Does the answer really make a difference? Either way, it serves as the cherry on top of the mountain of spontaneous, incredulous shit that happens in the show.

It happened, and I was initially kinda baffled but thematically it makes sense. From the premiere through the finale there was a strong current of dramatic irony, characters getting swept up in an ever-growing shitstorm of misunderstandings, lies, and chaotic absurdity. The

it was well worth the price of playing a bunch of other games to get enough gamerscore to get it for free

I don't think it's supposed to matter because it's just a crazy bit of chaos like everything else in the series. Even if you want to analyze every bit if it you can say it's just filled in by the narrator as that's the only episode that has a narrator. He says not much is actually known so it can just be made up to add to the legand.

I can't listen because I'm at work but doesn't that just foreshadow his fight with Bear? Of course the encounter and most of the events be real, but I meant the part specifically could be just thrown in along with the other instances. "Why was standing in the middle of the road?" Who knows? Maybe it was a...

"I saw something that year I ain't ever seen, before or since" is kind of broad, but it's not a huge leap to assume it's what he's talking about.
You want the devil to take over the kids of America or what?

Yeah, I'm ok with it either way. My feeling is mostly that it just doesn't matter. The whole "True Story" is specifically for it to be as crazy as possible and people still think it's true so this just takes it 10 steps forward.

Oh, I thought it might be something lewd. My mistake.

Listening to that Blank Check podcast has made me realized I saw every Shyamalan movie in the theater from Sixth Sense to The Happening. Hmmm

I've seen better miiverse drawings than my state flag but it still doesn't stop it from being the coolest state flag

Looks like a way people play Mafia (aka Werewolf) via forum thread? Not sure how much fun that would be since a lot of the appeal of those games is reading (or failing to read) people, but hey, why not.
I have more time for Shyamalan than most, but The Happening is in the top 3 worst major releases I've ever seen. Fuck, that film is horrible. Each time I thought they were in on the joke, the film would follow-up with a sharp reminder they're playing it completely straight.

The Visit was ok though.

I feel pretty much the exact same way. I even have some love for The Village and Lady in the Water which people usually think are horrible. The Happening is where I finally gave up on Shamyalan. I haven't seen anything he's touched since.

That lion scene is pretty incredible.
It also has a motherfucker getting iced. Are there any other flags that depict a murder?

Hey look at my Ipho-ohmygoditsnowtheshot-ohmygodhisarmsarebeingrippedoff!
I genuinely thought The Village was his best film (nudging just ahead of Signs). The twist was really obvious, but the great cast pulled it off anyway. Unbreakable and Sixth Sense were pretty good too. Didn't care for the rest.
The Visit was great. Legitimately a funny movie with some fun scares.
RepairmanJack

His problem is largely that too much focus has been put on his twists. Twist aside, The Sixth Sense is pretty damn amazing, The Village has some amazing directing and atmosphere, Signs has suspense in fucking spades. There were always great things with his movies outside of the twists but they became what you remember. He played himself.
Sleeping Lesson

I liked it too. Somehow I didn't guess the "twist" even though it seems super obvious in retrospect.
My biggest issue with his movies are the "twists". Signs:
aliens are killed by water. They decide to invade a planet where death literally rains down from the sky.
Salty Catfish

I agree with you about his insistence on twists, but re: Signs specifically, I think it was just a ̶s̶i̶g̶n̶ result of how desperate the aliens were for resources (they allude to that earlier with the book). It wasn't a full-fledged military invasion, just a desperate grab for a new planet.
