John Peter Bain (8 July 1984 – 24 May 2018), known as TotalBiscuit ( TOH-təl-BISS-kit, TB; sometimes The Cynical Brit or TotalHalibut), was a British video gaming commentator and game critic on YouTube. He was known for his role in professional shoutcasting and esports, and also known for his gaming commentary audio work on WCradio.com. According to Eurogamer, he gained a large following due to his video commentary on newly developed indie games and analysis of gaming news. Bain voiced strong support for consumer protection in the video gaming industry.
In October 2015 he announced that he had terminal cancer that had spread to his liver. He continued to critique games after the diagnosis, announcing his retirement only a few weeks before his death in May 2018.

Young ordered a summer curfew last year for everyone under 18 years of age. The curfew, from 10 P.M. to 6 A.M., put the Mayor at odds with the Amer- ican Civil Liberties Union, which sued to have it lifted as discriminatory against young people.

The economic news is remarkably good: Unemployment has fallen to 7 percent, the lowest rate in four years, while inflation holds steady at a modest 4.6 percent.

The Federal Communications Commission today dismissed a pro-Israel group's complaint that NBC distorted the news and violated the Fairness Doctrine with its television coverage of Lebanon in 1982. The group, Americans for a Safe Israel, had asked the commission to deny license renewals of the network's New England affiliates because of news reports that, it said, contained ''bias and misrepresentations.''

Up and down Main Street, residents of this village expressed stunned disbelief today at the report that local youths had been involved in the slaying and mutilation of a 17-year-old boy as part of a satanic ritual. ''It's unbelievable that this could happen in this community,'' said Bob Leonardo, a past president of the Northport Chamber of Commerce and the owner of Northport Cleaners. ''There are exotic things that happen in Manhattan, but they don't happen in Northport.''

After a Soviet fighter pilot shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007 last September with the loss of 269 lives, the United States demanded in a diplomatic note that the Soviet Union pay compensation to the families of the 61 Americans who died.

Greece's request for surplus aircraft will probably be turned down by the Reagan Administration, according to State Department and Pentagon officials. They said the Administration was near a decision to reject the request, largely in reaction to Athens's recent handling of incidents involving terrorist activity. Greece has been seeking to obtain 16 F-5 interceptors from Norway, which received them free of charge from the United States a decade ago. Norway has declared the aircraft to be surplus, but the United States retains control over further transfers. (Page A1, Column 6.) Illegal immigration in West Europe has reached the point where the Governments are trying to turn the immigrants back, but they have not been particularly successful, with the possible exception of Britain. Tamil tea pickers from Sri Lanka, Kurds from Beirut, Ashantis from Ghana, teen- agers from Iran seeking to avoid the draft and Pakistani drug pushers are seeking refuge. (A1:3.)
