The Ouster of John Bolton probably means the some signals for the North Korea?

Some western media have reported that Trump's National Security Advisor John Bolton was fired. There are various opinions about this decision.

However, I personally think this surprising separation definitely indicates that Trump administration seeks for the deeper negotiation with North Korea.

For example, the nuclear problems of the Korean peninsula have been major issues for the U.S.. Therefore, it seems that the U.S. president tries to solve this long standing hardship at once.

One of the reasons why the government wants to deal with the troublesome country though it needs the serious outcome which leads to the betrayal against his most reliable friend would be that in order to win the next Presidential Election, Trump need some kind of achievement which the Democrat's former president never got.

The future Where this amazing decision lead us remains to be seen.

Resident Evil 2 RE : Impression & Review

Resident Evil 2 RE (known as Biohazard 2 in Japan) has received a lot of praises since its release. In my opinion, as an enthusiastic fan of the series, 
this title is a little bit disappointing one. There are several reasons for this.

First, compared to "Resident Evil 4" which is the most sophisticated sequel in the franchise, this one severely lacks various ingame features. For example, in RE4. you could collect valuable items and sell them to the merchant, which enables the user to get a lot of money for buying many interesting weapons and healing items that help you to proceed with the story. This system especially works in that even novice players can complete the entire game by collecting, selling or buying things.

On the other hand, in RE2RE, you cannot sell any item or buy things, what is more, there is no notion of Money in it. I think this makes RE2RE more boring and very mediocre. I cannot understand why the developers adopt the money feature in the game.

Another complaint about the RE2RE system is character modeling. Why on the earth does Lion have to have a cleft chin?  Why does Clair become such a cheerleader-like-obnoxious girl? and, most importantly, what happened to the once beautiful woman "Annette Birkin" who is now an old ugly woman in RE2RE.

In conclusion, I admit that this remake has a lot of great pleasure and some of the upgrades are good. However, they could make a much more interesting game by referring to the previous successful ones.

Nobel Prize For Trump Recommended by Japanese Prime Minister

Several Media outlets have reported that Japanese Prime minister Abe recommended Trump for the Nobel Prize.

The reactions of Japanese people toward this topic seem favorable so far. This is probably because SO many Japanese people actually like (or more appropriately admire) him very much. Of course, there are a certain number of criticisms against him in this country, but a lot of the sun-rising inhabitants really fond of his strong messages and political ideology.

For one thing, since the Trump administration began,  Japanese national security and economy have been remarkably improving along with America. Most people in Japan recognize this great change no matter what their political creeds are.

For example, during Obama's era, Japan was often threatened by not only North Korea's missiles, but also China's Territorial brutal actions.  At that time, we needed to protect ourselves only by ourselves. However, after Trump, North Korea has begun to be calm and the Chinese invasion has been successfully intercepted by the strong American presence in this "Far East" area.

In addition, the speed of the Japanese economic growth has also increased rapidly.  It can be said that the strong diplomatic & trade relationship between Japan and America hugely contribute to this recent trend. Certainly, there are a few arguments out there, but the advantages of the two countries' tie undoubtfully outweigh the demerits definitely.

All in all, Almost all Japanese people would somewhat agree with Trump's nomination for Nobel  Prize by Abe. Maybe, Mr. Trump is now much more popular in Japan than in his own country.

Liberal Influence on Game World

These days, the liberal influence on game inductry has become more and more obvious. Without being noticed, It has tried to manipulate people's opinion by showing some liberal stories in which anti-christianity and anti-consevatism are encouraged.

For example, the up-to-date software [DETROIT BECOME HUMAN] would be the best game to explain this kind of phenomenon. In this game, you are told androids are like human and they must be treated like human. Don't you think it imitates something? This story clearly refers to the immigration issues which have been happening around the world nowadays. Humans are to Androids what Locals are to Immigrants. Therefore, there are so many liberal rhetoric in its story. It depicts that humans are cruel and androids are victims. This is exactly what the Mainstream Media have been doing when it comes to their coverage about immigration problems.

The software tries to make its players think that androids which mean immigrants are right, and humans who oppose them are wrong.

What is more disturbing thing in the gaming world would be the attack on the Christianity. They do not criticize the religion group, but aim to defame its credibility indirectly. For instance, [Far Cry 5] is the one. In gaming world, crazy persons are always created by christianity-like religious group. Those games insult the Christianity by depicting it as strange things.  The funny thing is that they never treat Judaism or Islam like that.

This kind of liberalism are often seen especially in big games which are tremendously invested. I think that in order to create big games like [DETROIT BECOME HUMAN] or [Far Cry5], game creators need to become the liberal person to gather money for them.

Why is Ivanka Trump so popular in Japan?

It might be quite strange phenomenon for Americans that quite a few Japanese citizens love the controversial US president's first daughter. In fact, the popularity of Ivanka Trump is much higher than her daddy in Japan.

There would be several reasons for this odd trend.

For one thing, she is a person that perfectly match the Japanese image of "American woman". Beautiful blond hair, charming smile, angel-like body style...those have attracted not only Japanese men, but also women.

For example, when she came to Japan for the first time, she attended "the World Assembly for Women". Some Western media fiercely criticized her because she wore a super-miniskirt. However, on the contrary, Japanese people were very glad to see her stylish fashion.

Therefore, If she becomes the next president of the United States, the Japan-US relationship might improve significantly.

The contemporary issues of theological trends Vol.1

Nowadays, almost all christian groups have been suffering from the serious decreasing of its members. If this movement would not be dealt with, the entire population of the believers might be tremendously shrunk. Some reports say that within few decades, the number of Muslims around the world would surpass that of Christians because of their high birthrates.

It is necessary for us to discuss why the rapid collapsion has been seen in the christian society these days. There would be a few candidates for that. First and foremost, the betrayal behaviors of some Chiristian scholars can be pointed as the major contributors for the great crisis. Among the ambitious theologians, it is very common to criticize the Biblical contents or traditional concepts. However, these accusations sometimes damage the credibility of the christian organizations or the main principles.

What is the most disgusting thing for this is that those people who blame their own religious community could gain a lot of benefits like academic positions or book sales as a results of their overly exaggerated theories.
