strategy prototype, but was reassigned when they wouldn't set a deadline. After Sid Meier's Covert Action, they revisited their prototype, realizing real-time gameplay wasn't working. Instead, they used turn-based gameplay and branching technology trees to create a non-linear strategy game for the ages. Though barely advertised, 1991's Sid Meier's Civilization exploded by word of mouth, made Ghandi a nuclear terror, and catapulted Sid to legendary status.

Returning as The Outsider, he was worshipped by ancient civilizations but only whale bone relics remain. Eventually, the region's abundant whale oil fueled technological advancement, The Empire of the Isles was founded and its new religion, Abbey of the Everyman, outlawed worship of The Outsider. But the Outsider still took interest in eight mortals, granting them magical abilities. Three such individuals were linked to the Empress of the Isles, Jessamine Kaldwin: Delilah Copperspoon, her vengeful childhood friend and head of the Brigmore Witch Coven. Daud, the assassin that killed Jessamine and kidnapped her daughter Emily. And Corvo Attano, falsely accused Royal Bodyguard and secretly Emily's father. Plagued by guilt, Daud was spared by Corvo and discovered Delilah planned to possess Emily Kaldwin using a painting of the girl. Instead, Daud switched the portrait with a painting of The Void and Delilah was sucked into it, seemingly lost forever.

How could the franchise mascot fall to a ninja with a tongue for a scarf, you ask? The winning Pokemon would be distributed as a free download, so that might have had something to do with it. If you're a fan of Vulpix or Sandshrew and their evolutions in Sun and Moon, you may be looking in the wrong places. The former fire and ground types moved to the snow-capped mountains of the Alola Region, becoming Ice-Types. For Pokemon Sun and Moon, the two titles have a time difference in the game clock. While Pokemon Sun operates in real time with your 3DS, Pokemon Moon will be set 12 hours apart because you would never stay up playing Pokemon Sun until 3AM, right? The obligatory Professor for Pokemon Sun and Moon, Professor Kukui, continues the name scheme established by Professor Oak, Elm, Birch and more. The Kukui, or Candlenut, is the Hawaiian State Tree known for bearing a nut high in oil content. Meanwhile, Professor Kukui will definitely be known for baring skin. Girth remains to be seen. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Épisode 490 - FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM | LORE in a Minute! | Harry Potter Prequel | SmallishBeans

Unable to coexist peacefully, Wizards established the Ministry of Magic in Britain to enforce the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, which forbids the enchantment of Muggle property, underage use of magic without a license and other tenets to hide magic's existence from Muggles. A similar authority, The Magical Congress of the United States, was also founded in America after the Salem Witch trials. In the 1900s, young wizard Newton Artemis Fido Scamander watched his mother raise Hippogriffs and his interest in magical creatures grew. He attended Hogwarts School, but when his creatures endangered other students, he was expelled. Never discouraged, Newt rose through the ranks of the Ministry's Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. His knowledge and enthusiasm led publisher Augustus Worme to commission Newt for a book, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Now in 1926, join Newt Scamander in New York City. In his travels, he's rescued many creatures, storing them in pocket dimensions in his briefcase, but a clumsy No-Maj (American Muggle) just released them accidentally. Newt will need help to find his creatures, because the Magical Congress wants him arrested and his little breach of Wizarding Secrecy could start a Wizard-No-Maj war.

These artifacts were found by Night Elves and used during the War of the Ancients to close Burning Legion portals. But Night Elf Illidan Stormrage seemingly sided with the Legion, receiving fiery eyes and rad tattoos from Sargeras himself. Labelled Betrayer, Illidan was imprisoned for ten thousand years. Sargeras promised Orc Shaman Gul'dan power to lead the Legion. After invading, Gul'dan raised the Broken Isles from the sea, found the Tomb of Sargeras, but was killed by demons instead, his skull becoming a demonic artifact. Illidan, a sucker for power and foolish bargains, consumed the Skull of Gul'dan, becoming half-demon, and made a deal with Kil’jaeden for even more power to kill the Lich King. ignored the deal to train demon hunters and rule Outland, then got beat up by the Lich King's champion anyway. He returned to Outland only to be killed by Maiev Shadowsong. Anyway, after Garrosh used some never-confusing time travel, Gul'dan of this alternate timeline helped Archimonde plan a new invasion. Defeated, Archimonde transported this Gul'dan to the Broken Isles of the main timeline. Here he found Illidan's body, reopened the Tomb of Sargeras, and created portals for the Burning Legion. And you'd better find those Pillars of Creation if you hope to stop him.

Ross: https://www.youtube.com/vghangover http://vghangover.com/ Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/MasterYorgi Transcript: Our story takes place in the world of Eos, whose people enjoy the gift of magic thanks to the light of crystals given to them by ancient gods. Not surprisingly, the kingdoms of Eos mainly use this gift to wage war on each other until most of the crystals are destroyed. Without their magic, the remaining states invent shiny new magitek war machines to continue the fight. Eventually the militaristic Niflheim Empire emerges as the global power, conquering all but one territory. That holdout is the kingdom of Lucis, where King Regis the 113th protects the world’s final crystal. He’s got a ring that lets him summon magical swords and shields, which is important because Niflheim reeeaally wants to get its hands on that crystal. After years of war, Niflheim and Lucis are finally on the verge of signing a peace treaty. To symbolize the agreement between the two states, Noctis, the prince of Lucis, is to be wed to Lady Stella— err, Lady Lunafreya, the princess of Imperial-occupied Tenebrae. Now, as Noctis, all you need to do is grab your bros and anime-road-trip to the wedding so everyone can live happily ever after!

The film, Kingsglaive, also reeled in top-notch English voice talent with Aaron Paul, Lena Headey and professional dead-man-walking Sean Bean. The game strays from previous Final Fantasy titles by using a Real-Time Combat system like Kingdom Hearts. Director Hajime Tabata explained they wanted to emphasize exploration of the game's open world, switching between exploration and combat seamlessly, but only the first half of Final Fantasy XV will be open world while the second half will be story-driven. If it feels like you waited forever for Final Fantasy XV, that's because it was announced at E3 in 2006 (though it was called Final Fantasy Versus XIII back then) It has since been reworked for next gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox One. After 10 years of development, what could go wrong? Though there are women integral to the game's narrative, there are actually zero playable female characters in Final Fantasy XV. To paraphrase Game Director Hajime Tabata, the presence of a female character would change the dynamic of the core group's bromance. Japanese fashion house, Roen, designed the clothing for Final Fantasy XV's characters and now you can match your favorite character. Noctis' outfit (his Military Blouson Z, cropped pants, sheepskin gloves, and socks) costs nearly $2500 and Prompto's leather vest alone will set you back $2000. Hopefully, you've been saving. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

After 2 years of teases, they wowed E3 2009 with The Last Guardian... then disappeared again until Tokyo Game Show 2010 promising a 2011 holiday release date. Psych! When unexpected bugs arose, creator Fumito Ueda and Sony butt heads. A rumored demo on the Ico and Shadows of the Colossus Collection was quickly squashed. Sony then moved the game to PS4 and Ueda quit, becoming a consultant to honor his contract kinda. Fans assumed Trico was cancelled. Sony enlisted its other studios to lend a hand but the trademark for the Last Guardian expired in 2012 and the game became an industry joke for looming cancellation. Even Sony officials couldn't agree if the game was active, on hiatus, or caught in a dumpster fire. Just as the internet moved on, Sony jumpstarted The Last Guardian hype machine again at E3 2015. Showcasing improved, but old, footage now for the PS4, fans were skeptical. An October 2016 release was optimistically announced then, not surprisingly, delayed until December. Will The Last Guardian live up to the hype, or should we have uploaded Minecraft LORE instead?

The lab experimented on a local insect’s ability to do just that… but instead they reanimated the corpses of lab animals. And right on cue, the insects escaped and spread a zombie parasite, leaving Uncle Sam to cover it all up by killing anything and everything in the city. Survivor Carlito Keyes later experimented on fifty orphans, creating sleeper zombies and one orphan containing the cure. Then, with his sister Isabela, he vengefully released Queens in Willamette, Colorado. Guilt-stricken, Isabela fixed a temporary vaccine so photojournalist Frank West could foil Carlos' plans at zombie-infested Parkview Mall. While Isabela developed the Zombrex Drug, Frank became an overnight celebrity. But when his TV show was cancelled, he helped motocross champion Chuck Greene expose Zombrex producer Phenotrans for causing the Vegas Outbreak. Believing Frank left her behind, Isabela hatched her own plan, found orphan number twelve and created the zombie cure. Embittered by endless coverups, Frank now teaches photojournalism, but his student, Vick, just got a tip about an awesome minigolf course just outside of Willamette! Just kidding, it’s a shady government laboratory. Together, they uncover a highly unethical cloning experiment, though instead of coming away with a breaking story, Vick loses control and leaves Frank with all the blame. Sometime later, a ZDC colonel discovers Frank has been teaching wedding photography under the brilliant alias, Hank East, and recruits him to investigate yet another outbreak where it all began: the Willamette Memorial Megaplex Mall.

The King of Death gave each of the Shinigami a Death Note, a notebook that grants them the ability to kill any human and extend their own lifespan by writing his or her name in it. A Shinigami can only die if they go long periods without writing names or use their Death Note to save a human's life. But while some Shinigami gambled to pass the time, Ryuk grew bored and stole Sidoh's Death Note. Back on Earth, a famous inventor named Watari founded Wammy's House, an orphanage for gifted children. His most gifted student, known only as "L", became the world's most famous detective. Though reclusive, he solved the world's most bizarre cases. But while L embraced the justice system, brilliant Japanese student Light Yagami grew cynical of the world's revolving door justice, which he believed failed to punish criminals for their crimes. This caught Ryuk's attention. Inscribing his stolen Death Note with a list of rules, Ryuk just dropped it into Light Yagami's calculating hands. Able to kill with the written word, Light hopes to show the world true justice. But will his police chief father or the world-famous L discover his identity before he can rid the world of evil men and become its new god?

Albuquerque, New Mexico also held a vote to ban Death Note, but it was quickly voted down. Unfortunately, the Death Note series has inspired several copycat crimes including a murder in Belgium where a Death Note-inspired notebook was left behind with the phrase "I am Kira" written in poorly translated Latin inside. Reminder: Murder is bad. And those guys were caught. In the manga, unapologetic pop star, Misa Amane was drawn with jewelry and outfits using Crosses as a recurring motif, but these were changed to Fleur-de-lis for the anime to avoid religious backlash. Someone should have told the animators for the opening sequence though. After L showcased some bizarre fighting moves in episode 18 of the Death Note anime, fans assumed he was using Capoeira, a Brazilian form of dance fighting. Though not his original intent, creator Tsugumi Ohba loved the idea and declared L's capoeira as canon. Light and L are rivals in every sense, even in their choice of operating system! In Episode 2 of the Death Note anime, Light is using a PC and L uses a Mac! Will Light be the first to Control-Alt-Delete or will L have to Force Quit his investigation?

After centuries of conflict, the Templars allied with the Catholic Church and used the 15th century Spanish Inquisition to hunt the Assassin's down, claiming they were heretics. But one Assassin, Aguilar de Nerha hid the powerful artifact they were seeking. Despite the lost artifact, the Templars grew powerful and rebranded themselves in the 21st century as the Abstergo Foundation. Headed by Alan Rikkin, the foundation secretly worked toward controlling the world, developing the Animus Project, a machine which unlocks the genetic memories of a person's ancestors. They have hunted down the Assassin's ancestors and used the Animus to learn the Order's secrets. And finally, after years of searching, they've found Aguilar's descendent: Callum Lynch, an aimless criminal on death row. Led to his execution, Callum instead woke up in Abstergo Industries. Now part of the Animus Project, the Templars are forcing him to relive Aguilar's memories but the Bleeding Effect starts to distort his sense of reality. As Callum learns more, he’ll gain the skills and knowledge of his Assassin heritage, continue the age-old war against the Templars, and hopefully make us forget about Unity.

Good thing humans developed gravity technology for quicker travel and terraforming because Earth was a real mess. The two largest nations, the U.S. and China spearheaded the new Global Exodus Alliance, using Earth's remaining resources to build Arks to the new Verse. Unfortunately, the Arks were still sub-light. An entire generation was born and died en route to their new home, not to mention ship malfunctions doomed thousands to drift endlessly. But those who made it settled mostly around the White Sun on planets like Londinium and Sihnon. These central planets established Parliamentary government as the Union of Allied Planets. The Alliance believed government control improved citizen's lives. They encouraged religious freedom, ethnic diversity, even rebranded the sex trade with culturally acceptable "companions". Sure, they monitored citizens at all times while covering up shady human experiments and assassinating people, but hey, companions! Life was so great, the Alliance even tried to force it on rim planets like Shadow and Hera. Not so fast. The rim planets declared themselves the Independent Faction, and thus the Unification War began. Over five years, many rim planets were damaged, the Battle of Sturges left a debris-filled graveyard in space, and, even when their leaders surrendered, Browncoats like Mal Reynolds and Zoe Alleyne fought bravely for two weeks but ultimately lost at the Battle of Serenity Valley. Still bitter about the war, Mal and Zoe fixed up an old Firefly-class transport ship, named it Serenity and put Zoe's husband Wash in the pilot seat. Together, they'll stick to the lawless edge of the Verse taking odd jobs and strange passengers. Unfortunately for the Serenity, their newest passenger can kill you with her brain and the Alliance will do anything to get their hands on her... and Fox will cancel this show because they’re the worst.

But only a year later, an experimental gate exploded, taking a chunk of the moon with it. Billions perished from the resulting radiation and lunar debris and humanity was forced to terraform the rest of the solar system. As Mars became the new center of human civilization, Earth was mostly abandoned. As Earth became a distant memory, economies boomed on other planets under fledgling governments, but despite the establishment of the Inter-Solar System Police, crime syndicates quickly grew powerful. One of the most influential was the Red Dragon led by Mao Yenrai, but Mao's old age soon led to a power struggle in the syndicates. One ISSP officer, Jet Black, investigated the syndicates, but lost his arm in an ambush. Disillusioned by police corruption, he purchased a mechanical arm and an old Ganymede fishing vessel he named The Bebop to investigate crime as a bounty hunter. Along the way, he met Spike Spiegel, a young man running from his past. Despite his indifferent attitude, his Jeet Kune Do helped the duo become the most feared bounty hunters in the system. Follow Jet and Spike as they grudgingly put together an oddball crew of amnesiacs, intelligent dogs, and a girl named Ed in search of the next big score. So, see you space cowboy... and... Have fun!

29 décembre 2016

HOCgaming has some Cowboy Bebop facts that you can believe… #5 probably won’t shock you! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Cowboy Bebop LORE here: http://bit.ly/2irroW8 Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Animated by JulesGD3: https://www.youtube.com/user/sabertoontigers https://twitter.com/JulesGD3 Voiced by HOCgaming: https://www.youtube.com/HOCgaming Transcript: 1. After two Japanese teens claimed their violent crimes were due to the violence they'd seen on television, Japanese television fell under heavy censorship. For this reason, only 13 episodes of Cowboy Bebop were originally aired in Japan. Episodes of the show were also removed for American television due to 9/11. 2. Director of the series, Shinichiro Watanabe has admitted he enjoys the English dub of Cowboy Bebop better. Blasphemy! The series composer, Yoko Kanno, was even quoted in a DVD extra saying "Our Spike good, your Spike sexy." 3. In multiple sessions, characters are named by using the first, middle, and last name of famous figures. In "Asteroid Blues" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" the three old men playing chess are named Antonio, Carlos, and Jobim after bossanova composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. The three pirates in "Wild Horses" are named George, Herman and Ruth, the real name of baseball legend Babe Ruth. 4. Ein, the Corgi in Cowboy Bebop, may have fictionally heightened intelligence, but Pembroke Welsh Corgis were ranked 11th most intelligent breed in the book, "The Intelligence of Dogs", although this test measured intelligence based on the dog's ability to follow new directions, a task Ein would not have performed well either. 5. Though many claim the opening sequence for FX's animated comedy Archer was inspired by Cowboy Bebop, both sequences are actually homages to 60's graphic designer Saul Bass who famously designed stylized title sequences for The Man with the Golden Arm, North By Northwest, Vertigo, Anatomy of a Murder and many more classic films. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Men coveted the Kingdom Hearts' power and fashioned keyblades, but their Keyblade War cast the world in darkness. The X-Blade split into 7 pieces of light and 13 of darkness and the Kingdom Heart disappeared. Only the light of children's hearts restored the world, albeit separated into worlds populated by conflicting franchises. Keyblade Masters were trained to protect the light, but Master Xehanort sought the Kingdom Heart to create a darker, more balanced world. He split the heart of his apprentice Ventus and stole the body of Ventus' friend Terra, causing Aqua to sacrifice herself to the Realm of Darkness. Then, through the power of obnoxious decimal titles, Xehanort stole the identity of Ansem the Wise, and Xemnas, his nobody, or body without a heart, founded Organization XIII. Thankfully, young Keyblade wielders Sora and Mickey and friends showed him time-travel's a stupid plot device. Too bad killing his Heartless and his nobody means Xehanort would be... reborn? Whatever. So, forget Re:Coded, follow Aqua's journey through Darkness, question the mysterious Foretellers who watched the Keyblade War, and wish upon a star so they'll release a game with a nice round number.

Épisode 504 - RESIDENT EVIL FAST FACTS!

Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr tells you how Capcom came up with the name, “Resident Evil,” and why the game originally had ghosts instead of Zombies! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Resident Evil 7 LORE here: http://bit.ly/2k8ObJZ Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr: https://www.youtube.com/c/jakethevoice Animated by HagenToons: https://www.youtube.com/user/hagentoons Transcript: The original title for Resident Evil was Biohazard in Japan, but a different game and even a Heavy Metal band already had the name in the U.S. making it difficult to trademark. The name Resident Evil was then chosen in a company-wide contest because marketing thought it was a clever pun. Really. Resident Evil was originally intended to be a remake of a Famicom RPG called Sweet Home, based on a Japanese horror film of the same name. In fact, the game's zombies were originally written as ghosts, but creator Shinji Mikami looked to George Romero's films for more gritty, tangible antagonists. The orchestral soundtrack for Resident Evil: Director's Cut Dual Shock Version was credited to deaf Japanese composer Mamoru Samuragochi, but a journalist from Aera magazine noticed his reaction to a doorbell during an interview. It has since come to light that the composer is not only fully capable of hearing, but also had his work ghostwritten by Takashi Niigaki. You don't have to be the master of unlocking to know that the first Resident Evil game had terrible dialog. Guinness World Records even recognized it in 2008 as the Worst Game Dialogue Ever. Despite all the great things Resident Evil has done over the years, it will never recover from the Jill Sandwich. Resident Evil 4 was originally intended by writer Noboru Sugimura to take place in a gothic setting featuring cool and stylish action but Mikami thought the concepts strayed too far from the Resident Evil series. Instead, the story and visuals were reworked into a world of demons for a new franchise, Devil May Cry. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

The Dojima family of Tojo Clan, headed by Sohei Dojima, grew strong thanks to its captain, Kazama Shintaro. Splitting time between organized crime and Sunflower Orphanage, Shintaro became a father figure to future Dojima debt collector, Kazuma Kiryu. Kiryu was fiercely loyal but Shintaro was sent to prison for a busted gambling ring and Sohei Dojima offered Shintaro's position to three other lieutenants. Meanwhile, Goro Majima, a former member of Tojo Clan was tortured for disobeying a direct order to protect a friend. Losing an eye and membership, Majima was forced to run The Grand, a Sotenbori nightclub, until he earned 100 million yen. Surprisingly, he succeeded in just one year but was given one final task before being accepted back. But after a routine debt collection, Kiryu has been framed for murder and is now being hunted by Dojima's three lieutenants. Not only that, Majima just discovered the target he needs to kill is a blind masseuse. To protect yourself, you must take on side businesses, punch people to earn money and navigate the 80s Japanese nightlife to learn how a tiny vacant lot could be causing so much bloodshed.

As a side-effect of the greed and bloodshed, three warlords united the land. The first, Oda Nobunaga was betrayed by his own general, and his successor Toyotomi Hideyoshi died with only a child heir, Hideyori. A council of Five Elders was left to rule, but Tokugawa Ieyasu moved to unite all Japan under his rule instead. The remaining Toyotomi loyalists, led by Ishida Mitsunari took up arms to stop their one time ally. But the bloodshed invited a new problem. Shapeshifting animal spirits and the vengeful spirits of the dead called Yokai have begun wreaking havoc. To make matters worse, a European alchemist, Edward Kelley, fled to Japan and used his dark powers to spur the Japanese clans to continue their bloody conflict. You are William Adams, the first Western samurai. You've pursued Kelley halfway across the globe and find yourself allied with Tokugawa and his loyal ninja Hattori Hanzo. Together, you’ll rid Japan of the Yokai menace, settle an old score with Kelley, and maybe even unite Japan to usher in a period of lasting peace -- who knows?

Though he didn't fight mythical monsters, he was one of only a handful of survivors from a five ship expedition for the Dutch East India Company and became the first Western Samurai and an advisor to the Shogun. Nioh began as a pet project when Koei founder Kou Shibusawa wanted to make an RPG adaptation of "Oni", the unfinished screenplay by legendary Japanese filmmaker, Akira Kurosawa. The game to be preceded by a feature film directed by Akira Kurosawa's son, Hisao Kurosawa, though the film was cancelled a year later and the game bounced around before Team Ninja was brought on board. Noted to be notoriously difficult even before its release, Nioh director Fumihiko Yasuda explained they balanced the game at the testing phase. If the game tester could beat a boss without any armor, the boss fight was considered fair. Believing that difficulty levels leave gamers with different feelings about a game, Team Ninja decided to develop Nioh with only one difficulty setting. If players want the most challenging gaming experience available, Nioh includes punishing side missions and quests designed with gaming masochists in mind. In Buddhism, Nioh are the two wrathful guardians that watch over Buddhist temples. The two represent birth and death, and according Japanese tradition, they protected Buddha during his travels throughout India. Our video game hero William, on the other hand, is regarded as Nioh solely for his reputation as a demon-slayer. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

From the ashes, warriors rose to claim what was left, but three factions were forced to battle for limited resources: The Chosen samurai warriors of the Dawn Empire, the stoic knights of the Iron Legion, and the rage-filled vikings of the Warborn Clans. They battled for a thousand years and ultimately the reasons for conflict were buried under a millennium of casualties. Soon The Emperor, the lords and ladies, even the Warborn families longed for an end to the conflict, but one figure, the Warlord known as Apollyon believed talk of peace betrayed the factions' growing weakness. Employing deception and her own Blackstone Legion, she would bring an Age of Wolves by pitting her enemies against each other. To stop Apollyon's war mongering, you must take control of legendary heroes: The Kensei, recently exiled for questioning the Emperor. The Raider, a viking who hopes to unite all the Warborn Clans. And the Warden, a young knight searching for a worthy cause equal to his skill with a sword. Can these warriors put aside their differences and and ignore the fact that Ubisoft just needed a premise to put samurai, knights, and vikings in the same game, or are they doomed to another thousand years of conflict?

Practicing new stances he'd learned while walking home, he pictured the right thumbstick of a game controller. He enthusiastically pitched the new mechanic to everyone who'd listen. Everyone said "No." Vandenberghe was sunk, but remembered an old Mark LeBlanc game design workshop, preaching The Four F's: Fail Faster, Follow the Fun. As Creative Director for Red Steel 2, Jason hung a "Fail Faster" banner over his desk. Despite odd looks, he tasked designers with 24 hour level prototyping. The quick turnaround and permission to fail bred outrageous ideas, some great, some... not. But new ideas made the hybrid shooter fun. Despite low sales, Red Steel 2 showcased fresh mechanics as an early adopter of the Wii Motion Plus. Meanwhile, in gaming history, a little series called Dark Souls legitimized swordplay in popular gaming, but Vandenberghe was still unsatisfied. Approaching Ubisoft Montreal, he wanted a realistic, more intimate game that avoided the "rolling away from your enemy" tactic.

Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch For Honor Dev LORE here: http://bit.ly/2mDL8ak Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Animated by Hagen Toons: http://www.youtube.com/user/hagentoons Voiced by Greenskull from Ready Up Live: https://www.youtube.com/user/ReadyUpLive Transcript: Long ago, the Forerunners believed in the Mantle of Responsibility to protect all life in the galaxy. Except the Flood. Gross. To starve the Flood, the Forerunners created the Halo Array, a series of rings that killed all organic life. To repopulate the galaxy, they kept species on shield worlds or on the Ark, the installation which created and controlled the other rings. Though the Forerunners disappeared, many species banded together as The Covenant Empire to worship them as gods.. But Forerunner relics referred to humanity as The Reclaimer for the Mantle of Responsibility. To hide this, Covenant leaders declared war on humanity. In battle, the UNSC ship Spirit of Fire discovered a fleet of Covenant controlled Forerunner Warships (and a nasty Flood outbreak), and sacrificed its slipspace drive to destroy it. Hopelessly adrift, the crew went into cryosleep. Over time, the Covenant lie was exposed, they fell into Civil War, Master Chief was duped by his AI lady friend, and she seized control of the galaxy. But while everyone else was fighting, the Banished, vicious Covenant mercenaries, seized the Ark. Join the Spirit of Fire's crew, confused after a long frozen nap as they land on the Ark, but be careful because the Banished leader, Atriox loves two things: smashing human faces and selling used cars.

Épisode 512 - HORIZON ZERO DAWN | LORE in a Minute! | Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr | LORE

Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr has the post-apocalyptic backstory of the Metal World and the human tribes that now inhibit it! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Halo Wars 2 LORE here: http://bit.ly/2m3O5UB Written by Clara: https://twitter.com/yay_im_clara Animated by Zeurel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Zeurel Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw5XZXzgUpOGOftRZSJ1TgQ Transcript: In the future, a technologically advanced society with immense, towering cities dominated the Earth, but this Metal World inexplicably collapsed. As ages passed without humanity, known as “the Old Ones,” the land became rich with vegetation, wildlife, and a new dominant species--the machines. Then, one tribe at a time, humankind returned. Machine parts became the base of the economy and local terrain and natural resources shaped the beliefs and culture of each primitive hunter-gatherer tribe-- so they don’t always see eye to eye. The first machine hunters, the matriarchal Nora tribe, considers motherhood sacred. With no parents, Aloy is shunned by her own society at birth. Upholding Nora values, her fellow outcast guardian, Rost, discourages Aloy’s fascination with taboo Metal World technology in favor of survival and hunting skills. If Aloy wins The Proving, a ritual test of these skills, she’ll be granted the chance to ask the matriarchs about her mother… except somebody just went on a murder rampage in her village. Now with the aid of The Focus, an earpiece that allows her glimpses into the secrets of her world, Aloy will venture beyond the protection of the Sacred Lands to uncover the mysteries behind her birth, the corruption of the machines, and the demise of the Old Ones.

Épisode 513 - HORIZON ZERO DAWN: Powered by Killzone! | Development LORE in a Minute! | Octopimp | LORE

1 mars 2017

How did Guerilla Games turn concept art into a brand new IP? Killzone and a love for robot dinosaurs, apparently. Octopimp has the scoop! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Horizon Zero Dawn LORE here: http://bit.ly/2lTxsso Written by Clara: https://twitter.com/yay_im_clara Animated by Nerogeist: http://www.youtube.com/user/Nerogeist Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Transcript: With multiple Killzone games under their belt, Guerrilla Games began brainstorming a brand new IP in 2010. Among the pitches for zombies and puzzle games, came an idea from Guerilla’s art director combining tribes, machines, and nature -- hardly a complete concept. After six months of developing two IPs, Guerrilla was torn over which to continue. Horizon was most risky, but the team was so passionate about robot dinosaurs, they chose to forge ahead. But the problem was that their expertise was in first person shooters and had no game engine that could power their idea -- they barely even had a story. So they started with what they knew: Killzone. Guerrilla modified a Killzone gun and put Killzone 3's Jammer as a stand-in protagonist for early prototypes. They used their FPS expertise to create intense robotic beast combat on the Shadow Fall’s Decima engine. Personnel from Bethesda, and CD Projekt were brought in for their RPG and open world backgrounds while new quest designers and writers lead by John Gonzalez finally made sense of the lush post-apocalyptic world through Aloy. But in 2014, the team was mortified when concept art found its way onto a Chinese forum… only to find out that everybody loves robot dinosaurs! So, after nearly 7 years, dozens of concepts, and some really stellar art, we’ll finally be shooting dino-mechs in 4K. That is, if you have a PS4 Pro, of course.

The human Caim and the dragon Angelus fought the Watcher Queen through a portal, falling into... 2003 Shinjuku? Caim and Angelus defeated the Watcher but were then shot down by Japanese planes. Unfortunately, that rotting Watcher corpse caused a plague called White Chlorination Syndrome. Humans either turned to salt or became The Legion, vicious white beasts. Eventually, Shinjuku was nuked to stop the outbreak, but this launched the disease across the globe. So scientists created Project Gestalt, a process of separating a person's body and their soul or gestalt to wait out the pandemic. Androids were created to watch over them and replicant bodies were created to eventually re-merge with the gestalts. But over time replicants developed independent personalities and the waiting gestalts went mad, becoming Shades. The Replicant of Nier then defeated his own gestalt, the Shadowlord, dooming gestalts and replicants to extinction. Anyway, thousands of years later, aliens attacked Earth with living machines. The remaining humans fled to the Moon, developing androids called YoRHa to battle on Earth. Now in the 14th Machine Armament War, YoRHa units 2B, 9S, and A2 are charged with jumpstarting the resistance on Earth… but boy those are some big and deadly robots.

One piece, however, drifted away unnoticed. This piece fell to Earth during the Cretaceous period in Japan, becoming a forest of black spikes, killing any that entered. Eventually, armed with magic oil created by Buddhist monks, the Japanese Emperor led his men into the Black Forest but the forest killed them all. The lone survivor, the Emperor dipped his arrow into the oil, firing it into the black lake at the forest's center. But rather than killing the forest, the shapeshifting demon, Aku, was formed. Odin, Ra and Vishnu sensed Aku's evil and granted the Emperor a magical sword. Still unable to kill Aku, the Emperor sealed him within a jagged tree. For ten years, the Emperor planned for his return. When Aku attacked, the Emperor's wife took their son and the magical sword to train across the globe. Years later, the young samurai returned to save his enslaved people from Aku, but just before dealing the killing blow, Aku opened a portal, sending the samurai to a future so that he could become powerful enough to defeat him. Now, fifty years and one final season later, all the time portals have have been closed and the ageless Jack is back… and he’s got guns.

Coupled with the advent of mobile gaming, the company recorded its largest loss in its 100 year-plus history, stunning Nintendo... though only momentarily. A plan for Nintendo’s future utilizing mobile technology, new hardware, and our favorite Nintendo heroes was already in full swing. While Shigeru Miyamoto focused on Super Mario Run and a Universal theme park, younger Nintendo staff were spearheading not only a new system, codenamed NX, but also an entirely new gaming experience. Nintendo’s resume included gaming innovations like the touch screen with the DS, gaming outside your home with Game Boy, and motion control with the Wiimotes, but scheduling time for gaming was different than the era of the NES. To accommodate lifestyles of Japanese students playing together after school and those in the west with schedules that varied day to day, the head of development, Satoru Iwata emphasized the importance of pulling the NX out anywhere-- not just for convenience, but for connecting with others. Sadly, Iwata passed away in 2015, but the team forged ahead, officially announced the NX as the Nintendo Switch in October 2016 and soon thereafter shocked the industry with a March 2017 launch date. But will shipping the Switch so soon skyrocket it to Wii-levels of popularity or doom it to Wii U-depths of mediocrity? Let’s just say Breath of the Wild better be fucking* good.

The Turians in the First Contact War, the Geth, the Collectors. Not to mention Commander Shepard yelling, "The Reapers are coming!" for three games straight. So Jien Garson created the Andromeda Initiative to settle the resource-rich Heleus Cluster in the Andromeda Galaxy. The Initiative sent recruits in cryostasis on a 600 year journey aboard ships called Arks. Garson commanded the Nexus space station while each Citadel species occupied Arks led by Pathfinders, soldier/scientists with a knack for survival. The human pathfinder was Alec Ryder an N7 marine whose resume included traveling through the Charon Mass Relay, creating the A.I. SAM, and fathering twin soldiers. Using long range scanners, the Initiative pinpointed so-called golden worlds for each species, and Alec would lead humanity's Ark, Hyperion, to Habitat 7 with his second-in-command, Cora Harper. Unfortunately, the crew just woke up from stasis 634 years later, off-course and late to the party. They've lost contact with the Initiative and the native Kett and Angara aren't thrilled about the "invading" humans. Now it's up to Alec Ryder's twins, Scott and Sara, to fight and flirt their way to a suitable new world for humanity, all before power runs out on Hyperion and 20,000 people lose wifi and life support.

Even Tokyo fell into the ocean after a strike, but Japan had developed microscopic machines, called the Japanese Miracle, which removed radiation from the environment. After a fourth World War that destabilized the geopolitical landscape, Japan emerged as a major world power as it developed a global information network, cyberbrains and cybernetic bodies. Citizens could choose their cyberization: Minimal cyberization plugs them into the network without altering the physical brain, partial cyberization replaces the cerebellar portion with nanotech, and full cyberization replaces up to 97.5 percent of the brain. Fully cyberized citizens could also be transferred between cyber bodies. Cool! But wait! Cyborgs only get to eat protein bars. Oh, and Cyberbrains also open you up to ghost-hacking. Advanced hackers can alter your memories, affect visual input, or even replace your cyberbrain with their own. That's where Section 9 comes in. Using cyberized agents and A.I. piloted Think Tanks, Section 9 fights cyberterrorism. But their greatest asset is Major Motoko Kusanagi. Fully cyberized since a childhood accident, Kusanagi uses thermo-optic camouflage and one of the most advanced prosthetic bodies around to fight cyberterrorism, but does a fist-sized lump of brain cells make her human or is she just another kick-ass, naked robot?

What does The Matrix have to do with Ghost in the Shell? Everything, apparently! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Ghost in the Shell LORE here: http://bit.ly/2nPMfYn Written by Gainesaurus: https://twitter.com/Gainesaurus Animated by Hagentoons https://www.youtube.com/user/Hagentoons Voiced by Jace Willcutt: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3LxkCQEV8wiCGJYzg2ZDFw Transcript: According to producer Joel Silver, the Wachowskis pitched The Matrix by showing Ghost in the Shell and simply stating “we wanna do that for real.” They were so inspired by the anime that you might discover that some scenes in the Matrix track shot-for-shot with Ghost in the Shell. Because creator Masamune Shirow drew inspiration from Arthur Koestler's Ghost in the Machine, Shirow always wanted the title to be Ghost in the Shell, but Young Magazine, his publisher, wanted the flashier title of Kokaku Kidotai, which translates to Mobile Armored Riot Police. Ghost in the Shell was the secondary title, but not for long. Since the 1995 Ghost in the Shell film was targeted at foreign audiences, director Mamoru Oshii replaced the playfulness and humor in the original manga with computer graphics and a gritty moodiness. The serious, philosophical tone of the films is now the benchmark of the franchise. Director Rupert Sanders wanted create a film that was visually timeless, so costume designers Kurt and Bart used an unconventional source to help them inform the look of the live-action film: Tumblr. They found that Ghost in the Shell Tumblr pages did an excellent job of curating styles from the different eras of Ghost in the Shell media.

Initially, The Palace encompassed humanity's hopes and dreams, but soon the ambitions of adult authority figures corrupted both the Palace and the real world. Thankfully, people with high spiritual sensitivity can discover the Velvet Room, an otherworldly prison where the warden, Igor, and his assistants, Caroline and Justine, can teach you to use Personas to fight for your freedom. Personas represent a person's inner self strengthened by their resolve, but to reveal their powerful Personas, a person must painfully rip off the mask that society has forced them to wear. Armed with a Metaverse Navigator App on their P.A.D.S., Persona users can then track down Palaces to steal the hearts of corrupt adults and stem their influence in the real world. Unfortunately, Shadows, or corrupted Personas protect these treasures from do-gooding Persona users like you. You are a new student at Tokyo's Shujin Academy. When a classmate is abused by the school gym teacher, you'll gather your own group of Persona users,The Phantom Thieves of Hearts. Together you'll visit the Velvet Room, fight through shadow-infested Palaces, and get a part-time job, all to save the world from evil adults.

Over time, many enjoyed the simple pleasure of reading books and the greedy Capital B saw dollar signs. Paying the maniacal Dr. Quack to steal Dr. Puzz's research, they developed the Novelizer 64, an invention totally-not-a-metaphor-for-anything-in-the-real-world that absorbs all books and monopolizes the reading market. Capital B then locked the Grand Tomes in his Hivory Tower, but still one book remained. This one book had the power to rewrite the universe, but one hundred of its pages, called Pagies, escaped the brutish booknapping. That brings us to Yooka and Laylee, a calm chameleon and a crazy bat. At Bat Ship Crazy, their home in Shipwreck Creek, they just discovered... you guessed it... an old, shredded book. Together, Yooka and Laylee will travel to Tribalstack Tropics and Glitterglaze Glacier with friends like Rextro Sixtyfourus and (not safe for work) Trowser the Snake. Collect Pagies and Ghost Writers and who cares!

Reviving the Donkey Kong family, creating Banjo-Kazooie, burying us in cutesy puns, but their greatest success, Golden Eye 007, would change the gaming landscape. As shooters and MOBAs took over, Rare's blank checks from Nintendo dried up until Microsoft bought Rare in 2002. Rare released several sequels and spinoffs, but marketing for their new IP, Viva Piñata, was neglected in favor of Xbox shooters like Gears of War. As Microsoft corporate restricted workday music playing and scheduled more performance reviews, office culture soured. Former gaming titans now felt marginalized and the baddies at Microsoft just claimed Rare's appeal had become outdated. So in 2012, former Rare developers took to Twitter as Mingy Jongo, announcing an independent Banjo Kazooie successor! They disappeared until 2015, but regrouped when Banjo himself, Chris Sutherland and Gavin Price, announced Playtonic Games but for all their combined experience, they needed help. While N64 had only 1 processor, new consoles required these old dogs to learn new tricks. Luckily, young programmers lined up for the chance at platforming nostalgia. Armed with decades of experience, puns for days and some eager new blood, Playtonic is back with Yooka, Laylee, and their friend Trowzer the Snake. Yikes.

He tasked his brother Aknadin to create seven Millennium Items, giving his high priests, the Sacred Guardians, the power to summon Duel Monsters. But Aknadin hadn't told the Pharaoh creating the Millennium Items required sacrificing the people of Kul Elna. To atone for his ignorant sin, the Pharaoh offered himself to the Gods, asking for the safety of his son, Atem. But unknown to the Pharaoh, a boy survived the Kul Elna sacrifice. As the vengeful Bandit King Bakura, the boy used the Ba, or spirit energy of Kul Elna's victims, to create the Demon Ka, Diabound, and robbed Aknamkanon's tomb. He then fought the Sacred Guardians, claiming their Millennium Items, and opposed Atem. Using the items, Bakura offered his body to resurrect the Dark God Zorc Necrophades, but using a powerful spell, Atem sealed himself and Zorc in the Millennium Puzzle. Fast forward to the 20th century. Archaeologist Solomon Muto survived the traps in Atem's tomb and discovered the Millennium Puzzle. Unable to solve it, he opened the Kame Game shop and his game-addict grandson Yugi found the Millennium Puzzle. After eight years of attempts, Yugi finally solved it only to become possessed by a serious, sadistic gaming spirit named Yami Yugi.

Displeased with churches, Knoth would be God's new prophet. Communing on a mountaintop, Knoth cut out his left eye, then led his people, the Testament of the New Ezekiel, to their own town, Temple Gate. Elsewhere, scientist Rudolf Wernicke invented a nanite swarm, the Walrider believing a person exposed to enough horror could become host to his perfect new being. Eventually, young patient Billy Hope controlled the Swarm while lucid dreaming but the Walrider slaughtered everyone at Mount Massive Asylum until journalist Miles Upshur pulled the plug on Billy, inadvertently becoming its new host. To cover up, the Murkoff Corporation sent insurance mitigators, Paul Marion and Pauline Glick to hunt down loose ends. Paul gladly did so as Murkoff paid for definitely-not-shady treatments for his daughter's genetic disorder. But soon, informant Simon Peacock gave Paul coordinates in Arizona, claiming experiments at Mount Massive were pebbles in the pond compared to -- you guessed it -- Temple Gate! You are journalist Blake Langermann. You and your wife, Lynn, were investigating the death of pregnant Jane Doe when, naturally, your helicopter crashes.

Here emotions and urges from the mortal races in realspace become sentient beings, like daemons or the Chaos Gods Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle. But in realspace, the Eldar ruled for Millennia. Their unchallenged rule led to extravagance and a new Chaos God, Slaanesh Prince of Pleasure, was born. The psychic backlash wiped out most of the Eldar. So, the Emperor of Mankind launched his Great Crusade to reclaim the galaxy. Using vast psychic ability, he enabled his Space Marines to navigate the Warp, sidestepping faster-than-light travel, to distant planets. But the Chaos Gods orchestrated a deadly betrayal. His body decaying, the Emperor now sits on the Golden Throne neither dead nor alive, using the last of his psychic power so his Space Marines can continue their quest. Both Mankind and the Eldar weakened, the war-mongering Orks grew to outnumber all other races. Engineered millennia ago only to battle, they swept across the galaxy fighting even themselves. Pledge your allegiance. Follow Farseer Macha to fight Eldar extinction. Join Gabriel Angelos to bring order as the Imperium.

Powered by an individual's will, their spiral power gives them near limitless potential, defying physics and the conservation of energy. Soon, some races feared unlimited use of spiral power would cause spiral beings to evolve into enormous galaxies, a cosmic imbalance that would lead to a universe-ending event called the Spiral Nemesis Fearing the end, these races halted their own evolutions, surrendered their spiral power and became the Anti-Spirals, white humanoids in suspended animation, their collective consciousness becoming the near-omnipotent Anti-Spiral King. In response, the Spirals developed Gunmen and other mecha to fight through space in search of the Anti-Spiral homeworld, but the betrayal of one of the Spiral soldiers forced them back to Earth in defeat. But time goes on and people forget. Humanity now lives underground. Their spiral nature keeps young diggers like Kamina and Simon looking to the surface and their journey to freedom just kicked into a high gear because Simon just found the head of a buried Gunmen and the Core Drill to start 'er up. Too bad Lordgenome and his beastmen are lying in wait to kill any human who reaches the surface. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

They sent cosmonauts to investigate and were promptly killed by by shadowy alien creatures -- the Typhon! Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev asked JFK for help and the Kletka Program was launched. The joint Soviet-American effort enveloped the hostile alien in a state-of-the-art space station. But after JFK survived an assassination attempt in Dallas, he took over the Kletka Program and poured more funding and resources into research, though the project was unable to produce any results. Ultimately, the station shut down in 1998 after a Typhon breach left the research team dead. In 2030, the TranStar Corporation claimed the station, renaming it Talos-1 to study the Typhon, and in just a few short years they created Neuromods, genetic modifications giving humans Typhon powers. Totally a good idea. You are Morgan Yu. You awaken in your apartment on Earth, but psych! You’re actually aboard Talos-1, duped via hologram. The Typhon have gone berserk and everyone is dead. Probably. Luckily, your clever, past-version of yourself left neuromods around for your groggy, amnesiac-self to find.

Apparently, Kanami has just dropped a new single, and if you go on a date in Harajuku, the protagonist can get Rise’s Sapphire poster for his room. Persona high school emblems have been said to resemble car company logos. Art Director Shigenori Soejima claimed it was merely a recurring coincidence after Gekkoukan High School looked like the BMW emblem. French manufacturer Citroën’s logo seems to be the new coincidental resemblance for Persona 5, though Morgana’s catbus form also echos the Citroën H Van from the same company. The protagonist’s Persona, Arsene, is inspired by French author Maurice Leblanc’s fictional gentleman thief, Arsene Lupin. Though he lives in a coffee shop called Cafe Leblanc and there are many French influences, like a French Tarot card deck, his persona was originally set to be Mephistopheles, a demon from German folklore, before they decided Arsene was a better fit. Morgana’s code name is Mona. Though Morgana becomes irritated when called a cat, Mona is also the name of a cat-like creature created with Shift_JIS art. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Over several years, multiple O'Neil cylinders were placed at Lagrangian points in steady orbit. By UC50, over half Earth's population emigrated to the new colonies, known as Sides. A nearby asteroid's orbit was even altered to become a second Moon, Luna II. But soon, on Side 3, the philosopher Zeon Zum Deikun noticed some settlers, now called Spacenoids, had evolved. These Newtypes gained heightened spatial awareness and mental abilities and Deikun believed Newtypes were proof humanity was destined for space. He taught that Earth was sacred and that Sides should be sovereign nations in a new movement known as Contolism. The Spacenoids, who were treated as second class citizens on Earth, quickly adopted his beliefs, declared Side 3 independent and appointed Deikun their leader. Unfortunately Deikun was killed in mysterious circumstances and his former advisor, Degwin Zabi, conveniently declared himself sovereign of the new Principality of Zeon, secretly killed Deikun's most loyal followers, and appointed his family members to high ranking positions. The Zeon military mobilized quickly, developing a new weapon, the Mobile Suit, and in UC79 began the One Year War. Both sides lost billions to nuclear and chemical strikes before the Antarctica Treaty banned their use. With their Mobile Suits, the Principality gradually invaded most of Earth, but the Earth Federation had one last hope: The V Project, developing weapon prototypes under engineer Tem Ray on Side 7. But the Federation carrier White Base, on its way to pick up these prototypes was followed by Zeon forces led by Char Aznable, the Red Comet. When one of his men opens fire on the colony, Char will learn just how powerful the Federation's new RX-78 Gundam is and meet his greatest opponent, Amuro Ray, the teenage Newtype that just jumped in the cockpit.

When Tomino's Gundam novels were translated into English, Char was spelled Sha because the translator thought the name looked too similar to the singer's, unaware of the intended homage. In 2015, China's state-owned broadcasting network ran a report on Japan's security measures. Viewers were surprised to see a Gundam appear in one of the shots. After further investigation, the reported Gundam was from a Nissin Cup Noodles commercial, though no one knows why this ended up in a Chinese news report. Mobile Suit Gundam was originally titled Freedom Fighter Gunboy. The titular mobile suit, a Gundam, was a mash up of the english word "gun" and the last syllable of the word "freedom" and soon became the iconic franchise title. Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino was against the construction of the RX-78-2 statue in Odaiba until he saw it in person. He now compares its inspiring presence to the Statue of Liberty. But if you’re watching this, it’s too late. The statue was taken down in March 2017, but fret not -- it’s being replaced with the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam! Not only that, there are plans to construct a “moving” Gundam by 2019. The sponsors for Mobile Suit Gundam, motivated by projected toy sales, demanded changes to the simple white Gundam designs, mainly the addition of samurai elements and brighter colors. This is the reason some in-show Zeon characters still refer to it as "The White Mobile Suit". --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Épisode 533 - GUNDAM: Franchise Origins! | Development LORE XL! | Ricepirate | History of Gundam | LORE

Ricepirate has the history of the Gundam Franchise, from being rescued by Bandai to the cultural juggernaut that it is today!

Inspired by the exosuits in Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers, he recast goofy robots as weapons of war, created relatable human antagonists and researched realistic technology like O'Neill Cylinders to legitimize the epic space setting. The REAL robot genre was born when Mobile Suit Gundam debuted in 1979. Unfortunately, the audience, expecting lame robots, forgot to tune in so Gundam's sponsors cut the episodes to 39. Tomino's team pleaded for 43 to finish the story, but it was still cancelled. Not only that, Clover’s metal Gundam Toy line was… not great. Gundam was dead… until a little toy company called Bandai created Gunpla. As named by fans, Gunpla were cheap plastic models of the show's mobile suits which fans could build and paint themselves, and they were hooked. With renewed interest, Tomino recut the series into theatrical films and fans swarmed the Japanese box office. Gundam has since become synonymous with Japanese culture from dozens of series and video games to commemorative stamps and giant statues. Unlike Macross and Beast King GoLion, Gundam even reached American audiences without being rebranded! As robotics pushes forward, engineers, researchers and heads of NASA cite Gundam as inspiration because who wouldn't want a kick-ass war machine with a face.

Duma's loving sister, Mila, followed him to Valentia, but disagreed over the fate of humans there. Duma believed they should strive for power while Mila hoped to give them a life of peace. So, like all siblings, they drew a line across their domain. Rigel in the north worshipped Duma. Its people grew strong, but forgot compassion. Conversely, Zofia in the south worshipped Mila, becoming decadent and lazy. Ages passed. Eventually Rigel suffered a great drought and asked Zofia for help. Unfortunately, young king, Lima IV, was terribly uninterested in politics. His treacherous knight Desaix declared himself chancellor and secretly killed all Lima's heirs to secure power. Meanwhile, Rigel, still starving, declared war and repeatedly outmatched Zofia, so Desaix gave Rigel a bunch of gold to go away while he planned a bloody coup. Sixteen years later, King Rudolf of Rigel leads his army into Zofia once more. Unfortunately, Mila, Zofia's Goddess, is missing. Even worse, Desaix has taken Zofia Castle and slain its king. So follow adopted siblings Alm and Celica as you fight Desaix's rebellion, repel the invading army from Rigel and learn what happened to Mila. Who knows, you might unite a divided kingdom.

Driven to madness, Superman became a ruthless tyrant hellbent on eliminating all criminals through his authoritarian Regime. He led this new world as its High Councilor, but Batman established an Insurgency set on dismantling the Regime and a war ensued between the two factions. After suffering many losses, Batman created a device that opened a portal to the main universe, which enabled him to bring the original heroes to his alternate universe to fight alongside the Insurgency. The High Councilor’s Regime was dismantled, and Superman was placed in a prison bathed in red sun radiation. Now, with the heroes of the original universe gone, Batman and his team are tasked with piecing society back together while battling against the remaining members of The High Councilor’s Regime, who still seek to restore his power.

Population, 51,201. On the surface, it’s a charming logging town, with decent, hardworking people, but beneath that fine exterior brews a darkness as black as midnight on a moonless night. Documentation of the town's mysteries began with the Lewis and Clark expedition. In addition to their efforts to find a northwest passage and map the newly acquired western territories, Lewis was also tasked in secret by Thomas Jefferson to investigate "the spiritual and shamanistic" traditions of the tribes in the northwest. Meriwether Lewis met Twisted Hair Chief of the Nez Perce and was given a mysterious ring with instructions that it should never be left alone nor worn. The ring would eventually find its way to Laura Palmer shortly before her death. Since its founding, Twin Peaks has found itself closely tied to the paranormal with documented sightings of giants, "Strange walking owls", and UFOs. Government agencies, the boy scouts, and The Bookhouse Boys -- a local secret society sworn to defend the town from the supernatural evil -- are all eager to understand the darkness that inhabits the surrounding woods and seems to emanate from the black lodge. The owls may indeed not be what they seem, and there may be fish in the percolator, and the prom queen may be wrapped in plastic, but if it’s too worrisome, you can always visit the Double R for a cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie that'll kill you!

It’s goal is simple—to restore the ozone layer with compounds released from strategic satellite launches across the globe which in turn will create thousands of jobs for the unemployed. To sweeten the deal, Creo offers its employees the chance to better themselves.

The first Gear, an artificial magical creature, was created by converting a project member named Frederick, But he escaped and the members of the project disappeared. Nearly sixty years later, the mysterious gearmaker known only as That Man created Justice, the perfect complete Gear with free will. This, of course, backfires when Justice realizes Gears are merely weapons for mankind and becomes a genocidal killbot whose only mission is to wipe out the human race. To even the odds, humans created another weapon that could amplify magic; the Outrage. Based on the research of the Saint Oratorio, an all-powerful and destructive spell, this Anti-Gear Weapon was so strong that it had to be separated into eight pieces, known as the Sacred Treasures. The Holy War, as it was known, lasted more than 100 years. Finally, under the leadership of Ky Kiske, the humans sealed Justice in an alternate dimension and ended the war. Unfortunately, the peace was short-lived. Now, in 2180, there are rumors that the gear Testament is reviving Justice. The Union of Nations has announced the Second Sacred Order Tournament, a fighting tournament to find combatants who can defeat Testament. Ten fighters, including the mysterious and aptly-named Sol Badguy, will enter, but only one can leave victorious and claim a prize to acquire whatever they desire. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

In time, man’s ego and insecurities would stand in their way. Hercules, the world’s strongest man, was goaded into waging war with Amazonia to prove that he was deserving of that title. Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, challenged Hercules to one-on-one combat. She knew she could never lose so long as she had her magical golden girdle, gifted to her by Aphrodite. Hercules was defeated, but he seduced her and stole her girdle, and the Amazons were taken into slavery. Angered by Hippolyta’s weak will, Aphrodite turned her back on the Amazons. Hippolyta appealed to Aphrodite for help, but to no avail. Then finally, Aphrodite relented and returned Hippolyta’s girdle to her. Hippolyta set the Amazons free and was told by Aphrodite to leave the world of man behind. They landed on the shores of Themyscira, a paradise island. So long as they never leave and involve themselves with the tribulations of man, they would retain their eternal life. On Themyscira, Hippolyta gave birth to a daughter, Diana—Princess of the Amazons. She would become the strongest and fiercest of the Amazons, but longed to know what lied beyond Themyscira.

Together, General Indoril Nerevar and Dumac Dwarfking led their combined armies to beat back the human invasion. This alliance lasted for 300 years until Nerevar discovered that in secret, the Dwemer people were building a new god using the remains of the dead god beneath Red Mountain. With this knowledge, Nerevar marched on Red Mountain and routed the Dwemer… but Nerevar did not return from the battlefield. Centuries later, Vivec, Sotha Sil, and Almalexia of the Tribunal are now the rulers and living gods of Morrowind. Together, the Tribunal erected the Ghostgate, a magical barrier that surrounds the Red Mountain and imprisons the evils that still remain. But whispers of a prisoner born on a certain day to uncertain parents would cast down the Tribunal as false gods. Foretold by an ancient prophecy, this unknown prisoner, under guard, would be sent to Morrowind to overcome the Seven Trials of the Incarnate… and such a prisoner has arrived.

Most of his dialogue refers to anticipated and expected features that didn’t make it into the game. You can also find him in Oblivion, Skyrim, and The Elder Scrolls Online! Fast Fact: While, both Arena and Daggerfall had been created using algorithms that randomly built the world's areas, Morrowind was created by hand. It was an enormous task that took close to 100 man-years, in total, to create. Fast Fact: Fans of both the Elder Scrolls series and tabletop RPGs may note a similarity in gameplay mechanics as well as lore and setting, between Morrowind and RuneQuest. The link between them is Ken Rolston, who worked on Avalon Hill’s edition of Rune Quest before becoming a lead designer at Bethesda for Morrowind. Fast Fact: It is likely players will come across mysterious characters written in Dwemeris script, all over the pipes, throughout the game. The characters actually spell the word “Wormgod,” which was the nickname of Bethesda developer Gary Noonan. Fast Fact: The very first character you meet, Jiub, devoted the rest of his life to killing cliff racers. It’s said that he killed 76 cliff racers over two days and eventually hunted them to extinction in Vvardenfell… because he’s a maniac. You later find out that he achieved Sainthood through this act in Skyrim Dawnguard. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

For years, there has been speculation and mystery surrounding their ascension. Scientists and historians alike have attempted to study them and determine where they came from and why people have them. It could be hereditary, or a mutation, or even alien experimentation. Every time someone gets close to a discovery, a brick wall is hit… as if some unknown force is protecting the true origins of the ARMS. The superstar fighters of ARMS have no recollection of when they received their ARMS. One night they went to bed with normal human arms, and the next morning they didn’t!

Épisode 544 - DEAD BY DAYLIGHT: But What’s the Hook? | LORE in a Minute! | Octopimp | LORE

You and your friends are being hunted for an eternity to please the almighty meathook god… or you can just keep jumping through windows because that’s a psychopathic killer’s greatest weakness.

Curiosity abound, Benedict dug into the history of the town in a neighboring library. It seemed as though a once thriving and industrious region was upturned overnight, into the ghost town it is today. At the center of it all was the Macmillan Estate, a large industrial park with a mine and foundry… and Benedict just couldn’t resist a little adventure. Instead, Benedict wakes up beside a campfire unsure of how or when he got there. He soon discovers he is in the realm of The Entity, a supernatural being from something spooky called ancient blood web. It has pulled seven of the most evil killers on Earth out of reality and the 1978 horror movie, Halloween* (because why not?) and convinced them to hunt unsuspecting survivors, who, like Benedict, have been pulled into the Entity's constructed world. They all have a singular purpose -- to hang their victims on conveniently placed meathooks so that The Entity can tear their souls out and literally feed on their hope. But Death is not an escape. Survivors continuously find themselves back at the same campfire, even if they escape! As Benedict notes, they’re just pawns in a parasitic charade.

Once a beacon of wealth and status, the family mansion is now an abomination. He lived a lavish, decadent life. It made him fat, tired and ultimately, bored. He turned inward, away from the world, and into the mansion. Forgotten rumors of an awesome power beneath the surface took hold of him. Using every last nickel of the family fortune, he excavated the dungeons and catacombs beneath the foundation, seeking a fabled gateway. Finally, in the deepest darkest corner of the catacombs, he found a portal that lead to a world of madness and an unfathomable evil. He fled for his life, leaving the bodies of the slain excavation crew behind. Ravaged by the guilt of his own cowardice, he took his own life. He has bequeathed you your birthright, the estate and surround lands, imploring you to contain the ever-spreading evil. It is known that there are adventurers, some might say heroes, who spend their time at the Stagecoach in the nearby town. If they could be recruited to mount expeditions to cleanse the estate of its ancient evil, the Earth and human civilization could stand a chance. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

This change in viewpoint lead the developers to give the game the working title of, ‘Sonic’s Ass Game.” Aku Aku, the floating witch doctor mask that follows Crash and gives him aid, was named after a Polynesian restaurant in Boston, the game’s creators frequented. Crash Bandicoot’s difficulty is the reason we have DDA, or Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment, in video games today. In the Crash sequels, DDA assisted players by giving them bonus hit points and extra checkpoints if they kept dying. DDA has been used in games like Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, and more! There is who sub-species of bandicoot named after Crash. The character brought so much attention to the species that when scientists discovered fossilized remains of a previously unknown bandicoot, they named it Crash Bandicoot. The character of Ripper Roo, known for his trademark laugh, is actually just a re-tuned recording of Dallas McKennon’s iconic laugh as the Hyena in Disney animated classic, The Lady and the Tramp. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

The Famicom, after overcoming some growing pains, swept through Japan like wildfire and became the best selling console. Nintendo would then turn its eye towards the West. But before they could enter the US market, Nintendo needed an American partner to license and distribute their hit system, and that partner was industry vet Atari Inc. A preliminary deal was to be signed at the 1983 summer Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas… until Atari execs saw Donkey Kong on the Coleco Adam Computer at that very same CES show. Offended, Atari halted the agreement until Nintendo could reel in Coleco, but it was too late. Atari CEO Ray Kassar was fired for insider trading and the Nintendo deal was dead. Now without a US distributor, Nintendo formed the subsidiary company Nintendo of America, and at the January 1985 CES show they unveiled the Nintendo Advanced Video Game System, but reception for the system was ice cold. The video game crash just two years earlier still had Americans spooked. Nintendo went back to the drawing board, but this time they modeled the system design after video cassette recorders which were booming at the time. So just like how you would load a VHS tape into the front of a VCR, you would insert a game pak into the front of the Nintendo system. Very exciting! To really cement the NES as an innovative product, Nintendo created ROB, the Robotic Operating Buddy, which made the system appear more like a fun toy and less like a complex entertainment system. Coupled with the Zapper light gun (because America loves its guns dammit!), Nintendo was poised for success. The NES debuted on October 18th, 1985 in New York City and was an instant hit. By 1990, almost a third of all US households were playing with power! The video game industry would go on to make a miraculous recovery, and Nintendo its king… until a new challenger appeared.

Épisode 549 - SEGA GENESIS LORE: Sega does what Nintendon’t! | LORE XL! | Sega Origins | TerminalMontage | LORE

Ever wonder how the Sega Genesis was able to compete with Nintendo? The answer is blood and football! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch NES LORE here: http://bit.ly/2uadNe6 Written by William Lu Animated by Jeremey Chinshue: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Transcript: In the mid 1980s, Sega tried to take on the blockbuster 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System, with the Sega Master System. Despite superior hardware that offered more on-screen colors, the Sega Master System never gained a significant market share in Japan or the US. Sega would be down but not out. Led by R&D boss, Masami Ishikawa, Sega began development of the 16-bit Sega Mega Drive. While it was known as the Sega Mega Drive in Japan and Europe, the system was christened as the Sega Genesis for the US. Much like how Nintendo initially went to Atari to license the NES hardware for American sales and distribution, Sega also did the same but wisely decided to form their own subsidiary company and distribute the Sega Genesis system themselves. The Genesis launched in 1989 to good, but not great, sales. But bolstered by smart marketing moves and a strong library of games, Sega soon found itself at the top of the gaming mountain. First, with the release of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega finally had a mascot to rival Nintendo’s Mario. Sega marketing also coined the term “Blast Processing” to boast that it was faster and more powerful than the competition, which synergized well with Sonic’s “gotta go fast” mentality. The ad campaign was wildly successful because frankly, “faster transfer speeds and higher data bandwidth” just isn’t as sexy BLAST PROCESSING! Second, the Sega Genesis was marketed as the edgier system with the uncensored release of Mortal Kombat. While the Super Nintendo version had gray colored blood when you performed the fatalities, you’d really get to see Sub-Zero yank that gorey spine out because Genesis Does What Nintendon’t! And lastly, the fruitful collaboration with Electronic Arts, particularly their sports series of games, really gave Sega the edge on the software side. John Madden Football made its debut on the Genesis in 1990 and quickly became one of the system’s killer apps, smashing a 75,000 unit sales forecast with five times the amount sold. The Genesis was so successful that Sega tried to extend the life of the system with a bunch of peripherals, which ultimately backfired. There was the pricey, Sega CD add-on which had a library of crappy full-motion video pseudo-games. They followed that with the stop-gap Sega 32x which obliterated all the goodwill that Sega had built up with their fans. Gamers were ready to leave the Genesis behind and move onto the next console generation. Sega would attempt recapture the Genesis’ success with the 32-bit Sega Saturn at the very first Electronic Entertainment Expo show… but Sony had other plans.

The event was hosted by the two most famous Inklings in the world, Callie and Marie. Known affectionately as the Squid Sisters, they were highly competitive, yet loved each other dearly and were rarely apart. But Callie’s defeat at the hands of her own best friend would slowly poison their friendship. The sisters rarely saw each other because they were too busy tending to their newfound fame, though Marie suspected Callie resented her and was jealous of Marie’s Splatfest victory. Still, they went on with their lives and never spoke of it again. Marie went home to Calamari County, and Callie had promised to meet her there the following day… but she never came. Cutting her trip short, Marie jumped on the next train back to Inkopolis to discover that Callie has gone missing. Not only that, the Great Zapfish and Cap’n Cuttlefish went missing with her.

The Splatoon developers were never able to find an answer as to why the rabbits would be shooting ink, and realized squids would be a much better fit for the game’s central motif. In it’s earliest genesis, the game featured black and white “tofu-like” blocks, shooting ink at each other to steal turf. Fast Fact: During Splatoon’s development, Nintendo had heated debates over whether Splatoon would introduce a new Nintendo IP or if it would star Mario. Ultimately, Nintendo went with the potential upside of creating a new IP and purposely banked on the youth of the Animal crossing team to give them a fresh take on both the 3rd person shooter genre and a new franchise. Fast Fact: When players are on the password screen, highlighting a number will produce a unique musical note. If you follow a specific order you can play the Squid Sister’s hit, and final boss theme of the game, “Fuel the Melody.” The sequence is too long to repeat… so we’ll just leave it here.* *767676765676767238767 676765672343212349432761 Fast Fact: To create the sound effects of the squids diving into the ink, the audio department recorded themselves pounding slime over and over again. Composer Yuki Tsuji personally went out to purchase household items like Borax, starch, solidified jelly, wood glue, and through some wizardry, created the slimey sounds we all know and love today. Fast Fact: It’s no coincidence that the Octobrush resembles the Hanga Bake, a type of brush used in Japanese printmaking. The Japanese version of the game even identifies the weapon as the “Hokusai,” a reference to the edo-period artist, Katsushika Hokusai who is best known for his woodblock print series, “Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji”. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Épisode 552 - PINBALL: Evolution of the Pinball Machine | LORE XL! | Pinball Origins | TerminalMontage | LORE

Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Sega Genesis LORE here: http://bit.ly/2sMgPBJ Written by William Lu Animated by Jeremey Chinshue: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr: https://www.youtube.com/user/WiiStation360Games Transcript: Pinball has its origins in the 1800s when the French invented what was called a “Bagatelle-Table." This was a variation of a billiard or pool table in which players use a cue stick to hit balls into pockets surrounded by pins. In 1869, inventor Montague Redgrave developed the spring launcher; this would be one of the first features of the modern pinball game. In 1931, coin operation was added to these machines and features like sounds, bumpers, and score trackers soon followed. Finally, in 1947 player controlled flippers were added, ushering in the Golden Age of pinball machines. But these flippers were a little late to the party, as pinball already had a bad reputation that would be difficult to tilt, er shake. Without flippers, the early pinball machines were games of chance instead of actual skill; because of this they were lumped together with slot machines and were classified as a form of gambling, which was illegal in the United States. Adding to pinball’s shaky reputation was the fact that most of the pinball manufacturers were based out in Chicago, home of Al Capone and the hotbed for organized crime. Many lawmakers at the time were convinced that pinball had a mafia connection, and one man, New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, made it his crusade to rid the machines from his city. Initially, LaGuardia found it difficult to get public support for banning pinball machines since they didn’t have the stigma that was attached to slot machines. However, after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, LaGuardia took advantage of the U.S.’ wartime “Salvage for Victory” campaign which called for citizens to donate as much scrap metal to the war effort. On January 21, 1942 a ban on pinball machines was approved and police squads raided any public space where pinballs were to be found. The NYC raid collected around 2,000 pinball machines and in a PR display that Eliot Ness would be proud of, they smashed all of them with sledgehammers. Almost one ton of scrap metal was collected from these pinball machines. Pinball had to go underground to shady parlors and strip clubs, but in 1976, the coin-operated amusement lobby wanted New York to reconsider the ban. They wanted to show that pinball was a game of skill and not chance. It all came down to one shot. They brought in expert player Roger Sharpe. Sharpe claimed that pinball is a game of skill, and he would prove this by not only calling his shot, but describing a specific path the pinball would take. Sharpe’s called it exactly how he described it and just like that, the pinball ban was overturned and pretty soon, the machines were back in arcades all over the country.

Épisode 553 - PIKMIN Fast Facts! | From garden to Gamecube | Octopimp

Pikmin was inspired by ants and originally conceived as a Sims-style game… but thankfully we got Captain Olimar and the Pikmin instead! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Splatoon Fast Facts here: http://bit.ly/2v739VZ Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Josh Swallow www.joshswallow.tumblr.com Voiced by Octopimp https://www.youtube.com/MasterYorgi Transcript: Fast Fact: According to Shigeru Miyamoto, Pikmin was birthed out of the hotly anticipated Super Mario 128. Debuting at Nintendo's Space World trade show in 2000, many believed the tech demo was the sequel to Super Mario 64. It wasn’t until GDC 2007 that Miyamoto confirmed Super Mario 128 was just a demo to showcase the power of the Gamecube, but he also noted that several key techniques, like rapid object generation and the ability to control multiple AI’s, were the foundational gameplay concepts used for Pikmin. Fast Fact: By Pikmin 3, the unidentified Planet of the Pikmin was given the name PNF-404, by the inhabitants of Koppai. This seems to be an inside joke played by the developers as 404 is a HTML status code for "Page Not Found", or PNF. Koppai itself is a reference to Nintendo’s genesis. Founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi on September 23, 1889, Nintendo Koppai operated out of Kyoto, Japan, producing and marketing Hanafuda playing cards, which found major success in Yakuza gambling parlors! Fast Fact: Pikmin was originally going to be a game called, “Adam and Eve,” a Sims-like game where players would watch the development of two human beings. Eventually, the developers found the concept to be far too passive, leading to the introduction of Pikmin characters as well as the other concepts found in the game. Soon after, most of the original plans were scrapped and the Pikmin were made the stars of the game. Fast Fact: According to Miyamoto, the inspiration for Pikmin came from his gardening hobby. After observing a line of ants marching towards their nest, he imagined what that might look like if they were all tiny people, banding together to supply, protect, and grow their tiny village. Fast Fact: To help the struggling sales of the game in Japan, Nintendo created a virtual Pikmin band called Strawberry Flower, and released the single, “ Ai no Uta.” The song became a bonafide hit in Japan selling over 630,000 copies and outselling Pikmin itself. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Some time in the Late Iron Age, more than 2,000 years ago, the Picts rose and flourished on the islands. Named by the Romans for the use of war paint on their faces, the Pictish were a Celtic tribe with language and customs predating the Romans themselves. For hundreds of years the Celtic tradition lived strong on the island, but the fortunes of the Celts would soon turn. Some time in the late 8th century Scandinavian Vikings landed on the Orkney Islands and wiped out all of the Celtic warriors who stood in their way. Or so they thought… Senua, Celtic warrior goddess, has battled demons external and internal her whole life. During the Norse invasion, Senua’s lover and friend Dillion was killed. Unable to contain the voices in her head any longer Senua, must go on a journey through both the physical and meta-physical world into a Norse hellscape. Believing Dillion’s head to contain his soul, Senua has taken it for safe keeping as she embarks on a personal journey through a hellish underworld made up of her psychotic manifestations of both reality and mind, to bargain for her former lover’s life.

Whitehead later used his Retro Engine and teamed up with fellow super-fan and dev Stealth, Simon Thomley, creator of the SonEd hacking tools and Project Mettrix, to produce a proof-of-concept video showing Sega's 1993 release, Sonic CD, running on an iPhone. Sega quickly sent a cease and desist letter to Whitehead, who took the demo down. Surprisingly, Sega had a mysterious change of heart, and two years later, recruited Taxman and Stealth to officially release the port across multiple platforms. They continued their alliance and developed the retro engine remakes of Sonic and Sonic 2 in 2013. Following that success, the fan duo joined up with PagodaWest Games to pitch Sega a 2D Sonic game in the vein of the original entries: Sonic Discovery. And with that, all their years of hard work and dedication to The Blue Blur culminated in Takashi Iizuka simply saying “I have so many questions.” The Sonic boss sent them to lunch while he thought it over. Though, when they returned, Iizuka took out a whiteboard, wrotethe original Sonic game titles, and finally ended with... Sonic Mania—By the mania, for the mania. Have fun!

This is a reference to Sonic's origins -- before he became a hedgehog, Sonic was a rabbit called Feel. The infomercial for the Collector’s Edition of Sonic Mania lists the price as $6,231,991 dollars. Since the Collector’s Edition will actually cost $69.99 it’s likely the fake price is a reference to the original release date of Sonic. June 23rd, 1991. Designer Hirokazu Yasuhara, was only able to work on the game because of the first Gulf War. Yasuhara was originally tasked with starting a new R&D team in America, but Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait postponed his trip and freed him up for other work. Lead Programmer Yuji Naka and character designer Naoto Ohshima recruited him as a level designer -- he never ended up going to America and instead designed the classic Sonic stages we know and love. Sonic’s first ever appearance in a video game was not Sonic the Hedgehog, but 1990’s Rad Mobile. The game was released for the Sega System 32 and was a first person racing game. Sonic can be seen as an air-freshener hanging in the rear view window. During development, Sonic was intended to have a love interest named Madonna who would chase Sonic around throughout the game. Originally it was thought that Madeline Schroeder from Sega of America removed her from the finale release to “soften the game” for the non-Japanese audience, but in 2011 Yuji Naka stated that she was removed because it was a cliché to feature the damsel in distress, but maybe-probably because of Mario. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

The Shattering, as it came to be known, nearly destroyed all civilization on Earth. With the ground fractured, the oceans boiled, and gravity all wacky, it took decades to rebuild the planet. While the were world’s governments stretched thin and weakened after having sold off huge tracts of land to keep society intact and fund reconstruction, criminal enterprises thrived fueled by typical bad guy things: drugs, violence and loss of all hope in the future and humanity! The gangs and cartels of the world unified and formed the Breakers, and by 2105 they spread to the United States and brought their special brand of narcotics and warfare to the streets. In an unprecedented response, the law enforcement divisions of the country have banded together to eliminate the Breakers and their naughty ways! The Transnational Authority of Supplement Control, or T.A.S.C, the leading government enforcement agency has allied with the Archangels and the Valkyries to uphold freedom and deliver justice. But this is no ordinary fight for control of the streets. Through gravity manipulation and use of… supplements, humans have given themselves super abilities.

The original game UFO: Enemy Unknown released with an unnoticed bug that switched the game's difficulty setting to Easy after the first Battlescape mission. When players complained the game was too easy, even on “Superhuman,” MicroProse increased the difficulty setting for the sequel, Terror from the Deep, and it was way harder than anyone anticipated. UFO: Enemy Unknown was created by Nick and Julian Gollop and was initially conceived as a sequel to their 1988 game, Laser Squad. However, developer MicroProse wanted the new game to take place on a larger scale than Laser Squad and that lead to the addition of an alien invasion and XCOM. The cinematic after the first UFO is shot down in XCom: Enemy Unknown shows the latitude and longitude of the crash site, though in real life these are the coordinates for publisher 2K Games in California. Similarly, the Alien Base cinematic shows coordinates that correspond to the Firaxis Game Studio in Maryland. The original 1994 UFO: Enemy Unknown found it's inspiration for XCOM from the 1970 British television series UFO, created by Gerry Anderson. The show featured an XCOM like group called SHADO, that protected the Earth from Alien attackers. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle Lore here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bitRA7xlI5M Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Funymony: https://www.youtube.com/user/Funymony Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr: https://www.youtube.com/user/WiiStation360Games Transcript: This is the first Mario game developed and published by a company other than Nintendo… technically. While Ubisoft Paris will get the official credit from Nintendo, there were several Mario titles in the 80s and 90s that Nintendo had no involvement in other than licensing the IP, and thus are not officially recognized. Some of the titles include Hudson Soft’s 1984 Mario Bros. Special and Philips’ 1994 Hotel Mario. In the brainstorming phase of development at Ubisoft, five designers generated 13 ideas over a 2 and half-week period. Before settling on a tactical game, Ubisoft was strongly considering making a MOBA or a real-time strategy game. When the game was first “leaked,” the robot rabbid companion named Beep-O, was called Tuttorio. The character is an ally for the player and guides you through the levels, so Tuttorio might have been a HARE on the nose. Due to the character’s appearance he’s been given the nickname, Roomba. Ubisoft has taken Luigi's infamous death stare from Mario Kart 8 and turned it into a special technique of his called "Steely Stare". Each playable character will have two techniques, a primary and secondary. Ubisoft has had the idea to do a Rabbids/Mario crossover since as far back as 2010 during the Wii U era. Early concept ideas included an adventure game that had the Rabbids infiltrating the Mario world. There was even concept art that featured Mario chasing after some Rabbids, who had apparently stolen Bowser from the Mushroom Kingdom. At the time Nintendo was reluctant to give out the Mario IP and Ubisoft never formally pitched the idea. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Beside a locked door that would otherwise lead to the lounge, players may linger by the door and hear a warped version of Paul McCartney’s, "Hope for the Future," which was dubbed the unofficial theme song of Destiny. Bungie has admitted that they have no clue what the Darkness was, despite all the bad guys being “minions of the Darkness.” The sequel still won’t define the Darkness -- in fact, they’ve entirely removed the term “Darkness” from the game. But Bungie promises that they have a plan -- and a definition -- for the Darkness so, hey, maybe we’ll find out in Destiny 3? Comedians David Cross and Brian Posehn were asked by Bungie to punch up Ghost’s dialogue for the original Destiny. The two were flown to the studio and there they wrote a series of one-liners to bring some levity to the character, but none of the dialogue was used for the game. Gone with the Tower is our beloved Purple Ball. You’ll find it’s deflated remains on the steps of the Tower Plaza. But fret not, the new social space, dubbed “The Farm,” will feature a soccer --ahem football pitch with fully functional goals while you wait for your buddies to finish up their business with the Postmaster. The original plan for the Destiny franchise was to support it with DLC throughout its 10-year run, but after a lot of trial and error with the first game, Bungie went for the hard reset and even built that into the sequel’s narrative -- thanks Gary! This time around, though, Bungie is teaming up with Vicarious Visions and High Moon Studios to pump out DLC faster than you can go into orbit. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Samus Aran is back and more 2.5D than ever in her mission to eradicate all the Metroids and uncover the truth of their existence on SR388!

But as they began to grow old and sense the end of their kind, they created a supercomputer known as the Mother Brain to store the accumulated knowledge of the Chozo and use it to bring peace and harmony to the galaxy. Somewhere along the way, Mother Brain determines that the Chozo are obsolete and the Space Pirates make for a better tool in her quest to restore order to the universe. Great timing, because the Space Pirates have just invaded Zebes! Meanwhile, the Galactic Federation has just discovered Planet SR388, and on it, the powerful bioweapon created by the Chozo, the Metroid. They took these creatures aboard their ship to study, but Space Pirates overwhelmed the vessel and stole the Metroids. Commissioned by the Federation, Bounty Hunter Samus Aran is sent to Zebes where she blasts through the Space Pirate Base, defeats high-ranking pirate Kraid and Ridley, and destroys Mother Brain. But that’s not all! Samus later finds herself battling a mutated Metroid Prime on Tallon IV, and after dealing with all that, the Galactic Federation decided enough was enough and Metroids must be eradicated. A research team was sent to SR388 to wrangle the rest of the Metroids, but they went missing. A rescue team went in… who also went missing. Then, the Federation Police… also gone and probably dead. And with that, the Galactic Federation has once again turned to Samus Aran to exterminate the Metroid threat… but they’ve evolved into something even deadlier.

Épisode 566 - METROID: Birth of an Intergalactic Bounty Hunter | Development Lore | Metroid Franchise Origins

22 septembre 2017

In the face of bright and lighthearted Nintendo classics, Gunpei Yokoi set out to make a dark, moody, and ultimately groundbreaking action game that culminated in Super Metroid. Watch on to find out Metroid’s origins! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Metroid Samus Returns Lore here: insert link Animated by Steve Dorian: https://www.youtube.com/user/mmmLemonyFreshFilms Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Transcript: In the early 1980’s Nintendo released a string of successful platforming games including Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros. They also found success with the critically acclaimed adventure game The Legend of Zelda. The brain trust at Nintendo Research and Development 1 and Intelligent Systems decided to combine elements of both game types to create a new kind of action game. Originally titled Space Hunter, game directors Satoru Okada and Yoshio Sakamoto and producer Gunpei Yokoi wanted to push the video game boundaries and decided to make a game that would feature a non-linear progression and solitary exploration, but most importantly, a female lead. Some time into the development process, one of the developers asked the others, "Hey, wouldn't it be kind of cool if it turned out that this person inside the suit was a woman?" Everyone agreed and Samus Aran became the first female protagonist in a home console video game series. Then, taking world and character cues from Ridley Scott’s Alien and its creature designer H.R. Giger, the game was retitled Metroid, a combination of metro and android. The game was released in Japan for the Famicom Disk System peripheral in August 1986, and in North America for the NES one year later to critical and commercial success, setting itself up for the 1991 sequel, Metroid II: Return of Samus. While it didn’t enjoy the same reception as its predecessor, the game was very popular in North America, and after pitching for half a year, Metroid creator Yoshio Sakamoto was finally given the greenlight to create another sequel for the SNES. Nintendo was still dubious, and over the course of the game’s two year development, producer Gunpei Yokoi cut the game’s budget and almost canceled it at least three times. Thankfully, he didn’t. Widely considered one of the best video games ever, Super Metroid was released in 1994, smartly building on the world-view and story from the previous two games and setting the franchise up for massive success for years to come.

Épisode 567 - Metroid FAST FACTS!

25 septembre 2017

Samus Returns with a Metroid Remake, so we’re back with a Metroid Fast Facts! Did you know Planet SR388 gets its name from a Yamaha Motorcycle? You did? OK, fine. Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Watch Metroid Samus Returns Lore here: insert link Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Oryozema: https://www.youtube.com/user/Oryozema Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr https://www.youtube.com/user/WiiStation360Games Transcript: Yoshio Sakamoto, co-creator of Metroid, has stated that the 1979 sci-fi masterpiece ALIEN, was a major influence on the creation of the game, including having a female protagonist and the boss Ridley as a reference to ALIEN director, Ridley Scott, but the similarities don’t end there. A Nintendo Power issue states that Samus’ appearance in a comic adaptation was based off Ripley. It’s debatable whether or not sequence breaks -- the act of completing tasks in an unexpected order -- were intentionally built into Super Metroid. The map, however, wasn’t finalized until the later stages of development, which cut short the amount of time for bug testing. This could be why Super Metroid has so many sequence breaks. But if after completing the game and leaving it to idle on the title screen, a gameplay demo will show advanced techniques essential for sequence breaking. Samus' most iconic power-up, Morph Ball exists only because Nintendo's programmers couldn't animate Samus crawling under low walls and into secret holes. So instead, they just had her turn into a ball. Part way through development it was decided that the usual SNES noises for the bosses didn't have the right oomph, so the developers turned to various Godzilla movies to find the right sounds. Crocomire and Phantoon had cries similar to Titanosaurus from Terror of Mechagodzilla, Draygon was sampled from Anguirus, and Mother Brain has the same sound as the... mother of Godzilla villains, Mothra. Perhaps the most iconic part of Metroid is Samus’ Varia Suit. The name is actually a mistranslation the developers decided to make canon. Originally the suit was called the Barrier Suit because it could withstand high temperatures and acid. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

With the release of the SNES Mini, we dive into the development of the Super Nintendo! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by William Lu Animated by Jeremey Chinshue: http://www.youtube.com/user/TerminalMontage Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Transcript: With the runaway success of the NES, Nintendo was resting on its laurels during the 1980s and was reluctant to develop a new video game system. However, the days of the 8-bit gaming were numbered and Nintendo would soon have to enter into the 16-bit era… Like he did with the original NES, Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi tasked his development group Nintendo R&D2 and asked engineer Masayuki Uemura to come out of retirement to spearhead the design of this new project, the Super Nintendo. The SNES featured several specialized chips, which included the S-SMP sound unit, developed by Sony engineer Ken Kutaragi. Kutaragi also wanted to do more collabs with Nintendo, including a CD-Rom attachment but alas, that didn’t pan out. On the graphics side, the SNES had two custom graphics chips, which allowed for eight graphic modes or effects, the most famous of which was Mode 7. Mode 7 allowed for the scaling and rotation of the background layer. This effect was used in the racing games F-Zero and Super Mario Kart, as well as in the overworld maps of Final Fantasy 2 and 3. But these graphics chips were pricey, the SNES as originally designed would have been far too expensive, so Nintendo made the fateful decision to supply the system with a relatively slow CPU to meet the $200 price point at launch. Consequently, some first generation SNES games would be plagued by flickering and slow-downs. But Nintendo would have a workaround for that! Unlike their competitors which had expensive CD-Rom peripherals, Nintendo focused on pushing the SNES hardware further via specialized chips in its software. These chips would essentially do most of the heavy lifting and provide wonderful effects like 3-D polygons and sprite scaling. The most famous of these would be the Super FX and FX 2 chip, found in the game Starfox and Yoshi’s Island, respectively. Love for the SNES remains strong over 25 years after its launch. Pre-orders for the SNES Classic opened up from the major retailers on August 22nd, 2017 and just like it did in 1990, it immediately sold out. Despite promises from Nintendo that they would produce more inventory than the NES Classic, pre-orders were quickly snatched up by scalpers, er bots, er nostalgic Nintendo fans!

It wasn’t until the success of the 2010 release, Super Meat Boy, also made by a two-man team, that got the brothers serious again. Chad began working on the animating and Jared on game design. The studio team now includes a developer in Romania, an animator in Brooklyn, and a jazz musician in Ontario. While the game design was influenced by Disney, and cartoonists Ub Iwerks, Grim Natwick, and Willard Bowsky, particularly their most "subversive and surrealist" elements, game creators Jared and Chad Moldenhauer were mostly inspired by the work of Max Fleischer and Fleischer Studios. Chad has called Fleischer Studios "the magnetic north of his art style." The actual character of Cuphead was inspired by a 1934 Japanese propaganda film, in which Japanese folklore heroes fight off an army of snakes, alligators, and bat-shaped Mickey Mouse lookalikes. In the cartoon, a teacup-headed man turns into a tank, serving as the foundation for Cuphead’s design. There were 150 iterations of what would become the Cuphead character, including one with a green kappa with a top hat and one with a fork head. To stay true to the visual aesthetic of 1930’s cartoons, Studio MDHR had to utilize the same guidelines that were set in that era. Everything is hand-drawn and the backgrounds are painted, even the score was created via analogue means. The one modern technique used was Photoshop, which Chad used to color in the characters.

After a nasty little off-world mutiny Replicants were declared illegal on earth. That didn't stop a few fugitive skinjobs from making their way to Los Angeles in November 2019, where they're retired by Blade Runner Rick Deckard and his special ladyfriend replicant, Rachel. The two maybe flee into the winding roads of a verdant land… but we all prefer to leave it at the elevator. A major EMP causes the Blackout of 2022 leading to crashed markets, critical data loss, food shortages, stalled elevators, and a prohibition on Replicants, who are blamed for the whole mess. Reclusive science guy Niander Wallace puts an end to starvation with his special brand of frankenfoods free of charge, putting the government in his debt. He comes to collect when he asks for a repeal of the prohibition because he has engineered a new, meek and manageable Replicant. With the help of a very… persuasive visual aid, Wallace, now the owner of the Tyrell Corporation, is manufacturing his perfectly passive Nexus 9 models in the year 2036. Soon the LAPD is beefing up its Blade Runner unit to retire illegal Replicants. In the course of his duty, Officer K goes in search of long-lost fellow officer Deckard, unearths a secret that could reveal the future of humanity and plunge it into chaos...again.

Skyward Sword was quickly overshadowed by its competitor, Skyrim, and Hyrule needed a makeover. Producer Eiji Aonuma tasked his team to rediscover Zelda's essence. They remastered classic Zelda titles for WiiU, noting their strengths, and tested their new game engine as an 8-bit prototype, proving it could change Zelda's future while remaining true to its past. But the real test was Miyamoto. The team developed a demo highlighting new mechanics and when the legendary developer spent an hour climbing trees, they knew they had a hit. But Aonuma wanted more. Hyrule Warriors and Link Between Worlds introduced voiced cutscenes and non-linear gameplay. Designers were encouraged to get weird, drawing Biker Link and Link in a tracksuit. And Xenoblade developer, Monolith Soft, developed a Kyoto-inspired open-world to bring Zelda into the modern age. Unfortunately, the modern age can be tricky. That fancy new physics engine meant changes on one section of the map caused chaos elsewhere. Weak Wii U sales then prompted Nintendo to push this new Zelda as the launch title for their next console, which proved to be a blessing in disguise. After extended QA testing, Link galloped, soared and climbed his way back to the top in 2017's Breath of the Wild.

Épisode 574 - STAR FOX 2 | Dev Lore | SNES | Development History | LORE

24 octobre 2017

Caught in between aging hardware and console rivals, Star Fox 2 was a casualty in the console wars. But over two decades later, Nintendo has finally opened the vaults! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by William Lu Animated by Danny Reyes: https://www.youtube.com/user/oryozema Voiced by Jace Willcutt: https://www.youtube.com/user/jacelift Transcript: The 1993 SNES game Star Fox was a huge hit both critically and commercially, and plans were quickly hatched for a follow-up. The original dev team, Argonaut software, was recruited once again to work on the sequel with Nintendo. Star Fox 1 had been the first consumer product with a 3D graphics accelerator in the form of the Super FX chip. Star Fox 2 would have utilized an even more powerful version of this chip, the Super FX 2 chip. This was the same chip was used in the game Yoshi’s Island. For the sequel, the developers opted to mix it up with the ability to choose different paths, rather than the linear level arrangement of the first. Also, the game would have random rogue-like encounters so that every playthrough of the game would be unique and different. Star Fox 2 was going to really push the aging SNES hardware to its limits and be even more impressive than its predecessor. However, by the time that the game was in beta by 1995, the Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation systems had already successfully launched. Not wanting to put this old gen 3D against these next gen 32-bit systems, Nintendo decided to pull the plug on Star Fox 2, despite the fact that the game was 95 percent complete. Argonaut software nevertheless decided to finish the game and it even went through Nintendo’s Mario Club QA testing. But apart from some leaked ROMs, it would seem that Star Fox 2 would never see an official release. However, with the announcement of the SNES Classic, Nintendo surprised everyone by including Star Fox 2 as one of the 21 games on the retro console. It only took 22 years!

The Isu developed Pieces of Eden, artifacts to control humans but cross-breeding bred humans immune to this power. Adam and Eve stole one such artifact, the Apple of Eden, and the decade-long rebellion only ended when the Toba Catastrophe, a solar flare, devastated both species. Another solar flare, the Second Catastrophe, weakened the Isu's numbers further. Humans recovered, but their gods, the Isu, became extinct. Fast forward to Ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs tasked the Medjay, an elite Nubian police force to protect valuables, but when Cleopatra and Ptolemy came to power, the Medjay were disbanded. When Cleopatra was exiled, her servant Aya aided her queen despite protests from her husband Bayek, the last Medjay. Meanwhile, Ptolemy the boy king was a puppet for the Order of the Ancients, a secret society seeking Pieces of Eden to control the people. Cleopatra turned to Julius Caesar for help, because that will end well, and Bayek laid the foundations for a certain eagle-eyed brotherhood. Fast forward to modern day, the Assassin's Brotherhood still opposes Abstergo Industries, the modern Order of the Ancient's and Templar Order. But is Abstergo just a front for a long-dead Isu, Juno, to be revived and seize control? Hop in the way-back-machine or Animus or whatever and...

These godlike beings, now harnessing the souls of lords, challenged the everlasting dragons for dominion over the world. Together, with the help of a betrayer, the Lords defeated the dragons and ushered in the Age of Fire, an era ruled by these champions. Though sadly, the fire cannot burn forever. With the fire fading, and a dark age nigh, Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, sacrificed himself by linking his soul to the First Flame, and with that, he perpetuated the Age of Fire and became the first Lord of Cinder. Eons have passed, and the First Flame has been linked countless times by worthy souls, but the Age of Fire is once again quickly fading. A bell tolls awakening previous Lords of Cinder so that they may re-enact the sacrifice of Lord Gwyn. Alas, only one willingly returns to his throne, the meek Ludleth of Courland. The Abyss Watchers, an undead legion tainted by the Abyss they swore to contain, are locked in an internal conflict. Yhorm the Giant withdrawals to the profaned capital, overcome with grief and regret for failing to save his people. Aldrich, Saint of the Deep and devourer of men, anticipates the coming dark with delight. And Lothric, the prince destined to link the flame would rather see it fade into darkness. You are the Ashen One, an undead who has failed to link the flame in a previous age. Your duty is to return the five Lords of Cinder to their thrones and link the fire once more… but this time without poise. Praise the soup.

Épisode 578 - CALL OF DUTY: Origins of the “Medal of Honor Killer” | Development Lore | History of Call of Duty

7 novembre 2017

EA’s single mistake led to the creation of one of the biggest video game franchises… but will a return to its roots reinvigorate the Call of Duty franchise, or has it worn out its welcome? Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Edgar Nielsen: https://www.youtube.com/user/funymony Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Transcript: In the late 90s and early 2000s, EA’s Medal of Honor series established itself as the dominant brand for World War 2 shooters with the critically lauded Allied Assault. But despite all its accolades, EA chose not to bring back 2015 Inc., the team responsible for their smash hit, and instead brought all development of the franchise in-house. The developers wasted no time and made it known they were available to hire, and Activision quickly snapped up the ex-Allied Assault team. Straight away, they went to work on a World War 2 first person shooter that had the official working title of “Medal of Honor Killer.” Early in development, the game featured a James Bond hero on a secret mission to stop the Nazis from building a nuke, but they scrapped that in favor of multiple, intertwined storylines which came to define the Call of Duty series. Infinity Ward had also developed advanced AI, which had NPCs banking grenades, flanking enemies, and laying down cover fire -- all things that were typically scripted. Coupled with the iron sights mechanic, Infinity Ward crafted an immersive World War 2 shooter, but Activision was still uneasy. Activision peppered the newly-minted studio with unecessary feedback and suggestions until finally, the IW heads convinced the execs to quit with the handholding. Yet, the game was still a hard sell on paper as a PC-only game. Thankfully, Activision UK saw a potential in the new franchise and backed it with the largest marketing campaign ever executed for a PC game. Call of Duty went on to become Activision’s first global hit, transforming the publisher into a worthy contender to EA. But will a return to its World War 2 roots recapture the magic and nostalgia that kickstarted the franchise? Or will you get bodied by streamers that preordered for double-xp and bonus weapons?

Lady Lima is especially important because she is an expert on the Beanstar, the ultimate defense and protector of all of the Beanbean Kingdom. Possessing a great magic, the Beanstar has the ability to grant wishes and fulfill even the greatest of desires. The evil Beanish witch Cackletta, and her peculiar, but equally evil, sidekick Fawful, have hatched a plan to steal the Beanstar and take over the Beanbean Kingdom. According to legend, the Beanstar was sent into a deep sleep to prevent it from falling into evil hands. Now, it can only be opened by a pure voice, which of course only Princess Peach possesses. Cackletta and Fawful, along with their many minions, have stormed the Beanbean Castle and captured everyone inside. With the good guys out of the way, Cackletta and Fawful have disguised themselves as goodwill ambassadors to gain entry into the Mushroom Kingdom. With Mario in the shower and Luigi doing Mario’s laundry, the Beanish villains have picked the perfect moment to trick Princess Peach and steal her voice to awaken the Beanstar.

The war is over and the city is littered with success and excess. Housing developments are going up, highways are being built, the movie business is skyrocketing. While the film stars and directors and producers bask in the fame and fortune, the city’s institutions are being infiltrated and corrupted at the highest levels. Take a stroll through the gilded set of Intolerance, then score a fix around the corner. The Cohen Crime Syndicate, lead by Mickey Cohen, is everywhere, looking for their cut. Hell, everyone is.

Together, he and his partner Ralph Dunn have stumbled upon more than a few sticky situations. After displaying the instinct needed to wade through a corrupt city, Precinct Captain James Donnelly has promoted Phelps to the traffic desk as detective. The glitz and glamor of the city barely cover up the muck underneath and Detective Cole Phelps will have to cut through all the crime and grime to unravel the secrets of LA’s underbelly… but he’ll only have his notebook, intuition, and the strength of Rockstar’s facial capture system to guide him.

Prophecies predicted a great evil would come to claim them, but the ominous paintings became religious nonsense only Lex Luthor seems to know about and the Amazons and Atlanteans faded into myth. So, Earth was in the market for a new savior. Thankfully, just before Krypton exploded, young Kal-El escaped to Kansas and became Earth's protector as Superman. Unfortunately, xenophobic billionaire Lex Luthor created the Kryptonian abomination, Doomsday, which killed Superman. He then used General Zod's ship to send out a message: The Kryptonian is dead and Earth is unprotected. Steppenwolf, a world-conquering general with an army of Parademons, heard the call and his boss, Darkseid, totally wants those Mother Boxes for his collection. Now, Batfleck must get over his loneliness and gather a star-studded, box office-smashing team to defeat the Parademons. Join the Amazon from the best DC movie so far, the comic-relief speedster, the king of the seven seas, and a tragic athlete rebuilt using Mother Box technology as they open a boom-tube to a film we hope is leagues better than Dawn of Justice.

Still, with Gerrera's help, the rebels obtained the schematics for the Empire's greatest weapon, the Death Star, and blew that mother up.

Framed as a traitor, Iden was quickly recruited by the Partisans, now called the Dreamers after Gerrera's death. Over time, Inferno Squad sowed dissent, killed each of the Dreamers and proved their ultimate loyalty to the Empire. After years undercover, Iden has finally returned to official duty, but the Rebels just destroyed the Second Death Star, killing the Emperor. Before his death, however, Emperor Palpatine put into place Operation: Cinder, a contingency plan to destroy the Empire and its enemies because an Empire cannot outlive its Emperor.

At first these abilities called “quirks” were a shiny new toy for mankind, but not all used their powers for good and took up the mantle of Villain. The Police decided that NOT using their quirks to enforce the law is a good idea to keep a status quo, giving rise to the profession of “Hero”. This allowed the use of quirks to fight crime for money, fame...and sometimes justice. Heroes became the new celebrities, to the point that Hero High School’s sports festival was more of a public spectacle than the Olympics. While heroes are supposed to be working together, they have no problem stealing a villain’s capture for public credit and money from one another like birds body slamming each other off a feeder for seeds.* Izuku Midoriya was born into the 5th generation of super humans, where 80% of the world’s populace is born with a quirk. Izuku drew the short straw, being a boring, pathetic, normal human being who won’t stop crying.

More than a passion, this obsession was fueled by the desire to avoid the dreaded fate that befell so many of his ancestors. This obsession tore his family apart.

After 22 years of living his life away from his family, David has has learned that his father has taken his own life, and must now go to his family’s Scottish highland manor, Black Mirror, to settle its heritage. Like all family matters, it’s complicated. The matriarch of the family, Lady Margaret, is unsure David is fit to take over the house, as is David’s cousin Eddie, who grew up in the manor. Even more, David is having a tough time uncovering the true nature of his father’s death. And ever since he arrived he’s been having terrible nightmares. Perhaps he’s going mad, like his father. He can’t be sure. He knows less about his family than the appropriately creepy staff that maintain the haunted grounds.

Épisode 586 - PLAYERUNKNOWN’s BATTLEGROUNDS: Battle Royale Rising | Dev Lore | PUBG | Brendan Greene | LORE

16 décembre 2017

What does it take to create 2017’s most popular murder dome simulator? Inspiration from a Japanese cult classic, a South Korean studio, and a whole lotta streamers. Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Steve Dorian https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7AZGZl2NBroPPfaNDzg3Q Voiced by Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr: https://www.youtube.com/user/WiiStation360Games Transcript: Before he was PlayerUnknown, Brendan Greene was a globetrotting photographer and graphic designer trying to make ends meet. He was 30-something when he moved to Brazil in pursuit of love but that sadly ended in divorce. During this time, Greene was enamored with and took solace in ARMA 2’s DayZ mod. And with inspiration taken from the Japanese cult classic Battle Royale, Greene was confident he could make something even more captivating. In 2013, Greene taught himself to code and set out to realize his vision and fix what he thought plagued the genre; repetition. By utilizing a sprawling battlefield that randomized item placement with every new game, players could never predict how or when they’d win, or more likely, be eliminated. Couple this with a shrinking playing field and a high-degree of replayability, Greene had a hit with his new mod, DayZ: Battle Royale. After developing the mod for ARMA 3, Green was approached by Daybreak to act as a consultant on H1Z1. Daybreak licensed the Battle Royale mod from him and released H1Z1 with the battle royale-like mode, King of the Kill. But Greene’s big break came in 2015 when Bluehole Studio head Chang-han Kim wanted to make his own battle royale styled game. Kim flew Greene to company headquarters in South Korea and impressed him with their concept and vision for their own game. Greene was quickly named creative director and promised they would sell one million copies of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in one month -- they eclipsed that mark in only 16 days. Now with over 10 million units sold and counting, the only thing left is to win that chicken dinner!

Épisode 587 - PUBG FAST FACTS! | PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds | LORE

22 décembre 2017

Dying to know why the trees look so good but render so bad in PUBG? Check out this episode of Fast Facts! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Edgar Nielsen: https://www.youtube.com/user/funymony Voiced by Jace Willcutt: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3LxkCQEV8wiCGJYzg2ZDFw Transcript: Fast Facts! A web designer by trade, Greene knew how to read code, but couldn’t really write it and would instead tinker with other people’s code. According to Greene, the SQF in Arma is a terrible language, but it’s a good for beginners because it’s easy to understand. People who helped Greene were surprised that one of the most popular mods was coded so badly! Fast Facts! The safe zones were originally inspired by the film Battle Royale, but Greene’s coding skills weren’t up to snuff. Instead, he just made an “ever-decreasing” circle, which seems to be working out just fine. Fast Facts! A realistic game world was such a high priority that one of the game artists spent a week reading “The Trees of Crimea” in order to create the correct vegetation using the SpeedTree tool. Now if only they could get them to render accurately… Fast Facts! There are several easter eggs in PUBG that are references to popular streamers. For instance, Devilwalker's name appears in graffiti in-game, a grateful nod since Devilwalker got Player Unknown his first DayZ mod server. Fast Facts! Back in August of 2017, a phenomenon known as Stream Honking became a thing. Like Stream Sniping, players would watch popular streamers playing PUBG live on Twitch and drive to their location. Using car horns that had been added in the latest patch, players would then honk circles around the streamers to mildly hilarious and definitely obnoxious effect.

Épisode 588 - MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 ft. Mary Jo Pehl | Development Lore | Origins of MST3K | LORE

29 décembre 2017

In this very special episode of LORE, MST3K writer and actor Mary Jo Pehl recounts the humble beginnings of Mystery Science Theater 3000! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Debbie Staab Animated by the LORE Team: https://www.youtube.com/lore Voiced by Mary Jo Pehl: https://www.facebook.com/maryjopehl https://twitter.com/MaryJoPehl Transcript: In the not-too-distant past, successful prop-comic and comedy upstart Joel Hodgson, unimpressed by what Hollywood had to offer, shrugged and returned home to the Midwest. While working in a T-shirt factory, he conceived a show that combined pop-culture references, puppetry and cheesy movies. Featuring a Silent Running-like hippie vibe, signature theater silhouettes inspired by the liner notes of Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, names lifted from Lost in Space and The Blob, and myriad other influences, Mystery Science Theater co-created by Trace Beaulieu, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Josh Weinstein, who doubled as crew, premiered on St. Paul UHF station KTMA on November 24, 1988 to an enthusiastic if sometimes confused audience. The Comedy Channel, seeing the potential of Joel, Tom & Crow to deliver laughs and fill open hours of programming, ordered 13 episodes. Convincing the execs that they couldn't possibly shoot anywhere else, the MST3K team gleefully filmed the show in Minnesota throughout its TV run. A few cast changes later, including the departure of Joel (who lost the rights), MST3K was picked up by the SciFi channel for three seasons featuring Pearl, Bobo, Observer, Mike, and the bots. Finally in 2015, Joel reacquired the rights and went on to hold the biggest Film & Video campaign in Kickstarter history to create the 2017 Netflix incarnation, with an all-new cast! If you're wondering how they eat and breathe...well, you know the rest. La-la-la.

Épisode 589 - UNREAL | Lore in a Minute! | Na Pali | Epic MegaGames | 1998

Find out why a planet full of peaceful aliens are enslaved to the Skaarj Empire in this 1998 FPS classic! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Edgar Nielsen: https://www.youtube.com/user/funymony Voiced by Jake Parr: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw5XZXzgUpOGOftRZSJ1TgQ Transcript: On the fourth planet in the Gryphon system, Na Pali, the deeply religious, primitive Nali, live in peace and worship the gods. Unfortunately, Na Pali is one of a few planets in the universe rich in Tarydium, a blue crystal-like element used to make weapons and for power sources. While irrelevant to the Na Pali, it is prized by massive mining corporations like Liandri. Along with its incredible value, it also has a significant gravitational pull. Believing themselves to be the naturally superior race of the galaxy, the reptilian Skaarj, from Skrath, have reunited their disparate clans to create the Skaarj Empire, with plans to conquer the entire galaxy. They have invaded and easily taken over the pacifist Nali, whose religion forbids them to use violence. They have enslaved the entire planet and are using them to mine for Tarydium, to give the Skaarj a massive military force. The religious Nali believe the Skaarj are demons cast down on them by angry gods as punishment. Taking solace in prayer, the Nali pray to the gods to send them a messiah. It might just be a coincidence then, that the mysterious Prisoner 849 is aboard the UMS Vortex Rikers, the rankest prison transport vessel this side of The Milky Way. Transporting prisoners to a remote prison moon, the ship is about to fly through Na Pali’s enhanced gravitational field.

Épisode 590 - PATH OF EXILE: The Rise and Fall of Wraeclast | Oriath | LORE in a Minute!

An ancient and powerful civilization’s obsession with magical gems doomed their people… but lucky for you, you’re just in the business of farming! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by MrChambers: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrchambersAnimations Voiced by Jace Willcutt: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3LxkCQEV8wiCGJYzg2ZDw Transcript: The oldest and perhaps first people on the continent of Wraeclast were the Vaal. Well-versed in the ways of thaumaturgy, they discovered The Tears of the Maji which were magical gems that if harnessed, provided great powers. But as their queen became more and more obsessed with eternal youth and the human sacrifice that demanded it, their civilization came to an abrupt end. The fall of the Vaal led to the rise of the Azmeri, who shared the same fascination with gems, but to a much larger degree. Malachai, a thaumaturgist, created Gemlings, by surgically implanting gems into people. Not everybody was on board with that, so the Templars were formed to overthrow the thaumaturgy-worshipping emperor. Lead by High Templar Voll, the rebels won and Voll became emperor. Then, in his efforts to rid all magic, Voll set out to destroy the source: The Beast. ...But he failed and there was another cataclysm that left the continent in ruin. Centuries later, on the nearby island of Oriath, the Templars rule as a religious theocracy. Dominus, the High Templar, punishes those who have committed crimes by exiling them to Wraeclast, including one anonymous prisoner who might just stumble upon Dominus’ secretive research into the ancient thaumaturgy.

Épisode 591 - SOUTH PARK: Fractured But Whole | LORE in a Minute! | Coon & Friends | Freedom Pals

24 janvier 2018

Because fantasy epics don't make as much money as a superhero cinematic universe, Cartman and his pals are back as Coon & Friends… but they've got a competing franchise to deal with. Also farts. Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Steve Dorian https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7A... https://twitter.com/LemonyFreshTwit Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterYorgi Transcript: In the small mountain town of South Park, Colorado, the New Kid, known only as Douchebag, assembled a group of fighters, thieves, mages and Jews and saved the town from a Nazi Zombie Virus. Terrified of its awesome power, the group then threw the Stick of Truth into Stark's Pond and decided to play something else. Meanwhile, in cinemas across the country, superhero franchises were turning billion dollar profits. To cash in on the trend, Eric Cartman, in vigilante guise as The Coon, assembled the young heroes of South Park in his basement to start a Three-Phase cinematic universe. His plans are thwarted by none other than Professor Chaos and his army of fake news journalists, and because adults can't distinguish what's real and what's totally made up, both the town and Cartman's investors actually believe Coon and Friends… do the things they're accused of doing. Coon and Friends eventually restore their reputation by spreading fake news about Mark Zuckerberg, forcing him to take down Facebook. Now all that's left is to kickstart their cinematic universe with Netflix because they'll greenlight anything! Unfortunately, the boys couldn't agree on who would get their own films, so Mysterion, Tupperware, Wonder Tweek and Toolshed left to create a competing cinematic universe as The Freedom Pals. Launched straight into a Phase 3 Superhero Civil War, it's up to you -- the new kid -- to harness your farts and infiltrate The Freedom Pals.

After countless experiments and failures, they succeeded in creating slipgates, devices that were used to transport cargo and people instantaneously. But the humans never counted on something coming through from the other side. One of the slipgates opened a portal to another dimension. A dimension of monsters and demons. The mother of monsters, Shub-Niggurath, given the codename, "Quake," has taken control of a slipgate and is using it to send her demonic forces to Earth. Quake's reality is one of magic, and each facet of magic is represented in four runes. The Rune of Earth magic, which holds the foundation of arcane power; The Rune of Black Magic, which contains the dark side of magic; The Rune of Hell Magic, the keeper of the most heinous secrets of the magical arts; and the Rune of Elder Magic, which bears a power beyond good and evil, a magic for too advanced for a simple mortal being to understand. It is Quake's goal to find and unite the runes, enabling the beast to have a power so great, it could destroy Earth and all of humanity. Facing such dire ends, the humans have enacted Operation Counterstrike, with the hope of using the lost slipgate to attack Quake's own dimension and destroy the mother of monsters.

To this end, Red recruited the greatest minds on Earth including Doctor Gero, but their army was overthrown by the young Saiyan boy Goku. Gero became obsessed with creating warriors powerful enough to crush Goku. After several failed androids, he began using DNA from real people for his experiments. Notable experiments included Android 16 based on his deceased son, twin runaways Androids 17 and 18, and Cell, the combined DNA of Goku, the Z Fighters, and their enemies. Zero then turned himself into Android 20 to live longer, but Android 17 betrayed and killed him, and 16 even gave his life to fight Cell and reclaim some of his humanity. But, c'mon, death isn't permanent! Android 16 has returned with an army of clones that look and fight like your favorite warriors while their real counterparts have mysteriously fallen unconscious. Not only that, Frieza, Cell, Nappa, and the Ginyu Force are all miraculously alive and well.

Widely popular, his rule was considered the Golden Age of Bohemia. In 1376, his son, Wenceslaus, was elected King of the Romans and two years later, when Charles died, he succeeded his father and became King of Bohemia. Meanwhile, Charles' younger son Sigismund was sent to Hungary to study the court and become their King, which he did in 1387. The empire was in far worse hands with Wenceslaus. While Sigismund was politically astute and driven by power, Wenceslaus was volatile and... kind of a drunk. Finally in 1400, Wenceslaus was deposed and his half-brother Sigismund kidnapped him to seize lands he believed his right to own. With Civil War imminent and the Holy Roman Empire in his sights, Sigismund was free to plunder and pillage the the lands of Bohemia, including the village of Skalitz. One of the few to survive the attack was Henry, the son of a lowly blacksmith. His parents, friends, and true love Bianca, were all killed. His father's dying wish was for Henry to redeem himself for letting them all die. Yikes. To fulfill that wish, Henry has pledged service to Radzig Kobyla, lord of Skalitz and an old trusted advisor of Wenceslaus, who is forming an underground resistance against Sigismund. But Henry isn't backed by some ancient prophecy or divine right, he's just an ordinary lad with a vengeance pact.

Épisode 597 - CONTRA: Red Falcon's Revenge | Lore in a Minute!

8 mars 2018

MORE SPREAD FOR THE SPREAD GUN GOD Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Michael Gainey Animated by Edgar Nielsen: https://www.youtube.com/user/funymony Voiced by Jace Willcutt: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3LxkCQEV8wiCGJYzg2ZDFw Transcript: In 1957, an object crash landed in the Amazon basin near the Mayan ruins. Scientists shrugged it off as a humdrum meteorite but for 30 years -- or 6 months in gross-alien-abomination years -- Red Falcon, the most evil being in the galaxy, established a foothold in the rainforest to conquer Earth, and ultimately the Universe. By 1987, the backstory from the Japanese game manual was completely ignored and politicians in Washington learned of the coming invasion. Unfortunately, an all-out assault on the Amazon Basin would have caused an international incident, so instead, two warriors were chosen to take down Red Falcon, 80's style. When a pair of Hollywood action heroes didn't return their calls, the government enlisted Privates First Class Bill "MadDog" Rizer and Lance "Scorpion" Bean of the Contra Unit of elite commandos. MadDog and Scorpion will have to blast through waves of alien henchman, utilize devastating weapon upgrades and punish a few mini-bosses but if they hope to defeat Red Falcon, they'll learn they can't just unload unlimited amounts of lead into its big ugly face. They'll have to capture... its heart. And probably have, like 30 lives.

Each ruler must pass the Kingmaker's trial to form a bond with the beast and rightfully rule. In the Kingdom of Ding Dong Dell, cat and mice tribes lived together, but the minister of mice secretly poisoned the king of the cat tribe and led a coup against the king's kind hearted son, Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum. Forcefully separated from Aranella, his motherly attendant, Evan fled the kingdom with Roland Crane, the mysteriously displaced President of a large country from Ichi No Kuni. Now Evan must prove his right to rule... using Higgledies? These heart spirits exist in anything from humans and animals to wind and water, and form emotional bonds with to enhance your skills, though they are only seen by the pure of heart. Without a kingdom, Evan has decided to unite ALL of Ni No Kuni as his kingdom.

Épisode 599 - PACIFIC RIM | LORE in a Minute!

23 mars 2018

The Precursors have been plotting an invasion of Earth for millions of years, and now that humans have terraformed it to their liking, they're sending their super-stegosauruses (and hopefully more plot details about dino-kaijus) through the breach! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Zeurel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Zeurel Voiced by Jake 'The Voice' Parr: https://www.youtube.com/user/WiiStation360games Transcript: On August 10th, 2013, the first Kaiju, Trespasser, obliterated San Francisco and the Bay Area. It took six days and three nukes to stop it, but that was just the beginning of the Kaiju War. The Pan Pacific Defense Corps. was established to combat the Kaiju, but the catastrophic fallout from nuclear war begged for a more… environment-friendly weapon. Enter Dr. Jasper Schoenfeld. Following the fourth Kaiju attack in Sydney, Dr. Schoenfeld watched his son do battle against toy monsters with his robot action figures, and probably thought "Why the hell not?". With the help of an old student and romantic flame, Caitlin Lightcap, the two pitched the PPDC on a new method to fight the Kaiju: gigantic ROBOTS. They weren't just any robots, though, these "Jaegers" were piloted by humans, jacked in via a neural interface called the PONS. But testing of the first prototype, the Mark-1 Brawler Yukon, was a disaster. The neural load induced a seizure in its pilot, so instead Lightcap created a neural bridge that would allow two minds to bear the load of one Jaeger through a process called drifting. With the fate of the Jaeger program and the world on the line, Lightcap and Lieutenant Sergio D'Onofrio piloted Brawler Yukon and defeated the fifth Kaiju to make land, Karloff. But as humans began to turn the tide of the war against what they thought were primal beasts, the Kaiju's shadowy masters began to evolve and adapt their monsters in response to the Jaegers. Known as the Precursors, they've patiently waited for humans to pollute the planet to desirable levels because their dry run with the stegosauruses about 65 million years ago was a flop. And with all that time spent waiting, they continued to iterate on their creations, upgrading carbon to silicon, allowing only the strongest mutations to survive. Itching trade their dying world for another, the Precursors are sending their exterminators through the Breach... and all humanity's got is a wall.

"Save as many as you can. Whether they wish to be saved or not." Joseph preached the coming Collapse, recruiting misguided souls into the Project at Eden's Gate. As the cult grew, Joseph moved them to Hope County, Montana to settle New Eden, becoming known as "The Father". In Montana, Joseph befriended local priest and Gulf War veteran, Jerome Jeffries, coercing his congregation to join the cult. Joseph's siblings, the Heralds, then recruited the rest of Hope County. John, a ruthless lawyer, secured land and converts using blackmail and coercion. Faith, the pacifist, spread the Father's message of salvation. Jacob, the military marksman, locked down the county with modern weaponry and upgraded aircraft. When Jerome objected to their methods, the cult beat him and left him for dead. You are the Deputy Sheriff dispatched to arrest Joseph Seed, but you'll find yourself surrounded by an army of cultists. Navigate the Montana wilderness, recruit resistance fighters like Mary May Fairgrave, whose father was driven to suicide by the cult. Or crop-duster Nick Rye whose plane could come in handy. Or a giant bear because video games. Together you'll save Hope County in this "work of entertainment" definitely not inspired by today's politics.

Odin cut out his own eye to drink from the well of wisdom, tricked the seer Groa into collecting runic tomes to see the future and killed her for her knowledge, and he exiled the prophesied threats of Loki's children - Hel, Jormungandr and Fenrir. Thor, eager to prove his might, used his hammer Mjolnir to slay Thamur, the Jotun stone mason who built walls to protect Jotunheim from the unhinged god of thunder. Feeling responsible, Sindri and Brok, Mjolnir's creators, gladly crafted a new weapon, the Leviathan Axe, to restore balance to the realms. Frost Giants, Dwarves, the Vanir gods, all were displeased with Odin and Thor's violent bravado. Well, enemies of Asgard, your prayers are answered. Kratos, a demigod with a knack for toppling mythologies just strolled into Scandinavia. His wife requested her ashes be spread from the highest point in the realms so he'll drag his son Atreus all over Yggdrasil to find it. Unfortunately, Kratos will find that raising a well-adjusted boy as a single father may require more than a ratty beard, a mythical axe and a quick-time event.

Épisode 603 - GOD OF WAR | Fast Facts!

Octopimp's got your God of War Fast Facts! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by Edgar Nielsen: https://www.youtube.com/user/funymony Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/masteryorgi Transcript: The development team originally considered Egyptian mythology but because that era emphasized civilization, it would draw away from central theme of a "stranger in a strange place" -- Cory Barlog wanted focus on Kratos and his son exploring a barren and isolated land. The entire game is presented as one single, uninterrupted shot. There are no load screens, cinematic cutscenes, or fades to black. The concept was inspired by a sequence in John Woo's 1992 film, HARD BOILED. For the first time in the series, Kratos will not be voiced by TC Carson. He'll be voiced by Christopher Judge, best known for his role as Teal'c in Stargate SG-1. Sunny Suljic, who plays Atreus, was given significant input on casting his in-game father and because of their great chemistry, Judge was chosen for the role of Kratos. Kratos' main offensive weapon will be a two-handed war axe called Leviathan. The Leviathan is a sea monster mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and it is speculated that the development team named the axe Leviathan as a reference to the intended ending for God of War 3, where the flooding and death of the Greek Gods lead to the creation of monotheism. Kratos' son Atreus was nearly cut from the game to due difficulties in creating an AI companion. Instead, the developers looked to Naughty Dog for help, who had scrapped and rebuilt Ellie's AI in six months time. The collaboration didn't stop there -- the team also worked with Horizon Zero Dawn developer Guerilla Games. --------- About LORE in a Minute!: LORE is your one-stop shop for the history, plot, backstory -- you name it -- of your favorite franchises from video games and anime to comics and movies, and more.

Grey Seer Rasknitt, with promises of a cure, has persuaded Clan Fester to move against the man-thing city of Ubersreik. Their plans, however, were thwarted by five heroes: Bardin Goreksson, a dwarf warrior on a quest for the lost dwarven hold of Karak Zorn; Kerillian, the sharpshooting wood elf, who has long left her post as guardian of Athel Loren; Victor Saltzpyre, a skaven-obsessed witch hunter dedicated to fighting heresy; Sienna Fuegonasus, a bright wizard, pyromaniac, and Saltzpyre's prisoner, and Markus Kruber, a former soldier and now prisoner escort. But Rasknitt would not be denied his genius and our heroes, caught unaware, were thrown into a strange portal and locked away. Rasknitt then formed a Dark Pact with the Chaos warclan Rotbloods to destroy the realms of man. They have begun construction on the Skittergate, a portal that will allow the Chaos champion Bodvarr Ribspreader and his Rotblood army access to the fortress city of Helmgart -- the next stop on the road to total devastation. But when the Skittergate conveniently malfunctions, Markus Kruber escapes his cage and frees his friends in the ensuing chaos. Now reunited with Franz and Olesya, our five brave heroes must lop off every single limb and head they encounter, and put Rasknitt down for good.

Independent entities explored the far reaches of the Universe, but this race across the galaxy was lawless, and defense manufacturer Alterra prospered by selling to all sides of the Expansion conflict. Eventually, Alterra threatened to cease all trade, paving the way for peace. Leaders from all sides instituted The Charter which established 37 separate but equal Trans-Govs, independent authorities in control of at least one solar system and phasegate. By the late 22nd century humans have gone deeper into space than ever before. The Alterra Corporation has charged the Aurora and its crew with the goal of building a phasegate in the remote region of space known as the Ariadne Arm. But unknown to most of the crew, they've also been tasked with investigating the remains of the Degasi, a ship that mysteriously crashed on the planet 10 years ago. A Mongolian vessel, the Degasi was captained by Paul Torgal, CEO of the Torgal Corporation, and the crew included his son Bart Torgal and known mercenary Marguerit Maida. To aid Alterra's diplomatic efforts with the Mongolian Council, a Mongolian Emissary has joined the crew of the Aurora. And of course, the Aurora is about to meet the same fate as the Degasi, with only maintenance chief Ryley Robinson as its sole survivor. He'll have to brave the local fauna and find a way off the planet, but there's something even more sinister lurking in the waters.

Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Ben Blumenthal Animated by MrChambers: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrchambersAnimations Voiced by Erika Harlacher Transcript: By the early 21st century humans have become comfort-seeking, technology-dependent creatures. Cities like Detroit that were once beacons of the 20th century industrial revolution are now in economic decline. In response, benevolent tech company Cyber Life have created androids to do all our dirty work because that always ends well. At the outset, androids improved life and reignited Detroit’s economy, but as more and more humans lost their jobs to their robotic counterparts, they’ve grown resentful. By 2038, androids permeate Detroit and tensions are at a tipping point. Not only that, some models are beginning to act outside of their programming. Kara, despite exhibiting independent thought, is shipped off to her new owner against protocol. To make matters worse, she belongs to an abusive father and drug-addict. Kara will have to contend with her newfound emotions and decide between Alice’s safety or her coded duty. To assist the police force with these kinds of anomalies, Cyber Life has activated Connor, a deviant-hunter with all the bells and whistles… but he’s partnered with an android-loathing alcoholic, Lt. Hank Anderson, which is totally not a situation where an android would go rogue. But perhaps it’s all connected to RK200 model Markus. Treated as an equal by his owner, celebrated painter Carl Manfred, Markus begins to develop a soul and soon finds himself on a journey to liberate his brethren from their meatbag masters that could send him, and the rest of the world, into an android revolution.

In 1987, Yoshiki Okamoto assembled the group that would be responsible for the first Street Fighter game. Praised for its innovative control scheme which required a series of inputs to activate special techniques, Street Fighter was a hit and plans for a sequel were made. However, the Street Fighter team had jumped ship to competitor SNK, but that only fueled Okamoto's competitive fire. Street Fighter 2: The World Warriors was released in 1991 to critical and commercial success. Over 60,000 cabinets were shipped worldwide -- a number that hadn't been seen since the original Donkey Kong. The biggest reason for its success? Capcom emphasized competitive gameplay, making the versus mode the primary game mode. The sequel had fantastic controls and gamers quickly tried to master all the moves of the various fighters. Hardcore gamers quickly found out about the game's glitches in which a player could link attacks to unleash devastating combos, amplifying the complexity and depth of the core mechanics. Street Fighter was also highly influential to the esports, competitive online gaming scene as we know it today. Local arcades, like Sunnyvale's Golfland began hosting Street Fighter 2 tournaments attracting hundreds of players. Eventually these regional tournaments would grow to bring in thousands of players from around the world. Matches between rockstar players Alex Valle, Justin Wong and Daigo Umehara would become the stuff of legend. Today the Evolution Championship Series is the world's largest fighting game competition, with thousands of entrants duking it out in Las Vegas. In 2017, Street Fighter 2, the game that started it all, was inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame and the SNES conversion remains Capcom's best selling game, ever.

Épisode 609 - Warframe | Lore in a Minute!

25 juillet 2018

What's the worst that can happen by sending self-replicating machines to explore an unknown system called the Void? Find out in today's episode of LORE! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Michale Gainey Animated by Edgar Nielsen: https://www.youtube.com/user/funymony Voiced by Jake 'The Voice' Parr: https://www.youtube.com/userwiistation360games Transcript: Long ago, humanity discovered The Void, an extra dimensional realm. Studying the Void advanced science quickly. The Orokin Empire terraformed the Origin System, but after centuries of expansion, resources became scarce. So the Orokin sent self-replicating machines to terraform the Tau System. The first colonists boarded the ship Zariman 10-0, headed to the new system, but the void-jump failed. Presumed lost, the ship returned years later. Unfortunately, only the children survived, plagued by explosive new powers. Thankfully, Orokin scientist Margulis created Somatic Pods to grant them control and pleasant dreams. Meanwhile, the self-replicating machines returned as The Sentients, seeking revenge on their creators. The Orokin were outmatched, so they weaponized the children, now called the Tenno. Forced into Transference, the Tenno projected into surrogate biomechanical armor called Warframes, drove back the Sentients and ended the Old War. But the history of the Tenno has faded, the Collapse of the Orokin Empire is an ancient mystery. Centuries later, new factions fight for Orokin technology. The Grineer, descended from Orokin clones, augment their deteriorating bodies to conquer the colonies. The Corpus, profit-mad scavengers hunt for better technology. And the Infested mutate their enemies with invasive Technocytes. You are one of the Tenno. Awakening in a pod, you're surrounded by Grineer soldiers hoping to dissect you. Good thing you're gun-toting, sword-swinging biomechanical death machine.

Épisode 610 - D&D Forgotten Realms ft. Matt Mercer | LORE in a Minute!

Critical Role's Matt Mercer joins us for this very special edition of Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms LORE! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Michael Gainey Animated by Jules: https://www.youtube.com/user/sabertoontigers Voiced Matt Mercer from Critical Role https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpXBGqwsBkpvcYjsJBQ7LEQ Transcript: First there was nothing, then overgod Lord Ao created Selune and Shar twin goddesses, creators of The Astral Sea, planets like Abeir-Toril and the goddess, Chauntea. Chauntea begged for warmth to create life on Abeir-Toril and Selune agreed, but Shar refused, sparking the War of Light and Darkness. As new deities were created in the conflict, Selune reached into the Plane of Fire to create the Sun. Enraged, Shar attacked, but Selune tossed her divine essence (gross) at Shar, creating the magical goddess, Mystryl and The Weave, the source of magic later accessed by mortals. Shar was defeated but meanwhile, the Primordials, elemental beings of chaos, wanted Abeir-Toril for themselves, so Shar and Selune teamed up for the Dawn War. The Primordials were ultimately imprisoned but only after The Night Serpent consumed the sun. Thankfully, a new sun was created, melting the ice and welcoming the five Creator Races: Sarrukh, Batrachi, Aearee, Fey and Human. Lord Ao, however, ignored most mortals, preferring to oversee the deities, balancing their alignments of good, evil, lawful, chaotic or neutral and ranking them by the number and devotion of their followers. Gods meddled to gain followers, while some mortals proved popular enough to ascend to godhood. Over thousands of years, the creator races spawned new species while others, like Dragons, Elves and Dwarves emigrated to Toril. Empires rose and fell, cults prayed for power, and new heroes were born everyday. Now it's your story. From the floating cities of Netheril to the Drow settlements of the Underdark, explore ancient dungeons, discover magical items, melee malicious monsters or flirt with a handsome halfling at the pub, whatevs. Just don't cozy up to any gelatinous cubes.

Épisode 611 - Monster Hunter Franchise History ft. Arekkz Gaming | Development LORE in a Minute!

Arekkz Gaming is our guest of honor for this episode of Monster Hunter Dev Lore! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Animated by DJ Ross: https://www.youtube.com/user/vghangover Voiced by Arekkz Gaming https://www.youtube.com/user/ArekkzG Transcript: At the dawn of time, or early 2000s, Sony announced Playstation 2's fancy new Network Adapter and Capcom wanted to showcase its online capabilities. So Capcom recruited Arcade Development Planner and CEOs son, Ryozo Tsujimoto, to oversee online systems for Auto Modellista, Resident Evil Outbreak and Monster Hunter. Co-op made Monster Hunter a hit and popularity erupted when Tsujimoto produced Monster Hunter Freedom 2 for PSP. Japanese gamers met on trains, in break rooms, on street corners. Portable gaming and arcades were social scenes in crowded Japanese cities, but Westerners... stayed home. After several Japan-only spin-offs, the Nintendo Wii gave Capcom a new chance at Westerners. Still buoyed by Japanese sales, Tri caught the West's attention, porting to 3DS and WiiU, but 3DS controls and local-only multiplayer soured the fanbase. Mulling a Japan-only release, vocal western fans convinced Capcom to localize Monster Hunter 4 and the prominent story and noob-friendly Insect Glaive helped western sales finally break the million mark. For a fifth installment, Capcom focused on World appeal. Tsujimoto pushed for simultaneous worldwide release for PS4 and Xbox One, an open-world without load screens, worldwide matchmaking, and voiced tutorials, hoping Monster Hunter World could defeat the series' Japan-only stigma. Turns out they crafted their best selling, and arguably, best Monster Hunter title of all time… until we're getting bodied by a G-Rank Jagras in Monster Hunter World Ultimate of course.

Épisode 612 - World of WarCraft: Battle for Azeroth | LORE in a Minute!

18 septembre 2018

The world of Azeroth is literally bleeding, and all you've got is a necklace and RicePirate to fix it! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Michael Gainey Animated by Jules: https://www.youtube.com/user/sabertoontigers Voiced RicePirate: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnX9ICBUU8WZgMhrZUcRyuw Transcript: Azeroth, war-torn world and nascent titan, had a Burning Legion problem. The Alliance and Horde united to stop this third invasion but the deaths of Varian Wrynn and Vol'jin left the Alliance and Horde under new management, and Sargeras plunged a massive sword into Azeroth at Silithus. Enter Sylvanas Windrunner. Killed by Arthas Menethil, transformed into a banshee, enslaved by the Lich King, Sylvanas liberated some of her fellow undead as The Forsaken. Rejected by the Alliance as abominations, The Forsaken joined the Horde and Vol'jin's last words appointed Sylvanas as new Warchief. Meanwhile, Anduin Wrynn, the new King of Stormwind, wanted to reunite The Forsaken with their living relatives. Anduin orchestrated a Gathering, but some Forsaken conspired to leave with the Alliance and Calia Menethil encouraged them. Furious, Sylvanas blamed Calia and killed her. Calia later revived as a Light-infused undead, but Anduin's hopes for peace were dashed. Despite their animosity, Magni Bronzebeard, shiny new Speaker for Azeroth, approached Sylvanas and Anduin to heal the planet's wounds, but Azeroth's blood, called Azerite, proved a powerful substance. Launching an Azerite arms race, Sylvanas burned Teldrassil to secure Kalimdor for the Horde and blighted her own city to keep it from Alliance control. While Horde and Alliance recruit new allies for the coming war, Magni Bronzebeard has given you the Heart of Azeroth, a necklace for collecting Azerite to heal your dying world… but mostly to upgrade your gear.

Octopimp recounts the rise and fall of an ancient civilization and a war between brothers on this episode of LORE! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Written by Michael Gainey Animated by Edgar Nielsen: https://www.youtube.com/user/funymony Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/masteryorgi Transcript: In the multiverse, rare beings are born with a spark. If triggered by traumatic events, these beings could ascend to Planeswalkers, powerful mages able to travel between... planes. You get it. One Planeswalker, Dyfed, visited Dominaria, encountering Yawgmoth and the Thran Empire. Yawgmoth recently discovered Thran's power source, powerstones, caused the disease phthisis, manufactured a cure and rose to power. Unfortunately, Yawgmoth dabbled in abominations and his former "patients" revolted. Yawgmoth asked Dyfed to find him a new plane to continue "curing" his people and Dyfed found Phyrexia. Yawgmoth fused with Phyrexia's core becoming god-like and killed Dyfed when she discovered his experiments. Thankfully, Rebbec, Yawgmoth's former ally, sealed the portal to Phyrexia with a powerstone. Millenia later, brothers Urza and Mishra searched Thran ruins, discovered a powerstone, broke it in two and parted ways, unaware of the portal. Urza rose to Warlord of Yotia, while Mishra would rule the Fallaji, eventually going to war. But Urza noticed Mishra had been corrupted by Phyrexians. Enraged, Urza used the Golgothian Sylex, killing Mishra and both armies, plunging the land into an Ice Age, and causing their stones to become lodged in his eyes, the trauma ascending Urza to Planeswalker. Now a vengeful mage, Urza travels the multiverse for knowledge and allies in trampling Phyrexia but Yawgmoth's had a few millennia to cook up some nasty creatures of his own.

Épisode 614 - Game Boy | Lore in a Minute!

Octopimp’s got the origin story of the legendary Game Boy! Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Animated by Nerogeist: https://www.youtube.com/user/nerogeist Voiced by Octopimp: https://www.youtube.com/masteryorgi Transcript: Legend has it Nintendo engineer Gunpei Yokoi was taking a train to work one day when he noticed a businessman passing the time by pressing keys on his calculator. From this incident, Yokoi was inspired to create the Game and Watch series.[Text Wrapping Break][Text Wrapping Break]In the early 1980s, the Game and Watch were a line-up of portable games by Nintendo that used the technology from the calculators of the era, namely their LCD screens. Yokoi’s design philosophy was called “lateral thinking of withered technology” which meant instead of trying to innovate with the newest and most powerful hardware, Yokoi believed in using existing technologies in new and creative ways. By using this older tech, the price point for the Game and Watch was reasonable and was one of the reasons for its success and popularity.[Text Wrapping Break][Text Wrapping Break]Each Game and Watch could only play one game, but that would change with Yokoi’s next and most famous invention, the Game Boy. By late eighties, Nintendo had found huge success with the Nintendo Entertainment System. Yokoi wanted to combine the portability of his Game and Watch line with the interchangeable cartridges and 8-bit processing power of the NES. And thus, the Game Boy was born.[Text Wrapping Break][Text Wrapping Break]Despite the availability of color screens and more powerful CPUs, Yokoi adamantly stuck to his design principles and the Game Boy was launched with a monochrome screen that could only display four shades of grey. Meanwhile competitors like the Sega Game Gear had color backlit screens and the Atari Lynx had both a color screen and a powerful 16-bit processor which allowed for Super NES mode 7 like effects.[Text Wrapping Break][Text Wrapping Break]But Yokoi’s Game Boy would prove to be the victor as what these competitors failed to realize all these more powerful technologies drained the batteries quicker than you could say “carbon footprint”. The Game Boy offered almost twice the amount of battery life and also had the exclusive rights to a little game called Tetris.[Text Wrapping Break][Text Wrapping Break]Eventually the Game Boy sold over 120 million units and launched franchises like Kirby and Pokemon.

Épisode 615 - Divinity: Original Sin 2 | Lore in a Minute!

13 octobre 2018

Erika Harlacher and Digsbot team up to give you the history of The Source and The Void which starts out perfectly balanced, as all things should be… but that never lasts. Subscribe to LORE: http://bit.ly/LoreSubscribe Follow Lore on Twitter @LoreInAMinute Animated by Digsbot: https://www.youtube.com/user/DigsBot Voiced by Erika Harlacher: https://twitter.com/ErikaHarlacher Transcript: Long ago, pure, unharnessed energy known as The Source was in perfect balance with The Void. On planes where the Source prevailed, life flourished; where The Void held power, there was nothing. In Rivellon, Seven Source powered Gods arose, one for each race -- Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Lizards, Orcs, and Imps -- and one for Wizards. But these races were often at war and The Void waited to destroy Rivellon. To protect Rivellon, the Seven gave a portion of their power to one mortal champion, The Divine. This champion was chosen from the Godwoken, mortals who are able to see and manipulate The Source. The latest Divine, a human named Lucian, defeated The Void, but later sacrificed his life, and most of Rivellon's Elves, using the Death Fog to kill his son Damian and the dark wizards of The Black Ring. Years have passed. A new Divine hasn't been chosen and Lucian's death has torn The Veil between Rivellon and The Void. Now, creatures called Voidwoken are attacking. Learning that Voidwoken are drawn to Source users, Lucian's son Alexandar and the Divine Order are rounding up Sourcerers, like you, to "cure" you of your powers. So guess what? It's up to you to learn the Voidwoken's terrifying secret and, you know, probably become that Divine person everyone keeps talking about.
