Jim Sterling: Fanalyze This: Destiny 2's SHOCKING Teaser Image Torn Apart!

Jim does miss the signifigance of the aureola though.

Wikipedia posted:

An aureola or aureole (diminutive of Latin aurea, "golden") is the radiance of luminous cloud which, in paintings of sacred personages, surrounds the whole figure.

And it can't be ignored that the 2 appears to be the source of the light.

Wikipedia posted:

This is not to be confused with the specific motif in art of the Infant Jesus appearing to be a source of light in a Nativity scene. These depictions derive directly from the accounts given by Saint Bridget of Sweden of her visions, in which she describes seeing this.

Is Destiny 2 the Messiah? The second coming of God among man?

I'm not sure I would exactly call this a review, but it's close enough and quite good. This is a presentation by Stuart Ashen about Hareraiser, which he claims to be the worst "game" ever made. However, before you can learn about Hareraiser, you must first learn about the ridiculous series of events leading up to its creation. Expect an art book, two physics teachers, a false moustache, and a buried treasure.

If you want something a little briefer, you could also watch Jerma985 unbox the contents of the latest Dork Cube. Loot get!

Two new episode of Nick Knacks!

First, we have Video Comics, a show on Nickelodeon just sorta reads comic books to you. It's a cheap filler show, but a good opportunity to explore Nickelodeon's mob roots. No, really.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMjn0PobLsc

Then, for the Halloween season, we jump ahead to 1986 to talk about Marc Summers' Mystery Magical Special, a spooky-themed magic show meant to get kids invested in that guy hosting Double Dare.

Not a review, but a pretty funny series of sketches based on the original Silent Hill by some people who barely speak english themselves. The Inventory sketch is probably my favourte part overall, it's kind of hit and miss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUVaZAUjQ-c

The long-lost episode five of Nick Knacks is now available. This one is one a forgotten show called "Hocus Focus," about a medieval wizard who travels to the present day of 1979, but more importantly, this is a video about it's creator and star, puppeteer Brad Williams, his life and career and how we treat art as a hierarchy. If you watch one episode of Nick Knacks, make it this one.
