    Anyone have any crazy stories to share from Mental Health facilities?

  • Yeah, I was new in the common area and struck up a conversation with this guy, and I asked him what his tattoos meant.

    He said they were mafia tattoos. Now, I didn't necessarily believe him because he was just this big, ginger, teddy bear-looking white dude. But, he went into a little detail and told me he was affiliated with multiple syndicates. He could have been messing with me, and I'm also aware that familes don't really play nice with each other, so again I took this with a grain of salt. But, he told me his Capo was coming to meet him later so I figured I'd see then.

    There was this black woman (race is relevant to this story because race is usually relevant to mafias and the areas in which they operate) at the psych ward that was a little loopy. She would constantly pester the nurses to use the phone, and about every hour she would get access to it. She would call the same 3 people and say the same 5 things over and over again, about how she shouldn't be in there and all that. The people she was calling would try to explain, she wouldn't get it, rinse and repeat. Heartbreaking situation, but my main point is that I don't think she was all there.

    Well, visitation time comes around. This 30-something white guy is visited by a sharply-dressed black man in his 80s. They sat in the corner, speaking quietly for about an hour. During their conversation, the woman I mentioned earlier walked into the common area and saw the elderly gentleman. She stopped dead in her tracks, eyes wide open and mouth agape; she slowly raised her arm to point at him and said, in an ominous tone, "I know that man." The younger fellow replied quickly, "I've been knowin' him for years, love," and she just walked away. That pretty much confirmed it for me, and I do believe he was mafia-affiliated to this day.

    Later that night, I was sitting with the big teddy bear fellow in the common area. I was flipping through the channels and saw that Comedy Central was about to air 50 First Dates, the romcom with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore where she plays an amnesiac. Offhandedly, I commented that I had never seen it. He immediately rose up alert in his seat. "You've never seen 50 First Dates? That's one of the best movies of all time. Honestly, I'd say Adam Sandler is the most underrated actor working today. You need to stay up and watch it."

    You're damn right I did, too.

  • I totally forgot that Geppetto just gives up. That entire movie is ridiculously dark. Good thing they had a quirky talking cricket to lighten the mood.

  • Tbh not sure if that is darker than the first movie. Like, a major plot point in Pinocchio is little boys getting lured to an island by pleasures offered to them by strangers. Then they get turned into animal slaves (with human intelligence and emotions).

    That one kid transforms into a donkey in front of Pinnochio and his screams of horror gradually turn into the brays of a donkey, his hands losing grip on Pinocchio's shirt as they turn into hooves.

    That movie is not light.

  • Cinemassacre, for a couple reasons:

    1. The character of the AVGN is based on Mike Matei, not James Rolfe. James is mainly a horror movie nerd, and Mike is the gamer. As toxic as Matei can be about gaming, When Mike left, part of the Nerd left with him.
    2. They expanded to more recent games. It was inevitable, but it really killed the last personal touch the series had. The AVGN Earthbound episode is a great outlier, because you can tell that James wanted to make it and had at least some connection to the game. Most of the episodes now, he's reviewing games he has no connection to, using a script written by someone else.

    Game Grumps, for similar reasons. Dan stopped being familiar with the games they played, so he stopped offering as much input. During Covid especially, he would order in food and just eat for half of the episode. They pivoted to not really marking the number of an episode in a series, thus making it harder to follow a series. Then they started releasing longer episodes and doing stuff like the 10 Minute Power Hour. I originally was drawn to the fact that you could watch an episode of GG or play it as background noise and still get some good laughs or vibes. That kinda went out the window, and so did I.

  • So many RLM episodes have edits that are just annoying to watch, and they do that on purpose and I love them.

  • Fruit Stripe gum. That flavor would last about 10 seconds, but it was divine. It's been discontinued, and I doubt the formula will survive through a rerelease. RIP Fruit Stripe.
