It’s fascinating where the winding roads of history can lead you once you start heading down one of its paths. In this video, I journey from the video game Among Us becoming massively popular in 2020, and end up at Norwegian and British explorers racing toward the South Pole in 1911.
Among Us is an online multiplayer deduction game from 2018 that became massively popular in 2020.

Marvel’s Spider-Man was my favorite PlayStation 4 game in 2018.
The game’s developer, Insomniac Games, perfectly represented Spider-Man’s rogues gallery and supportive characters.
I recently started playing Kingdom Hearts 3, the most recent sequel to one of my favorite childhood games.
The Kingdom Hearts series features a cast of characters from popular Disney films.
Let’s write some funny articles based on science fiction clickbait headlines! 😀
A few months ago, I wrote a post where I listed a few funny fantasy themed article titles I had made with a clickbait generator.
