So I was watching a youtube video on failed fantasy franchises and where are they now. One of them, which honestly surprises me it didn't take off, was The Golden Compass. According to the youtuber they tried to give it the Narnia treatment, make it more action/adventure than the books were...

is that what kids are calling it these days?

Same. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but in hindsight I'd do it differently.

Ugh the, "I'm busy" or "don't know when I'll be free" is such a lame excuse. It's either their way to control the situation or they're legitimately busy. Both suck, because in one scenario they like playing games and that's just juvenile and immature or they don't know what they really want...

When it comes to board games I'm stuck WAAAY in the past. Risk, Monopoly, Scrabble, chess, checkers, etc. More recent games I've played with friends and enjoyed were card games. Cards against Humanity, Apples to Apples and Munchkin are the ones I remember enjoying the most.

When I was in the hospital, a priest would come by every day asking people if I they wanted communion. I would say no thanks every time. I think the third or fourth time I told him, "Sorry father, I'm not catholic anymore," and he said, "Once catholic always catholic. You're just 'in remission.'...

When I was younger I had a photographic memory and I'm certain I would've remembered it. Now, I hardly remember what I did yesterday, my dreams vanish as soon as I wake up, so the fact I even remember what I do about this one is a miracle.

When I was in.... 2nd grade we got new neighbors who had a couple of kids. Their son and I quickly became good friends. Once in school, he heard another friend of mine saying my name and he pointed out, "The way you say, 'Angel' sounds like 'on hell.' Never became an official nickname, but I do...

Right? just 5 years ago I still had very little grey. Must be the stress from the surgeries.

I had a sexy dream last night. To be honest I don't remember most of it, but the fact that I remember any at all is a miracle lately. Anywho. What I remember is this beautiful, blonde, young woman chases after me, "Sir! Sir!" I turn around and she hands me a piece of paper, "Here's Dominik...

I was interviewed by a colleague of mine who is doing his PhD on migrants, specifically on how to reintegrate deported "cholos" (his words), into society. These are individuals who went or were taken as children to the U.S and then for whatever reason (usually crime/gang related) got deported...

I tend to agree with Todd, The first two albums were really good, but that third..... man.... rhymes with turd.

This is EXACTLY how I felt with the Witcher III. Oh, Imma check it out to see what the hype is about.... easily a top 3 game for me. And currently this is what's happened with Octopath Traveler. I wanted something nice and relaxing and I've seriously haven't played anything else. This game has...

Yup, I have to remind my students this is a global crisis.

This trio of young ladies are taking the world by storm. I may be too old to "get it," but the talent is clearly there. How it started: How it's going:

Exactly! Just watched a video on Youtube on how LEGO got so insanely expensive and apparently it's all my generation's fault. Since we grew up with it, now we buy it as adults, but now we are considered "collectors" and I guess that makes us millionaires :rolleyes:. I moved back to Mexico 7...

Sorry I know that sucks, but brought back memories of the Mexico City metro lol

I've been watching late night recaps and not a single one mentioned AOCs speech. So it either didn't shock and awe or it didn't shock and awe ENOUGH compared to others.

Well, anything is better than Clint Eastwood talking to an empty chair...
