New Ghostbusters Trailer
So a trailer for the new Ghostbusters has hit the net, and confirmed your worst fears for this movie are well founded. The feminist edition cast just completely falls flat. They just aren't convincing. Yes gender has something to do with it. Gender isn't a pallet swap, it doesn't work that way.
A far better idea would have been to have two women and two men, and a complete rethink of the cast. Some potentials for the cast in such a movie would be: Aubrey Plaza , Jewel Staite, Chris Pratt, Nick Frost...
Not much of a casting director myself but, that's just of the top of my head.
Well there's always the originals
Europe watch
This will be a regular feature of news stories on the unfolding madness in Europe.
First up:
NATO's top general says mass migration to Europe is allowing ISIS to spread "like a cancer"
ISIS are infiltrating Europe in the mass of people pouring into the country. #ThanksMerkel
60 minutes crew attacked in migrant neighbourhood of Sweden
Sweden is known for no go zones in areas such as Malmo. There are whole towns there which are essential islamic enclaves.
As a follow up to that, this report from Ezra Levant on muslim areas in Sweden and Germany is worth watching.
Rebel Media report from Eurabia
Europe is facing a “self-induced humanitarian crisis”
The invasion continues into 2016. How do authorities cope when they were already overwhelmed with last years intake. Why hasn't Merkel attacked decisively?
There's are question the average person asks, while watching the leaders flounder.
Fire Emblem Fates - Treehouse Edition
There's been a stir about the localisation of Fire Emblem Fates for a few weeks. It's been know for sometime that some content had been removed, such as the head patting mini game. The localisation team at Treehouse had deemed these would not translate to the American or Western audience. But it doesn't end there. Treehouse has taken a hatchet to the game completely changing dialogue, altering the tone completely.
Take the support conversations with Soleil (who in the Japanese version has an infatuation with cute girls - though it is not in fact romantic). In order the get around possible controversy of sexuality, Treehouse has altered all the male support conversations to buddy support dialogue over romantic, implying her to be homosexual. Not only that but the dialogue has changed from mature, to cringy friendzone buddy chat. See the image below for the full rundown.
Other dialogue has been removed and replaced with ellipses for no apparent reason. Gamers understandably want play the game as the creators intended, but Treehouse has shown little respect to integrity of the experience in this regard.
Gamers have rallied around #fireemblemfates and #torrentialdownpour to voice their objection.
Bravely Second has also fallen victim to this "localisation" process:
