Sep 7, 2023 | thegamer.com | Chase Shustack

It is said that nostalgia is a powerful tool. But just as nostalgia can make you long for a favorite toy or the proverbial good old days, it can also be used to terrify. That's where analog horror comes in. Taking cues from the grimy and sometimes low-quality style of VHS and analog broadcasting prominent in the 1980s and 1990s, these YouTube analog horror series focus on scaring the viewer with uncanny visuals, terrifying storylines, and plenty of fuzz, static, and copyright-free music.

You don't have to journey too far to get your hands on some powerful weaponry. Some of these weapons may be looted from chests, found inside dungeons, or won from bosses.

What happens when you combine Sesame Street, BioShock, and Resident Evil? You get My Friendly Neighborhood. In this 2023 survival horror developed by John Szymanski and Evan Szymanski, you step into the shoes of gruff and cynical repairman Gordon O'Brien, who finds himself fighting against hordes of fuzzy, maniacal, and very much alive puppets.

Jul 28, 2023 | msn.com | Chase Shustack

Olive Garden bills itself as somewhere people can get fresh Italian cuisine in the United States. However, while Olive Garden does serve classic Italian dishes like lasagna, alfredo, and ravioli, the chain doesn't necessarily follow all of Italy's traditional cooking methods.

Italians and Americans may enjoy many of the same foods — in this case, pasta — but both cultures enjoy them differently. Italians may prefer their pasta cooked al dente, but Americans aren't as strict about how pasta is cooked and shy away from al dente more often than not. In a 2010 interview with ABC News, then-president of Olive Garden, Dave Pickens, explained that the chain chose to respond to what its customers like to eat.

Beer and fried chicken, beer and corn dogs, beer and fried pickles — the list goes on. An ice-cold beer seems like the perfect companion to anything hot, golden, and deep-fried. Maybe it's the contrast in textures or the flavor of the hops meeting the crispy batter, but either way, beer and deep-fried anything makes a good combination.
