Great space, and very cool show!   Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 101st episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings.

Famously never localized for an English-speaking audience, HAL Laboratory and Brownie Brown's Mother 3 has almost become a meme at this point. So much so that I wondered if it could live up the inflated expectations that I unwittingly put on games that are unavailable or difficult to find, a kind of forbidden fruit syndrome. So I made sure to put Mother 3 on my Backlog Resolutions list for 2024 and hey! It's pretty good!

The troupe prepared to do battle with the approaching caravan, when New Rogue recognized them as the Vistani, the travelling performers they had met in Happy Town. But just as they were greeting each other, the Doctor Deputy—thinking that Adam was speaking to him in code—attacked. Del managed to think quickly and stop the squire momentarily, but when he kept attacking, Adam shoved him into his bag of holding. Back at the were-camp, Tyler found a clever way to set up an invisible fishing hole in the sky where they could fish for ground worms, but will that even matter if the Vistani's fears aren't allayed by Jack Magnum's tricks?

They were joined by the newly resurrected Doctor Deputy, met a strange creature called the Nilbog, and arrived at a cottage. Del, New Rogue, and Tyler felt uneasy about the cottage and its proprietor, but as night approached, they decided they were safer inside, so Del and Shadow Nemesis fell asleep, New Rogue kept watch, and Tyler found himself in a room with hundreds of porcelain dolls.

Welcome to Season Two of Jesters of Ravenloft! If you're joining the show now, I'll give you a quick recap! The sketch comedy troupe Wet Change were sucked into Ravenloft by Ezra, the god of the mists, and were changed by their journeys. Del became a bard who can talk to ghosts, Tyler turned green and became a combat wizard with massive horns, Guy Bradford died and lost all his memories becoming a cleric named New Rogue, and Adam was possessed by a Symbiote and slowly became corrupted by the evil around him. With the townsfolk turning on Adam—who renamed himself Shadow Nemesis—can these comedians escape Happy Town before the villagers come for them?

This man was revealed to be a member of their little town who was suspected long ago to be the “Magic Man”. someone whom the town suspects is behind all these kidnappings, with “an ability to make people disappear that bordered on the mystical.” The townsfolk are disturbed by Jerry Friddle's murder, which revives the memories of the Magic Man. Deputy Tommy Conroy (played by Geoff Stults) is tasked with solving Jerry's murder, and ends up on the hunt for the Magic Man. Tommy's wife Rachel Conroy (played by Amy Acker) is taken by the Magic Man, which is confirmed by the presence of dead flowers on the door step of the victim's family. Rachel is returned to Tommy and the town safe after Tommy and Merritt Greives (played by Sam Neill) start digging into the Magic Man's past and past victims. Town secrets are rushed to be protected as it seems many of influence in the town seem to know more about the Magic Man and the disappearances than has been made official in public records. We see the series end with Henley Boone (Lauren German) presenting a hammer that was used to murder Tommy's mother Alice (Dee Wallace) who was previously believed to have passed in an accidental tumble down the stairs, Tommy confronts his father about his mother's death, and Griff (Sheriff Griffin Conroy, played by M. C. Gainey) approaches Alice and questions her about the missing people who were previously understood to be dead.

With joyful pictures and words, Welcome To Happy Town helps kids (and adults) understand that being kind to ourselves and others feels good. As you read this book with your children, or as they read it themselves, they will become more aware of their own and other people's individual specialness.The Happy Town series offers simple, fun activities that invite children to pay closer attention to nature. Kids will gain a greater connection to their world as they directly experience the everyday miracles surrounding them.Thoughts are powerful; they can make us happy, sad, compassionate, or mad. Many children and adults do not realize that they often have the power to choose their thoughts. And thoughts impact our feelings and experiences.

Born in New York, and having grown up with two actor parents, Ben Schnetzer never saw acting as any different from any other 9 to 5 job. Starting out in school plays, Ben recalls how his parents supported him from a young age and encouraged him to lead his own way when it came to his craft. Taking a year-long break after high school, Ben attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in the U.K. and recalls the obstacles he encountered during his early years of auditioning. Landing his first major series on ABC's “Happy Town,” Ben shares the experience of his first screen test and how he eventually learned to overcome audition nerves. Since then, Ben has racked up a slew of credits in films such as “Snowden,” “Pride,” “Warcraft,” “The Book Thief,” “Goat,” “The Giant,” as well as a lead role in the newly released FX television drama series, “Y: The Last Man.” Today, Ben dives into the art of self tapes and how actors can use them to their advantage as the new auditioning norm during the pandemic. He offers tips on what is helpful for actors to look for when watching playback of their tapes, and what to refrain from agonizing over. Going even deeper, Ben offers insight into what it really means when casting says they know if you're right for the role within the first 20 seconds of your tape. More than anything, Ben stresses the importance of taking the work seriously, rather than taking yourself too seriously. He reminds artists that our characters are a construct in another person's story, and we can only control the level of work that we put into our craft and the rest is out of our hands. Ben knows what it means to be excited about the work, to fall in love with the journey, and reminds actors everywhere that there is value to be found in feeling lost from time to time.

STEVEN WEBER, joining the cast of NBC'S CHICAGO MED this season

STEVEN WEBER JOINS NBC'S CHICAGO MED (FROM DEADLINE) NBC's Chicago Med is leaning into Dr. Dean Archer's controversial promotion to interim chief of the ED by upping Steven Weber to series regular. The news comes after the explosive Season 6 finale in May that saw power-hungry Dean continue to dangerously bend the rules to suit his agenda. Additionally, two new doctors are joining Gaffney Chicago Medical Center as Guy Lockard and Kristen Hager have landed series regular roles on the Dick Wolf-produced procedural, which returns for its seventh season this fall. The new cast additions follow the shocking departures of Yaya DaCosta and Torrey DeVitto at the end of last season.Lockard will portray Dr. Dylan Scott, who left a career as a Chicago police officer to become a doctor. Whether the doctor has any connections to characters in Chicago P.D. is as yet unknown. Hager plays Dr. Stevie Hammer, a brilliant and scrappy emergency room attending physician. NBC's One Chicago Wednesday lineup, anchored by Chicago Med at 8 PM, returns Sep. 22. The franchise is produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, part of Universal Studio Group. STEVEN WEBER BIO (FROM IMDB.COM) This Queens-born actor has certainly proven himself adept at everything from quirky comedy to flat-out melodrama earning TV stardom in the early 1990's and maintaining a strong foothold on stage, film and TV in its aftermath. Steven Robert Weber was born on March 4, 1961, to Fran (Frankel), a nightclub singer, and Stuart Weber, a nightclub performer, and Borscht Belt comic and manager. He was already appearing in television commercials by elementary school age. He later studied at the High School of the Performing Arts in New York and graduated from New York State University. The fair-haired, fair-skinned actor worked a series of menial jobs during his salad days as a struggling thespian (custodian, elevator operator, singing waiter) until earning his break on TV in a presentation of one of Mark Twain's stories. Quickly making his film debut in the popular comedy The Flamingo Kid, he nabbed a running role on the soap opera As the World Turns a year later. On the set he met first wife Finn Carter, another co-star on the daytime drama. Steven stayed put for a year then went on to gain recognition in more offbeat and/or prestigious productions on film and prime-time TV. He played a rock star in the thoroughly offbeat foreign-made film Angels and showed real command as John F. Kennedy in the epic miniseries The Kennedys of Massachusetts. That same year TV stardom came his way with the sitcom Wings. Co-starring with Tim Daly as Brian Hackett, the looser, goofier more aimless half of the brotherly team who co-owned a one-plane, Nantucket-based airline, the actors' chemistry, not to mention a terrifically eclectic supporting cast, kept the show on a steady course for seven seasons. Easily typed now as a genial, lovable loser type, Weber faced the prospect of severe pigeon-holing. So during the show's off season, he started showing up in more serious roles. He suffered at the hands of the deranged Jennifer Jason Leigh in Single White Female; appeared in a second chiller with The Temp; and made a cameo in the highly depressing, award-winning Leaving Las Vegas. His flair for comedy shone in is straight-man role as Johathan Harker in the critically acclaimed horror spoof, Dracula: Dead and Loving It He truly impressed both critics and audiences alike as the complex title character in Jeffrey, a gay romantic film comedy, and then completely defied all odds by starring in an epic TV-movie version of Stephen King's horror classic The Shining, seizing the role inherited from Jack Nicholson and brilliantly making it his own while earning a Saturn award for his chilling efforts. By the time "Wings" came to an end in 1997, Weber had divorced his actress/wife Finn Carter (they had no children) and married actress/TV executive Juliette Hohnen on July 9, 1995. They have two children, Jack and Alfie. He and Laura Linney were selected to play the TV-movie leads in the popular A.R. Gurney theater piece Love Letters. While other TV series comebacks have fared less well, including the short runs of The Weber Show (which he produced), The D.A., Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Happy Town and Chasing Life. Steven bounced around solidly in other venues. In 2002, he joined the cast of the smash Broadway musical "The Producers," taking over the nebbish Matthew Broderick role. In 2004, he went to London to appear on stage with Kevin Spacey and Mary Stuart Masterson in "National Anthems." Other plays over the years have included "Throwing Your Voice," "Something in the Air" and "Design for Living." Steven has remained quite productive into the millennium with recent film outings in Sexual Life, The Amateurs, Inside Out, the title role in Choose Connor, Farm House, My One and Only, A Little Bit of Heaven, Son of Morning, the comedy Being Bin Laden in which he played Osama Bin Laden, Crawlspace, Kiss Me, Amateur Night, A Thousand Junkies, The Perfection and Allan the Dog. Seen even more prolifically on TV, he has graced such popular shows as "The D.A.," "Will & Grace" (as Will's brother Sam), "Monk," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Desperate Housewives," "Hot in Cleveland," "Parenthood," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Sleepy Hollow" and "This Close." The actor continues to play a stream of comedic and dramatic recurring roles on such TV programs as Without a Trace, Brothers & Sisters, Dallas (the New Generation), Murder in the First, Helix, iZombie, House of Lies, NCIS: New Orleans, Ballers and Get Shorty and more recently appeared as a regular on the mystery series 13 Reasons Why and comedy series Indebted. In addition, he has given voice to a few animated programs including Ultimate Spider-Man, Avengers Assemble The Bravest Knight and Puppy Dog Pals.https://www.nbc.com/chicago-med
