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.

My favorite movie.

I have four movies in my top of best movies, the four are excelent movies for me, but if I had to chooso one definitly be "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes back".

"Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" it's an american movie from 1980, it's the second movie in the saga of "Star Wars" in chronologic order, but is the five chapter in this saga of movies. Like the rest of movies of this saga is a Space Opera.

This movie had a significant impact on popular culture, is one of the rares examples where the secuel is better than the original and it is also one of the rares examples where the bad guys win.

The movie has important situations, places and characters whitout this it would be very difficult recognize the "Star Wars" saga, like the imperial march, the master Yoda, the Vader revelations, the battle of Hoth, the floating could city, Lando Calrissian and much more.

the type of movies that I like is varied, so I wouldn't know how to choose which genre in specific, but if there is one that I don't like at all, the musicals.

The most recent movie that I have seen, it's in  fact "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes back" and I definitely recommend this movie.

Why chemistry and pharmacy?

Since my chilhood i realy like science, my first book was one of the human body when i have 6 years (book that i still have). When in kinder asks about what do we want to be? i respond that i wanted to be doctor. But when i start to doing science courses in the U. de Chile, i realy like chemestry and i decided that i didn´t whant to study medicine, but i still wasn´t sure what study. In the high school i decided that i wanted to study Chemistry and Pharmacy, because mixes chemestry and heath. When i was in 3° medio, i did a course of biotecnology and this like me a lot, because work whit genes it was something new and interesting for me and the teachers were really good.

When i had to choise what study, i was between Chemistry and pharmacy and Biotecnology, but i decided Chemistry and Pharmacy, whit the plan of studing biotecnology later, beacause the first its more ample and the second in Chile is generally an engineering. Whith yhat in mind, i´m really interested in the bacteriophages and their application in the pharmacology.

My experience in the university its was good at the moment, thanks to the groups works i met good classmates.

I´m not sure what i want to job in the future, but at the moment in the pharma industry.

Me :)

Well, i´m not good in this but I can try
My name is Baltazar, i have 19 years old. i´m studing Chemistry and pharmacy. I from Estación central.
During my chilhood I realy like science and i started to doing courses in the U. Chile when i have 12-13 years old, it´s then when i realized i like chemestry.

I relay like strategy games how the "Total War" saga or the games of "Paradox", the first one is about real time strategy in battles and turns strategy in the map, the second one is about real time strategy and control one country, usually changing the history.

I like cook, and during this quarantine i have learned a lot of new recipes.
