Many generations passed, before these lands were called Hyrule, its spirits sang a different song. The first people to land on these shores were the People of the Art, and thunder and lighting heralded their arrival as they rode their storm ships down the sky into the barrows and fields. The People were very skilled sorcerers and oracles, and as they wove song lines across the mythic landscape it was said The Art must have been part of the very fabric of their being. And when they spoke, their voices and those of the spirits were one. The People were ruled by a well loved and well respected Shaman Queen, who was unmatched in beauty as she was in spiritual power. The Queen ruled from her palace in the hills. She was very wise, consorting and allying with the Wolves and the Birds, whose language she could speak as fluently as her own and with whom she discussed the Mysteries of the Universe. The Queen rarely interacted with her subjects directly, but took questions and answers relayed through a male attendant and companion. Though she was rarely seen. Phil Sandifer. 4 days, 1. MIZUMONO Dessert. Unlike savoureux, mizumono is in fact sweet, suggesting that the show has allied itself with Hannibals perspective as opposed to Wills. The shooting script called for a flash forward of Will screaming in pain from the end. Instead the episode begins with a moment of quiet ritual, with Hannibal writing out, in exquisite calligraphy, an invitation to Jack, setting their eventual confrontation as a piece of theater a staged event the shape of which is defined by formal considerations of etiquette. The opening sequence, which cuts between both Hannibal and Jack talking to Will and enjoining him to their side in the coming face off. This is in some regards an odd framing for the episode, in that Will is never really given the chance to take a side, arriving on the scene after Jack and Alanna have already been dispatched. But its such a weird and uncanny visual that one is inclined to lay the blame on the denouement for not paying off its setup than on the setup. Even more uncanny is the reaction shot to this, a split screen Will. The otherwise unmotivated reappearance of Garret Jacob Hobbs who seems at this point slightly dated in the.

Lukundoo, though originally written in 1. Weird Tales. A very appropriate place for it to first erupt. A best selling author of historical novels in his day, the writer of Lukundoo, Edward Lucas White, started out writing uncanny stories. He is largely forgotten now except for Lukundoo, the finest of those uncanny stories, and a classic of Weird fiction. And even Lukundoo increasingly fades from our cultural memory. It was once a frequently anthologised tale, and thus widely read. But the ghost story anthologies which kept it alive once a crucial rite in the childhoods and youths of many people have long been in decline. It will be a shame if Lukundoo vanished into the interior. It needs to be resurrected and theorised in the same way that many of Lovecrafts tales have been. It stands the comparison. But it should also be better known by the general reader. It is a very good myth to think with. Remember how I had a podcast All joking aside, Im really, really proud of this one. Please join me in extending a very warm welcome to the wonderful Bob from Retro. RGB. Bob has done tireless work gathering information on how to preserve every aspect of classic video games Not just the systems and the games themselves, but the whole experience of retro gaming. From the best way to hook up your old consoles to a modern flatscreen digital HD TV to the best way to track down and safeguard a CRT to build your own personal arcade, Bobs website Retro. RGB is a wellspring of everything youd ever want to know about the technical side of video game history and preservation. Over the course of an hour and a half, Bob and I share our thoughts on the retro lifestyle, some of our favourite video game memories and talk about what keeps us coming back to the old classics and retro aesthetics year after year.

WILL GRAHAM Can you explain my actions Posit my intentions What would be your theory of my mindHANNIBAL I have an understanding of your state of mind. You understand mine. Were just alike. This gives you the capacity to deceive me, and be deceived by me. WILL GRAHAM Im not deceiving you, Dr. Lecter. Im just pointing out the snare around your neck. What you do about it is entirely up to you. Dogs have loved us for thousands of years, despite humanitys many flaws and foibles. New research suggests dogs were domesticated from wolves just oncethats. HANNIBAL You put the snare around my neck. This is going appreciably differently from Will and Hannibals previous efforts to get people to murder the other for them. Hannibals first line is the closest thing to an explanation at this point they are so enmeshed in one anothers psyches that trying to kill each other is, as Steven Moffat would put it, their flirting. Will, however, misses the real takeaway, which is Hannibals note that he has the capacity to deceive him. Spoilers this is going to go badly for Will. Admittedly that spoiler is basically just always true. HANNIBAL Why did you tell Mason. Josh Marsfelder. 2 weeks, 3 days ago. While out walking, Garfield comes across a hill. Theres a sign planted next to the hill, indicating that Paradise can be found at the top. This hill is different from the ones we normally see in Garfield rounded moguls upon which the cat will lay back and look up at the clouds on a warm summer day. The prominence appears quite challenging even for a seasoned climber, which is probably part of the reason Garfield has the reaction he does upon seeing it. The general design indicates less a typical Garfield hill and more a location that showed up in the strip a few times in the earlier part of the decade A jagged, rocky mountain whose summit we cannot see from the vantage point of the strip, but upon which dwells a Wise Man whom Jon tells us has a long beard and says grand things about life. To further the continuity link, one Wise Man strip features a sign that literally says Wise Man partway up the mountain, a kind of spiritual road sign or mile marker, with an arrow helpfully pointing to the summit, much as the sign for Paradise does here. We can read the. Phil Sandifer. 2 weeks, 4 days ago. K NO MONO An assortment of pickled vegetables. Janice Poon suggests that this signals the approaching denouement, and also makes a nice metaphor about the vegetables sharpening the senses, which is what Alanna needs. The reality is that the second season is not so much going off the rails as plummeting down the gorge, watching mournfully as the rails disappear into the sky. The script calls this the Wildigo, which is the best part of the entire conceit. That a silly portmanteau is the best part speaks to the intense and pointless violence being done to the shows narrative principles here. K No Mono is primarily structured around a cheap and theatrical bit of audience deception, maintaining the illusion that Will killed Freddie. This is already cheap a way to manufacture drama out of structure when you obviously dont have it in your actual character work. This is a common way for formally inventive storytelling to run aground when the formal complexity becomes a way of making a story work in the first place instead of working better. Mostly Hannibal avoids it, not least because its got the core of the Harris books, which clearly and demonstrably do work dramatically. Josh Marsfelder. 3 weeks, 3 days ago. Last one of these for a little bit, but only because I need to record another session and get back up to where I left off because I lost this save file. Thinking of doing some other videos in the meantime though I was gonna do one on Raiders of the Broken Planet and Metroid, but I found myself far less inspired by that game than I was hoping I would be. I could do Quake Champions, but that would just be me getting humiliated and curb fragged over and over again.
