  1. History proves that all geographic regions have days of being dominated by the outsider. Sometimes it is lethal. Most times it is merely modulating. At the end of the day, the history of scrambles by outsiders of Africa to the African continent are lessons to the people in Africa. They are learning and one day, they will see how to be free together in their own way, whether if greedy or sharing or knowledgable or crude.

  3. I thought of a simple premise. Keith David James Earl Jones Morgan Freeman are three kings in a fantasy world, having a meeting they all agree to on equal terms, no tricks involved or surprise attacks. Each has a great deep voice. In one word, name how you want each king to talk. The reason for the meeting is not divulged. So for example: Keith David- vicious ; James Earl Jones- bemused ; Morgan Freeman - proselytic GO ! lets have fun RMAFliterature

  9. If I was the CEO of Discovery I will shut down all the activities of Warner Bros media that isn't making money and put up bids for temporary licensing of the horde of media properties, forcing them to be displayed on Discovery channel media outlets. If you were a board member, do you agree with me? What if you are the CEO of Discovery? I explain in detail my thoughts below.
  10. I remember when American Telephone and Telegraph sold Warner Bros media to Discovery channel. To me the big points were what? AT&T was able to offload hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, from Warner Bros, off themselves to Discovery Channel. Discovery Channel was able to buy a horde of media properties on the cheap. The head of Discovery channel, who became the head of the merged firm between discovery channel side warner media, said on DAY ONE, day one! The days of high expenditures are over, and downscaling was going to occur. I recall this very well. Which is why the responses in the tweet stream below, show the ignorance of USA based e-citizens. All this was inevitable. What people have to comprehend about Movies/Music/Video games/ any entertainment zone is high cost production is always very expensive or very unwise. Frank L Baum went bankrupt wtith various investments including making his own Oz movies. Nintendo didn't try to mirror Sony or Microsoft cause over time who has money for high end systems. Beinsports stayed a free service with commercials cause you can only make money with paid subscription streaming by adding users, which assumes potential users will grow. Beyonce this year has presented her latest album in the common way, not in her more eccentric methods in recent years. What do all of these actions have in common? Making high production cost media is not financially wise, long term. Those who try it, trip up or go bankrupt. AT&T essentially sold a bakrupt media firm to a smaller media firm willing to take the bankrupt media firms debt. Yes, the entire banking system in the USA went bankrupt and they were saved. But the parameters for that is unique. The banks have knowledge of various activities, have anchored various financial interchanges with their survival. It doesn't mean they are too big to fail, they were not and are not. But, letting them fail will cause huge financial storms which will take time to settle. MEdia firms are not the same. AT&T was tired of spending hundreds of millions and didn't want billions of debt to be attached to them, as they are making huge profits in other sectors. AT&T is big enough to have a huge line of credit, but AT&T realized this is folly. Discovery channel had to cancel all these projects. We all know why? PAramount already did similar. Disney is very fortunate. They own the best set of properties and have presented them well enough in a timely fashion to afford heavy expenditures. But, most media firms have to scale down high production cost ventures. The question is: will fans online , most humans are not online, be able to accept lower production cost content? The media reply seems to suggest they will not, as I expected as well. In the video game world, the quantity of video game players who talk about the visuals over gameplay is beyond count. Even though most video game players can only afford lower budget. TWEET https://twitter.com/search?q=%23WarnerBrosDiscovery&src=trend_click&vertical=trends The title of this post is a question How will Warner Bros media video games survive? The answer is simple, Discovery is downsizing. They are cutting down high production cost activity. I think Discovery will be best if they do like MArvel and sell rights of DC products to be used in various media. Discovery has hundreds of millions of dollars of debt. If I was the CEO of Discovery and I accepted the AT&T deal. I would had killed all the projects in Warner Bros immediately, and put bids out for the huge quantity of media properties , forcing their presentations to be on discovery channel media properties. It is like I say with many things in terms of fiscal capitalism. Stop the debt, stop the gambling, stop the games, act extremely and then reset the standards as quickly as possible. It is rougher to do at first, but wiser long term.

  13. There is so much to say, I already said. But, this marijuana scenario in the United States of America is a great teacher to many things. I admit it makes me very angry to so many things. Well if you live in the NY State, consider the following link for some information.

  18. I admit, the following youtuber, I follow for sword/weapon information and design. He is informative. But when I realized he had a set of videos specifically on games, I feel they are discussion starters. rpg character classes are stupid- his reasoning is that character class restrictions turn the fantasy into tomfoolery. Why can't a wizard pick up a sword? His proof is whenever a game has added character classes later, the developers are admitting the original character class set is dysfunctional rpg levels are stupid- his reasoning is that the ability of a player to reach the unkillable level deletes the reality any player should have. I will call it the sword art online god power. dragon's dogma best rpg ever- the ability to manipulate the personal characters plus the pawn system free's up the personal touches to the game. what divinity sin 2 tactical rpg did right- has all that baldur's gate, but has all modern features of a tactical rpg why fantasy dungeons are stupid- great for gameplay but bad for the purposes of the main boss who couldn't get out except how the heroes get to them, or the heroes who can't use the big bosses back door until they defeat the big boss or the mini bad characters who are always bottlenecked in the vault of their boss. master sword of link- he made models for each blade, which one do you like
  19. You are the lead producer years ago on the Black panther 2 movie project for Disney. Chadwick Boseman's spirit flew. Actors/Set designers/the lead director you hired are set. This is the first preproduction meeting. You start off with the question, will we recast tchalla or continue the Black PAnther as another character? What say you producer?

  21. The following is the situation I want you to consider yourself in before you answer the question. You are a financially successful author already. Now... what are your thoughts on interpretations to your work? In my mind, based on many examples, not merely the one in the link below, it is clear that an author like me, needs to mandate titles of works have" inspired by" or "based on" not any direct labeling to me. your thoughts? my expanded thoughts https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1997&type=status
