Xbox Games Showcase Recap – New Reveals And More

author img
BY March 28, 2022

The time is finally here, and we’re getting a better look at first-party Microsoft games. The next-gen rollout is still on schedule for this holiday season. That said, Xbox showed little of their own games before this event. Now, we have a better idea of what to expect from Microsoft’s new collection of developers. The Xbox Games Showcase showed off games from 9 of 15 Xbox Game Studios outfits. If you’re excited about the Xbox Series X, then you’ll want to read this Xbox Games Showcase recap.

Xbox Games Showcase Recap – Full Rundown of New Titles

Nobody doubted that Halo Infinite would be the first reveal of the series. Halo has a long and exciting history, and this series is Microsoft’s prize possession. From there, we saw titles and DLC from popular studios now under the Microsoft Games Studio wing. Here’s what you missed from the event.

Halo Infinite Gameplay Reveal

In the gameplay video for Halo Infinite, we saw nearly 9 minutes of actual action from the game. There’s a new grappling hook, there are familiar enemies, and a gorgeous look at Reach. The game is relatively open-world with a new map and refreshingly open UI. We’ll get more info down the road, but the game is still set to release this holiday.

State of Decay 3 – Xbox Game Showcase Trailer

The trailer for State of Decay 3 wasn’t a surprise, but very welcome. With gorgeous graphics and a fun and ominous trailer, a well-polished game could be killer for Microsoft. As an Xbox One owner, State of Decay 2 is my fourth most-played game of all time. I love the world and this looks to be a huge step up for the series.

Xbox Game Showcase Reveals for Forza and Everwild

We got a look at two new projects coming our way from top developers, Rare and Turn 10. The latter is working on a gorgeous-looking Forza Motorsport game. Meanwhile, Rare revealed their new fantasy-world game, Everwild, which is seen above. The game looks to be in keeping with their unique design style and should be a great addition to the Xbox Series X.

A Slew of New Games and DLC Optimized for Xbox Series X

The next sequence of titles revealed included new games and fun DLC to come. From Dontnods, we’ll be getting a story-driven game called Tell Me Why. Like many story-driven games, this will release in chapters, starting with Chapter One on August 27th. Then, we got a look at a huge upgrade for Ori and the Will of the Wisps. The game will run with low latency and 120 frames per second on the Xbox Series X. Next, two things we knew were coming. A new DLC for The Outer Worlds is coming September 9th called Peril on Gorgon. Plus, Grounded, another Obsidian title, is coming July 28th for Xbox One. It will have Smart Delivery for Xbox Series X.

Before moving on, Obsidian also revealed a third title in development. The game, Avowed, is a first-person RPG. The game looks like a slightly more cartoonish version of The Elder Scrolls games. That’s not a knock either; I think this could be a huge game for the developer and Xbox.

More Xbox Game Studios Reveals

The following developers showed off new titles for upcoming games. Interior/Night revealed their first game, As Dusk Falls. Next, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 revealed an Icelandic setting in developer Ninja Theory’s reveal.

Next, Double Fine debuted Psychonauts 2 featuring a song and appearance from Jack Black. Odd, but not unwelcome. Lastly, Bungie is showing love for its original publisher-of-choice by moving Destiny 2 and all DLC to Xbox Game Pass. A brand new DLC releases November 10th.

Unexpected Reveals at the Game Event

These next few titles took me and many others by surprise. First, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is going to be a launch title for the Xbox Series X. The game did not knowingly have a sequel in the works, as far as I know. The trailer is up above.

Next, we saw Warhammer 40K DarkTide. The game is set to release in 2021. Seriously, don’t sleep on the Warhammer games, even if you don’t follow Dungeons and Dragons and other like-minded board games. Next, TETRIS EFFECT CONNECTED had a wonderful trailer, despite nobody really asking for this game to exist. It launches this holiday.

Next up, in what is certainly my least-favorite game title so far in all of next-gen reveals: The Gunk. The game trailer looked good and seems a bit like a space exploration game meets Super Mario Sunshine.

The Medium Renders Two Worlds at Once…For Real

Following that game whose name we won’t mention in this house ever again is The Medium. This psychological thriller title renders two worlds at once. As you change your view back and forth, two entire game worlds exist at the same time. It looks incredible, and it’s probably my favorite reveal outside of Halo and the grand finale (don’t peek ahead, we’re almost there friends).

New Genesis PSO 2 and CrossFire X Look Incredible

The Xbox Game Showcase seemingly ended with two great reveals. First, SEGA’s New Genesis Phantasy Star Online 2 is a great reveal that surprised many. This series might need a “history of” post down the line for those who don’t know about it. In short, PSO 2 launched in 2012, and many lost hope for a new title. Insetad, we’re getting a brand new, revamped version of PSO2 with expanded content and better graphics. Sign me up.

Then, we saw CrossFire X, a game that looks like Call of Duty if those games didn’t have terrible campaigns anymore. Seriously, this is like a good FPS campaign meets Crysis and I’m here for it. The gameplay and editing of the trailer really got me hyped. Surprisingly, I really want my hands on this one.

One More Thing…FABLE!

Did I yell “thank you” at my computer screen when this trailer started playing? You bet I did. The Fable series desperately needed to return, and the world looks fantastic. The humor and design of these games are incredible, and we’re well overdue for a new adventure. Playground Games last launched a Fable game, Fable 3, ten years ago. For reference as to just how long I’ve waited for this. I took two days off to play Fable 3…during my sophomore year of high school. I promise you I’m not the only one who waited for this.

That’s your Xbox Games Showcase recap. What did you like, and what let you down? If you have thoughts, then drop them in the comments. Thanks for reading Comic Years for all things gaming, comics, and pop culture.

RayS, I’m doing exactly what you were thinking – I have a laptop at the rack (running lights via USB to DMX, remotely controlled from the FOH laptop, and soon recording via the shiny new Dante card!), but looking at that ipMIDI link it seems to refer specifically to using it with applications on the connected computers – do you need to be running a program to get the midi data in and out, or does it simply act as a bridge between connected midi devices (so the USB behringer unit & a USB midi interface at the other pc)?

Hi all,   Very new to this but I've recently had Webex integration installed to work with my VC unit which is a Tandberg MXP3000. Everything works fine apart from when i share content (display presentation) it is unreadable and incredibly blurry. Whe...

Cannot move file geodatabase in AGOL to another folder

05-17-2021 07:32 AM
New Contributor III

I recently created a script that exports a feature layer to a file geodatabase, then it's supposed to move it to a designated folder. It works 90% of the time, however, I have came across a problem that sometimes I cannot move a FGDB to the designated folder and it gives me an "An item 'Feature layer name' already exists in folder" when there clearly is not (When the item is downloaded the time and date are added to the title, making them all have a different name). I have experienced this with empty folders as well. They still download but they stay in the root folder. What's odd too is that I can move them to other folders, just not the one specified in the code. Any advice on a workaround? Thanks. Below is the error I get.

    Hi! My name is Joey and am new to using Hitfilm. I came over from using Filmora and gotta say I'm really enjoying the additional features and the ability to use 3D environments in projects now. I run a small YouTube channel by the name Joe's Geek Show which is a comic book review channel but I also have an fascination with film making and also do short sketches and skits. I work against a green screen and am always trying new things to improve my visuals and overall viewer experience.

    Hi everyone my name is Michael. I’m very new to HitFilm Express and to VFX and video editing in general. I’m from Louisiana originally but now live in Maine. I’m going back and forth with hitfilm and da Vinci to see what one fits best and hitfilm is pulling a head xD. @Triem23 suggested Hitfilm Express so I want to mention and say thank you so much for the advice already and I look forward to meeting people on the forum!

    @MichaelC3 that was on Reddit, right?

    Welcome to the FXhome forum. If any questions come up, feel free to bring em here. The Hitfilm Reddit community seems enthusiastic and helpful, but I've noticed more well-meaning, but incorrect advise there than here.

    @Triem23 actually it was on the ActionVfX forum but good to know about Reddit I’ll keep that in mind while visiting there. Thanks again!

    Hello, Ben in North Pole, Alaska, and a complete noob, trying to make a few gaming videos!

    I've been gaming since I was a kid, and have 2 pretty good systems. There is an excessive amount of alcoholism and drug use in Alaska, and I believe showing people how much fun PC gaming can be can get them onto a new hobby, that's more entertaining, and better for them, so I believe strongly in this work. I know how to game, I have the rigs, I just need to learn how to edit!

    Favorite content creators ? Gamer's Nexus and Hardware Unboxed for the hardware side.

    For the gaming side.... if I was to emulate one gaming creator that had the best commentary, best editing, best overall videos, it would be Games4Kickz. His videos are immaculately produced and entertaining as hell!

    My Current games: Division 2, 7 Days to Die, Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Divinity: Original Sin 2 - prepping for Baldur's Gate 3.

    Current rig: MSI MEG X570 ACE, Ryzen 5800X, RTX 3080 Fe, 64 Gb Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 3200, and 2 Tb Corsair MP600.

    PLEASE, by all means, throw me some links, I record with Shadowplay/GeForce Experience, to MP4. Trying to figure out how to import, I see I need to make sure the video is transcoded..? I am not sure how to tell that from the file properties. Do I assume it's not? Can HitFilm transcode, or do I need to transcode and prepare my video files first, before HitFilm will allow me to import? Any suggestions for a program that can transcode and convert the MP4 file to a proper format? Any tips would be MUCH appreciated! Looking forward to get into this amazing work!

    @badbenny911 Welcome to the forums! Gaming videos are hugely popular, so you should do well with that. You have picked a good gaming channel to emulate, so that will help a lot as well.

    Game captures with Shadowplay/GeForce Experience are most definitely done in a Variable Frame Rate, so you will need to transcode that footage to a Fixed Frame Rate before editing it in HitFilm. This can be done in several different applications. My go to app for transcoding is Handbrake.

    Handbrake Website:

    I've made a couple of tutorials on Handbrake, so feel free to take a look at them...

    Also, for more information on some ideas for exact settings to optimize your footage in Handbrake for Hitfilm, check out this video from @Triem23 at the 23:43 minute mark:

    Lastly, definitely take a look at these two Master Courses...

    The HitFilm Basics Masterclass is by @JavertValbarr and is a great place to start for beginners. The Game On Masterclass is by @OliThompson and is perfect for a video game channel creator like yourself.

    Good luck with your endeavor, and if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask!

    Hello! I was pointed to Hitfilm from, which is actually for home audio recording enthusiasts.

    I'm from central Ohio, I've been working in video (audio side) since 1989. Originally at a production/post facility, for the most recent 25 years, I've moved into live sports production. In between, I had done a fair amount of graphics and animation, working in Lightwave (on a Video Toaster, at first) and Softimage, compositing with Digital Fusion.

    While I'm fairly solid in audio work, I occasionally need to edit some video. I was around when the first Avid editors were coming into service. Trying to jump into modern editing now is quite a handful, I'm looking for tutorials. Trying to understand tracks, for editing multicamera video shoots. Align the clips, then switch tracks to edit.

    I work full time, so I will only check in sporadically, nice to meet all of you.

    @Vassaux Welcome nad I hope you get to do the things you would like to do using HitFilm. I started out with the Video Toaster too while in Ohio but was hard to keep up with it while moving around so much in the military.

    I believe Javert has a good place to start on video editing so I copied the link for you to check it out when you get the time. Happy editing.

    I don't really like sharing much about myself, but I just turned 20yrs in college living in the US. I recently got into video editing out of curiosity, so hitfilm express is my first software use. It may have been out of curiosity but I'm beginning to find my passion for it. I have zero experience going in, but the tutorials have helps greatly. Favorite tv series would be The Magicians. For now, I'm focusing on improving my skills.

    Hello, @LuminaryTheaters , sounds like me in 2012 😅

    And yes, whoever at FXhome decided back then that making tutorials would be the backbone of Hitfilm's road to success just ab-so-lutely nailed it.

    So, have fun, create, and welcome to a world of never-ending possibilities 👍

    I'm Aarambh||18||born in 2002

    from India, those overedited pieces of indian soap opera you see on yt XD

    im here to change that perception of indian editors as i do know some rlly great editors

    when it comes to the actual work im a complete noobie, i can barely say that i know the basics however i have the desire to learn. "Lil Bored" i've been watching him and it made me curious about his timeline so i did some browsing i found this to be the perfect hobby for me, hell i am even passionate about it now

    my favourite movie is "From Hell"(2001)

    i want to create horror as it involves both the audio and video to produce good horror

    i want to a lot of freelancing even for free

    as you can see my borders are not clear, i hope to find my thing in the days to come

    • I am from India.
    • Hmmm? There are a lot of reasons, but the best one is, My job requires me too travel too much, sometimes in India and sometimes out of India, and in these days, I have lot of fun, I recorded hundreds of videos, but I have no idea how to combine them together, So I bought some books on videography and one of them mentioned video editing, "A WAY TO COMBINE VIDEOS TOGETHER", I became excited and came across Vegas Pro 13, I used it till the Vegas Pro 18, and then seeing no change in UI, I quitted it and installed Hitfilm Express, and seeing such great features and UI in Hitfilm, I purchased the pro version.
    • My favorite creators are Daniel Schiffer (A youtuber), and Justus McCranie (Again youtuber).
    • My favorite movie is Avatar, I love how the CGI was done in that movie.
    • I am locked under NDA, but it's a medieval movie and we are just shooting it, can't reveal the name.

    I am Arpit, Videography is not my profession, I do it very rarely for studios and clients. But when I am free, I love to make short movies and CGIs. I used internet from 2010, but I involved in social platforms just some 2 years ago.

    @krishd3 Welcome to the forums (although you have been here for a while!) 😁

    It's a small world... I know Justus McCranie. I did some work for him and his Christian based filmmaking academy, Tomorrow's Filmmakers. In addition to that, one of my old karate students is now a music producer and has also done some work for him.

MyBB 1.0 Released
Today, the MyBB Group presents you with MyBB 1.0. MyBB is a powerful, efficient and free forum package developed in PHP and MySQL. Developed with the end users in mind, you and your subscribers will feel right at home with full control over their accounts as well as your control over your forums.

MyBB 1.0 marks the end in along and painful process of various beta releases in our attempt to create a stable working copy of MyBB safe for use in production environments.

This release also fixes two sets of important security vulnerabilities discovered in MyBB. imei reported one set of vulnerabilities, which will not be made public under any advisory. The second set, discovered by tk fixes potential SQL injection problems with uncleaned variables. Coinciding with this release as an advisory outlining that these vulnerabilities exist, however no specific information will be released at this stage [details on affected arguments and files].

For this reason, we recommend all users update to 1.0 as soon as possible.

You may discuss this announcement here: http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=5185

Thank you for your continued support,
Chris Boulton & MyBB Group.

New Features / Changes
We tried to keep the number of changes from PR2 to 1.0 at a bare minimum to ensure that new bugs weren't created. Noticeable changes include:
  • A "Find Updated" link in the templates section which allows you to identify any custom templates that you currently have which have been updated since your last upgrade.
  • A new default theme, based on ideas off Chris, Darren and Kilroy. The new theme includes an updated image set and logo.
Where to from here?
Several things are underway here at the MyBB Group. You'll be hearing more about this soon, such as where we're headed with MyBB now, as well as developments with documentation (the wiki), and team structural changes and new positions.

Upgrade Notes
Upgrading your board follows the same simple process that RC4 -> PR2 did.

You will not lose any changed templates if you're running PR2. Earlier versions require a full revert to the standard MyBB templates.

Assuming you're already running PR2:
  • Upload all of the MyBB files with the exception of inc/config.php, and inc/settings.php.
  • Run the upgrade script in your web browser at /install/upgrade.php.
  • After the upgrade is complete, login to your Admin CP and use the "Find Updated" tool in the templates section to search for any custom templates you have which may need to be updated. You'll need to update your custom templates to contain the new code, or revert them to the default.
Changed Templates
Between PR2 and 1.0 there were a vast number of template changes made. Most edits were some minor mark-up changes or removing the "Reset" buttons on forms. For this reason, the list is fairly extensive and won�t be posted.

Free household maintenance and befriending scheme launched across Buck

Handy Helper project to give support to vulnerable and isolated in their homes.

Community Impact Bucks has launched its free Handy Helper project which helps people with odd jobs, small repairs and maintenance tasks that they are unable to do for themselves in their homes. It also provides some social interaction to help tackle loneliness.

Helping vulnerable and isolated Bucks residents who are 65+ and infirm or living with a disability, the project enables people to live safely and securely in their own homes for longer by:

  • Alleviating the stress caused by being unable to deal with household tasks/repairs
  • Minimising risks and hazards in and around the home
  • Providing the opportunity to make social connections.

The free service offers visits and help from DBS-checked Community Impact Bucks staff members and volunteers. The types of jobs undertaken include:

  • Home safety and falls prevention measures
  • Odd jobs e.g. replacing light bulbs, resetting clocks/thermostats, repairing door handles
  • External maintenance e.g. garden clearance, leaf collecting, painting fences/sheds
  • Removal and disposal of small household items and green/general waste
  • Home security measures e.g. locks, wireless alarms, key safes
  • Small DIY jobs tasks e.g. flat packed furniture, putting up shelves
  • Moving furniture
  • Putting up/taking down Christmas decorations

“This project is unique – it combines two things which our more vulnerable residents really need; help with odd jobs around their homes and a visit from a friendly face who can give that much-needed social interaction,” said Samantha Hardy, Community Impact Bucks’ project manager. “Handy Helpers is all about local community participation and we’d love to hear from anyone who is able to give some spare time to help in our clients’ homes.”

The 12-month project is funded by Aylesbury Vale District Council, Wycombe District Council and Chiltern and South Bucks District Councils and follows two pilot schemes which ran in Aylesbury/ Aylesbury Vale and Gerrards Cross in 2017 and 2018.

A spokesperson on behalf of the District Councils commented: “The District Councils have long recognised that house conditions can have a major impact on health and wellbeing.  Each Council is therefore keen to support services which aim to reduce accidents at home, improve health and wellbeing and enable older people stay independent and in their homes for longer.”

What is a Backlink? 4 Things You Need to Know

What is a Backlink? 4 Things You Need to Know

Table of Contents
Sign up for our newsletter to get exclusive content marketing news and resources.

As of June 30, 2019, more than 4.5 million people viewed the more than 1.5 billion websites that exist on the internet. So, if you have a business website or a blog, how do you drive traffic to your particular corner of the web? The answer to that question is through search engine optimization (SEO). One way to optimize your SEO is to cultivate relationships with other websites to generate backlinks.

What is a backlink?

Simply speaking, a backlink on a website is a link to your website from another site. When another website links to you, creating a backlink, the other website is essentially endorsing your site for quality content.

For an example of a backlink, imagine this: you have a travel blog, and you want your readers to be able to navigate to the website of a particular travel service, airline, or hotel chain. You would embed a link to that business's website onto your own website, thus creating a backlink for the other website. If your travel blog is doing well, this can create an influx of traffic for whatever business you have endorsed with a backlink.

Why are backlinks important?

Backlinks are important for SEO. Have you ever wondered why some websites rank higher on search engine platforms like Google, Bing, or Yahoo? There are many reasons for higher rankings, but one factor in determining a website's ranking is the number of relevant backlinks. The more relevant backlinks a website has, the higher the website will rank in the search results on search engines.

Let's look at the above example in a different way: you have a travel service, and someone with a travel blog has used your services. The travel blog is happy with the service you provided and has provided a link to your website in their blog. This link is a backlink for your travel service website, and it can make a difference to the traffic visiting your website. This potential increase in visits can make a difference in your business's profitability.

Keep in mind that the backlink from another website should be relevant in terms of content. For instance, a backlink from an auto repair website to a gardening blog will likely not affect SEO rankings, or the search engine could completely disregard this kind of non-relevant backlink.

Types of Backlinks

There are two main types of backlinks:

  1. "Dofollow" or "follow" links
  2. "Nofollow" links

When a website links to another website, it is by default a "dofollow" link. Its HTML code generally looks like so:

Compose.ly

However, webmasters can add a tag to this code telling search engine web crawlers to ignore a given link when determining SEO rankings. Including this tag, known as a "nofollow" tag, essentially communicates to crawlers that the linked website is not necessarily trustworthy or authoritative. These links appear in this way:

shady website

How do you build backlinks?

The easiest way to build backlinks is to pay someone to generate them for you. However, this doesn't fly by Google's guidelines, which explicitly warn against buying or selling links.

Google warns against participating in link schemes to generate backlinks.

Paying for links is viewed as manipulation of Google's ranking algorithm. How so? Think of links as currency in digital marketing. Some websites naturally receive more backlinks than others because they're inherently worth linking to—perhaps because of incredibly helpful or engaging content. In this way, paying for backlinks is manipulative, as paid links don't necessarily reflect a site's quality or relevance.

In other words, a low-quality site could pay for hundreds of links—but that wouldn't mean its quality is any better.

So how do you build backlinks naturally?

According to Backlinko, you can get high-quality backlinks from authoritative sites in the following ways:

  • Create a “linkable asset” that people will want to link to (blogs, informational graphics, videos, etc.)
  • Ask a blog if you can be included in a link roundup in your field
  • Suggest your website to sites that are linking to outdated websites (aka The Moving Man method)
  • Let websites know about broken links (404 results), putting your own website on their radar
  • Write a guest post and include a link to your website in your bio
  • Submit testimonials and include a link to your website in the testimonial or comment
  • Reclaim links from sites that cite your website without linking to it—ask the site to link to your website instead of just citing it

The Takeaway About Backlinks

Individuals and businesses that want to increase their internet web traffic and SEO rankings should understand and utilize backlinks on their websites. With some research and a little work, building a quality website that is well-regarded and recognized by other websites as authoritative can earn you the backlinks you need to affect your overall search rankings. A bump in your search rankings can mean an increase in visitors to your site and, ideally, more followers for your blog or more paying customers for your business.

Government watchdogs keep tabs on those who call themselves architects

Back Article Dec 1, 2009 By Bill Romanelli

Just because you can design, doesn’t make you an architect. That was certainly the message sent when the California Architects Board issued two fines of $2,500 each in September 2008 to Diana Suhanova, owner of All in One in Sacramento. The first fine was for submitting plans for a residence with a tile block stating “Architectural Drafting Service” despite the fact Suhanova was not a licensed architect. Likewise, on a community website where All in One was listed as a vendor, the firm was described as providing architectural services, among others, creating grounds for the second fine.

Suhanova hasn’t been the first in the Capital Region to be cited. In March 2008, CAB fined Bruce Gregory Oveson of Vacaville $500 for indicating on a resume that he held an architect’s license in California. He was hired by an El Dorado Hills firm on the understanding that he was a licensed architect. However, his license expired in 1997 and, according to CAB, “was not renewable.” Prior to that, in September 2006, CAB fined Jess Real of Real Design Studio in Manteca $500 for proposing to develop plans for a 12-unit townhouse in Lathrop. Real was not and did not claim to be an architect, but the law required a structure of this size be designed by a licensed architect. By even proposing to develop the plans, Real was “practicing without a license.”

All told, about two-thirds of the citations issued by CAB involve cases of individuals directly or indirectly calling themselves architects when they shouldn’t. In many cases it’s a simple mistake. In others it’s arguably more willful, but either way, the 20,000 licensed architects that CAB regulates have a watchdog on their side.

“It’s a matter of state law. There are restrictions on who can call themselves an architect,” says Don Comstock, executive director of the Central Valley Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. “It’s a title like a doctor or an attorney. You have to have a license before you can use the title.”

Without that license, claiming to be an architect in California could result in a penalty of up to $5,000 per count under the state’s Architects Practice Act. The law was enacted to standardize how architectural services should be provided. Differing ideas on how and where a load-bearing wall should be installed, for example, would not bode well for overall public safety.

Today all 50 states have statutes in place similar to California’s Architects Practice Act, which restricts the use of the title. In California, however, CAB is authorized to enforce the law by issuing citations and penalties for “practicing without a license or holding one’s self out as an architect.” That authority, according to Architect magazine, makes California one of the states with the most enforcement muscle.

It’s an authority the board takes seriously. Every single complaint brought to the board is investigated and resolved, whether it’s a warning or a cease-and-desist letter, according to Doug McCauley, CAB’s executive officer.

Others require a financial penalty and in some instances are egregious enough for a referral to the attorney general for criminal prosecution. In CAB’s 2009 fiscal year, the board investigated 282 complaints, of which more than 200 were resolved with citations or cease-and-desist orders.

The range of actions and penalties by CAB are based on how each violation is classified according to the law: class A, B, C, etc. That said, CAB does apply some discretion depending on the facts of a specific case. For example, investigators would determine whether there was an actual attempt at fraud vs. a mistake made and quickly corrected.

Despite how the numbers and the anecdotes may appear, the problem of unlicensed individuals is a relatively small one. Roughly half of the “practicing without a license” cases arise from misunderstandings of the law. For example, an architect licensed in 49 other states still needs to pass an exam and earn a license in California.

In order for most structures to obtain a building permit in California, the design plans must be submitted with a licensed architect’s stamp on them. That means the licensed architect is completely in charge of those drawings, has reviewed and approved them, and ensured the specs are all up to code.

“It all comes down to consumer safety.”

— Matthew Wheeler, executive director, California Building Officials

Now, that’s for most structures. Under California law, any single-family dwelling of wood-frame construction and less than two stories and a basement does not require an architect’s stamp to apply for a permit. In short, your mailman could design your next home if you wanted. The same exemption applies to multifamily dwellings of up to four units per lot, garages and “nonstructural or nonseismic” storefronts and other additions to a building.

That said, no local building official is going to provide a permit for an unsound design, so nothing is meant to suggest that a licensed architect is a must for structures that fit into the exemption areas. There are numerous builders and designers qualified to design these structures.

“Frankly, a lot of the violations we see are from individuals going across the exempt area into the regulated just to pump up their resumes and earn more money,” McCauley says. “Especially in a tough economy, people want to broaden the kind of work they do.”

Whether or not that was Jon Green’s motivation no one can say, and either way it was immaterial to CAB when it fined him $1,000 for two separate causes of action in mid-2006. By executing an agreement to prepare “architectural drawings” for a private, single-family three-story residence in El Dorado Hills, he was practicing architecture without a license. Had it only been a two-story house, he might have only been fined for calling his services “architectural.”

The good news for consumers is that relatively few of the complaints the board investigates are from customers who’ve had projects go sideways on them. That’s because outside of enforcement, the bulk of CAB’s work is preventative. CAB works with several of the 190 architecture-accredited schools in the state, helping students understand what the exemptions cover and, more importantly, what they don’t. It also works with trade groups.

“It all comes down to consumer safety,” says Matthew Wheeler, executive director of California Building Officials, a nonprofit trade group that promotes public health and safety in building construction. “As soon as that architect provides you with their license, you know their credentials. You know what they’ve studied, what exams they’ve taken and what they’re qualified to do. Any time we can partner with CAB to ensure people aren’t acting as architects without a license, and to do something about it when they are, it helps us protect public safety.”

Obtaining an architect’s license is on par with earning a CPA or a law degree. For starters, five years of education and/or qualified work experience are required just to take the national Architect Registration Examination. California takes it a step further and requires an additional three years of education and/or qualified work experience, as well as passing the California Supplemental Examination. Candidates for licensure must also complete a Comprehensive Intern Development Program administered by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. California does not, however, require an accredited degree in architecture for licensure.

The other benefit for consumers is the inherent system of checks and balances that go into the design and building processes.

“The nature of construction design is multilayered, and that ensures projects won’t advance to the point that some kind of disaster can happen,” McCauley says. “There are contractors and engineers working on projects, there are local cities and counties working to verify that qualified people are submitting plans, and then they’re taking the next step to inspect and approve the construction itself. There are numerous points along the way where we can discover whether someone’s doing something they’re not qualified to do.”

That brings up an important point; It should not be overlooked that the last one-third of the complaints CAB investigates involve licensed architects themselves. Indeed, there have been some examples of licensed architects committing everything from willful misconduct to fraud.

With some 20,000 licensed architects in the state, the bad actors represent a substantially small percentage, and while CAB officials would probably like to believe all the really bad ones have already been smoked out, consumer education on how to hire an architect remains an important pillar of its work.

“All the actions we’ve taken against licensed architects are a matter of public record, so before hiring anyone, consumers should log on and see whether the person they’re considering has been cited before,” McCauley says. “Check references, and have a written contract in place. You’d be surprised how many people don’t do this. From there, keep a log and document everything. Those two things, the contract and the log, will be invaluable if a problem comes up.”

Picking apart the pieces of modular construction

The construction site was nearly immaculate. There were no free-standing ladders, power cords were coiled neatly and only a stray nail, crushed cup and small pile of sawdust littered the floor. The 91,000-square-foot factory was full of skylights with chartreuse buttresses and turquoise shelving, creating a bright, showroom feel.

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is Not a Depiction of a Fair and Healthy Polyamorous Relationship

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, directed by Angela Robinson, came out in October 2017, and has been hailed as a groundbreaking, trailblazing film that positively portrays polyamory. “For Professor Marston’s Bill, Elizabeth and Olive, polyamory isn’t a one-off tryst; the three start a life and family together,” writes Jill Gutowitz of Vice, “Their relationship is balanced, equal and brimming with mutual respect. Each character is starkly different, they each experience lust and desire, and their relationship is by no means just Bill’s idea. Elizabeth and Olive share a romantic love of their own.”

Polyamorous critics gushed even more. Leigh Monson, a self-identified poly movie reviewer, said, “I cried tears of joy at this movie.” Minx of Polyamory Weekly said on her podcast, “This is a fucking awesome movie for poly people. It is the most beautiful portrayal of polyamory that I have ever seen.” Gaby Dunn, a bixsexual YouTuber and author (I Hate Everyone But You) who has advocated for polyamory much of her adult life, declared, “I have never seen polyamory centered or treated with respect in a movie before ever in my life. It was beautiful to see that yes, you can love more than one person, and have a family, and be happy.”

Professor Marston is a trailblazing movie in that it depicts polyamory in an empathetic and feminist way. Previous movies have depicted polyamory as cheating, sex-oriented, deviant, or a comedic distraction. No other movie has featured a committed, long term polyamorous relationship that is truly about love and the struggle to practice it at a time when it was deeply taboo. The fact that it’s based on a true story is even more remarkable. The movie is also masterfully done with nuanced and sympathetic characters. However, to say that it depicts a healthy polyamorous relationship based on mutual love and respect is a bit misleading. My partner and I both found it pretty disturbing at times, and the fact that it was so empathetic and love driven made what we deemed abusive behavior between the main characters even more upsetting.

I also want to preface this review by saying that this is not a review of the relationship between the actual creator of Wonder Woman and his partners. From what I understand, the director took much artistic license in portraying a relationship even the members of the Marston family understood very little of. The three historical figures were very private about their private lives. This is a review of the story that the director chose to tell.

The relationship between the trouple starts out on unequal footing. Bill Marston is psychology professor at Harvard who works with his wife to study human sexuality. They toy with the idea of having a third, and joke about what a cliche it would be for Bill to have an affair with one of his students. When they first see Olive, a student in one of their classes, they discuss her as a sexual object. “I would like to study her,” he says, as if she were a specimen under the microscope. “I’m your wife, not your jailer,” says Elizabeth, not exactly encouragingly. They view Olive as an innocent, sweet girl that they can recruit for sexual experimentation. In poly circles this is called unicorn hunting, a much reviled practice that typically exploits a young bisexual female in order to satisfy the sexual curiosity of a typically older couple. “The stereotype at least is that unicorn hunting couples are looking to treat a partner as an object in their relationship,” said Alex, an interviewee for The Business Insider, “They want someone — maybe anyone, reducible to their gender, sexuality, and availability — that fits into their lives and fits their relationship without thinking about the needs and human perspectives of the person they’re looking for.” This fits Bill and Elizabeth’s attitude to Olive pretty well. They want someone who will fit into their lives; they don’t consider how their relationship will impact her.

Olive becomes a research assistant to Bill and Elizabeth Marston, and the couple immediately begin to use their dominant position to coerce and seduce her. First, before Olive has even started her employment, Elizabeth confronts her and says, “Don’t fuck my husband.” The poor girl has a genuine interest in the couple’s research, and she is immediately accused of being a homewrecker. Not a good way to begin! Next, they take part in a bizarre scene where Olive is forced to spank a sorority sister while the Marstons watch. Afterwards they pressure her to describe her emotions during the incident. It’s obvious that Olive is very uncomfortable with this, and when Olive flees the room crying, they dismiss her as not being tough enough for science. Olive is so distraught that she considers quitting her job, but she goes back to them, apparently drawn by the couple’s magnetism, or her own masochistic enjoyment at being submissive. Still treating her like an experiment, they hook her up to a lie detector and basically force her to confess that she’s in love with both of them. When Olive flees again, Elizabeth goes after her and they kiss. At this point Elizabeth invites Bill to join them.

The three become romantically involved, but the couple privilege continues. When the Marstons are fired from Harvard, Elizabeth insists that they have to break up with Olive because their relationship is “nice in fantasy but not reality.” Bill basically agrees with her and they literally turn their back on Olive and walk away, except Olive cries out that she’s pregnant. We can imagine that had she not been pregnant, they would have left her in the dust while congratulating themselves on how they escaped a close call. But since they are such ethical non-monogamists (sarcasm), they take up house together and move into a new neighborhood.

To not raise any eyebrows, they make up a story about how Olive is a widow whom Bill and Elizabeth took in. Granted, this is almost a hundred years ago, but it is revealed at the end of the movie that the real nature of their relationship was never made public to their friends and family, not even to their own children, even after having lived together for decades. Today, this would be unacceptable to most committed polyamorous partners who want to be acknowledged as legitimate partners. However, Olive did not seem bothered by her closeted status. While they live together, Bill and Elizabeth do paid work and Olive cleans, cooks, and takes care of their four children. Even if this arrangement had been consensual, by putting Olive in a state of economic dependence, she basically had to do whatever they wanted or risk losing everything.

The most shocking abuse of couple privilege comes towards the end of the movie when the family is accidentally outed by neighbors and Elizabeth’s son is beaten up at school. “You have to go,” Elizabeth says baldly to Olive, “the safety of our children is at stake.” Bill does nothing to stop her. So Olive, after spending a decade with these two, raising their four children together, is kicked to the curb as soon as the couple’s respectability becomes endangered. They punished her for society’s bigotry, and in order to not put themselves at risk, treat her with the same contempt that society would heap on Olive.

Once they got rid of her, the two of them would still have the safety net of their marriage, but what about Olive, and her children (who are also Bill’s children)? What kind of problems are they going to have now that she’s become the other woman, with no home, no family, and no means to make a living? Is this how you treat a partner you’ve loved for more than a decade? The fact that they would even consider such an action cast doubt whether they ever regarded Olive as an equal partner.

The movie tries to recover from this egregious mistake in a tear jerking scene where Elizabeth and Bill beg on their knees for Olive to come back. Olive, at this point, has been living on her own for months, and she agrees to come back if they get her a new stove and give her a break from housework on the weekends. And then, my friends, they lived happily ever after.

My partner and I left the movie in shock. We agreed that Bill and Elizabeth’s actions towards the end of the movie exemplify the worst of polyamorous relationships: extreme couple privilege, disregard for their partner’s well-being, taking advantage of Olive’s weaker social and economic position without giving her respect and commitment. Like many partners in open relationships, Olive was ultimately dispensable, someone who could be sacrificed to protect the couple’s interests at any moment. There is no way that this polyamorous relationship would have worked if Olive had been a less submissive partner who stood up more for her rights. By portraying Olive as happily going along with everything, the movie creates the dangerous impression that everything Bill and Elizabeth did was ok and this is how a second partner in a polyamorous relationship should behave.

This movie was also disturbing to me because my partner and I had undergone a similar experience that year. We had been together for almost two years and were living together when his wife decided to revoke her consent for our relationship. I was subsequently kicked out of the house (and out of the country by Canadian border agents), and she threatened to divorce him if he didn’t leave me. My partner came to the realization that her actions were cruel and unethical, and he eventually apologized to me for not defending me against her attacks. I’m still not fully recovered from the trauma of it all. The experience has, if not put me off polyamory completely, made me deeply wary of the harm that couples can cause to others when they attempt polyamory without giving up couple privilege.

I recommend this movie for its artistry, its moving depiction of an organic relationship, and its groundbreaking depicting of polyamory. However, the praise that has been heaped on it by mainstream and poly audiences actually makes me feel less understood as a poly person. Granted, polyamorous people often struggle mightily and egregious mistakes are often made, but what this couple did to Olive at the end would be unconscionable to ethical polyamorous people today. Most polyamorous relationships also do not involve sexual attraction between metamours, or a metamour who does all the housework for you. Most polyamorous relationship involve much more difficult negotiations regarding sharing a partner with someone who you are not in love with. The fact that Elizabeth did have a relationship with Olive, and she still treated her with such disregard, is the opposite of a healthy, loving, polyamorous relationship. The lack of outrage over Bill and Elizabeth’s actions in the media is a silent indicator that even within the poly community we have a poor understanding of what a healthy polyamorous relationship should look like.

4 thoughts on “Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is Not a Depiction of a Fair and Healthy Polyamorous Relationship

  1. I agree with all the points you’ve made! I’d also be wary of taking that movie as an example of a healthy poly relationship for today.

    However, one has to contextualize the movie within the times it depicts: what they supposedly did (since we don’t know the details of the lives of the actual people) would be revolutionary and also certainly face huge resistance from a society that was absolutely intolerant of any ‘deviation’ from the norm, when even homosexuality was seen simply as a disease. The complete lack of reference to such relationships would make mistakes even more likely to occur. Although it would be better as an example of healthy poly, I think a depiction of that triad in those times, without (bad) stuff like couple privilege, would actually seem less realistic in the end – well, to me at least.

  2. I love this article. I noticed these things, as well, throughout the movie and found myself saying “Don’t do it” during the scene when they ask her to take them back. As a single heteroflexible woman that likes to go with the flow like Olive, I get messaged and hit on constantly by couples and have become very wary of them. It’s hard to date in poly groups because the majority of people are married men or couples.

  3. I absolutely agree with your take. The movie is hard for me because I love it. Much of the representation of polyamory in it makes me happy. And the incorporation of BDSM brings me further joy as a member of the kink community. Sadly, the way Olive is treated really is disturbing and heartbreaking. I’m hoping to see something better soon.

Texas unveils launch of first state-led border wall construction project

President Joe Biden made it clear upon taking office that he would halt or even reverse all of the progress and ongoing efforts to construct a barrier wall along the southern border between the U.S. and Mexico.

But the border remains in dire need of being secured, so Texas stepped up earlier in the year to fill the void left by Biden, and has now unveiled the first portion of a border wall built with state funds, on state-owned land, the Washington Examiner reported.

This section of the wall near the small border town of Rio Grande City, once completed, will stand approximately 18 feet tall, and stretch for roughly two miles.

“Sending a message”

In an interview with the Examiner, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush said, “We’re actually breaking ground and sending a message more importantly to the federal government that if you’re not going to do your job, Texas will.”

“We are a can-do people — a resilient people,” he continued. “We know when we’re being stiffed, and in this case, it’s this blatant disregard for enforcing federal immigration law.”

Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and nephew of former President George W. Bush, explained how his office owned the land that was the site of the initial construction project and how his office had also sued the Biden administration over its cancellation of border wall construction projects that used funding properly appropriated by Congress.

Doing Biden’s job

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) held a press conference Saturday in front of the new section of border wall that had been erected about six months after he had initially announced his intention to complete the border wall in June — an ambitious project initially seeded with $250 million in state funds that have since been bolstered with additional funds appropriated by the state legislature.

“The State of Texas has taken comprehensive action to secure our southern border and address the border crisis while President Biden has sat idly by,” Abbott said in a statement. “In June, I promised Texans that we would step up in the federal government’s absence and build our own border wall.”

“We have wasted no time in the six months since that promise was made, and I am proud to announce that construction of the Texas border wall is now underway,” the governor added. “Today not only represents the first phase of the Texas border wall, but it also serves as a major milestone in our efforts to combat illegal immigration, stop the smuggling of drugs and people, and keep our communities safe.”

“Unprecedented action”

During Saturday’s press conference, according to the Texas Tribune, Abbott stated of the massive undertaking, “This unprecedented action is needed for one single reason, and that’s because the Biden administration has failed to do its job.”

Commissioner Bush, who is running to be the state’s next attorney general, was also present at the unveiling of the first stretch of Texas-built border wall, which reportedly was erected in only five days once begun. “It’s on state acreage that we stand today where the people of Texas finally said, enough is enough,” he explained. “Enough of open borders, enough of disorderly chaos … If the Washington, D.C. establishment doesn’t do their job, Texas will.”

All told, Texas intends to build a wall on as much of the approximately 1,000 miles of unsecured border between Texas and Mexico as possible, an effort that will undoubtedly run into problems at some point in light of the fact that much of that land is privately owned, to say nothing of any attempts by activists or the Biden administration to sabotage or stall the project in the courts.

Damning and Incriminating

Six years ago today I released the first undercover video showing Planned Parenthood's national Senior Director of Medical Services callously negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted baby body parts.

Planned Parenthood and their powerful political allies
retaliated against me and my team VICIOUSLY, because what we caught them doing was so damning and incriminating.

When the full truth of Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry's involvement in the human trafficking of aborted infants is revealed, it will change the world. WATCH our new video today and SHARE it to support our mission:

You can SIGN OUR PETITION here to demand that the U.S. Department of Justice enforce the laws against human trafficking of aborted babies, and call for immediate disbarment of the Planned Parenthood network from their remaining taxpayer funding streams.

This spring, CMP released a new video exposing Planned Parenthood's deeply enmeshed partnership with the University of Pittsburgh, in which Planned Parenthood abortion doctors supply aborted fetuses for taxpayer-funded experiments at Pitt. I testified before the Pennsylvania House Health Committee about the disturbing experiments being carried out on aborted babies at Pitt, including liver harvesting from infants aborted alive, exporting fetal kidneys, and a study scalping aborted babies to graft onto lab rats, funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci at the NIAID.

If you missed the live stream of my testimony before the Pennsylvania legislature, you can watch it here.

You can also read my op-ed in Newsweek about my testimony and the government-sponsored aborted fetus experiments supported by Fauci and others. Here's what we know just from the publicly available sources:

1⃣ Planned Parenthood abortionists supply fetuses to Pitt
2⃣ Pitt uses its access to fetal tissue and organs to get major NIH grant money
3⃣ Planned Parenthood enjoys access to people and resources at Pitt

After CMP's undercover videos were released in 2015, two Congressionalinvestigations confirmed the "systemic violations" at Planned Parenthood, a southern California prosecutor shut down two of Planned Parenthood's business partners in a $7.8 million settlement with an admission of guilt, and the U.S. Department of Justice has an ongoing active investigation of Planned Parenthood's baby parts trafficking. In May, Planned Parenthood SURRENDERED in federal court in Texas to their termination from state Medicaid based on their wrongdoing found in my undercover video reporting.

Instead of coming clean and reforming, Planned Parenthood and their allies have tried to bury the evidence with retaliatory lawsuits to attack the First Amendment and silence anyone who challenges them.

CMP's team of legal experts are working hard to make sure our First Amendment rights and those of all citizen journalists are vindicated, and that those who traffick aborted baby body parts are held equally accountable under the law.

The Center for Medical Progress is a 501(c)3 non-profit and we rely on your generous support to continue producing and releasing video and other evidence from our 30-month-long investigative journalism study on Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby parts. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift of any amount here: https://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/donate/
