Fascinating.

Only the very early ps3s could do that.

Only the 20GB and 60GB PS3 could play PS2 games, but every PS3 plays original PlayStation games.

The Happiness of the Katakuris is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen.

This seems weird to me considering every PlayStation console up to and including the PS3 could play original PlayStation games. The nostalgia just isn’t there for me.

De-Elmofied. Considering using a new doodle I drew a few days ago (after a digital makeover, of course).

I’ve got a few doodles I drew when I was bored in lectures over the past year or so. You might recognize the first one.

Spock

A few days ago I started watching the original show again, and found my original doodle looked a bit more like an older Spock. I can’t quite figure out how to draw Kirk.

New Spock with Kirk

Some more doodles of dubious quality:

Groovy Dude

Not a crook

Grumpy Teacher

Golly Gee Willikers

Barkeep

Elizabethan

Joker

Spooky

Stupid Cat

Dubious Groucho

Clown

Batman

Chimp

Bowling Alley Man

Django Prepare a Coffin – One of the only Django “sequels” that has any resemblance to the original. It’s not great, but you can do worse for the genre. I’m excited for Arrow Video’s new release of the original later this year.

You Canadians don’t cozy up to those oil regimes of the Middle East enough.

What the hell is going on? What would cause her to do something like that? It almost sounds like some kind of emotional breakdown.

Dahmage and Possessed’s rapport with one another always makes me feel charmed.

Agreed… in matters of passion, logic and reason rarely win to rule the day.

Kino is good, mostly. Criterion is obviously the gold standard. There usually aren’t that many editions of silent films on Blu, so you kind of just take what you can get. It really is on a case-by-case basis.

My favourite silent film’s probably Lon Chaney’s Phantom of the Opera.

Ending’s a tad weak, but Chaney’s brilliantly unnerving. And I just love the two-colour Technicolor sequences.

If I were to watch this, which version should I seek out?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Kino set. We don’t really have any version that’s not a combination of a few other versions, and that set presents the two main ones.

Its an acquired … shall we say … taste?

Haha, yeah, but it’s not the taste that bothers me. I’m a bit of a control freak, so giving some of that up to a foreign substance freaks me out.

Sure, once he’d won states like Florida and Ohio, his chances went up. That makes perfect sense. That’s like saying that the Oklahoma Sooners had a 71% chance of beating the Kansas State Wildcats, but once the Wildcats were up by 14 at the start of the 4th quarter, Kansas State had a 90% chance of winning. That doesn’t change that it’s an upset. That doesn’t delegitimize polling or predictive models. That doesn’t mean that you always pick the underdogs in every contest because sometimes they win.

I guess I’m not really sure what you’re responding to here. All I was saying is that anything could happen, and with how sure we thought 2016 would be, we shouldn’t be so sure now. Really I’m just trying to get out the vote. Go out and vote!

Welcome back, Possessed.

I see Frink is also unbanned… if you’re reading this, hi!

They also had Hillary at 90% winning… I’ll believe it when I see it.

Not true. On election day they had it at 71%. Given the popular vote turnout, that wasn’t an unreasonable prediction. Even if they did put her at 90%, that still isn’t a 100% chance. 1/10 isn’t even close to impossible.

I recall the percentages changed throughout the night. I may have misremembered, but I recall being shocked at seeing Hillary drop from so high and Trump going up to 90% (or somesuch number) after the first few hours.
