This game has such a fun premise, and the atmosphere is incredible. I wish I had enough free time to really get good at it.

Can someone fill me in because I don't want to watch the video. I remember a few years ago, people were really concerned for his mental and physical health because of his binge eating and deteriorating relationships. Did he lose the weight and also get excess skin removal surgery? Cause it looks that way from the photo. How long ago was he morbidly obese?

The "Victorian House" is just the commonly accepted name for the archetectural style. I'm not an architectural expert, but the average person in the US would hear that and imagine a 3 story house with porches and elabroate decorations. The US certainly has a distinctive building and decorative style from that era that is different than any Victorian homes in the UK.

What an absolutely horrific change in her day to day life over the course of a few short weeks. I hope she recovers quickly, although I hear that burn recovery is brutal and that her boyfriend goes to prison forever for such a malicious act.

Was going to say with all of the episode of Dr. Who, it had to be in one of them.

This meme just makes me miss Jim Can't Swim videos on youtube.

What is the point of being self-aware if the only thing you are aware of is your inadequacies and failures? We need validation in order to keep going.

Hey, I love all mystery novels. Cheesy or not!

That was part we were confused by! I literally asked my coworkers before I called the cops if this was some sort of prank they were playing on me because no one else had access to the area and it just seemed like something out of a cheesy mystery novel. When the police opened the bag and it was just clothes I was so relieved, but the roll being inside was weird. Like someone either had another roll of tape for the outside, or they preeemtively cut a length off before putting the roll inside. Who knows. I wonder if I'll ever get a call about it, but suppose no news is good news.

The circumstances it was found in were a little different than OPs, like I said the bag appeared overnight. And on private property where there was no road access. Little bit suspicious for a heavy suitcase to wind up in a place like that. The detective agreed. Police aren't just there to make traffic stops. He said there were a few unsolved missing persons cases that police had searched the nearby area for on account of their circumstances. In one case, a wife went missing, and her husband was spotted circling the roads nearby for hours the night she went missing but her body was never found.

I just kept my story brief because I didn't think anyone would be interested. But there was absolutely reason to think it could amount to something. And all I'm saying is if I get murdered, I hope the local cops I initially called aren't on the job cause those guys acted like they wanted to be sitting in their car eating donuts.

A similar situation happened to me! DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING Call the non emergency number! If they are annoyed that they came out and it winds up being garbage, who cares? At least you didn't ignore something potentially very important.

In my case, it was a suitcase that had duct tape around it. That showed up overnight. I called local cops first that sent guys out that seemed bored, honestly. And my heart was racing as I answered questions. When they opened the bag, it had ripped clothes and a half used roll of duct tape. The local PD literally said "well, we don't have a crime we can match this to." They started to leave without the bag and I was confused why they wouldn't at least take it for evidence? I have watched too many episodes of CSI, cold case etc and was freaking out. They left. I guess they just want to make money on traffic stops.

I couldn't leave the situation there, and a friend knew someone in the State Police. After a few phone calls I got in touch with a detective. Who was very confused that the local cops had handled the situation like that. He arrived and took the bag into evidence and got my information. As far as I know, nothing ever came of it.

I've never heard of it before, but it looks awesome!

As many others have pointed out, you list a lot of their radio hits that I suppose can be overplayed and have become cliche in a way. But BORING? I will have to draw the line there. That music is nothing if not lively and full of spirit. Usually doing something unique with it's themes and style.

Don't tell me you are bored by Fat Bottomed Girls and Killer Queen?

The cover photo they used makes it look like he haasaged 10 years in the last few weeks. Stumbling from embarassing screw up to screw up on the world stage when most people are already against you will really wreck your youthful demeanor.

Good. He deserves this shit.

Can someone explain to me the difference from Control Panel to Settings? It seems like more of a name change and of course, the UI will be different, but won't it effectively be a hub to control your personal settings just like control panel?

He desperately feels the need to continually latch on to famous people of consequence. That's how he deludes himself into thinking he deserves to be in their company.

I never read the source material, so I can't speak to the quality of adaptation. But I could not get past the casting and felt like the number of extremely famous faces detracted from the plot. The first movie I was somewhat able to be emersed in the world despite the main characters being the two most popular young stars of the year. But the second movie, I felt actors were cast in small parts they hardly got a chance to act in. Not that Christpher Walken can't absolutely nail a small part. It just didn't feel like some exotic Sci-fi world when every character was famous from 100 other movies.

My MAGA family was watching on Newsmax, which was apparently mocking Walz for only being an assistant coach. "He's not even a real coach, and they keep calling him Coach Walz."

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel with criticism there.

Also, when I pointed out that I was an assistant coach. And that my athletes refer to me as "Coach Subtracty" it's not weird. No one had a response.

Critical thinking is at an all-time low in this election.

Well, this guy is just fantastic. Everything you want in a museum curator. Just watched some other videos with him playing ancient board games, and he is such a delight.

The Devil in the White City - would love to see the Chicago Worlds Fair brought to life in all it's splendor, and to be directly contrasted with the horror that was HH Holmes murder castle. The book brought that history to life so vividly, and I feel like mini series with great casting would do incredibly well.

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - mysteries and whodunnits are popular again (thank god) and this one has such an interesting premise. When I first read it I was convinced it would be a great video game. But a movie would also be a hit.

Something Wicked this way Comes - not sure if this has ever been adapted, but I've never seen it. The book is so atmospheric and has such a rich cast of characters. We haven't had a movie that really celebrates the moodiness of autumn in a while.
