Do all storms in Scotland sound like the wailing souls of the damned trying to escape from hell?

[@pootlesnoot8278]

Currently sitting in Scotland, I can confirm this is true

[@tdegrddeehjgd]

The storms and the inhabitants.

Where Eagles Dare is absolutely the correct answer to the "best Eastwood film" question. Well answered, Drinker.

Drinker is the only one who could start with "It was a dark and stormy night." and I'd respond with "Right, I'm intrigued."

Sounds like there are TIE fighters doing circles around Drinker's house.

I was about to ask Drinker if those are following his ship 😂

So nice Drinker delivering this whilst his house is attacked by ghosts.

[@jondavidson8832]

The “Godzilla Minus One” backing track on this one was a nice touch!!

[@bananess_]

When drinker said "it was a dark and stormy night", I, as the reader, felt engaged by such a statement. This depicts the dark and dingy land known commonly as Scotland as a place of hell, almost satanic and cursed. This creates a dark atmosphere, which immerses the reader into the world. The adjective "stormy" connotes danger - which suggests Scotland is a dangerous place to live, which creates tension as we do not know if Drinker will survive. Alternatively, this could also be a metaphorical representation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because it's pure fucking hell cringe

[@MegaSpideyman]

Very nice to see this up now. Always a welcome addition to my week.

[@derekpink]

18:12 Now that’s an intense wind gust. I know they build houses strong in the UK (compared to North America), but if Drinker’s house is still intact after that gust, I’d say it can withstand anything.

[@Ramdileo_sys]

yeah.. At 11:30 .. and 18:12 Damn!!.... a fuc$%^king hurricane outside!!..

[@thehunzz]

Am I losing it, or did that kinda sound like a TIE fighter closing in on a X-wing?

[@tuzu1758]

Was it just me or maybe my audio card. The wind blowing at drinkers place sounds like a Ti - Fighter fly by?

[@HisNameWasCrazy]

I was thinking T-Rex's trying to break into Drinker's house.

[@MannyNamiro]

Damn, at night the wind outside my house does a high-pitched whistle, but it's nothing like the Scotland's screeching soul storm.

[@keithgordon3823]

Did anyone else hear the sea beast 'LEVIATHAN' in the background? This episode reminds me of the film "The Light House!" I sure hope it doesn't end the way that movie did! Hang in there guys! 🌨️🌪️🌊🐍

[@SpitFire-fj6ip]

Darn Drinker are you aboard the Death Star? The howling wind from your window sounds like a tie fighter going by. Either that or your recording on a Star Wars SFX studio

[@stitch3163]

Why does it sound like Tie Fighters are flying by the house periodically?

[@tubetorpedo]

As they said, there was a storm going on where Drinker lives and mic picked up some of it.

“This is T. Rex…pee?” nod “How did you get it?” “You don’t wanna know.”

Where's Drinker? Is he safe? Is he alright?

[@chrismatteson1312]

I can’t tell if it sounds like Drinker is at an F-1 event, or if Tie Fighters are flying by his house.

[@Ender586]

Ravenous is one of my favorite movies. Robert Carlyle vs Guy Pearce... And great, special soundtrack.

Loved this epically haunted conversation. I know it was the mic digitizing the wind sounds but. You might be in an evil dead movie and just not know it.

As a scientist, a dinosaur paleontologist no less, i would be more than happy to answer you and Mauler's dinosaur and ancient life questions anytime Drinker.

[@MC-wn9to]

Relevant to drinker being Scottish, is it true Nessie is a dinosaur ghost?

[@alexdececchi7075]

@@MC-wn9to well Nessie is likely a marine reptile rather than a dinosaur....but yes she is a ghost.

[@MC-wn9to]

@@alexdececchi7075 what’s the difference? Is a reptile not just a modern day dinosaur?

[@alexdececchi7075]

@@MC-wn9to So no, all reptiles are not dinosaurs. Of modern day animals the only dinosaurs that are left are birds with the next closest relative (and these gives split from each other around 240 million years ago) being crocs/ alligators. Marine reptiles is just a name given to any of the many reptile groups (some long gone others still around like turtle, crocs or even monitor lizards. In fact the mosasaur in Jurassic World is basically a giant aquatic Komodo Dragon) that lived in the seas during the time of dinosaurs. As far as we know there are no actual dinosaurs, besides birds, that where completely aquatic. Nessie is likely the ghost of a plesiosaur, a long necked type of reptile whose lineage is completely extinct (besides her of course). Now whether she is friendly or not I guess depends on if you appease her with enough whisky beforehand.

Rings of Power is going to keep costing Amazon. I'm ditching Prime. The past two years after RoP flopped Prime has gone up in price, and now they want to charge extra for prime video to be commercial free. I'll just buy the stuff I want on Blu-Ray and watch it that way.

The continents weren't in the same places and the Atlantic Ocean didn't exist. During the Jurassic period, there were two supercontinents: Laurasia and Gondwanaland. The Pacific Ocean still existed, but the other major ocean was the Tethys Ocean which eventually became the Himalayan Mountains. ...in case you were wondering. :)

First 2 seasons of walking dead offered more of a “take your time” feel and the watcher would think… “what would I do?” Then they got to prison and uhhhhh….

T Rex clearly evolved to use a fight stick, which leads me to believe that they were the OG Guilty gear players. Humanity knew that they cannot change society, so instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the Beast. What beast? Dinosaurs of course. Heaven or hell. Let's rock.

Thinking of French movies also made me think of a couple good French TV-series. Call my agent & A very secret service. Great fun, I highly recommend them both.

To Drinker's point, in the Deep Space Nine novel The Siege, Quark rents out the holodeck with special programs that let you hook up with the female officers stationed there. Kira, Jadzia, etc. Published in 2000, it was a simpler time. A better time.

If you want to see a show do a headless character properly, watch "Durarara!!". It's an anime of course and it has the only black russian in the history of media. Which is a funny idea, but he's also a very cool character.

[@hope-cat4894]

The Dresden Files has a black Russian as an occasional character in the books. His name is Sanya, and he's a knight with a magical sword from God who fights demons.

[@crimsonpotemkin]

@@hope-cat4894 imma be honest, I hedged my bets on the fact that nobody else, aside from a crazy japanese mangaka/novelist would come up with the idea of making a BLACK RUSSIAN (you know, the country which, if it was a magic the gathering deck, would be mono-white), yet it seems i lost that bet. As they say, my calculations were sound but man am i bad at math.

[@hope-cat4894]

@@crimsonpotemkin No problem. 😄 It's really more like the "If I had a nickel..." meme. What are the odds of two separate people making a black Russian character? That's like making a hillbilly Korean character with a thick southern accent.

[@HansPeter-gb9ep]

Scientist here: the ocean's volume is about 1.3*10^9 km³, which, if I didn't muck up my conversion, is 1.3*10^24 ml. Now a shotglass full of water (~20 ml) contains roughly 1 mol of water, i.e. 6*10^23 molecules. So if you drink a small beer, pee it out and mix it through the ocean, you could then draw a cup of water from the ocean from any place in the world and your cup would statistically contain at least one molecule which you previously peed out. Given the amount of time the dinosaurs been around, you absolutely drink dino piss every day :) Perhaps even more interesting, at least 60% of your body's nitrogen (close to 100% if you are from a first world country) went through the Harber-Bosch process, which is only about 100 years old.

I think the reason the holodeck isn't used for dubious purposes is because by that point humans are meant to have a higher level of consciousness and therefore evolved psychologically to be a bit more refined, therefore they're intellectually beyond that kind of base mindset.

[@hope-cat4894]

Disney's got one more chance to save themselves. They need to remake Strange Magic! It was a George Lucas animated jukebox musical about fairies and a love potion gone wrong. It wasn't well received and was supposed to be "Star Wars for girls." This is totally in Disney's wheelhouse. They failed with Willow and Star Wars, but a romance movie with fairies is more on-brand for them. It's all they've got left of George Lucas's work that they can still do a revamp on.
