Another one that hurts. Normally, I'm not a big fan of rap or hip/hop except for Will Smith, but I really liked Coolio. Gangsta's Paradise is one of my all-time favorite songs.

RIP.

Not surprising, but very, very sad.  Apparently she was dealing with a coronary illness, and as mentioned, a stroke & broken hip several years back.

Still lived a long life; RIP.

 :nipplesarehard:Former Raiders running back Clarence Davis, who caught the famous "Sea of Hands" touchdown that allowed the Raiders to beat the Dolphins in a 1974 AFC Divisional Round Game has died at 73

Adjustments that should be made to pricing games to make them fairer: Secret X: Add a 3rd SP so that perfect pricing ensures a win. 1/2 Off: Add a 4th set of SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Master Key: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Rat Race: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win.

The following pricing games should be retired because there's no way or no easy way to make them fair: Spelling Bee, Plinko, Punch a Bunch, Pass the Buck, Let em Roll, 3 Strikes.

The following retired pricing games should be revived: $uper $aver, Give or Keep, Buy or Sell, Hurdles, Bump, Penny Ante, Credit Card, On the Spot, Split Decision, Add em Up, Walk of Fame, Barker's Markers, Magic Number.
