![]() Admittedly, the film’s plot plays a bit like an extended third act of Jon Favreau’s Elf, another Christmas classic, but screenwriter Matt Lieberman’s The Christmas Chronicles is packed with enough laughs, action, and heartwarming holiday cheer to stand proudly on its own two legs. It’s up to Russell and his two ride-alongs, Kate and Ted, to retrieve the artifacts before Christmas spirit disappears. This Walt-Disney production shows how Jack Skellington, Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, is horribly celebrating Halloween.

A Christmas Prince Im pretty sure this one is new to Netflix this year and its SO good 2. What screams Christmas more than ’80s action star Kurt Russell manning an enchanted sleigh? That’s right, in director Clay Kaytis’ The Christmas Chronicles, Russell plays the man himself, jolly Saint Nick, and he’s got some holiday troubles to deal with.

![]() They believe that the internet is a wonderfully positive tool for children and young people. Childnet International is an online safety charity working with others to help make the internet a great and safe place for children and young people. We've worked with Childnet International on this list of games that help children and young people experiment with what they should trust and the potential unintended consequences. This starts with questions of trust and authority but then leads to decisions about how we use and share information ourselves. This is our thank-you to all these tireless individuals who have created something singular and pure that we now enjoy.īeing able to discern between reliable sources and unreliable sources of information is an important skill for children to develop. Sometimes this is in a final form, sometimes a single developers vision was released and has subsequent versions that expands this with more people. The games we are including here are those that were created by a single person. This list aims to highlight these games not to hold up the ideal of solo development (which can lead to unhealthy work-life balance) but to uncover this deep pool of fascinating games with a singular vision.Īs Lewis Procter tweeted, it's exciting to realise that "you can make a game without needing permission or support from a big company, and many great tools are readily available." But, as he continued, in reality "games are almost always at some level a collaborative effort." Still, these are games where there has been a single driving force (auteur) willing their creation into existence. Coding, designing, creating art, writing music, recording dialogue. Although, as the discussion surrounding this list has uncovered, almost all games have some contribution from other people. These games often stand out because of their singular vision and focused scope. Or is it? We have found a swath of amazing games that have been driven into existence by just one person. The era of a lone developer making a hit game in their bedrooms is long gone. Playing these games with young people, and answering questions they might have along the way, can be a useful starting point for important conversations about grief." They can help show the player that they are not alone in what they are going through. ![]() "The games we have selected don't necessarily offer an ideal way to cope with death but tackle the topic of death openly and with a positive attitude. With these games, players may find valuable space in which to acknowledge grief as a completely normal reaction to bereavement." "To help children cope with loss, it is important that they receive honest explanations about death, appropriate to their level of understanding. "We express grief in different ways depending on our age," they said. By focusing on the intersection between gaming and mental health, they want to raise awareness of mental health challenges and reduce the stigma surrounding these issues. I've come up with some games that explore this topic, along with help and suggestions from Gaming The Mind ( Twitter), an organisation of UK-based mental health professionals who aim to promote positive mental health within the gaming community. But also, games can provide a helpful space in which to process, consider and understand death and loss. This means that some care is necessary if players are sensitive to losing significant people. Games include interactions, narratives and characters dealing with all aspects of life (and death). ![]() And in doing so, we would go out on lots of dates to all the best places and all the hit shows, until finally, one night, you would take me back to your place – that you were pretending was someone else’s – in order to get the evidence you needed to write your exposé, by seducing me until I said, ‘I love you.’ "And I knew that since I was pretending to be a girl who would have sex on the first date you would have to pretend to be a man who wouldn’t have sex for several dates.

I knew that every time we were supposed to meet, you would get distracted by one of your many girlfriends and stand me up, and this would give me a reason to fight with you over the phone and declare that I wouldn’t meet with you for a hundred years. But insignificant enough that as long as I went unseen, Know magazine’s star journalist would refuse to do a cover story about it. I knew I had to quit my job as your secretary and write an international best-seller, controversial enough to get the attention of a New York publisher as well as Know magazine.

They’re actually the ‘ pacing challenge,'” borrowing a phrase from Biden’s Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby. Democrats, Bannon mockingly noted, view climate change as a greater threat than China “because the CCP is not the existential threat. Navarro, who bursts into every episode with the energy of a youth pastor, was on fire-and Bannon was happy to keep him ablaze. ![]() “When I tell you that this is a bioweapon launched from the Wuhan lab, take that to the bank.” That “fake president” Joe Biden is prepared for a “unilateral surrender” to China over trade?

Take that to the bank. It didn’t take long for the conversation to head straight there. War Room fans who tuned in on Rumble, the video-streaming platform used by MAGA types, were treated to Navarro’s choice of Zoom background: the Wuhan virology lab. And that’s exactly what happened on November 13, when Navarro joined the show for a discussion about Taiwan. Navarro, the author of books like Death by China and The Coming China Wars, always takes the bait. That makes the former Trump administration trade czar the perfect regular guest for War Room, the daily podcast hosted by onetime Trump adviser and right-wing agitator Steve Bannon.Ī typical Navarro appearance goes like this: Bannon will provoke him, usually by taking aim at some recent Biden administration action or dovish talking point.
