Top 10 Movies Based on Video Games
by Jordan Turner March 14, 2018
written by Jordan Turner March 14, 2018
Since the revamp of the Lara Croft franchise is coming out this Friday, now is a great time to look back at the best of movies based on video games. In the last three decades, there has been a consistent influx of video game adaptations into film, ranging from kickboxing stories to the ever-burgeoning zombie genre. However acclaimed those video games may be in their own right, it is typically understood that most of the adaptations are, well, merely 'tolerable'. Obviously, a 'best of' list would be a bit back-handed, as these are films that are by no means splitting the atom. Whatever your opinions may be on the sub-genre, one cannot help to succumb to a guilty pleasure every once in a while, especially if their console counterparts are those that one has personally played in their youth. Or adulthood. Or both! Let's get to it!
#10: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)
Set in the backdrop of the deserts of Persia, a renegade prince and an enigmatic heiress battle against malevolent entities to protect the dagger that can unleash a power that can turn back time, allowing its owner to bend the world at their will. The film itself is overly dramatic and has its fair share dull moments. Nevertheless, Jake Gyllenhaal gives a solid performance as a vulnerable prince on a conquest for retribution and self-discovery, paired with some decent action sequences and supporting cast.
#9: Need for Speed (2014)
Interesting that this movie should come out a year after Jesse Pinkman's final scene in Breaking Bad, as he's drag-racing off the neo-Nazi compound, battered and beaten, laughing manically through the nighttime. Ha! He sharpened up his looks and took that car to the auto shop for this adaptation of the popular racing franchise. Teeming with exhaust fumes and high-pitched screeching, this film has dreams of being as big as the Fast franchise, but comes up short. Still, an indelible take at street-racing with some far-reaching car chases and a kinetic action that never lets up.

#8: Hitman (2007)
More of a dystopian take on the hitman for hire, this video game vehicle is based on multiple storylines within the franchise, following agent 47 as he clambers and wrestles with foes and henchmen, all who inevitably fall prey to his crosshairs. Timothy Olyphant stars as the titular character who is raised from childhood to be a professional killer for a paramilitary group simply known as the Organization, brandishing an infamous bar-code on the back of his neck as his insignia. Bombastic, boisterous and bald, this film is packed with the usual James Bond flare…without James Bond.
#7: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
One of the most commercially viable video game adaptations of all time, Lara Croft broke through barriers in appealing to a mainstream audience, attributed in due part to showcasing sex symbol Angelina Jolie's chops as an action star. Manor-born and extremely intelligent, the film follows the British archeologist on her odyssey to discover two pieces of a mysterious apparatus that can be utilized to control Earth's planetary alignment, and therefore, control the world. Rife with feminist underpinnings and a rambunctious supporting cast (oh hi dad), it's a blockbuster that says what it means and means what it says, even if some of what its saying isn't all that interesting. There is no wonder that this film's being revamped.
#6: Street Fighter (1994)
With a script that was written overnight and a jacked-up cast, this movie is brimming with enough wacky costumes and cheesy one-liners to fill up a John Waters film. Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme at the height of his action stardom, his character Colonel William F. Guile is put to the test, along with his squadron of mixed martial arts heroes in a battle at Shadaloo City against the tyrant and drug lord General M. Bison. Raul Julia's portrayal of Bison, which was his valedictory performance before his passing, was made at the bequest of his two sons in a surprisingly restrained and dutiable performance, regardless of the rest of the film's meretricious nature. And as tawdry and painfully American this movie is, one can't help but throw it in for a good laugh. And Vega is the best, regardless of Ryu elitists (sorry, not sorry).

#5: Silent Hill (2006)
I will admit that I hadn't ever played any of the Silent Hill video games before watching this film. But after first viewing, I was hooked. And though it caused countless nights in front of a screen, simultaneously haunted and mesmerized by the horrific imagery of the game, the film planted those seeds. Rose, the film's protagonist, goes on a journey through the murky dimension that is the town of Silent Hill, initially going there in obscure hopes of curing her daughter's sleepwalking. There, she gets into a car accident, losing her daughter, and is then on a mission to find her, all the while battling a group of zealots and the nightmares within.
However skeletal the plot and dialogue for the film may be, its strength truly lies in its atmosphere and production design, creating faceless monsters and featureless figures that wander through dreamscapes, in hopes that they may find themselves in yours.

#4: Doom (2005)
Okay, so this is a personal guilty pleasure, as this film came out right after Doom 3 was released for Xbox, which was such a great game for the time. And even though there are moments where the dialogue and the effects couldn't be any more schlocky, it's still a film that fits a formula that traditionally works. The year is 2046, and a research facility on Mars has been attacked by a nameless enemy. A group of marines (a la Predator), led by "Sarge" (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) travel there with larger than life weapons to save the day, only to find that the scientists have covertly been creating a genetically superior mutant race that gives the patients, how should one say, interesting makeover?
The plot is paper-thin as well as the characters, but come on! It's The Rock! Wielding a BFG! Can this man do wrong! I think not! (We will disregard The Tooth Fairy as menial lapse in an otherwise state-of-the-art judgment).

#3: Super Mario Bros. (1993)
Despite the rampant amount of antipathy out there for this film, this movie has little to quibble about, considering the time. Isn't it just another film that attempts to capitalize on its video game compatriot by adding a corporate element, blending the real world and fantasy? The film has a goofy spirit and it's a blast.
It stars Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as the eponymous heroes Mario and Luigi, respectively. They are underworked plumbers who happen upon another dimension with the help of archeologist Daisy, who opens the world to the main antagonist King Koopa, played with obsessive compulsive villainy by Dennis Hopper. And yes, the plot is thin and so are the characters and the set design is so blandly 90s and…I feel that, while I'm getting close to the number one on this list, I have to excuse the discrepancies of these films even more. Curse you, tasteless childhood! Anyways, it's a bit of nostalgia for myself and maybe yours as well.
#2: Resident Evil (2002)
One of my favorite guilty pleasures, and the role that catapulted Milla Jovovich to action superstardom, Resident Evil is actually a decent film. Alice (Jovovich) wakes up with nothing more than a red dress, black boots and an unexplained case of amnesia. What follows is the descent into the Stygian Hive, where an artificial intelligence, aptly named the Red Queen, has murdered all its employees in order to safeguard its clandestine eugenics operations.
Part zombie thriller, part flimsy allegorical attempt at Alice in Wonderland, its heart-pumping race from start to finish, building anticipation with each bloodthirsty snarl. And although it suffers from a fledgling CGI and petulant character development, the movie does a great job replicating the atmosphere in the video games. The music, production design and atmosphere are the strengths. And, yes, the franchise is turgid and a cash cow for the last fifteen years. But, then again, there has to be a reason why it still beckons droves of avid fans to the theaters? This film helped ushered them in.

#1: Mortal Kombat (1995)
I distinctly remember watching this on New Year's Eve with my family back in 1998. And, no, it didn't captivate me and make me watch it over and over again. But I'm sure, like many action films I watched back in the day, I re-enacted several martial arts scenes in my room, in front of the mirror. Because that's what kids do when they watch a movie that is simply about fighting good and evil.
The quintessential video game movie, this film paved the way for the rest. Like the video game, its heavy on the camp and light on the plot. Guided by mysterious electric god Raiden, a monk, an actor and a soldier are summoned to defend the planet from the nefarious sorcerer Shang Tsung in the titular tournament with players from both Earth and the fantastical Outworld. What makes Mortal Kombat work is that it is just as attention deficit as its video game; one doesn't really pay attention to the story because the original games don't really care for it either. One is there to see the fights, each one spurts for five or so minutes, then on to the next contender.
The set design and costumes are diligently administered to evoke the many dungeons that permeate the game. And urgency is balanced by a rave-inspired soundtrack, keeping the beats per minute up to snuff with the punches per minute. Some bits are cheesy, yes. But compared to the other movies based on video games, this one takes the cake. Flawless victory.

Unfortunately, films based on video games are not very good. Thanks for sharing this though!
crunchatizemecaptain May 27, 2018 - 7:09 pm
For as much hate as the Mortal Kombat movie tends to get, I really liked it. It definitely deserves to be at numero uno on this list.
The next question, though, is when is "Cap'n Crunch's Crunchling Adventure" going to get a movie adaptation? That was, by far, the best PC game of 1999.
Brian Noonkester May 8, 2018 - 7:23 am
I agree with most but super mario bros wasn't all that good and resident evil made me mad because it didn't have anything to do with the original game except for the mansion briefly and zombies. Street fighter def wasn't on my list. Check out my site at cinemasrhapaody.com for my take on video games to movies. Don't hesitate to leave a comment as well.
Wow. This list is interesting. Not bad but not sure I would put street fighter and mortal kombat so high. Resident evil just had me mad because it had nothing to do with the original game except the mansion briefly and zombies. I'll admit silent hill is one of the better ones. Can we all admit that anything directed by Uwe Boll sucks though? Visit my site at cinemasrhapsody.com for my take on video games to movies. Maybe you'll enjoy it and dont hesitate to leave a comment.

But what about Warcraft?! Instant classic 😆
Truth be told, I'm a long time fan of the Warcraft universe and so loved the movie for what it tried to do… what it tried to be. I do recognize though that, because it had so much to pack into such a small window, it was not the best video game to movie crossover and lost itself in it's ambition. Warcraft, the movie, really holds a place in my heart for the attempt at bringing one of my favorite worlds to the big screen.
Given the amount of attention, funding and freedom that producers like Netflix, Amazon and HBO have nowadays, I have high hopes that more quality video game adaptations will show themselves – either as TV series or movies.
Thanks for the great read. Here's a follow!
Shannon March 20, 2018 - 5:35 pm
The first Mortal Kombat movie was so awesome when it came out! Everyone loved it (and hated Street Fighter – how is THAT on this list, but my favorite video game movie is not? Oh well, I'll just be happy because MK, Silent Hill and Resident Evil are present.)
bigdave1583 March 15, 2018 - 1:40 am
They should did the Tomb Raider movie when the prequel game first came out this is going to be like watching the video game I just played but on the big screen. Don't get me wrong I'm actually going to see it but I don't think it's going to be good. What do you think?
Jordan Turner March 15, 2018 - 2:01 pm
I think it will be a stronger film than its predecessors, mainly because of its cast and more technical efficiency than what was accessible in the early 2000s. However, in the grander scheme, it will be lukewarm due to a flimsy plot and dialogue. But that's just my prediction!
bigdave1583 March 15, 2018 - 3:03 pm
Hey Jordan I think you're right it's definitely going to be better then the last two films in the early 2000s I mean visually it looks stunning but like you said acting and dialogue it's going to be its downfall. But it has my money so I will be seeing it if you see it before me definitely let me know what you think.
Knurly March 14, 2018 - 4:42 pm
Are you going to see the new Tomb Raider film?
I will try to get around to viewing it this week or the next. Alicia Vikander is a great choice.

Inveraray Castle
Inveraray Castle is one of the most elegant castles in Scotland and is one of the major tourist attractions of Argyll.
Residence of the Dukes of Argyll since 1789, and still a family residence for the 13th Duke. For this reason, some areas of the castle are not accessible as they are retained as private property for the family.
The self-guided tour takes you through 13 rooms on 3 different levels so you get to see the luxurious rooms that would have been visited by guests of the Duke as well as the Kitchen and basement area where servants would have worked. Each room has an information board (in English only) that explains some of the history and features of interest.
The rooms that stand out the most are:
the Armoury Hall with its bewildering array of weapons. Many of these were used by the Duke's regiment, the "Argyll Militia" when they fought against the Jacobites at Culloden
the grand State Dining Room, where the table is laid out with exotic silverware and ornaments as if in readiness for the Duke's guests to arrive,
the haunted MacArthur Room is said to be the room where spooky experiences are most often encountered,
and the Old kitchen which is presented as it would have been in the Victorian period complete with an impressive piece of wooden furniture with large drawers for storing an eclectic range of ingredients.
The Armoury Hall is arguably the most memorable feature of the castle and whilst in this room, you should look for the sword of Rob Roy. The ruined remains of Rob Roy's house are about 5 miles away in Glen Shira.
Inveraray Castle is said to be haunted by six ghosts in total. The most famous one is the ghost of a young musician and his haunting harp music is heard more often than he is seen. When the ghost is seen he is said to be wearing the tartan of Clan Campbell and his appearances are never frightening experiences. Legend has it that a young musician was murdered by the soldiers of the Marquess of Montrose when they attacked the old Inverary castle in 1644. The ghost moved to haunt the new castle because he was murdered on the four-poster bed that now stands in the MacArthur Room. There seems to be a correlation between the visitations of this ghost and the deaths of the Dukes of Argyll.
A more recent claim to fame for Inverary Castle is its appearance as a filming location for the TV series "Downton Abbey". We have to admit that we've never watched this TV show so can't tell you where it appears in the filming, but there are some pictures around the castle that show scenes from the film.
Inveraray Castle is more of a stately home than a castle but is interesting as it gives you a tangible sense of the vast difference between the living conditions of the aristocracy and the ordinary people that lived in places like Auchindrain township, which is an open-air museum just a few miles south of the Castle.
Allow at least 45 minutes for a tour of the castle. Members of Clan Campbell will want to allow more time as there is a small room in the castle with an exhibit of particular interest to anyone with a connection to this clan.

Wood chip dryer may have three common problems if you are careless in operating it. One is material blocking. Since distance between conical cylinder and refractory bricks is too small only about 100mm, material blocking is easy to occur if materials are too much and their water content is too high.
If heat loss is serious and cylinder is easy to be blocked, the hot air may flow inefficiently. If the heat exchange is poor, hot air will leak out. Since the funnel cone is installed in the combustion chamber, hot air directly burn the funnel cone. The materials may splash down into the combustion chamber through the funnel sides and block the combustion chamber.
As a result, the working performance of wood shavings dryer is very poor. As a supplier of wood shavings dryer, Fote Machinery adopts the most advanced drying technology to improve the existed structure and lower the failure rate. According to the feedback of our customers, it is rare to see the failures of blocking, poor heat exchange and serious heat leakage.
Once these failures occur, do not worry. We design the wood pellet mill in the fast-open structure. You can repair these failures without paying money. Many of my friends told me why your company does not directly put the price on website. As to this question, i think all businessmen can know the answers. To hide the price, one is for maintaining the benign competition and the other is for selecting honest customers to work with. So, welcome you to leave your production requirements on website!

Decide on perhaps a maker that is trusted or a retailer and offer warranty time. Then got alone to choose the quality at this stage you need to know that choosing cupboards with high-quality timber substance can be a lifetime expense.
Therefore choose the wood resources that are best that give shape and topquality despite the price is somewhat more expensive. Choose hues and coatings that you want on your kitchen cupboards, if you guide Gardening Humor on makers, make sure to fit your individual feel. You'll be able to choose the colour of white, black, or brown in finishing glossy, dull or flat finish.

You are able to pick an overlay panel (the address panel), level panel (level panel), or elevated panel type (increased panel). Select furthermore the method that you wish to deploy your closet door, you've several choices, such as for example overlay typical (standard cover), completely overlay (complete cover) or inset (inset) which will be not widely used.


On a return trip from Perth we allowed ourselves time to check out a few natural areas. Areas that would otherwise be too far from Home to justify the trip just to look them over. If a place shows promise, we'll return when we have more time. If it doesn't … at least we didn't drive all the way to (for example) the Portland "Conservation Area" from Home to find nothing more than a boat launch. However one of the "wins" this time was the Menzel Centennial Provincial Park. There's all kinds of data on the I'net about it since Menzel is a "nature reserve" class park (just like Peter's Woods).
Menzel Centennial (like all nature reserve class parks) exists because it's intended to protect something environmentally significant. This one is to protect/preserve the bog, fen, and alvar habitats, as well as the Salmon River watershed headwaters, and an assortment of reptiles, amphibians, rare butterflies, animals, and plants. The return trail (the only trail) is 1.7 kms long (one way), with 427 meters of boardwalk total (there's two of them). The trail ends at Mud lake, which isn't muddy at all.
Menzel is very easy to get to (I'm not even gonna bother with a map). Just take Deseronto Rd North from the 401 (between Shannonville and Napanee) until you have to turn right. The road becomes Roblin Rd at the turn, and the entrance is about 700 meters from the turn, on your left. You'll have to park on the side of Roblin Rd. as there's no parking lot.
The trail starts by navigating the baffle entrance (to deter motorized vehicles) and walking up a slight incline to the trailhead. There you'll find a map, a memorial, and general information about the reserve. The trail continues across a limestone alvar into an open meadow, and into as much a forest as can be expected in this terrain. Then comes the first boardwalk (the approach to which was a bit damp).
From that boardwalk we spotted the biggest carnivorous pitcher plants we've ever seen (up to ten inches tall). We saw/heard many snakes on the trail. There are alot of (likely) hibernaculums between the road and up to, and including, the alvar. I spotted a coiled Northern water snake on a hummock, a few in the water, and many more which were just too fast to positively ID. Not wishing to be critical, but I must report that the boardwalks could use some attention. There are a coupla missing boards and a few broken ones. I deliberately walked on the edges (directly above the support beams) as it gave me a more comfortable feeling. There were a few fallen trees which made passage a bit challenging as well.
From this boardwalk to the next is a low, damp forest where we saw cypripediums, and a tiny turtle about the size of a tooney. It dove into a small pool at the base of the boardwalk. The wife tried waiting for it to surface, but the clouds of mosquitoes got on my nerves. Did I mention not to even think about walking this one in warm weather without DEET ? It's no worse than any other trail across bogs and fens though.
The second boardwalk was a refreshing path over an open wetland (the first boardwalk was heavily wooded). The welcome breeze cooled us and made the mosquitoes go away. Once over the boardwalk, we plunged back into deep woods until a clearing ahead revealed itself to be the lake. A lovely clearing with a picnic table and a nice view. The lake was unexpectedly large and the shallow water near the shore was teeming with colourful little fish.
Menzel is an easy and interesting walk through regenerating forests, alvar, and various different types of wetlands. There are significant species of, plants, insects, and animals present here. It's the kind of place where, even experienced walkers can feel no shame in saying "I have no idea what that is. Take a picture and we'll look it up when we get Home". We were amazed at the number of snakes and butterflies in there, and even on the roads to and from. The trails and boardwalks are wide enough for two to walk at the shoulder. The boardwalks will need some serious attention soon though.
There are a coupla fallen trees, one over the boardwalk (which can be lifted to get under), and one across the trail to the lake (yer crawling under that one fer sure). It's buggy of course due to all the still water. However, there are more to bugs than mosquitoes, and we enjoyed the company of many different types of dragonflies and butterflies on our walk. In the right season, a lovely picnic could be had on the table at the lake. Other than that one, and another at the trailhead, there are no facilities of any kind anywhere (including a parking lot), and there is no charge to walk it.
Great review…I would like to go there.
A bit out of my area..Millbrook.
Thanks again for taking the time to let everyone know.
And I'll thank you again for your thoughtful comments Kevin. Hopefully our next reviewed trail (Durham East Cross Forest) is near enough for you to enjoy.


You don't always think about cleaning your upholstery like you do your carpets. After all, most upholstered furniture doesn't get foot traffic, so the grit and grime from outside doesn't get tracked in, right?
Even though it is usually harder to see, your upholstered furniture collects dirt, oils, dead skin cells, and other contaminants that can only be removed through a professional cleaning process. The Fowler Carpet and Upholstery signature process uses 80% less water than traditional steam cleaning methods, which rids your upholstered furniture and rugs of contaminants while allowing a quick drying process, so your upholstery can go back to general use within hours, not days. This quick drying process also inhibits the growth of mold and mildew that can occur on heavily soiled areas with long dry times, dubbing the Fowler Carpet and Upholstery process The Healthy Clean.
Fowler Carpet and Upholstery's safe, non-toxic solutions actually help your fabrics stay as clean as they were new, lifting stains and dirt to the surface to be lifted away by our powerful yet gentle cleaning machines.
We can service all types of upholstery, even delicate fibers, so you know you are hiring the right company.
We use only non-toxic solutions, green-certified.
Most fabrics dry in about 3 hours, minimizing growth opportunity for mold and mildew (especially in the hot, wet climate of the Houston area).
Our no-residue process leaves your upholstery truly clean, so dirt is not attracted quickly to soap residue left by other processes, such as steam cleaning.
Our attention to detail means your furniture will receive the special care it needs.


JERUSALEM — Mitt Romney on Monday morning ignited a firestorm of criticism from Palestinian leaders after he told a group of top-level Jewish donors here that the Israeli culture had helped them become more economically successful than the Palestinians.
''As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000 dollars, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality,'' Romney said.
Romney also referred to other neighboring countries that experience economic disparities — Chile and Ecuador, he said, or Mexico and the United States — but Palestinian leaders quickly called the comments racist and out of touch. They also said they could empower extremists, and damage the peace process.
Romney's campaign said his comments were being taken out of context, and pointed out that he was referencing the gap between other neighboring countries. The campaign also distributed a full transcript of the remarks, something the campaign rarely does for its fundraisers.
"And as I come here and I look out over this city this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things,'' said Romney at the fundraiser.
Romney's trip here focused closely on praising Israel, and the American relationship with it. He rarely mentioned Palestinians in his remarks, and met with only one Palestinian leader while he was here. He also emphatically referred to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, something that Palestinians contest.
Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, also criticized Romney, saying, "He's said so many outrageous things that it's very hard to decide which one to respond to.'' She said it was unfair to compare the economies of the Israelis and the Palestinians.
She then compared the statement about the Palestinians to the one that angered London over their preparations for the Olympic Games. "You can't just go around alienating people left, right, and center,'' she said.
But at home, at least, Romney got the backing of the Anti-Defamation League.
Romney's comments came as he capped off a trip to Israel by holding a lucrative fundraiser at the King David Hotel, raising more than $1 million from about 45 donors.
Romney — who was joined by his wife, Ann, and son Josh — projected a deep connection to Israel that several donors later said came across in the room.
Among those at the fundraiser was Sheldon Adelson, who has emerged as the biggest Republican donor and has already contributed $10 million the Restore Our Future, the Super PAC supporting Romney. He sat right next to Romney at the front of the room, with tables shaped in a horse-shoe creating an intimate atmosphere.
"This was a love-fest,'' said Phil Rosen, a New York lawyer who also has a home in Jerusalem and helped organize the fundraiser.
"A success,'' Spencer Zwick, Romney's finance chairman said as he left, adding that more than $1 million was raised from about 45 people. Donors had to pay between $25,000 and $50,000 to attend.
Romney's campaign initially was going to close the fundraiser to the press, breaking an agreement with how such events would be covered. Within 24 hours, they reversed that decision and allowed a small pool of reporters to cover Romney's remarks. Romney also took several questions from the donors after reporters left.
After Romney began making his way to the airport – heading to Poland, for the final part of his three-leg tour — Adelson held court for more than an hour. With a cane at his side, he chatted with donors as they approached him.
Adelson once had his eye on the Bay State, hoping to open a casino along the Interstate 495 corridor but later decided to pass because he felt three casino licenses for the state was too many.
Among those who attended the fundraiser were New York Jets owner Woody Johnson; Detroit developer John Rakolta; and Lisa Spies, who is Romney's finance chair. Spies' husband, Charlie, is a founder of the pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future.
The fundraiser also included several donors who live in Israel and emerged impressed.
Romney's trip abroad has been focused on trying to show voters at home that he has the diplomatic skills to be president, with stops in London, Jerusalem and, starting Monday, Poland.
But the trip has also included a significant effort to raise campaign cash – which can only come from American citizens — and to provide additional perks to some of his top donors, some of whom sported pins that had "Romney'' written in Hebrew.
While in Jerusalem, some of his donors accompanied him on his trip to the Western Wall, one of the holiest sites in Judaism. They filled several of the front rows for a foreign policy speech he gave on Sunday night, with the sun setting over the Old City in the background.

World Wildlife Day is commemorated annually on 3 March. The column below was posted on the UP website by prof Leith Meyer, director of the Centre for Veterinary Wildlife Studies and associate professor in veterinary pharmacology. His research focuses on improving the welfare of wildlife during veterinary management procedures and understanding the impact of climate change on wild mammals. He also has a broad interest in conservation practices in Africa. I have his permission to publish it, unchanged in this column.
For many of us, wildlife has a great social value, and conservation is rightly seen as a priority for our sustainable existence on this planet. However, the manner in which wildlife conservation is best achieved has become an area of heated debate.
Historically, conservation was primarily achieved through the preservation of wildlife in remote areas. Many of these areas are in resource-constrained countries, so that external or foreign donor funding was required to achieve conservation goals.
This inadvertently led to influencers being distant and having limited knowledge about the economics and social challenges of local communities in these areas. Today this distant, and often poorly informed, influence has been amplified by many on social media. Social media, which is often emotive at the expense of reason, can drive public opinion and usually fails to understand the bigger picture or context.
Unfortunately, this influence, although generally done with good intentions, can have a negative impact and could promote practices that may not be suitable on the ground. An example of one of these is the growing campaign against trophy hunting, which has gained huge traction on social media platforms.
Although this very emotive campaign has rightly exposed some unethical and destructive practices in the hunting industry, in other instances it has created a negative effect on programmes that utilise ethical hunting as a sustainable conservation tool.
Hunting, although controversial, when done in an ethical manner, has been shown to have positive conservation and community benefits in some areas. In fact, countries like Botswana, which has banned trophy hunting and other consumptive activities (controlled harvesting of wildlife for meat), are now reconsidering these policies in order to improve conservation efforts and community welfare.
In a fast-changing world, with so many demands on natural resources, for conservation to be really effective and successful, we need to start changing the way we think and do things. With an ever-expanding human population, we need to realise that the sustainable utilisation of wildlife, both consumptive and non-consumptive, can play a key role in economies and help with poverty alleviation, especially in many rural communities living adjacent to or in conservation areas.
If these communities do not sustainably benefit from these natural resources, these conservation areas will become increasingly threatened. So, rather than supporting campaigns and organisations that oppose consumptive wildlife utilisation, we should support and fight for the ethical and sustainable utilisation of wildlife, which should be guided by rigorous research, not emotive assumptions.
Furthermore, we need to ensure that local communities benefit and become greater custodians of natural resources so that they can become the protectors rather than the enablers of unsustainable practices such as poaching and indiscriminate bush-meat trade.
Furthermore, as we move into a time of uncertainty, fuelled by climate and political changes, we will need to be more proactive in our conservation efforts. It is critical that we now research how animals and ecosystems best adapt to change and understand how we can facilitate this adaptation, and mitigate harmful practices. Crucially, we also need to ensure that proper scientific approaches are employed to ethically manage wildlife and ecosystems in a sustainable and responsible way.
We also need to set aside our emotive needs for just conserving large, charismatic mammal species and start focusing more on other plant and animal species, ensuring that biodiversity and ecosystems in their entirety are conserved as best as possible. By doing this, we may find that the solutions to mitigating climate change and feeding our burgeoning population lie within nature rather than artificial means.
Other important mind-shifts that we need to make are that conservation shouldn't be left just to those working in this field and that it is not something that only happens in distant places.
There are many things that we can do in our daily lives that can have a great impact on conservation. Simply reducing unnecessary consumption, recycling waste, using renewable resources like solar power, reducing harmful pesticides that indiscriminately kill pollinating insects in our gardens, and ensuring our pets (especially cats) don't destroy resident wildlife are a few examples of things that can go a long way in helping preserve biodiversity.
So, as we celebrate World Wildlife Day and appreciate the value and beauty of our world's wildlife, we should reflect on our daily actions and take care that our emotive actions don't drive us to irrationally support campaigns that may inadvertently cause damage.
Rather, we should try and better understand the intricacies involved in achieving conservation in complex systems and support programmes that use balanced approaches. We should also readjust our lifestyles to reduce our impact on the planet and support the ethical, scientific and sustainable utilisation of wildlife that promotes biodiversity, through appropriate support of responsible regional conservation organisations and by also promoting proper custodianship of local communities and leaders.

Discover 18 important defensive lineman drills the pros use with this 8 panel HowToPlay.com brochure and then , more importantly, find out the skills they relate to in Effective Defensive Line Mechanics.
Here's a couple of sections exactly as they appear in "EFFECTIVE DEFENSIVE LINE DRILLS"!!!
Goal: Teach the DL to react quickly to the movement of the Offensive Lineman (OL)… Description: Set up 3 cones in a triangle about 10 yards apart. Two linemen face each other in the middle between two cones with a designated ball carrier at the third cone. The player facing the ball carrier is the defender, the other player the OL. The coach stands behind the DL signaling the direction and the snap count. On the command, the ball carrier runs in a straight line to the designated cone, while the OL blocks accordingly. The DL reacts to the movement of the OL, controls and escapes the OL making the tackle before the ball carrier reaches the cone. The defender's shoulders and hips stay square to the Line of Scrimmage (LOS), the feet stay moving and the hands/arms control and escape the OL. After the DL gets comfortable with the Drill, bring in 'real' OL and Running backs to increase intensity and speed… Equipment: 3 cones, 1 ball when run with offensive personnel."
Goal: Teach Defensive Line (DL) pursuit angles... Description: A ball carrier makes lateral movement from the backfield to the sidelines, then cuts up the field. The DL moves laterally with the ball carrier until the ball carrier make the cut up field. At the cut, the DL comes in to make the tackle. In wide pursuit situations, the DL closest to the ball makes the tackle while the other DL makes their pursuit angle towards the numbers on the field. For each offensive player the DL pass, the DL pursuit angle becomes 5 yards deeper... Equipment: Ball"


Remember my faux sofa table? I made it a few months after I moved in (more about it here).
He was all like, "Hey, thanks for putting this special shelf here just for me!" Not cool, Bob. Since the home tour was coming up I had grand plans of making an actual table out of wood for back there, but like a lot of things, it didn't get done. But, I couldn't just leave it like this for the tour so I decided to get creative again.
Though I have more tubs like the bottom ones they were being used elsewhere so I pilfered only the lids and set them on top of the cardboard boxes. Obviously, this is a bandaid to a bigger problem, but you know… it is what it is.
Little known fact about me: I don't use a top sheet. I find them unnecessary so I have like 10 top sheets that I never use so I grabbed two white twin top sheets and folded them over the tubs.
Voila! Not a long term solution but it worked great for the home tour (and beyond, it is still holding up nicely). One day I would like to build a simple table for back there but one day at a time.


It's been said a few times, and now even the prestigious Cochrane Review agrees: the best way to lose weight is by adopting a low-glycemic index diet (or low-GI diet).
The diet ranks carbohydrates according to their effect on the body's blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index produce only small fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin levels, whereas high-glycemic foods cause a sudden sugar rush.
High-glycemic foods include all processed foods, such as white bread and rice, as well as fried foods, and especially potatoes. Low-glycemic foods include pulses and most vegetables, and as a result, they cause a longer and slower release of sugars into the blood.
Although the diet was originally designed to help people overcome diabetes, its pioneers also discovered that people were losing weight. It's a result that has been vindicated in many a study since, and now even the Cochrane Review has put its seal of approval on the diet.
It reviewed six randomised and controlled trials that compared the diet with diets that included foods with a higher glycemic count. The researchers confirmed that the low-GI diet outperformed other diets, and was especially good for people who were obese as it allowed them to eat many normal foods without having to stick to a rigid, and restrictive, diet plan.
The Cochrane researchers say that the diet doesn't just help you lose weight, it's good for you, too. People who stayed on the diet also saw their body mass index, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterols all dramatically reduce.
