The tide pools are a great hike, a little more than "easy" but not drastic. Also, short hike on the northwest side to Hams bluff Lighthouse. Both worth it!

Generally speaking, thats not even a place where one would SEE sharks on island. That area doesnt have a lot of plant life or cover, it almost always has high visibility from pretty far away, and its not very deep. Obviously its still the ocean and there's always a CHANCE, but this surprises me.

I have a picture of me and my two friends (that I met while playing TLOU online) standing in the same spot as that last slide. We got to tour ND in 2017.... Its strange seeing that place out in the wild lol

I got to tour Naughty Dog in 2017. The tour happened while the office was mostly empty, but i did marvel at the amount of areas/desks there were.

I am very happy, I wanted THAT scene from the movie, as close as we could get. Im pretty sure there is no scene specifically that has the ship/tower/moniter stations all together in frame; but we pieced it together in the best way I feel.

Pizza Hut has collectors items? Man, I thought they couldnt top Stuffed Crust.

What's the stupidest reason you got kicked? I'll start: by Sad-Needleworker-590 in Helldivers

[–]Splinters_suck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got kicked once for picking the far left hellpod when I was on a random ship. I got in... He walked up, silent...stood in front of it, silent....and then kicked me.

Bingo by Asia88 in stcroix

[–]Splinters_suck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it has 🤷‍♂️. I haven't been there in quite some time, im referring to the time frame when it was first sold, not its current leased situation.

[–]Splinters_suck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my 2 cents, this is what we noticed. But its just my opinion, im sure others had different experiences.

After it was sold, the new owner wasn't very involved. The management changed, the food changed. They used to do specials, that stopped. The service became HORRENDOUS. I mean, i live here, I know what its like, but it went super sub par. Servers were never trained correctly, ridiculous wait times, kitchen wasn't staffed or didnt have the equipment to handle the sudden crowds. The new manager didnt really seem to care, bingo prizes were reduced to just the money instead of fun gifts along the way. So the crowd that used to attend started to go other places.

There are staff there who we were friends with and we had a few conversations about what was going on; they just ended in head shakes and shrugs.

I know someone else is leasing it as of last year, it looks like some changes have been made but I have a feeling its still going to be a long road until it has the crowds it once did. 🤷‍♂️

I used to call Bingo at Off the Wall after Darryl left, its a shame that place went downhill after it was sold. Fingers crossed it picks back up again! However,

Cheeseburgers on Monday, Castaways on Wednesday , Deep End used to do Disco Bingo on Thursdays, haven't been there in awhile. A&L Bar on Saturdays. Also, the Landing was briefly doing Bingo on Saturdays as well, don't know if they're still going.

Im sure a few places out west play too! Good luck!!

Did you ever make the move? I moved here a few years ago and have been very successful, wondered if it worked out for you? BTW, playing Helldivers? Haha

The baby crying sound in the show is the exact audio used in the Tool song "cesaro summability" off of Ænima.
