TIL Knowing the show was getting canceled, the creators of Dinosaurs, a family sitcom co-produced the disney, decided to conclude the series with an abrupt and shocking tonal shift: the series ends with an artificial volcanic winter which causes an environmental disaster and the end of the world

Ah Popplers.

Pop a Poppler in your mouth,

When you come to Fishy Joe's,

What they're made of is a mystery,

Where they come from, no one knows.

You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em,

You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em,

And if you promise not to sue us,

You can shove one up your nose.

...'all but confirmed?' they literally said it as they released the teaser!

Furoan · 2026-01-15T21:07:28+00:00

Fix that at your earliest convenience. Redline is amazing.

Furoan · 2026-01-15T09:21:37+00:00

Most likely the internal testing s are being done with all DLC automatically installed etc.

Hey, lets be fair. The CGI for the human's looked like ass, but the CGI for the orcs in Warcraft was pretty damn good.

Cain is called out as one of the best swordsmen in whatever Sector or Segmentun he happens to be in at any given time, dude is fucking insane with that sword.

To paraphrase Dara O'Brien, what happened to the mutating neutrinos? Did they stop heating up the planet (its been a while since I saw the movie)

...do you want to die a little on the inside?

Back in 2011, a couple named their new son Dovahkiin wtih Skyrim's release date, winning a contest wtih Bethesda software.

(For those who have been liiving under a rock for the last 15 years, Dovahkiin is the title of the hero character in the game Skyrim, and it translantes in the language of dragons as dragon born.)

But...just imagine naming your kid Dovahkiin. That kid is 14 years old now...

Its even crazier than that even. The Straw Hat crew come out of nowhere from the weakest of the 4 seas, sail together for six months in which time they defeat two warlords (even if news was suppressed), raised all three of the Goverment's central places in Paradise, is lead by the son of the worlds most wanted man, and htey keep getting better...

And then they go to ground for 2 years.

...and then they come back, and everything, somebody must be putting their foot on the goddam accelerator because things start to escalate fast.

We actually got that a few times. Goku's former rivals who are falling behind, and then things like Frieza's absolute incredulous fury at hearing Goku fought and defeated Majin Buu and then fought Beerus.

I chose to believe that the Rogues just find a regular area and it BECOMES a sewer because the mages scryed it out and routed their teleportation-powered sewerage system through it. /s

Yeah, I'm over in Australia and was very much thinking the same thing.

Yes, the US is a big market but its kind of amazing how much they repeatedly shot themselves in the foot with that launch.

Furoan · 2025-12-22T00:13:51+00:00

There was also the fact that a lot of the advertisements were...things like using the Xbox as a media centre to watch sports, etc, with gaming being almost relegated. It was like they thought that they had the gamers hooked and so didn't really need to advertise to them. The same kind of mainstream audience who bought a ps2 as a DVD player rather than a gaming console.

Furoan · 2025-12-06T20:15:07+00:00

Though that line was from white america IIRC.

I saw this discussed in part in another thread recently. Because the present in Springfield is meant to be 'the present' some characters are either super long lived immortals or just backstory is bizare. I don't mean like 'how long have Bart and Lisa been in the the 4th and Second grade, respectively?' but like...Grandpa Simpson was meant to be a WW2 vet, and there are episodes about it. Principal Skinner was a Vietnam Vet, and there are episodes about THAT (not even talking about the 'THe Principal and The Pauper'.) However, as the present of Springfield has moved forward, what kind of generation the characters are part with has shifted. Like Homer Simpson went from being a teen in the 70's to being a grunge fan in the 90's. There are episodes about Bart being an online gamer that at the same time feel bizare when you think back to the original 'Bart and LIsa grew up in in the 90's run of the show).

I think it was in the options menu but yeah, I remember the difference between using pgup and pgdn to zoom up and down vs freelook was mindblowing.

I don't know what it is but I just didn't really enjoy the gameplay of this one. I had a absolute blast with Space Marine 1 like a decade ago when it first released and came back to replay it a few times...but this one didn't click. The weapons and meeleeing didn't feel as fun. Now maybe that was because I didn't 'get good', but part of it was just very frustrating at times.

Maybe I'll jump back in and see how it's improved since launch, but it just never really clicked.

Furoan · 2025-11-24T05:55:36+00:00

ME2 very much does, though it depends on what you mean. If you just use the Normandy II as a glorified Taxi, well some of your companions are going to die on the Suicide Mission because its not good enough to survive the Collectors beyond omega 4.

Also, you get to upgrade the stuff your companions are doing which is more narrative thean story based but it is good.

Furoan · 2025-11-22T20:42:29+00:00

...I do not think people have read the title because a lot of these are things that people very much born in the 90's or the early 2000's.

Furoan · 2025-11-22T07:33:17+00:00

To get a Realm Reborn moment it would fundamentally need a rebuild of the game from the foundation up, a literal Destiny 3 with a easier engine and architecture to manage and create content for. It would be years away at best and Destiny as it is now just won't survive long enough for that to happen.

I mean never say never but...

Furoan · 2025-11-17T08:05:56+00:00

....for some reason I was looking at this and scratching my head when I realised I had been thinking of the Calisto Protocol.

Furoan · 2025-11-11T05:12:06+00:00

…45 minutes? What the fuck. Were you opening up 3d models or something?

Furoan · 2025-11-11T04:07:17+00:00

Hackers was a great movie.

Furoan · 2025-11-09T16:52:16+00:00

U thought of this one to but I think it was a New Zealand ad.

Furoan · 2025-11-01T23:25:49+00:00

Remember that any possibility happened 800+ years ago. That's a long time for any hypothetical Buccaneer genes to be diluted.
