Even before the season began, seemingly everyone around the NBA and their dogs were projecting
a third straight Cleveland Cavaliers-Golden State Warriors Finals.
Well, two thousand five hundred and thirty four games later we've finally arrived at
what's looking like an epic rubber match between the two powerhouses.
I have an arts degree so that math might not be 100 percent correct but you get the point.
Sportsbooks opened the Cavs as 7-point road underdogs with a total of 225.5 for Game 1.
The unstoppable force of LeBron James and the unguardable offense of the Warriors could
be a series for the ages.
For the Warriors, it's all about redemption after coughing up the first 3-1 Finals lead
in NBA history.
The Dubs haven't lost a game all postseason and are the heavy favorites in oddsmakers
eyes.
Golden State's series price comes in at minus 240, which makes sense when you factor
in the addition of former MVP Kevin Durant.
The Cavs are just fine with playing in the underdog role.
Cleveland's series price of plus 200 looks like great value for any defending champions,
but sports books have been high on the Warriors all year long and they certainly won't change
their tune now.
Simply put, if you think Bron Bron and company can repeat the time to get on them is right
now.
In terms of the spread, I'm expecting Cleveland to keep this thing close.
Both teams are well rested and have been preparing for this matchup since the last Finals ended
so I wouldn't expect lack of effort or rust to be an issue here.
The Warriors easily cashed as 6-point favorites in Game 1 of the 2016 Finals in a 104-89 win,
however this is a much different Cavaliers team and they're simply playing too well
in my eyes to be getting this many points.
I'm taking the wine and gold as dogs in Game 1.
It's a high number, but the OVER will likely see a significant amount of wagers at books.
The Cavs have gone OVER in 15 of their last 21 games while the Dubs have eclipsed the
closing total in each of their previous five.

Friday the 13th: The Game - How to Escape Jason (Best Methods Ranked) - Duration: 4:16.
If it feels impossible for you to beat Jason, you're not alone.
Several hours of in-game time have yielded very few positive results for the counselors,
with Jason usually killing everyone, or at least mostly everyone, before the counselors
get even one item to help them escape.
Assuming you make it past this step, which method of escape should you go for?
Follow the tips in this video to avoid the death traps and find the best method to get
safely outside of Camp Crystal Lake.
One complex method of victory is to actually kill Jason.
If you hit Jason enough times, his mask will come off.
After that, a female character needs to get Jason's mom's sweater from his shack,
which is in a different spot in each level.
Someone must then have radioed for Tommy Jarvis, and someone must have already died and came
back as him.
Then, sweater girl and Tommy need to team up, stun Jason with the sweater powers, and
then Tommy needs to finish him off.
At this point, the stunned, maskless Jason will die.
Near as we can figure, the cars are just death traps.
You put in a ton of effort clamoring around for a battery, a gas can and keys, and it's
all for naught once Jason gets to you.
His Morph ability lets him teleport to any point.
So, once Jason is aware that you have a car, he can teleport to the middle of the road
and just stand there, stopping the vehicle's movement.
If there are a lot of counselors still alive, it's possible to escape in a car while Jason
is distracted, but if only four counselors are left and all of them go for the car, well
it's GG.
Each level has a 20-minute time-cap.
So, in theory, if you survive for 20 minutes without escaping, you will automatically "win,"
so to speak.
Why is this method of victory so low down on our list?
Well, staying alive for 20 whole minutes is almost impossible, unless you go up against
a truly incompetent Jason player.
The one counselor who has a fighting chance of surviving the round is Jenny Myers, who
with a composure rank of 10/10, is virtually invisible to Jason's sense ability.
So if you're happy foregoing all of your honor and dignity, you *could* play as Jenny
and attempt to hide on the outskirts of the map somewhere, watching the clock tick down.
In levels that don't have a two-seater car, there is instead a two-seater boat, and it's
one of the best ways to escape.
For one thing, you only need two parts to get it ready: gasoline and an engine rotor.
Find those two items, head for the boat, and you can speed out of town, and never look
back.
As the boats are closer to the outskirts of the map, you shouldn't attract too much
attention, so long as you keep the noise and your fear down.
The obvious caveat is that the boat can only hold two people.
And Jason *can* stop the boat, so it's not necessarily smooth sailing as soon as you
get it running.
Just like with the car, he can Morph in front of it underwater.
But it's much more difficult stopping the boat, as the water provides several ways for
players to swerve around Jason, whereas cars have to deal with the narrow roads.
Calling the cops should probably be the first thing you try to do.
In terms of materials you need to collect, it requires the least amount.
All you need is to find the fuse, and install it around the back of the cabin with the phone.
Then, go inside and call the police.
After calling them, they will arrive at one of the two camp entrances in 5 minutes.
However, you have to be careful while doing this, as Jason knows where the phone will
be, but if you find the fuse quickly enough it won't matter.
The highest rate of survival we've seen usually comes when players call the cops in
the first few minutes of any one match.
At that point, it puts Jason in an awkward position where he wants to try to puppy-guard
the exit with the police, but doing so will give the other counselors ample opportunity
to escape via other means.
Once you call the cops, be very careful about simply approaching the exit.
Stay crouched as often as you can, as any noise will present a blip on Jason's radar.
It will also help if you have a counselor with high composure, like Jenny Myers.
You'll want to conserve your stamina so you can make a mad dash once you're in range.
Also, unless Jason is noticeably pre-occupied with other counselors, don't approach the
exit without at least one item to stun or evade Jason.
A pocket knife is ideal, but a flare gun or firecracker will also suffice.
If you have these, you can move toward the exit basically unafraid.
He will likely cut you off at the mouth of the road, but then you can just stun him and
run past.

This Door Won't Close • Friday the 13ᵗʰ The Game • Trophy/Achievement Guide 🏆 - Duration: 1:50.
Hi everyone and welcome to this very short guide on how to get the
'This Door Won't Close' Trophy in the recently released
'Friday the 13th: The Game'
To get this trophy you need to kill a counselor using the 'Door Smash' environmental kill.
So you obviously have to be Jason for this one.
In the Customize menu you can set your Spawn Preference to 'Jason',
but that won't guarantee you'll be the man behind the mask.
Even in a 2 player Private Match with the other one having
their Spawn Preference set to 'Counselor',
you still won't spawn as Jason every time.
So I'm not quite sure what this setting actually does, to be honest.
Anyway, once you do spawn as the infamous undead killer..
..you need to find a counselor that's lurking either inside or right in front of a house.
Jason's 'Sense' and 'Shift' abilities can help you with that.
You basically want to catch one near an open door..
..grab them..
..move them towards the doorframe..
..and finally trigger the kill.
You need to be quick, though as those pesky counselors tend to fight back
and escape your grip!
But that's it.
Once you showed 'em the door, the trophy will pop and mommy will be pleased.
So thanks for watching, have fun getting your trophy,
and see you all next time on another beautiful night
here at Camp Crystal Lake.

H-Game Review 10: "Depravia - *Really long title here*-" - Duration: 10:00.
Welcome to a new episode of H-Game Reviews. I'm your host O21.
Today's game is kind of gorey.
Not too much so that a normal person can't enjoy it.
But, if you don't like that genre too much, well...
You have been warned.
The name is... very long. It says:
"Depravia
-Senshojo Angelika ga
hidoi me ni au yoko sukuroru
hadokoa ryona akkushon-".
Which means more or less:
"Depravia
-Hardcore action side-scrolling game
where the battle maiden Angelika
finds herself in very difficult situations-".
I shit you not.
That's what it says and that's what it means.
Ok. Let's get to it.
As always, this is the trial version.
You can download it from the link in the description.
And if you like the game, you can buy it, too.
The last video was a bit too long,
over thirty minutes.
And I think now, it was a bit difficult to watch.
So, from now on I'll try to make videos
10 minutes long or less.
Ok. Here, to the left, we have Angelika,
which is the protagonist. And to the right we have
Sarieru, which is kind of her boss.
She's explaining to Angelika that
hell has invaded earth.
And that she has to stop them because
all the other angels have disappeared.
Now, she's telling her about
an orb, a chaos orb that makes her
quite unbeatable.
But, it also turns her into a fallen angel, momentarily,
so she has to be careful.
As the title says, this is a side-scrolling game,
actually a platformer.
And what I like about this game is that is hard enough.
I'll explain a bit about the interface.
Here you see your life points.
When you get hit, you lose 1 life point.
And when you lose all life points or you get hit 3 times.
Well, you die.
Here you have the weapon you have equipped.
How many "Continues" you have.
How long you can keep floating.
The chaos orbs you have to make you unbeatable.
It's like a Mario star.
So, you can't be defeated and also you get an upgraded weapon.
Here, you have a piece of clothig. This item...
It makes you recover... your life points
and it also gives you an upgraded weapon.
See?
Now, look at this.
I like that the game has very good
"Ambientation" (atmosphere). You see,
hell was supposed to have invaded the earth and
the angels have disappeared and it makes sense
that they are around but defeated.
Also some human girls.
I will have, probably, to censor it.
Because of youtube. But that's ok. You get the idea.
What I like most about this game is that it's well balanced.
That means that it's not
too difficult
and it's not too easy either.
If it's too difficult,
well, you just can't advance the game, you can't proceed.
You can't watch new H scenes.
And when it's too easy,
you can't see the H scenes either.
Because you won't die at all.
And yes, this is one of those games that you have to die to actually watch the H scenes.
And it depends on the monster,
that kills you,
the kind of H scene you get.
Ah, yeah.
I remember that the last time I said that I didn't like games that
you have to die to watch the H scenes.
But,
when it's a platformer game, you're going to die,
eventually, when you start playing the game.
It's like not dying when you play Super Mario, you will have to die,
at one point or another.
So it's ok for this kind of game
to die to watch the H scenes.
And I think the game, the complete game, has
some kind of gallery where you can see
all the H scenes in one place, once you complete the game.
I don't want to restart the level right now so,
I'll try not to lose. I'll lose at the end.
Ok.
Let's try to finish this part
and see how much we can play with just the trial version.
At the end as, you can see, we get
a Stage Rank with the numbers we've gotten.
How many times we've died.
How many times we've used th orbs.
How many times...
we've come in contact or we have been hit.
And the total time.
Let's see. Let's try this one here.
Seems like we are already in hell.
But, not all the stages can be chosen.
Ok. I'll end the gameplay here but not without showing you
what happens when you get hit 3 times.
Ok, here we go. As I told you,
the scenes you get depends on the monster that
actually hits you at the end.
If you choose not to continue,
you'll get a game over screen and that's it.
And that's all for todays' video. I hope you enjoyed the game.
This was O21. And see you next time!

Do You Even OWN Your CONSOLE? Supreme Court Weighs In - The Know Game News - Duration: 8:48.
*ticking*
"That's right!"
Welcome to The Know, I'm Ashley Jenkins
And I'm Gus Sorola
Hey, so you know that EULA that you never read
time you buy a video game console or some other
other brand new gadget, the where it tells you that you're
gonna owe Sony or Nintendo your first born child
and 77 pounds of silver if you mess with your new
console in any way, well the supreme court may have
just paved the way for making those arguments
nonexistant. You don't have to read it if doesn't exist
In a new ruling that has some big implications for the tech industry,
the Supreme Court handed down a decision this week
that gives the rights of your hardware to you after you purchase it.
Whoa what a novel concept, weird right!?
Rather than the manufacturer merely just giving you a
license to use it.
So, hold on, you own the sh** that you buy now?
That's crazy talk
So this ruling actually opens the door to all kinds of things
Like repairing your consoles without sending them to
the manufacturer. Or better yet, for some consumers
legally modding them, well, sort of. That one's a little bit
trickier, but it's still a big legal step in that direction.
However, it could also pave the way, according to some
experts for changes in the ownership of all products
including digital goods like software, which would be
a much bigger deal for all those video games you own
or that you have a license to, right.
But, before we get to all the big implications for video
games and the other sectors of the tech industry, let's
first get to what the Supreme Court case actually is and
suprisingly enough, it's all about the exciting world of,
printer ink.
Well, people still use printer huh? Alright, the case itself
is called Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark International, Inc.
and it's had a long road in getting all the way to the
Supreme Court with a ton of tech companies throwing
their official support on both sides of the legal argument
Alright, so here's what it's all about, Lexmark, if you
didn't know, is a printer company that sells, duh, printers
but in addition to printers, they sell printer cartridges
which, if you've owned a printer, you know can be super
crazy, ridiculously, pricey every time you need to refill
your ink. Traditionally, Lexmark has given their
customers two ways to get new cartridges, buy a single
use cartridge that you discard when you're done, or
basically, do a subscription program or as they call it, a
return program, which lets you buy discounted cartridges
so long as you give them back when you're done. Now,
you know the drill if you've ever bought any kind of
technology, if it's a bunch of proprietary nonsense,
to keep you spending money, with only Lexmark,
or your printer ink needs.
"bing"
However one company found a way to eat into their
model. A West Virginia company called, Impression
Products started buying the discarded single use
cartridges, and selling modified versions of them so
they could be refilled by someone else besides Lexmark.
Lexmark didn't like that too much as you can imagine,
and ended up suing them for patent and copyright
infringement, and Impression Products didn't like the
didn't like the idea of being sued, so, it kicked it up the
chain of appeals courts. Their basic argument is, one
that many of us have said a lot of times ourselves
"Why shouldn't consumers be able to do what they want
with products they legally own?"
Because of that pretty meaningful issue, several
companies have jumped in on both sides of the dispute
Some big players have filed briefs on behalf of
Impression Products, and being able to own your own
sh**, including: Vizio, Dell, Intel, LG Electronics, HTC,
Cosco, and Western Digital.
And in Lexmark's corner, you'll find some of the
industries biggest patent holders, companies like:
Qualcomm, IBM, Nokia, Dolby, the ones who have a
financial interest in you not doing whatever you want.
I wanna say Cosco's the weird one in all of this
it's all tech companies and Cosco.
Well, look, Cosco sells so much stuff, they are
Huge market. Oh, no no, it makes sense, i get it, just
Cosco, it's like a really lame version of the airport
showdown in "Civil War" but it's all been kind of a big
deal because so many businesses, especially
in the tech space rely on the loss-leader model.
The loss-leader model meaning you take a hit on
something you sell to make more money on it in the
back-end as it's proprietary owner. It's actually exactly
how a lot of video game consoles work.That business
model, they hook you on a console, the manufacturer
barely makes a profit, or sometimes they lose money
on it in order to get more money from you in the long
term through subscription services or software;
The, "attach rate." Yes, and preserving the loss-leader
model was the position of many of those opposing tech
companies. They argued to the Supreme Court that if
you lessen the power of patents, and give companies
less control over their products after they're sold,
you potentially kill off a very valuable part of the market
Meanwhile, the other sides argued, "So what,
competition is a good thing, the more of it, the better."
Yeah, so how does the Supreme Court rule?
Overwhelmingly in favor of Impression Products, with a
vote of 7 to 1.
And the majority statement from the Supreme Court
left very little wiggle room for their interpretation
of the law, namely that once you buy something, it is
yours to do with as you please. As is common sense
I think. You would think so, yes but it's all those EULAS
I hope we find out who that one dissenter is later in the
article. Chief Justice John Roberts said, "Lexmark
exhausted its patent rights in these cartridges the
moment it sold them, a patentee is free to set the price
and negotiate contracts with his purchasers, but may
not by virtue of his patent control the use or disposition
of the product after ownership passes to the purchaser."
Robert's went on to say, "That product is no longer
within the limits of the monopoly and instead becomes
the private, individual property of the purchaser, with the
rights and benefits that come along with ownership."
Ah, not licensing, ownership. The opinion also says that
anyone who makes a purchase of a product is allowed
to re-sell it without fear of being sued for patent
and copyright infringement, which that one seems pretty
obvious it like, should've been the law, you know,
forever ago!? Sure. Again, that last piece, kind of
a big deal, patent and copyright infringement were two
of the big staples for how Sony eventually went after
Geohot following his hacking of the PS3, and the
subsequent breach of PSN, saying that, "even though
he owned the hardware, he was not actually free to do
whatever he liked, with the console. Hmm, to be fair he
also broke a bunch of other laws that would've
gotten him in trouble anyway, well, there is that, but
those were the key pieces of their complaint against him
So, in addition to ruling that a product is yours to do with
as you please, so congratulations, you now own your
console. (Yay) The Supreme court also, ruled that
whether or not it's purchased domestically or
internationally, which potentially means lower prices on
some technology here if you buy it from a third-party.
That's part of why Cosco jumped in, (Aha!), for support
of Impression Products. Theoretically major retailers
like Cosco, could buy tech products like TVs or Video
Game consoles, from around the world now, then bring
them to the United States and resell them to customers
Previously, patent holders were able to dispute this
under broad interpretations of patent law.
Alright, so, that's all well and good, very interesting, but
how does it matter to you, watching this at home or on
a toilet, or a bus somewhere (Hey toilets are at home!)
Wherever you happen to be. Dude, toilet watching is
a big deal. Well, the Electronic Frontier Foundation
which is a big boys for consumer and digital rights says
it's not only a big win for the right to own philosophy,
but also one for the right to tinker as well. Which if
you're wondering, that could extend to modding
hardware and products you purchase, so does this
mean you're legally in the clear if you want to start
hacking your console to sell pirated games? Not exactly.
Even if you don't have nefarious purposes in life
for console mods, the problem is so many of these
hacks are often combined with ways to circumvent
firmware, and getting around the firmware, is still
protected by DMCA. However, this does remove that
restriction from modding consoles it's just one less thing
they can slap on a civil suit. The most important thing it
does though, is to give you more variety to repair and
open the door for local repair shops to fix your consoles
for you, rather than sending them into Microsoft for six
weeks at a time. Unfortunately (you can send them
in anyway, we all know Microsoft is a red ring, but that's
anyone) Unfortunately, not gonna stop them from
sticking it in the EULA, even though the Supreme Court
has deemed it illegal, a manufacturer could still try and
slap you on the wrist for violating your contract with
them, since, signing the EULA is technically entering a
contract, but it's way flimsier than violating patent and
copyright law. Fortunately there are bills in the works
from state governments, like the right to repair act, that'll
go a long way toward this too. Thanks tractors! But
more importantly, the EFF also calls this an important
decision towards the same right to own philosophy
for digital goods as well, because, currently, the rights
for software are still considered to be non-transferable
licenses, you may own the disc, but you only license the
game that's on it. Oh, kay. That's why you can't resell
digital goods, because of previous legal precedents,
they're viewed as licenses, rather than tangible property
like anything else, however the EFF feels we're now a
huge step closer to changing this interpretation.
So, really important court case? Actually, stands to have
really big consequences for stuff you care about,
imagine that.
What do you guys think of the Supreme Court ruling in
favor of consumers actually owning their stuff, let us
know in the comments. And for future updates from the

We're not actually lawyers, dont. I'm a lawyer.
Can you have a law office and not be a lawyer?
Like, could you have a law office that's just...
I dunno. What if you just obeyed a law in that office?
Then it's a legal office. There ya-
I mean, all you have to do is hop over a bar.

RAREST NES GAME - HOW TO VIDEOGAMES - Duration: 1:26.
Hi and welcome to How To Videogames!
This week, I have a pretty extensive retro video game collection, but these are the only
NES games that I have.
So today, I am on a quest to find the hardest video game to find for the NES.
So here we are at Game Dude in North Hollywood, where I'm gonna find the hardest video game
to find!
Barbie!
What game is that?
They do not have a lot of Sega CD games.
But they do have two copies of Third World War!
Grooooossss!!
Grooooossss!!
Here we go!
Need help?
Yes!
One BattleToads, please!
Ok.
Debit or Credit?
So, I guess I thought that was gonna be a lot harder than it was being that everyone
on the internet is always calling to find a copy of BattleToads.
But we got it!
Here at Game Dude!
BattleToads!

Why Video Games Should Be Banned - Duration: 3:28.
Did you know that video games are responsible
for more deaths than everything else ever combined.
Yes, I am counting virtual deaths;
but that should be fine in a biased PSA.
Hellooo, I'm Kilian.
Head of the Sisterhood of Extremely Worried Mothers
A group dedicated to ban the planets two greatest evils
Video games and vaccines!
This campaign started after the disturbing Nintendo Switch commercials
Notice how they never show anyone being in school.
Instead they are going to parties,
probably to do the mare-uh-wan-uhs
To convince you video games should be banned
I'm not gonna sit here and bombard you with terrifying facts
FOR EXAMPLE
Did you know that the majority of gamers in Israel never go to church?
They have replaced Jesus with a hedgehog
Ever seen "The Last Supper"?
WHAT'S THAT IN JUDAS' HAND?
An AMD graphics card?
Sonofabitch liked his framerates
But are all games bad?
Yes
Let me tell you how popular games will turn your sweet ten year old into a serial killing pig molestor
The obvious game to talk about is GTAV
But let's not
They have a really good legal team
But another game that kids like that is exactly like GTAV is
Clash of Clans
Maybe you liked the commercials, but they don't tell you about the deviant chat features
Where your kids will be encouraged to do terrible things
Like, uhhh~~
Have abortions?
Or even worse, listen to Rock 'n Roll.
Online games in #general are always bad for you.
FOR EXAMPLE
League of Legends
Its popularity is slowing down in the west
Much like cigarettes!
That can't be a coincidence!
So, can League cause lung cancer?
We asked researchers at Cambridge University and they said
NO
So we asked the such superior Online University of Baghdad and they said:
"Sure, whatever you want"
Do you think someone would lie because we gave them $50,000?
Minecraft is in a similar situation
At first glance it might not look so bad
I mean Father John plays it with the church kids all the time
A bit too much actually
but that's not the problem!
We all know, vidya games are guaranteed to cause violence.
A nice kid plays ten minutes of Candy Crush and all of a sudden he wants human sacrifices
Minecraft is extremely violent
And so: as Minecraft gained popularity
so did civil wars, and as they say:
"Correlation always implies causation"
Also just because a game is safe now doesn't mean it's gonna stay that way
Overwatch was a game about shooting terrorists
something that should be taught in schools
Then overnight, new goal was to become a vegan Sodomite
This could happen to ANY GAME
Listen.
We're not delusional
We know banning games won't cause peace on earth immediately
And true, some of these facts might be a bit "alternate"
The complete and honest truth is:
I'M FROM THE FUTURE!
In the year 14,000
All of humanity has been wiped out by a copy of Kirby
Steam androids scour the planet to trade video games for lives
I had to return to the past to undo the future that is video games
hums samurai jack theme
