A sandbox survival/horror game developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment. Subnautica is unique in that the alien world it is set upon is an ocean planet, so the game takes place almost entirely underwater. The player must collect fish for food, scrap and minerals to build tools, vehicles, and habitats, while avoiding hungry wildlife, in order to cure the Kharrar disease and escape Planet 4546B.
A critical part of this experience is that the player character has only a survival knife to use as a weapon, robbing him of the ability to fight back against the aforementioned hungry wildlife. Subnautica wouldn't be as cool and scary as it is without this feature.

If you're not good with horror games and want to play through Subnautica, be sure to have an extra change of pants ready.

Polybius is one of gaming's most well known myths. Polybius was an unmarked Arcade machine spotted in an unnamed arcade in a quiet suburb of Portland, Oregon, in 1981. The game was described as strange and abstract, but "strangely addicting." Many recreations liken it to Tempest, another arcade game. Strange enough, but then there were the side effects, such as nausea, vertigo, and even night terrors. Stranger still, men in black, supposedly government agents, often visited the machines, giving rise to rumors of a government mind control program. A month later after the machine was first spotted, it vanished, along with any evidence of its existence. The only consistency in the story is the name, Polybius.
Wild story, but it actually has some basis in fact. Around the same time and place the myth was set, incidents of teens blacking out or experiencing similar side effects to the described symptoms after marathons of games such as Asteroids or Tempest, began to crop up. Also, back during that time, Arcades were often the haunts of drug dealers and other participants in illicit activities, resulting in common sightings of Narcotics officers during hours of operation. Finally, the name springs from one of the codenames of Tempest while it was in its beta stages, Polybius.

Polybius is an interesting urban legend that came to be from a mix of very real incidents and stories.

The Grand Tour is the successor to Top Gear, hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond. It is funded by Amazon, and while much like the original Top Gear, it's that much more off-the-walls and immature.
If you enjoy the old Top Gear, watch it.

The Grand Tour is a great show for people who enjoy Top Gear, traveling, cars, or just like seeing people goof around.

A derogatory nickname for the Bitcoin worshipping cult known as the Corpus from the game Warframe.
It is derived from the fact that the helmets of normal corpus enemies look as if they've just stuck a refrigerator on their head.
