Not sure if Ellen would like that though...)

Risus panicum avertit That's the closest I could make it to "laughter keeps the panic at bay", (I interpreted "keep at bay" as "to avert" as phrasal verbs don't translate well into latin) I haven't studied latin since high school, an that was over 6 years ago...

Mr. Westaway, as a representative of the new environmentally focused Umbrella corporation, we appreciate the time you took to submit your admittedly impressive work. Sadly, we are less focused on cows these days and are leaning more towards experiments dealing with animals of the avian and canine variety. Perhaps if you submit a video dealing with your work regarding those types of creatures, we can review your application again. Until then, remember to visit any of our plants for ideas, especially those in the Paris or Raccoon City areas. (P.S. -- That said, if you can present a solution to our aquatic animal land transportation problem, you would definitely be in)

The inclusion of amphibian transportation would also be well regarded

Ellen: I like playing on my own. A lone voice in the wilderness in these dark days Even Bioware the king/ queen of the single-player storyline has been lured away of multiplayer and always online 'service' games. Keep preaching from the mountain tops Ellen they will come. The lone wolves* are with you!✊ *And trolls - for the record I do have real-world friends - video game worlds of my space!

@@marhawkman303 and I hope you have fun mate! But I won't be playing it or anthem for exactly that reason I've never had good experiences with multiplayer a few times I've entered I've always been bullied for being rubbish even when you enter like the basic level where everyone should just be learning how to do it. When I say big bullied let's just say they may be attempt and eventually I got bored wandered off to do something better it didn't really dent my self-worth or anything just put me off playing with people online. The reason why I made my comment is I think it's important for people to remind the world at large but not everyone likes the same things and lot of company seem to be going down the multiplayer games as service route and I just thought if I made a comment someone might see it you never know right? Plus what Ellen said was funny I had that immediate response and I wanted to show you my appreciation LOL

[@marhawkman303]

@@wheelyjon Well, games as service is pretty much the only way to do titles that aren't one-and-done releases. ANY game that has continuing development needs continuing cash flow. Devs have to eat, it's just that simple. If Skyrim(for example) didn't have mods a lot of people would probably have gotten bored of it by now. Heh, I often make an effort to explain to players how they're doing things wrong. I'm usually polite about it. the last time someone got on my nerves it was a guy who was simultaneously bragging about how good he was at PVP and how quickly he go thrashed by an open-world event boss. I tried helping him, but.... he just couldn't hear anyone advice over the sound of his own ego.

Halloween is at the end of October because the 1st of November is All Saints' Day, and Halloween is All Hallows' Eve. 22:03 A friend actually got one of those for me on my birthday a few years ago, and I learned how to play the Song of Time and Epona's Song on it. Fun times.

[@coyoteartist]

1. It's after Thanksgiving now. Although I know that only matters to Americans. 2. Rob from PlayStation Access's birthday, is actually on Christmas. He got a Crystal Palace kit one year. The jersey for his birthday and the shorts for Christmas. He didn't mention socks though. Usually those are part of a uniform.

[@philiphunn194]

My birthday is the 22nd, and two of my sisters also have December birthdays. Clearly my parents have a thing for purposefully conceiving at a set time of year. On the other hand, Annie Lennox has her birthday on Christmas Day, so we share our birth month with a really important person. There may be another important person who has a birthday in December, but I can't think of anyone, can you?

I know how it feels, my birthday is exactly one week from Christmas Day. ...But my friend's is on the 23rd...

@@Djw2320 *puts on historian hat* not only was the person later known as Jesus (that name is an anglicised form of his original name - recall that he was jewish) born approximately three years before/after his approximated birth year, religious and other academics have long since reached a consensus that the celebration of Jesus's birthday near the solstice is a later practice used to disguise festivities from disapproving eyes & that his actual birthday was much earlier in the year (conclusions drawn based on the geography, travelling limitations, & climate of the time period in which he was born). christmas as a birthday party for jesus is basically an older version of celebrating Queens Elizabeth II/Beyonce birthdays during Queen's Birthday when their actual birthdays are at other times. it's an effort at practicality for the general public rather than a literal birthday party. *takes off history hat and hopes for someone with a Remembers Numeral Dates Hat comes along to fill in her gaps*

[@RemembermeSF]

the creepy owl is actually the sage of light who gives you the light medallion. also, there are 6 temples but you only fight in 5 of them. the place where the master sword is kept is the temple of light which is where the owl dude gives you the light medallion. also where gannondorf princessnaps zelda after she gives you the light arrows. everything around that place is sort of lightly sprinkled in to the story but is massively important to the plot. lol

Best way to introduce someone who has no idea what the hell they're doing with smash bros? 1v1 no items, with you not being a jerk. Give them basic controls, teach them how to attack, smash, jump, special, shield, dash. Then throw them in a match with another person who has no idea what they're doing, and ask them to teach the other person. (Best way to learn is to teach someone else; second best way is to be taught by someone who only has a vague idea of what they're doing but gives you a free sandbox to actually do experiments in) Come back a couple of matches in and ask if they're up for trying a bigger match. If you're actually *good* at the game (ie: are completely unfairly dominating every match), set it up such that they're on a team against you or give yourself a negative handicap point or two (assuming they still have that system - last I saw that was Melee). Don't give the newbies positive handicap points, though, they need to get used to what those damage numbers mean, and the handicap system skews that. Once they're actually able to keep track of their own character in a match with at least 3 contenders, then you can bring in items. Or not. Depends on if you want to play with them.

"Laughter keeps the panic at bay", new motto for Outside Xtra, new life motto for me

On the bright side Luke, I swallowed a bell when I was 4 and it just was left to pass through me naturally (did so a couple of days later), per the hospital's advice. Also, with my older sister having her birthday on the 22nd, and a good friend of mine having hers on the 24th, they both elected to celebrate their half-birthdays instead on June 22nd and 24th respectively, to avoid having their birthday celebrations too close to the 25th.

I remember a story some years ago of a guy that celebrated Christmas each day all year round. Wrapping paper was supposedly in place of wallpaper on his walls

Laughter keeps the panic at bay = ludus vincula pavoris superat. (Took a bit of creative licence with it. Ludus can also mean fun, laughter or games.)

The fact that Ellen’s voice was so unsupervised when asking if Luke needed to go to the hospital

[@ivorydeluxe1672]

How Luke described recomming something to someone is exactly what I did when I recommend this channel to my friends xD

[@wyattgehlen8251]

Ellen is my new favorite hero with her no nonsense attitude towards holiday decor and timing!

[@blacktomcasidy]

21:05 had a crush on them both after this bit. Ellen's hair flick + Luke's steps ❤️. Oof

Keep Christmas in December! Also don't take all your decorations down on boxing day (like my sister-in-law). December the 1st til 12 days after Christmas. That's a good chunk of time, and keeps it special.

When this video was posted it was already the 25 in New Zealand (12 hours ahead). So as well as being Christmas in here (hand on heart) it would also be Christmas in New Zealand.

It would be (to the closest approximation) "Risus custodit metus procul sinu". translate.google.com/#la/en/Risus%20custodit%20metus%20procul%20sinu

[@NisansaDdS]

But it is a bit a too literal on "at bay" part.
