Isolation is vital in order to help flatten the curve and stop the spread of the raging coronavirus pandemic. In addition, it enables the use of the service on up to 5 devices, as opposed to 1, as it is in the free version. The paid subscription provides unlimited bandwidth and access to over 50 VPN locations. The freemium service allows multi-regional access to the streaming platform, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium and India, so users are able to establish a safe connection with their friends and family from wherever they are. ZoogVPN offers VPN services with military-grade encryption that enables to remove location-based restrictions, such as those placed by Netflix. We have seen an increase of users who subscribe to VPN services just to access Netflix." VPNs help them access their home country's Netflix. "We get requests from people stranded in foreign countries for the time of quarantine that miss their local TV shows or want to participate in Netflix watch events with their family that's perhaps in another country. "During the time of quarantine, when so many people feel isolated and alone, the ability to freely connect to the internet is more important than ever," said George Agal. Such digital solutions can reduce homesickness for people who may feel stranded abroad, as they can access entertainment they are familiar with from their home setting. For instance, the Netflix Party add-on on Google Chrome browser enables friends and family to watch the same show together and share their experience via a private chat room, making them feel connected and, in turn, fighting social isolation.

Therefore, many that are stuck abroad during this time, have been leveraging private networks to access their country’s on-demand selection, which had led to an approximately 180 percent increase in the usage of our VPN.” “Interest in using VPNs for US Netflix has always been strong, but since the lockdown, we have seen a notable increase in multi-regional versions of the platform, as they have unique content tailored to the locals. ![]() That’s why people are uniting to fight loneliness and depression online, where they can gather into communities or use VPNs to access content from their home countries,” said George Agal, the CEO of ZoogVPN, one of the new but fast-growing VPNs on the market. “For most, social distancing has been an incredible strain emotionally. VPNs help users connect to an IP address in a country of their choice, therefore, by connecting to a VPN in the US, a user who is currently in France can fully access American Netflix, and vice versa. The need to connect with their friends, family and like-minded individuals, who are residing abroad, has tremendously increased the usage of virtual private networks, as they enable users to bypass location-based restrictions and join a group of peers from anywhere around the globe.įor example, ZoogVPN reports that due to the high rise in demand for streaming Netflix in different regions, the usage of VPNs has nearly doubled since the start of the pandemic.

Dupin doesn't exactly hate other people – after all, he's willing to live with the narrator (and, we can't help but notice, on the narrator's dime). Neither Dupin nor the narrator seem like they belong to a book club, in other words. We get the sense the Dupin might not be the most social or extraverted of characters. We learn that Dupin spends what little money he has on books – he and the narrator become friends when they're both looking for the same volume at a library in the Rue Montmartre. As a result, he doesn't have to work for a living, but also doesn't have the social or political obligations of someone from an aristocratic background who still has lots of money. This means that he has a private income, but still has to live on a tight budget. Dupin comes from a great family that's fallen on hard times. Most of the details Poe gives us about Dupin's background and interests seem designed to show us that he's not great at playing with others. The thing about search engines is, they're not exactly social – we can't remember the last time we had a conversation with Google – and Dupin's no exception. In other words, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is like a database of evidence – the three silver spoons, the twenty or thirty blood-smeared grey hairs, the windows locked from the inside – and Dupin is like the search engine that picks out what we need to know when we can't figure it out for ourselves. Remember, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a new kind of story, less interested in depth of character than in engaging the reader in logic games. He's most notable for the role he plays in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," for taking the many clues presented during the course of the story and assembling them into a whole. After all, he's not really meant to be a rounded character. We're not knocking on Poe's genius by admitting that Dupin isn't fully fleshed out as a character. He is survived by his son, Stephen, and daughter, Nancy (who served in baseball public relations roles at USC and with the Anaheim Angels).

However, pretty early, on we realized that we had experiences and feelings from our own lives that we wanted to pour into the game. It was so that you could have enough friends to play the multiplayer modes with. The joke was that it was something of a tutorial mode for real life. It was going to be about a depressed penis learning how to make friends. The first draft of the story mode was going to be much more like Goat Simulator with narration and genitals. Using humorous dinks to explore toxic masculinity He really kept us motivated by always maintaining the highest possible standards with regards to smoothness and soulfulness. Also, a large pedestal for our dog (Leeroy Jenkins - Italian Greyhound) to sit on in the middle of the room where we could more easily see and pet him at all times. Tools of the trade and key motivational dogs There was nothing remotely like that around, and that was very exciting to us. The idea of a fully narrated fumble-core game about penises was too stupid and too surprising not to pursue. The idea for “stacking” penises came from an old (and admittedly gross) drawing that had been on our walls since early Broforce days - controlling flaccid penises that could penetrate each other just seemed like a fun multiplayer mechanic to try out in a game jam.Īfter the first multiplayer versions started coming together, the thought of a story mode really started to take hold. Not just because of how much people found the game to be funny, but also because of how it enabled people to have conversations about penises that they wouldn’t otherwise have in everyday life. One of these, a local multiplayer game called Wang Commander, was particularly inspiring and important for the conception of Genital Jousting. Pieterse, in particular, made a good few penis games in an effort to explore his sexuality and masculinity. We thought we had seen it all, but Genital Jousting turned out to be surprisingly hard to make!īelieve it or not, Genital Jousting is the latest in a long lineage of penis-related games by Free Lives team members. We had a breakout success with Broforce that paved the way for us to try weirder (and stupider?) things like Genital Jousting. It was only after the advent of indie games that Free Lives could be formed in 2012. Game development wasn’t really a commercially viable thing in South Africa up until quite recently, though. We’ve been trying to make games and art for just about as long as we can remember. With regard to the story, a lot of credit must also go to Jon Keevy - our delightful writer (who also didn’t help us fill out these questions). But it would be amiss not to mention the rest of the wonderful team at Free Lives who put so much work into making Genital Jousting happen. Along with Richard Pieterse (who wasn’t around to help us fill out these questions), we take full responsibility for the design and programming of Genital Jousting. Gamasutra spoke with Robbie Fraser and Evan Greenwood of Free Lives, developers of the Excellence in Narrative-nominated Genital Jousting, to learn about the challenges of making a penis that wasn't intimidating or horrifying, the humor to be found in putting genitals through everyday tasks, and the appeal of using such a silly setup to explore an important subject. It's a silly game of floppy dongs doing normal things in funny ways, but it also touches on the hurtful things men are taught every day. It’s officially the first game that wants to tear down the patriarchy while having a bloody good laugh at flaccid members.Genital Joustinguses the framework of the mundane lives of anthropomorphized penises to tell a story of toxic masculinity and breaking down harmful socializations. We also like to think of dicks as lovable and laughable.” “Genital Jousting is also meant to be a loving homage to the penis. ![]() We want to present the phallus as something silly, abject, and non-threatening.” But in Genital Jousting, they are often the butt of the joke. ![]() They are considered the dominant sexual organ. In a patriarchal society, penises are associated with power. ![]() “Genital Jousting is largely about disarming masculinity. Genital Jousting may be juvenile in its humour, but the creators have some very grown-up beliefs in what they’re trying to achieve: It’s a question so frequently asked, Free Lives even dedicated a section to their website to address this burning issue.
