10 Things That Ruin Roblox For Kids

Video games have been disappointing us for as long as we can remember. We’re still wondering how we keep being convinced otherwise. Anyone who went through the Candy Crush Saga addiction knows it’s probably not worth the time (or money) you wasted. After all, you don’t even get a real ending or any kind of reward for beating the game. The Wii Fit was a game which attempted to make exercise fun, but nothing can make it fun…not even video games. The Simpsons Road Rage reminds us of our childhood, but it also reminds us of where EA started making bad games just to make money. Shame on you EA and shame on us for buying it just because they stamped the Simpsons on the cover.

Oh, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare was wrong in so many ways. It was boring and we’re still trying to figure out why they wanted to make it futuristic. Just leave the space exploration for Jason X. Mario and Sonic go to the Olympics had us hoping for so much more. What could go wrong with two of Nintendo’s most popular characters? Apparently, everything. We had such high hopes for Star Wars Battlefront, but then EA made up the excuse the game was “just for kids” to satisfy gamers questions. At least, it was aesthetically beautiful and had the best explosions we’ve ever seen in a video game. If you hate wasting your time on awful video games and dislike when greedy companies take your money then you’re going to feel enraged if you join us as we take a look at some awful video games that made shocking amounts of money.

Every week, groups of aging New Zealanders are gathering together for a rather unusual hobby: building their own coffins. While it may sound macabre, these DIY “coffin clubs” allow for seniors to cope with death and loss while bringing some fun and personality to their own final journey. Through the process of building and decorating “underground furniture,” members find camaraderie while also minimizing the stress and cost of funerals. Filmmaker Briar March tells story of the Coffin Club through song and dance in this charming docu-musical.
