This is some cool stuff here with Pedro Pascal.



The heat from the wings starts to be noticeable in Pascal's voice around the 11-12 and 15 minute marks. Several instances made the Old Necromancer chuckle. :lol:

Don't think I've watched a video before that focused on a light mace. Good stuff!

Video from HS in the '70s.

Things I noted. No kids glued to phones. I think I saw ONE dude that was a bit overweight, everyone else looks healthy. In addition, scenes of PE classes where everyone is actively doing something. Quite the difference from what you would see if you were filming down a hallway of schools today. Not saying it's perfect by any means, but the contrast is noticeable.

1977 ... the year KISS released LOVE GUN 8-)

... before kids became motionless zombies in front of TVs hooked up to video game devices like the Atari consoles
... before soft drink companies introduced cheap sugar substitutes like corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup a la Coca Cola "Classic" in the mid-80s
... before people began using video games as substitute parents and baby sitters
... before the "food product industry" began the mass poisoning of the 'Murican public with a wide assortment of chemicals
... before kids became motionless zombies hypnotized by cell phones

... Maybe 1977 wasn't so bad after all.

Some folks really enjoy outdoor scenery of Washington state and this might be worth watching. The information about too many campers, too many visitors and people in general, destroying the forests and beauty of the land in the Cascades was of particular interest.

Absolutely breathtaking scenery. People just need to have some basic decency and respect for the environment.

Nothing I didn't already know; NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, etc. Eff main stream media. :tdown:

Nothing but mouth pieces for their corporate masters in an effort to control the general populace.
