Lee Sang-eon The author is an editorial writer at the JoongAng Ilbo. The storming of the Bastille as taught in world history class can be an example of misrepresented history. Many people would regard the attack by Parisians on the old fortress used as a state prison just as a symbol of revolutionary struggle, or the flashpoint of the French Revolution to end the corrupt monarchy. The Bastille indeed represented royal authority in the center of Paris. But at the time of the storming on July 14, 1789, the prison had just seven inmates. According to “French Revolution” by Professor Joo Myung-chul, the seven inmates included Auguste-Claude Tavenier who had tried to assassinate Louis XV; a lunatic nobleman imprisoned at the request of his family; and an aristocrat accused of murder in addition to four forgers. The insurgents had not invaded the prison to release the prisoners, but to steal ammunition stocked in the prison. After occupying several military bases in Paris, the … [Read more...] about Giving a medal of honor to opponents

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Marvel Snap just had a patch last night that changed how you can acquire new cards. There is a new currency called Collector’s Tokens, where you will earn it over time and be able to save for Tier 3, 4 and 5 cards which rotate through the shop every few hours. If you can’t afford one when you see it, you can pin it until you have saved up enough. The new Tier 4 and 5 cards are way more expensive, 3,000 and 6,000 respectively, and most of those cards are too new to really understand how they’ll work in the meta. So I going to stick with advice on 1,000 cost Tier 3 cards instead. You may have gotten some of these naturally, but here are ten I think are worth buying: Sera – 5/4, Ongoing: Cards in your hand cost 1 less (minimum 1) – A monster for big plays on turn 6. Just got nerfed but still strong. Wong – 4/2, Ongoing: Your On Reveal abilities at this location happen twice – Creating some wild scenarios with loads … [Read more...] about The Best ‘Marvel Snap’ Pool 3 Cards To Buy With Collector’s Tokens

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin While it seemed clear that Wednesday was performing well for Netflix, #1 in nearly all countries and invading everywhere from Twitter to Tik Tok with memes and fancams inspired by the show, now we have the data. And Wednesday just broke a pretty big record for Netflix, which should all but secure a season 2, if not a few more past that. Netflix reports that Wednesday just broke its record for the most-viewed English-language show in a week with 341.23 million hours viewed. Somehow, that managed to pass up Stranger Things season 4, a well-documented monster, which had 335 million hours viewed, based on the back of years of fanbase-building and the fact that it was its best season yet. Of course, there is one show that simply cannot be beaten, not by Stranger Things , not be Wednesday, not by anyone. Squid Game , which holds the all-time weekly record with 571.8 million hours viewed, and it has the all-time … [Read more...] about ‘Wednesday’ Shatters Netflix Record, Making Season 2 A Sure Thing

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin For many, Willow has faded and been forgotten. The 1988 George Lucas-created, Ron Howard-directed epic fantasy film was a one-off success, but never reached the heights of Star Wars and never got a true sequel—though it spawned a fascinating trilogy of fantasy novels focused on Elora Danan by Chris Claremont and an old NES video game RPG modeled after Zelda. I enjoyed both of these immensely, though neither as much as the original film. For me, you have to understand, Willow never drifted into obscurity. I have seen the movie dozens of times and it’s one of those rare gems that I enjoy a little bit more with every viewing. I suppose that’s what true love is. Rather than grow tired of someone or something over the years, your love simply grows and expands and becomes a part of who you are. To me, Willow was even better than Star Wars, and maybe that’s also because it was so singular. It didn’t come with its own … [Read more...] about ‘Willow’ Review: A Fun Sequel Series With Some Bizarre Creative Choices

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It’s been nearly a month since Dallas Fuel lifted the 2022 Overwatch League championship trophy and yet many Overwatch 2 players are still waiting on the in-game rewards they earned by watching the Playoffs and Grand Finals. Blizzard has provided an update on the situation. MORE FROM FORBES The Overwatch League And YouTube Are Trying To Fix Play-Offs And Grand Finals Drops (Updated) By Kris Holt “Our teams have been working hard to resolve complications on several fronts and reconcile millions of records impacted by partner reporting issues,” the Overwatch League wrote in a tweet . “This is why many are still seeing inconsistencies in their rewards.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Having previewed a new Demon’s Souls figma back at Smile Fest in August, Good Smile Company has now opened pre-orders for the Fluted Armor figma , with its release scheduled for late next year. Like all figma’s this Demon’s Souls figure is full articulated and allows you to arrange it in a variety of poses. It also comes with a fair number of accessories, from the Broadsword and Kite Shield , to the rarer Knight Sword , Meat Cleaver , Dark Silver Shield , Iron Knuckle and the Large Sword of Moonligh t. The latter is very much the calling card of almost any FromSoftware game, with the Sword of Moonlight originating from the King’s Field series (the spiritual precursors to the Souls franchise) and famously used a great deal in the numerous Armored Core games. The Large Sword of Moonlight is also a very useful weapon in Demon’s Souls , as it ignores enemy shields entirely, which for a … [Read more...] about A Gorgeous ‘Demon’s Souls’ Figure Is Now Available For Pre-Order

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Following Wonder Festival 2022 Summer , Good Smile Company decided to do its own separate event dubbed Smile Fest 2022 Tokyo . From cute Nendoroids to massive mecha toys, it’s clear Good Smile Company is entering a new and bigger phase. For many, Nendoroids are the calling card for Good Smile Company. Cute little figures of various characters, Nendoroids have a big following all across the world. So this is something that Good Smile Company was openly celebrating. The real Nendoroid related highlight were the Hololive figures, with Korone-chan being my personal favorite. Not least because she is an ardent fan of Super Robot Wars and enjoys saying “ eekum bokum ”. In addition to the Nendoroids, the figma range is also very popular, and there were quite a few gaming related figures shown. From all the Souls related figmas to a new Guyver 1 and some rather nice looking entries for Metroid Dread … [Read more...] about Cuteness And Mecha Prevail At ‘Smile Fest 2022 Tokyo’

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Arguably one of the best entries in the Souls series was the first game, Demon’s Souls . Released back in 2009 it became the dream import game for middlecore hipsters, as the Asian release was fully localized in English and was region free. Now it has been remade for the PlayStation 5 and it’s finally come into its own. While I was somewhat late to the PlayStation 5 party, as I only got mine back in February, I pretty much took to the Demon’s Souls remake straight away. I played the original game a great deal on the PlayStation 3, so I was fascinated to see how the remake would be handled. For those interested, I have a long and storied history with From Software’s various games over the years. Having played and finished every Armored Core game to date , thrashed the various Another Century’s Episode games and rinsed the likes of Metal Wolf Chaos . In short, I am very familiar with what makes … [Read more...] about ‘Demon’s Souls’ Remake Review: No Longer Just A Game For Middlecore Hipsters
