Adventures In Loathing
Recently I have gotten into a role playing
game called Adventures in Loathing or AIL for
short. AIL takes place in a midevil fantasy realm where you work twards a goal a mission.
The goal is not to beat the mission but to work with other players in the finnal for that perticuler mission. Curently AIL is finishing up it's third mission.
The third mission was broken up into two diffrent quests. A search mission and a rescue
mission. The search mission was to search for the chairacter toot oriole. The rescue
mission was to rescue Dash, Aleena, and Catrina. My chairacters John and Sherri Dunn
were on the rescue mission.
My chairacters are a commando couple from another universe. While looking for the missing trio, John and Sherri get into verious fights with bad guys ranging from low level thugs to high profile.
The trio were captured by space bugbear but escaped. While on the hunt, John and Sherri
come accross an ice girl named Becky. Her and Sir Fumbles aide the couple in the mission
and in the akward oddities of the new universe.
On the search mission Sassy meets up with an old friend and is accompanied by
her NPL (none player) team.

The Rouged One
The Rouged one
Rouge One a star wars story is best discribed
as the prequal to Star Wars a new hope. Twards
the end you will know why.
First off if you haven't seen Star Wars a new
hope (the one from the 70s) I suggest you see
it before seeing Rogue One.
Rogue One takes place in the Star Wars
timeline, as the Death Star is being tested.
The main goal in Rouge One is to steal the
plans for the the Death Star.
In this film there are new chairacters as
well as some familure faces and names. You
will recognise the obvious Darth Vador wich
has a small role but plays a significant
part. Princess Lea also makes a small
apearance at the end.
The main focus is not on them. It is on the
team of rouge Rebals: Felicity Jones (Jyn
Erso), Diego Luna (Cassian Andor), Alan
Turdyk (K2SO).
It starts out with Jyn, the dauter of an
Empire science officer, being captured by the
Rebelion. In order to be free she agrees to
help the Rebals go after her father.
Change of plans quickly come into play when a
city they had been in was destroid by the
Death Star. The new mission suddenly became
getting the plans for the death star.
Even though there was a team involved, the
film primarily focused on Filicity Jones
chairacter.
There were some camidic moments among the
battle scenes, wich by the way the Rebals got
their butts kicked badly.
There was one member of the team Donnie Yen
who plaid a blind Jedi, always saving the day
till the end.
Even Princess Leia was in it briefly at the
end. She was plaid by Ingild Deila. Certainly
not Carri Fisher but for the few lines she
had she held her own.
My only complaint with the whole Star Wars
franchise is that everything is not in order
in wich it sould be. All in all Rouge One
held it's own with a great story line and
great acting as well as leading into what we
know as A New Hope.

Thanksgiving 2016 OPINON
Over two hundred plus years ago, and fourty five presidents later, the first imagrants came to America. Mainly Eurapians.
As luck would have it they couldn't survive without help from the Native Americans. The Native Americans taught them how to grow their own food and hunt.
Fast forward to the 1800s when the decendants of the Eurapians who came over to America, started fighting the Native Americans and forcing them to live where no one else would dare to.
Sure they got their own land but the pain they had to go through. Now in 2016 the Native Americans continue to fight for their rights and land. They ae fighting to keep white corparate America from using their land.
The Native Americans fighting against the Dakota Pipeline are having to litery fight to survive as Police forces attemt to force them off their own land.
I find it ironic how we as Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving and have forgotten that if it wasn't for the Native Americans we wouldn't be here.

Why?
Why? That is the question everyone is asking after the US election shock of a lifetime. By now everyone knows Donald Trump won the presidency.
What we dont know is why did he win when it was projected to go to Hillary Clinton? Also why are people reacting to it with protests and violance?
Lets start out by examining how Donald Trump was able to win dispite polls saying otherwise. Polls had Hillary winning by a decent margin.
Trump has been in the media a long time. So has Hillary. So what makes Trump differant? Trump's media expierience (unlike Hillarys) is in "reality TV". As such, he plaid the press for all it's worth.
Trump was constantly saying controvercial things, such as the "wall". Every time he said something controvercial it got him in the news. The more he was in the news the more unpaid exposure he had.
Trump was also diferant in the sense that he was not connected to anything in Washington DC other then his newly built Hotel. He doesn't have a political past so to speak.
Hate and discontent with our current people in power, drove people to vote against Clinton who was esentualy a Washington insider.
He also plaid to the people who felt that they were being left out. IE: white males from the south. His spinning hate for mexicans coming across our boarder illegally was one big reason people voted for him. Same goes for muslim terrorists.
Now to why people are so emotional about it. As a journalist we have to rely on sticking to the facts of a story and not to get emotionaly involved. Yet, somehow when the story broke, even I was and still am emotional about it.
I think the main reason people have become so emotional over this election vs previous elections, is the fact that the results just were not expected. Polls had Hillary winning by a fairly large margain. In addition, all the controvercial things he said and did just didn't make sense to elect someone like that.
What is done is done. Donald Trump is our President Elect. That fact will not change. One thing I perticurly noticed is his change in attitude and demeaner after the election. He seemed to act more presidential and more open.
Time will tell what will happen during his time in office. But, we have to continue our daily lives and continue to fight for whats right.

Election that shocked the world
11/8/2016 is a date that will forever live in infamy for the US and the world. It is the day that America elected the 45th president.
TV commentators spent most the night going from state to state with their projections. All this after six months of the most dramatic campain in history.
It all started out six months ago with sixteen Republican candidates and two Democrats. It soon became clear who either parties nomanee would be.
With the Republican convention in June, came a fight between party members. Ultamently the Republicans nominated Danald Trump as their presidential candidate.
It wasn't just the candidate himself that took spotlight at the RNC convention, but his wife who was critisised for plagerising Machelle Obamas speach.
On the Democrat side, their convention was a battle between Bernie Sanders supporters and the DNC. There was even protests.
The big news to come out of the Democratic convention was when The father of a muslil US Army veteran spoke. He spoke of how his son died for America. Ultamently Hillary Clinton was nominated as the Democrat nomanee.
Over the past five months, you couldn't turn on the TV or go online without seeing something about Trump or Clinton. In the world of 24 hour news, you had commentators who were constantly guessing as to what would happen.
None of the commentators could predict what happened. It was a very late night, but in the end it was projected that Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton 288 electorial collage votes to 240. Only 270 is needed to win.
In the aftermath of the results, global stock markets have shot to lower then average numbers. There is even riots reported in several states including California.
People will be trying to figure out what happend for weeks and even years to come. It is not the news medias job to speculate, only to report on facts of events. But yet still it is a big shock to everyone including the news media.
