Everyone talks about Rockstar’s biggest games, but always forgets this absolute banger. I loved State of Emergency as a kid, and honestly, revisiting it just now was actually really fun. It is pure PS2-era chaos and still has something about it that games today just do not offer. You...

OTD 28 years ago "The Strike" aired, and the world learned about "Festivus." We spoke with Dan O'Keefe whose father created Festivus. Dan was Not a fan of the episode, did Not want the episode to air, and to him, Festivus brings back deep rooted trauma. Dan explains: The way people adopted it, I didn’t see that coming. You gotta understand, I’ve been saying this for a while, yeah, that was my father, he was mentally ill and a drunk, but extremely brilliant. For whatever reason he invented this weird fucking extra holiday that was celebrated at random times. It did not have a set date. It was extremely upsetting. It was like borderline child endangerment, and it was not fun. So my brothers and I had this deal: you do not talk about it outside of the house, and we just try to pretend it’s not happening. But I didn’t pitch it, I didn’t want it to go in. I hoped it would fail and be edited out, and nevertheless, the damn thing survived. The reality is far weirder. I have the CDs that were remastered from the cassette tapes my dad used to make during the annual recording of this insanity, which is mostly him screaming about internal Reader’s Digest politics in a deep slur while my brothers are crying and my mom is telling him to simmer down. That was not something I agitated for, quite the reverse. So how do I feel about it taking off? I try to block it out. This holiday was basically an encapsulation of alcoholism and mental illness into one neat little wrapper. I was as surprised as anyone. I was not a booster of this. I was surprised it got on the air. I am beyond surprised that it seems to be something that has, to some extent, legs. There are still a few people who celebrate it. Good for them. I do not personally. I did my time on that in the ’70s and ’80s. Jerry Stiller made it fun. The real thing was terrifying, obviously, and you understood why George was not in favor of it. But he made it fun, and it was Jeff Schaffer’s joke—the idea to give it a pole. That was not the case. The real symbology of it was more peculiar and not as wholesome as an aluminum pole with a good strength-to-weight ratio.

Former Navy Seal, Doctor, and Astronaut, Jonny Kim (2020) recalls the day his drunk father pulled a gun on the family, and why fighting back left him feeling reborn "When my father died… I feel like it was the day I was reborn into someone else." "I think maybe he felt cornered… and cornered animals can be dangerous." "On this particular day… February 21st, 2002… my father came home… I could smell the whiskey on his breath, so I knew he was very intoxicated." "Some of the last words he said to me was, 'I'm sorry, Jonathan.' And he pepper-sprayed my face." "All I hear in the kitchen is my mother screaming for help and saying, 'he's got a gun.'" "I did my best to fight him and get that gun… as strong as I guess a 140-pound kid could do… But I lost that fight. I still have a scar… from when my father was able to get a hold of a dumbbell nearby and smash my head in with it." "I clearly remember saying that it's not too late. You have the power to decide right now. It's not too late." "I told him to go run, just run. And he did… that was the last time I saw my father." "I told police that I think my father's still in the house and he's in the attic… shots were fired and my father was killed." "I don't mean to sound callous, but in a lot of ways it liberated me… it liberated myself and my brother." "It taught me I'm not the scared little boy I thought I was… I can be a part of something bigger than myself." "The detective… said, 'Son, I'm sorry to tell you, but your father is dead.'… 'I take it that this is not bad news? Is this good?' And I said… 'I'm just relieved, sir.' And he said, 'I understand, son.'" "It's just a day… that helped me be reborn into the person I wanted to become."
