Looking for an old 3D Medieval RPG game for PC.
I've been thinking about this a lot, but I can't really remember it too well. A game I used to play as a kid, and one of the few PC games I had growing up. All I really remember was the first mission or quest, where you would wake up one night to the sound of monsters or werewolves or something of the sort, invading your home during the middle of the night, attack who I'd imagine was your wife. You slay them, and kneel in front of the woman, say...something, as I cannot remember, and then passout. I believe after a loading screen, you wake up at day, in some kind of medical area, but my memory is fuzzy.
If anyone knows this game, I'd very much appreciate anyone to give me a title. I've had a desire to play it again as of recent. Thanks in advance.

Christmas Carol adaptation Film
I once saw a film of "A Christmas Carol" where the Ghost of Christmas Present had a magic power with his torch (or something similar) that I think might have made people be nicer. I remember that he used it on some random people on the street, and then he used it on the Cratchits and I think it made the latter start talking about how full they were from dinner. I don't know which film this is from, though, and I wasn't able to find any information about this specific version online.
Weirdly dark steampunk YA book Literature
The protagonist is a mid-teens girl, but her older brother, who takes care of her after their parents died, has disappeared. She eventually finds this other boy, gets taken to a castle/mansion place, gets attacked by some kind of monster, but it turns out her brother isn’t dead after all. I remember really vividly the first scene where she and her girlfriends are watching a criminal get publically “castigated” with a machine that scalds his hands, and it makes her throw up. Also she has a scar on her neck, I think from where her mother tried to kill her... As I said, it’s really steampunk. They end with the girl and the boy taking an air balloon/blimp thing to I think some other plane of existence...
80s childrens broadcast Film
It was educational I think, I mostly remember the intro. It involves a puppet bedroom at night where the child would wake up and move over to his wooden rocking horse where he would proceed to ride it up and out his bedroom windows. I think it may have been a DIC program but its been driving me nuts for years haha
Book from my childhood-deeply disturbing Literature
It was a children’s book about a kid with a tragic backstory (maybe he was an orphan?) and all he wanted was to try an apple. I think he ended up getting the apple but ultimately did not get to eat it — I think because bullies kicked it in the gutter?? It took place in an Asian country I think.
Airport scene from a film Film
A group of passengers, all wearing the same shirt with "___ Bound" printed on it, board a plane, and just as it is about to depart, we cut to a tarmac crewmember who proclaims, "Time for me to do my job." Cut back to the plane, captain/FO announces they'd have to deplane. What film does this appear in?

Book on puppet making? Literature
This past summer I found a book online through my state library catalog about making your own puppets, and I believe it was cowritten by Noreen Young (creator of Under the Umbrella tree :) I've been searching recently for it and it's all but vanished! Anybody know what book I'm talking about?
Some Blues Clues Live Action TV
Watching stuff from Everything Is Terrible channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iFsYXR36Kg)
and I'm really curious of what this show was called. It basically a dude who carries a "magic music bag" containing instruments and other stuffs as well as teaching kids numbers and the alphabet.
I can't find any other details of this show other from that video, looks like it in the early to mid 90s and seem to be aired only locally.
The only other video of this guy is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tmuezpBYwI
First Time I Used This Chat (Resolved)
Alright... Since this is the first time I used this chat. I want to ask you guys about a show:
"Anyone here remembers a movie about a girl being attacked by unknown entities in a car wash?"

Numbered supersoldiers Western Animation
The show had these kids with powers that were activated by biting a chip that was implanted in their teeth. I think the characters were given numbers for names. It is even possible it was an anime, but I cannot remember. I've been trying to remember forever, but its hard to remember the details.

Month-named sisters - Resolved Webcomic
I know I've asked about this before and gotten a response, but I recently lost all my bookmarks and can't find the original query.
I'm looking for a web comic with a relatively detailed art style. Full color, or mostly full color. It would have stopped updating a while ago. Two of the characters were sisters - either orphans or runaways. One of them was a young adult or teenager. The other was a young child. They were both named after months.
There was some sort of powerful being or fairy with long purple hair. There might have been a corgi. Alternate dimensions/time travel/something similar factored into the plot somewhat.

Doctor wearing a large coat Western Animation
On a Discord chat I'm one someone recently bought online what appears to be a storyboard sketch from some old cartoon. The sketch shows an apparently fat character (labeled as "Doctor XXX") entering through a door and taking off his coat, revealing it's actually very thin underneath. Any clue? Here is the pic

A Western Animation about kids that travel though food realms.
They come from the milk place and travel for some reason. The Cereal realm is poblated with Asians, the Candy/Junk Food realm is a illusion and they have a movile phone-like thing that scans food .
A song with a female singer about being in love with your friend Music
I know a few of the lyrics but I can't find the song. It's a slow ballad-esque song about being in love with your best friend:
"And it's killing me alive. Reached the bitter end. Can't pretend I'm not in love with my best friend".
Cartoon TV Show Set in Medieval Times
I watched this show as a child. All I remember is it was set in a castle in medieval times. There was a wizard, a big male who wore red, a princess who was vain and a younger ginger girl who acted kind of like a monkey. Their parents (king and queen) were away for some reason so they were looking after the kingdom but in each episode something goes wrong that they have to fix.
Dark multiple-ending platformer with a gravity-defying mechanic Videogame
I remember seeing this on Kongregate. It might have also been on Jay is Games, can't remember. The player character is some type of blob thing in an abandoned laboratory, but I think all other people in the game were drawn just like the player character. One of the very first notes you find is some cutesy explanation of the controls like "this subject likes to move around with the arrow keys and jump with the space bar" that serves in contrast to the later plot developments.
The art-style is mostly minimalist and you learn about the plot by collecting cut-out newspaper snippets and papers that are left around in the lab. The main idea was that a scientist had invented some sort of anti-gravity device (which you find in-game and is used as a mechanic) that the military somehow used as a weapon to wipe out fleets of opponents much faster than normal. In response, the scientist committed suicide after realizing what his invention was used for, but you only learn that detail in one of the endings.
There was one particular room with three exits to it (not including the one you came in from) and each exit offered a different ending. Of those endings I remember two: you escape the laboratory and see a mushroom cloud form over a city in the difference, or you gradually go deeper into the laboratory and find the room where the scientist had killed himself and scrawled the words "I'M SORRY" in blood on the wall.

Video to teach kids French
In my fifth grade French class, our teacher made us repeatedly watch a video that sung (rather annoying) songs about things like spiders and butterflies to teach us French. I don't remember a whole lot about it, which is precisely why I'm trying to track it down.
Educational Program: Talking Paintings Live Action TV
There would be these kids walking around a museum or castle of some kind, and they would come up to this painting. The painting would come to life, and it would be a famous person from history (like, for example, Erik the Red) and they would tell them about their life and how people lived in their time period.
Final Boss Linked to Greed? Videogame
So, I read about this game in a Trope description, but I can't remember which game it was.
Basically, the difficulty of the final boss was directly linked to a room full of treasure. If you opened all the chests and took everything, the boss would be INSANELY hard. If you bypassed the room, the boss would be super easy, like killing a Mook.
Does anyone know what this was?
Used to be on hulu, not sure if it still is
I only saw a couple scenes from this show but never fully did because it was my old friend who watched it (I don't talk to her anymore so I can't ask her) but she would watch it on hulu, I don't remember much about what it was about but I think it was mainly about 2 people, a guy and a girl who were together (or not together? I don't remember if they were a couple or friends who really liked each other) but there were two other characters who were married, the wife was like a compulsive cheater and her husband was this tall awkward looking guy, and I think one day he caught her cheating and he was filing for divorce, but then she came up with this plan to trap him by her getting pregnant so she convinces him to have sex with her, but he's smart and uses a condom, afterward he throws the condom away and leaves, so she digs through the trash to look for it and when she finds it she heats it up. Lmao that's all I basically remember from this show. I saw this back around 2013 or 2014 (maybe 2015)
Kind of Old Manga with an Iguana? Anime
It wasn't popular or anything and I don't think it got an anime adaptation either but it had a decent length, like 60+ chapters? I'm not sure but it was completed. Its main character was a guy with glasses and he had a contract with iguana or a lizard of some kind that gave him air powers of some sort that let him sort of fly. He was really loyal to this one girl I can't remember anything about except that she's really strong and there was a whole group of people with contracts with different animals that he was a part of.
The setting wasn't fantasy or anything but there was an end of the world scenario. Near the end I remember the main character has to fight that girl.
There was also another girl in that group that also liked him but ended up with the fat dude in the group.
I tried really hard to find this but I either find nothing or Popcorn Avatar, it's driving me crazy. Sorry if this was too vague or if I got some of the facts wrong. At this point everything is starting to blur together. The talking iguana contract is the thing that stood out the most.

Name of animation show to do with an amulet Western Animation
(unsure where and how to post this in specific places) Medieval world where everyone has a unique superpower, a bit like boku no hero. Main character, a boy with black hair with couple of red stripes, wears red attire and has forging abilities but then finds an amulet with 3 abilities: a shield and sword, wings and something to do with time. He has two sisters, one which looks like a female him I forgot her ability but she uses a stick as a weapon , another who has blonde hair and wears blue things, she an apothecary. They live in with their grandfather. They also have a troll friend who is like a milk chocolate brown and is enchanted so he wont attack them and is friends with them. Main villain had a name like thanatos or thanos but I am not very sure and has the ability to teleport.
Some episodes I remember: One where the villain's base (a castle on a giant dragon's back) the dragon is sick r something and they need the tear of some elder dragon and so do the protags for something else. The troll goes to their home with the protags to fight his brother who is not very supportive with the idea of him being friends with humans. somethings happen and the twin sister and troll use a type of pepper to make the entire troll place go to sleep. The antag and protag are trapped in a limbo with a colossal titan and need to coop to find a way out, only ending up the villain double-crossing him.
Pop-rock song with a female singer who sounded English. Music
Only lyrics I could make out were 'turn it up' repeated at the end of the chorus and the lines at the beginning of the chorus started with 'turn it' (it wasn't 'turn it up' again). Singer sounded a bit like the singer from Black Honey, if that helps.
