Live Dealers in Online Casinos: What You Should Know About Them

Live Dealers in Online Casinos

The appearance of online casinos has not only changed the world of gambling and entertainment but has also led to the appearance of a new profession related to the activity of web establishments, i.e., an online casino dealer. In its essence, the duties of an online casino dealer can be compared to the duties of a croupier in land-based casinos. However, some of their functions differ because they work online.

For players, the possibility to play their favourite games online with a live dealer is a great possibility to enjoy the process of gameplay, as well as the convenience of online casinos. One just needs to find a top live dealer casino in Canada and choose a game. The emotions and excitement are almost equal to those when gambling in a real casino.

Trans Characters in Video Games of Last Year

Lev The Last of Us Part 2

The world of entertainment is changing for the better. More diverse individuals are being included in video games and other media that people consume. One area where we have seen a lot of development is video games. Since this media puts people in charge of their adventures, it’s only natural for trans people to become playable characters or at least those that are interreacted with throughout a story.

How has the representation of trans people in video games changed in recent years?

Trans issues have taken a backseat to other societal issues for much of the early 21st century. Few trans characters have been present in video games, but that is up from zero for much of the history of video games. In recent years, there has been more of a push toward the inclusion of such people to help with representation and to flesh-out worlds in video games to make them feel real.

A Public High School Supports Cosplay as a Hobby for Students: Why?

Cosplay High School Activity

Cosplay has been around for some years and it begins to gain more and more momentum. There are cosplay events that are organized around the world and not only. Dressing up as a character from your favorite book, movie, tv shows, or video game can seem to some people as an activity that does not come with any benefits. But there are many schools, especially from the Philippines that organize school events where students perform and present their costumes. Cosplay is a nice hobby students can have and organizing this kind of event not only in high schools but also in college could be a nice and relaxing activity. But why do some public high schools support cosplay as a hobby for students?

Joker #1 an Amazing Character Study -- of Jim Gordon

Joker #1 2021

The Joker. Since his inception, there's been a charisma to the character that keeps readers coming back. He began as a killer. He evolved into an obsessive criminal who plotted crimes and capers with a theme, and he'd leave a body or two behind. He was a criminal genius with a psychotic focus.

In the years since The Dark Knight Returns, he's become something more -- and something less. He's a mass murderer with an obsession over Batman. Which is supposed to make him more of a monster, but has made him far, far less interesting as a character.

Persistent recurring appearances haven't helped. He's a villain who's overstayed his welcome.

It's Good to be Bad: Crime Syndicate #1

Crime Syndicate #1

The pre-Crisis DC Universe was a maelstrom of imagination, with all the different variant Earths in a multiverse of adventure. One of my favorite Earths was Earth-3, the home of the Crime Syndicate -- a mirror universe where the members of the Justice League were villains, and where corruption was frequently the victor over the meager forces of good.

The Crime Syndicate has gone through a number of iterations since the Crisis -- or, rather, since the New 52 brought back the parallel worlds concept. Grant Morrison's Earth-2 was a structurally beautiful way of contrasting the two worlds (even if it did put them on the wrong titular Earth -- forgiveable as there was not a multiverse at the time and the good/bad mirror universe setting made for a nice balance). In later years Geoff Johns spun the Syndicate into the bad guys in a major story arc in Justice League, modernizing the team to reflect changes in the New 52 team.

What is Poker and Why Do People Love It?

What is Poker?

If you have ever watched a professional poker tournament in real life, on television, or on a streaming platform, you were probably in awe of the professional players. People winning huge sums of cash, jetting around the world wining and dining, staying in fancy hotels, and driving beautiful sports cars. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.

In fact, the majority of people playing poker lose money in the long term. Even professional competitors regularly lose money. This doesn't stop the game from being enjoyable. Poker is about skill, confidence, and being able to judge and analyze others. Yes, you need a bit of luck now and again to win poker games but you will probably notice those with experience and plenty of knowledge of the game will consistently win over time.

Shogun's Joy of Torture not for Weak Hearts

Shogun's Joy of Torture

Arrow Films brings to Blu-ray the horror anthology film Shogun's Joy of Torture by cult film director Teruo Ishii. Made in 1968 at the height of the Japanese "pinkie" films -- the equivalant of America's Grindhouse 42nd Street sleeze and exploitation films of the time. It was a stylized and shocking movie that Toei Films banked on bringing audiences away from their televison sets and back into the theaters to see the imagery that was "too hot" to be shown on any televison at the time (or today for that matter).

Some may summarize this as an historical violent portrayal of crime and punishment from the time period in which it was set. Others may say it is pure torture-porn trash cinema in the vein of directors such as Jess Franco who just throw sex and violence in your face for no reason other then shock value.

DC's Generations Forged: Too Big to be Ignored, Too Bad to be Forgiven

Generations Forged #1

DC Comics' Generations Forged is a handsome book. A big book. It's squarebound and demands a ten-dollar premium for the right to own it. And it looks gorgeous, with a Liam Sharp cover. It even looks good on the inside if you flip through the pages to give them a cursory glance. The imagery evokes the greater moments of DC's vast history -- the Crisis, the Zero Hour, and other iconic events.

Stop there. Let yourself believe that's what this book is. Whatever you do, however badly you're tempted, do not read it. And it pains me beyond measure to say this, because it's written by Dan Jurgens, Robert Venditti, and Andy Schmidt, all of whom should know better than to perpetrate the story elements contained in these pages.
