Giant Plant

After she captures her opponents in “Injustice 2,” Poison Ivy brings back memories of the film “Little Shop of Horrors” because she throws her enemy to a giant plant monster which eats her foes, GameRant reports. The gaming website notes the villainess’ excellence in almost all aspects of the game’s combat system. She releases toxic blasts by using long- to mid-range projectile, successive punches and kicks, close-range grapples that stun and incapacitate her foes, and assists based on fauna which adds multipliers to combos.
Radical Botanical Biochemist
According to the new trailer for “Injustice 2,” Poison Ivy is Dr. Pamela Isley. She used to be an innovative and radical botanical biochemist whose primary goal was to make the world a safe planet for plant life to flourish, PlayStation Lifestyle reports. She is one of the 27 characters so far introduced by the studio. However, more characters are expected to be introduced before the new game would be released on May 16 on PlayStation 4 and other platforms.

Leader

North Korea's state television aired footage of a choral performance attended by Kim Jong Un, the elder Kim's grandson, on Sunday, a day after a huge military parade in Pyongyang, which also marked the 105th birth anniversary of Kim Il Sung.

The singing was followed by footage of its test-firing of a missile in February which, in the video, was joined by other missiles shooting into sky, passing over the Pacific and exploding in giant balls of flames in the United States.

The video ended with a picture of the American flag in flames, overlapping row after row of white crosses in a cemetery.

"When the performance was over, all the performers and participants in the military parade broke into enthusiastic cheers of "hurrah!" state run KCNA news agency said.

State TV footage showed leader Kim smiling and waving in return.

"The Dear Supreme Leader waved back to them and congratulated the artistes on their successful performance," KCNA said.

Golem

Golem 1927's critically acclaimed Golem is to return for a tour of the UK, Europe and Asia. The production, a mix of live performance, music, film and animation, is about a normal man whose life is changed when he buys a creature to help with his daily affairs. 

Written and directed by Suzanne Andrade, Golem is loosely based on Gustav Meyrink's dark thriller Der Golem and challenges and satirises a world increasingly obsessed with technology. 

After its world premiere at the Salzburg Festival in 2014, it ran for two months at the Young Vic before transferring to the West End. It has since toured the world and won a Critics' Circle Award for design in 2015.

In Jewish folklore, a golem is an animated anthropomorphic being that is magically created entirely from inanimate matter. The word was used to mean an amorphous, unformed material in Psalms and medieval writing.

The Golem is a novel written by Gustav Meyrink in 1914. First published in serial form as Der Golem in 1913-14 in the periodical Die weissen Blätter, The Golem was published in book form in 1915 by Kurt Wolff, Leipzig. 

Ferryland

The town of Ferryland has a prime view of Iceberg Alley, so called because from spring to September, icebergs regularly break off in the Arctic and float down past the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. 

Over 600 icebergs have already floated into the North Atlantic this year, compared to a total of 687 over the whole season. Experts believe that this year’s bumper crop is down to strong counter-clockwise winds, as well as global warming.

Although most of the icebergs pass happily down the coast, Ferryland’s new visitor appears to be grounded, mayor Adrian Kavanagh told The Canadian Press. And while the coast alongside it was packed over the weekend, if, as predicted, it sticks around, the number of visitors is expected to grow.

Gothique

Spellbound

Like many people I am more of an outsider than the leader of the pack. I am attracted to Gothic sub-culture. I've been to see Gothic bands and have a literary background in the indicated reading matter, but I always knew it was pointless to try and be a Goth.

One icon for me has been Siouxsie Sioux, eternally cool, eternally unattainable. I'd hate to be a music journalist trying to get her to open up, trying to find some way to penetrate her seamless armour.

Just lately I have fallen under the spell of Pantagruella I look at her photos and feel myself falling, subject to the gravity of an allure I can barely express.

They say the moon falls endlessly towards the Earth. I feel like that. I'm as close to the abyss as I can ever be. I need to be content with that.

Jelly Factory

Jelly Factory

Some games, are designed to be nothing more than fan service. Take Senran Kagura for example. The entire premise of that game, revolves around beating your opponent so badly that their clothing manages to explode into threads. Threads that somehow manage to keep certain bits of their anatomy covered. And of course your opponents are mostly busty girls. It’s a rather titillating sub-genre that has managed to carve a niche out for itself in Japan and the west. And the creators of Senran Kagura are going for something even more salacious in Valkyrie Drive.

Marvelous has a new franchise on the way, which will be hitting several media platforms. Valkyrie Drive was shown off at the AnimeJapan Expo on the weekend, with its creators announcing an anime series, console and mobile game launch. Starring several plucky anime girls, the series revolves around who can transform into weapons, through various methods. Kagayaki Mirai has the launch trailer, which may NSFW due to more jiggle than a jelly factory and the fact that this video may set off amber alerts. If you’ve ever watched anything that Kenichiro Takaki has had a hand in producing, you’ll know what to expect here:
