What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 134

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 Resident Evil: Apocalypse Reviews, Retrospective And Reaction Videos – After watching the 2002 live-action Resident Evil movie, I left the cinema feeling unsatisfied as it did not have much related to the popular video game series. That film succeeded enough to justify the production of the sequel Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and the first reveal of Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine (based on her appearance in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis) caught my attention. The reveal of Raccoon City getting hit by the zombie apocalypse and the casting of Oded Fehr as Carlos Oliviera (another RE3 character) interested me. In September 2004, I saw Resident Evil: Apocalypse on opening day in the local cinema and I was entertained for the most part. The Milla Jovovich-led film was indeed flawed, but it was an enjoyable improvement over its 2002 predecessor. How Resident Evil: Apocalypse fares with the YouTubers is something you must see.

#2 The Planned California City That Failed – Have you ever heard of Salton City? It was a planned city in the state of California located along the Salton Sea. It was designed as a resort community capable of supporting forty thousand residents, and it was to have the complete systems of water, roads, sewer and energy. Salton City is a ghost town and the in-depth YouTube video I found will help you realize its history and why development failed.

#3 Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire Game Revisited – Back in the mid-1990s, George Lucas’ entertainment group launched the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire multi-media project which told what happened between the movies The Empire Strike Back and Return of the Jedi. The said project was huge even though there was no live action Star Wars movie involved. A Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire novel was released which became the foundation of a comic book adaptation (read my retro reviews here and here), a video game, toys, action figures and merchandise. The video game of Shadows of the Empire was a joint project between LucasArts and Nintendo and its release on Nintendo 64 drew a lot of attention back then. The game itself made gamers – both Star Wars fans and casual gamers – want to get an N64 to play the game. I recently found two in-depth retrospective videos about Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire on N64 and I encourage you all to watch them.

#4 The Embarrassing Woke NDP Of Canada – Have you ever heard about the New Democratic Party? Referred to as NDP for short, New Democratic Party is a very leftist and woke political party in Canada and it had a really bad result in the 2025 federal election. Recently, the NDP had its leadership election and what happened in late March saw a series of awkward and embarrassing moments during their big event. In the videos below, you will see why political correctness, identity politics and wokeness are bad to have, and they made the internal processes of the NDP hard to pull off. In fact, diversity and inclusion zealotry have caused divisions within the NDP’s convention. What happened was funny to watch and it was not a comedy at all.

#5 Elderly Japanese Women And Their Beloved Restaurants – In Japan, many Japanese people live really long lives. Among them are elderly people who are active and managed to make an impact on others. That said, there are two elderly Japanese women who excelled in cooking meals and managing restaurants, and what they offer will impress you. I urge you all to watch the Nippon TV feature below.

A Look Back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996)

Anyone who wants to use this article, in part or in whole, needs to secure first my permission and agree to cite me as the source and author. Let it be known that any unauthorized use of this article will constrain the author to pursue the remedies under R.A.

Welcome back science fiction enthusiasts, 20th century pop culture enthusiasts, Star Wars fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1996 to examine the 3rd chapter of a very notable Star Wars storyline that took place between the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi…Shadows of the Empire!  

With the first two issues of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire released (click here and here), the overall concept of the storyline has firmly been set and with sub-plots moving. This includes characters and developments that were not reflected nor referenced at in Return of the Jedi. At this stage, there is both excitement and suspense to look forward to.

With those details laid down, here is a look back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3, published in 1996 by Dark Horse Comics with a story written by John Wagner and drawn by Kilian Plunkett. This is the 3rd chapter of the 6-issue mini-series.  

Early story

The story begins with the gang of Gizman – including the newcomer Jix – who visit Jabba The Hutt in his palace for an important meeting. After expressing doubt about Jix, Jabba tells the gang that he is aware of Luke Skywalker’s presence in Tatooine and he has been signed near the former dwelling of Ben Kenobi. Jabba finds Skywalker more valuable to him dead. A short time later, Jix asked why does Jabba want Skywalker dead when Darth Vader will on pay for him to be living. This causes a bit of tension within the gang.

With R2D2 present with him at Obi-Wan’s old place, Luke Skywalker completed his brand-new lightsaber. Suddenly a laser blast almost hits them both and Luke realizes that the gang (which just met Jabba) is fast approaching them. The laser blast came from Jix who was told to hold his fire. Moments later, Luke takes down the first gang member who arrived using his new lightsaber…

Quality

Like issue #2, the intrigue and twists kept on happening as the pay-offs to the previous issue’s build-up got executed. Indeed, the story here moved Shadows of the Empire’s concept forward gradually and what was shown is both entertaining and engaging.

You will see here Luke Skywalker’s first-ever use of his then new green-colored lightsaber (the same one in Return of the Jedi) as he becomes a target of Jabba The Hutt who has a violent gang targeting him. Dash Rendar, arguably a creative stand-in for Han Solo in this storyline and also the playable protagonist in the Nintendo 64 video game, becomes even more important as he took the risk of involving himself with Luke as the gang attacked. The interaction between Dash and Luke here is believable to follow and makes a lot of sense within the context of this storyline.

What I found captivating here was the scene in which Darth Vader actually (and bravely) objected to Emperor Palpatine’s plan. The scene was pretty short but it was a powerful display of tension and even division between them. Along the way, Prince Xizor remains relevant with regards to the potential events waiting to happen while more of Boba Fett’s struggle being targeted (as the frozen body of Han Solo is a very valuable prize for other bounty hunters) by others was dramatized nicely.

Conclusion

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) succeeded in moving the story developments forward while ending up being entertaining enough. The speed bike chase in Beggar’s Canyon along was exhilarating to see and the dramatic moments of the sub-plots had impact. Right now, I am convinced to keep on reading more of Shadows of the Empire.

Overall, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) is recommended.

Uhhh, I almost forgot I had ordered these! I just received the 8BitDo N64 controllers in „Jungle“ green. These are awesome! 😁😎

#8BitDo #Analogue3D #N64 #Nintendo #Nintendo64 #ConsoleGaming #RetroGaming #Retro #90s

Some thoughts on the #Analogue3D:

It is very cool and sleek hardware (see my terrible photo with my original #OcarinaOfTime module) and can be a lot of fun if you want to have a mostly authentic #N64 experience on modern FullHD or 4K screen.

There are a lot of things to consider if you are willing to invest so quite a bit of money into this console:

• Despite being a #FPGA device the system is not open, so no #OpenFPGA in the future which would you allow other to #misterFPGA cores/systems (open alternatives: misterFPGA, #M64 and the #SuperStationOne).
• Some promised stuff is missing such as save states and play time recording.
• The official controller has to be bought if you don't plan to use an original N64 controller. the Wireless NSO N64 by Nintendo controller is not compatible.
• The official #8BitDo controller does not correctly emulate an N64 controller which can be problematic in certain scenarios involving the C buttons.
• Butchered PAL versions with less FPS /slowdown etc are still butchered.
• A few games do have compatibility issues (which are being worked on).
• HDMI-CEC support is broken and hasn't been fixed for weeks.
• Analogue seems to fulfilling orders in a quite random sequence.
• The integrated fan can be quite annoying/loud, especially for people sensitive for highly pitched noises.
• Don't forget about import taxes.
• No bluetooth audio, so your partner can "enjoy" the Yoshi Story soundtrack with you.
• Maybe emulation is good enough for you? 🤷
• Flash carts do at this work, just get/build a #SummerCart64. Emulators written for N64 hardware emulating other system do not work though.

Randomly stumbled upon while playing the original game on my #Analogue3D. 😄

Today, I transferred my EverDrive 64 X7 from its stock red shell to a smoke grey color. I think this goes so well with the Analogue 3D of that same color.

#Analogue #Analogue3D #EverDrive #RetroGaming #N64 #Nintendo64 #Nintendo #90s

It's already pretty late at night, but I just took a few more minutes to check out the EverDrive 64 X7.

Good news! My EverDrive arrived all set-up and ready with the latest bootloader installed, so it did work right out of the box with the Analogue 3D FPGA console! I just threw a bunch of .z64 ROMs on an SD-card and everything performed admirably. Even "large" games like Resident Evil 2 did load up within a few seconds. I like it!

Quest 64: I played the worst RPG on the Nintendo 64 — and I liked it!

My quest to play every RPG on the Nintendo 64 continues with Quest 64, often called the worst RPG on the system. But is it?

@cryptgoat @Turrican Ja, so ganz langsam vergeht mir auch der Spaß an EverDrives. Ich hatte das ED 64 X7 vor mittlerweile einem Monat für 168$ gekauft. Bisher habe ich immer noch keine gültige Sendungsnummer und auch keinen konkreten Termin. Das ist alles mega frustrierend.

Das SummerCart 64 wurde in nur drei Tagen geliefert und funktioniert tatsächlich tadellos im Analogue 3D.

Wanna see what the Analogue 3D and Quest 64 are like? I have a video for you showing protagonist Brian fighting the Water Witch herself, Nepty.

I really love how the Analogue 3D uses its controller lights to visualize the status of a firmware update. It's such an elegant and intuitive solution!

Samstag Löt Projekt, Umbau eines N64 NTSC SVideo Kabel zu ein PAL SVideo Kabel. Einlöten von 75Ohm Widerstände und 220uF und 68nF Kondensatoren. SVideo ist leider das beste, was man aus einer N64 PAL Konsole bekommt, Konsole kann kein RGB. Das analoge SVideo Signal wird mittels GBS-Control Pro Upscaler auf HDMI gewandelt, und dann am TV dargestellt.

The mid-1990s leap from 2D games on the Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Master System to 3D games on the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 provided for behind-the-character perspective. This let the player see farther ahead of the character than would be possible in a side or overhead view. In turn, this allowed more open-looking worlds in action and adventure games, and it gave players of racing games more realistic times to react.

The leap from 1 to 4 MiB cartridges to 650 MiB discs allowed more appealing background music in a rhythm game like Parappa the Rapper or Dance Dance Revolution.
