  • Have you ever wondered why there are so many boss battles that involve a big monster that has eyes in the palms of its hands? Brian David Gilbert has wondered that, so he decided to look into it.

      It gives you 55gold, not dollars. The buying power of a single gold seems quite low considering how stuff at the bar are all 100g or more. The exchange rate is probably more 1g=1cent so 100g would equal 1 dollar, putting blueberries at around 55cents per bushel.

      I don't know if you're still looking for a reason to show them, but if any of them have an interest in video games, you could tell them this an interesting video in regards to game design. Maybe show them some vids by Design Doc or Razbuten's "What gaming is like for a non-gamer" series, or even a few of Gaijin Goomba's Yokai Hunters videos to get them in the mood, then hit them with this when they least expect it.

      Good start, but we need the Twilight Zone Twist. How about the amulet protects you from one home invasion by forcing the would-be burglar to take it to a new home and give it to another complete stranger? The recipient wakes up to find a bunch of valuables in the middle of their living room, but the only thing missing is the amulet. Cut to the burglar slipping into a house warming party, and reenacting the opening scene with the new recipients, then stepping out of the party and slowly realizing the spell is broken.

But hyenas hunt cooperatively they're success rate in hunts is higher than lions! Lions are more likely to scavenge off of a hyena's kill than the other way around! They live in clans of varying sizes based on the prey near them, smaller clans around nomadic prey and larger ones around prey that doesn't move, the not nomadic clans have more hierarchy than the other ones!
