Though I couldn't stay up for "Creature Features", I believe I know the secret identity

I think I have this as an autographed picture. Bob Wilkins was an important part of my childhood. Less for his more famous creation of "Creature Features", but more his afterschool mainlining a steady stream of tokusatsu giant monsters and superheroes in glorious video action to me like " Space Giants ", " Spectreman ", " Ultraman " or anime like " Star Blazers " dressed as "Capt. Cosmic!" I think he even came to my elementary school. I remember everyone asking if he was "Capt. Cosmic" and he would say "I don't know what you are talking about." So patient he must have been!! Below are two documentaries about Bob Wilkins / John Stanley and the legacy of their work. "Watch Horror!

A Free-as-in-Beer labor-of-love history of CRPG (Computer Role Playing Games)

My "gateway" drug For those of you who grew up during the inception of Computer Role Playing Games, this book is for you! Across its 528 pages you’ll find information about over 400 RPGs, from the early PLATO games to modern AAA releases, as well as hidden gems, curiosities and even fan-translations.

At one point or another, I have been at a loss of words to say to someone who is suffering. Not that this is an end-all-be-all in that etiquette, I thought this article ( link ) was a good start. Some highlights... First, the Nevers. 1. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP? Most patients I know grow to hate this ubiquitous, if heartfelt question because it puts the burden back on them. As Doug Ulman, the chief executive of Livestrong and a three-time cancer survivor, explained: “The patient is never going to tell you. They don’t want to feel vulnerable.” Instead, just do something for the patient. And the more mundane the better, because those are the tasks that add up. Want to be really helpful? Clean out my fridge, replace my light bulbs, unpot my dead plants, change my oil. 2. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. In my experience, some people think about you, which is nice. Others pray for you, which is equally comforting. But the majority of people who say they’re sending “thoughts and
