Are there only 8 episodes to Strange Things? I'm late to the party on this and don't know if it's following the full release or weekly schedule formatting.

Guys please be safe while out catching your Pokemon and if you're with child keep an eye on them. We had a local kid here get hit by a reverse moving car because he ran into moving parking lot traffic looking at his phone and not paying attention.

One of my tabletop gamers keeps sending me Babymetal songs. I keep listening to them. I do not know why.

And Cosmonautica had so much potential...

The roommate went to the game store last night and bought two of the 100 packs of glow in the dark Zombies so we had more zombies for our Zombicide board game night. And I'll be damned if the whole apartment hasn't smelled like that glow in the dark plastic shit since last night.

Sonovabitch.

I have played through and beaten all three games. For a first true-to-origins Shadowrun game that we haven't seen since the Genesis, I think Shadowrun Returns was very well done.

Dragonfall was my favorite. I found the campaign story to be more engaging. And Hong Kong is just as enjoyable but I didn't get as invested in the story as I did with Dragonfall.

All told, I think all three are worth playing through.

My dad is a non-believer of all things paranormal. He thinks the ghost hunter shows are kind of dumb and fake. And he doesn't think things like UFOs and aliens are real. But he once shared a story with a few of my friends and myself that was pretty chilling. I have not been able to get the story out of him again since he first told it - which he did while stoned. But I have had time to ask his brothers and his sister about it and the variety of reactions I got from it, along with the 'Yes this happened' style of responses has always left ME wondering about such things.

Here's what he told us:

My dad was 14 when this happened. So that would make it 69. His family lived down in Felicity Ohio and his grandmother had just passed away. She had a farmhouse with a couple acres of land that she had bought in the late 30s and it had quite a few after-construction additions placed onto it. They were moving in to the house that summer and for the first few nights things were fine.

That's when they started to hear the crying sounds. Particularly his sisters who slept in rooms on the southwest facing of the house. The way he described these sounds was the kind of sounds cats make - when catterwalling, and how those can sound like a baby crying. And that's what they thought it was. A cat making noises at night.

The chilling part is that the back porch on the house, he said, was made of concrete. And it had become weather damaged over the decades and his dad decided a couple weeks after moving in to demolish it and build something with treated wood. So they were hammering the concrete down and they discovered encased in the concrete one of those large cast iron cooking pots that is meant to hang over a fire. And when they looked inside they found scraps of clothing and the bones of two babies; this confirmed by a local doctor who came out to the house with the Felicity cop they reported it to.

The cop wasn't at all interested in pursuing something that was clearly decades old and he let my dad's mother and father bury the bones on the edge of the land under a tree and they got a local priest to say some kind words.

After that day the crying sounds stopped.

Granted in text it may not be as creepy but the way my dad told it, it was definitely creepy.

Re: the screen sharing, have you tried TeamViewer?

@Insomnia also streams. She has an active youtube channel here:

... this may sound bad, but can I get some suggestions? I feel like I need a good cry.

This first 5 minutes of Up ought to do it.

Or the opening sequence of The Last of Us. You can find it on YouTube.

That. That was fucking heart wrenching.

So for those of you who watch your CW shows on Hulu. Going into the next Season you'll only find them on Netflix. Goodluck with that.

Well sonova bitch. I really liked him as an actor and what I've read about him as a person was pretty stellar too.

The price for the items received is pretty great and cheaper than buying the items alone. Not all the items are crate exclusive, some you can purchase as separate items after the exclusivity time expires. They do get some pretty awesome rare items though. I regret not picking up the Witcher crate that was out last year.

Skaldia has been a trash staffer since he got on the game. How are you guys just now realizing this?

@Miss-Demeanor

The returns are being done at a Giant Eagle and not another Walmart. It's really just the front desk people being stupid/not caring because they don't want to deal with pissy customers.

There are people who will buy discounted meat at Walmart and then come over to my roommate's store where it's still full price. And the front desk will return it.

So last month, because of this his department, had almost $3000 in loss and shrink due to 'returns.' So the department manager said that all wrapped meat returns had to be authorized by the shift manager before the front desk can return it. So what the front desk has started doing was telling people to instead just go ask for the store manager and complain that the meat department won't let them return their no receipt purchase for store credit.

Watching Muhammad Ali box was one of the best pieces of live entertainment I have ever seen.

Float well Butterfly.

@Bobotron Oh yeah I had a friend spoil a really awesome scene with Quicksilver at the school. I won't detail it here but...I've seen that part.

Thanks for the heads up about Apocalypse though.

@Bobotron So the preliminary photos of Apocalypse were pretty horrible. How did he turn out in the movie with the effects added in? Satsifactory? Or still Ivan Ooze?
