What was your favorite moment when you knew something that other people didn't and you basically called it right from the get-go before it was revealed or happened?

I'll start.

So, during DanTDM's first tour back in 2016, he would later announce that he was working on a secret project that would be revealed later on, in the coming months. It was revealed that it was something relating to the tour that he was doing at the time, the first one with Evil Dan. He showcased a few behind the scenes clips of this project on his MoreTDM channel, and it looked like he was gonna be doing some kind of video or something, because they were recording him 'interacting' with Trayaurus, which was actually just a person doing an impression of him that they would later replace with Trayaurus himself in the actual project, whatever it was. I apparently just had a revelation that day when he showcased the BTS content on his vlogging channel, so I, randomly one day, in the best but arguably still awful DanTDM impression I could muster, said: "Hey guys, Dan here! And today, I am here to announce that I have created a YouTube Red show!". Yes, I legit said 'YouTube Red show', in my best DanTDM impression I could possibly do. I thought nothing of it, since it was an impossibly stupid prediction that felt too good to be true, and there were, like, a hundred other things that this project could've possibly been. But, I settled on it and just said he was working on a 'YouTube Red show", doing an impression of Dan as if he was making an official announcement he was working on a show for the service. For those who are unaware, YouTube Red was the original name for the Premium service, and it used to have original programming funded and paid for by YouTube itself; shows like Scare PewDiePie and Paradise Calls are just two of the many examples of various Red shows. Keep in mind, I made this prediction, and impression, in December 2016, when he posted his latest vlog at the time, which would also be his last, since he has abandoned the MoreTDM channel since that last vlog, and it has been unused for almost 9 years now. Fast forward to March 30th, 2017, 3 months later. He posts a new video to his main DanTDM channel, and guess what it is? He officially announces that he is releasing "DanTDM Creates a Big Scene"... a YouTube Red Original. Yep, he was, in fact, working on a YouTube Red show the entire time and I just so happened to accurately predict this without even knowing that it was an original show for YouTube Red or what it was even for in the first place. I still don't know how I was able to predict this so accurately and correctly, but I apparently called it.

The best part of that is Inigo's revenge on Count Rugen. It was the absolute perfect revenge. He literally dealt out every wound Rugen ever dealt him. A stab to both his left and right arm, a cut on his left and right cheek, and finally a stab to the gut. This, along with him getting stronger every time he repeated his mantra, makes it one of the greatest moments in all of cinema.

For the LOVE OF FUCKING GOD, give us a FUCKING NATIONAL REGISTRY to halt data broker abuse!

Shit like this is gonna happen when data brokers collect and ALL of your personal info WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.

There should be a national registry that PROHIBITS data brokers from collecting our personal info.

We already have a National Do Not Call Registry that makes it so we cannot receive calls from robocallers and telemarketers, and there should be an opt-out system that makes it so data brokers CANNOT under ANY circumstances collect any info about us that can reveal our real identities. This is already a system that everyone in California is gonna get by 2026. That is NOT good enough! Expand it to the ENTIRETY of the United States and make it so everyone can opt-out!

This is gonna continue unless data broker abuse is stopped. https://www.donotdox.com/

They made Donkey a stallion and made him white, and during the episode of 'KNIGHTS' showcasing the chase with Shrek, Donkey, Puss in Boots, and the others, they call Donkey a 'white bronco' on the police radio while the chase unfolds.

I can't believe I never noticed this detail until now. Now I'll never unsee it.

What is that one single video from Dunkey do you just bust a gut at every single time you watch it, no matter when you do? It's gotta be one of his videos that you find the absolute funniest, the one that you always end up laughing at, whether it be due to its absurd nature, Dunkey's silly commentary, or something else entirely that makes you lose all composure and find absolutely hysterical.

My pick? It's this one video from Dunkey, Japan World Cup. In this one video, he is showcasing a huge collection of horse derby racing animations that are part of much bigger DVD box sets (that are purchasable), where there are several different kinds of horses, animals, and etc., with the animations being silly and often involving hilarity, like a horse riding in a car, a rocket-powered horse, a Trojan horse breaking, and other hilarious types of situations. The animations alone are funny and silly enough on their own, but Dunkey's funny and outright hilarious commentary on the animations passing them off as real derby races and freaking out over different scenarios, the funny and humorous sound effects edited in, and everything else just makes this an absolutely hilarious and funny video.

For me: Easily Portal 2.

A deeply rich story, funny dialogue, and great puzzles that will truly make your brain think. The story is very rich and spans across several different eras of Aperture history, going as far back as the 50s. The dialogue is funny and some of the lines are the most memorable in all of gaming (like the Cave Johnson lemon rant). And last but not least, the puzzles are great. They start off pretty simple, but as you progress further in the story, they get more and more complicated, especially when you get the repulsion gel and proposion gel. I feel like Portal 2 is the Gold Standard for puzzle games that every game that comes after it will be judged on.

Also, if you don't own Portal 2 yet, now is a fantastic time to get it - it's on sale for $1 on Steam, same with Portal 1. And if you want both games, the bundle containing both games is $1.50. Do not miss out on this offer, it's so worth it.

To me, nothing will EVER top the magic of Smokey and the Bandit.

Literally one of Hal Needham's and Burt Reynolds's greatest works to date. The plot is very simple: The Bandit accepts a challenge set by Big and Little Enos, which is to travel down to Texarkana, TX to illegally bootleg 400 cases of Coors, and deliver them back to Atlanta, GA, all within a 28 hour time limit. This film's plot actually makes a lot of sense when you think about US laws of the time. Bootlegging laws were much more stricter back then, especially in Texas. Taking beer east of Texas was considered as bootlegging, and it would have severe consequences for anyone who was caught doing it. So, this film's plot is actually based off of the real US laws of the late 70s. It only adds to the authenticity. Laws since then have gotten much more leniant, but they are still made to keep people in check from time to time. It's almost interesting to see the changes from the late 70s to now. It was like a completely different world entirely, and that authenticity only made the film more special, since we got to see the relics of a by-gone era of the United States. I mean, just look at the set comparisons on YouTube. It's like it became a whole different world overnight.

Then, you also have the AMAZING and WONDERFUL country soundtrack composed by the one and only Jerry Reed. He actually stated himself that the film, originally, did not have a music score when he was pulled in as the composer, and the film was nearly ready to be released. So, within a short time span, Jerry Reed composed an entire film soundtrack in such a short timespan, and gave us one of the most legendary pieces of country music in the form of "Eastbound and Down". But that's not it. Jerry would also make "Westbound and Down" as well, which would prove to be quintessential to the film's plot. You see, in the film, when they are heading down to Texas to get the beer, they are going westbound, and you hear "Westbound and Down" playing as a result. This is during the very beginning of the journey. And when they are on the freeway passing by a truck convoy, they are heading back to Georgia, which means they're going eastbound, and that's why you hear "Eastbound and Down", which plays MUCH later into the journey. It shows which direction they are traveling across the US at that time; "Eastbound and Down" playing signals they are nearing the end of their journey, and "Westbound and Down" means the journey has just begun. All in all, that is some truly EXCELLENT soundtrack continuity. It really goes to show how much of a blast they were having making this. He did a wonderful job composing the soundtrack.

But, of course, the star of the movie, is of COURSE Jackie Gleason, who plays as Sheriff Buford T. Justice. Oh man, he was SO FUNNY in this film. In fact, most of his dialogue was completely improvised and wasn't even actually in the script. The things he said during the movie? That was all him doing that on the fly, off the top of his head. His improv in this film was truly off the charts. He made that movie very special. In fact, you know that entire scene where Buford T. Justice and The Bandit run into a restaurant and have a nice, friendly chat, all the while Buford doesn't even realize he's talking to the very person he is after? Guess what? That was Jackie's idea. That entire scene wasn't even supposed to be in the movie. He came up with the idea himself, and as such, it was added to the film on Jackie's request and he made that scene entirely his own. Well, lemme tell ya, that scene became one of the most important scenes of the film, and quite frankly, one of the funniest as well. If it weren't for Jackie Gleason with his incredible improv, this film would have just been a mediocre 'modern-day Western'. But, Jackie's funny dialogue made the movie, he quite literally stole the show. His incredible talent in this film will never be matched. Ever. His improv was literally incredible. God, I miss him and his energy...

This is an absolute must-watch for any car/truck lover. You will absolutely love this film and have a good laugh!

For me, easily Spec Ops: The Line.

That game took an incredibly dark turn during the White Phosphorus scene. You know those top-down camera views in Call of Duty where you shoot enemies from the sky? This game does that, too. And then, boom, you find out that you just burned a refugee camp to the ground with phosphorus bombs. And this game actually forces you to walk through the travesty you just caused, and see all of the flaiming remains of soldiers screaming for help and buildings and cars burning and on fire. But, the most haunting part of that scene is the burning carcass of a woman holding her child as the white phosphorus breaches through the gate.

That image has been burned into my brain. 10/10 will not be playing again anytime soon

Concord is definitely DOA (Dead on Arrival)

I don't blame the devs for making the game, I blame the suits for not letting anything more interesting come out of the studio

My pick is Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss will forever be one of cinema's greatest opening themes. And combined with the opening credits of the movie with the sun rising slowly over the Earth was absolutely groundbreaking and legendary. It is truly one of the greatest opening credits sequences of all time.
