Always this. Monthly bills aren't a thing that should need begging for, but we've all got them! Every order's a blessing, every reskeet a boon.

NEW VIDEO!...and yes, it's E.T. The Extra Terrestrial for the Atari 2600. It's a game that's been covered a lot, but coverage of it and the crash in North America isn't always good. When it's easier than ever to make slop, it's worth doing it right. Enjoy and please share :) youtu.be/nEdAIXp2dqg

Age yourself with the first movie you saw in the theatre
Although Jesus, given how long ago this was it would probably have been more appropriate to use the clip of the guy who ages to dust after choosing poorly as that's how I feel now!

Researchers have extracted ancient proteins from australopithecine fossils and determined whether they were male or female — a first for human evolution studies.
