Indian Gamers Face Arrest For Playing ‘PUBG’

It may come to a surprise to many but the battle royal game PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) is VERY popular in India. While many players feel that the game has become a, “been there, done that” experience. Many even scoffed at the mobile version of the game when it came out, but in mobile-loving India, it’s the greatest thing ever! Why is PUBG such a hit among players? As mentioned above, India loves mobile technology. Mobile users in the country range in the hundreds of millions! Another reason why the game is popular is the use of in-game voice chatting which allows players to communicate with one another if they’re playing in a squad. This has led to many players to befriend their virtual squadmates in the real world. India, like many other countries, loves to be competitive in any way possible and that’s not limiting to the world of competitive gaming known as E-Sports. Also in a culture that bases

‘Hero’ Stray Dog In Bear Attack Video: The Disturbing Truth

In the infamous selfie bear attack video, an Indian man was mauled to death by an injured Sloth Bear after he tried to take a selfie with it. It was reported and it’s seen in the video that a stray dog rushed over in the middle of the tussle in what was described as an attempt to “help” the man being attacked. There are a couple things wrong with the statement, first, it’s what’s called in the field (as well as others) anthropomorphic, that’s when you give human characteristics to something nonhuman in this case, animals. Humans tend to give titles to actions animals are doing while in reality, it’s instinct or just an action. For example, I interned at a Zoo as part of my curriculum in college and I was helping out at a bear exhibit, I had to throw a bag full of trash we collected over a fence leading into a “behind the scenes” area with

What You Should Have Learned From The Indian Bear Attack Video

The internet again is buzzing with the latest shocking news story with no filters, a man in India being mauled to death by a bear while he tried to take a selfie with it. The attack took place after the man who was identified as a cab driver stopped off to relieve himself in a wooded area by a watering hole. While the man was there he noticed an injured Sloth Bear and decided to take a selfie with the animal. The bear reacted like how you would expect, it attacked the man. As the man was pinned to the ground, bystanders shouted at the bear and filmed the attack on their phones as Darwinism unfolded before their eyes. The footage clearly showed that the man was no match for the bear and as a result was killed. The bear was captured and was treated for its injuries. It should be noted that India has the highest rate of selfie-related

Morbid Beauty: Tipu’s Tiger

In the 18th century, England set its sights on colonizing India. India was prosperous in its own ways and would enter the modern age on its own time but England viewed it differently that they were backwater savages that needed to be forced into the present and to grovel thankfully for it. Obviously, this did not sit well with many of the country’s inhabitants leading to deep seeded resentment at the time (and still felt today somewhat). Nothing illustrates this more than the hand-cranked automaton known as Tipu’s Tiger. The machine depicts a tiger on top of a British soldier biting his neck as the soldier lies with a look of horror on his face. That’s not the end of it, the soldier moves; well his arm does in a flailing motion making the hand uncover the mouth where a metal pipe is and allows air to come out making a dull wailing sound as if the man is screaming.
