misfortune.gb 

misfortune.gb is an urban legend, a creepypasta, of a game that was made for the original gameboy system. unlike most gameboy games, it was not released on its own cartridge and instead was hidden within other games cartridges and could only be accessed by performing a certain sequence of events or by glitching into the game somehow.

the game consists of level filled with traps and death drops all the while being pursued by a demon that toys with the player characters emotions, and threatening to bring misfortune to any who fail at the game.

players who lost at the game were made to become very depressed, suicidal and even physically sick in some cases and this is what made the story a creepypasta. however, unlike many creepypastas, this was actually true. the hidden game featured a game over screen which showed a picture of the demon that pursues the player and the text "i am god here" written in blood whilst a horrible 8 bit soundtrack played. this music would only play upon losing and the frequencies of the music affected the minds of many people causing these "misfortunes" so to speak, to happen. this can be confirmed with the studies of musicology and psychology.

the game is near impossible to find but it is known to be in at least 5 different gameboy videogame cartridges.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
