Become More Creative in the game you play

For context: I’m LVL 295 and have 1463 PVP hours, at the time of writing this.

The entire siege community knows the player MacieJay. He is known for his friendly character, his big brain and creative gameplay. When I watch him stream he usually uses his utility in a way I never thought of. I believe we can all agree that MacieJay is the most creative individual in the Siege community, some might even say he’s a genius.

To define a genius

Just like the siege community, experts in psychology can’t always agree. One of those points of disagreement is the definition of a genius. However, there is a general consensus: “A genius is someone who distinguishes himself from ordinary people by having exceptional insight and creativity.”

But what does this even mean, ordinary people, insight, creativity? Creativity is a process in the mind that generates new responses to situations, which contribute to the solution of a problem. In most papers it’s associated with divergent thinking. If you, for example, take a test to measure your creativity it usually measures the amount of responses (reactions) you can think of. Convergent thinking is the opposite of divergent thinking. This is what you need when you are presented with a problem where there is only one possible way of solving it, which is never the case in Rainbow Six Siege.

A genius isn’t any different

A different approach at the definition of a genius, comes from the psychologist Robert Weisberg. Simply said, he argues that geniuses are especially good in solving problems and that they possess certain useful, but very human, qualities.

In his vision, the way a genius thinks is actually the same as that of ordinary people, people without mental issues. Thinking could be defined as the mental process that is involved with forming new mental images by changing the available information. Basically it’s an activity where we use the information that is available to us. We do this by using concepts and schemata.

Concepts and Schemata

Concepts are the way we use our past experiences to process new ones. Just imagine if we couldn’t do this, how different playing siege, or life in general would be. Every time having to figure out where to go or what to do. Luckily this is not the case.

Schemata are the way we form expectations or come to conclusions. For instance, if you’re loading up rainbow six siege, the word border will probably make you think of the map Border. If you’re on your way to a different country, it would probably make you think about the kind of border that separates two countries. However for someone who is about to buy a house the word border would probably make them think about the edge alongside the property.

New information that’s incomplete or ambiguous receives meaning if you can connect it to existing information from already existing expectations and conclusions. This helps you to fill up missing information.

To illustrate: I was in a match on bank and my random teammate called “In cash!” As far as my knowledge goes, there is no cash room on bank, we were defending top floor. So I asked, do you mean stock, and he said yes.

In this instance I filled up the ambiguous information of my teammates call, by using my schemes about the map bank, especially the top floor, to come to the conclusion that he must have meant the stock trading room. If we would be defending basement I would might think of the cash vault, but this was not the case.

Insight

To be able to become as creative as MacieJay, you have to know as much as Macie does about the game mechanics. You can make it easier for yourself, by putting them into sub categories, like explosives, the gadget of ash and zofia are very simillar, so what I can do with ash, I can probably do with zofia as well.

A research performed in 2008 stated that it would take you 10 years or 10.000 hours in order to become an expert within a certain field, this could be Rainbow six siege, psychology, or even things like writing a blog. You need a lot of motivation to put this much time and effort into learning something.

Born to become a genius

When you want to become a creative genius, expertise and motivation is not enough. You also need certain personality traits, that you’re arguably born with. The traits are independence, strong interest in a problem, willingness to restructure the problem, preference for complexity and a need for stimulating interactions. Exceptionally creative minds resist the social pressure to think in a certain way. With other words, they have the confidence to go their own way.

You can’t become a creative genius in siege if you don’t have a preference for complexity, smart people are always looking for the most complex problems to solve. It’s a challenge they love solving, it’s cool and fun to find a new way to deal with problems. This is the reason why, I think, Macie doesn’t enjoy other FPS games as much as he does Rainbow.

The importance of community

The greatest creative ideas get almost always sparked by an interaction between two exceptionally creative people. So if you want to become as creative as possible, find other people within the community to play with, to talk about problems you encounter, or just talk about the game in general. This is why events like the Six Invitational are so much fun, you get to talk to a lot of different members of the community about one and the same thing, Rainbow Six Siege.

The conclusion is that you need a lot of knowledge about the game, and that you should not care about other peoples opinions, you need to be motivated to learn more and to put a lot of time and effort into the game if you want to become a rainbow six player with 2000 IQ and a big brain.

Also if you have any questions, i would love to answer them, so feel free to ask them in the AMA section or on my twitter @BotRecoil

(Thanks @arsenicpanda! I went with 37!)

“You did a wonderful job convincing people that you love me, I almost fell for it.”

Betty brushes the remains of a too-thickly iced sugar cookie from her lips, forcing the lump in her throat to go down the correct pipe. She runs her tongue over her teeth, turning her head up from the garish Christmas platter on the buffet to look at Jughead.

He’s fiddling with a gingerbread cookie next to her, and she can tell from his posture that he’s tired of this—of today. And it’s only just the beginning.

“Of course,” she bumps him with her elbow. “That was kind of the point, wasn’t it?”

Only, he doesn’t answer her, not in so many words. He glances up, and his gaze feels weighted, the intensity pulling on her stomach until it drops uncomfortably.

She looks over her shoulder to where his family and their guests are still congregated in the living room and spilling into the dining and kitchen rooms — she can see Jellybean twirling in a circle with two of her cousins in front of the Christmas tree, the way Gladys sucks on the end of a candy cane while tucked under FP’s shoulder on the couch, their grandfather hunkered in a recliner with several empty bottles of beer at his feet. Then there's Sweet Pea and Fangs, wearing leather jackets that she's sure she glimpsed in the back of Jughead's closet before — they're snapping candy canes and flicking them at someone named Mad Dog. Archie is with his girlfriend, Veronica, at the kitchen island sipping on hot cider with the Sheriff of all people.

He laid it out for her quite simply, after bribing and begging and baiting her to agree under the pretense of doing her best friend a favor — pretend to be his girlfriend for Christmas, so he wouldn’t have to go home alone over the break.

Though, Betty supposed, it was easy to play a part you always wanted. And who would she be if she didn’t live up to her high-school superlative of best to bring home to meet your parents?

“It’s just...” His fingers come up to pinch at the bridge of his nose, nails scratching up over his forehead and beneath his beanie. The action loosens a curly lock of hair and she can’t help it when her fingers reach up to tug on the end before tucking it back away. “I liked—like it.”

She freezes, fingers just barely brushing his temple. “That’s—” his hand curls around her wrist and her fingers skim the length of his cheek as her arm drifts down. “That’s okay. I mean, it wouldn’t do if you hated it.”

Jughead sighs as he steps close enough for her to practically taste the chocolate scent wafting from him. Betty’s insides tighten and she can feel want pooling in her, dripping from top to bottom like vicious honey. “I didn’t hate it by a long shot. In fact,” he takes a shuddering breath, “I wish it didn’t have to end.”

Her fingers are curling in the collar of his sweater now, until she’s fisting the cable-knit between her fingers. “Why?” she asks in a whisper, as his hand slides from her wrist to elbow, then across the distance to her waist. His fingers press warmly against her skin through the cotton of her blouse — the one she painstakingly searched for across three Macy’s before finding it in the burgundy that matched his olive green like the poster for Christmas itself.

“Why?” he echoes, wondrously, “Why would I want to go back to being nothing to you, when now I know what everything feels like?”

Betty blinks slowly, watches his gaze fall to her parted lips. They kissed earlier, under the mistletoe and she can still feel the ghost of his lips slanting against her own. She wonders if perhaps they don’t need the guise of mistletoe — pretending is needless when they can simply want.

She feels him tip his head closer and his lips nearly touch her own before she wraps her hand around his wrist. Turning, she tugs him behind her across the room and toward the stairs. Glancing to the living room, she sees JB eye them impishly, before putting on a bright smile and capturing the attention of the rest of the family.

They pad up the stairs, quiet movements until she can shove Jughead in his room and shut the door behind them with an exhale. Beside her feet is the duffle she brought, her pair of snow boots tucked neatly against the rest of his own shoes. She wasn’t nearly as ready to face the rest of the week as she is now.

“Betty…”

She shakes her head, reaching towards him to slip her fingers around his jaw. “Just kiss me.”

“There’s no one around—”

“That’s the point, you idiot.” Her eyes roll upward, and Betty pulls on his chin while lifting to her toes.

Their lips meet and it’s still unfamiliar and new and her spine tingles with the realization that she wants to kiss him forever.

Jughead relaxes within a few seconds, hands flitting to her hips and then his thumbs are beneath the hem of her top, pressing in against the bare skin of her hips. He swallows her sigh greedily, lips pressing more firmly and fleeting all at the same time.

The push and pull has her feeling warm, like sunshine bleeding out from her chest. There’s a swarm of butterflies camping out in her belly and her eyelashes flutter just the same. She wonders why it’s never felt like this with anyone else.

Then he steps forward, walking her backwards until she can feel the cool wood of the door between her shoulders. She slides her fingers into his hair, scratching at his scalp and gripping lightly at the root. He makes a noise, low in his throat that rumbles through to her chest.

Betty grasps at his shoulder with her free hand, pulling him even closer until he slots a knee between her thighs and her head knocks back with a quiet thud. He nips at her lower lip, sweeping his tongue over the bite before tilting her head with a nuzzle of his nose. He presses his lips to her jaw, her throat, the place below her ear.

“Jug—” She groans, fingers reaching beneath his beanie before she decides to toss it to the floor altogether. Her fingers glide much easier. Though she isn’t sure she's ever seen him without the hat, she can’t quite manage to keep her eyes open when his teeth and tongue are finding all the places along her neck that make her feel like the setting sun — warm oranges, pinks, and reds. Her mind is hazy, like she’d had more than just a sip of the spiked eggnog. “Please.”

“Please — what?” His breath fans over her neck, teeth tugging on the lobe of her ear and she squirms against his thigh. His fingers are spreading over the skin of her stomach and hips, climbing the ladder of her ribs in a slow sweep.

“Touch me.”

Dastardly Deeds

If you happened to find yourself wandering around New York in the late Sixties, especially if you were up near the Columbia University campus, chances are good you might have encountered the graffito “George Metesky Was Here” spray painted on walls and sidewalks and store fronts. Even if you had seen it, though, chances are equally good it made no impression. Most people who saw the cliched slogan likely thought little of it, assuming it had been left by some poor, desperate soul named George Metesky in a pathetic bid for attention.” But those people would’ve been wrong on two counts.

First, although Metesky was still alive at the time, the graffitos had been left by a radical activist named Sam Melville, not Metesky himself. And second, as pathetic and desperate as Metesky may have been, he had more important things to do than spray paint his own name on walls all over Manhattan.

Sam Melville, who detonated eight pipe bombs in government and corporate office buildings around Manhattan in 1969, is today remembered as one of the radical Left’s first bomb makers of the late Sixties, presaging the likes of the Weathermen and the Armed Resistance Unit. He was eventually arrested, convicted, and shipped off to Attica, where he died in the 1971 uprising. Even though Metesky had no apparent interest in politics, radical Left or otherwise, he was still Melville’s hero and role model. After you learn a bit about Metesky’s story, you have to wonder why, exactly, Melville latched onto him instead of, say, an early 20th century explosives maestro like anarchist Mario Boda, but there you go.

Metesky was born in Connecticut in 1903. In his teens, he enlisted in the Marines and was shipped off to the U.S. consulate in Shanghai, where he served as an electrician. When his stint was up, he returned to the States and moved in with his two sisters in Waterbury, Connecticut. He also took a job as a mechanic with Consolidated Edison.

By 1930, Metesky had been assigned to ConEd’s Hellgate generating plant. While he was wiping down a generator one day in September of 1931, a nearby boiler exploded. Not only was Metesky blown to the ground, but he inhaled a plume of scalding, noxious gas which seared his lungs. He lay on the plant’s cement floor for hours, he said, receiving no medical assistance whatsoever. As he would later claim, breathing those industrial fumes resulted in a case of pneumonia which then developed into tuberculosis, leaving him bedridden and unable to work.

After Metesky collected six months worth of sick pay, ConEd terminated his employment. His worker’s compensation claim was denied because he’d missed the filing deadline. Three subsequent appeals of the decision were also denied, in part thanks to testimony delivered by three former co-workers, who, perhaps with some encouragement from ConEd brass, insisted Metesky’s injuries weren’t as bad as he claimed. Metesky, who was only 33 when his final appeal was denied, suddenly found himself sickly, unemployable, and very, very angry.

Five years later, it’s safe to say that everyone at ConEd had completely forgotten about George Metesky. George Metesky, however, had not forgotten about them. On the morning of November 16th, 1940, he placed a small pipe bomb inside a wooden toolbox, strolled into a ConEd substation on West 64th St. in Manhattan, and left it on a windowsill.

It was a primitive device, just a short length of brass pipe packed with gunpowder with a sugar and battery detonator. Such bombs rarely detonate as planned, which may be a moot point, as Metesky’s was discovered before anything happened. That may have been at least partially intentional, as wrapped around the bomb was a slip of paper. In a block-lettered handwriting (which would become familiar to investigators in later years) he’d written:

“CON EDISON CROOKS – THIS IS FOR YOU.”

The would-be bomb was shrugged off by the ConEd crooks, and ignored by everyone else. The same was true nearly a year later, in September of 1941, when another bomb with a similar design was found on the sidewalk several blocks away from the Irving Place building that housed ConEd’s headquarters. There was no note, the bomb did not explode, and few gave it a thought.

Despite two duds which made no mark whatsoever on the public consciousness (let alone ConEd), Metesky apparently had a grossly inflated sense of the impact he was having. That would explain the note received by a (very confused) NYPD shortly after the U.S. entered WWII in December of 1941. Metesky, an ex-Marine, wrote in that same block lettering:

“I WILL MAKE NO MORE BOMB UNITS FOR THE DURATION OF THE WAR – MY PATRIOTIC FEELINGS HAVE MADE ME DECIDE THIS – LATER I WILL BRING THE CON EDISON TO JUSTICE – THEY WILL PAY FOR THEIR DASTARDLY DEEDS... F.P.”

The “FP” signature was a mysterious new addition, but what’s not to love about someone who, apparently in all seriousness, uses the term “dastardly deeds”? The NYPD promptly filed the letter away in their “Crank Letters from Would-Be Cartoon Villains” drawer.

Metesky meant what he said about laying low in deference to the war effort, however, waiting an entire decade before planting his next bomb, satisfying himself in the interim by sending angry notes in ALL CAPS to ConEd and the cops. When he did finally get around to planting bombs again in 1951, two things had changed. First, his designs had grown slightly more sophisticated, meaning this next generation of pipe bombs actually exploded most of the time. And second, although at heart ConEd was still his target, the actual placement of the bombs had become decidedly more random. Also, whether it was intentional or the result of an increasingly unstable Metesky merely losing track, throughout the 1950s he bombed several buildings multiple times.

In March of 1951, the first of Metesky’s pipe bombs to actually detonate was dropped in a trash can outside the Grand Central Oyster Bar on the first level of Grand Central Station. No one was injured. About three weeks later he blew up a phone booth in the New York Public Library, followed by another phone booth in Grand Central.

Between 1951 and 1956, he blew up several phone booths, bathrooms, storage lockers and trash cans. He left bombs in the subway, the RCA building, Macy’s, and several movie theaters. He hit the New York Public Library twice, Grand Central five times, Radio City three times, the Port Authority twice, and Penn Station five times. He also finally got one inside ConEd headquarters, and tried mailing another to his nemesis, though it turned out to be a dud.

In most cases he would place a warning call to the targeted building in question, letting them know there was a bomb on the premises so the building could be evacuated. Considering the minimal damage his bombs generally caused, it’s also conceivable he made the warning calls to let people in the targeted buildings know the loud “bang” they thought they heard in the bathroom was in fact a terrorist attack.

Sadly for Metesky, despite all his hard work the NYPD dismissed his reign of terror as merely the work of juvenile delinquent pranksters. The press didn’t treat him any better, if they took any notice at all. These were, after all, very small pipe bombs.

Perhaps out of frustration, in October of 1951 he mailed a letter to the New York Herald Tribune which read:

“BOMBS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE CONSOLIDATED EDISON COMPANY IS BROUGHT TO JUSTICE FOR THEIR DASTARDLY ACTS AGAINST ME. I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OTHER MEANS. I INTEND WITH BOMBS TO CAUSE OTHERS TO CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE FOR ME.”

You do have to feel sorry for Medesky. After being fucked over by ConEd, and after learning all the usual channels of redress were stacked against him, he was forced to take drastic measures. But try as he might, even then he was ignored. He was nobody. All he wanted was a little attention, for someone to listen to his gripe. He clearly wasn’t out to hurt people—he just wanted a little justice. You can sense his growing aggravation in a follow-up letter to the Herald Tribune, which arrived in late December:

“HAVE YOU NOTICED THE BOMBS IN YOUR CITY – IF YOU ARE WORRIED, I AM SORRY – AND ALSO IF ANYONE IS INJURED. BUT IT CANNOT BE HELPED – FOR JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED. I AM NOT WELL, AND FOR THIS I WILL MAKE THE CON EDISON SORRY – YES, THEY WILL REGRET THEIR DASTARDLY DEEDS – I WILL BRING THEM BEFORE THE BAR OF JUSTICE – PUBLIC OPINION WILL CONDEMN THEM – FOR BEWARE, I WILL PLACE MORE UNITS UNDER THEATER SEATS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. F.P.”

Finally, the NYPD and others began putting the pieces together. Yes, as a matter of fact, there had been more bombings than usual in the city these past months, hadn’t there? And if these letters were any proof, the man responsible was completely bonkers. Sounds like he has some kind of beef with ConEd, but hey, who doesn’t?

Still, it says something that in November of 1954, a bomb Metesky had sewn into the cushion of a seat in Radio City Music Hall exploded as a sold out house of over 6,000 people watched a screening of White Christmas. Three people sitting near the seat in question were mildly injured and taken to the first aid station, 50 other people in the immediate vicinity were asked to move to different seats, and the rest were allowed to continue enjoying the film and the state show that followed. Only after the audience filed out an hour and a half later did cops move in to start collecting evidence. Bombs had been going off all over Manhattan for three years, but they were still being treated like backfiring cars or manhole fires.

It was only in 1956, after an elderly bathroom attendant at Penn Station and an audience member at the Paramount theater in Brooklyn were seriously injured that Metesky’s bombing campaign finally received the kind of banner headlines he’d been after. After years of trying, he’d finally been recognized in the tabloids as “The Mad Bomber.”

Suddenly under pressure from newspapers and the public, NYPD captain John Cronin publicly announced, perhaps tongue-in cheek, that he was launching “the largest manhunt the city’s police department had ever undertaken” to capture the Mad Bomber. He even created the NYPD’s first Bomb Investigation unit.

Although none of the hundreds of officers working the case were able to come up with a single solid clue, the campaign did have one immediate effect. Suddenly people all over the city began turning in neighbors and co-workers they felt had been behaving strangely. And the number of delusional types anxious to take credit for the bombing spree jumped precipitously. The cops found they were spending far more time and manpower fending off the cranks and crackpots than they were actually trying to find the bomber.

Essentially on a whim given nothing else was happening, Cronin contacted the assistant commissioner of the New York State Commission for Mental Hygiene, James A. Brussel, and asked if he had any ideas. Brussel, a psychiatrist and criminologist, agreed to take a look at the evidence to see what he could glean. Apart from the obvious—that the bomber was a paranoid with a serious gripe against ConEd—he also produced what is considered among the first )non-fictional) examples of criminal profiling.

Brussel came up with a 13-point list of attributes investigators should be looking for in a suspect, which in retrospect turned out to be surprisingly accurate. The bomber, he said, would likely be a male in his forties. He’d be of medium build, a good and meticulous worker, probably of Slavic origin. He was likely a loner with no wife, not much interest in women, living in Connecticut with an older sister. He was on the arrogant side, and probably didn’t respond well to criticism. And oh, when he was arrested he would likely be wearing a buttoned double-breasted suit.

(It’s unclear how he came up with that last one.)

At Brussels suggestion, the NYPD distributed the profile to all the local papers, asking them to give it a big push. The thinking was, if there was anything in the profile Brussel got horribly wrong, the Mad Bomber, being an arrogant paranoid, would feel compelled to step forward to insist on a correction. So on Christmas Day, 1956, the profile was plastered across the front pages of every paper in town.

The next day, the New York Journal-American (in cooperation with the cops) took it a step further, running a front-page plea directly to the Mad Bomber, asking that he turn himself in, promising not only that he’d get a fair trial, but that the paper would publish his side of the story.

The ploy worked about as well as could’ve been hoped. The very next day, December 27th, Metesky’s response arrived at the Journal-American’s offices:

“My days on earth are numbered – most of my adult life has been spent in bed – my one consolation is – that I can strike back – even from my grave – for the dastardly acts against me.”

He also included a detailed list of all the places he’d planted bombs thus far (some of which hadn’t been found yet), and stated he had no intention of giving himself up. The note, as usual, was signed “FP.”

Now that they had him on the hook, the cops and the Journal-American decided to play him a little. They ran his letter along with another plea that he explain a bit more clearly how his beef with ConEd arose.

Unable to resist now that he finally had an audience, Metesky immediately wrote back, explaining he’d been left permanently disabled because of a workplace injury while employed by ConEd, and that they’d refused his worker’s compensation claim.

“When a motorist injures a dog – he must report it – not so with an injured workman – he rates less than a dog – I tried to get my story to the press – I tried hundreds of others – I typed tens of thousands of words (about 800,000) – nobody cared – [...] – I determined to make these dastardly acts known – I have had plenty of time to think – I decided on bombs.”

A quarter century after the fact, having finally found an audience eager to hear his story, Medesky couldn’t stop himself, and penned yet another letter. He wrote at length about the circumstances surrounding his injury and his fight for worker’s comp, including the exact date the accident took place. The letter contained pretty much every bit of information any detective worth a damn would need, save for Metesky’s full name and a map to his house.

Well, despite ConEd’s best efforts to block access to their employment files, a clerk named Alice Kelly took it upon herself to do a little digging through the worker’s comp cases, eventually stumbling upon Metesky’s file, which had been clearly labeled “permanently disabled.” The real tip-off, though, were the letters from Metesky included in the file, many of which used the term “dastardly deeds.”

Around midnight on January 21st, 1957, a group of NYPD and Waterbury officers showed up on Metesky’s front step. He seemed to have been expecting them. He let them in, answered their questions, gave them a writing sample, showed them his workshop and all his bomb making tools, and explained that “FP” stood for “Fair Play.” When the officers sent him upstairs to get dressed for the drive to the station where he’d be booked, Metesky—and you saw this coming—returned a few minutes later in a buttoned-down double-breasted suit.

Over the course of seventeen years, Metesky planted 33 bombs around New York, 22 of which detonated. A handful of people were injured, but no one was killed. Given his motivation, you have to believe he was looking foerrward to a trial in which he’d be able to air his grievances with ConEd in a public forum that would undoubtedly receive a mountain of press coverage. And looking back now, you have to believe both the press and a jury would be sympathetic to the poor schlub’s plight. No doubt ConEd realized this too.

Before the proceedings got underway in the spring of 1957, though, a judge declared Metesky legally insane and unfit to stand trial. So there went his public forum. On April 18th, 1957, Medesky was remanded to the Matteawan Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Given the state of his health, it was expected he wouldn’t last six months.

In December, 1973, having been determined to no longer be a threat to anyone, the still very much alive 70-year-old Metesky was released. He returned home to Waterbury, where he lived a quiet life until his death in 1994 at age 90.

While he was institutionalized, the Journal-American retained a worker’s compensation attorney in an attempt to get Metesky’s claim re-opened. The hope was they might be able to force ConEd to cough up the decades worth of back pay Metesky was owed. The appeal was denied.

Gran Premio Italia (2nd stage), Egna

Just stopping by to quickly yell about Gran Premio Italia. ... I love Matteo Rizzo. I love him.

MEN

The jumps were very moody for the guys in the SP. Poor Mattia dalla Torre, especially. But! His step sequence in the Step out for a while SP is really interesting. The next competitior was Alessandro Fadini and he was returning to a competition after a year-long absence due to an injury and he seemed happy with the skate to Two feet so we are happy!

I’m really not a fan of Daniel Grassl’s Muse SP... But sure he does jump. Quad lutz here and there...

[And yes I know it’s not fair to think that but I can’t help it: while watching Daniel I’m just kind of sad because of Matteo. Because Daniel seems to be jumping with such ease, seems to be so comfortable, not being nervous. And I know how much Matteo tries and wants to succeed. And I want to see him on top of Europe, fighting with the guys from Russia and meanwhile he’s just fighting to be number one in Italy. (sorry for the rant, I just love Matteo too much...)]

Matteo Rizzo is poetry on ice. What can I say. My favourite (currently competing) skater skating to my favourite singer ever. (Andrea Bocelli - Romanza). I cannot be not biased. I love it 😭

The free program went really well! Jumps were mostly behaving and the guys showed great performances. I was so happy about Mattia dalla Torre’s redemption skate and his In this shirt FP. All the jumps were clean! He did a beautiful 3A to start the program. It’s just a beautiful program overall.

Though I don’t know maybe I liked Alessandro Fadini’s Caruso even a bit more or at least equally as much. I loved the long spiral and give me alllll the illusion spins you can. And he was so happy in the k&c, you have to be happy for him.

Besides the fact, that I really like men skating in suits I absolutely looooove story-telling programs. I’m here all for Gabriele Frangipani’s Peaky blinders FP. The choreography is so entertaining.

Matteo seemed to be enjoying his The Greatest showman program so much. The facial expressions. The energy. The whole attitude. I can’t ask for more (maybe for the 4T to fully come back)... I don’t like this program very much, but I don’t care, as long as he’s happy. And I’m so relieved because yesterday I was quite sad, even though it was not a bad skate at all. I was just comparing him with Daniel so much. And here in the free, Matteo was only ten points behind! Everything’s possible. I believe in him, I believe that he gained some much needed confidence here and I’m just already looking forward to see Matteo again!

I have to admit that Daniel’s choices of music and my taste did not meet this season at all. I’d love to support the guy, he has great spins, he jumps with ease, seems very nice, I have nothing against him, I have everything against the choreo though. He deserved to win, I’m perfectly ok with that. But he also deserves much better programs. (Have you seen the weird leg holding??? I don’t even want to know what’s that suppossed to mean...)

PAIRS

In pairs we finally saw Nicole della Monica & Matteo Guarise, they have a new SP and it’s beautiful. They really are ready to fight again for the top positions in Europe (after being absent from competitons for almost a year).

I really enjoyed Sara Conti/Niccolo Macii’s SP to Oblivion. They were told last week that they would skate in this event because another pair withdrew and they skated so well. If I understood it correctly, this is their second season skating together... and I’m really really impressed. And I loved hearing Ondřej Hotárek praise their FP so much.

In my opinion in pairs it’s the most difficult - out of the four disciplines - to really perform a program, to really skate to the music and to really express a story or the emotions and not just have the music as a background support. You really can’t do that in ice dance but in pairs maybe it’s sometimes the case. But certainly not this skate. This was beautifully interpreted and performed from the beginning to the end.

I also like Rebecca Ghilardi/Filipo Ambrosini’s FP to Grande Amore so much. But this wasn’t their day. However, they had a good SP yesterday, great skate at the first stage of Gran premio Italia so it should be ok.

And I hope we’ll see some ice dance next time!

for each muse, is there a character you wish had a blog so you could interact with them?

ASKS FOR MUNS OF MULTIMUSES ( ACCEPTING )

FOR MY ARCHIE HORROR MUSES: fp jones in the hungerverse. or jb. or even an archie. or a reggie. or a vampronica. literally anyone from archie horror i beg. also i really want a veronica and a jug and an archie to write against toni pls.

FOR FAITH: i’d really love a buffy to write and develop a modern day buffy verse together with. or an angel or a giles. or the mayor. from go ask malice, would love to write with a tommy or killian.

FOR CARMILLA MUSES: honestly the obvious answer is a laura, but i’d rather just find another carmilla to write against oops. or kirsch. but in general i’d be feral for a group verse or people who want to write in the carmilla universe because i think silas is so fun. also danny needs summers to write agains.

FOR CHARMED MUSES: hello @cravesfreedom pls finish catching up and make ellie write macy i am waiting. mel needs her sister and abigael needs to be gay and not fixated on henry this is my villain origin story.

FOR GOSSIP GIRL MUSES: okay so i took eric off my muse list but i love him and want people to write with my older eric pls.

FOR LEGACIES MUSES: i want to test josie out so bad so anyone! but also can someone write kaleb and mg with me. also like write the dynamic we almost got with landon and raf. or just acknowledge the complex feelings of the boy who still has a lot of good to do with me.

FOR KADY ORLOFF DIAZ: i am spoiled and write with two of the best julias in the world. and steph writes an amazing penny and anna writes a bomb marina. but it could be cool to write her with hedge witches she helps in the future. also can like..... a faith lehane please write against her because i would literally...... w h e w

FOR EMMA DUVAL: a jake or a (very platonic) eli. i love survivor’s guilt.

FOR BRIDGET VREELAND: LITERALLY ANY OF THE OTHER SEPTEMBERS LITERALLY ITS ALL I WANT FUCK U FUCK YOU also can any quinn fabray write against bridget literally i am begin or like.... lowkey dramatic gg secret twin au with serena like that would be wild.

PLS watch the most recent SNL macy's ad. halice is the bickering "YOU DON'T WEAR JEANS TO CHURCH!" hermione and veronica are "welcome to being a woman kylie" sierra and josie are "you have to tell mommy when you have to go." fred can't fit archie in his carseat with his jacket. the lodges are also "DADDY'S A DUMBASS!" tom and baby kevin are the absurd onesie & loaded diaper. cheryl cries about her shirt not having the red queen on it. fp lost jug bc he couldn't see his face under all the layers.

my god. I don't know what any of this means but I will look it up when I get home and report back.

What's FP doing this Thanksgiving?

he’s having a very festive thanksgiving at his boyfriends house i am happy to report. he’s of course not allowed in the kitchen for fear of him burning the whole house down so instead he parks his butt on the couch and watches the macys parade and then football. what team is he rooting for? the fuck if i know i dont care about any of the teams playing tomorrow (although the bears are playing tomorrow and what a wholesome visual that is of mary being over and fp rooting for the lions just to bust her balls. mary and fp have football rivalries now i have decided - but like hes lowkey rooting for the bears too)

he definitely keeps sneaking in to the kitchen throughout the day to pick at whatever foods out and to give fred kisses

theres allotted time for a family game of football. in the yard. fp and archie vs fred and jughead. its a very uneven fight but fp refuses to switch it up cuz he thinks its hilarious. marys the ref but occasionally switches with fred.

and then at the end of the evening everyone gathers in the living room to watch the charlie brown thanksgiving special. fp is filled to the brim with turkey and pie and stuffing and whatever the hell else people eat at thanksgiving. he has to unbutton his pants. did you need that information idk but i sure did.

theres a facetime session with gladys and jellybean at some point. they promise to be there for christmas. its all very wholesome and life is great the end.

Zapowiedź Back 4 Blood od twórców Left 4 Dead

Jeśli Back 4 Blood skojarzyło wam się z Left 4 Dead, to słusznie. Pod tą nazwą kryje się nowa produkcja od studia Turtle Rock, twórców serii kochanej przez tysiące graczy na całym świecie. Oba tytuły są krótkie, o twardym brzmieniu i z czwórką w środku. Oba także skupiają się na walce z zombie. Jest to ogromnie ważna informacja dla wszystkich osób, które od lat czekają na pojawienie się Left 4 Dead 3, chociaż Back 4 Blood, pomijając tematykę, jest absolutną nowością i będzie opowiadać o nowych bohaterach w świeżym stylu.

Współpracę z Turtle Rock Studio nad tytułem podjął oddział Warner Bros zajmujący się grami, czyli Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Szef oddziału, David Haddad, wypowiedział się zarówno o Back 4 Blood, jak i o samym studiu, w samych superlatywach:

Cieszymy się, że możemy współpracować ze sprawdzonym zespołem Turtle Rock nad Back 4 Blood, aby rozwinąć gatunek zombie kooperacji z innowacyjną rozgrywką multiplayer. Utalentowany zespół w Turtle Rock od dawna opracowuje niesamowite gry, a to jest wielka szansa pracy z nimi, by wykreować nowe uniwersum, stworzone specjalnie z myślą o społeczności uwielbiającej strzelanki z kooperacją w świecie zombie.

Z kolei współzałożyciele Turtle Rock Studios cieszą się z powrotu do korzeni i zapewniają o wysokiej jakości Back 4 Blood:

Wracamy do gatunku, który narodził się w naszym studiu, z ponad dziesięcioletnim doświadczeniem i pomysłami [na zombie], które rozwalają nam mózgi. Mamy też jednych z najlepszych partnerów w biznesie w WBIE, którzy rozumieją nasze procesy twórcze i są równie zaangażowani w mentalność stawiającą na pierwszym miejscu graczy. Jesteśmy wniebowzięci, bo możemy to teraz ogłosić i rozpocząć od razu współpracę ze społecznością.

- Chris Ashton

Nie spoczywamy na laurach z przeszłości. Naszym celem jest zebranie wszystkiego, czego się nauczyliśmy, i pchnięcie tego naprzód. Wiemy, że to trudne zadanie. Znacznie powiększamy zespół, ponieważ podchodzimy do największego wyzwania w historii tego studia. Zdajemy sobie sprawę z tego, że ten tytuł musi się wyróżniać i zamierzamy to osiągnąć w pełni.

- Phil Robb

Dodatkowo przetłumaczyłam średniej długości FAQ zamieszczone na podstronie studia.

Co to jest Back 4 Blood?

Back 4 Blood to FPS z kooperacją o tematyce zombie, jednak o konkretnych cechach gry nie jesteśmy jeszcze gotowi rozmawiać. Bądźcie czujni i wypatrujcie wszystkich newsów na naszym oficjalnym Discordzie.

Jak zamierzacie się wybić na tle obecnych i nadchodzących tytułów AAA o zombie i kooperacyjnych strzelanek?

Wracamy do swoich korzeni, jednocześnie wdrażając w nie innowacje. Wiemy, że musimy się postarać, ale zamierzamy zrobić wszystko, żeby przebić to, co zrobiliśmy do tej pory.

Jaka jest historia / tło narracyjne w tej grze?

Z czasem udostępnimy więcej informacji. Teraz po prostu cieszymy się tym, że możemy podzielić się z naszą społecznością, nad czym pracujemy!

Na jakich platformach znajdzie się Back 4 Blood?

Obecnie koncentrujemy się na PC, XBOX One i PlayStation 4. Jednakże nie wykluczamy innych możliwości.

Co stało się z waszą inną grą / partnerstwem?

Nie będziemy wchodzić w detale, ale obie strony postanowiły pójść w innym kierunku.

Ile będzie kosztować gra?

Nie doprecyzowaliśmy jeszcze ceny, lecz gra będzie tytułem premium z półki AAA.

Czy w grze będą mikrotransakcje?

Jak na razie skupiamy się na tworzeniu najlepszej, sprawiającej najwięcej frajdy i ekscytującej gry, jaką tylko jesteśmy w stanie zrobić. Pewne rzeczy ogarniemy po wprowadzeniu jej na rynek, ale jeśli zrobimy jakiś dodatkowy i płatny content w stylu mikrotransakcji, to chcielibyśmy, aby nasza społeczność nie miała nic przeciwko temu.

Czy to jest Left 4 Dead 3?!

Nie. Back 4 Blood to nasza nowa i oryginalna własność intelektualna. Będziecie mogli zabijać dużo zombie, jak w Left 4 Dead, ale dostarczymy też rzeczy, które wyróżnią Back 4 Blood i sprawią, że gra będzie wyjątkowa.

Jaka jest data premiery?

Nie mamy jeszcze daty. Obserwujcie nasz oficjalny kanał na Discordzie, żeby być na bieżąco z newsami.

Czy to będzie gra Battle Royale?

Nie. *uff*

Czy będzie PVP?

Tak!

Czy będzie kampania?

Tak!

Gdzie jest Evolve 2? Jak śmiecie!

Prawa do Evolve posiada 2K, a nasz kontrakt na pracę nad grą wygasł w 2016 roku. Prosimy o skontaktowanie się z 2K, aby otrzymać odpowiedzi na podobne pytania.

Czy będą dostępne pakiety premium (founders pack) w przedsprzedaży?

To jest zbyt wczesny etap produkcji, a naszym celem numer jeden jest stworzenie świetnej, kompletnej i zabawnej gry, więc skupiamy się właśnie na tym.

Kiedy społeczność będzie mogła zagrać?

Nie mamy jeszcze daty. Obserwujcie nas na Discordzie, żeby być na bieżąco.

Macie nam mało do powiedzenia, dlaczego więc ogłaszacie grę akurat teraz?

Back 4 Blood to ogromnie ambitny projekt i potrzebujemy najlepszych z najlepszych, by do nas dołączyli. Jako studio niezależne musimy dbać o to, żeby na rynku wiedziano, że planujemy coś dużego. Jeśli siedzisz w branży gier i chcesz wnieść realny wkład w nowy tytuł AAA, opracowywany w Południowej Karolinie, sprawdź nas. Nasze oferty pracy są dostępne tutaj: https://www.turtlerockstudios.com/careers. Więcej pojawi się w kolejnym roku. Chcemy także informacji od was, co sądzicie o grach, które zrobiliśmy w przeszłości i czego byście oczekiwali w przyszłości. Uwielbiamy wchodzić w interakcję z naszą społecznością i im szybciej możemy to zrobić, tym lepiej!

Nie wiem, jak wy, ale ja jestem ogromnie podekscytowana i z pewnością będę wypatrywać wszelkich newsów. Dobrze, że twórcy Left 4 Dead wzięli sprawy w swoje ręce i sami postanowili zaspokoić głód na DOBRE gry o zombie. Jestem przekonana, że otrzymają mnóstwo wsparcia z każdej strony i oddadzą w nasze ręce wysokiej jakości produkt, grywalny na długie lata.

Do następnego!
