Again I have had difficulties choosing what to write, after some time thinking I think I am going to go for the simple and also I saw that I am not the only one who did something like this.

I'm going to talk about a youtube channel that I really like and uploads quite a variety of information, "kurzgesagt - in a nutshell" (https://www.youtube.com/user/Kurzgesagt/featured). I found this channel a long time ago and it talks about history, physics, biology, philosophical problems. Although it does not talk so much about chemistry, but about things related to it.

The channel's videos have a vastly interesting format, since they make 2D animations, so that everything looks quite cartoonish, which from my point of view makes some things much easier to understand. They constantly use this format to make the learning process much more enjoyable. But despite this without leaving a relatively reliable place to get information (although generally in a superficial way) and that unlike many others recognize their mistakes, even deleting and redoing a video if it does not have too reliable sources.

One of the things I like the most about this channel (in addition to its own characteristics), is that its videos are entertaining and easy to watch, without being too long or monotonous as it happens with some scientific divulgation channels.

I usually watch it quite often, since sometimes I replay videos to pass the time or simply see the new videos that upload.

The Outers Worlds

As the subject is free, I am going to dedicate the publication to one of the things I have devoted the most time this week and how it has impacted the gamer world. I have been playing "The Outers Worlds" for several hours this week, it is a game that I really liked and that has some relevance in the current world of video games.

Many have called this game a "true Fallout" or simply a "Space Fallout", but why has this happened?

If any of you are minimally involved in the world of video games you have probably played or heard of the "Fallout" saga and how it has been involved in the game after game controversy, especially after the infamous "Fallout 76".

In 2018 "Fallout 76" was made well known in the video game world, but not for good things. This game was developed and distributed by Bethesda, a well-known developer and much loved by his public (until now).The main reason why the game became known was because of how poorly developed it was, to the point of being unplayable and for breaking with all the above seen in its saga.

This causes an important part of their audience become very unhappy and they began to look for a new Fallout experience, which would come from the hand of  Obsidian.

In fact the campaign with which Obsidian published The Outers Worlds, would be with phrases like "from the original creators of Fallout", obviously looking for this unhappy public. Obsidian rescued a lot of the essence of Fallout and took it to space, with a lot of satire and an interesting story.

Although the game is not perfect and has flaws, these can be overlooked especially considering its current competition.

A Photograph (?) that I like

I don't really like taking photos and photographs in general. Because of this i am going to "twists" the "rules" of this bloggs a little and instead of talk about a photo, I am going to talk about a frame of a movie that i really like.

"Inglorius Bastreds" it's a movie directed by Quentin Tarantino relased in 2009, that happens in an alternative world during de second world war. The directon of photograph in this movie is really good and this image is a good example. The photograph in this movie was directed for Robert Richardson, I think what it's okay to give him the autorship of this image.

This image has a very marked baroque style, whit a strong contrast between two of the movie protagonist (Spoiler alert). For one side we can see in the distance a Shosanna Dreyfus, a jewish teenager escaping to freedom, just after all her family died and she is the only survivor, she is runing in a well lit french plain. For the other side we can see a Hans Landa Colonel of  the SS, who just murdered the shosanna's family and now leave the house to try to kill her, both the house and the colonel are in the dark, highlighting the atrocity that just happened and from wich Shosanna is escaping.

I like this image because of this unconvencional frame, full of contrast and that can be given different interpretation of the lighting and colors.
