Nicely done.

Now this is a great trilogy that cost a fraction of the money to make even by the standards of the day for expensive movies.

Well the Transformers movies are all pretty bad anyways. So I cant see them doing much worse.

So are these. So I guess it depends on personal preference. or'

Recommend their names also all be lower case.

There were never any credits shown with them but Dr Seuss (aka Theodor Geisel) was easily recognizable as a writer on some wartime cartoons.

Independents have all kinds of views and are not beholden to either the right or the left. Views are neither liberal nor conservative and labels suck balls. I dont particularly like self-described liberalism or conservatism because it then tends to bind you to one side or the other. Veer from it and you are deemed unworthy by one side. Never veer from it and you are deemed unworthy by the other side.

Since Mr and Mrs Potato Head have interchangeable parts, like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get. I will have to say it here. One of these days, if certain people have their way, 'Lincoln' Logs will go bye bye.

What, no recount?

There is a south park episode about that. In the future everyone is exactly the same. And they have come back to the past to invade. The south park citizens *solution* to it all is.... well... to be expected from two self-proclaimed anarchists that never pulls any punches.

Yup its a big *IF*. But of course the kids all know "Mr" and "Mrs" Potato Head from all the Toy Story movies. And that is what they are going to remember. After all I am sure they all have the discs and watch them now and then. The box, with the changed name, goes into the trash and nobody will give it a second thought. And their kids are a big brood of aliens. Not potato kid.

In the end business is business and if it will make them a lot more money then its the right decision. Still.... ugh. I dont think I want to look up whether or not something is going to happen... or already has... to GI Joe. Not that anyone these days that plays with them actually knows what the GI is for. Dont mess with Joe.

This is 2021. If there arent enough ladies, then I'm sure some others can self-identify as women for an hour or two. Its in the law remember.

Change 'lawmakers' to 'lawmaker'. There is always going to be one that tries to introduce something that might make a few in his/her base feel good but doesnt actually go anywhere because everyone else knows it wouldnt survive basic challenges. Say if someone tried to ban Islam through some piece of legislation... which some have tried. A great many consider it to be a violent religion but religious freedom is a basic right in this country. Its a line that nobody wants to cross. Well except those idiots that want to simply ban religion entirely. However if they banned Scientology I dont think anyone would miss it. That said, there are countries that can require that certain content be taken out of a game, if the developer wants to be able to sell it, based on its own laws. Germany is a good example. However they are usually only minor things and a violent game is still a violent game. And of course CoD had its infamous 'No Russian" level. Playing CoD5 didnt make me want to kill Germans and Japanese. It didnt make me want to kill zombies either. If I ever saw a zombie I would already have wanted to shoot it in the head. Twice. Always remember rule #2 when in zombieland.

The days of 'ol.

I forgot how damn hard Bombing Run can be.

For some, at least those that care about such things, it also goes to reputation. They dont have to support an old game with updates or patches and such. Nor any new anti-cheat measures. That by itself isnt exactly cheap. And here we have UT2K4 back. Going on 17 years old but Epic keeps the activation/master servers going anyway since UT has always been its prestige title in the companies history. Their state-of-the-art game engine is Unreal after all. Wouldnt make sense to stop spending a tiny amount of money, in a company that earns several billion a year, to shut its namesake off. Its not as though anyone actually buys the game anymore either. Steam still sells CoD4. Dunno about 5 but the writing has always been on the wall for 4 and the thought is that their shutdown of the master server was an attempt to kill the game that backfired. Maybe in that particular case its because there is already a community run master server that would take its place if they did so. Albeit with an unofficial patch. Would make for an interesting story in the gaming press (or more so in social media) if the big bad corporation shut it down, over money, but players kept it going anyway on their own. Might suggest that for newer titles they really arent needed as much as they say they are.

Of course this is why we have VPNs. To get around the 'unavailable in your country' BS. The BBC doesnt like us 'mericans.

I assume both are the 2.5" variety and you didnt install a new M2 one. When I did the upgrade, and migrated everything, no matter what I did or changed in the bios the computer still considered the older SSD as the boot drive. After I took it out all was fine. Its now in a portable enclosure.

I dont even use Facebook at all and never will. So, that is that. That said, it took months for Activision to sort out the cod4 master server problem. Or get around to it.

Not mw2, same out of memory issue. It's a pretty heavy map with a lot of its own models.
