  • S4 EP12 Need for Speed: Heat has the most diverse characteristics, plus, it’s an issue spotlight.
    In today's episode, I explain why I believe NFS: Heat shines light on a very important issue, over policing and excessive force, as well as why I believe everyone will enjoy the game.

    Introduction:
    What’s up you guys? This is H.J. here and in today’s episode, I’m going to be explaining why I believe Need for Speed: Heat has the most diverse characteristics and why I believe it’s a social justice issue spotlight.
    [Transition sound effects]
    Main Content:
    Need for Speed: Heat released in 2019 and has been characterized by some as being one of the top-tier games in
    the Need for Speed franchise. It boasts a huge map size and amazing graphical quality. The cops…well they’re aggressive to say the least, in fact that aggressiveness might be what Need for Speed was trying to convey. I’ve played the game and I noticed a common theme throughout the gameplay, that the character protagonists were all very diverse and that their representation ranged from LGBTQ+ to minorities of all colors and backgrounds. What stands out to me most of all, is that this could be Need for Speed and EA’s way of portraying the conflict between some minorities and the police and drawing attention to the issue of over policing and prejudice against people of color.
                   I like to think Lt. Danny Shaw of the Palm City Bay police department in Need for Speed: Heat is kind of the good guy here, however, well…he’s not. His overreactive state, and quickness to react when it’s unnecessary draws attention to the issue of those who use overly excessive force in policing. For example, when he chased down and caught one of Anna’s partners in the opening race, he brutally kicked him and threatened to kill him by drowning him in the water with his car. That is until one of the good officers, an African American detective steps in and threatens to expose Mercer and Shaw if they didn’t let
    him go to “send a message”.
                   Another thing I will point out is I love this game because it draws attention to social justice issues and policing, and I think it’s a great time for the industry to start getting involved to help minority communities. Aside from the attention to issues, the immersive state of gameplay and the ability for EA to make such a quality game is incredible. The aggressiveness of the police is not only to draw attention to social issues but to make the game fun as well. I have escaped multiple heat level 5 pursuits in this game, and let me tell you, it is amazing. The bearcats I could tolerate, but the regular units and attention to detail was extraordinary. I love how the story concludes with some decent end-game content, but I wish they could have added more. In addition to this one last thing, I will point out, is that we heard Anna referenced as being gay, but we never got to see an ending on what that would look like. I’m
    excited to see what the next few games have to offer, and I recommend playing this game.

  • S4 EP9 Five Features I would like to see in Windows 12
    In today’s podcast episode, I’m going to be giving my predictions as to what features I want to see Microsoft implementor reimplement in Windows 12, and why they would be essential for a newer and improved operating system.

    Introduction:
                   Hello everybody, I’m H.J. and welcome to today’s podcast episode. In today’s podcast
    episode, I’m going to be giving my predictions as to what features I want to see Microsoft implement or reimplement in Windows 12, and why they would be essential for a newer and improved operating system.
    [Transition sound]
    Main Body 1:
    The first and main thing that I want to see return to Windows in Windows 12 is the taskbar
    orientation. While this feature may seem like the lesser of the five features I would like to see, I do believe that it needs to be returned simply because of the aesthetic nature of the feature, and the number of people that would also love to see this feature return.
    [Transition sound]
    Main Body 2:
                   The second and most important feature of Windows 12 that would make Windows 12 a better operating system, is a reversion to the original security and hardware requirements that we saw with Windows 10, as Windows 11 left a lot of PCs behind because many just simply didn’t meet one or more of the hardware requirements. While I believe the security of Windows 11 was paramount, I do not believe that the hardware requirements should have been absolutely necessary.
    [Transition sound]
    Main Body 3:
                   The third feature I would like to see in Windows 12 is the idea of a floating and
    more “MacOS” type taskbar. This will make things seemingly a lot better and more pleasing. In addition to this, Microsoft should add their version of the finder app, and MacOS search bar settings for the taskbar and logon/shutdown options.
    [Transition sound]
    Main Body 4:
    The fourth feature I would LOVE to see in Windows 12 is the ability to use quick resume on any Microsoft Store game, such as Minecraft, Cities Skylines, and Doom Eternal for PC. This feature, quick resume, is a feature that is currently only native to Xbox Series X|S consoles, and I feel that this feature would be much needed for the PC gaming space.
    [Transition sound]
    Main Body 5 & Outro:
    My last and final feature I would like to see included in Windows 12 is the ability to run Apple apps just like you can in the Windows subsystem for Android and Linux. The only challenge to achieve this is they would have to go through Apple, and…Apple well…they’re
    like, “Nope!”. Anyways if there are any features I may have missed, please reach out to me on Twitter or via email. If you haven’t donated there’s a link for that as well. Thank you all for listening and I’m gone.
