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 worldās most popular online video destination?
I recommend you check out the following topics and the related videos I found.
#1 The Beastmaster revisited ā I find it curious that there are not too many movie reaction videos about the 1982 fantasy film The Beastmaster starring Marc Singer. The film was not a big hit in cinemas but it was viewed by millions of viewers on home video and cable TV which resulted in a dedicated following. When it comes to searching for video reviews of the movie, there are more available for viewing on YouTube. For the Beastmaster fans reading this and for those who enjoy the fantasy genre, I posted below a reaction video by You, Me and the Movies, and a video review by Decker Shado.
#2 Misha Petrovās inspiring testimony ā Being a Leftist is not only a terrible way of living as it includes living with a very distorted view of reality, rebelling against family and order, and being twisted. YouTuber Misha Petrov was once a Leftist and she eventually left the Satanic Left to be liberated. Very clearly, being liberal means being foolish and wokeness is a disease that truly ruins those trapped by it. Learn from Misha Petrovās inspiring testimony in the PragerU video below.
#3 Do not be fooled by socialist influencers ā I like watching the videos of John Stossel as there are often informative and engaging. Recently, Stossel posted a video about what the many socialist influencers get wrong. It is a reminder that no matter how powerful the words spoken and no matter how unique the presentations looked like, socialists do not want you to know the truth that does not back up their claims. That being said, I encourage you to watch Stosselās explanatory video below.
#4Why the playable hero of Oblivion starts inside a prison ā If there is anything consequential about the release of the current Xbox-exclusive fantasy role-playing game (RPG) Avowed, it is the renewed public interest in two well established games that have similarities with the Obsidian-developed game ā The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. My previous blog post had a comparative video featuring Avowed and Oblivion. More on Bethesdaās 2006 RPG, it is remembered that the hero gamers got to play as started inside a prison whenever they begin the single-player campaign. As to why the playable hero is already behind bars, watch the analytical video below from YouTuber A Bardās Ballad.
#5 VKunia and Ashleigh Burtonās respective Captain America: The Winter Soldier reaction videos ā Back in 2014, I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier on opening day in a local cinema here in the Philippines and it was a very thrilling and engaging experience. Back then, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was still expanding its lore during the Phase 2 stage, and the Captain America movie itself was really a superhero tale told in the form of an espionage thriller. It was a bold creative direction that really paid off for Marvel Studios. When it comes to the YouTube reaction videos of it available, I find the ones from VKunia and Ashleigh Burton the most entertaining. If you have not seen the movie yet, I urge you to watch it first. Otherwise, enjoy the videos below.
#6 PatmanQC examines R-Type ā When it comes to sci-fi themed, 2D side-scrolling shooters in video games, Japan a lot of them and arguably the most popular game franchise related to the sub-genre is Konamiās Gradius. There is, however, another sci-fi 2D side-scrolling shooter series that started in Japanese arcades ā R-Type. Like Gradius, R-Type went on to have sequels and many of its games were released on many platforms through the decades. To find out how R-Type started and what were the inspirations behind it, watch PatmanQCās in-depth video below.
#7 Baywatch revisited by Minty Comedic Arts ā Back in 1989, Baywatch was launched on television and it went on to become a massive hit with TV viewers around the world. The series about attractive lifeguards working at beaches lasted more than ten seasons and ultimately became a pop culture phenomenon. It was also the sexiest show on TV during its time. Of course, there are lots of interesting details about the series and I urge you to watch the trivia video of Minty Comedic Arts below.
#8 Palestinian clerics openly call for genocide against Jews ā As I mentioned before, the Palestinians have stake in the land of Israel and they as a people have destroyed their credibility a long time ago by following the their terrorist leaders and brainwashing children to hate the Jewish people. In recent times, religious leaders of the Palestinians used sermons calling for the extermination of the Jews. That being said, it is not surprising that the mainstream news media (which have not only a liberal bias but also Islamo-Leftist beliefs) does not even bother to cover the recent Palestinian campaign of hate targeting the Jewish people and Israel. While those corrupted news media outlets are staying away, CBN News covered the very issue. Watch their news video below. Keep on standing in support of Israel and push back against evil acts of the Palestinian terrorists and the wicked Palestinian Authority.

Recently in ParaƱaque City, elements of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested twenty foreigners who were caught operating a Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) at an Aseana City building, according to a Philippine News Agency (PNA) news article.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the PNA news article. Some parts in boldfaceā¦
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Friday announced the arrest of 20 foreign nationals operating an illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) hub in ParaƱaque City.
In a statement on Friday, the NBI said the suspects were arrested in an operation on Feb. 25 at Aseana 3, West Tower, 8912 Avenue, following a complaint of the wife of a Chinese national working for a POGO company operating under the trade name “LWE.ā
She alleged that her husband, who worked as a customer service representative, was being held against his will by his employers.
During the operation, agents of the NBI Special Task Force uncovered a fully operational online scam hub.
The arrested foreigners have been charged before the city prosecutor’s office for violating Section 4(b)(1) (Social Engineering Schemes) of Republic Act (RA) 12010, or the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA) in relation to RA 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of ParaƱaque, are you concerned that there could be a lot more POGOs and scam hubs operating secretly at the Aseana City buildings? What do you think makes ParaƱaque an attractive spot for scam operations and POGOs involving foreigners?

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 worldās most popular online video destination?
I recommend you check out the following topics and the related videos I found.
#1 Forza Motorsport (2005) revisited ā The first time I ever played first-ever Forza Motorsport video game was on a rented original Xbox console in 2005. Right from the start, I was very impressed with how realistic yet accessible the game played even as it was designed by Turn 10 as a simulation. Years later, I played the succeeding Forza Motorsport games and became a fan of the series on Xbox consoles. It was delightful for me to watch the Forza Motorsport retrospective video by YouTuber Camp Xbox which you can view below.
#2 You, Me and the Movies react to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies of 1990 and 1991 ā Here in the Philippines, I saw the films Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze in local cinemas in 1990 and 1991 respectively. Each viewing experience was in a fully packed cinema which was not surprising because the TMNT franchise ā specifically the animated series on TV ā was already very popular among Filipinos and there was excitement to see the live-action versions of the popular turtles, Splinter, Shredder and April OāNeil. That being said, you should see You, Me and the Moviesā reaction videos of the two films.
#3 Israeli Air Force flies over the funeral of Hezbollahās late leader ā Several months after the successful elimination of Hezbollah leader and terrorist Nasrallah, a funeral for him was held in Lebanon and there were officials from terrorist state Iran who attended. And then something happenedā¦fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force flew over the funeral and literally took the thunder away. The terrorist group of Hezbollah got very humiliated. Watch the analytical video of Hananya Naftali below.
#4In-depth look back at the āDCEUā movies ā Remember the DC superhero movies of the so-called DCEU (DC Extended Universe)? This year, Warner Bros., DC and director James Gunn will release an all-new Superman movie and now is a good time to look back at the previous franchise of DC superhero movies released from 2013 to 2023, and I found a very comprehensive video from YouTuber FilmyHead for you to watch.
#5 PatmanQC examines Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters ā I never got to play the late-1980s game Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters in the arcade nor any of its ports. Being curious, I took time out to watch PatmanQCās video about the game. It turns out, the game itself is an inspired piece of work and it was made by Atari. I urge you to watch the video below.
#6 Popcorn in Bed reacts to Starship Troopers ā When it was first released in 1997, a lot of movie critics and moviegoers did not fully understand the themes and meaning of Starship Troopers. While many viewed it as a big-budget, loud and action-packed sci-fi flick, there was a minority of people who realized director Paul Verhoevenās (RoboCop, Total Recall) use of irony within the narrative. Months ago, Popcorn in Bed posted her reaction video and you should see how the film affects her.
#7 Ashleigh Burton reacts to The Thomas Crown Affair ā Remember watching The Thomas Crown Affair in 1999? Some people perceived it as a clever remake of the 1968 original while there were others who found it to be Pierce Brosnanās most notable non-James Bond role of the 1990s. Recently, Ashleigh Burton saw the film and you must watch her reaction video below.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the PNA news article. Some parts in boldfaceā¦
Charges of qualified human trafficking were filed by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) against 20 foreign nationals apprehended in the Feb. 20 raid of a scam hub in ParaƱaque City.
PAOCC Executive Director Gilbert Cruz said the raided Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) hub at the ATI building, in front of the ParaƱaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), ran investment and love scams using foreign nationals.
A total of 435 POGO workers, including 148 foreign nationals, were arrested at the Chinese-run hub.
āWe conducted the inquest for the foreign nationals operating the POGO hub here at PITX and we have filed charges against 20 of them,ā Cruz said in an interview.
āQualified trafficking, because you can clearly see that they facilitated the employment of individuals in this POGO hub to work here for a long time.ā
Cruz said the scam hub also had several other violations, including the lack of the necessary permits to operate.
Among the complainants were three Vietnamese women.
āThese Vietnamese women were the models they used to attract investors and then after you fall in love, thatās it, they will invite you to invest in cryptocurrency,ā Cruz said.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of ParaƱaque, do you think the presence of illegal POGOs having hundreds of employees ā both locals and foreigners ā make the city look bad? Do you consider ParaƱaque City a hot spot of criminal activities involving Chinese nationals and other foreigners? Do you think that a lot of bad money ā money sourced from scams and illegal means ā made its way into ParaƱaqueās local economy?

Recently in the City of ParaƱaque, elements of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) arrested two Chinese nationals and rescued a kidnap victim (also Chinese) who was tortured during captivity, according to a GMA Network news report.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA news article. Some parts in boldfaceā¦
A Chinese national was rescued after he was kidnapped and tortured in a condominium in ParaƱaque City on Thursday evening, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) said.
Authorities responded when they received a video from a confidential informant showing the victim being subjected to torture, according to a reported of GMA Integrated Newsā Jhomer Apresto on “Unang Balita.”The victim was covered in bruises and sustained bone fractures.
āNakuha namin yung information na nandito siya sa 1902. Then, nung kinatok nga namin, positibo, nandito ang biktima. At sinabi niya na nagtatago yung dalawang suspect doon sa mga kwarto,ā PAOCC spokesperson Winston Casio said.
(We got the information that he was here in 1902. Then, when we knocked, it was positive, the victim was indeed here. He said the two suspects were hiding in the rooms.)
Two Chinese suspects were arrested including the person who was holding a gun in the video. Recovered from the area were bladed weapons and rods.
According to PAOCC, the suspects were possibly involved in an illegal Philippine offshore gaming operator and part of a huge group.
āTalamak na kasi yung kidnapan dito sa area ng southern Metro Manila ng mga Chinese nationals. Kung anuman ang kadahilanan, minsan pinapatubos, minsan may mga pagkakautang,ā Casio said.
(The kidnapping of Chinese nationals in the area of southern Metro Manila is very serious. Whatever the reason, sometimes they were ransomed, sometimes they were in debt.)
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of ParaƱaque, how many Chinese nationals are living within your local community and secretly using the place of residence as a hideout for kidnapping and torturing people? Do you consider ParaƱaque a hot spot for criminal activities involving Chinese nationals? Do you believe in the concept of the ParaƱaque Renaissance?
