District 12
Sardonyx Kensington (Game 101) arrived in District 12, eying the youths who had been amongst the 140 selected for less chaos at the reapings. Ten males and ten females of each age would attend alongside their families.
Sardonyx made a speech about how amazing it was to be a victor, before reaching into the male bowl. She selected the name of eighteen year old Euthanasia Chandler. Loud cursing was heard as a tall blonde girl with blue eyes walked to the stage and shook Sardonyx’s hand.
Euthanasia lived in the wealthy city of District 12, called Medica, with her parents and three older brothers. She was training to become a doctor.
Sardonyx reached into the male bowl, selecting the name of seventeen year old Jericho Clade. A boy with olive skin, black hair, and gray eyes walked to the stage, and the cries of his family were heard from the crowd. Jericho shook Sardonyx’s hand, a nervous smile on his face.
Jericho was one of seven siblings born to a poor Seam/Coal City family. After the age restrictions for coal mining had been gotten rid of after Game 75, many youths ten and up had begun work in the mines, including Jericho and several of his siblings.
Euthanasia visited with her parents and three older brothers. Euthanasia showed no tears, instead promising to make District 12 proud.
Meanwhile Jericho visited with his parents and six siblings, who were upset to lose him. Jericho swore that he would win for them, and “bathe the family in riches”.
On the train, Rue Mellark (Game 90) and Gale Hawthorne greeted the two tributes. Rue was shocked that Euthanasia has training with a bow and arrow after legally hunting in the woods behind District 12. Jericho also had decent skills with a pickaxe, which Gale helped him get better at.
After a large dinner, which Euthanasia enjoyed and Jericho gorged himself on, Euthanasia offered an alliance to Jericho. The boy looked up in shock, never expecting to ally with someone from the upper class, but quickly agreed to the alliance.
At Snow Station the next day, Euthanasia and Jericho showed a united front, and were quite popular with the Capitol.
At the apartment, Euthanasia and Jericho met their stylist, Principia Crane, who dressed the two in doctor and nurse uniforms. It was obvious they wouldn’t win wearing these, but it was Principia’s first year as a stylist, so she did decent considering that.
Rue turned on the television to show District 2’s reaping Games, explaining that 2 was the strongest District, but not the smartest.
District 2
Sardonyx seemed excited to watch District 2’s reaping Games before heading back to District 1 for the final reaping. Eighteen females and twenty one males volunteered, ready to do their best for their District.
Katarina Brax showed off strong skills in the mud pit, and spotted Helen Hathaway and Livia Hathaway defeating Chloe Heath. Katarina snuck up behind Helen and ripped off her bracelets. Livia roared in anger at the defeat of her younger sister, tackling Katarina to the ground and ripping off her bracelets.
Livia Hathaway had long brown hair and hazel eyes, and was eighteen years of age. She was washed, before sitting and watching, hoping that her younger brother Hero would pull off a win.
Hero Hathaway defeated Quentin Marlow and Julius Bartoole, before rushing up to Hyperion Dalton and attacking him. Hyperion threw Hero to the ground, ripping off his bracelets.
Hyperion Dalton had dark skin and an afro. He was one of the sons of Rubius Dalton (Game 86). Hyperion was also cleaned, before being taken to visit with family.
Livia visited with her parents and twin younger siblings, Helen and Hero. She promised to make them proud, and was congratulated by her family, before heading off to the train,
Hyperion visited with his mother, Bonnie, father Rubius, older brother, and younger sisters. Hyperion promised to uphold the Dalton legacy, before leaving with his father to the train.
Selena Brax (Game 99) greeted Livia and brought her over to a table with numerous weapons. Livia seemed to like the spear the most, and picked it up, throwing it at targets on the wall.
Meanwhile Rubius worked with Hyperion on his sword skills, telling his son how proud of him he was.
At Snow Station two hours later, Livia signed autographs and posed for photos, while Hyperion showed his strength by lifting multiple young ladies into air.
At the apartment, Panorama Vickers got started getting parade outfits ready for Livia and Hyperion. She designed golden armor, with golden wings that would come out at the push of a button.
Rubius showed Livia and Hyperion the other reapings, with silence from Hyperion when Euthanasia was shown. He appeared to be smitten with her beauty, which no one else seemed to notice.
Parade
At the parade, Jericho chatted with Pinette (7) who was thirteen, while Livia and Hyperion added an alliance with Citrine and Larimar (both 1). Hyperion left to speak to Euthanasia, complimenting her on her beauty.
Euthanasia responded by calling Hyperion handsome, but they were interrupted by the chariot call. Euthanasia laughed as Hyperion hurried back to his carriage.
As Livia and Hyperion moved down the Avenue of Tributes, they received loud applause when their wings came out of their outfits. Euthanasia and Jericho smiled and waved, throwing small black rocks to the excited Capitolites.
That night at the apartment, it was between Livia and Hyperion and Flora and Parsnip (both 11). Ultimately the golden wings won over the green arboreal outfits, and Livia and Hyperion had money sent home to their families.
Training
At training, Livia and Hyperion worked with a spear and a sword until Citrine and Larimar entered the room. Hyperion smiled at Euthanasia when she entered the room. He secretly watched her work with a bow and arrows, before Jericho glared over at him.
Hyperion quickly focused back on his sword technique, and was soon joined by Larimar. Both young men worked together on sword skills, while Livia chatted with Citrine about what life was like in District 1.
Livia seemed quite curious to learn all about the training academy, while Citrine was curious about Livia and her two siblings all volunteering.
Livia saw Vala and Cyber (both 3) working at the electronics station, and Meryl and Frigate (both 4) swimming in the pool. Livia made fun of how small Ever (5) was at 4 foot 6, and Citrine commented that Ever was the youngest tribute and was protected by Neutron (5).
Hyperion watched Clarinda and Pocatello (both 6) paint themselves in the camouflage station, while Pinetta (7) was being watched by Hollis (7) who was a friend of her family. Larimar commented that Palette and Kohl (both 8) seemed weak, but Hyperion still had his eye on Euthanasia.
Euthanasia and Jericho worked with a bow and arrow and a pickax, meeting back up to meet in the medical station. Euthanasia seemed shocked by District 9’s two disabled tributes, with Pecania being on crutches and Curry being blind.
Euthanasia noted Darleen was also on crutches, while Robert had a photo of his wife and two children. Jericho worked with Flora and Parsnip in the botany and toxicology station, with Euthanasia soon joining them.
Amie and Camilo (both 14) seemed nervous and shy, and were surprisingly ignored by the other tributes.
Training ended within a few hours, and the tributes were taken to a waiting room to await being assessed.
Assessments
Livia was third to go after Citrine and Larimar, showing off strong skills with a spear. Hyperion managed well wielding double swords.
Many other tributes also did well, with the best displays probably being Vala and Cyber (both 3), Meryl and Frigate (both 4, Neutron (5), Pocatello (6), Hollis (7), and Robert (10).
Euthanasia showed off a strong display with a bow and arrows, while Jericho had greatly improved skills with a pickaxe. After the poor displays of Amie and Camilo (both 14) the assessors started to compare their scores.
Score Reveal
That night at 8:30 PM, Ennius Dalton came on the screen to show of the scores.
It works like so
District/Gender-Name (Score)
1F-Citrine B. (9)
1M-Larimar M- (9)
2F-Livia Hathaway (10)
2M-Hyperion Dalton (11)

12M-Euthanasia Chandler (9)
12M-Jericho Clade (6)
14F-Amie F. (3)
14M-Camilo L. (5)
Livia and Hyperion celebrated their high scores, while Euthanasia seemed nervous and excited about her 9, with Rue being very happy with her tribute. Gale was also happy with Jericho, as a 6 was pretty good for a tribute from 12.
Interviews
Euphemia Demigloss wore a scarlet dress and had her hair dyed scarlet as well. Euphemia welcomed the Capitol to the 102nd Interviews.
After the fast paced interviews of Citrine and Larimar, Livia was welcomed onto the stage. She wore a beautiful golden dress, and wore a beautiful golden head piece atop her head. Her brunette hair was curled into an elegant bun at the back of her head.
Livia was confident, managing to keep her confidence in check. She even came off as a bit smarter than most other District 2 tributes. She said that she looked forward to winning with strength and intelligence.
Hyperion wore a gold suit and golden wreath on his head. He remaining confident but not cocky, and alluded to his crush on another tribute, but refused to answer any further, much to Euphemia’s shock.
After the interviews for Districts 3 to 11, many of which were interesting while some were boring, it was time for Euthanasia. She was dressed in a light teal dress that looked pretty with her blue eyes, and her blonde hair was curled into ringlets.
Euthanasia was politely, admitting that she had a crush on a male tribute. Euthanasia also spoke of her archery prowess, and admitted to being a descendent of Primrose Everdeen, sister of the esteemed Katniss Everdeen.
Jericho wore a handsome dark teal suit, and his black hair was perfectly curled. He looked the healthiest he had probably ever been. Jericho expressed his happiness at being able to prove himself, and even admitted that he had a crush on Euthanasia.
After the interviews of Amie and Camilo, Game Maker Juliana Ricci was interviewed. She said that the arena was “a twist on the most common type of arena.” Many were curious about what the arena could possibly be
The Final Night
Livia and Hyperion discussed a plan for the night, before Livia headed off to bed to have a clear head the next day.
Jericho and Euthanasia talked about life back in their respective District 12 sectors. Euthanasia gave Jericho a hug and promised to see him the next day. Jericho confessed his love for Euthanasia, giving her a kiss before heading to his room.
Euthanasia headed to the roof, where she met Hyperion. She and Hyperion kissed, before staring at each other in apparent shock. Hyperion promised to keep his distance from Euthanasia in the arena “until the end” before heading off to his apartment, telling her that he “had a plan.”
Euthanasia sat on the roof and wept, knowing she could only win with one of her lovers. She really did love them both. When she arrived back at the apartment, Rue comforted her on the balcony as Euthanasia silently cried.
Hyperion knocked on District 1’s apartment door, and was greeted by Mirai Kobayashi (Game 94). Hyperion confessed his love for Citrine, and promised to carry her to the end with. Citrine excitedly told Mirai, who commented that it could be a double career win.
Hyperion admitted to Citrine that Livia “had an unreciprocated crush” on him, and said that they would have to “get rid of Livia at some point.” He then left the apartment.
Hyperion walked into Livia’s room, and also confessed his love for her. She reciprocated, and he informed her that Citrine seemed to have a crush on him as well. She told him she would get rid of Citrine “when the time came.”
Jericho sat in his room, reading a book about the 74th Hunger Games. He then watched those Games, telling Gale that “District 12 was about yo have another pair of Star Crossed Lovers.”
Hovercraft and Launch Rooms
The next morning, the tributes were fed a large meal before being taken to the Hovercraft. Euthanasia held Jericho’s hand, while Hyperion sent Citrine and Livia loving looks, before winking at Euthanasia, who nodded back.
At the arena, the tributes were taken down to their launch rooms and for a final meeting with their mentors. They were given black lycra suits with backpacks of their district color. They were dressed in black socks and boots and finally given a camouflage jacket.
Livia visited with Selena, commenting that she couldn’t wait to win with Hyperion. Selena seemed worried, but realized that Livia was lovesick and that nothing she could say would change Livia’s mind.
Hyperion commented to his father Rubius that he only loved one of the three girls, and refused to tell his father which one, promising he would see in the arena. Hyperion also told his father that he had a “golden plan.”
Euthanasia visited with Rue, who told her to be with the man that her heart told her to follow, and told her tribute not to forgot herself, and to put herself first if she had to.
Gale visited Jericho, telling the boy to take care of himself, and promised to take care of Jericho’s family back home, which he and the rest of the mentors from 1 to 14 “always did.”
The tubes rose up into the arena, and the mentors were taken beneath the game maker’s area to the mentor’s apartment.

Part 1. It was the end of winter and i was playing on my play station. But since i was bored i went on discord to talk with people on different servers. But then as soon as clicking the icon. I was logged out of my account for no apparent reason. I tried logging back in but it wasnt possible. The next day on whatsapp, one of my trusted friends to this day sent a screenshot about my account apparently sending a p0rn link to every gc. 3 people saw it and i started saying that it wasnt me but the were never convinced and started calling me a liar. So then i removed them out of my gc which he send the screenshot in. But then in another gc where it was bigger then mine. He sent it and 23 people saw it. Including the smart one which i will talk about later. They started spreading lies about me to attract more people. But then that when i wanted to do the right thing which was leave the gc. But that just made it worse. My 2nd account was still in the gc and then i saw them leaking my face to 50 members in the gc. Which was the climax of me actually wanting to kill myself. They begged me not to but i knew they didnt care if i lived. I counted down from 60 to 0 without hesitation. My trusted friend started crying knowing if i would actually do it. And the smart friend started saying ”im considerate and would get over it without hesitation” that was a blatant lie considering that im capable of doing anything. The last few seonds were up to 10. The final blow “10, 9, 8” people were hoping that i wouldnt do it “7, 6, 5” my trusted friend apoligising for everything hes done to me. “4, 3, 2” the gc went silent. When i got to 1… i start thinking about the things they did to me. Horrible things. Then it it just came up to me… is my spirit broken? No, i still had juice left but i decided to save that for another day. I then said 0 and left the gc. I went to bed since it was 1 am in the morning. But being a grown person, i started crying for the first time in 5 years. The amount of guilt and pain i felt in every way was miserable. Im not the type of person to cry because i was the chill person in a friend group i no longer interact with. But now i really really felt strong for too long. Next day i woke up and looked in a wall questioning why do i have the worst name and why am i existing in this life. Its one that’s difficult to get over cause then i started crying again. The whole day i was emotionless like my soul was taken away from me. i didnt enjoy that day. And so was the other day. I was completely juiced out. My spirit as depleted from me and i could no longer comprehend whether i should interact with people anymore. My parents and caretakers were concerned. Part 2 Later.

Driving my nuts, for months
My daughter was playing with my husbands iphone and randomly typed in gibberish into the search bar on the front screen.
Came up in the search section (the one on the front screen) with a “maybe: Diana Black” contact and what looked like a message that said “you truly are the one for me”
Could this be anything else than what I don’t want to suspect? I questioned him twice with vehement denials - I chose to believe him. Should I question it further? I’ve searched everywhere for her name (it’s different to the one above) but finding nothing, and annoyingly the same name as a crappy actress so that doesn’t help.
Thanks in advance

Hey there,
I've been thinking about finding a new hobby, something that'll get me off the couch and away from my gaming console. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good gaming session, but my friends are starting to think I'm a professional gamer or something.
Anyway, I've been trying out this thing called climbing and it's been a real adventure! I mean, who knew trying to not fall off a wall could be so exhilarating? My friends think I'm crazy, but hey, at least I'm getting some exercise.
I'm 31 years old, male, living in Europe (the best place in the world). When I'm not climbing or gaming, you can find me watching TV shows or movies - I'm a bit of a sci-fi and fantasy nerd. I love binge-watching entire seasons in one go (no shame).
Music-wise, I'm all about that indie rock and alternative vibe. Arctic Monkeys and The 1975 are my go-to artists right now.
As for pets, I've got a cat named Max who's always trying to "help" me with my gaming sessions (read: knock over my controller). And let's just say he's not the best climbing buddy...
I'm looking for someone to chat with about life, music, and video games. No specific requirements, just someone who's willing to listen and share their own stories.
Email is my preferred way of communication for now, but hey, if we hit it off, we can always switch to other app or even letters.
Hope to hear from you!

I have tested motherboard WOL capability, and it works as expected.
When I shutdown ESX from the GUI, the system then refuses to wake up when WOL packets are sent. LAN LED lights are still lit, something in the shutdown of ESX is causing the WOL packets not to work.
Adapter looks like it is enabled for WOL/Magic Packet. I have tried the physical and virtual MAC addresses to send WOL packets to but nothing works

Ideas?

I work as a personal shopper in a grocery store and someone ordered these letters as a wall decor. KECLLPPAAAUWN.
Anyone have an idea of what they might have been trying to spell? Names or a phrase that uses all the letters.

Here we are on the day that started it all, a year ago I did a small review on the Jay and Mikey Show’s first episode: The Boys Go To War.
It wasn’t that good, and had one decent joke but after the series ended, I didn’t do a review for the rest of the summer. Then Dhar shadow announced four series’s all of which I covered along with a few more series.
My style of jokes, recapping, and serialized reviews would improve over time, I say the reviews that cemented my style were Mischief Mikey Season 1, primarily the episode where Mikey lies about a bomb to get out of a test.
But one year later, I have a video that will blow your mind out the water, Girl Finds Out She’s Adopted. This remains Dhar’s only proper feature length video and his longest by far since the Christmas film is a combination of a few other videos.
I doubt Dhar will go through the trouble and budget to make another feature film but one must digress. After a teaser a few days before, the film aired live in two parts during Dhar’s second and last Thanksgiving Special along with Carl Jude’s last video.
It had a big premiere event as well and holds the biggest cast in a Dhar Mann video. They even darkened the video so we know this is a movie.
Without further deliberation, let’s dive in. We start with a candle being lit upon a 15, a mother and father, played by Katherine Norland and Colin Borden go to wake up their kid upon their 15th birthday.
The daughter is named Sabrina and is played by professional cryer, Sofia Serna, funny how only one of those three actors I mentioned still commonly shows up in videos. Apparently these parents want to celebrate the 15th at midnight with a cake.
A bit early for celebration if you ask me, let the kid sleep. Also 16 is a way more important milestone than 15 but Sofia was 15 when this came out so let’s move on. She also shares a birthday with Elon Musk, Henry VIII, and even fucking Markiplier which I just found out when checking her age.
Her rude ass parents crash in with a birthday serenade at midnight, not like I can eat a fucking cake and sleep right after can I? She also has school making this midnight caking even dumber if she’s getting up at seven in the morning.
Mom tells Sabrina that she has something to tell her, which bad timing, I know the parents wanted to tell her on her 15th, but this is just a bad time.
You know what is about to be said but telling your kid she’s adopted at this time at night isn’t good, she isn’t going to get much sleep.
Sabrina laughs it off as the gravity sets in, the truth is clear as day despite the lack of day. She’s in tears already with only three minutes of runtime. Sofia only seems to be the crying girl, crying and being sad isn’t really enough to be a good actor, Sofia has the emotions to bring out a good performance but yelling loudly, crying, and looking sad isn’t enough.
You have to feel the emotions of the moment to truly understand the gravity of this truth bomb, she gets the sadness before a single line trips her into anger without much buildup. Is it wrong for me to hate on a child actor? No, because I am a year younger than her.
The parents refuse to let her meet her biological parents as Crying Girl dips into anger, I get not wanting to let her meet them, but telling her that parents are criminals, yeah they are big shock.
If they just told her that her bio parents were criminals and couldn’t raise her, we wouldn’t have a movie now would we? And Dad saying “We didn’t lie, we just didn’t tell you” isn’t really helping either.
She goes into packing her shit as Colin sounds pissed, Kathrine also gives a great performance which I’ll go into later. Crying Girl is all about how they don’t share blood and Dad retorts with the message that family doesn’t require blood but love.
Am I annoyed this movie reused a message Dhar had used multiple times when this came out? Yes, yes I am. Crying Girl is trying to move out with no information as Mon tries her best to kill the conflict.
Crying Girl screams for them to get out, I don’t imagine this kind of reaction to adoption reveal but this is a movie so I’ll relax on that front.
We also see that the cake eating, reveal, and shouting match took up all of 20 minutes on the dot as she slams the picture of her parents dramatically she can put it back up at the end.
She posts to her instagram that she feels alone before getting a call from her Token Black Friend played by Brianni Walker. Weird seeing her here along with Colin after both were apart the protests but hey one must see some nostalgia from this older Dhar era.
Crying Girl tells Token Black Friend that she’s already sent in a DNA despite it still being the same night and we can’t just have a movie of her waiting six weeks. Token Black suggests she search her attic for potential papers as Token Black Friend hangs up.
It’s time for some sneaking, so it’s actually time for false tension baby! How she is able to get into the loud ass freaking attic without waking her people that adopted her up is beyond me.
Mom tries to go and talk things out so the conflict is over but is stopped by Dad. I know I’ve done nothing but give Kathrine Norland shit for the past year but honestly the real reason was her characters’ writing.
She does an amazing job here as she grapples with the emotions as the middle ground of the conflict. I have more to say later so let’s head back to the attic.
With Crying Girl making a bunch of noise with an old toy, we cut to see the parents immediately asleep following that conversation we just saw second ago.
Crying Girl finally strikes gold with a folder labeled “Important Documents” and a book with a hidden compartment with some old childhood pictures reminding her of the message.
Soon she finds the old slip she’s looking for, the papers are clear as day as we cut to day. Token Black Friend is shown the birth certificates.
It appears Crying Girl has found her father only 17 minutes in, Darius Mulgannon, with a name like that can you be surprised he’s in prison? Token Black loudly yells about him being in jail which get prepared for that joke being run into the ground.
The bio mom’s name is Candy Johnson as Token Black Friend loudly yells that she’s going to jail as a teacher walks by. He’s played by Sean Harris as they pretend to be acting which he buys somehow. There was a play last week as apparently he’s trying to get another play up and running already.
Talk about short rehearsal times between shows, but Dhar knows nothing of high school theater. Crying Girl’s plan to get into said prison is simple, emotional manipulation.
She spots a prison guard with his family and he’s played by Johnnie Mack. So she goes into a crying mood again as she creates a story about visiting her dad every year and being unable as her mom is sick.
This story works perfectly so I guess this guard is newly employed. Darius is a little shocked to learn his kid is visiting as it’s clear he’s probably been around as we later learn.
Darius is played by Daniel Salas, and he’s the best character probably because he doesn’t give two shits about the plot. Crying Girl tries to get the info out of him as Darius’s first reaction is that kid’s come by to ask for money from this imprisoned guy.
Crying Girl hoped he be excited as this harden criminal was expected to be a doting father. We then learn that the bio mom used a fake name on the birth certificate to avoid law enforcement.
Why didn’t Darius use a pseudonym either as he makes it clear that this search isn’t going to end well as her birth mom didn’t want her. Asking this guy who’s been locked up for years for info is crazy but thankfully she has an older sister.
With the name Bella, she does the easy thing that one is to do in this situation, find her personal address and info online. All the while woman who adopted her tries to leave some food.
Who learn Thanksgiving is tomorrow as the timeline is really weird. So it starts at midnight on Crying Girl’s 15th birthday, that night she finds her birth certificate and the following morning she says she visiting her dad later implying that it’s the same day.
In America we often have Thanksgiving break starting in the day before Thanksgiving meaning it makes no sense why she be at school the same day she visits her dad and finds out the truth about her adoption.
We are only half way done as Crying Girl just happens upon her sister’s address. Can I get a… bullshit?
You can’t just go tip tap typing and find an address without deep diving straight into the dark web. With plenty of viruses to boot, Token Black Friend puts the idea into Crying Girl’s head that bio mom gave her up and kept her sister.
Did she forget that her mother is a harden criminal with multiple names and false identities? Why assume she has a child with her? Woman who adopted her gets her name changed in her phone as Crying Girl is doubling down on this hunt.
Token Black Friend joins in on how this doesn’t seem like a good idea as Crying Girl literally just rolls up upon this mansion with no plan or way to get in legally.
She’s stumbling over her words, over correcting, and trying to come up with a story to get the maid to let her in. She didn’t plan for this? Well I get her not knowing her sister is an adult as we meet her fiancé. He doesn’t matter.
We eventually see Sister’s Woman who adopted her, IE: Her mom. As we get a pan shot, Sister’s Mom should know about her bullshit as she actually does. Yeah, she isn’t an idiot.
Once fiancé is gone, she goes into question her. Sister’s Mom is played by regular Amanda Klein as Sister is played by newcomer Kelsey Lee Smith. To my knowledge is her only role in Dhar Mann, correct me if I’m wrong but it feels weird to see a newcomer who never shows up again to get such an important role.
Back to chewing out the child, she goes into the questioning before throwing her out without answering a question. She’s caught in the lie as Sister shows up and exposes her.
Crying Girl does what she does best and cries before revealing the familial connection, she believes Sister’s mom is her mom despite criminal record with fake names and mansion ownership not really lining up.
Fiancé is calling for her as Sister pulls her out, we learn what I mentioned earlier as Sister feels a little guilty for kicking her out.
Sister herself was adopted and really doesn’t want her fiancé to know for some reason. She’s also expecting a child by now as Crying Girl tries to mention how she’s lying to her lover but she’s a hypocrite who gets called out.
Apparently Bio Mom visited only to ask for money, and she makes it clear that it isn’t a good idea despite giving her the address. Her real name is Sasha Whitlock, and is the third person to tell her that this isn’t a good idea.
We also learn that she’s been gone from her home all day as Man who adopted her downplays how their kid is missing. I’m with Woman who adopted her on this situation, if your kid is out of the house in the middle of metropolitan California then I’d be freaking out too.
Kathrine doesn’t get enough credit for this performance, Colin does great with what he’s given but Kathrine really shows the emotions of a parent in distress. For Dhar’s most loyal actress, you think he give her better roles.
I don’t respect Kathrine as a person for siding with Dhar, but I won’t say she isn’t a great actress.
So Crying Girl visits skid row and knocks only to be asked if she has drugs. Birth Mom is played by Nerisa Tedesco who decided to play an evil bio mom before playing all those evil foster mom roles.
This typecast of Dhar’s is kinda rude, why does Nerisa play all these terrible mom roles? I guess it’s because she looks mean and a little nasty, talk about dick move.
It turns out we’ve wasted the past 40 minutes searching for this woman as she’s demeaning, rude, likes oranges, etc.
Bio mom is really stupid, guess it’s from all the drugs since she asks if this child is a cop, or if she has pills, and pronounced Target as “Tar-Je” then she just up and leaves Crying Girl alone and without a phone.
Gee I wonder what message Crying Girl realizes while alone with thoughts. We cut back to the people who adopted her as we get a classy “we can’t declare her missing because it hasn’t been 24 hours”
I swear man who adopted her is far too nonchalant for this kind of situation. Cut back to Crying Girl as her bio mom returns high, she questions Crying Girl if she ate her orange despite eating it in an earlier scene.
Bio mom shuts her down again and outright admits to giving her up for adoption. Wow Dhar, I see a message you already have shown in less than ten minutes took 50 minutes here, I’m happy to have wasted my time here.
So Crying Girl decides to get her phone back as woman who adopted her is calling. So she leaves, not before changing her name back to mom in the phone.
We cut back to home as this is kinda Dad’s fault, had he just let Mom tell her the truth about her criminal parents none of this could have happened!
This entire film could have been avoided! I’ve wasted far more than an hour here typing this damn review! Whatever, Crying girl returns to apologize and repeat the message about family not calling just for blood, it calls for SACRIFICE!
We also see Sister went through an offscreen arc about accepting your past or something and explaining how she told her fiancé about said past.
Of course he was understanding, what were you expecting? She welcomed her to visit since she told her not it come back in that earlier scene which I just skipped over.
They invite her to have some dinner with some classy hospitality, Crying Girl is happy and content so she posts a new photo to her story showing how we all went full circle.
Oh and she puts her family picture back up because it wouldn’t be a share adoption video without it.
We see Token Black Friend being happy upon seeing the story as our time together comes to an end. Or does it?
Because we get three mid credit scene based on theee off hand lines, one I mentioned and one I didn’t.
First is of Ayden Mekus visiting Darius and asking for money just to get laughed at, a lot of stupid characters in this story.
Second is bio mom getting her already eaten orange eaten by her partner because funny?
Third is Token Black at her birthday guess her presents, how her family hasn’t realized she’s been looking in the attic by now is beyond me.
Then it’s over, well I went into this with not much expectations and came out with none of them filled. Some of the acting is kinda good, but a few good or decent performances isn’t enough to save bad writing.
Not to mention very little thought went into the writing process, the plot has several opportunities to stop in its tracks so they steer clear of those smarter and more level headed options.
I get avoided revealing her bio parents didn’t want her, but just say they are criminals who couldn’t raise her. The fundamentals of the plot and the setup we are given would have to be drastically different since this film is just a longer version of the family isn’t about blood but love message.
So I must do what I always do, what is my final score to this film which has a shit title. After much thought, I have this rating, 3/10. There’s not much you can expect from a film that refuses to take the smart option and forces itself to continue.
Well that’s it, one year of celebratory reviews in a row. I’m shocked what was to be a one off has blown out into a trend. Not to mention to common use of Fart Bucket as a nickname has gotten so popular even Dhar used it in a short.
As for the road ahead, well I might take a break, I’m not quitting at all but after six straight reviews it probably be for the best to let the over saturation of reviews die down.
I want to thank you for reading these reviews for the past years and for participating in the poll. Leave your thoughts on this review and the video in the comments, and Thank you.

I first heard it a while ago, and am trying to find it again, but I'm hindered by the fact that I don't remember the name. As I recall, it was a combination of Capital City of Flowers in the Sky and Phantom Ensemble (the PCB stage 4 stage and boss themes) though I'm not quite certain on the latter (completely sure of the former, though). I remember that the start of the song had the melody at about 52 seconds into Capital City, and the only other thing of use I recall is that I believe the song's title began with the letter A (though I'm also not completely sure on that one).
I'm sorry if that's not much to go on, but it's all I can recall, and I'd really like to find the song, because I remember it being really good.

So I'm making a new level, but I still haven't decided what to name it, and naming it after the song the level uses is kinda used too much. I made a sneak peek of the level layout (here's the ID: 159164), but there were no comments. If you have any suggestions, type them out in comments here OR on that level.
Thank you.

I'm incoming freshman for pre-med, and trying to determine between CWRU or UCI (just got off waitlist).
Below are my pros and cons for each schools based on my research, would love alumni or current students to weigh in to help me make an informed decision.
CWRU
Pros:

1. Plenty volunteering/research opportunities. My assumption it will be less competitive as 4 hospitals + smaller pre-med student community.
2. No grade deflation and opportunity to build strong relationship with professors for med school recommendation letter.
3. Reputation - known for pre-med powerhouse. Also, CWRU has a medical school so I assume they might give a favorable consideration for CWRU undergraduate applicants.
4. Friendly student community - the students I met at CWRU all come across as collaborative, kind and hardworking. Not ultra-competitive or cut-throat type I met in other pre-med powerhouse.

Cons:

1. Location and weather - Ohio is far away from my home and not a fan of cold weather (from West coast).
2. Social life outside of studying - seems like students are all focusing on study, and not much social life outside. I'm not into frat or partying but love to play some sports such as tennis or soccer besides studying.
3. Marketing pitch or real - CWRU seems to have a lot more marketing than other schools so a bit worrying about whether the reputation for premed powerhouse is more about marketing than real.

UCI
Pros:

1. Location - love the weather of California and have heard Irvine is a very safe and nice neighborhood. Closer to my home too.
2. Ranking - also known for pre-med college from what I have heard. UCI overall ranking seems to be higher than CWRU, might help with my medical school application.
3. Part of UC system - assuming UCI is part of UC system, so I can leverage with other UC research opportunities or easier for me to transfer to other UC campus (e.g. UCLA or UC Berkeley)

Cons:

1. Volunteering/research opportunities - have heard it's ultra competitive for get opportunities. Also, it's hard to build strong relationship with professors for recommendation.
2. Cost - it's at least 10K more than CWRU as no merit scholarships.
3. Grade deflation - have heard many weed-out class with grade deflation, and hard to get a high GPA
4. Commuter school - most students are not living on campus - either at home and off-campus, it's a ghost town over weekend and hard to form study group.
