He began hosting a sports radio talk show in New York City that aired every weekday from noon-2 P.M. on April 11th, 2005. The second half of the show was syndicated on ESPN Radio starting on September 20th, 2007. The show ended in 2008.

Domestic Abuse Comments Controversy

On July 25th, 2014, Smith generated controversy when, while condemning Ray Rice in the Video in which he assaulted his fiancee, he appeared to make the point that abused women should also be careful not to provoke behavior which might get them beaten.

The comments earned Smith criticism from his colleague Michelle Beadle^[2] as well as a week-long suspension from ESPN.

The “OOF” sound; derived from the sound played upon the death of a ROBLOX avatar, was started back in 2006 when ROBLOX launched. However, users of ROBLOX have taken to saying the “OOF” sound in person when they have also defeated another player in-game. The way of saying “OOF” this way was first started by the user “iiKnight_Mare” in February, 2016, whilst playing “The Streets”; a fairly popular player versus player game on ROBLOX. iiKnight_Mare states he had randomly started mocking the ROBLOX death noise towards players as a means of trolling them once they were defeated. He states he “randomly just started using the term one day and all of a sudden he sees a plethora of other players committing the same act a short while after”. “I feel like it spread like wildfire”, he said and “I didn’t know it would drag so much attention from the online community”.

DanTDM is a popular gamer.

Kids don’t watch much TV nowadays. Things are shifting to the Internet. This is a challenge for no-screen families or heavy censorship moms. In the end, we lose the parenting battle to every YouTuber out there.

They want to be famous YouTubers. And they can do that themselves with the push of a button and the webcam they already have.

Sorry, Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson. You can’t handle the truth. All the hard work you put into Hollywood was wasted on this generation. My kid doesn’t care about the Oscars. At age seven, all he cares about is the next YouTube sensation. He’ll never run lines at an audition, study improv or classical acting or get rejected by a casting director. He’ll just push “record” and go.

“I have 100 subscribers!” they might say. “I wonder if DanTDM will like this?” ( he is every kids hero.). All of the likes and subscribers are probably the kids parents.

Don’t underestimate the power of DanTDM and Stampy.

Just because they’re young and talk about zombies, games and fashion grabs doesn’t mean they’re not in control of the empire they’re building. We left them a bad economy and they ran with it. They’re changing the way we consume and purchase content, products, and live our lives.

They’re one of the largest disposable income purchasing demographics out there–meaning they’ve got the most cash they can spend because they don’t have as many bills, and they’re building and controlling present and future economies. Marketers and breakfast cereals with premiums bow to them.

What does this mean?

It means I have to catch up to YouTube–and fast.

YouTube’s not my competition, it’s already my master.

While I’m sitting here writing about my son, garden vegetables, sustainability and education–my kid’s already strategizing about how to build his personal brand on Periscope. I’m that guy with the quill pen and parchment sitting next to a little time machine.

If you can’t beat them, join them. It’s tough to restrict when your kid disables YouTube’s safety mode so he can watch DanTDM and/or Stampy.

I sit down and watch. Then, I teach.

You can find some amazing content. You will love digging into YouTube watching kid friendly channels like Thomas Sanders’ vines, to some amazing teen/twenties social justice channels. Declan and I watch science and animal stuff all the time.

I endorse YouTubers who are fun. Say “You can watch Stampy,Squid,Stampy. They are approved.” You can discuss things that are “good for teens, not you.” Sometimes, I give a famous YouTuber ( like PewDiePie or ihascupquake) or two a time out. “You can watch them when you are (insert arbitrary age here).”

Only show them youtubers that don’t say “fuck” or “shit”.
PewDiePie didn’t say the bad word, his guest did.

It’s a teachable moment. That YouTuber can stay. For now.

The bottom line is this–your kids have heroes you’ve never heard of (, and they can outwit you and route around your restrictions, and you’ll only see what they plant for you to see. “Awwww, my teen just ‘liked’ seven social justice pages and wants to join the Peace Corps.”

That’s why it’s better to be involved and to teach digital responsibility in the content they consume–and also to encourage them not to be blind consumers–CREATE!

My son’s not quite a teen yet–soon. They age faster than ever these days. I need to be ready. This is war.

TDM does not stand for “tit dick motherfucking.”

“Hey, Mom. Wanna play hide-and-go-seek?” He will decide to take a break from Minecraft and YouTube to play with you for real.

“You can play hide and seek in Minecraft, you know. In Highpixel.” That’s where he/she will play games with other future parent outwitters. He’s since been banished. I think he broke a rule. It was a teaching moment, too–like everything is online.

“Let’s go play for real!”

He’s waiting nicely without a screen in sight. That’s the way little boys should be. I’ll play real-hide-and-seek now before he’s too famous to acknowledge me and he only has time for his fans.

That’s the real important part, getting out there for real.

Used as spam, this attack seems to trigger the fighting type Pokemon Makuhita.

Serious Sam is a series of “horde” first-person shooters created and developed by Croteam. The story involves a man named Samuel “Serious Sam” Stone fighting hordes of monsters in order to stop an alien tyrant named Mental from destroying Earth and taking over the Universe.

History

Serious Sam began development in 1996 as a game called In the Flesh. The idea was to combine modern graphics with Doom’s frantic, enemy horde-themed gameplay. The development went on and off because the early Croteam consisted of university students and the occasional person drafted into the military.

In the Flesh became Serious Sam in 1998, when Roman Ribarić, Croteam’s CEO“received a vision” that told them to rename In the Flesh into “Serious Sam”. Most of the developers quickly complied. Development continued as normal, despite the name change.

In March 2001, Serious Sam: The First Encounter was released to wide acclaim. The game became a huge success and received multiple awards, including one from IGN, partially because of its $20 USD price tag^[1].

The story of TFE takes place in Egypt, Serious Sam goes to the past using an alien artifact known as the “Time-Lock” that allows him to travel back in time so he could assassinate Mental in the past, not knowing that by doing that, he would wake Mental in that time.

Originally intended as the second half of TFE, Serious Sam: The Second Encounter was released nearly a year after, the story takes place right after the end of TFE, Serious Sam is on his way to Mental’s homeworld until he crashes with a crate-bus of Croteam Big Heads, causing him to crash land back into Earth.
