Here, as always.

I miss "Go Dwarves, Go!" Volourn.

We don't know that - the show is being revamped by Tyra Banks, who also replaces Tom Bergeron as lead host. No word on whether the co-host role is coming back (the role Andrews had), as I imagine that decision will be tied to whatever Banks and her team do to re-invent the show. The ratings have been going down for a couple of years, so a revamp isn't really all that surprising, no matter how Vol decides to try and spin it.

I loved the Saturn. I liked the DS; 3DS was also good. Switch is awesome. Regarding the actual topic, I think each generation Sony and Microsoft forget a little more of what the theoretical advantages of the console is and move farther from it. Something Nintendo hasn't yet, although they have their own issues. Once sony and ms can convince console gamers to ditch the discs, im sure they'll be happy that they can provide games as. Service though...

I think other games are better at hiding it and/or better at, as Keyrock says, making the story compelling enough that it propells you past things

Gallop is about 25 mph I think.

I played the original a bit, but got bored quickly. My memory was that all the quests seemed to be something along the lines of kill this, come back, then kill this, then come back and fetch this, and now kill this, kill this, fetch that, fetch the other, kill the thing to fetch the other thing, kill the monster and deliver its body, to get the box to give to the dude to get the quest to kill the other dude.

Stairway to Heaven. Because ALL guitarists will try it eventually.

Do we have proof Australian horses aren't venomous...?

My commute would be longer, but it'd probably be worth it. Not sure where I'd corral the horse though while at work. And we'd all have to get used to the smell of horse poop again. True story, several bridges in town exist solely because train traffic was backing up horse traffic, and in the height of summer the heat and smell was overwhelming. So they built bridges to go over the train tracks, eventually raising the street level.

I liked a two of the three.

They're mostly for signaling other riders and I don't know how wide spread they are (its been ages since I biked in a group). Point at road hazard as you pass it, point at road and move hand back in forth for road hazards, hand down and palm parallel to road and move arm up and down to indicate slowing, Signal with elbow when shifting to left or right of group, right arm back and pat backside to signal a need to pay attention to the riders behind, hand open as if pushing on a wall to indicate blocked shoulder or blocked part of the road. So 9 then, unless I'm forgetting 1.

What I'm saying is that you can't blame a car driver for hitting a bicyclist if that bicyclist runs a red light, or hits a pedestrian who, at the last minute, decides to dart out into traffic. And I've seen both happen with regularity. In fact I see bicyclists running red lights and stop signs almost every morning on my commute. Locally, at least, bikes are supposed to obey the same rules as motorcycles. A friend of mind got dragged by a truck because the driver didn't give enough clearance when passing her on her bicycle. I get it - cars can be dangerous for bicyclists. And far too many drivers are impatient with slower speeds that bicyclists maintain and make bad decisions around them. But I hear far too many times, always from bicyclists, that bicyclists are never at fault for accidents as if some rider on a bike running the red light and not yielding to oncoming traffic as they are supposed to can't possible be to blame for getting hit by a car. Nope, its the car drivers fault for not anticipating the bicyclist would run the light, obviously. Don't get me started on bicyclists who don't know how to give proper hand signals for either turns or stops, either. I learned it at, like 6. There's like, three - ten if riding in a group - to learn. Its not that hard.

Not sure where you've seen people dismissing vehicular manslaughter and homicide given that authorities are looking for all the drivers in the incidents listed. That said EVERYONE can be more mindful of the roads: drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists. For every courteous and conscientious driver, walker or biker I've seen, I've seen a driver who can't maintain a lane or fails to yield properly or drives the wrong way down a one way street, a walker who walks against the lights without looking up from their phone or darts across the street without paying attention to oncoming traffic or a bicyclist who gets off the road onto the sidewalk to pass traffic, fails to signal turns or straight up run red lights so they won't be slowed down. We all owe it to each other to look out for each other, no matter what mode of transportation we're using.

Horror film historian Ted Newsom. Maybe not a name you recognize, but he did a number of documentaries on horror films (like 100 Years of Horror, Flesh and Blood: The Hammer Heritage of Horror, Ed Wood: Look Back in Angora) he also wrote and directed the send-up of 50s sci-fi The Naked Monster (aka Attack of the B-Movie Monster). He assisted with a number of other film documentaries providing facts or footage (not always horror related, as he had a lot of information on Hollywood films), contributed to the release of a number of sountracks by late composer Ronald Stein (he did the liner notes for The Haunted Palace/Premature Burial disc amid others) and recorded commentaries on a number of film releases over the years (like The Devil Bat, Day the Earth Caught Fire and Quatermass II). As an actor he appeared in a number of bit roles usually for low budget exploitation type films. Probably his biggest flirtation with mainstream success is scriptwork he did for the 80s iteration of Spider-Man, when Golan-Globus had the rights at the time (which eventually went to MGM when they bought Cannon films and later were traded to Sony) and was a part of the long and tortuous route for that character to get to the screen in 2002.

Homelessness is a crime?
