Big Mom - Can She Extend Her Own Lifespan?

$
0
0
İmage

Charlotte Linlin "Big Mom", we have seen that she has the Soru Soru no Mi - (Soul Soul Fruit), which she uses to control everything in here territory called "Totto Land". Her Devil Fruit allows her to freely interact with and manipulate human souls. It is known that she can take away several years of a person's lifespan.

Spoiler: Chapter 829
İmage

She even takes 3 years lifespan from her people, as if, it was the tax they need to pay to live in her territory. These souls are then used to give birth to the Homies. A pretty nice Devil Fruit worthy of a Yonko!

This question has been on my mind for a while, if Big Mom can freely manipulate souls and even take away several yeas of ones lifespan (like she did it with Pedro), then does that apply to her own soul as well? Her ability to take away lifespan is obviously related to the souls that she can manipulates, so can she manipulate her own soul as well? If so, does that also mean that the lifespan she takes does not go to make Homies only, but also extend her own lifespan?

What do you guys think? Can Big Mom extend her own life? If so, it would mean she could live for hundreds of years by taking on others' lifespan. Share your thoughts in this thread!

As of Chapter 202, King and Diane are still doing their training, but more importantly we are getting more backstory about the Holy War.
We know there was an alliance already between the Fairies and the Giants, and then they joined forces with the Goddess Clan as well. The goal was to end the war with the Demon Clan.
We learnt that Gloxinia and Dolor had to make a choice, either during or after the war.

What do you think that choice was?
Do you think it's got to do with defeating the Demon Clan and sealing them or with joining them?
And what could their reasons be for their decision?

Please share your opinions. :)

Ace.

Well update this once more info is released.

Best Friend – A Short Story By Kanary

This morning I opened the window to let the fresh air in. The weather outside was an instant déjà vu of that unforgettable morning, exactly 20 years ago. But it didn't make me think of that specific morning; it reminded me of you, Paul - of when we were children and used to look for insects in the fields. My favourite part of the summer was when my parents took me, my brother and my sister to the house in the town where my father was born. We would spend the entire summer there, away from the frenetic city and the school responsibilities – if there were actually any at the time. And do you know why going there was my favourite part? Because you were there, Paul. Because in a family where my brother thought he was too good to play with me and my sister and where my sister was too wild and impossible to keep up with... There was you. So in an entire year, and for three whole months, I wouldn't feel lonely.

I still remember all the games we used to play and all the worlds of our own that we used to create. We would spend the whole day running and hiding, singing and climbing, swimming in your pool and jumping in my small well. We would sometimes watch my sister beating my brother in races; and then he would be furious for the rest of the day. And we would laugh together; we would spend the entire day laughing, every day.

As we grew up, even though we were 250 km away from each other, we grew together: we would send each other letters regularly and would call each other at least once a week. Even though we only saw each other in the summer, we were each other's best friend; and it was as if we were just living next door to each other.

Then one day, when you were already studying to become a doctor, like your father, and I was studying to become a teacher, like my mother, you called me. It was one of those weekly calls, so nothing seemed out of the ordinary to me. But your voice was different and at the time I didn't find it alarming.

What you told me still echoes in my head: “Hi, Daisy. I'm just calling you to let you know that we're not going to talk to each other for a while. I'm going on a trip. I'm going somewhere far, far away, where you won't be able to reach me. But I'll be watching over you. And one day we will finally meet again. So we'll talk to each other soon, okay?”.

At the time I finished the call with a “okay, I'll talk to you soon, when you're back”, not knowing what you actually meant.
On the next day, so on that morning, 20 years ago, my mother called me and before she even spoke, I knew already: you were gone. If only I had realised what you actually meant on that phone call... Maybe you wouldn't have gone. Or maybe you would, just not on that day.
My best friend: gone. Why? Why did you do that? I had no idea those kind of thoughts were going through your head. If only I had known, we would have found a solution: together.
My mother told me that your mother found you unconscious on your bed, with an opened box of pills next to it, on the floor. And by the time she found you, it was too late.

It's been 20 years and I still don't know what kind of burden you were carrying on your shoulders to make you do what you did; but I've somehow been able to accept it. You're my best friend, Paul, so I'm sure you're watching over me. And I am thinking of you.

Based on a true story.

Mafia III - Review & Thoughts

Spoilers ahead if you haven´t played the Game.

Gameplay & Mechanics
Similiar to GTA IV & GTA V style, if not the same. It´s simple, easy, feels good and smooth running, driving and shooting around the Open World with your character exploring the new stuff and collecting the hidden trophies, we all want that 100% at the end of the game.

The beginning was nice, introducing us to our character Lincoln Clay with our first mission being Bank infliltration and stealing the money. I even liked the fact they stopped the mission midway and we went back in time a few days to "remember" and play thought the past and come to this very same mission by finding out what we did to come to this very moment. This flashback was cool, we had a few missions in it and I like the fact you can do it either stealth or just rampage in there by shooting. After playing few missions we came back to the bank case and started again at the spot and time where our flashback on the last week started... Finishing the mission and getting my hopes up about this game was great, but all I got is disappointment.
Why disappointment? Don´t get me wrong here, the shooting, setting, characters and soundtrack are all great and awesome, but the gameplay story, is simply dull and repetive without anything changing thought the whole game.
I like, or better said, I love the fact we are working together with CIA Agent and taking over the territories + destroying the mafia organization piece by piece, but the main problem here is it is simply repetive gaming doing the same thing over and over again in each and every new city/territory out there. All we do is doing enough damage to the bosses income so that he shows up and then we just have to go there and kill him. Not to mention, they show up at the places I already cleaned up and destroyed which makes no sense at all. Simply said, the whole game runs around the two things, drive around the city and do enough "money" damage and then kill the boss/leader. If they implanted there a few missions where you have to do it another way around or just somehow where I can´t run inside and just shoot everyone finishing the mission in 5 minutes. I hate the fact that we don´t have to do something "undercover" or just change our clothes for the missions and steal something. I had to steal 10,000$ in one mission where the place was full with cops outside and inside, but it took me 2 minutes to go inside and finish it while the cops were making out with girls outside in one ally. How the hell is it possible you can´t notice a searched black man going inside your bar 5 meter behind you? It just makes no sense, plus the fact those 10,000$ were just out there, not in a safe or something.
Dull and repetive gaming, again. If you like the shooting and running around the open world, please do play it because you will have fun with it. For me, a game such as Mafia III needs to have the difference in missions, because that´s what makes it great and fun playing. If I wanted shooting game, I´d go and play Call of Duty Multiplayer.

More to it. Weapon battles or let´s just say battlefields feel good, you can run around and be pro active in it while being able to cover yourself behind any object next or infront of you, cover feels good and is running smooth with no problems, great mechanics are not needed, it´s simple to get a hang of it.
But, the enemy is disappointing too. They just run towards you and try to close the range being open for you to shoot down and go ahead, even their covering is not much, the heads are visible and easy to shoot down. If you want any challenge against computer bots, play the game on the hardest level.

Tooltips are annoying repeating everything over and over, like we won´t ever get a hang of it. There are a few great perks in the game I like, like calling the backup to help you take the enemies down, or the perk of turning all the phones off and calling the cops off, but that´s all to it.
The best perk here is calling the weapon dealer to you, and he really does come to you in a matter of seconds for you to buy or replenish your ammo/weapons.

Mechanics are easy, one button for crouching, one button for stealth takedowns and one button for covers is all you need to do the missions in a stealth way. I don´t think I need to add anything here, but if you already played a game similiar to this like GTA IV or V, you should be alright with Mafia III.


Gameplay Bugs/Glitches
Gameplay bugs are not rare in Mafia III. I had to start the game all over again just because I went exploring Open World and plundered one of the enemies bases. And without noticing I couldn´t finish the mission with damaging the property and taking the money in order to move on with the missions. The enemies were there, but there was no money or the drugs I had to destroy, all I could hear are the voices of the woman and man working in the drug house, but no one and no crates to destroy were there. Hopefully it was not that much into the game, so I got to it fast enough again from the beginning. This happened with 2 missions before too, thought I did succed in finishing them somehow.

Graphic, Video and Music
Graphics are good, could be a bit better. But I find the textures alright with good animation of shooting and all the objects around yourself.
Videos/Flashbacks are animation made and the graphic and quality could be a lot better, but I can´t say it was bad, but great with the possibility of being perfect.
The music is just awesome, the old style music is the best when you drive your car around being shot at. Thought you have only a few radio stations, but I guess that is understandable it being 1968 year.

Story
Story is actually great, in my opinion. Even the flashbacks inbetween and mission explanations and discussions are all great, but it lost its point with the dull and repetive gaming. I love it that we aren´t working as mafioso or under someone here, but just taking a revenge on the big boss and destorying the very own organization and becoming allied with your enemy enemies or friends and working with them. If you want any more info on the story, I suggest you check the Mafia III on google, I can´t mention anything that´s already not mentioned.

Rating:

Story: 8/10
Gameplay Missions: 3/10
Gameplay Mechanics:7/10
Overall Game: 4.5/10

P.S. After 8 hours of playing it gets annoying and repetive, losing the will to play and your hopes of it getting a bit different and better. As said, if you love running around the open world shooting, you should get this game, becase I guess you might like and enjoy it.

The latest TV news is that a Big Bang spin-off is in the works. CBS is reportedly working on a series centered around one character in particular. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network is developing a spin-off about the life of young Sheldon Cooper.

The new show would reportedly focus on a teenage version of the genius theoretical physicist and will come from Big Bang co-creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady along with showrunner Steve Molaro, though none of the current 'Big Bang Theory' cast is involved, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

There are reports that the prequel would be single-cam, as opposed to 'Big Bang Theory's' multi-cam format:
