- "Maybe you are psychic."

[laughter]

And I go, "I knew you were gonna say that."

And she goes, "Really?"

And I go, "No, I'm joking."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. You're brilliant."

[dark electronic music]

- Welcome to "This Is Not Happening."

I'm your host, Roy Wood Jr.

♪ ♪

Some say it only lasts 15 minutes.

Some people are gonna tell you it's a mythical creature

that lives at the bottom of a rainbow.

And some'll tell you not to overdo it.

[cheers and applause]

[roars in slow motion]

But if you ask me,

I say...

enjoy it while it lasts.

♪ ♪

[cheers and applause]

- You know this next person

from his TV Land show "Nobodies."

Michael McDonald, everyone!

[cheers and applause]

- They say that you should never meet your heroes,

because you will only be disappointed.

Um...I got an "amen" from the church back there.

[laughter]

I say go ahead and meet your heroes,

and perhaps they will disappoint you.

And if they do,

turn it into material

in a stand-up comedy show,

which is what I'm going to do tonight.

[cheers and applause]

So it was at the very beginning of my career.

I was flat broke.

I was performing all around town at, you know,

stand-up clubs, improv shows.

Like, I mean, I would have performed here.

But I was just desperate to get anything going.

I was doing a little improv show at the Groundlings...

- Yes. - And...

- Yep, amen, church, and...

I was doing an improv show at the Groundlings.

It went very well, and when I stepped offstage,

the stage manager was literally, like, vibrating,

she was so excited.

She was like, "Oh, my God, oh, my God,

Michael, come here, come here."

I was like, "What is it?" and she goes,

"Faye Dunaway was in the audience.

"Faye Dunaway saw your performance.

And Faye Dunaway wanted me to give you this."

And her hands were just shaking,

and I took a movie script from her hands.

And on it, it said, "MICHAEL, YOU ARE BRILLIANT."

All caps.

"CALL ME IMMEDIATELY. FAYE DUNAWAY."

I was like, oh, my God!

And you guys all know Faye Dunaway, right?

She's in Oscar winner, legend.

I was so excited that, like, I couldn't wait to call her.

And I flew to the Valley to my phone,

'cause we didn't have cell phones,

and I called her up.

And the way she answered the phone was very formal.

She said, "Hello, this is Faye Dunaway."

[laughter]

And it was just like she was in her movies.

You know, like, everything was serious and dire.

And I was intimidated but excited, and I said,

"Ms. Dunaway, I'm Michael McDonald.

You said to call me."

"Oh, Michael, oh, my goodness!

"I saw you tonight at your improv show.

"You are brilliant. You are brilliant.

"Ha-ha-ha!

"I don't know how you do that improv,

how you make it all up on the fly."

And I was like, "Well, actually,

"I mean, thank you very much, but it's--

it's actually easier than it looks."

And she goes, "Oh, Michael, no.

"Nothing is easy in Hollywood, especially as you get older.

Someday you'll find out."

[laughter]

I was like, "Well, what can I do for you, Faye?"

She goes, "I have an audition for a big Hollywood film.

"It's a comedy at Universal starring Bette.

"No last names needed.

All right, Midler."

[laughter]

The character they want me to audition for

"is a boozy Christine Baranski part.

Boozy. Wild!"

And I go, "Well, that sounds very funny."

She goes, "That's the problem, Michael,

"the comedy is scaring the hell out of me!

Comedy is terrorizing me my whole career!"

I was like, "Well, what can I do?"

She goes, "I need you to be my comedy coach."

I said, "Um, done.

I charge $25 an hour. I can meet you tomorrow."

"Hold on a minute.

"Let's not get the cart before the horse.

"I want you to call me tomorrow.

I wake up at 6:00. What time do you get up?"

I'm like, "Well, it's midnight, Faye,

"and I have to read the script,

and then, you know, so could we make it 8:00?"

"I'll allow it!"

Click. [imitates dial tone]

And she just hangs up the phone.

And now I'm thinking, like, I mean,

I'm so excited, but also, like, "What happened?

What do I--what did I just agree to?"

There's--there's an 8:00 time, but I don't know--

is it a phone call?

Do I meet her?

What--I don't have time.

I've got to just read the script.

So I--excited.

I do all my homework.

I do my diligence.

And at 8:00, I now think, like,

"If she calls me, do I--

"do I just hop in the car like Batman?

Like, what happens?"

So I put my car keys by my landline,

and I've got the script with all my notes,

and I'm dressed up just to look professional,

and the phone rings at 8:00 on the dot.

So I just, you know, do a little bit, and I go,

"Hello, Faye, how are you?"

And she goes, "How did you know it was me?"

[laughter]

And I go, "Oh, I didn't tell you? I'm psychic."

And she goes..."Really?"

[laughter]

And I go, "No, I'm sorry, I was just joking."

And she goes, "Oh, Michael, you're brilliant!

"You're brilliant!

What a high-wire act you have!"

So...

[laughter]

So I say, "Well, you know, Faye, what--

"you know, what should we do?

"I can come to you.

"You can--we can do a thing at the Groundlings,

"whatever you would like.

How would you like to do this?"

She goes, "I'm ensconced right now, Michael,

"just ensconced.

Can we just do one scene over the phone?"

And then I realize, like, oh, of course.

I know what she's doing.

You know, she doesn't know if I'm any good.

She doesn't know what my take would be, and I--like,

her credits: she's from "Chinatown"

and "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Network."

She has an Oscar.

And at that point, my biggest credit was "Leprechaun 2."

[laughter]

So she wants a little bit of a taste,

so I'm, like, I get it.

So she says, "I tell you what.

You read my part, and I'll read all the others."

And I'm like, "What?" Like, she...

you--you want me to play your part at you?

Like, give you line readings and...what--

what the fuck is happening?

But it's, you know, Faye Dunaway,

and, you know, sure,

so, like, I start doing her part to her,

and she doesn't even let me get a couple lines out

before, "Oh, Michael, ha-ha-ha-ha!

"Oh, Michael, you're brilliant!

"Just let me write that down.

'Deadpan.'"

[laughter]

"Let's do another scene."

And, like, I'm so happy to be pleasing Oscar winner,

legend, Faye Dunaway, that, like, we just go

through each scene.

We do another one, and she's laughing the whole time

at everything.

"You go up at the end of that sentence.

Let me jot that down."

Like, it's just this maniacal thing,

but because she's--I'm, like, drunk on her compliments.

So at a certain point,

I look at the clock, and it says 10:00.

We've been on the phone for two hours.

She has an audition at Universal at noon,

so I'm like, "Faye, hold on a second,

"like, I need to get over to you

"so that we can really work this out

and so you can get to Universal."

And she's like, "Michael, I don't know.

Let me check my schedule."

[imitates dial tone]

She just hangs up.

So I'm like, "What the f..."

Now I realize, like, the conversation's over

when you hear the dial tone.

So I, like, I'm kind of staring by the phone,

like, is it over? What happened?

And about a half an hour later, I get another phone call.

"Hello, this is Faye Dunaway."

I'm like, "Yes, I know, Faye."

"I was thinking about wardrobe."

I'm like, "What?"

And she's like, "I was thinking,

"I have a black Armani skirt.

"It's 9 inches above the knee,

"which is not appropriate for the character.

"So I'm going to go to Armani I Beverly Hills,

"and I'm going to have them alter it for me.

They know me. They'll do it."

And I'm like, "Faye, you're"--

like, I'm realizing a couple things.

One, Faye's got a touch of the bat shits.

[laughter]

And two, like, I don't care.

I'm undeterred. I want to help.

I'm still a fan.

I love crazy.

I want her to get this part.

So I realize she needs a little tough love.

So I go, "Faye, you don't have time to drive to fucking

"Beverly Hills for a fitting with Armani

"and then drive all the way to Universal in the Valley.

You're never gonna make it. You can't do it."

"What are your suggestions?"

"Well, Faye, why don't you just wear that black mini skirt,

"and if it's too tight and too short for you,

throw on some black leotards, and you'll be fine."

She goes, "Perfect."

Click. [imitates dial tone]

And I'm like...

so I just--now I know just to wait by the phone,

and a couple minutes later, phone rings.

I just go, "Yes, Faye, what is it?"

"Maybe you are psychic."

[laughter]

And I go, "I knew you were gonna say that."

And she goes, "Really?"

And I go, "No, I'm joking."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. You're brilliant."

[laughter]

"I was thinking about my hair.

"I just want to put it up in a bun,

because time is ticking."

And I said, "Well, Faye, that's fine.

"Go ahead. Put your hair in a bun.

Feel comfortable."

"But since you're playing an alcoholic,

"why don't you pull a couple of strands of hair just loose

"so that it gives you-- it reminds you

"of the mayhem that's going on

inside your character's heart and soul?"

"Perfect." [imitates dial tone]

Hangs up.

So now at this point, it's, like, 11:30.

And I'd been working on this thing since midnight,

and I'm realizing I'm never gonna--

I'm not gonna meet with her. and I'm not gonna get paid,

like, I'm basically working for free,

and I needed the money so bad that again, remember,

this was calling me.

[laughter]

And I start to get mad at her,

but then I think, you know, I don't know,

maybe the payment is not in the form of money.

Maybe it's in the form of this story.

And maybe someday, 20 years from now,

I can tell this story in a strip club....

[laughter]

[applause]

For slightly less than the $25 an hour

I would have got than...

[laughter]

Anyway, the phone rings again. It's right before noon.

And I can tell by the-- "This is Faye Dunaway."

I'm like, "Faye, no need. I got it."

And I can tell by the sound, she is in her car.

She's on speakerphone.

All of her windows are down.

And I can hear traffic.

And she's like, "I am right outside of Universal Studios.

"I want you to go over the lines with me one more time.

Do the lines, Michael."

So I'm like, "All right," and what you have to remember now,

it's noon on a Friday lunch hour rush.

And Faye Dunaway is driving a car,

talking on speakerphone, and holding a script,

and reading four different parts

with me on speaker.

So, "Do the lines!" And I do a couple of lines.

"Oh, my, ha-ha-ha, that's..."

Suddenly I hear a tire screech, a horn go off...

[imitates horn honking]

And then you hear her go, "I am on the right side of the road.

"You're on the wrong side of the road, sir.

Michael, do the lines."

And I'm, like--like, the tension's starting to

really pick up, and so I'm doing the lines.

And it's time for her to now do her line,

and she goes, "I'm Faye Dunaway."

And I was like, "Is this it? Did she have her break?"

Like, is it a psychotic break

where she's just starting at the beginning of her existence?

Like, so I wanted to help her, and I was like,

"Yes, yes, Faye, you are Faye Dunaway, yes."

And then I realize she's not talking to me.

She's talking to the guy at the guard gate.

He's like, "Yes, Ms. Dunaway, we were expecting you.

"All you have to do is make a left-hand turn,

"follow the blue line along the river,

and it will take you to a Cape Cod-style bungalow."

She says, "Thank you."

We start to turn, she goes, "Michael, do the lines!"

I start doing the lines, she's, "Oh, my goodness.

"Michael, you should get this part instead of me.

"You're absolutely wonderful.

God damn it!"

And I go, "What--what's wrong?"

And she goes, "I am behind a Universal Studios tour tram."

[laughter]

And she's honking on her horn, and she's,

"I'm going around.

"I'm going--I'm going to go around.

Michael, do the lines."

[laughter]

And I can just imagine, like, the luckiest tour group

in the world with their cameras,

and they see Faye Dunaway, like,

blasting past them with the-- flipping the bird

"doing the lines."

[laughter]

We get--we get through that, and I'm finishing up,

and I forgot to mention that she gave me originally

one script that was different.

There were different versions.

Hers and mine were different, and mine had a scene

that ended earlier than hers.

So I finish my last line, and she goes,

"And?"

I go, "Well, that's the end of the scene."

"There's more."

I go, "No, Faye, remember,

"you have a longer scene than I do,

"but mine was shorter, and it's the later draft,

so you don't need to know any of that."

"Well, that was for subtext!

"It helps for subtext!

"I cannot believe you did not write down

"all of these things and make notes!

"I thought you were a professional, Michael!

I cannot believe I trusted you and you've let me down!"

She just starts making noises of rage.

It's tears. It's rage.

It's--there's animal sounds.

Like, I'm--I'm terrified.

Like, I--I'm totally safe.

I'm in my apartment in the Valley.

I could just hang up, but I was, like--

it was like a horror movie; I was just frozen, like,

"What do I...what do I... what do I do?

I'm so...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

I barely could get anything out.

And then she goes, "Quiet.

I found the bungalow."

And I'm like--was expecting the little...

[imitates dial tone]

But I didn't. She's keeping me.

And I'm not sure why.

And so--especially after I disappointed her so.

So she opens the car door,

and you hear the pling-pling, pling-pling,

like your "car door open" and your keys are still there

kind of thing.

And I hear a man's voice...

[mumbling indistinctly]

And then I hear her go, "I know it's not my parking space,

but I won't be long."

And the guy just goes, "Oh, okay," like...

[laughter]

And so then I can hear Faye.

She's just breathing. I'm still there.

I don't know what to do.

She sits back down in her car.

And she's just breathing, and she goes,

"Michael, are you there?"

I said, "Yes, I'm here, Faye.

What--what can I do for you?"

And she goes, "I'm just so frustrated.

"I've been let down so many times,

"and I'm so frustrated, and now I cannot do the comedy.

I cannot do the comedy, and I don't know what to do."

And I, it was at that point, I, like, I got her.

Like, auditions are horrifying.

They're embarrassing.

They're nerve-racking.

You're putting yourself on the line.

And, I mean, that's--for me, is, like,

as a shitty little actor in an improv troupe.

This is Faye Dunaway, Oscar winner,

having to audition for a part.

Of course she's frustrated.

So I just--I decided I'd get into her head

and help her out, and I said,

"Faye, I know you're frustrated.

"You have every right to be frustrated.

"And what is an alcoholic

"but a frustrated person?

"I want you to use all of your frustration,

"and I want you to go in there

and turn that into your character."

And she goes, "Brilliant."

And I thought I was gonna... [imitates dial tone]

But I still didn't get it. She was still there.

And I could hear her undoing makeup and, you know, like,

clicking and unclicking lipstick

and all kinds of things, and I just imagined her

looking at herself in that little rearview mirror,

and she goes, "Michael, before I go in,

do you have any last words of advice?"

And I go, "Yeah, I do, actually.

"I want you to remember, when you walk into that room,

that you are fucking Faye Dunaway."

- Yeah. - And...

[cheers and applause]

And her response was, "Thank you."

[imitates dial tone]

Thank you all very much.

[dark electronic music]

- Michael McDonald!

Whoo.

Windows 10 April update is CONFIRMED: Here are the new features Microsoft fans will love - Duration: 3:00.

Windows 10 April update is CONFIRMED: Here are the new features Microsoft fans will love Microsoft.

Windows 10 is due an update this month and now it appears Microsoft has confirmed it will be called April update.

A recent Edge browser upgrade, to build 17134, has revealed here that the new Windows 10 refresh will be called April update, as you can also see in the below image.

That previously rumoured name of Spring update appears to have been false after all. So what new features can we expect from the April update to Windows 10? There are a few teases so far that include a change to the timeline.

You should soon be able to resume previous activities in timeline which could make for a more seamless way of working, even when taking breaks.

This appears to work by let you scroll between windows of activity and simply selecting where you want to jump back in. Another feature will allow you to more easily share files with nearby devices.

Yup, this does sound a bit like Apple's AirDrop – but that's no bad thing as it really works well.

This does appear to be a Windows to Windows computer based sharing system, but it may end up reaching further across varying devices.

Microsoft has also rebuilt the Game Bar to offer a new Fluent design user interface that should make the experience far more friendly and easy.

There will now be a diagnostic data viewing tool in the security and privacy section for those that want a bit more in depth information on what's happening on their Windows 10 machine.

Cortana also appears to be getting an upgrade which will allow the voice controlled smart assistant to be used more easily via a new Organizer interface and My Skills tab.

         . Microsoft also says it has listened to feedback from its customers and is now making this upgrade a lot smoother.

Now, rather than the 82 minute update time of the Creators release, or the 51 minute offline update time of the Fall Creators update, the April update should take just 30 minutes.

There may still be a delay on the update itself, despite the April name. Reports of a bug being discovered could end up pushing back the already delayed update.

But with that April name already public it seems likely Microsoft will stick to this month for release.

DreamExpress is with us on radio channel 99!!!! - Duration: 6:16.

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to Hong Kong Radio, channel 99.

Today, we are happy to have the host of Dream Express and a guest here with us.

They are going to introduce their organization and their experience in establishing it .HELLO!

Hello everyone, i'm Lam Siu Chen, Apple, one of the Dream Express' alumni.

Hi, i'm one of the founders of Dream Express, kelly.

I'm honour to be here to introduce Dream Express to you.

Welcome, so Kelly, why would you establish Dream Express with your teammates?

our job is to offer them tickets to the entry of dream,and carrying them to reach their destination.

Dream Express is a non-profit organization started in 2010

which aims to help people aged from 13-29 years old to pursue their own dreams.

As a teenager, we all understand that everyone wants to pursue their own dream,

however there is lack of resources and capitals to support them.

Some would like to find a stable job to earn more money rather than pursuing their dream job

but it is miserable that they are not doing their preferred job.

These factors lower their self-esteem and also their sense of belongings in Hong Kong.

In order to improve this situation among the teenagers, Dream express is here to help teenagers

achieving their own dream by organising and browsing different suitable events and competitions for them.

In certain cases, we will also encourage them to join international competitions and courses

by offering a precise amount of funds and subsidies.

I see, so what are the difficulties and obstructions you guys have encountered while establishing this organization?

At the very beginning, we were actually lacking of manpower and money resources to establish this.

To gain fame from a very small dot, we actually have our team members burning midnight oil

and paid a lot of effort on it.

On top of that, we also have to thank our alumni.

They had donated a lot to help us too.

With all of these, we can help more lost teenagers to chase their dreams.

Oh Apple, may I ask the reason why you need the help from DreamExpress?

When I was 15 years old, I started to dance through free trial sessions.

My teacher told me that I was talented, but I knew that my family could not pay me the fee.

Luckily, my kind teacher said that I had a lot of interest in learning dancing, she exempted

tuition fee of an entire month.

Unfortunately, my family found that I wanted to be a dancer.

they strongly opposed me.

they did not think being a dancer can have a better future and cannot make much money.

They did not allow me to continue dancing in the studio.

Therefore, after that month, I gave up learning dancing since then.

My family told me to pay more effort on studies in order to find a better and stable job, earning money to make a living.

This was why I started working as a part-timer since I graduated from my secondary school at the age of 18.

Until the age of 20, I realized that I was not feeling satisfied doing the job.

I suddenly wanted to dance and join competitions, so I tried to find Dream Express to help me following my dream.

We knew her problem and began to search for information in this area.

we found a suitable dance school in Singapore and we also discussed with her family.

Eventually, she was sent to learn dancing there.

I really thanked Dream Express with their help.

Not only helping me to find dance schools, they also offered me financial assistance.

I only owned a sum of money that was saved from my previous job.

That was not enough for paying the fee.

so, They funded me a precise amount of money.

I used about one and a half year to complete the dance course.

In that precious time, my teacher often recommended me to participate in international contests.

Recently, I have awarded many trophies and scholarships.

These offered me a lot of experience and money in pursuing my dancer dream.

By winning competitions, I was awarded a number of scholarships.

I decided to donate these scholarships to dream express as to appreciate their kindness

when I was in a hard time.

I hope these funds can help lost teenagers to chase their own dreams as well.

My family started to understand my thought and my dream to be a dancer.

And now, they will attend every of my performances.

So,How did you find Dream Express?

I had immediately resigned my job before I found them.

Well, I actually browsed the website to find another job.

At that moment, I saw their advertisement on the edge of the screen.Then I tried to contact them.

Oh ,I knew you have made your dream come true as a dancer,what can you share to the listeners?

In the way of pursuing dreams, you may face many challenges and obstacles,

however, there are people who always be with you, like dream express

I hope listeners can find and catch their dreams.

Lastly, I would like to give a special thanks to dream express for their hard work, also,

offering me an interview to study a dance instructor course at The Hong Kong Dance Association.

They enabled me to start my way of being a dancer again

I would like to give sincere thanks to Kelly and Apple to share their experiences with us today.

If you want any consultation from our guest, please feel free to phone up their hotline 25610312.

Dare to dream, Ready to scream!!!

When A Superhero Is Unemployed (with Lamorne Morris) - Duration: 4:29.

- Don't make me pull it out on you,

because I'll pull it out on you.

Oh I'll Louis CK you right here in a fucking heartbeat

BOOM (laughs)

- Someone's been busy today

- You're damn right I am, you know I saw a TED Talk

that said four hours a day, yeah, keeps you productive.

- Sounds like TED was talking about-

- Bullshit! Come on, man, I'm gonna stick my fist-

- Hello

- Hey

- You don't have to save the world today?

- (sigh) Baby you ain't gonna believe this,

oh my God this hurts to say it but, um,

the Justice League let me go again.

Apparently Superman thought that I was using poor judgment,

now let me explain something to you,

have you seen his costume?

Now that's poor judgment.

- You demolished another building again, didn't you?

- [Man] Yeah but just hear me out though,

there I was fighting with Hammer Fist.

All of a sudden,

he punches me through a building,

injuring dozens, killing six, impregnating three.

- Oh my God

- I know, oh my God is exactly

what I was thinking when they took away my hero endorsements

Yeah, my Captain Q plush dolls,

my signature banana hammock, my recurring role on Empire

as Cookie's secret lover Buck Johnson,

with that thing that hang all the way

to the floor, that's all gone.

- Did you file for unemployment?

- Nah, I ain't do that.

- Why not?

- Baby, are you not listening to me?

The building that I went through

was the unemployment office. Crazy.

- I hate to say this, but I think you should start

thinking about getting a regular job.

- A job?

- You know, just something part-time while you wait

for your next hero gig.

- Baby, I am a superhero, okay?

I gotta keep my feet to the ground, my head above water,

my boys to the men, you know what I'm saying?

I gotta keep my DV to the D - I get it

- My P to the V - Okay

- My H to the P to the V - All right

- Okay look, baby, listen to me,

I cannot sit in front of a computer screen all damn day

like you do, no offense, no offense I'm just saying.

- A lot of offense taken, okay?

My job is very important, I'm a Social Media Curator.

- Do you hear what you just said to me?

(laughs)

- It's so cute when you get angry.

Here's what you do for a living.

You make cat memes for an online video company.

- You love those cat memes.

- Yeah I do but they have no sense of comedic timing.

You understand? Me, I save lives.

There's levels to this, baby. There's levels.

- You also cause collateral damage.

(deep breath)

- I need a moment. Excuse me. Excuse me.

- Ow!

- I'm sorry

I shouldn't have said that.

- You know what you said, bitch.

- Are you crying? - No baby, I'm not crying okay

There's just something in my eye

from all that shade that's being thrown my way.

Why don't you just tell me how you really feel?

- I feel like you should get a job,

it's not like you get paid to fight crime anyway.

- Baby, I am a civil servant.

- Servant being the operative word.

There's no shame in getting a regular job.

- A regular job?

That's only gonna get in the way of my mission, baby.

- Clark Kent seems to handle working

at the Daily Bugle and being Superman.

- Okay you know what, it's the Daily Planet.

And also, that's bullshit okay?

Because that dude skips out on work

every single day to go fight crime.

Well I guess you can do that

when you're banging the lead reporter (laughs)

but that's none of my business now, is it?

- Look, baby, do me a favor okay? Support me.

- When have I not? I was the only person

who supported you and said you looked good in spandex

when black Twitter dragged you

saying you looked like Magic Johnson's son.

- Who, EJ?

That dude's sexy as fuck.

And you know I was experimenting

with Lycra fabrics, come on.

- Oh my god, look. If you're not gonna go to work,

why don't you consider selling this

rock thing you seized from a cult of doomsday worshippers?

- Oh, now you want me to sell the rock.

You want me on these streets selling rock to the community,

boys and little black boys and white boys and-

- This rock

- Oh, you mean the kryptonite

that I'm definitely NOT gonna use to kill Superman

because he had me fired from my job?

Yeah that's just research.

- It sounds like you're trying

to kill Superman with this rock.

- Who's asking?

- Stop

What Is Phoenix Point? // MrStainless001 - Duration: 5:00.

Hey everyone Sam here also known as MrStainless and if any of you watch my streams over on

Twitch you'll know that I really enjoy playing XCOM 2..even if I do suck at the game a lot

of the time and end up getting my team torn apart and mutilated BUT THATS NOT THE POINT.

Recently I've came across a game called Phoenix Point which is releasing near the

end of this year which I and other fans of the XCOM franchise should be really excited

about and today I want to tell you all about it.

But before I do if you want to join the community here on the channel hit that subscribe button

down below I upload three videos a week and it's the best way to be kept notified.

Now first off, developement of Phoenix Point is being led by Julian Gollop, the man who

created the XCOM franchise.

The game itself is set on Earth in the year 2047 in the midst of an alien invasion and

you and your team must do whatever you can to help maintain humanities survival.

Now for me what really struck me about the game…is that the aliens are bloody terrifying.

Whenever I saw the first snapshots of the bosses in this game the first thing I thought

of was the ungodly mashup toys that were in the first Toy Story.

The likeness…uncanny.

My underwear….needs changing.

On top of all that though one thing I found incredibly interesting was that enemies can

evolve and change as you fight them, they can develop shields, new armour, changed tactics.

Unlike other strategy games where if you've fought them once you've arguably fought

them a thousand times it seems like the enemies in Phoenix Point will keep you on your toes.

Gameplay-wise Phoenix Point will bear some similarity to the XCOM franchise, it will

integrate elements of global strategy and tactical combat like we see in XCOM while

equally aiming to expand upon those.

So you'll be able to create and grow your own squad of marines, then do what I do and

rename those marines with the names of all the people you love and hold dear, then send

those marines out into battle, have them die in the line of duty a horrific death due to

a misclick or your inability to make sound tactical decisions, not be able to recover

their bodies and then think about how you'll die alone as you travel back to your home

base…sorry I think i went off on a bit of a tangent there.

Lead designer Julian Gollop has equally said that he is hoping to incorporate design elements

from other renowned strategy titles like Crusader Kings 2 and Civilisation in order to create

a much grander sense of global strategy, which sounds interesting!

As a big fan of Crusader Kings 2 I look forward to the breeding opportunities Phoenix Point

may give me.

With regards to the gameplay, as I've said the aliens of Phoenix Point are capable of

procedural evolution, meaning they'll potentially physically change over time which will offer

unique challenges and tactical choices for us as the players to figure out, now this

will differ depending on the region you're fighting in, but to add insult to injury,

the aliens will adapt to your tactics over time and try their best to thwart them…great.

You'll also have to build relationships with competing factions across the globe each

with different motivations and ideologies, probably quite similar to what you can do

in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen with the Templars etc but most likely with greater depth.

Speaking of gameplay the maps you fight on will contain destructible, procedural environments

and everything will be potentially destructible giving us as the players even more options

to create utter chaos.

There will be a vast array of weaponry and equipment, each human faction actually having

their own gear that they can bring to the battlefield.

And some of my favourite features actually come from the gunplay; because alien enemies

in Phoenix Point can evolve and develop new extensions of their anatomy you can actually

target body parts when you shoot at one, kind of like the VATs system in Fallout, so if

you want to try and target the head because the rest of their body is a thick shielded

carapace you can!

I really like this idea and I think it could be really interesting if focussing on a specific

body part will affect the fighting capacity of that alien.

For instance if you target it's legs, blow them to kingdom come, the alien can't move

around the map but instead just sits there in a bloody heap.

One other aspect of the gunplay that I'm really impressed by is bullet damage, which

sounds super boring but if you're a fan of the XCOM franchise and you've played

those games, if you shoot at an enemy with a machine gun for example, your attack does

a collective amount of damage.

In Phoenix Point if you have a burst rifle that shoots three bullets, each bullet will

do it's own damage…if that makes any sense.

I'll be going into greater depth on that in a future video but for me it completely

changes the dynamic of how combat will work and I can't wait to try it out.

But folks that is a crash course on what Phoenix Point is, I'll be bringing you some more

gameplay of Phoenix Point in a later video so if you want to be notified of when that

video goes live, hit the subscribe button down below but in the meantime have a great

week and I'll speak to you all soon.

Which Creatine Is Best? [You Might Be Surprised!] - Duration: 3:03.

Hey guys, Paul from Ultimate fat Burner.com here and in this video, I'm going to answer

the question, which creatine is the best.

If you want to find out you're going to have to stick around.

I'll be right back in just a couple of seconds, don't go anywhere!

hey!

Alright!

You're still here, awesome.

Thanks for sticking around.

So let's get right to the question, "which creatine is best?"

And it's a good question to ask, because I bet you have heard a ton of different opinions

on the topic.

However, regardless of what you might have heard, there really ins't any dispute

as to which creatine is best.

It's creatine monohydrate.

Yep.

Ok, ok, so I can hear you saying, Paul, what about creatine HCL, or creatine ethyl esther,

or buffered creatine (which also known as a

Kre-alkalyn) or creatine citrate, or this new 3-creatine blend I just saw some guru

promoting on YouTube 10 minutes ago?

Well, here's the thing...

It's entirely possible that there is a creatine that works BETTER than creatine monohydrate,

but at this time, there's no clinical evidence to support this argument.

Almost all the scientific studies that support the use and safety of creatine as a sports

performance supplement were performed on creatine monohydrate.

The other versions of creatine either have no supporting data, very little supporting

data, or the clinical data shows they are actually less effective than creatine monohydrate.

Two examples of creatine proven less effective are creatine ethyle esther and buffered creatine

(kre-alkalyn) and I'll include a link to the clinical studies that show this in the description

under this video so you can confirm this for yourself.

Here's the thing about creatine monohydrate...

It's cheap.

And it works.

And guess what?

Every time you see a new version of creatine you'll notice that is costs 3-4 times as much

money at least.

In my opinion, most of the time, claims for newer more effective versions are

just marketing, as retailers and manufacturers try to get you to switch from a product that

costs less than $10/month to one that costs $30-40 a month or more.

You can spend your money on this stuff if you like, as long as you keep in mind, that

99 times out of 100, the claims made for these products

aren't backed by much - or any - scientific studies.

Alright guys there you have it, the "no bs" answer to which creatine is best.

If you liked this video a thumbs up or a share would be awesome,

and of course, if you have questions or comments or want to share your feedback on any of the

different creation variations you have tried, please leave a comment below - I would love

to hear from you and I know our viewers will appreciate your perspective as well.

And before yoiu go one last thing... if you're not subscribed, now would be a great time

to do so, especially if you like no BS supplement videos.

Thanks so much for watching, and I'll see you really soon.
