It varies a lot from person to person. The only way I was able to learn to swallow pills at first was to deliberately swallow air, like you do if you want to make yourself burp. Head forward? Head back? Both interfered.

It started off okay and then wow did it take an abrupt turn.

An Xbox 360 with a VGA adapter and Dead Rising. My TV at the time was one of those gigantic old 90s video editing CRTs, the kind that take all sorts of analog inputs like RCA and S-Video and even did HD if you could convert something to BNC, but pointedly would not do Component or HDMI. A few days prior I’d learned that VGA can be repinned directly to BNC, and then when I was wandering through Best Buy I saw they’d gotten some 360 VGA adapters in. I stopped, flipped a coin, called heads, it landed heads, I bought it.

I’d figured I’d get some minor fun out of it, basically just bought it because I really wanted to play Dead Rising. Instead I wound up using the ever loving hell out of my 360. Still have it, still works, no RROD or anything.

Gotta justify that printer ink budget.

You will be missed, ICQ. When no other messaging service worked, you always did.

Aye, the 2012 movie staring Karl Urban, not the 1995 dumpster fire starring Stallone.

The rumors that the cancelled next season of Enterprise would’ve had Shran as a main cast member had me damn near grieving. That would’ve been amazing.

As my wife put it, the Andorians make Enterprise worth watching.

It’s become harder to get clean(ish) audio captures for theater films, but it’s not impossible. There are still theaters with hearing impaired seating and headphone hookups, still a few drive-in theaters that broadcast via FM (one of those here in Reno, actually).

If anything, I think it’s because digital rips/DLs seem to come out more quickly. By the time a group has tracked down a clean audio stream and takes the time to sync it with footage, someone’s probably snagged a digital copy and released it.

Now Telecines, those are basically unseen these days. Almost no theaters still use actual film, and the few that do are way more careful about their inventory management. Gone are the days when a whole film can just get “misplaced” for a few days while someone with a Telecine setup copies it, to say nothing of how few people have the setup for Telecine anymore in the first place.

Elon: Let the free market decide.

Free Market: *decides*

Elon: Wait, no, not like that

Dredd. Karl Urban absolutely nailed that role, and all without ever showing the top half of his face.
