by Sam Chandler · ShacknewsHey Shacknews, it's time for Weekend Discussion. Let's officially close out our weekend! Please take a look.
Your daily dose of sudoku
Three digits and a lot of lines. Love it when they look so simple.
Netflix felt like a godsend back in the early 2010s
We're now back to cable/Foxtel days.
Film study time!
I love a good scene breakdown. Reminds me of my time studying film.
The Catacombs
Remember to take out the necromancer first or it will keep bringing the skeletons back. Not great when you're trying to reach Pinwheel.
Interviewing THE interviewer
I love his docos.
Andy Weir on writing (and selling) The Martian
This is a funny guy. You can see why his books have great humor.
Minecraft death screens
I never knew there were so many.
