I found this College Notes Book from 1927 full of experiments and its the coolest thing I've ever seen! Might be hidden technology in here who knows!
My kids sent me this picture and I'm like "My God did you murder a Smurf?"
They said "What's a Smurf?" These kids..
Have you ever seen this card game before?
This was my family's favorite game to play on game night!
Mhing was released in 1982 and the best way to describe it is a card game that's kind of a cross between Mahjong and Phase 10 using a point system. You are rewarded points for different sets that you place down out of your hand and it's a race to 500 points.
Like Phase 10 everyone is dealt a certain amount of cards (13), with the remaining cards left in the middle along with a discard pile. You make 'sets' in your hand by matching same suits and making runs of numbered cards.
Play begins by taking 1 card either from the discard pile or from one of the face down pile. You then discard 1 card from your hand the play goes to the next person on your left. On your turn you can lay down your sets then are allowed to play your remaining cards onto others sets that other players had laid down. You get points depending on how many in your set you were able to lay down, and you "go out" by getting rid of all the remaining cards in your hand after you completed your sets.
This game is players 10 and up as it can be a bit difficult and each game takes about an hour to finish.

This was my introduction to Grand Theft Auto.
1997 I think it was, on my Playstation 1.
Have they said when GTA 6 is supposed to come out?

Today's cartoon of the day is Dungeons & Dragons. This was only a short lived series but it helped solidify my love for D&D. On days I am down I will throw this one and get in a better mood. #CartoonOfTheDay

Happy 60th Birthday to Jon Favreau! 🎉
From directing ‘Iron Man’ and ‘The Jungle Book’ to creating ‘The Mandalorian,’ Favreau has made a lasting impact on Hollywood. He also brought Happy Hogan to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and helped launch the MCU with his work on ‘Iron Man.’
It's that time of year again! Do you have your KFC firelog yet?
These are a very real thing that sold at Xmas time in 2018 and yes when burned, they smelled like KFC Chicken.
Did you have one? Would you buy one if they released them again?
"Nintendo Just Announced a Re- Release of the Original NES System that plays the original cartridges, but with Modern Advancements!!"
That announcement would break the Internet, if it were real.
If Nintendo were to re-release the Original 1985 North American NES system that played the Original NES game cartridges, but with some modern advancements, I imagine it would look something like this.
Would you buy one?
Do you think it would sell?
