Episode 1407: HenricK The WrecK

HenricK The WrecK joins Just Talking to discuss Rage Quit a new video game podcast talk show hosted by Chris Collins and our video game contributor, HenricK The Wreck. A good game gives you chills of excitement when you play but a kick ass game can terrorize you to the core, what game terrorizes you? What’s the cruelest thing you can do to a kid gamer? Take their game system away for poor grades, time out punishment for not doing chores, how about your parents yanking the cord during a boss fight! Game rage meltdown; what game has driven you to the point smashing your controller? Hooked on gaming; a gamers first system is their true love. Henrick started his love affair with the Nintendo 64 and it’s been a match made in heaven since. When Kid Icarus shot a game pad arrow into your hands, what was your first game system love? Top 3 favorite games of all time; was it the storyline, combat and action or the challenge — kiss my ass Galaga, you cheating bastard! Can millennials all admit their first driving lesson was either Grand Theft Auto or Mario Kart. This absolutely explains Marissa’s driving style! Calling out all the future professional gamers, the Olympics will have Esports competitions in the future; so we’re just playing Wii Sports on a big ass screen in the middle of a stadium now? Can The Last Of Us tv show be enough to save the tarnished reputation of bad video game adaptations? We’re looking at you Halo tv series but TLOU is starting to go down that familiar Walking Dead rabbit hole and it’s only episode 7; for now, let’s reserve the rage spores until the last episode. Do all video games work in the cinematic universe? Bloom House and Atomic Monster are working on film adaption of the video game Dead By Daylight, a multiplayer action survival horror game where you get to play as famous iconic movie, tv, novel and video game killers like Halloween’s Michael Myers, Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Kruger and Resident Evil’s Nemesis. We’re excited to see where this goes but didn’t Dark Castle Entertainment try this before, remember 13 Ghosts? Well, virtual reality doesn’t matter anyway, I’m back in the Matrix. Chat GPT Artificial Intelligence is being shoved into video games to make them emotive and impactful. Did you hear that voice over artists, an AI says you can’t voice act.

450,000 HealthCare Workers Worldwide Are Infected With COVID-19 As Schools Re-Open, Report Says

450,000 Health-Care Workers Worldwide Are Infected With COVID-19 As Schools Re-Open, Report Says

The International Nursing Federation reported on Wednesday that more than 6.4 million cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed, including at least 381,000 deaths. 

In an article from The Washington Post titled: CORONAVIRUS HAS INFECTED AT LEAST 450,000 HEALTH-CARE WORKERS WORLDWIDE, REPORT SAYS.

Last Wednesday in a phone interview with CNN – Dr. Anthony Fauci advocates for schools to reopen in the Fall because children tend to have milder symptoms or even no symptoms when they are infected with COVID-19. 

Last month – Dr. Anthony Fauci had a VERY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TONE when it came to reopening schools arguing with Senator Rand Paul at Senate Committee Hearing in May:  

I think the one size fits all that we’re gonna have a national strategy and nobody’s gonna go to school is kind of ridiculous. We really ought to be doing it by school district to school district. And as much as I respect you Dr. Fauci – I don’t think you’re the end-all. I don’t think that you’re the one person that gets to make all the decisions. I have never made myself as the end-all and only voice in this. I’m a scientist, a physician, and a public health official. I give advice according to the best scientific evidence  

I don’t understand WHY Dr. Fauci NOW advocates for opening schools early based on “best scientific evidence” — that children are affected less than adults. 

Does he not realize that teachers, professors, administrators and custodians all work on the same campus?! 

When will the government and the health experts get their act together and give it to us straight?! With a unified voice! 

Should High School Graduates Take A College Gap Year?

Should High School Graduates Take College A Gap Year?

In the coming weeks – more than 2 million high school seniors who had their sights set on College for the Fall will navigate a decision — NO graduation class has ever had to consider. 

Universities across the nation are considering a range of contingency plans to combat the Coronavirus as campuses transition to online courses for the new school year. 

AND—as I stated last week for college students studying at home amid COVID-19 – like ME – college isn’t what it used to be. 

However – it costs just the same! 

As on-campus experiences are being replaced with online courses – it's complete bullshit for universities to charge students FULL TUITION without the full experience! 

Why should families pay full price for a semester that might be cut short –AGAIN!? 

Studies conducted by the Gap Year Association show that among students who defer their college admission to take a gap year have a 90% return rate within a year. 

Also – students that take a Gap Year are more likely than their peers to graduate on time—AND with better grades! 

Cal State Fullerton, Stanford and Boston University have openly disclosed the possibility of canceling in person classes until 2021. 

If Michael Jordan can take a GAP YEAR from Basketball to focus on himself — YOU CAN TOO!
