The merge-with-Helios ending sets up the probably-better collective-consciousness ending in DE2, but I think Tong's ending is the best on its own merits. HR's endings don't really merit discussion. That game completely failed to stick the landing.
Lesbian Week would make a great protagonist from a modernist novel from the early 1920s. He's a city clerk, he suffers from nerves, he's racist in ways you didn't know it was possible to be, he always looks like he's just tripped over.
1998 was a very good year for games. Several of these could double up in other categories but I think this is a fair spread.
This guy has blocked me for not knowing as much about computers as him. This rules.
Oh, CAD. Computer-Aided Design. It's not software for kids who are cads. Like, kids with loud suits and thin moustaches, smoking gaspers and asking to borrow money from you.
Interesting! Is there any suggestion that the Mafia believed, rightly or wrongly, that Oswald was working for one of their rivals? Was killing him removing an enemy asset, or just retaliating against anyone who affected their interests?
If I had a nickel for every time a Brokenwood Mysteries episode involved the funeral of a wealthy family's gardener who was also a poet, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that both involved someone fleeing accusations of past sex crimes.
I'd really like to know why Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald and whether someone killed Ruby in turn. Oswald's entirely plausible as the killer, but it looks like there was *something* to cover up there...
See, I could never understand this one. Paul McCartney is the most recognisable man in the world. He looked exactly the same as a child as he does now. I'd believe any of the other Beatles were replaced with doubles before I'd believe Paul was.
Clarence.
I lose all interest in horror cults when there's any suggestion that they're right - that whatever beings they believe in might actually exist. The scary thing about cults isn't that they might be right; it's that they're wrong, and kill you anyway, and often get away with it for ages.
You can hug your children with conventional arms. That's a normal thing to do with arms.
Otherwise, there's no rights, no common order - just the strong taking whatever they want. And I'm guessing that's the world they want to live in, because they assume they'll be the strong and their enemies will be the weak.
If they really believe that no-one can be compelled to take any sort of action, ever, then they don't believe there can be any kind of human rights at all - even freedom from slavery. If you believe slavery is wrong, then you must believe that people must be compelled to free others from slavery.
Oh, yeah, this line of thinking is quite common. 'Something's a right, therefore you get it for free, therefore the person who produces it doesn't get paid, therefore they're a slave.' Pretending there's no way someone can get paid other than by selling their goods or services directly to consumers.
So distinguished!!
You joke, but it is one of the few places where you can turn up in a leather vest and chaps for non-cowboy purposes.
Looking forward to the rest of this series - the women seem poised to absolutely run away with it, with the skill they've shown so far! Always delighted to have a Duck Soup mirror routine, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx9W...
Five Alexes Horne in front of the Taskmaster House, dressed as the Series 4 contestants (in Lolly's red puffer jacket, Joe's fur coat, Hugh's denim shirt, Noel's skeleton jumpsuit and Mel's boiler suit, with wigs to match).
Also, you mentioned Taskmaster: The Movie - Alex wore (approximations of) all five contestant outfits for the team of three's attempt!
Alex Horne and Sarah Millican walking through the Taskmaster garden, both wearing shirt dresses with bird patterns.
Another case of Alex wearing a contestant's spare tasking outfit: Sarah Millican in 'Chip Biffington'!
I think they could achieve the one key feature.
I'm just slow today!
It genuinely took me a minute to understand that the bunnies *are* the earrings. I was sitting here thinking 'but none of them are wearing earrings!'.
This is the sort of thing I have nightmares about doing by accident, and it turns out people are doing it for real?
I wonder what the etymology is. (looks it up) Oh, it's far-right bullshit. Of course it is. Everything is these days.
I'm just disappointed that no-one found Alex - because, as we know, he is of uniform width along his length, like a worm rolled in hair.
My take: 'worm' isn't a specific biological category, and has been used to refer to any kind of long creature (including insect larvae, reptiles and various mythical beasts). A mealworm fits the bill as well as an earthworm or a roundworm.
My browser right now, with tabs open for Wikipedia: List of pasta, Wikipedia: Entertainment awards, and Google: how to make a pun so bad you get kicked off the internet.
They want Australia to be more like America and to have closer political and economic ties to America - and, often, they're ignorant enough of our laws and structures that they think American ones apply here.
Yeah, our nationalists and evangelicals and megacaptalists are buddying up to their American equivalents. We call them 'cookers', collectively - the sovcits and MAGAs and general far-right conspiracy-theorist anti-society types.
