Shining Force is a tactics role-playing game for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive
that arrived in North America in 1993 with the subtitle "The Legacy of Great Intention."
Whatever that means.
The story follows Max
a guy that was found washed up on a beach with amnesia.
Hmm...that sounds familiar..
Anyway, he has become best friends with a local guy named Lowe
and has been studying under Lord Varios.
One day a mysterious man named Kane, who works for Darksol,
appears with the armies of Runefaust and attempts to break into the Shining Path
a place that holds the destructive Dark Dragon.
After the king sends Max and his friends to stop Kane,
the group is pulled into the nefarious plot of Darksol and must travel the world to stop him.
Interestingly the original translation of the game on the Sega Genesis
completely left out the fact that max is an amnesiac
which makes the revelation of who Kane is
-without spoiling I'll say that Max knows him -
completely pointless.
It's especially strange given that the translation is pretty good for a game that came out in 1993.
Breath of Fire 2 was released 2 years laters
and has one of the worst translations ever.
There's a plot divergence in the Game Boy Advance remake of Shining Force
in that you play as the princess of Runefaust, Narsha,
as well as Max.
After realizing that the king has been possessed by Darksol
she seeks out the Shining Force and eventually joins the main group after the first 6 chapters
To perhaps compensate for a lack of voice acting
all of the characters' dialogue is punctuated with sound effects
and while I normally don't mind that kind of thing
the tones they went for in this game are a little annoying.
Actually the music is fairly annoying as well.
The actual compositions aren't bad
if I find re-orchestrated versions, some of the songs are really amazing
but I vastly prefer to play this game with other music playing.
I think this really just comes down to personal taste
as I just don't really like the Genesis' sound chip.
Sega might have had BLAST PROCESSING
but the Super Nintendo creamed them in sound quality.
At least I think so anyway.
The gameplay in Shining Force is fairly standard for an isometric, turn-based title
but does differ in the way turns work.
Most modern games of this type have you move all of your characters in a single turn
before you pass it over to the enemy team
but that's not the case here.
The game sorts out every character and enemy into a turn order
and it moves from person to person
which means that you could have multiple enemies taking actions in the middle of two of your characters'.
This adds a different layer of difficulty to the game
as you could move one character to attack an enemy and then end up surrounded.
It would be a little easier if the game told you the movement order but it doesn't.
So you have to either memorize it as you go or just wing it.
The AI isn't even all that smart
it tends to move in very specific ways
but it can easily overwhelm you this way, leading to much more drawn out battles.
Speaking of not showing things
there isn't really much of a HUD to speak of here.
The game will show you a character's stats when it is their turn
but other than that, everything is hidden.
The only way to see more detailed stats
is to press a button when on a character and then press another one to bring it up.
It's oddly convoluted and kinda slow for a game on a cartridge.
Hiding everything like this does keep the screen from being too crowded
but I honestly would've preferred more information as switching is just kind of a pain.
Despite movement being tricky and the lack of HUD being annoying
the battles are generally quite fun in their simplicity.
There aren't any elaborate combo attacks or anything of that sort
just pure smashing things with weapons and magic.
If you're looking for something simple, Shining Force is a great choice.
Of course there is a problem with that simplicity
and it comes along with the territory of older, more archaic games.
The lack of more modern tweaks
means that you're probably going to be annoyed by some backwards-ass systems.
First of all
despite your characters gaining EXP to level up and become more powerful
the game doesn't offer you any side quests or random enemies to fight
so all you can do is fight in the main storyline battles.
It DOES seem like they thought of this at least a little bit though
as when you're killed you end up back at the last priest you visited without losing any progress.
So if you're really in need of some EXP
you can go into a battle,
fight as long as you can in order to gain some levels
and then die and try it again.
This works well enough but you will need to pay the priest a sum
to revive every single dead character, so be careful about your money.
There's another little nit to pick in that the RPG elements of exploring towns
and talking to people feels a little redundant at times.
There are times where it has you talk to a character
leave the screen to trigger an event
and then has you walk straight back.
It's cool that a game this early doesn't just have you going from battle to battle
but sometimes the exploration is just pointless.
At least there is treasure to be found and new characters to recruit from time to time.
The second old school aspect
and arguably the most annoying thing ever
is the inventory management
and good GOD have games come a looong way.
You can only buy items one by one,
every character has a limit of 4 items each,
- which effects treasure chests by the way, as in if Max's inventory is full
you can't get the items out -
you can't see what an item does just by selecting it,
and once your inventory is full
you have to pass items around. One by one.
The upside here is that you aren't going to be managing hundreds of items at once
but that's cold comfort when you have to deal with this tedium CONSTANTLY.
Equipping is dealt with slightly better
in that you can see which characters can use the weapons when buying from a shop
Buuuuut
the game forgets to let you know when it's just sitting in your inventory.
Have fun passing that random item around for 20 minutes while you try to figure out who it's for.
Can you tell what the worst part of the game is yet?
At least the graphics are a pretty great part of the game.
Everything is nicely colourful
- although there is an overemphasis of green for some reason -
and every character sprite looks unique.
What's also really neat is when battles take place on maps that you were just walking around normally on
like in towns.
The in-battle graphics are especially cool and blew my mind as a kid.
It wasn't common to see these large, super detailed sprites in games
and the addition of the neat effects were icing on the cake.
These sequences have been outdone
but these were definitely cool back in the day.
Overall I found Shining Force to be a fun game to play and my issues with it were small
except for the item management aspect.
While I've played enough retro games to be able to handle the frustration
this could be a deal breaker for some.
Add in the other nitpicks like the annoying music
and the length of the battles
and I'd have to say this one is firmly in the try before you buy category.
You may love it
or you may very well hate it.

10 Toys That Were Found Inside People - Duration: 6:25.
• Who got something stuck so far inside him, he died from it?
Where did someone end up getting a fidget spinner stuck?
These are 10 times people got some kind of toy stuck inside them…
somewhere.
10 – SpongeBob SquarePants • Little kids swallow stuff all the time.
So when a 16-month-old boy showed up to his doctor in Saudi Arabia with a breathing problem,
the doctor pretty much knew what to expect.
• Or so he thought.
• What came up on the X-Ray was a picture-perfect image of Spongebob Squarepants, with everything
from the shoes to the fingers to the facial expression perfectly visible.
• The toy was safely removed, and it looked super happy about it.
9 – Squeaky dog toy • Keeping up with the theme of "Kids swallow
dumb things," here's one that somehow inhaled a dog's chew toy.
• A squeaky one, no less.
• This resulted in a hilarious viral video in which his breathing and laughing turned
into dog toy squeaks.
• Luckily, it didn't block his windpipe at all, and he turned out fine.
Of course… we still don't know WHY he inhaled a squeaky toy.
That would imply he had it in his mouth, which is… gross.
8 – Magnetic Balls • Rare Earth magnets are small, round, and
powerful.
And apparently, they're easy to swallow.
• Swallowing one is bad, but swallowing a bunch of them?
• Well, let's just say they're still magnets, even when inside your body.
• From 2002 to 2011, magnets caused about 22 thousand, 500 hundred injuries to kids.
Most of them were swallowed, but a few were actually shoved up the nose.
• One 8-year-old girl swallowed magnets AND batteries, which stuck together in her
stomach, caused an ulcer, and resulted in doctors having to remove 10 centimeters of
her intestines.
7 – Killer vibrator • 50-year-old Nigel Willis of London died
of septic shock in 2014.
Specifically, it was multi-organ failure, sepsis, and a perforated bowel.
• The cause of this, of course, was Mr. Willis shoving a vibrating dildo so far up
his ass he couldn't get it out.
• This actually happens a lot, and it usually prompts an embarrassing visit to the emergency
room.
• But Mr. Willis decided he wanted to spare himself that indignity, and tried to simply
work it out by… lying down on the couch, apparently.
• For five days.
• By the time he made it to the emergency room, the dildo had ruptured his bowels and
it was too late to save him.
6 – Water absorbent ball • The great grandmother of 8-month-old Aunraya
Deweese thought the baby had just swallowed a piece of candy.
• But nope!
It was actually a toy.
A Water Balz toy, specifically, billed to expand to up to 400 times its regular size
when exposed to moisture.
• You know what's in the human body?
A LOT of moisture.
So naturally, the ball grew inside her until it had distended her stomach and blocked her
entire digestive system.
• The baby needed surgery to have the toy removed, luckily, they caught it early, and
there were no complications – but several parts of her digestive tract ended up quite
a bit bigger than normal.
5 – Fidget Spinner • It was only a matter of time, right?
It seemed inevitable that one of these things would end up inside somebody.
• Fidget spinners are a pretty bad choking hazard, because parts of them are the right
size to get stuck in your throat, but the wrong shape to get Heimliched out.
• That's what happened to Kelly Rose Joniec's daughter Britton, who got a piece of a fidget
spinner stuck in her throat.
She said she'd put the spinner in her mouth to clean it.
Because that's how you clean them, apparently?
• It had to be endoscopically removed, but luckily didn't do any real damage
4 – Toy car tire • Kids put stuff in their mouths and noses
all the time.
It's really no big deal.
Usually.
• But when six-year-old Isaak Lasson began suffering from nasal congestion, snoring,
and a loss of smell, his parents understandably got a little concerned.
• The doctor seeing Isaak immediately assumed he was going to find something in his nose,
because he'd seen it dozens of times before.
• The toy car tire he found in Isaak's nose was pretty much expected.
What he DIDN'T expect to find was a huge ball of fungus surrounding that car tire,
because it had been up there for three years.
3 – Decaying sex toy • Most of these things so far have entered
the body through the mouth or the nose.
• This one used a somewhat different entry point.
• A Scottish woman got a sex toy lodged in her vagina during a drunken sex session…
and then forgot about it.
• So when the 38-year-old woman complained of weight loss, lethargy and incontinence,
finding a sex toy poking into her bladder pretty much explained everything.
• When the toy was removed, the woman said she'd remembered using the toy… more than
10 YEARS earlier.
2 – Toy dart • Usually, when some sort of foreign object
gets lodged in a person's body, it causes a problem, and they get it checked out relatively
quickly.
• Steve Easton was 51 years old before he discovered his problem.
Of course, his problem was never anything worse than sniffles and the occasional headache.
• Which is actually pretty amazing, because the problem was a little rubber toy dart that
was stuck in his nose for 44 YEARS.
• He had stuck it in his nose at age 7, and somehow nobody had ever noticed it was
there.
• After 44 years, it had started to decompose.
One day, he sneezed, and the dart tip – which was about the size of a penny – came flying
out.
1 – Dinosaur Toy • As the story goes – originally appearing
on the Guardian – a student nurse saw a patient walk into a sexual health clinic with
a pained hobble.
• The nurse assumed the problem was a bad case of thrush – a common yeast infection.
• That was until the woman said, "I was playing with my son's toy dinosaur.
And it's stuck," with a gesture towards her crotch.
• The T-Rex was removed without incident.
• Afterwards, the nurse uttered the best piece of medical advice you may ever hear:
"I don't advise inserting children's toys during sexual activity, however if you
do choose to masturbate with a toy dinosaur, I recommend buying your own, and perhaps tying
a leash to its foot."

Shankar Jai Kishan 3 in 1 - शंकर जय किशन 3 in 1- Ep 37 - 27th September, 2017 - Duration: 21:23.
Look how he is fooling us.
He went to work as Kishan.
Then, how did he come out as Jai?
He didn't return from the hospital as Shankar
and Twinkle isn't even getting angry on him.
Sir, Ms. Twinkle is too nice. She is naive. - Is it?
But the youngest one is the smartest.
She has gone to Kishan's shop with a hockey stick!
Yes, sir! She won't find Kishan there.
It's because, Kishan is sitting in the room as Jai. - Yes!
Simple, get this hockey stick off my back.
It doesn't look good.
A wife needs to take the hockey stick at times
to protect her husband.
It can be to thrash her husband's enemies
and even for her husband.
Well done! Well done, dear. Beat him up!
Make sure, there are scars on his body!
I am very happy to see this scene.
Mr. Gupta. - Yes.
He is my husband.
Only I have the right to make fun of him
or to teach him a lesson.
And if someone dares to make fun of him
I will hit him with this hockey stick!
Baby, go inside.
Dear, what are you doing?
You shouldn't be doing this. Listen to me!
What is happening? Why can't I understand?
This is driving me crazy!
Wait a minute. Let's go through it once again.
Okay, sir.
Kishan went to work in front of us. - Yes.
Then, how did Jai come out of the room?
He did come out. He was locked in the room
and his wife was guarding the door. - Yes.
Then, how did Kishan come with Simple?
My head hurts.
How is he doing all this?
Come on! Go right there.
What happened, dear? What is this?
This is torture. Mom, she is torturing me.
She pointed the hockey stick at me and got me home
in this condition in front of the society.
Had your mom been alive, she would explain to you
that a husband shouldn't be beaten in this way.
Yes!
You should beat him in a room!
At times, you should put him in a jute bag and then beat.
Then there won't be any marks on his body.
Dad, I am not beating him!
I am doing all this for his betterment.
Move aside.
Mother-in-law, I called him and told him
to leave all the work and come home.
He didn't come. Then, I went to his office to get him back!
Even then, he wasn't ready to come home.
So, tell me, Mother-in-law. What else could I have done?
You could apologise to me and go home.
I can't leave my work and stay home.
Why can't you stay home?
Both of your brothers are at home
then why can't you be?
Both the brothers are here!
Does this mean that Shankar is home too? - Yes.
Both of them are in their rooms.
How is this possible? - What?
I mean, how can they leave their work?
I had to call him home!
Shankar is meditating.
And Jai is sleeping.
I don't understand.
Why have they been confined?
It's because of him, Father-in-law.
His strange predictions have caused this.
He has asked my brothers to be home!
He says that we are surrounded by some ominous energy
and that will be here the entire day
which can even bring us death.
We are supposed to stay home till evening.
Now that he has said it, you can't take a risk.
Simple, you did the right thing. - Isn't it?
Wow! That's good!
Everyone is supporting the daughters-in-law.
No one is bothered about us.
Only the daughters-in-law will rule the house.
I am going to lock myself in the room now.
Even you can stand outside the room like your sisters
and guard it.
Hey.. - Kishan!
'How is this possible?'
'How can the same person lock himself in three rooms?'
What should I do now?
For how long can I keep Brother Jai sleeping?
What about Shankar?
For how long will he meditate?
Dear God, give me an idea.
Give me an idea. Idea! Idea!
Kishan! Dear Kishan!
I miss you!
Please open the door.
I won't open the door! - Why not?
Why won't you open? Please open it.
I will not! You will come inside and check on me.
I am not in a mood to get myself checked.
I will not check on anything. I swear on God.
Please let me come in.
No! If she comes in, then, how will I come out
as Brother Jai and Brother Shankar?
Kishan! Kishan!
Why aren't you opening the door? Open it!
I am angry with you. This is too much!
How can a wife get her husband home in this manner?
It was so humiliating, what you did!
I am angry now. That's why, I will not open the door now.
I will not open the door!
Mother-in-law, he is not listening to me.
You can continue trying. He will listen to you.
Yes. - Continue.
I hurt my back
while pushing Kishan.
To heck with you, Kishan! To heck with you!
Who is calling me?
Here you go.
Think of the devil and here he calls.
Gosh! Hello.
Babbar! Are you cursing me or greeting me?
At this moment, I don't need your curse.
At this point, I want someone to come and save me.
To heck with you and your heavy body!
Hey!
I have hurt my back because of you.
Babbar, don't talk nonsense at this moment.
I am stuck in a problem.
Come and help me out.
I need you. - No chance!
Even if I am chased by dogs today
I will tell them to bite me as I can't run.
Not just that, I can't even get up from bed.
I am sorry. Over and out.
Get lost. - Babbar, look, I..
Hello!
Babbar always turns me down at the end moment!
I hope, I get an idea.
Ms. Savitri. - Yes.
When will Jai wake up?
Jai works the entire night.
He won't wake up that early.
He might wake up after 1:00 pm.
Ms. Savitri, don't you think that Mr. Shankar
is too busy with his meditation?
Even I get engrossed in meditation
but even I open my eyes sometimes to eat Pakoras.
Sir, it's possible that he might have fallen asleep.
Yes, anything is possible.
The fan has been rotating.
What if it falls down all of a sudden?
Are you getting me or not, Ms. Savitri?
Yes.
Nothing of that sort, happens!
Twinkle. - Yes.
Just check if Shankar is fine or not.
Okay.
Shankar!
Shankar, open the door. Mother-in-law wants to talk!
Shankar, say something! Come out.
I need to see you.
'How will he say anything?'
'Shankar is dressed as Kishan in Kishan's room.'
'Wow! What a great move that was!'
'He's finally trapped.'
Why isn't he opening the door?
Mother-in-law, I think the fan fell on his head.
Shankar!
Twinkle, what are you saying?
The fan is right above me.
I am meditating and calming myself.
I heard him, Mother-in-law. He is fine.
Shankar, come out!
Wait! I need to meditate a little longer
and only then I will come out.
'How is this possible?'
He is here. - Yes.
'Impossible! What kind of a miracle is this?'
Shankar, are you fine? I wanted to check on you.
Yes, I am absolutely fine
but I am a little enraged!
I meant to say that I am angry!
Have you locked my other two brothers too?
No, Jai himself decided to sleep in his room!
Oh! What about Kishan?
Kishan is a bit angry with me.
So, he locked himself in his room.
Not a little but he must be very angry!
If you get him embarrassed in front
of the entire colony and get him home like a hostage
he'd definitely be furious! - Oh, God!
Dear, I didn't get this. How did you come to know?
You were engrossed in meditation, right?
Yes!
I was engrossed in meditation.
But not my mobile phone.
Brother Kishan texted me over the phone
all the incidents that he was subjected to.
Move, Simple.
I need to speak to Kishan.
'What! How will he speak to himself before everyone?'
Kishan!
Kishan.
'Yes, Brother. Tell me.'
Kishan, don't get annoyed like this.
Anger is harmful to health.
Give up your anger.
'I won't.'
'I am boiling with rage.'
'Does anyone thrash one's husband like this?'
'Brother, Nirmala must be respected in your clinic'
'more than me here.'
True..
Kishan, I miss you.
Come on, why are you saying that you miss him?
Apologise. Be sorry. Shed tears.
Go on your knees and plead to him like a beggar.
Okay.
Kishan, sorry.
'Is it so? If you are really sorry, let me go to office.'
'My client must be waiting for me.'
Listen, you have apologised. Now let him go.
Or else, he will get furious.
No!
I won't let you go anywhere.
Remain upset and stay inside if you want to.
Whatever I am doing is for your own benefit.
Had something like this happened to me, wouldn't you
have stopped me?
Kishan, why are you quiet? Come on, speak up.
'I hadn't recorded the answer to this.'
'Then how will he speak?'
Come on, speak up.
Simple, it seems he has got annoyed and become quiet.
He won't speak anymore.
After all, for how long can a battery last?
I mean, energy.. Strength.
He is tired.
Sage.
Please keep your mouth shut.
Or else, a fly may end up in it.
You must be very pleased
to see us, three brothers, locked up inside the rooms.
You fool! Why are you blaming him?
Whatever he is doing is for the benefit of you brothers.
Aren't you getting it? - Let it be, Ms. Savitri.
I am used to being criticised despite doing good
to this family.
Wow, Sage!
You are speaking like an everyday soap..
I mean, a daily soap..
A daily soap daughter-in-law.
Mom, I request you
to end this superstitious activity.
Or else, because of this wicked guy, you will find
your sons annoyed like this.
Allow us to report to our respective duties.
And so, I'm going to the clinic.
No, Shankar. - Stop him.
No. - Stop! I said, stop!
You won't go anywhere.
Neither you nor your brothers will.
You won't be able to budge from here today.
Or else, you'll get beatings.
Once upon a time, we used to get 'Aloo Parathas' from mom.
Today, we will be getting beatings.
I am terribly hurt by this.
I need to go to the room again and get engrossed in meditation.
Dear, listen to me.
Don't become a meditator. Become wise.
Try to understand the matter.
Father-in-law, I'll become wise.
But in order to cool my anger, I need to get engrossed
in meditation.
Shankar, but.. - Please move.
'How is it possible!'
'I need to find out the truth.'
Hello, Babbar. How is it going, pal? How are you?
How is your lovely back doing? - Wow, you selfish guy!
Today, you find even my back lovely! - Yes.
I've consumed a wonder drug for pain relief.
So, my back feels better than before.
It's absolutely fit. How about you?
What is your situation? - How do I tell you?
I'm doomed. Half the day has gone by, somehow.
This sword named Bhokal is hanging over my head.
Pal, I feel that this time, I am going to be in deep trouble.
Is it so? What idea is going on
in your mischievous mind? - An idea and in my mind?
Rather, it's the tension.
Do you know? Brother Jai is sleeping.
It's time for him to wake up. If he wakes up and steps out
what about the other two?
It's the superstition of Bhokal that has laid this trap.
Somehow, we need to break this superstition.
Only if it breaks, something will work out, Babbar.
Listen, I have a brilliant idea
by which you can escape, but it's very risky.
Forget risk.
Even otherwise, my life is not safe.
Fine. Then listen.
Let me hear it..
What! Have you gone crazy?
How will I do it?
I had already told you that the idea is risky.
Anyway you have to die but give it a try.
Who knows you may end up surviving!
I can't offer you any help in this idea
because I am retired hurt.
Let your old back catch fire! - Okay, let me hang up.
Bye.. - No..
Don't hang up. I was saying
how greatly I admire your young back!
Never mind if you can't come to help me.
At least, give me all the stuff. - I will do it.
Don't you worry.
Be here in some time. I'll keep everything ready.
Okay?
All right, Babbar. I will be there.
You are no less than a God.. All right? Bye..
Bye. Come over.
Oh, God! Please save me.
Kishan turned out to be more shrewd and deceptive
than I had imagined him to be!
Sage, there's amazing news in the newspaper!
Want me to read it out? - If I refuse, you'd still read.
I agree.
But well, let me read it out to you.
Sage, the news is
that a sage had a dream
that he'll be dying at 4 a.m.
The devotees gathered around to bid him final farewell.
But the sage didn't pass away till 8 a.m.
So, the crowd who had gathered got angry
and thrashed the sage
to death!
His dream came true
although just four hours later.
Isn't it interesting news?
Wow!
What amazing news you read out to me, you balcony guy!
Amazing! - Wow!
Even my dream will come true. - Really, Sage!
In order to expose Kishan
I have got a bizarre idea!

in Canada, and some other countries, they don't have
stuff that we do, and this is why I think that Canada
has been a successful country in the
last 150 years, happy birthday, Canada.

A Kid Called Mayonnaise | Secret Screening - Duration: 8:21.
As a critic and media... reviewing... person, it's sometimes hard to put words to how
a movie or song or game or tv show makes me feel without coming across as trite, or hyperbolic,
or false.
In a world drowning in millions of critics calling everything "Epic" or "Amazeballs"
or "Awesomesauce" - how do you reach over the noise and let people know how much something
means to you?
Folks, in this video I'll be talking about Will McRobb's pilot for Amazon Studios,
A Kid Called Mayonnaise.
And in order to properly explore its twenty four minute run time, I'll be spoiling a
lot of the plot of this episode.
However, the true value of this show is really tied up in the experience of watching it for
yourself, so in this case I wouldn't worry too much about spoilers.
So join me, as I investigate the snazziest voicemail I've ever watched, A Kid Called
Mayonnaise.
INTRO
Before I begin.
Please know you can find a direct link to the pilot in the description below, and the
good news is - you do not need an Amazon Prime account to see it.
So at any time, I highly recommend pausing this video, checking it out, and then coming
back to my video to hear what I have to say about it.
To best break down A Kid Called Mayonnaise, you first need to take a quick look at the
staggering body of work of Will McRobb.
If you ever started a sentence with "Only a nineties kid will remember" then odds
are, you're going to reference something that Will worked on.
He was all over early nineties Nickelodeon.
He was a story editor on Rocko's Modern Life, He was a writer on The Ren and Stimpy
Show and Doug, he was the co-creator of KaBlam! - and more modernly he's helped develop
Channel Frederator's Bravest Warriors and he even wrote my favorite episode of Danger
and Eggs!
But his fans likely know him best for co-creating the cult phenomenon, The Adventures of Pete
and Pete.
I'll be talking a much deeper dive into The Adventures of Pete and Pete in an upcoming
video, but for those who don't know anything about this show - for three seasons and a
few shorts it featured the misadventures of Pete, Pete's brother Pete, their Dad, their
Mom, Mom's metal plate in her head, Pete's tattoo Petunia, Artie The Strongest Man In
The World, and a well defined world's worth of oddball characters portrayed by a veritable
Who's Who of indie cool.
But more important than the guest stars was the engine that drove the show.
It was about childhood trials and tribulations as seen through the lens of absurdist whimsy.
Pete and Pete was a weird show that never pointed out the fact that things were weird.
In fact, it validated to an impressionable audience that it's okay to be strange.
And that lesson of acceptance is baked into every episode - and cleverly subverts the
show's stodgy conservative suburban setting.
And that brings us back to A Kid Called Mayonnaise.
You see, this show isn't a Pete and Pete reboot or rip off.
It's a fresh story with original characters, a stellar cast, and a similar theme.
Mayo Davis is an Ohio transplant who's feeling a little lost after moving with his mom, Muriel,
to LA.
After her father's passing, she inherited the Alamo Hotel, an aging but well kept bit
of Americana that lives up to it's tagline, LA's best kept secret.
The plot follows Mayo's quest to find a Birthday Girl who waives at him and tosses
him a piece of candy from her birthday float.
To do so, he teams up with a woman named Candy, and the two track down the float.
After a series of intimate confessions, chase scenes, and grand theft duck, Mayo accomplishes
his quest.
He befriends the Birthday Girl, but gains so much more than her friendship.
That's selling this magnificent show incredibly short, because the heart of this show beats
in small character driven moments that reveal so much about the people that inhabit the
world of A Kid Called Mayonnaise.
Murel is known as the crazy lady who takes in strays, which has led not only to a small
menagerie of offbeat animals, but to someone dropping off an unwanted full grown ostrich
in their front office.
And in just one of the the shows many touching moments it's revealed by Mayo that even
he was a stray.
Left on his mother's doorstep one night by someone who didn't want him and taken
in.
Even being named after the box he was found in - Mayonnaise.
Other shows would mine this for melodramatic pathos, or leave Mayo with the emotionally
arrested baggage of abandonment issues - but A Kid Called Mayonnaise sidesteps all that.
He's cool with his origin story, because he loves his Mom, and his Mom loves him.
And that's all that matters.
It's that level of self acceptance that allows him to speak so frankly and often reveal
way too much about himself, and in turn it's what makes him and everyone in the show so
marvelously endearing.
You see, The Alamo is home to misfits.
Weirdos and strays that seemingly don't fit into the audience's idea of normal,
but all who have found the special place where they fit in.
And that's what this show is all about.
Finding that special song, or person, or group of friends, or place, or thing, or purpose
that gives you hope despite life's funny way of crushing your soul.
That special something that makes you want to cry as you laugh with joy.
Finding where you fit.
Finding your Alamo.
And realizing that the only way to truly find that special something means letting go.
Letting go of the walls we put up and accepting every aspect of ourselves.
Even the weird parts.
And sometimes letting go is hard.
Which is why my favorite part of this story is the framing device of this episode.
A voicemail Mayo leaves for his old home telling it the whole adventure he's been through.
It belies that he's still having trouble saying goodbye to his old life, but that he's
starting to accept his new one.
Personally I've watched A Kid Called Mayonnaise close to ten times so far, and I feel like
I'll be returning to it many more times to come.
And much of that is thanks to the masterful acting by the entire cast.
Elliott Smith as Mayo Davis deserves a million emmys.
Thanks to Brooke Markham I now have a huge crush on Candy Alonzo.
Beth Lacke's Muriel Davis is surprisingly deep despite her short screen time, and Shaan
Sharma's Mr. Cavendish has given me a game that has made me hated by my neighbors - but
loved by their kids.
I'm also looking forward to learning more about the mysterious Kincaids quirkily played
by Alexander Guder and Celeste Thorson.
I definitely want to see more of the Birthday Girl played by Brianna Reed as well as her
intimidating musical family.
But mostly I look forward to seeing more of A Kid Called Mayonnaise's resident superhero,
Calamine Jones.
Ivy George had a very tricky role as the silent nigh-personification of acceptance, and she
nearly stole the show in the exact same way Toby Huff did as Artie The Strongest Man In
The World.
I look forward to what Will McRobb does with the character as much as I look forward to
seeing what Ivy can do with it.
If you'd like to see this show and help it get made into a full series, now is the
time to help.
You can of course watch the show via the link below, but you have just until the end of
September to take the survey and let Amazon know what you think of A Kid Called Mayonnaise.
I encourage you to honestly answer the questions and provide constructive criticism.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time, I'm Douglas MacKrell, and I'm asking you to share and like this video,

Here's My Canada: Equal Rights and Freedom - Duration: 0:27.
Canada is a beautiful and
well-built country, I've been to Pakistan,
and the roads aren't built, there are not
many jobs, and a lot more poverty. In
Canada, the systems in place make it a
beautiful country, they also have many
opportunities for jobs, so you don't see
a lot of homelessness as you do in many
other countries, although it gets very
cold here at times, Canada is
mostly in advance and a great country.

Jewelry Making Tutorial: How To Make Copper Filigree Earrings - Duration: 5:04.
Have you ever seen one of these filigree pieces in the beading section of the
craft store or at a bead show and wondered what to do with them? Well we love using them
in all kinds of jewelry pieces and today we're going to show you how to turn them
into a beautiful pair of earrings. Super easy! The first thing we're going to do
is take a head pin and we're gonna feed on a couple of crystal beads. This is a
six millimeter a faceted crystal bead. It's got a pretty AB finish. We just like
the way it looks with this aged copper. We're gonna add a crystal bicone on top.
And we chose a clear crystal just because we thought it looked pretty with
this AB finish of this the green here. And now we're gonna make a partial
wrapped loop to connect it to our filigree piece. And to do that we've got
round-nose pliers. We're gonna grasp the wire of the head pin right above that
bicone bead make a 90-degree bend, like that. We're going to reposition the
pliers to the top of that bend and pull the wire around the top jaw of our
pliers. We're going to reposition the pliers to the bottom jaw and pull the
wire around to make a loop. So there's our loop. But we're not going to close it
yet. We're gonna feed it through one of the loops in our square filigree here
and now we're gonna wrap our loop. And to do that we're going to use our round-
nose pliers again and we're just going to grasp across the loop like that, then
pull the tail around the neck of our head pin twice. Just like that. And
then we'll trim our wire. And we're using flush cutters. Flush cutters are flat on
one side and angled at the other side. We're going to use the flush side
against the project and that way we will get a little pokey end that sticks out.
And there is our little dangle on our earring and if you
end up with a little bit of a tail sticking out, if you don't get too close
of a cut, you can always use a pair of chain nose pliers, which are the pliers
that are flat on the inside, and just press the end down. Or you could actually
use a nail file and file it. That's another little trick. Here we go now to
turn this into an earring, we've got a little earring wire here that's the same
metal finish. We're going to use our round-nose pliers. You could use your
chain-nose pliers for this too. And we're just going to open the loop that's on
the earring just by bending it out like that. And then we're going to slide our
earring onto our earring wire just like that. And then we're going to close the
loop back with our round nose pliers just like that. And there's our first
earring. So pretty! We'll just do that again real quick so
you can see it again. We've got our head pin. We'll feed on our focal bead,
followed by our bicone bead like that. Now we're going to make a wrapped loop.
So I'm going to use the round-nose pliers to grasp the wire
above that bicone bead, bend 90 degrees, reposition the pliers, wrap around the
top jaw to make a partial loop, reposition the pliers to the bottom jaw,
and finish the loop. There's our loop. But before we wrap our loop, we're going to
slide on, slide it on to our filigree, put that into our filigree like that. And now
we're going to wrap that loop by grasping across the loop with our round
nose pliers and then wrapping the tail around the neck twice. And we're using
square filigrees, but you could use a round filigree or an oval filigree. Just
as long as you've got a little hole in the top and the bottom that you can feed
your head pin of your dangle and your earring wire through.
Now we're going to trim. And there's our dangle. And now we just need to attach
our earring wire. Open up our loop on our earring wire and then we're going to
slide on our filigree and then close the loop with our round-nose pliers. There's
our beautiful pair of filigree crystal earrings!

Tenali Rama - तेनाली रामा - Navratri Special - Ep 57 - 27th September, 2017 - Duration: 22:07.
'The story so far..'
'Lord Achyut, brother of the King comes to the court'
'after a war.'
'As a gift to the King'
'Lord Achyut brings Bhisam Babu from Bengal.'
'Bhisam is a master of weapons and knows all about them.'
'Bhisam can further strengthen the army of Vijaynagar.'
'The King greets the guest in the court'
'and decides to arrange for 'Ramleela' act.'
'The story continues.'
I have invited the greatest 'Ramleela' troupe of the nation
for this year.
And this year's celebration will be grand, monumental
and something that is never done before.
And this year, we will create a huge effigy of Ravan to burn.
My Lord, I have a request.
That you should burn the effigy this time.
Yes.
This will be a symbolic act
as the Lord of Vijaynagar is against evil and malice.
And that will make the people feel at ease.
I like that, my Queen.
My Lord, I have just received word
that due to floods, 'Ramleela' troupe cannot come here
and hence they will not be able to perform for you.
This is indeed a great trouble. - Yes, my Lord.
Now how will we arrange for the 'Ramleela' play?
The invitations have been sent.
My Lord. - Yes, Ramakrishna, speak forth.
Please do not be worried. We will have the 'Ramleela'.
How is that possible, Ramakrishna?
We all will enact the play.
Along with us, there will be the people of this court.
Ramakrishna, that is indeed a great thought.
My Lord, I agree with Ramakrishna.
So, how will we make it work, Ramakrishna?
Who should be given the charge of getting this done?
My Lord..
Only the person who knows the 'Ramayana' well
can be the one suited to direct this play of 'Ramleela'.
And also skilled in acting. - What? - What?
Yes.
Acharya, I see no one else in the court
well suited for this task, other than you.
I would like to ask you.
Would you kindly accept this responsibility?
Certainly.
I gladly accept this duty.
There will be such an act
that has never been seen before.
Great!
Splendid!
Hail Lord Krishnadevaraya! - Hail!
Hail Lord Krishnadevaraya! - Hail!
'What are you doing here, Rama?'
'Have you forgotten the way back home?'
I am here to uphold my word.
I had promised mother that if I step out
I will take ten dives in the river.
'Rightly said, but keep your head out.'
'The water is cold and I do not wish to get wet.'
Come on!
Hail Mother Kali!
Hail Mother Kali!
Hail Mother Kali!
Let the 'Ramleela' happen
and it will be the final event of Krishnadevaraya's life.
He will die before Ravan's effigy is burnt.
Ravan and Krishnadevaraya will both perish.
'It will be the final event of Krishnadevaraya's life.'
'Ravan and Krishnadevaraya will both perish.'
What happened, Mother-in-law?
You both conspired with Rama
and lured me using 'Laddus' and thus helped him get out.
Now you are acting all nice.
He will be back. He will be coming home.
Pick it up.
Rama will be here. It is time.
Pick up your stick.
Let him come. I will break his bones.
Let him come.
He will come. Do not worry.
Who are you waiting for?
Rama! - Rama!
Now tell me, do you want a beating
or some other punishment?
No, I am simply conveying. She is the one saying it.
What did I do wrong?
You broke the promise. You will be punished.
I did not break any promise.
I have taken dives in the cold river water.
And I took ten..
'Let the 'Ramleela' happen'
'and it will be the final event of Krishnadevaraya's life.'
Your robes are drenched.
Go and change.
What happened? Why are you so worried?
'Do not be a fool, Rama.'
'If you tell them about the peril over the king'
'then your mother will think that the dream will come true.'
'Then they will all keep you tied in a room'
'and hold you captive.'
No! - What is it?
Your tooth hurts?
It seems that he has taken a vow of silence!
Dear Mother Kali!
I already suffered because of his mother
and now my life will be over conveying their words!
No need to worry. You are so skilled at this.
You convey what mother says so well.
It is true. But why did you take such a vow?
He did not take a vow. He is speaking again.
Yes. So now tell me, why did you shout like that?
It is..
There will be a 'Ramleela' in the palace.
Pick it up. - What should I pick up?
A good character.
I think that you should enact Lord Ram.
You will look so beautiful in that attire.
Acharya Tathacharya will direct the act.
Hence I am worried.
I do not know what role he will assign to whom.
Everyone wishes to play a part.
Everyone?
The devotee of Lord Shiva.
The master of all four Vedas.
He is here to create a new 'Ramleela'.
The greatest of priests and wisest of all.
Here comes the director
of this act, Tathacharya.
There is no one here.
Who were you telling of my achievements?
Master, it was for you.
We were doing our duty as you commanded.
Please come, Master. Please be seated.
Please come. - Come.
Please come. - Come.
Step back. Move.
This old man looks more of a fool than the master.
He looks like an owl on a tree. - What did you say?
We were wondering what role we will get to play.
You fools are thinking of a role?
It is not something you can do.
It is not curd and rice that you easily eat. Idiots!
Master, we are your disciples.
We have done a lot for you.
We worked like dogs. - We worked like donkeys.
We worked like owls. - We worked like scorpions.
We have acted a lot trying to prove you good
in front of your wife and Lady Saudamini.
Enough. Enough, my dear disciples.
You will be grateful to me forever.
I have chosen great roles for you to play.
The great army of apes that laid a siege to Lanka
to fight Ravan.
You will be the last two apes of that great army
under the command of Lord Ram.
Are you happy now?
You should be happy and seek my blessings.
Please do not do so, Master. - Please.
Please do not do this.
Who is the master? I am the Master.
I get to make the decisions.
It is done.
Step back.
Lady Saudamini.
She has become a hermit.
I suggest you should do the same.
The Kingdom will prosper.
Master, she is here to see you for the last time.
Fools! What are you saying? I am not going to die!
I mean to say
that she will be seeing you for the last time.
What have you done, Lady Saudamini?
A flower is leaving its fragrance?
A river is leaving the water?
It seems like the very soul is leaving the body.
Why are you doing this, Saudamini?
You are leaving me..
I mean to say that you are leaving all of us
and becoming a hermit, why?
I am not becoming a hermit.
I am here to play the role of Sita.
Splendid. Great.
Splendid!
I was hoping to give you the role of Surpnakha.
I will play the role of Sita.
I will play Lady Sita only.
Greetings, Acharya. - Greetings, Acharya.
Greetings. Greetings.
Acharya, what role do you find appropriate for me?
You will be playing King Dashrath.
What have you done, Master?
You gave him such a crucial role!
Fool! His character dies in the beginning of the play.
He sides with Rama.
Acharya, what about me?
You will play the role that is close to your persona.
Understood? You did not?
I will explain.
These two will be the last two monkeys of the ape army
and you will be standing right behind them.
Thank you, Acharya.
No character is big or small.
This is 'Ramleela'.
Lord Ram gave the credit of his victory to all.
It is a matter of great fortune to be a monkey in his army
devoted to Lord Ram.
Mother, Sharda, Gundappa!
What are you all doing here?
Even we wish to be a part of the 'Ramleela'.
Mother, your act back at home is enough.
No need for anymore.
Being a part of 'Ramleela' brings divine blessings.
Even we have every right to be a part of it.
Even we will be taking part in this.
This is not a show limited to a small town.
This will be a great event
that will take place in front of Lord Krishnadevaraya.
There is no character for people like you.
Even I wish to play a part!
What! You may play away.
I want to act! Please!
What do you mean? Leave!
Go now! - I want to act!
Let me go, child! - Please!
I will fall! - I want a role!
What are you doing? You idiots! Help me!
I want to act.. - Let go of me!
I want a role!
Get him away! Move him!
He is not moving! He is still like Angad!
Angad! - He is not moving!
Dear, I will let you play the role of Angad.
Angad! - Let me go!
I will play Angad!
Gundappa, you are now playing Angad.
Now study your lines well and stay still.
What is mother doing? - She is dancing.
I can see that well. But why is she doing so?
Mother.. - What does she want?
She too wishes for a role, and hence she is dancing
to her skills.
There is no role for you in this act.
You are old. You cannot play the role of a monkey soldier.
A monkey!
Leave, and look after your house.
Please leave!
Mother! Mother!
Calm down!
Patience, Lady! Patience!
How will you act? You do not speak!
Shabri.
You will play the role of Shabri.
You get to play the role of Shabri.
You will not have to say anything.
Please take her away
and bring her on the day of the act. Go.
Okay. - What about me? - Go.
The roles have been assigned.
You may come as a spectator. Please leave.
Yes. Come on now. Move. Gundappa, leave!
Rama, please have your mother under control.
Acharya, she was calm.
You have not yet seen her in her fury.
If this is what you call calm, what does she do in rage?
Leave all that, Acharya.
Tell me, who will be playing Lord Ram?
If she is playing Lady Sita
who would be playing Lord Ram?
That is what the minister is asking.
Who will be playing the role of Lord Ram?
Who is the most popular here?
Who has the greatest of all personalities?
Who is the one that is all wise?
You may tell us, Acharya. - Yes, please tell us.
It is me.
I will be the one who plays Lord Ram!
Master, this is no comic role.
Who is the director? I am the director.
I will be the one who makes the decisions here.
It has been decided.
I will play the role of Lord Ram.
Then I will play the role of Lady Sita.
Am I right, my Lord?
Please accept my greetings.
You are worthy of this role, Lady.
The mightiest, the wisest, the bravest of all!
Lord Krishnadevaraya is arriving with his queens!
'Why are you so worried, Rama?'
I am thinking of who the enemy of the King could be.
How would they strike at the Lord?
'You are being worried for nothing.'
'It is not possible for anyone to attack the King.'
'No fool would dare attack the king in his own palace.'
'Just enjoy the event.'
So, tell me, Acharya.
How are the preparations going on?
My Lord, there is an argument over who gets to play Lady Sita.
Argument?
There is no problem in this.
Who is playing the role of Lord Ram?
Please tell him, Acharya.
It is me.
You? - I mean..
I am the one who is in charge.
So, I will be the one to decide.
Acharya, please do not talk in riddles.
Tell me, who is the one
playing Lord Ram?
Please tell him. - It is you, Sire.
There cannot be a better man than you.
Truly said.
Splendid, Sire. Splendid!
If you act as Lord Ram
then who amongst your wives will play Lady Sita?
There we have the trouble.
Minister, you have asked a terrible question
at a very bad time.
Minister. - Yes, Sire.
You had to ask this now?
You did the same with the crown jewel.
Am I an enemy to you? - No, Sire. Forgive me.
It is too late now. The damage is done.
Look at the queens.
It will be best if a beautiful, calm and serious woman like me
gets to play the role of Lady Sita.
My mother says that I am worthy of playing Lady Sita.
I was born for this.
Splendid! Splendid!
So, the Acharya will say
who gets to play the role.
Please, Acharya, kindly tell us.
You want me to answer? - Yes.
Who is the director? - It is me.
Who gets to decide? - I..
But not now.
The King is present now
and I cannot make a decision in his presence.
The King will decide.
No, Acharya.
How can I decide in your presence?
You have to tell me
who gets to play the role of Lady Sita.
My Lord, I think..
Here we have our Laxman.
Please come.
Laxman?
Acharya, you seem to forget.
My name is Achyut. - That is your name in life
but for my act, you will be Laxman.
The younger brother of Lord Ram.
So be it. If my brother gets to play Lord Ram
I will gladly pray the role of Laxman.
Great!
Prince Achyut, what brings you here?
Brother, Bhisam has designed great weapons.
He wishes to demonstrate those weapons.
Certainly, I would like to see right away.
'Demonstration of weapons amidst a 'Ramleela' '
'and a threat to King's life.'
'This cannot just be a co-incidence.'
