That looks less like Aunt May and more like Waluigi if he was put into Ride To Hell Retribution.

My favorite Ashens video is the first time he tries to review a toy violin and the translation is so insane he can't stop laughing and has to redo it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adkWiJA9xR0

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Also apparently dressing up as a WW2 evacuee for a school project is a thing in the UK? It happens a lot because it's a really easy way to start teaching what happened in WW2 as it's about children the same age as you're teaching it to. Some 800,000 children were evacuated so there's a really good chance your grandparent was one of the children or at least was a child when it happened. Between that an Land girls it's a bit they can teach which is relate-able and not too horrific for children (Although still traumatising to the children it happened to). It's also in lots of books as the starting point, Chronicles of Narnia probably being the most well known.

Hence tons of food porn for taste/smell?

The fifth member is a dog. They're not famous anymore I guess. If the books are re-printed they should be just titled The Five so no-one sues for false advertising. Actually, make that The Four-and-a-Dog.

I totally forgot that he originally made those books for blind kids, and never pieced together the fact that there’s a decent amount of blind characters in them with that. I do remember reading a report from someone who said when they were a kid they were poor and their parents couldn’t afford much for them, and they read one Redwall book so much that it was almost falling apart. Brian Jacques came to their town for a book signing and the kid was so excited to go but was embarrassed because the book was in such bad shape. He apologized to Brian about it when he got to the front of the line and Brian told him “This one is my favorite of all, because it’s obviously been so well loved”. Brian Jacques ruled

These are way too reminiscent of those fuckin' weird "Elsa Frozen Dentist Horror" and "Spiderman finger family Joker Minions" and "Disney wrong heads bad baby crying" youtube kids videos to be coincidental. The titles of those youtube videos are obviously created by an algorithm that generates a word salad of popular search terms and the videos are made to fit, looks like games have gone the same way.

This one is for High School Gangster Escape: quote:Play criminal escape games! Escape the high school! It’s not a romantic high school love story. Sneak out of this High School that is no less than a prison for the gangster after committing a crime like shooting. There are security cameras to monitor every crime move. Grab weapons to hit and kill security guards of this High School. Escape to the city of gangsters. Avoid security camera. Give hard time to the High School security guards. Win the crazy fight with city police duty officers. Hurt the high school sweethearts; girlfriends and boyfriends. Hit the teachers. Dodge them. Don’t let the police car chase you till the exit point. You are the best gangster of the city. Making a safe prison escape from the High School life is all that you need to do. Its okay if you have to kill the police that border this crazy High School in gangster escape mission. Hit them hard with your weapons. Run for your life. Kill the guards before they kill you! Ruin the romantic love story of charming high school sweethearts. Enjoy crime games adventure! Rockstar should really make Bully 2 and have it be a satire about poorly-funded urban schools.
