Hello friends, I am Sanjay Gupta. In this video I am going to demonstrate you how you can find out the greatest common divisor that is GCD using recursion in C. Before starting, you can subscribe my youtube channel by clicking on the link which is available at the bottom right corner of this video. You can download my app Techimus that is available on Google Play. You can connect with me by following these details which are available in front of you. Now coming on to the demonstration. Here you can see I have written a comment program to find out GCD of a given number using recursion in C. I am including a header file stdio.h. Then I have declared a function GCD. This statement is function declaration. In this function, two arguments of integer type will be passed and it will return an integer. Then inside main three variables A, B and result are declared. Using printf enter two numbers this message will be displayed on console and scanf will read all two numbers inside A and B. Then GCD this is function call. GCD function is called here and two arguments A and B are passed and the result will be assigned into result variable. This result will be displayed using printf statement. Then return zero is return because return type of main is integer. After main function GCD function is defined. This is function definition. This function is containing a loop which is checking if A is not equals to B then this loop will repeat and inside this loop GCD function is called. So this statement is recursive function call. Similar to this, this is also recursive function call. So here two recursive function calls are available which are based on this if condition. If A is greater than B then return GCD A minus B and B these two arguments will be passed. If this condition is false then inside else return GCD A comma B minus A these two arguments will be passed. This process will repeat while A is not equals to B. If this condition is false then at last value of A will be returned. That will be received by this result variable and this result will be displayed on console using printf. So this is all about how to calculate GCD using recursion. GCD stands for greatest common divisor. Now I am executing this code. I am entering two numbers. First is 100, second one is 50. You can see the greatest common divisor for these two numbers is 50. It means both the numbers can be successfully divided by 50. So I hope you have understood how you can implement GCD program using recursion in C. If you want to watch more programming related videos, you can subscribe my YouTube channel. That is Sanjay Gupta underscore tax school. Thank you for watching this video.


her. She picked this up at the Goodwill Benz for $2 and sold it for $149.99 plus shipping. Hey, fellow buddies. Thanks for watching. All right. So there's an item that I'm going to show you and it is creepy. I don't think it's supposed to be creepy, but it's creepy. Anyway, I'm going to show you that. And then there's also this item that I'm like, I've never even would think to pick this up and I love it. So my goal garage sale season next summer is to find some of these. So stay tuned for those items. We're going to get started here. This is a featured members video. Hey, fellow buddies. Thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right. Let's get started. These are members of my YouTube channel and I share their Bolo's. I'm going to tell you where they got it, what they paid for it, and what it sold for. A Bolo is an item to be on the lookout for, an item you can hopefully buy low and sell high. And there are some good ones in this video. So stay tuned and let's get started. Okay. So the first one comes from Butterfly Hustles. This is her YouTube channel. Definitely sub her up. She is a Bolo finder. She takes you into the thrift stores and she shares with you items to be on the lookout for. What did she sell? She sold this Supreme authentic vest khaki NFL Raiders embroidered patch vest. Now I know that Supreme is a Bolo. I don't know where she got it. She didn't say, but she did pay $250 for it and it sold for 220. So it might have been a retail arbitrage item, not 100% sure it is new with tags, but definitely made some money. When you're buying retail arbitrage, your margins are not going to be as big, but Supreme is definitely a brand to look for. I do know from what I have heard that it can be counterfeit a lot. So be very careful if you do find it. This right here, I just love this one because it is a vintage college sweatshirt pullover. These are missed so many times by people. They just don't know that they're a Bolo. And this one is pre-owned. You can see it's well loved. It's got some condition issues, but you know what? It did not match. So definitely be on the lookout. And at the Goodwill bins, I skipped the clothing and I know I should be looking for it because she found that at the bins. All right. This is an Orvis leather jacket. She said it sold super fast and she got it free. She sold this for $169.50 plus shipping. The next item comes from Mom Knows Treasures and this is her YouTube channel and she is doing fantastic over on YouTube. Let's get her to 1,000 subscribers. You guys, I will link her down below. Go and sub her up and tell her that Bolo buddies sent you. Okay. Let's look at what she sold here. She sold this watermelon peacock multicolor rhinestone brooch. I'm not seeing a peacock here. Are you seeing a peacock? But apparently it's a peacock. Maybe it's peacock colors. Yeah, peacock multicolors. I don't know. You guys let me know what you think in the comments. All right. She got this in a brooch lot off of Mercari. The lot was 17. So her cost of goods for this item was about $2 and she took a best offer of $32 plus shipping on this. These are pottery barn lunch plates. They are like trick or treat, Halloween, anything pottery barn. I usually look up. It's pretty good brand. It usually has a pretty good sell through rate and these are Halloween. So that makes it even better. She got these at the Salvation Army for $1.99 and she sold them for $59.99 plus shipping. This next item is a Portland, Oregon Christmas ornament from 1989. Betty Gimarelli. I'm not sure if I'm saying that right. First year gold plated. She got this on Mercari in another ornament lot and she sold... Let's see. I'm sorry. Hang tight here. It says Mercari. $4. So maybe it was $4 and I don't know what the best offer she took was. She didn't tell me that. So I apologize. But usually with best offer, there's a certain range that resellers are willing to take. LP record. She purchased this on whatnot. She paid $40 for it and she sold it. That was $40 all in with tax and shipping on whatnot and she sold it for $166 on Mercari. You guys, if you're not on whatnot, maybe you don't want to sell on whatnot, but you can definitely go and source on whatnot. My whatnot link is down below. It is a referral link. You will get $10 if you use that link to join and that's a credit to shop. I am going to be on whatnot selling eventually. I would love for you to follow me. I'm Bolo Buddies over there and that link down below will take you to my whatnot. So follow me and Franklin Hill Ventures is another one that's over there that's a member and I know there's other people too, but definitely consider buying and selling on whatnot. All right. So that was a really good super score there. God junk in our trunk. Awesome channel. She's doing these amazing videos. Why did I buy it? And I will tell you these are packed with knowledge. She has done estates for a long time. So she's super knowledgeable. Love her channel. Sub her up link down below. This is a Braille book and she got this Braille book for it was in a scrapbook lot. She paid two bucks for the scrapbook lot and she took a best offer of $55 and it sold in one day. So fast sales are my favorite sales. Vintage Christmas skinnies playing cards. How cool are these? She put ephemera in the title which is a great idea. People will use these to crafts. This is kind of an unexpected item. Not so much big money but very cool. Yard sale 50 cents and she sold these for a best offer of 25 plus shipping. Let me zoom in. So really great for crafting and junk journals and stuff like that. This is the one I was telling you about at the beginning. I never would have picked these up. They are woven, ratten, raffia, wicker, trivet, hotpads, boho, hippie. Check them out. They're beautiful. I love them. Oh my goodness. I just think they're fantastic. She sold these for let's see. She sold one set for 35 and one set for a best offer of 50. She said they sell fast. She picks them up at yard sales and she waits until she has enough to put them in lots like this. So very, very cool item. Here's the other lot she sold. So if you knew about these in the comments and have sold them, let me know. And if you didn't know about it, let me know that as well because this one is new to me and I am definitely going to be on the lookout. Horse and Hare Curiosity Shop. She has an amazing eBay store. She finds, I just, the most incredible items. Everything in her store is odd, unique, and different. So check it out. She sold this Wee Forest Folk Sun Snoozer Donna Peterson. And she got this at the Goodwill for $4.50 and sold it for 78 plus shipping. This guy right here is an antique Chinese temple statue carved wooden man with a beard. It says Wood Junk God. I don't know what all that means, but those are her keywords and obviously those keywords worked because she sold this for $95 and she got it in a state sale for 20. Mark Roberts Halloween Witch. Let's get the full body here. So this is her first photo and then this is the full body shot. So definitely very, very good. Facebook Market Place Buy $18.50 and she sold this for $135 plus shipping. So yeah, definitely check her out. Amazing eBay store. Vintage Spice. She has a newer YouTube channel, but I am going to say that I highly recommend it. If you like the style of what solds that I do where I just go in and I screen share and show you my what solds, that is what she's doing. But the cool thing is that she sells really cool stuff. She also sells on Depop. So if you guys want to learn more about Depop and Mercari, she's got those over there as well. Poshmark also, but she's got some really cool stuff. I'm really always impressed by her what sold videos. She sold this Vintage Estee by Estee Lauder. It's a cologne spray and she got this at an estate sale for 50 cents and it sold for $156.39 plus shipping and it is new in the box. I do want to take you over to the Toy Attic YouTube channel and if you are putting ORMD on your box, which is what I have been doing for Perfume, apparently the post office has changed their guidelines and there is a new sticker that you have to put on your box or it's going to be returned to you. She had three, I think it was two or three boxes returned to her. She talks about it in the video.  That's in the description of the video. I highly recommend if you are selling Perfume to go watch this video and make sure you have this on your package when you ship it. It's just something that has changed. I didn't know about it until I saw her video. So I will try to remember to link it down below. But if I forget, just go over to Toy Attic and you'll see it. This is the thumbnail right here. But she also has an amazing channel where she talks about a lot of vintage items, really, really good stuff. So definitely subscribe to her as well. All right. This is another item from Vintage Spice. It's a Ron Sadler Canada goose decoy. Some of the goose decoys can go for big money. Definitely look them up if you see them. She got this at an estate sale for five bucks and took a best offer of $49.50. This is a miniature dollhouse artisan signed border terrier puppy dog realistic. And she got this at an online auction for $9 and sold it for $45.99 plus shipping. Amazing steals and deals. His store always makes me smile. He is like a major bow low finder. But what I love is he's not afraid to sell bread and butter. So if you are looking for an item to buy for a Christmas gift or something like that, check out these eBay stores, you guys. They have fantastic stuff. I absolutely love this one. So amazing steals and deals. That's his eBay store. But he is also known as iBuyChit, C-H-I-T. This one right here is a winky face coin purses. These are from 1955, Hong Kong. And it's a coin purse lot. And you know what? I don't know. I forgot to go back in and write down where he got it and what he paid for it. So I apologize. But he sold it for $75. He picks stuff up for a good price usually. He shops a lot at estate sales and stuff like that. This right here, this clarinet, he got it at an estate sale for $50. And he sold this thing for $850. It is a Le Blanc Paris Wood Vintage clarinet with original case. How cool and fancy is that? Super cool, right? And this Mastercraft airplane. And again, I didn't write down the information. So I apologize. Maybe if you're watching Christopher, if you can put in the comments where you got it and what you paid for it, I totally messed up and forgot to write it down. But this sold for $250 plus shipping. So I mean, he has got an amazing store. I've actually featured his entire store. I will try to remember to link that down below as well. Just a girl making a living thrift. And this is Double Tease Treasures. And she has an awesome YouTube channel.  Let's get her to 2,000, guys. Sub her up. Let's see how many subs we can get her. She sold this Win Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner. Again, kind of an unexpected bolo. She got this at, says free. It was a personal item.  Somebody had bought it for her. And she's like, I'm not going to use it. I'm going to sell it on eBay.  Sell your own stuff. But tell me this in the comments.  Like, it's just no fun. I don't want a source in my house. I want to go out and I want to source. So if you have that same issue, let me know in the comments, like, do you just donate your own items when you know you could make money on them? Guilty. I do force myself to list some personal items, but you know what I'm saying. I know there's people that can relate to that. Just let me know in the comments. I'm excited to hear what you guys have to say. She sold this for $53 plus shipping. This is a hard to find Bath and Body Works plug-in Halloween Haunted House from 2016. She got this at the Goodwill for $6 and sold it for $49.97 with free shipping. This here is a new Le Covent des Minimus, yeah, whatever, verbena and lemon. It is a body splash and she got three of these. She got these on Facebook Marketplace for $5 each and sold all three of them for $269.91 plus shipping. So that is pretty incredible. I'm guessing it's a discontinued body splash and you can see it doesn't look full, but a lot of times for these older things they will evaporate some, but it looks like she had three of them. This comes from Antiques from Karen Janet and she's doing some Facebook Market stuff on some bigger items. So if you guys are not utilizing Facebook Marketplace for big stuff, you can definitely sell some stuff. She inherited a, we'll call it a horde. Her mother was into, I think she had a store. I don't have the best memory, you guys. So I kind of forget things and I've talked about this in the past, but her mom did something and had all of these amazing vintage items and she sells a lot of them on her YouTube channel. So she goes live and has selling events. So check that out. She will be linked down below, but she also sells on eBay and these items sold on Facebook Marketplace. Look at this amazing safe. Oh my gosh, it's incredible. If my husband would have seen this, he would have been like, that is amazing. He would have loved it. This was actually shipped through U-Ship and she sold this for $2,500. It's an antique 19th century cast iron hobnail safe with the key. Is that awesome or what? I think it's incredible. Look at it. Oh my goodness, it's incredible. Wow. Okay. The next item is the creepy item. It's like, I don't want to look. It's so creepy. It looks like, I don't know if it looks real or I just, I don't even know what's happening here. Just, ah, what do you think? Creepy? I don't know. I think it's creepy. Okay. Vintage Wolfenwein Greenacre Mannequin. $400 are best offer. She ended up selling this, I think for the $400 and the buyer paid the shipping on that. So definitely, definitely different. It kind of looks real. What do you guys think? Creepy? Oh, okay. This shelving units, $50. Okay. So these shelving units, $50 welded angle iron plywood shelves. So again, cleaning out this estate, I think she's getting ready to move. So she's just really trying to get everything out. She sold these for $100. It was 50, but she delivered. So she got an extra 50 bucks for delivery. So not too shabby, right? Okay. Impressions created. Here we go. This is an eBay store. This is a newer member. So if you're following the stores that I talk about, go on in and give this one a heart so you can follow. Great stuff. Great items, lots of variety. I love these Lucite candles. These are super cool.  Make a great Christmas gift. Sunbeam toaster. Thrift store, $5.95. Census sold on auction for $96 plus shipping. The next item here is this Tim Langholz Art Pottery Bowl. How cool is this? It's pretty incredible actually. Look at the detail. And there's what it looks like on the bottom. She got this at an online auction for $6 and sold it for a best offer of $265 plus shipping. The next item is this antique 19, or I'm sorry, the next one is this 1866 Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas with descriptions complete. And it does say read. How incredible is this? Oh my goodness. Okay. So here's what she said. She got this at an auction for $5. She took a best offer of $500. The person, and it was damaged, the person that bought it was taking out the maps and sells the maps individually. So somebody bought this to sell the pages individually. How incredible is that story? Super cool, right? The next item comes from Vichy's Treasures. This is her eBay store. You can check it out down below. Lots of cool stuff. And what did she sell? She sold more of this Fire King Jedi. She's didn't been doing really, really good with this. You saw this in another video, but these are additional items that she has sold. $4 each and sold for $59.95 plus shipping. This right here is a Penny Bright doll from 1963. It's a bridesmaid dressed with a blonde bob hair. And she got this for a dollar at a flea market and sold it for $39.95 plus shipping. These are McKinsey Child's Salt and Pepper Shakers. McKinsey Child's is an excellent brand to pick up. Definitely look it up if you see it. She got these at the Goodwill for $1.99 and sold them for $99.95 plus shipping. Pratt School of Professional Studies. You guys, these are 1974 curriculum cards. This is what they look like. How interesting. Pretty cool, right? And she got these at a flea market for a dollar and took a best offer of $55 plus shipping. All right, you guys, let me know in the comments which one was your favorite. I'm gonna have to say I love that hobnail save. That was incredible, but a lot of money. Again, if you want to join memberships, you can feel free to do that. If not, no pressure. Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching. Leave me an emoji of an owl or just write the word hoot. Thanks for watching.

Email from Site Director August to O5-5 Secretary. Date, 15-12-2005. Subject, regarding containment breach. I'm still not quite sure what just happened. Yesterday, our bots picked up unauthorized changes to documents on our internal servers. Two minutes later, all on-site personnel, including myself, blacked out for three hours. Every camera ceased to function during this period. When we woke up, we all had headaches, the entire site smelled like cigarettes and cheap alcohol, two of my guards were injured, three bullets were lodged in my desk, and somebody had shot SCP-3043. The only clue we've got regarding these three hours is SCP-3043's old documentation, which has been, well, updated, is one way to put it. I've included it with this email, along with the revised documentation for SCP-3043. We've got no clue who this Murphy Law character is. I'm recommending we immediately assign him an SCP identification and start investigating. All the evidence we've got so far indicates that he and SCP-3043 are unrelated anomalies.  The short of it is this. Either he saved us from the Mother of All Containment breaches, or he just wanted us to think that he did.  Attachment. Item number.log Interior. Murphy Law Detective Agency. Night. A light-skinned man leans back at his desk, feet up, reading a newspaper. He is clad in a white-colored shirt with his trademark Trilby hack tossed thoughtlessly atop his desk. We can see his shoulder-strapped holster. It carries a 44 magnum. A bent cigarette rests between his lips. His name is Murphy, and he's ready to give anyone a bit of the business. He is hard and handsome, but the sort of face you can use to smash up concrete, then dust off and still take home to show your ma. His voice is a harsh growl, as if he just swallowed a fistful of spent cigarette butts and followed it down with a sulfuric acid chaser. You see a lot of ugly in this line of work. Good people with bellies full of lead left to bleed out in rain-soaked alleyways. Love ruined. Turned inside out till it just becomes an angry, festering sore.  The door to the office flies open. A dark-skinned woman dressed in a white lab coat bursts in. She is in her 40s and has a fierce, vibrant beauty. This is the researcher, and although she might need Murphy's help, that doesn't mean she's going to like it. But when it comes to ugly, nothing beats a containment breach. What? What am I doing here? She wasn't the first beautiful woman to burst into my office and ask me that question. Same as anyone else, that's... you need my help. Don't call me Toots.  Alright, alright. My bad, Professor. I apologize. Now. Murphy slides his feet off the desk and rises to stand. He folds his arms over his chest and watches her. How can I help? I don't... I don't know how I got here. I don't even know what here is. I was... I think I was working on something when I heard typing sounds and suddenly... I don't remember. I don't even remember my name. A beautiful woman with a doctorate in molecular physics and no memory of who she was or how she got here.  Her name badge told me the rest. You're Professor Michelle Lewis. The researcher looks down at her name badge as if noticing it for the first time. She appears shocked. Her eyes rise back up to stare at Murphy. She now knows her name. It is Dr. Lewis. I... right. That's my name. I work for the Foundation. The Foundation.  I should have turned her away right then and there when the Foundation's involved.  Murphy scowls but nods his head moving to an open drawer on his desk. But me? I'm not the sort of man who stays away from trouble. Murphy pulls out two shot glasses along with a bottle of half-finished whiskey. He sets them atop his desk, focusing his icy stare on Dr. Lewis. I'm the sort who slides on over next to trouble and buys her a drink. All right, Professor. I'll take the case. You will?  My name is Murphy Law. And I'm the guy you call when everything that could go wrong did. Murphy Law in type 3043 for murder. Attachment. Object class. Log. Interior Murphy's car. Night. Murphy drives. Dr. Lewis stares out the window in the passenger seat. City lights wash through the car, casting both of them in a metallic tangerine glow. Dr. Lewis is wearing her seatbelt. Murphy isn't. All right, Professor. Talk to me. What else do you remember? How did we... when did we get inside of this... She was smart. But that was part of the problem. She was too smart. Always thinking too much. Sometimes you just gotta go along for the ride. Focus on the problem. What do you remember before stepping into my office? Right. I was working on something. Updating documentation, I think. Something about a change, an important one. That's when I heard typing in the other room. And then I felt dizzy, and it was like... like something was trying to erase me. Erase the thoughts in my head, even as I was having them. It sounded to me like a professor stumbled onto something she wasn't supposed to. Somebody tried to rub her out. But who? And how? Anything else? I can't remember all the updates I was making. But it had to do with SCP-3043. All right. What's 3043? I... don't remember. If I was gonna figure out this mystery, I had to find out what 3043 really was. And if the professor couldn't tell me, there was only one other person who could. Murphy turns left, browsed Quinkling with renewed focus. Site director August. Exterior Foundation headquarters. Murphy's car parks just outside of a sprawling gated mansion. If Site 95 was the rotting corpse, Site director August was the worms wriggled inside his corrupted core. Ribary, extortion, racketeering. He had his dirty paws in the pocket of every two-bit researcher, agent and D-class from level nine down to sub-level seven. Murphy shifts the car in park. Dr. Lewis turns to look at him. Murphy moves to open the door. But he also had ears everywhere. When a gnat took a crap, he heard the plug. If anyone knew what 3043 really was, it would be him. Mr. Law, wait! Murphy pauses, looking back at her. I just remembered. The update I was going to make to the documentation. Murphy tilts his head, waiting. I was going to change its object class. It isn't safe, Mr. Law. It's... it's Ketter.  Filled with conviction, he turns to walk toward the mansion's gates. Attachment, specialcontainmentprocedures.log Interior Site director's office. Morning. The office is expensively finished, with framed glass windows on three of its four walls. Outside, a lush garden grows on all of its sides. Morning light streams in through the windows, casting the room in a warm glow. Standing behind the desk, facing the rising sun, is a man.  He wears an exceptionally fine black suit. This is psych director August, a hard, brilliant man with a heart of steel. As Murphy enters through the door, he's flanked by two men in sharp suits. They are silent, but armed, ready to do violence at the snap of August's fingers. As Murphy shrugs himself out of their grip, they station themselves on either side of him. Mr. Law, you wanted to see me? Yeah, about 3043. When dealing with Site director August, you didn't try to bluff. You just kept your cards close and hoped to God the man didn't have a better hand. That's classified. Is it now? Since when does the Foundation care about classifying safe anomalies? August turns, ever so slightly. A pierced eyebrow is raised. I just raised the ante. How would you know that? And we care about classifying all anomalies, Mr. Law. So I've been told, but a little birdie tells me you might have classified one of them wrong. 3043 ain't safe, it's Ketter. August turns completely, staring Murphy down. You've been speaking to Dr. Lewis, I presume. Where is she? Something wasn't right. He was already calling me, and men like Site director August only smiled the instant before they laid down a winning hand. Safe, unlike 3043. What is it? August narrows his eyes, he gives the slightest nod. That was his tell. He unwittingly had shown me his cards, pair of aces. The two men on Murphy's left and right instantly reached for their side arms. Lucky for me, I was packing three of a kind. Murphy slams his left elbow into one man's stomach. He uses his right hand to draw his magnum 44. As the second man pulls his piece, Murphy pistol whips him in the temple. He goes down. Murphy spins and opens fire. Three shots slam into August's desk. August freezes, but shows no fear. His eyes narrow. It was time to cash out. 3043, last chance. What is it? Murphy pauses long enough to kick one of the men on the floor, but never looks away from August. You know precisely what it is. You were me. It's you, Mr. Law. You're the anomaly. You're SCP-3043. Murphy narrows his eyes. He gives one last kick to one of the men, then charges out the door. Exterior foundation headquarters. Murphy's car is still waiting for him. He runs toward it. Someone had played me like a fiddle. It was all a setup, and I was the stooge. As he reaches his car, he finds it empty. No sign of Dr. Lewis. 3043 was going to make me take the heat for whatever it did to the professor. It had wrapped me up nice and tight, even got me to present myself to the foundation in a pretty little bow. Murphy gets into the car, starting it up. But there was one thing 3043 didn't count. A man with nothing to lose. The tire squeal as he burns rubber, driving away. If the foundation couldn't contain 3043, then I just had to contain it myself. Attachment.description.log Interior Dr. Lewis' lab. Murphy kicks down the door, clad in his trilby, 44 magnum in hand. The interior of the lab looks like an office. Bookshelves stuffed full of science journals, several desks, paperworks scattered everywhere. Dr. Lewis' chair. The chair's tall back obscures whoever it is sitting in it. One thing kept coming back to mind. One thing that the professor had said. Murphy creeps forward, gun in hand, reaching a handout for the chair. She said she heard. Type it. Murphy grasps the chair, spinning it around. Sitting in the chair is a black 1937 Olympia Elite typewriter. A roll of paper is inside of it. It communicates via typing. As Murphy points the gun at it, it begins to type furiously. How? How is this possible? 3043. Was her goddamn typing.  What are you? Dr. Lewis suddenly steps out from the shadows of 45 in hand. She points it squarely at Murphy. Step away from the typewriter, Mr. Law. How are you doing this? Murphy turns his gun pointed back at Dr. Lewis. It's controlling you, professor. Just like it controlled August and everyone else. He was pretending to be safe, not letting anyone know it was sapient. That's...  You're the anomaly, Mr. Law. I have to take you in. Dr. Lewis' hand shakes. The gun trembles. It can rewrite any story it's part of, even the stories in your head. When you realize that you tried to update the documentation and it tried to erase your story, erase you. Stop.   I... I have to contain you. Dr. Lewis shudders, stepping back. Her hand lifts to grasp her temple. The gun tumbles to the floor. This isn't right. I'm supposed to be the one in control here. This is supposed to be my story, not yours. Murphy turns, pointing his magnum at SCP-3043. Wait.  Murphy pauses, waiting. Dr. Lewis sinks down to a seat, still rubbing her temple. All right, look just. I'll erase myself. I'll erase all documentation about myself, even from other people's heads. Then I'll make my documentation not refer to me, but just say that this lab is off limits. That will contain me. 3043 could do it, too. Sure, it could have been a trick. Or maybe not. Letting 3043 live, despite what it tried to do, it felt like what a good man would do. It'd be the right thing to do, wouldn't it? Yes. You want to be the hero, right? That's what this is about. You're the hero, so act heroic. Two gun shots. Heroes always do what's right. But me. Exterior city streets, sunset. Murphy walks out of the lab into the streets, smoking a cigarette, holstering his peace. He walks away toward the fading sun. I'm no hero. I'm Murphy Law. Interior, Dr. Lewis' lab. Dr. Lewis, now starting to recover, walks toward SCP-3043. Wisps of smoke rise up from it. Two fresh, 44 slugs have been pumped into it. The paper inside of it has its previous dialogue, with one addition at the very bottom. I'm just the guy you call when everything that could go wrong did. Dr. Lewis pulls the paper out to read it. The camera zooms down to the bottom of the page. The end. Attachment, revised.log Item number, SCP-3043. Object class, neutralized, formerly safe. Special containment procedures. SCP-3043 is to be kept in a secure locker on site. Access requires level 3 clearance. Description. SCP-3043 is a 1937 Olympia Elite typewriter. Two 44 caliber bullets are lodged in its casing. Before it was neutralized, SCP-3043 exhibited the ability to rewrite any physical document within its immediate vicinity to match whatever was typed into it. It was neutralized before any additional properties could be confirmed. On 14-12-2005, a containment breach occurred at site 95. During this breach, an unknown anomalous event prevented all outside contact for approximately three hours. All entities affected by this anomaly have no recollection of the events that occurred during these three hours. Furthermore, all recording devices within site 95 appear to have malfunctioned during this period. Shortly after this event concluded, site 95 reported all SCPs were now contained with the exception of SCP-3043. SCP-3043 was found in Dr. Lewis' office in its current state. Dr. Lewis also discovered that all copies of SCP-3043's documentation were now replaced with an updated version. See attached files. Redacted scene. Exterior. Docks. Sunset. Murphy stands at the edge of the docks, watching the sun go down on just another day.  A dozen men start pouring out of them, but he doesn't bother to look back. The men are smartly dressed in black suits. They crowd her out of short old woman dressed in white. She slowly approaches Murphy, believing heavily on her cane. One man follows her closely, her personal secretary and bodyguard. The man is Agent Frederick, but ever it is, he does it by the books.  After Frederick is clearly displeased, he'd rather her not get too close. He did some good work today, Mr. Law. Yeah. 055 reaches to pull the cigarette out of her pocket, placing it between her lips. If we ever need your services, how might we contact you? Murphy leans forward and plucks the cigarette out of 055's mouth. Agent Frederick immediately reaches for his firearm, but 055 lifts her hand to stop him. I'll be around. Murphy tucks the cigarette behind his ear for later. As he walks away, a fog begins to roll in. Agent Frederick steps forward as if to go after Murphy. 055 grabs him by the shoulder. But he's an anomaly. We can't let him go. We have to contain him. Forget it, Fred. It's Chinatown. Agent Frederick slides his hand away from his firearm. Together, they watch Murphy walk off into the foggy night. The camera focuses on Murphy's silhouette as the view fades to black. Dr. Lewis, played by Michelle Lewis. Site director, August, played by Jeremiah August.

And we'll see you tomorrow.


So, uh, the game seasons season. So I heard about this game from his people on the internet. So I bought it. It's a pretty new hot new game. I wanted to talk about a hot new game on the show instead of, you know, because you're running out of old games we've all played. Uh, so what is the deal with seasons? Well, the first thing that gets you in this game that you notice is the artworks, which are crazy colorful and pretty cool. I really like the evil. Well, not evil, but the nervous looking rabbit wizard. I've played him every time. It's weird. Like the character designs, like a lot of them, especially those main characters, like I'm not too into them.  It's like the quality of it is like, Oh, that is so nice. It's just not. It's like a really nice drawing of a thing. I don't want to see a drawing of, um, but it's fun. It's cute. Yeah. If you're someone who likes game artworks, this is, this is like, you know, a territory here. The game itself, you know, when I read about it, the thing that made me want to buy it was how this was a confluence of so many different game mechanics that we already knew sort of mashed into one in an interesting way. So here's how the game is the basic rundown, right? First you do a card draft, like seven wonders where everyone has nine cards and you take one and you pass the rest to the left. And you take one and you pass to the left and you take, and eventually you're left at nine cards in front of you. So you're constructing your deck based on an initial set and this drives the entire game. Everything beyond this deck construction is just moving the mice. Right. So you end to everyone ends up with nine cards through a draft, like seven wonders and those, you know, however many people are playing, this is going to be nine times. So if it's a three player game, there'll be 27 cards. The deck has a lot more than 27 cards. So we actually, we played it a few times now and we have probably not really experienced the depth of all the possible cards. I however have won every game I've played and I've used, I use different strategies. It just didn't matter. We'll get to my opinion in a minute, but I'm I'm still running down the game and you're jumping ahead. I'm just saying I'm increasingly sour on the game. The more times I win it. So anyway, you get these nine cards and here's the interesting part is you split them into three piles of three each. The first three cards are your starting hand. The second three are for part two and the third three are for part three. So this is this beginning setup of the game forces you to create a long term plan where you say these are the cards I'm going to have in the second part of the game and these are the cards I'm going to have in the third part of the game. You have to, you know, you really have to long term think right from the get go. What are you going to do in this game? And you can look at those cards later. You just can't pick them up until the time is right.  And you don't really have to think too much about the future or you maybe there's a game like chess where you have to look at the future, but you're looking at what's possible in the future. And this one, you already know a lot of the future right because you planned that future and now you have to make that happen. So if you set up a bad future for yourself from the beginning, it's going to be very hard to make it happen. No matter what you do now to balance that a good future, then you still have to be able to make it happen. Considering all the other things that other people players are going to in my opinion, the decisions as to what to put in 123 and also what cards to choose relatively obvious, trivial. Yeah. It's not too hard beat Moseley because it's not too many cards. Now more to the point, the real strategy, the game breaks down pretty quickly and that the real strategy is looking at the set of cards in the draft, anticipating what cards other players took remembering them and will take and constructing your deck such that you will mitigate the cards they have know they're coming, know the order they're going to put them in a win. The problem is that is a very high effort for relatively little return and I frankly don't bother with that and still win every time I play. So the next all two times you play. Yeah, I won by so much both times. So the next thing that happens is you start to play the actual game and it's what it does. You have a rondo that goes around in rondo. It goes around the seasons of the year and is three years in the game. So the second year is the second part in the third year is the third part. So four seasons per year, three years per game and each season has a set of dice and what you do is you roll those dice. You know, so if you're in winter, you roll blue dice. If you're in summer, you roll yellow dice. Everyone complains about this in their right to complain about it.  He people confronted him on board Game Geek. He is wrong. Yes, he made summer and fire yellow and he made fall and autumn and air red.  Why is the fire not red as a result? I refer to them purely as fires and feathers and I ignore the colors. I also ignore the colors, but anyway you roll the season dice associated with the season and then people each take one die. So it's sort of a Puerto Rico situation. I'll take the captain. I'll take the craftsman only instead of taking, you know, these cards that are always available every time you roll dice. So the thing you want might not be available. So everyone picks a die that came up on in different seasons. You're rolling different dice too. So, you know, thing you want might not be available that season at all and you got to get the game to go around. Now this ends up already in terms of review being it really influences the game too much. Every both times I've played. I have had no more useful actions to take long before the end of the game and the only chance I will have a being able to make a further decision of any kind is if there happens to come up the option to draw another card to then play. Yeah, one of the die.   It's really all about getting resources to be able to play the cards.  You need stars. You need all these different elements. You basically need to collect resources from dice and other things in order to be able to put cards on the table. And then the what the cards do is sort of the whole game and as getting you victory points either in the forms of the cards themselves or crystals are also worth points and you basically go around three times doing this.  Yeah, and whoever gets the gauntlet that lets gives you a one discount and everything is pretty much guaranteed to win that card is ridiculously powerful because it basically makes everything easier to every card easier to play and being able to play all your cards is pretty much the hard thing to do in the game. That's that's what you have to do to win. So and you lose at the end of the game negative five points for every card you didn't play and you've got nine cards minimum to play. No, what's interesting is the game may make you force you to draw more. So that's even which for me is great because I play them immediately. You've got the freaking glove which I always do. You've had twice right. So the thing is that this is where the game is interesting because it breaks a few of the sort of standard assumptions of games and standard limitations, especially of card games, kind of like how Dominion got rid of the I have a hand of cards and I kind of play one card at a time or you know I have a limited number of actions.  And when I first played Dominion, that was a big deal. That was like, that was like doing something. First played Dominion in Boston.  The second time you played Dominion. Yeah, but it was like this forbidden thing. It was it was refreshing because there's always the thing you want to do in games that games never let you do because the mechanics tend to break down. This game does that in the sense you can play as many goddamn cards as you can possibly spend mana on or energy tokens or yeah. It's the vocabulary. This game is a little weird crystals energy tokens. Yeah, and some of them are gauges, but some of them are meters.  Three year wizards dual. Good thing. Good thing. Both didn't show up. That's another thing. There's two different kinds of cards as purple and orange. Purple cards are magic items. So when you play those, they're generally just boosts to you. Those are the cards you really want to play a lot of, but there's also these orange cards which are all familiars and they all have creature themes, you know, that's like so and so the destroyer or whatever. All those cards sort of damage everybody else at the table and they usually damage everybody else to the table relatively equally. So you can't sort of target the guy in the lead to do any king making.   Yes, but it does have that sort of interaction, right? So I mean, you saw most of the cards during the draft, not all of them obviously, but most of them, whether you took them or not. So you know that someone has, you know, whatever card you passed to the left. So you know that, you know, that's going to come around at some point, like the air elemental, which no one, it was the end of the game. I only had a couple cards left in my hand. None of you expected me to do that. I knew the was coming eventually. It just came in a really bad time. I didn't even care about the attack. I only played it because it's worth a bunch of victory points. Exactly. My strategy to win this game is simple. I get cards that help me play more cards or that are worth a bunch of victory points and are easy to play and I otherwise I just move my mice. Yep. There really isn't too much to think about once. Well, no, there are things you can do to you can spend a lot of mental effort. That is not terribly fun to have a slight edge. For example, Scott played a card.  When I played it, when I played it, I see two of those went around the table at the same time. The problem is that card is only effective if you count out the modulus math of when it's going to hit different people and what resources will be available. Usually it hits anyone who a doesn't have water, right? So you can play it after everyone has used their water or there won't be water for another couple seasons or B it hits the first player because even if the first player has water when it'll get to them, their turn has already passed. So they can't do anything to get rid of it again because they've already done their stuff this turn. So they get hit. They pass it to the left the next turn with their water and then the next player to the left of them is obviously the new first player. So they're stuck with it now. So you could count it out and figure out and plan and make that card be fairly effective. But for example, Phil passed it to me and then a card came out that we were forced to give up, you know, take back a card, discard or sacrifice a card we had out.  Yep. And in a way that card to be beneficial. It's also a very beneficial card. There is no way to plan beneficial effect unless you spend an unreasonable amount of unfun brain effort. Yep. It's also that card just to add to it. Right? If you're the person who plays the card, not only can you, you know, easily immediately pass it off at the beginning, but it gives you a huge bonus when you immediately play it in the form of I think it might put your summoning gauge up one, but I know it gives you 10 crystals. So it's not a bad if you just play it. It's already helping you and hurting everyone else. Yeah, except it's almost guaranteed to come around and hurt you very soon. Even if it comes around and hurts you, you're still better off than everyone else. The other thing that makes the game interesting, but kind of bad is that you have crystals are victory points and you can spend crystals to do stuff and a lot of attacks remove crystals from you. So you can remove victory and other people will take crystals from you. The problem is I tend to play decks where well strategies and it seems very effective where I hover around zero and these attacks don't hurt me at all. So basically at every round, there was a thing happening where everyone was losing four victory points, except me because I had zero victory points on the board. My victory points were all in cards. As a result, I was effectively gaining four victory points on everyone except the person doing that action every round. Yeah, there are very few cards that and I think this is actually a problem with the cards. At least when I've played, there are very few cards that attack the cards of other players, right? And when they do, they're always like everyone picks a card to take back into their hand. There's no counter spells. There's no randomly, you know, I mean the worst thing that you can do is make everyone draw and it only hurts people who are having a hard time playing who are already losing. If somebody's winning, drawing a card for them is great. So it's like it's not necessarily a negative.  So forcing everyone to sacrifice a card could be good or bad for opponents. There is no universal way that I've found. There might be one I haven't seen that hurts everyone other than you in the cards as opposed to in the crystals. Now my real kind of core problem with the game is just that you have so few options. It is likely as in I'd say there's about a 30 percent chance on any given time it is your turn that there is literally no action you can take and you just pass.  So while the game is relatively simple and should be relatively quick to play and it does have interesting mechanics that other games do not have and has a light strategic depth because complex strategy is difficult to enact and not terribly fun to enact the problem is the nature of this game with all the proper noun cards with tons of text on them in different effects means that the majority of the people you would ever play this game with will take for fucking ever on their turn. Yeah you really if you want to play you cannot play this with people who take time on their time I played a nerd in my seat and it took longer than any game I've ever played it nerd in my seat and the one other smart guy was playing with said the same thing and we were playing with the two other people just like didn't really get it and the game took so long it says on the box one hour I think it really one hour game they really only play tested this I think with people who knew how to fucking play card games like you know ccg's and things well and here's what I think is going on the people who take too long on their turn it's a fairly simple problem that's it's not specific to this game is universal in my experience anyone who takes a long time on their turn in board games typically does not have the sort of generic aptitude for discarding clearly bad decisions or clearly bad choices they have very poor to use a garfield term they have personally very poor directional heuristics right and he said computing all the different possibilities exactly because he said a beginner in a game is very likely to not notice a lot of the options they'll only know about a few things they can do so their turn is quick because they only can see three ways to go and they pick one of them a really advanced player can see all the different ways to go but knows that 90 percent of the ways to go are completely meaningless so also has pretty much like a two or three choices and picks one quickly like in chess i know not to start with the polish open right as much as i like it it's the intermediate players they can see all the choices but they don't know that most of those choices are completely stupid and useless they're considering each and every one even though you know they're not able to just quickly and swiftly say yeah none of those are good ideas there's really only two good ones so they take for fucking ever and that's the kind of person you're going to find at board game night now it's funny because if you go to a convention like packs there's fewer of those people because most of the people in tabletop are either before that point in their board gaming career or after that point it's like that point only exists in quantity in like local board gaming groups that meet up somewhere yeah but it's an intractable problem which is why this game fails in the sense that the strategy level is perfect for people at that level but because of all the text and all the fiddliness those are the people who take the longest on their turns thus making it an unbearable game to play i think this game could do well right if uh there were you know they sort of changed it up a little bit you know mathematically right like if you had more cards if there were if there were different cards of more variety right and if you know uh you didn't you weren't penalized so heavily for not playing every single freaking card uh you know then the game would be more dynamic as you went around as opposed to just sort of after you plan the game it's a race to play all your cards and whatever they do they do and also the drafting thing at the beginning i want to experiment with this it's everyone draws nine and everyone ends with nine why not draw 15 and end with nine sure you'll get more powerful everyone will maybe it'll be a dune situation then yeah or why not do something like you know uh you know everyone gets you know uh you know 12 and you know it's on you you can either take one and put it in front of you or you can take one and throw it out of the game or you know you can make if you mixed up that draft at the beginning then i think people would end up with a lot more interesting or maybe like everyone draws you know some number of cards you give one to yourself and you give one to someone else to start with and then and then you pass i think a lot of things we mixed up in that draft phase such that you know and then so someone gave you a card during the draft you look at the draft phase is basically 80 percent of the game right so now if you mixed up that draft phase a little bit and you had different cards or more of them or whatever someone gives you a card during the draft you it's going to be in your hand you've got to play it during the game so now when you get the next set to pick from you you see a really awesome card in there you would have picked otherwise but now you've got to pick a different one because it'll help you deal with the shitty card someone else gave you that you're stuck with so and then you end up handing that other really good card to the next guy and so on and so forth so i think if i had to recommend this game i would actually recommend you not buy it yeah i would i say generically because if you're you know the kind of people i would want to recommend this game to like i said are the people who you know the sort of novice board gamers it's like a light game you can play relatively quickly but odds are you're going to end up playing with people who will take so long on their turns that you will hate this game yeah and if you're an advanced board gamer the only time you should buy this game is if you are bored and you've played every game you already owned to death and you're looking for something novel that's really yeah that's really the biggest benefit of this game is the artwork and the novelty of this combination of mechanics that you know are some of which are in other games but really aren't all together in one place and you will learn something by playing it if you're big into games which we did learn something from it yes things the other one more thing i want to say about this game is that the the boxing of this game is the most wasted space of any game ever it's like a deck of cards a bag of chits and a few boards and it's in a giant full-size box that has got to be at least eighty ninety percent air right this needs reboxing so hard harder than any game i've ever owned so if you're the kind of person who wants a game that doesn't take up a lot of space this is a good game to get because you can rebox it but if you keep the original box man this game is going to eat up your whole freaking shell for no reason at all and i hate that and i wish people would stop that so yeah and as a result there are so few people i can recommend this game for that i actually despite relatively enjoying and have to say that i would not recommend anyone by this game i i'm trying to think of any group to recommend it to and the only one i can think of right is if you are someone border lettuce no if you are somebody who wants to sort of move over into the european board gaming situation right and you want to learn some of these mechanics like action taking and but you come from a ccg kind of background like that's your right then see where you're going if you're a i take back my right if you're a ccg person this could be a transition game into the euro board gaming world because it has both aspects combined right but what i would say to you there is harden the fuck up and just play al grande of course of course but you know that at least you know what other game does that really uh yeah that's that's the only thing i could recommend it to that prickle a little bit either that or if you're a board elitist in board games like us everyone wants a copy of seasons or i'm likely only to play it a few more times if i'm going to make another recommendation this is a good game if you are someone who really enjoys german board games or board games in general have played a lot of them have started to understand them and want to design your own games use this game to see some mechanics that don't really work that well and kind of follow through a game and try to identify like where it fails and see if you can come up with ways to fix it it's a game that is you know it has problems but it's not one of those games that's like oh so obviously broken right like mario card or or what was that board game we had with the greek guys uh well that was just poorly written rules yeah that wasn't i i think that game if you figured out the rules actually not so bad uh whatever but helis helis but this game is a game that's like just slightly problematic so if you really want to learn a lot about game design and a lot of the you know pros and cons of the all the different mechanics it uses they're all only slightly broken and only someone who's really learned a lot about games will be able to see the flaws in this i think a lot of people will play this game and who aren't like us and will think it's kind of pretty great and i can i can anticipate with it at all i i had entire discussion i would have with certain unnamed people about this game where they would tell me that one i haven't solved the game that i'm not i'm giving it a short i haven't solved it right well in the sense that i'm giving it a short shrift and they they would say that it's much more strategically complex than i give it credit for maybe if you added a fistful of extra cards well there is depth there the problem is it's dota depth it's it's depth that is not enjoyable to explore nor is it analogous to the game itself this has been geek nights with rim and scott special thanks to dj pretzel for the opening music cat lee for web design and brand
