In 2056 Post Work Enlightenment (Tribes) | In 20xx Sci fi and Futurism by In 20xx Futurism Amidst this perpetual twilight, new forms of societal organization begin to emerge. Cindy, waking one morning, discovers an invitation to "Open Floor," a virtual space for direct democracy where citizens can vote on issues day and night. Stepping into this digital forum, she finds herself in a shifting circle of avatars, some representing real people, others AI syntheses of ongoing conversations. Debates on constitutions, crime, and surveillance unfold, raising questions about AI governance and the very nature of truth in a world increasingly mediated by technology. Beyond the digital commons, life in the underground colony thrums with a mixture of innovation and unease. News reports speak of geothermal power plants and advanced home care kits, but also of suicides, overcrowded hospitals, and violent disputes over communal spaces. Misty, a key figure, navigates the complexities of this new world, from inspecting hyper-insulated facilities housing powerful AI to discussing the controversial policy of mandatory schooling with emulated personalities. Personal lives, like Cindy's, are also in flux, with new relationships forming even as old anxieties and suspicions begin to surface.

Movie Syndrome’s Film of The Hour” London Fields “DIRECTOR’S CUT.” 2019

The only time to watch and review The Director's Cut of London fields is now: within a human species post-crisis, so novel to that species that there is no occurrence leave alone a record. Its the only time that London Fields makes more than just sense, total sense. It is now our new potential mirror and or X-ray machine for our so called"New Normal." It can be London but it can be any city, town, enclave of human dissonance.

As a child I went to the school of life though films presented by the great Alex Cox, on his Moviedrome show, I was introduced to precursors to the coming influx of Neo-90's Noir. Narratives that coiled around its characters with the love of hungry anacondas; stories from the shrades of the social human fringe; men and women alike gleefully hapless or broken, souls just seeking to steal their inevitabilities from fate and make it their own - as if that some how made thier doom bearable. Films where pale shadows crowded the celluloid frame even they were alone they were just paler than the crowd.

London fields so reminds me of this vein of filmmaking. In Neo-90's noir people were incapable of making anyone happy, not even themselves, or anyone else, they either new it and would violently seek irony, or just detraction, or simply some air of self-appointed cleverness about their failures: their philosophy the wisdom of one's own doom is better than the ignorance of it (as if that helps).

It was a joy to feel like a kid watching films I shouldn't be watching, with the sound turned down low, so parents in bed don't wake, listening to an intro by the great Alex Cox, and the prototypes of the coming 90's noir. This is what it felt like watching London Fields.

The first shot had dance in its guts, the first sign of a good director, making sure the audience know s/he cares. I was reassured and sat back in comfort knowing I don't have to be anxious. Few films know how to utilize stock footage, or some films over use it, some just don't respect it, we may see more of it since the big plague of 2020 hit planet earth. The now infamous "C" word hit just 4 months after I saw it in 2019 on the eve of the UK election that would decide the fate of thousands literally and of the new London that I am now living through. This is why London Fields Directors cut must be watched post-global pandemic, post London post human incubation, post human global coma, wake up and watch it!

The true value of London Fields is in its ability to be relevant externally, not just internally, it will be talked about for decades as the greatest film-restructuring/ turnaround since George Miller saved Mad Max 4 from september 11th. As long as London is here with a new normal that a film and book called London Fields possibly predictive like Nostradamus "pre" and mid plague predictions. Like Daniel's predictions of the fourth beast, that is a president of the free world advising people to drink bleach as it cures plague like some victorian charlatan-witch-doctor.

Talking of victorian London look out for a wonderful Fagan meets Sid-Vicious like surprise, it will remain a surprise as I will not spoil it , you will have to watch it. Remember the advent of dvd extras where the story behind the story became King and queen, well here is your story behind the story of London Fields the coiling fluid labyrinth that this director's cut had to circumvent and master at the same time, is in itself a book, a film maybe a trilogy. It then becomes a matrix for the films ability to gracefully scream with silent pain, palpable in its starving human waifs, the population of jagged grizzled shadows of an old world, just like a pre-covid London.

My story:

- I waited 5 years to watch the director's cut, as I knew this would be the film to watch, I know from day zero, that this would be the definite splice, I am glad I waited, but i had no other option. More importantly I am glad I waited to be one of the fortunate survivors of the real London apocalypse to be able to write a review worthy of note.

Filming locations:

During the pandemic I walked around the many locations that London Fields filmed in, like Brixton where I grew up, and I went to bulk buy food, part of my post apocalyptic preppers protocol. I'm a prepper by nature so I had bought my ffp3 mask months before. I actually gave a health and safety threat and risk consultation to a filmmaker heading to Ebola hit Lagos, I said "Make sure you have 3 meters on everyone and every surface so only the soles of your shoes need chlorine (the only chem that degrades DNA) I didn't call it social distancing I called it don't get Ebola. Here we are fortunate it was not Ebola that hit world and London Fields. I bought food in bulk buying is very different from panic buying, but I can't judge london is pretty but pretty tough to live in.

London Fields Anatomy: + Matrix: When I say The Matrix of London fields I speak about the meta-mould, London is the ideal place to film an apocalypse, London was once the capital of the world since Britannia once owned most of the world. Location location location is everything. +Concept: You can have a concept of any thing a concept of concept itself , a concept of the idea of a principal. Why not start with the concept of human nature, give our nature enough rope and we will hang ourselves and each everyone else in the room , but why is the nicely investigated by Bill Bob Thornton's character. This rope reaches the macro space to the micro of all the individual characters. + Basis: I have a feeling much like the basis for the characters in "Withnail and I" the writer Ames, the author of the book, he has based these characters on the transients that peppered his life in London. + Grounds: There are sub-cultures of ravaged souls who make the characters even in the book look pale in comparison - art always mimics life not the other way round.

+Criteria: The criteria is to capture a credible cinematic vignette of a very wild book + Responsibility: There is an integrity of context well policed diegetically and in the non diegetic space. The director is now renowned for policing this context which was under threat when islamic content (there's that other "C" word) was misaligned with pornography to create a pornography, the legal battle that ensued was only fueled by this particular mismanagement of content with no context.

+ |Sense of place "This is London" London is hit by hyperinflation, social controls, shortages, poverty, mass unemployment, Social Unrest,divisions, divergency of schisms, social branching in to pockets of gang pods.

+Pattern of capacity: is potent disconcerting X-ray machine to the lower digestive system, beyond the ice-tipped persona of innocence, the bystander, observer, storyteller. It peels back the plasters wrapped around the slick wounds, and it does it finger by finger of London's inner ducts, where its appendix once was.

The shadows of a cosmopolitan gas chamber known as London slither and preen the boiling social swampy waves seeking their nothings in what they see as somethings', goals that are obvious traps or not so obvious. They leave patterns of psycho-splatter across the corridors of doom-drowned doors with no one able to reach their goals and no one capable of making each other happy but, even though deep down they know it, they still pursue against instinct better judgment. They have to, as if they don't we would not have any drama.

This is Kitch satire the likes of which spilled out of neo-grungy scenes of the 90's neo noir, but its interesting to see this in a London steamy punky setting, rather than Hollywoodland. Highlights of the film is an interesting crossing of the 180 degree line, which is always a tricky area.

In London Fields the human ice-berg is built almost entirely out of constellations of man and woman's failure points, we are left with the question simply what will drive us, what will keep us going after the discovery of these failure points.

I: Inspiration by the challenge to put a x-ray, a mirror in front of the face of London as a gateway to the face of the wider world W: WHy do this film? Well every couple of years in intervals where London is begging for this mirror so lets provide it. V: The vision was to engineer an exposing investigation of the ghosts of London all the way to their souls and their soul-engines. M: Mission was to find the cast and support structure to manifest this vision S-T: The strategy to tactical synergy was to turn the motion of this story in to an serendipitous dance off the page of the book on to the cinema screen. Vision: To make a respectable cool potently socially vital potency vignette that a 2 hour film cna do for the many pages of a book Strategy: To go in with fervent dedication leveraging years of mastering skill of marrying music and image, and an industry that forces the discipline of story. B: Diegetic: Why do these characters do what they do, human beings have drives from baseline to top line drives, these drives are constantly hungry, convergent and divergent simultaneously. where do we put drives, what do we do with them, where will they go The characters with doomed naive seek happy endings for their drives, in doing so misd judge everyone. The souls here are using chess strategies to leverage their needs and clear the road of others in their path creating an emotionally psychologically all-in-ring wrestling match everyone eliminating each other. - Agility: The agility is not just in the films dynamic rehabilitative turnaround but agility in characterisation of the most hyper-wild surreal characters in a book nicely done by Jim Sturgess fagan meets sid vicious sex-pistols. And Johnny Depps Cockney-Rockabilly predator. 5.- kudoi: The Synecdoche: Here is with the director has managed to perform if not one of but maybe the most important Innovation Turnaround in the history of cinema. This could be the making of a new career. It is a career I went into recently I have performed it on other films myself but never had to do it on my own. 6.- Innovation: The director holds the mantle on the most strategic siege-craft innovation since those valiant thanes of the 5th century, took the gabled hall to siege in King Fin's realm of friesland; that young King of Denmark Heanerf with with 60 retainers went to visit his sister, recently married in peace weaving in Frankish lands, and for reasons yet to be disclosed to us, is put to seige in a gabled hall. It is an example in history where siegecraft worked. Matthew Cullen would have had to must some ancient type of lock-jaw dedication to pursue a siege craft of 5 years. with an army of producers, investors and compounding resistance. 7.- leadership side: The leadership it requires to execute a turnaround on a business is Herculean. There are 5 stages to a turnaround 0. People 1. Runaway - Leverage Cash runnaw 2. Technical engineering 3. Value chain strategy: add value - take away value - modify underlying value 4. Finalizing product market fit and fitness to execute a cut 5. New Campaign 6. Re-delivery. Just like in the film the characters all see themselves as leaders but they are ultimately proxy-puppets of a greater chess game. 8.- assertiveness: The director asserts with a five year kung-fu grip to show that the little voice in the milestone of a crocodile culture of producers, investors and meta-investors that the little voice can shout the loudest when it counts. It can do this when it is important, when our voice must protect the unicorns gallop and leave our creativity factory, we must do this so they don;t fall down the cracks. In the film we see actors forging their stamps on their portrayals, of characters seertingthier desperations on each other's visions of happiness. 9.- Resonance of Messaging:brand Matthews Brand is potent authenticity of creativity this resonates in his film-turnaround and in the realignment of creative assets in,most in the alignments 10.

Where to find 10 golden balloons fortnite

Fortnite Battle Royale Update News, Patch Notes And Far more

Our generator is the best one for winning absolutely free v-bucks. I rate the game four stars simply because there is so a great deal bugs. I was in a solo match, and it was a 1v1 against me and someone else. I saw them, but I glitched and it looked like the other player had no physique! I do not know if it was a glitch or a hacker. And also, I attempted to contact Epic Games on my laptop or computer. I was playing, and it glitched. It brought me back to the lobby and it said I was cheating. I wasn't, I was just peacefully finding supplies http://jktpro.com for battle. I hope I could 1 day get to play on my pc once more. And, I like how they add new and special skins in every single season. Just about every battlepass skin matches with the season. I really like that they added unique platforms, so that persons are capable to play Fortnite wherever. But general, I think fortnite is an remarkable and entertaining game that men and women can love by themselves or with good friends. It is also a excellent game and it really is enjoyable to play on various platforms.

If you do own a gaming Pc with additional sophisticated features and hardware, the encouraged processor is an Intel Core i5 to make certain the game can run smoothly. You need to have a graphics card in the type of either a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or an AMD Radeon HD 7870 to show off the complete graphical capabilities of the game. With these requirements or larger, your Computer should really have completely no dilemma rendering in the well-known map with all its assets and player models. A significant portion of the gameplay mechanics in Fortnite is that the map gets smaller and closes in on a randomly generated point as the game goes on. This indicates the game doesn't have to load and course of action as several things as it goes on (supplied you're excellent sufficient to get this far!) generating the game run smoothly. Moreover, this game has no AI in its key game mode â€˜Battle Royale' which, in turn, does not put as significantly tension on the CPU.

Even if there has been a decrease there are nonetheless hundreds of millions of registered accounts and tens of millions of actives players. Games as big as Fortnite do not disappear over night. Fortnite Season 10 will be interesting as effectively as it is added some of the biggest adjustments to the game yet with new Fortnite Missions replacing the long standing Battle Pass challenges. Will these changes draw in player's or push them away? Only time will inform, so for now read up on all the things we know about how quite a few people today play Fortnite.

The Battle Royale Collection is a line of authentic Fortnite figures, vehicles and playsets that will grow to a Royale-sized roster of one hundred characters in 2019. Just about every exciting poseable figure contains swappable weapons, accessories, and back bling. Epic has announced that Fortnite Season 7 will begin on December 6, 2018. Though information about the forthcoming season are scarce, we know that the business is planning to transform the map into a winter wonderland for the holiday season. You'll see tons of snow, and probably some holiday decorations to get you into the spirit.

Like other battle royale games, Fortnite Battle Royale is a competitive shooter among 100 players as they air-drop out of a moving plane (or battle busâ€, in this case), then fight to survive as the play space gradually shrinks to force men and women into combat. True to the battle royale formula, you want to find all of your weapons and gear on the map â€” you don't land with anything other than a pickaxe.

If you have any contact with a kid over age eight, I am confident you have heard of Fortnite. If not, simply say that word about a kid and you will get a reaction. Particularly boys. It is the most current and greatest in the App Store, Xbox, Switch, gaming craze. How do I know this? Properly, I reside with two boys and we have had our personal personal Fortnite adventure more than the past several months.

A legitimate query is how can this web page actually exist and how does this web-site truly perform? Apparently, the developer of the Fortnite resource generator has extended been a player in the game, and by dissatisfaction with the Skins spend model, he has decided to discover a remedy. The methods under are all the (and only) ways that you can get cost-free V-bucks in Fortnite.

Fortnite, designed by Tim Sweeney and released via EPIC Games Inc., is a absolutely free-to-play video game set in a post-apocalyptic, zombie-infested planet. By any measure, it has been a enormous success. The game's format is not specifically out of left field, given that the sector is currently ripe with these kind of 'shooter' games, but it did launch as an underdog with muted prospects. There are variations to the totally free to play business model, but everyone can play a fully functional game at no cost.

At launch, matches all take place on 1 map with a 60 player cap, compared to Fortnite's one hundred. The developer has commented that they strategy on expanding the player cap in the future. The most effective factors in life are free, and that goes doubly for free dollars. In this case, cost-free funds is Fortnite 's V-Bucks. The best bet is to use Free the V-Bucks and this Google Spreadsheet to figure out the very best approaches to get no cost V-Bucks using Fortnite Save the World.

If youve noticed an present promising fortnite. By employing free v bucks you can unlock new cosmetic skins for your glider choose axe and outfits. This web site is for everybody who loves to play fortnite or is eager to join the bandwagon sometime soon. Along with it is a new Fortnite Battle Pass as a gateway to new Season 10 skins - supplied you then place in the time and effort to then unlock them, of course.

The monetization happens when the player wants these additions, dubbed "costumes" and "skins," which they have to purchase. Combine this with a one of a kind function named "Battle Pass", which costs $ten for a quarterly subscription, and V-bucksâ€ and you have the ingredients that propelled Fortnite into a multi-million dollar a day phenomenon. Bear in mind that 1 can continue to play Fortnite for totally free, but, invariably, a vast majority of the players really feel compelled to spend for the ancillary goods that generate vast amounts of revenue for Epic Games.

Save the Globe throws products at you, to the point where it's sort of annoying to sit through the animations, honestly, so finding to these ambitions isn't difficult. I did not especially place any effort into leveling my book up, and I was able to grab the 1,000 V-Bucks almost as an afterthought. Assisting other players with Storm Shield Defense using the "Play with other individuals" section on the map. Stonewood is for beginning-sort players, though Twine Peaks is for the much more experienced. These all reward one hundred V-Bucks every single.

Welcome to Part 4 of my “First Steps” project which focuses on restrictions, guidance, and freedom in the initial moments of open world games. You may find it helpful to visit Part 1 for an introduction to the project and an overview of my line of inquiry. In the weeks to come, I’ll also be playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Grand Theft Auto V. In previous weeks I wrote about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Horizon Zero Dawn.

I hope you enjoy my observations and brief reflections on the opening of Fallout 4!

Fallout 4 — Developed by Bethesda Game Studios, Nov. 10, 2015

Played on PlayStation 4

Time played: 1 hour, 4 minutes

Spoiler Warning: While I avoid major spoilers for the games discussed as part of this project, know that minor spoilers may lie ahead. Discussion of each game’s plot/narrative elements does not exceed the first 2 1/2 hours of play.

Observations & Reflections:

Fallout 4 begins with a cutscene that establishes a bit of a history for the world players will encounter (“war never changes” and all that jazz). After the scene ends, players are left staring into a mirror to begin personalizing an avatar. For the sake of timeliness with this project, I chose the default avatar.

Once I had selected myself, I was free to explore my family’s home. I poked into each of the rooms—the master bedroom, the utility room, Shaun’s bedroom, and the kitchen/living space—and interacted with my wife and Codsworth before a knock at the door required my attention. Being confined to this space allowed me to interact with objects, learn a little about myself and my family, and get used to the mechanics of moving around and interacting with objects.

At the door was a Vault-Tec salesman. This brief exchange served as a narrative element as well as an introduction to the dialogue and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. systems.

After closing the door on the rep, a disturbing story broke on the news of bombs dropping on the East coast. An alarm sounded, and my family rushed outside to evacuate to a vault that would provide safety. This is when I began to explore the surrounding area. My family’s home rested in a neighborhood with similar looking houses in a culdesac. Instead of following my wife and my panicked neighbors down the road, I broke away toward the dead-end. The entire neighborhood in this direction was blocked off from the woods beyond by fences and hedges—there was no way out.

The houses along here could not be entered, and the area was clearly designed to designate players in the direction of the vault. I went back toward my wife who was faithfully waiting for me to proceed. We then followed the direction of a man in uniform beckoning for us. Speaking of which, there were several characters ready to point me in the right direction. Rather convenient.

Moving toward the vault provided me with yet another opportunity to push against the game’s direction. Near the street a soldier was motioning for people to take the path that led across a bridge and up a hill. I followed my wife on this path but broke away before crossing the bridge. My deviance from the path was punished as my poor avatar died from the nuclear blast and was sent back to the last autosave. I tested this twice to see if this was an issue of time or boundary since during the first attempt I had spent much of my time slowly exploring the neighborhood. On my second run, I followed my wife immediately, never leaving her until the bridge where I again diverged from the path. Again, I was met with sudden and nuclear death. This, of course, makes narrative sense as the threat of a nuclear blast should require some urgency.

Back on the path, there was no mistaking where I was meant to go. Another soldier motioned up the hill, and a billboard loomed at the entrance of a fenced in area where more than a dozen of my neighbors were standing, waiting to get in. My family was immediately allowed to pass through the gate. A Vault-Tec employee guided us up to the vault where more people were standing. It was then that a nuke dropped, and we were lowered to the safety of the vault.

Luckily, my family was safe. We were quickly ushered further into the vault, guided by a doctor, and directed into some cryogenic chambers. After a cutscene played, I was again awake, but this time a desolate vault awaited me. At this point, I was given relative freedom to roam the vault while a green icon appeared on screen to denote the next objective. I read files and reports from terminals, picked up a weapon, and fought giant cockroaches on my way to picking up a Pip-Boy and leaving the vault. Just like my family’s home and the neighborhood outside, I was restricted to the immediate environment and could only explore so far. The vault provided some background for Vault-Tec and their intentions for the vault. It also set the tone for the game—some of the cryochambers contained dead occupants, certain chambers were trashed, stations were abandoned, and several skeletons reminded me that I was a survivor in a broken world. I was met with similar restrictions and sights outside the vault.

The world above ground bore the scars of the blast, and the neighborhood below was hardly recognizable with its state of decay. What interested me about the immediate area around the vault was that a fence surrounded the top of the hill, but there was a predominant opening where the neighborhood was visible. Of course the gateway I had passed through on my way to the vault earlier was still accessible. It seems the stretch of absent fencing looking over the neighborhood was intentional so as to encourage players to head in that direction whether they took the same path down from the vault or not.

I continued with my rebellion against the game’s subtle hints by passing through the fence and marking a location on the map south of my old home. The map served as further reminder of where I was meant to go. The solid green marker to the right of the gear above indicates the neighborhood and subsequently my home. To my surprise, I was allowed to travel away from the neighborhood unhindered. That is until I ran into a raider and a pack of wild mongrels and died.

Before this unfortunate encounter, I spoke with a trader and stole a silver pocket watch (I passed up the Wonderglue). The freedom granted once exiting the vault makes me wonder just how far players can go, narratively, before returning to the neighborhood. Would other quests become available to players? Could players bypass Sanctuary entirely? Sadly, I didn’t have the time to explore this further.

Upon revival from the mongrel incident, I again left the vault and followed the path down the hill, across the bridge, and into the neighborhood. I gained XP from discovering the location, an indication I had in fact arrived exactly where I was meant to be. I then ran into Codsworth in front of a dilapidated home and received more contextual information (how much time had passed and the like). After our conversation was finished, I received an objective to search the neighborhood with my old friend. This activity allowed me to practice my exploration, looting, and combat skills and was easily completed. I was then directed to seek out Concord.

If players followed all of the game’s initial cues, they would find leaving Sanctuary as the point where the game opens. However, Fallout 4 isn’t done with its guidance at this point, but players should have enough working knowledge to attempt survival in the post-apocalyptic world. A new companion is introduced shortly after at the Red Rocket, which stands rather prominently next to the road, along with more narrative elements in Concord.

While the game has spatial limits in the beginning, freedom to explore and direct one’s path can be achieved within an hour of playing. The limitations in place did not seem suffocating to me as I played and, in fact, seemed rather fair for a game I knew would eventually offer a wide open world experience. The guidance was welcome and helped to expedite the tutorial elements. And similar to other open world games, the map became available early on to supply further direction. Overall, the design of Fallout 4‘s opening hours ensures that players will begin to shape their own narrative within an hour or so of play.

Thank you for reading! Next time I’ll be discussing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

First Steps: Freedom in the Open World (Part 5) Welcome to Part 4 of my "First Steps" project which focuses on restrictions, guidance, and freedom in the initial moments of open world games.
