  3. 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.

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

    Disclaimer: This is my original work with details sourced from reading the comic book and doing personal research. 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 JediShadows 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.  

    The cover.

    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

    Having the frozen Han Solo makes Boba Fett a target of those who want the prize.

    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

    Luke Skywalker, Dash Rendar and R2D2.

    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.

  11. I'm late for the #retrogaming party. Again.

    First was when I discovered the #MT32pi - an emulator of the legendary Roland MT-32 MIDI device, that nobody could afford, but was supported by a number of awesome games back in the late #80s / early #90s. @d0pefish, the developer behind it, threw in the towel, saying he'd had enough abuse from people. If I ever meet that guy, beers are on me.

    Next, I'm looking into different options for revamping an old #Nintendo64, and I stumbled upon the #BlueRetro project by @darthcloud. It's based on the #ESP32 and is basically a bluetooth-enabled controller emulator, allowing you to use your fancy new wireless controller with old consoles. The developer also threw in the towel in December 2025, citing other priorities. Again, beers are on me.

    Common for these two, is that they're open source and sold by a lot of Chinese vendors, who're often not supporting or even crediting the developers, making it a somewhat thankless job. We should do better.

  19. I picked up my N64 a while ago and of course, had to play some obligatory Pokemon Stadium minigames. Hope you like the stickers (and eastereggs) I made to indulge the nostalgia!

    Fav games that didn't make the cut: Rattata and Delibird. Which one's yours?

  20. The #N64 controller is one most unique mainstream console controllers ever made and brought analogue controls to the masses. But for some reason nobody appears to be able to create proper replacements, which stay true to the original while using modern technology. Super interesting video about the #Nintendo64 controller and some third party replacements illustrating all the unique things and quirks about this legendary input device:
    youtube.com/watch?v=ia9MknVDxaI

    I own the #Tribute64 V2 so I could play the #Zelda source ports on the #SteamDeck but the wireless configuration is a mess and the the input setup can be quite fiddly. And I finally ordered a an official N64 controller for the Switch which can be used on PC.
    Too bad it stays too true to the original in one critical aspect: It uses the same stick design prone to wear. 🙈 At least it's said to be properly lubed... but I better not be playing #MarioParty 1 with that thing. :ugly:

  21. 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.

  24. Did you notice this on the back of a Nintendo 64 cartridge? While Nintendo advises against it, it seems like it's always the perfect fix. But what do you think, does blowing into the cartridge make the game work or is it just a legend? 🎮
