Waching daily Jul 1 2018

All week

the big story has been about liberal activists

confronting Trump and his senior officials

over his immigration policies.

But according to some,

this anger is just playing straight

into Trump's enormously small hands.

This is the kind of behavior

that rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

And they say if you're going to attack a president like this

and the... and the people who work for him,

I'm simply going to vote against you.

REPORTER: This may help the Republicans not lose the House.

The more that the-the critics get enraged,

the more they drive people towards President Trump.

It's a complete gift to Donald Trump.

It is helping Donald Trump.

If the Democrats and people on the political left

keep that stuff up,

he gets... it's a slam dunk for Trump.

"Slam dunk for Trump." Wow.

That's a phrase I never thought I'd hear.

The physics just don't seem possible, you know?

But, still, the question is, does liberal outrage at Trump

only drive more people to his side?

Well, for answers, we turn

to our senior civility correspondent,

-Michael Kosta, everybody! -(cheering and applause)

Michael, this is...

this is... this is really confusing.

Well, I know it seems confusing, Trevor,

but those pundits are absolutely right.

It's like when my girlfriend kept accusing me

of wanting to sleep with Karen, you know?

She brought it up so much that, eventually, I slept with Karen.

Again. I had already slept with... I'm not a great person.

I'm just making the point.

Wait, wait, what is the point again?

The point is, like my girlfriend,

all the liberal screaming and shouting

annoys people so much it makes them vote for Trump.

Well, but, wait, isn't there a double standard here, Michael?

I mean, like, the president's supporters want civility,

but he's out there calling people bitches

and-and saying that some women are too ugly to assault.

He's just telling it how it is.

I mean, sorry if it triggers you, but it's funny.

Okay, but then Robert De Niro saying "(bleep) Trump"

at the Tony Awards?

That's crude, okay?

That is crude and disgusting.

If George Washington saw what's become of the Tony Awards,

Trevor, I'm just glad he's dead.

Well, I-I... Here's the thing. I guess I just don't understand

how people could be more offended at language

than policies. You know, like how conservatives flipped out

when Peter Fonda tweeted that Trump's children

should be locked in a cage.

And-and how dare he, Trevor?

How dare Peter Fonda,

the star of Ulee's Gold,

the 123rd top-grossing movie of 1997,

a man with that kind of power,

say the president's child should be locked up?

Yeah, but the president is actually locking up children

-right now. -Uh, yeah. So what?

Sometimes you got to lock kids up.

But to threaten to lock kids up,

I just thank God Abraham Lincoln was shot to death

before he read that tweet.

Okay, but-but just so we're clear,

this is the same side that cheered on Corey Lewandowski

when he mocked a girl with Down syndrome

being taken away from her parents.

Do you even have jokes in Africa, Trevor?

Lewandowski wasn't mocking the girl--

he was mocking people who think a girl with Down syndrome

being separated from her family is sad.

But it is sad.

If you don't think that, you're heartless.

Oh, really, Trevor? You're calling Trump voters heartless?

Guess what, they just got ten more Trump votes right there.

Wait, wait, I just got him ten more votes?

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Oh, and now they're stupid, too?

Now those ten people are definitely voting for Trump.

Didn't you just say that they were already voting for Trump?

(stammers) They might have forgotten.

Those people are kind of stupid.

So, so, let me get this straight.

If liberals criticize Trump, he'll get more votes.

But if they don't do anything, then he wins anyway.

So how can they win the situation?

Don't ask me. I mean, I had a girlfriend and Karen,

and now they've both kicked me out, you know?

I'm just glad Ronald Reagan is too dead to see

this proud American reduced to sleeping in the office

-of his African boss. -Wait, wait...

Wait, you're sleeping in my office?

That's Trevor Noah, everybody!

How The U.S. Is Outsourcing Border Enforcement To Mexico - Duration: 9:25.

The U.S. is pushing Mexico to get tougher on its southern border, with dangerous consequences.

The U.S. pushed Mexico to do its dirty job of keeping people from reaching our border

and trying to request protection here.

There's been a lot of focus on the Trump administration's immigration policy.

The Trump administration has been lying about this policy and downplaying the deliberate child abuse.

At its capacity, this place could house up to 4,000 children.

And if children get caught up in the fallout of that, according to the attorney general, so be it.

And despite President Trump's claims,

They flow right through Mexico, they send them into the United States.

Mexico actually deports more Central American people than the U.S. does, and has done so since 2015.

The fact that there was a lot of pressure on Mexico to do something that they probably weren't equipped to do,

really is concerning in terms of what this has meant for a very vulnerable population

of Central American migrants mostly, who have been fleeing their homes seeking protection

in the past few years.

Hi guys, I'm Daniel and this Sunday we're going to be talking about the other Mexican border

and how the U.S. is supporting Mexico's efforts to control immigration from Central America.

Those are just a few of the reasons people along Mexico's border with Guatemala

told us why they decided to leave home.

However, most refugees and migrants will never make it to the U.S. border.

That's because starting in 2014 there was a dramatic jump in the number of them arrested in Mexico.

To understand why there's been this increase in arrests, we need to talk about Programa Frontera Sur,

or as it's known in English, the Southern Border Plan.

Frontera Sur is the Mexican government's program to step-up immigration enforcement,

particularly in southern Mexico.

It was announced in July 2014 by Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto after tens of thousands of children

fleeing violence arrived at the U.S. border.

President Obama declared it a humanitarian crisis.

And earlier this week, Mexico announced a series of steps that they're going to take on their southern border

to help stem the tide of these unaccompanied children.

Obama, by the way, has been called "deporter-in-chief" by undocumented immigrant advocacy groups.

Maureen Meyer at WOLA, the Washington Office of Latin America, says

that while Mexico was already arresting Central American refugees and migrants prior to Frontera Sur,

this was significant because it was a conscious decision by Mexico to work more closely with the U.S.

Lots of phone calls were made and requests made from the United States to Mexico saying,

"You need to help us address the Central American migration" and really pressuring Mexico

to step up enforcement as a way to reduce the number of Central Americans reaching the U.S. border.

Initially, Peña Nieto said that part of Frontera Sur would promote and protect migrant rights.

I think if that was the aim, it's failed miserably.

If the objective was more to detain and deport Central Americans and others, then they've had a lot of success.

A quick look at the nature of U.S. involvement might give you an idea of what's shaped the policies of Frontera Sur.

WOLA says that since 2014 there's probably been $200 million allocated to Mexico for southern border security.

Now, what this looks like on the ground is funding for setting up communications towers

along the border that enable Mexico security agencies and the immigration agency to better communicate,

to improved biometric equipment for Mexico's immigration agency,

so you know who's going through your detention centers and the ports of entry.

WOLA even found that ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency,

maintains a presence at a detention center in Tapachula, Mexico that houses children.

Besides sending those fleeing violence back into potentially dangerous situations in their home countries,

Frontera Sur may actually be putting them more at risk on their journey.

Just listen to some of their stories.

The crackdown has pushed travellers into more remote, more dangerous parts of the country

-- a country that's getting more unsafe for everybody.

Mexico's population is a little over one-third of the United States'

and in 2017 there was a record 29,000 homicides in Mexico, the highest number since

the country's modern record-keeping began.

That means in Mexico for every 100,000 people,

more than 20 of them were murdered.

In the U.S. that number was closer to just five,

meaning Mexico's murder rate is nearly four times higher.

Crimes and abuses against people travelling through Mexico continue at an alarming rate,

and according to WOLA, shelters have noted a more intense degree of violence in the reported cases.

And there have been reports of alleged verbal and physical abuse by Mexican officials,

even using Taser guns to threaten and control them.

Migrants are frequently kidnapped, extorted, robbed.

Often women are sexually assaulted both by criminal organizations,

but sometimes in collusion with Mexican officials.

And we have not seen any significant effort by Mexican authorities to curtail those abuses.

The U.S. may have played a larger role in making Mexico more dangerous.

Diego Lorente says the policy of dealing with migration as an issue of national security

actually goes pretty far back.

This focus on security began after the 9/11 attacks,

when former Mexican President Vicente Fox and then U.S. President George W. Bush decided to cooperate

more closely on matters of national security.

Mexico established Plan South, a system of police and

military surveillance. It also started deferring to the U.S.

on issues relating to the southern border.

Then in 2007 came the Mérida Initiative.

The U.S. signed on to support the purchase of military equipment and training

as part of Mexico's newly declared war on drugs.

Under Mérida, the U.S. has allocated over $2 billion in aid to Mexico in the past decade.

And $100 million of that has gone to Mexico's National Institute of Migration since 2014.

Mérida is highly controversial. Critics say it has only made the situation worse.

The strategy coincided with the militarization of public security in Mexico,

in part stemming from an enormous increase in firearm sales from the U.S.

WOLA and human rights organizations have even gone so far as to call on the U.S. to withhold aid from Mexico

because they're concerned about the human rights situation.

It's a very dangerous situation where Mexico's in right now because you have military in roles that don't

correspond to them, and a lot of times leads to abuses against the civilian population or others that they

encounter with very weak accountability mechanisms, so really weak efforts to investigate any soldier involved

in crimes or human rights violations against their population.

And there's another way the U.S. has contributed to this crisis.

Many of the reasons Central Americans are fleeing their home countries stem from decades of U.S. intervention.

Take, for example, the wars in El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua in the 1980s.

The U.S. spent billions funding these wars in an effort to stop the spread of communism

– and the effects are still felt today.

Gangs like MS-13 were made in the U.S.A. They were actually started by

Central Americams who fled U.S.-sponsored civil wars in the 1980s.

In the 90s, President Bill Clinton's policy made it easier for people to be deported,

which sent these gangs back to Central America.

Today, countries like El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras are among the most violent in the world.

I'm actually Salvadoran-American.

And my family fled the war in El Salvador in the 1980s.

What is the happiness? - Duration: 3:28.

We often consider 'how to live'.

Study a foreign language after work

Work out three times a week

Travel abroad three times a year

there are many books introducing various ways of living

and most of us try to send that but before long we stop

Do you know why? It is because before you find an answer for how to live,

You need an answer for 'Why do we live?'

So, why do we live?

Power honor fortune love

Aristotle says the reason why humans live is to seek happiness

To be happy you might need power honor

fortune or love

However, you don't need happiness to get power.

You don't need happiness to get honor.

In other words, happiness is the ultimate goal of your life.

Then what is happiness?

Happiness is a noun and adverb is happily

As a noun,

happiness is something like a state of mind, a thing, a power, an honor, fortune, or love.

Having a lot of money doesn't always make you happy

Having a huge honor doesn't always make you happy

As an adverb, 'happily' is how you live.

It is 'Do something happily'.

Overwork does not make you unhappy in itself

It is a matter of whether you overwork happily or unhappily

Going to work does not make you unhappy in itself.

It is a matter of whether you go to work happily or unhappily

So, the answer is not to try to find happiness but to try anything happily

Is it really possible to have a mindset to do everything happily?

Aristotle says that to achieve this mindset

you need to realize that there is nothing that is perfect, absolute or unchanging

With moderation and rationality you will live a good and happy life with well-being

To be honest, I'm not sure that I can approach this level of thinking

For example, as we are not perfect,

To love brings not only pleasure and delight,

but also anger and sorrow, but this does not lead to worthless love

So what is a way to live happily?

If you have to do something that you don't like tomorrow,

are you sure that you'll be able to do it happily?

The book 'Philosophizing with Kwang-seok Kim' explains opinions of eleven philosophers including

Aristotle, Plato, Descartes and Hume

with songs of 'Kwang-seok Kim', which are easy to understand

FYI, Kwang-seok Kim was a popular and influential South Korean folk rock singer ,who died young.

His music still loved by the public.

BTS is so badass they could definitely cross genres into American rock.

Panic! At The Disco lead vocalist Brendon Urie called BTS "badass" in a live stream and A. Ys are calling for a collaboration.

Brendon Urie, who is the only remaining original member of the band and who headlines the Cyndi Lauper Broadway show Kinky Boots, participated in a live questions and answer session on Twitter when a fan asked "How do you feel about BTS?" He responded, "Badass!".

Y's are having fun with his response by quoting lyrics from "I Write Sins Not Tragedies".

Fans are also amazed at how much genres are colliding thanks to BTS, and want to see a collaboration between the rock artist and the BTS boys.

Ys think Brendon Urie's vocal range would fit in nicely with a duet with V and have pointed out that both artists's central music themes are similar.

And RM collaborated with Fall Out Boy for their remixed track "Champion" in 2017, so the seeds have already been sown for a cross-genre collab!.

Brendon Urie's admiration for BTS is just another celebrity in a long line of Western performers who would love to collaborate with the K-Pop sensation!.

Maxine Is Sick Of Trump Ignoring Her And Bla*t Big Demand She Wants From Him Now - Duration: 5:27.

Maxine Is Sick Of Trump Ignoring Her And Blast Big Demand She Wants From Him Now.

Politicians on the left have become deranged over the last year and a half that the president

has taken over the office.

Especially more recently.

In particular, Congressional Black Caucus member and Member of Congress Maxine Waters

has been making some rather crude, derogatory, and downright dangerous comments that have

incited violence.

She has received criticism both overt and passive-aggressive from both the left and

the right, even leadership within her own party.

However, that has not stopped her from making demands and progressively getting worse.

Which is why this latest story will not shock you what so ever.

Fox News reported:

"Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., called on President Trump to "please resign" at

the TIME 100 Gala on Tuesday night, so that she "won't have to keep up this fight

of your having to be impeached."

Waters was prompted by a questioner who asked her if she had some advice for Trump.

"I don't think you deserve to be there," Waters said, referring to the president.

"Just get out."

The annual event in New York assembles celebrities and prominent figures to celebrate the world's

100 most influential people according to TIME.

In the 2018 TIME 100, Waters was named as one such influencer.

Actor Yara Shahidi praised Waters as "so eloquent in letting the world, particularly

the white men of Congress who dare test her acumen, know that she is not here for any

nonsense."

Tuesday night's comments were relatively tame for Waters, who has previously called

Trump the "most horrible man I've ever seen in my life."

Last month, Trump said Waters suffers from a 'very low IQ' and called on her to take

an IQ test.

Waters responded that either the Russia investigation, or the allegations of porn star Stormy Daniels,

will ultimately bring Trump down.

"I'm not going to be intimidated by him," Waters said.

While TIME Magazine reported the following during the TIME 100 event,

"Asked if she had any advice for Trump, Waters, who represents California's 43rd

District, issued a request.

"Please resign," said Waters, who was named one of the most influential people of

the year in the 2018 TIME 100.

"So that I won't have to keep up this fight of your having impeached because I don't

think you deserve to be there.

Just get out."

Waters is one of the most vocal politicians calling for Trump to be removed from office,

and has suggested impeaching the president multiple times since his inauguration.

In the 2018 TIME 100, actor Yara Shahidi commended Waters for saying "what many of us are thinking,"

from her declaration of "reclaiming my time" to her dedication to taking Trump out of the

office of the presidency.

"She is adored and admired by people who care about social justice and is oh so eloquent

in letting the world, particularly the white men of Congress who dare test her acumen,

know that she is not here for any nonsense," Shahidi said."

However, it is not just President Trump that she has spoken out against.

She has been a vocal critic over the last 30 years of former President George H.W. Bush,

George W. Bush, as well as President Trump.

She referred to President George H.W. Bush as a racist who polarized Americans and perverted

American culture.

Prior to his d***h, she had a strong relationship with Fidel Castro and argued that he has worked

to bring his country of Cuba to a democratic place which the United States, she allegedly

purported, has not done.

Waters has even gone as far in the past as to oppose President Obama, the first African

American President, whom she argued did nothing to uplift black Americans and whose administration

oversaw a drastic decrease in African American unemployment.

Over the years she has been closely aligned with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Waters actions speak for themselves.

She has done a large amount of nothing in her over 20 years of service to the House

of Representatives while taking attention away from real issues by sucking up news time

with her hysterical antics.

Instead of focusing on issues that affect real Americans coming to solutions for them,

she has incited violence, perpetuated hateful rhetoric, and made this country and her district

a less safe place.

Nobody in the United States should fear for there life because of their political beliefs

yet she has encouraged people to harass Trump administration staffers.

There is nothing American or civilized about it.

Protesting is patriotic, harassing is not.

This is what the radical left has devolved into.

Share if you agree that Maxine Waters is a lunatic.

Share if you believe she should be punished by a House censure for inciting violence.

Share if you think that Maxine Waters behavior is a disgrace to the office she holds.

Share if you agree that someone should replace her during the 2018 presidential elections.

Is Meghan about to cut all ties with her father? - Duration: 5:29.

Is Meghan about to cut all ties with her father?

Of all the problems Meghan Markle anticipated in her transformation from actress to duchess after marrying into the Royal Family, this was surely the one she least expected.

So imagine what must go through her mind when she reaches for the telephone to call her father. Hardly a day goes past without a headline that seemingly emanates from the private thoughts of Thomas Markle.

Just this week we've had reports of his sadness at not receiving a Father's Day card from his daughter and a bizarre outburst about Donald Trump's meeting with the Queen next month.

'If the Queen is willing to meet our arrogant and insensitive president,' he was quoted as saying by the U.S. gossip website TMZ, 'she has no excuse not to meet me, I'm nowhere near as bad.'.

All this has followed hot on the heels of his bombshell interview with ITV's Good Morning Britain, in which he repeated private conversations he'd had with his new son-in-law Prince Harry and discussed Meghan's desire to have children.

It is, of course, an unwritten rule that the royals never discuss politics, yet here he was giving Harry's views on Brexit and Donald Trump.

As upsetting as having such intimacies aired undoubtedly is for the Duchess of Sussex, she is also facing the accusation that she has now cut her father adrift.

According to reliable sources close to 73-year-old Markle, the father of three has not spoken to either Meghan or Harry since his interview with Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid 12 days ago.

For his daughter there is understandable anxiety about whether she can call her father for fear that everything she says to him seems likely to appear somewhere or other in public.

It is a unique predicament for the royal family because, until now, in-laws have almost always been discreet — you need only to think of the sensibly silent Middleton family.

But discretion seems to be something that Thomas Markle either doesn't understand or chooses not to understand. What an absurd, tawdry and decidedly unroyal mess the Markle affair has become.

From the moment he announced he was pulling out of the wedding just days before he was due to walk his daughter down the aisle at St George's Chapel, Windsor, the unworldly Thomas Markle has run rings round the so-called sophisticates of Buckingham Palace.

To begin with, there was nothing but sympathy for the retired Hollywood lighting director and his brutally honest explanation that after his collaboration with the paparazzi over staged photographs his presence at the wedding would be a distraction.

He admitted the collusion had been a 'serious mistake'. Then came the news that he had suffered a heart attack and was not well enough to travel to Britain even if he wanted to.

While this seemed a plausible — if convenient — excuse, there were the first stirrings of discomfort inside Kensington Palace regarding Markle's habit of making his announcements via the media. They were soon to discover just how spectacularly he was wrong-footing them.

The furore over the fake photos, apparently designed to improve his public image, prompted an unprecedented official statement by Meghan. In it she described the situation between herself and her father as 'deeply personal'.

She and Harry also asked for 'understanding and respect' to be extended to her father 'in this difficult situation'.

So it was hardly surprising that Kensington Palace was kept in the dark about Markle's TV interview to ensure he could not be persuaded to withdraw from it.

As for the man himself, he admitted he hadn't warned his daughter or her new husband in advance but said he hoped that nothing he said would offend them and that the Royal Family would 'understand my feelings as well'.

All in all it was an incendiary mix, and if it hadn't already exposed Meghan to the icy displeasure of the royals towards anything which damages or undermines regal prestige, it was only a matter of time.

The extent of the interview, conducted live, left seasoned courtiers incredulous. The duchess, too, was said this week to have been completely 'taken by surprise' by his comments.

So what is going on, and what has happened to Markle and his relationship with his daughter after he spoke so openly?.

In the shabby Mexican coastal community of San Antonio del Mar, a few miles south of the U.S. border with California, Markle has been telling friends of his disappointment about Kensington Palace's silence.

One figure who speaks to him regularly told me: 'He is feeling upset by that. Before the wedding there was a relationship. 'He spoke to Harry a lot in the build-up, but since the interview, nothing.

'He thought they might have had plans to come out to see him by now but he hasn't heard if there are.

He doesn't care if they don't come for a while — he knows how busy they must be — he just wants to know they are coming.

'At the moment he can't go to them; the problems with his heart were real enough. Markle was admitted to the Sharp Chula Vista Medical Centre, just a few miles north of the Mexican border at Tijuana, where a stent was fitted.

The hospital has a specialist unit dedicated to heart and vascular care and proudly boasts a 'history of medical firsts'.

It was here that a doctor told Meghan's relieved father he had reached them just in time after a dye, which was fed into his body through his groin, revealed a critical blockage in an area of the artery known as the 'widow maker' to cardiologists.

According to the friend, the senior doctor told him he would have died had he attempted the gruelling transatlantic flight to make his daughter's wedding.

Markle has been trying to follow doctors' orders since being discharged from hospital with instructions to lose weight, rest and watch what he eats. I understand he has largely given up meat and is eating fresh fish. He has quit smoking, too.

Friends also say he is not the heavy drinker he has been portrayed as. 'Those pictures of him coming out of convenience stores with six-packs of beer are misleading,' says a neighbour.

'He doesn't drink beer, he buys them for the security guards who look after the development where he lives. 'He has a glass of wine but only with dinner. He isn't in good health and he needs to take exercise.'.

Markle hoped the TV interview would 'set the record straight' and show the world that he is not a hermit.

'Tom is well-read and well-travelled, he has been to Europe before, has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Hollywood and is knowledgeable about the royals,' says an acquaintance.

'And when he speaks about Meghan his eyes glow with pride. He's got a 20-year-old Volvo and the back seat is covered with celebrity magazines with Meghan on the cover.'.

Since the interview he has been inundated with big money offers from around the world. 'He is considering what he'll do next. Will he do another interview? He just might.'.

The danger is that if he does it may be the death knell for his relationship with his beloved daughter. Long before the wedding, Harry and Meghan tried to persuade him to come to London and meet the royals.

'Meghan told him just to get on a plane, he didn't even need to pack, everything would be provided for him,' says a friend who speaks to him frequently.

'He said he felt he would just get in the way and he would come nearer the time.

Meghan arranged for suits to be made under a false name by a Beverly Hills tailor and shoes had been ordered from [luxury English shoe manufacturer] Crockett and Jones. He told me he had written his father-of–the-bride speech in good time.'.

Markle also told friends that Prince Harry offered to arrange for an official from the British embassy to be a 'liaison' figure for him — an offer he had declined.

In London this week it was suggested that the royal strategy was to do nothing in the hope that the storm would die down.

In fact, royal advisers have met to discuss what they can possibly do, and there is concern about his long-term health.

One idea was to provide Markle with a property and an allowance, but it was discarded early on. 'There are other Markles out there and it might encourage them to come out of the woodwork,' seems to be the refrain.

Instead, what seems to be inevitable is that if he continues to speak out, Meghan will be forced to distance herself from her father even further.

'She's a royal now — a cultural gulf is opening up between them,' says one figure who has observed the crisis at close hand.

With all their experience of welcoming new blood into the family, the approach to Meghan's father does seem to border on careless.

I understand one Palace aide communicated with Markle only by text message — although that is Thomas's preferred method of conversing, even with his daughter. 'This is new territory for the royals, to have an out-of-control in-law,' says a former courtier.

When Sophie Rhys-Jones married Prince Edward, the Queen went out of her way to welcome her parents into the family, something that continues to this day with the Countess of Wessex's widowed father, Christopher Bournes Rhys-Jones.

The same can be said, up to a point, with the Duchess of Cambridge's parents, Michael and Carole Middleton.

The idea behind royal thinking can be gauged from a remark Prince Philip once made. 'It is much safer to unburden yourself to a member of the family rather than to just a friend,' he declared.

'You see, you are never quite sure. A small indiscretion can lead to all sorts of difficulties.'.

The question is, why wasn't more effort made with Tom Markle? Clearly distance, the seven-hour time difference and Markle's stubborn refusal to accept help have been big contributory factors.

'He's actually not as short of money as has been suggested,' says one Markle source in Mexico.

'He has a decent pension because the studios where he worked are unionised and he did long service, plus he doesn't have any hobbies — certainly not expensive ones. While Markle remains off-line with his daughter, his relationship with website TMZ flourishes.

'They report his views uncut,' says a friend, 'that's why he goes to them. As for royal sensitivities about his comments, his friend says: 'He doesn't understand the protocol, all he wants is to see his daughter and meet his son-in-law.

'The way he sees it, he's the only Markle that counts — and he should count to them.

• Anthem Is Supposedly Bigger Than Mass Effect | BioWare's Biggest Game Yet - Anthem - Duration: 4:34.

So ever since E3, BioWare, the developers of Anthem have been discussing multiple topics

revolving around their upcoming title.

Now if you are a fan of their previous games like Mass Effect, Star Wars or even the Dragon

Age series, well apparently Anthem is going to be BioWare's biggest game yet, which

is saying a lot considering that some of their previous titles were some of the best games

ever made.

During an interview with Game Informer, Anthem's executive producer, Mark Darrah, stated just

how large their upcoming title is.

"This is the biggest thing we've done.

This is the biggest team we've ever had, so it's scary for sure."

Now taking into account that Anthem is a co-operative online game, the world needs to be large.

Players burn through PVE content faster than a fire can burn a cigarette, so therefore

by expanding the scopes of the game, players have far more areas to explore, giving them

more things to do while we take a ride with them on this 10 year long journey.

BioWare has some amazing games under their belt, so coming out saying that Anthem is

going to be bigger than all of them, is a huge statement.

They without a doubt have some big shoes to fill, adding intense pressure amongst the

studio.

Anthem has been in development for a little over 6 years now, implementing lessons from

what they've learnt throughout their experience.

Mark Darrah describes Anthem as this perfect blend of Dragon Age, Mass Effect and The Old

Republic.

Fixing multiple issues they took note of when those games were fairly popular and implementing

the best thing each of those games could bring to the table, into Anthem.

Getting a game ready for launch is only half the work.

Game Informer asked a very relative question to Anthem's lead producer, Mark Gamble.

The question asked if the developers over at BioWare were ready to be flexible, especially

when players finally get their hands on the game and want to see multiple changes implemented

to either flush out a few bugs or balance the game in ways that make it more enjoyable.

Mark Gamble replied with the following statement, "The game will live and breathe with the

fans.

We have to be flexible when we launch, we have to listen to feedback, we have to see

all that stuff.

We have to continue supporting the game in the best way possible.

I think flexibility is the only way but to get us to that point where we launch a great,

high quality, polished game, we have to be focused."

I think Gamble nailed it here.

Too often developers release an unfinished product and expect their customers to enjoy

it.

Perhaps there's not enough content, perhaps the game is just downright unplayable, developers

need to make sure that when their game is released, it's of the highest possible quality

until user feedback is implemented.

At the same time they can't ignore what has been said, the best time to make changes

is now before the game is released because once that game comes out to everyone, players

expect something good.

BioWare can limit the potential backlash that might happen in the future, if they get players

to test the game early.

I'm looking forward to Anthem.

I love the concept of a narrative driven online co-operative RPG.

Playing with friends and enjoying everything the game has to offer is sometimes the best

way to play a game, my only hopes is that everyone is given an equal opportunity to

enjoy it.

So has this recent interview got you more excited or more concerned about BioWare's

upcoming title?

Unfortunately I still think it's far too soon to come up with any conclusions.

Until we finally get our hands on Anthem, we won't truly know what we are getting

seeing that this is something completely new from these developers.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this video, smash that like button if you did and hopefully

I'll see you in the next one.
