yeah - Cory Monteith died of a drug overdose during the summer hiatus. He was one of the male leads, possibly alpha. 
There was an episode of everyone hearing that he'd died and heading home to mourn him... 
Interestingly, they never mention the character's cause of death, and he was a clean-cut kid who never did drugs, so it's a bit... off.

You should read Richard Bachman (a.k.a. Stephen King) The Running Man and The Long Walk. 
You'll enjoy them.

I loved those stories, particularly The Long Walk.

You could have done that on a Speccy, albeit with some sticky bits of external hardware:

I've been playing YouTube stuff on my television occasionally by using that Chromecast thing from Google. It works reasonably well, although occasionally I think it loses its mind.

There's something just ... wrong ... about a video capture adapter that is several orders of magnitude more powerful than the computer it feeds.

Smart and television do not belong in the same sentence.

But I thought V was the lizard people?  If it was not, and I am referring to a dead room (link in current vernacular), please forgive me.

No Empty V is that music channel that doesn't play music.

Kind of like Rolling Stone is the music magazine that is filled with communist hate speech instead of covering music?
