Indeed. They especially don't question those sources when the person sharing the fake news with them is a close family-member or friend. In my experience, most of my exposure to fake news on the internet comes from older family members and friends on Facebook. Studies have shown that people are more likely to believe news from questionable new sources when shared by someone they trust. I could see a lot of people not interested in seeking out this kind of stuff getting entangled by nutty aunts and uncles.

It's also funny because BuzzFeed apparently gave the White House a chance to respond at 5:15. Check out Trump's Twitter because oddly enough he all of a sudden felt like criticizing BuzzFeed over the Steele Dossier 30 minutes before the article dropped.
Me thinks tomorrow will be another wild ride.

Waking up in the morning to the sound of birds singing and a perfect ray of sunshine was always so refreshing. I now live in the city and have almost forgotten the sounds they make.
It's always something when you find something you didn't realize that you missed.

I myself haven't touched 4 since I wanted to play the original three first. Your post is a good reminder that I need to go finish the second one.
Look around eBay and you can usually nab a copy for only $15.

Being able to play again on my PC with random people is going to be a blast.
Did you ever have a Zune back in the day? My brother and I had one as well as an Xbox 360. Both platforms had a little puzzle game called Hexic. It is by far still my go-to game when I just need something to occupy my attention for a few minutes. Especially a favorite if I'm listening to an audiobook.
An indie developer on Reddit a couple of years ago made a very compelling clone of it for Android. Even got the original composer for Hexic to make some new tunes for the game. (AMA here) It's called Hexfall. I just recently discovered it and it's all I want to play to go along with podcast and audiobooks. Gameplay is dead simple, but a few of the mechanics added in get very satisfying as you gradually boost your highscore. Give it a try!
